(AllHipHop News) Chief Keef is going back to jail and all for the love of marijuana. Yesterday (October 15th) Chief Keef was sentenced to 20 days in jail for a failing a drug test thus violating his probation.
Keef, born Keith Cozart, probation stems from a speeding violation he incurred on May 27 for driving 110 mph in Chicago. A stipulation of the probation was random drug tests.
Since Keef turned 18 this past August, he will spend his sentence in Cook County Jail.
Keef posted a picture of himself on his personal Instagram profile outside the Courthouse before he turned himself in:

His debut album, Best Thang Smokin’, was released in August 2006, his sophomore album, High Times, was released today, October 2013 on Grand Hustle/eOne/Atlantic Records.
More than seven years later.
But, Young Dro will tell you that he wasn’t on a break. He released 12 mixtapes, toured, and spent time with family, ““I was looking through the body of work that I’ve done to see if I’ve felt myself that I’ve been gone, I came up with 17 cd’s with like 17 or better songs on them. So, I can’t say that I’ve been gone, some of these CDs have taken me to Germany to tour. I’ve still been able to feed my kids, so I can’t say that I’m gone because a gone person can’t do these things that I do.”
With High Times, Dro is back (like he never left) with an album that features a hit single, FDB (F**k Dat B*tch), that became an Atlanta anthem over the summer, produced by FKi. The album also features T.I., Spodee, Natasha Mosley, and Doe B. Despite the gap between his first major project and his second, Dro is feeling very little pressure, “First week numbers, they come second. You gotta get the album first, and I’ve done that. I’m gon’ put out music, and help people get on that I want to get on, that’s why I’m going somewhere with it, if not it’s a selfish act.”

Mannn…It was all good just a day or so ago. And the whole world was doling out condolences to Adrian Peterson for the loss of his two year old son who died at the hands of an abusive man dating the boy’s mother. Well we all in prayer for the boy’s soul. Seems like the sadness has turned to anger towards Peterson.
The child’s mother said the following:
Y’all give this man to much credit. PR is a b#### and a lie He has 5 other children that he picks and chooses to deal with which is rarely. Kids in the same city he will go months without seeing or talking to. #AdrianPeterson 4h
Yall are painting him out to be this hero thats clueless but wants to save the day by doing the right thing but he has a 4 year old boy he could do the right thing by everyday and CHOOSES NOT TO! #AdrianPeterson
AND THEN…Bobby Ruffin, the actual “father” of the child, steps up and says something similar.
“So tired of this poor Adrian Peterson sh*t. Let me blow all your minds. The boy who died was my son. Yes A.P. he was the biological father but I raised him and he carried my name. Tyrese Robert Ruffin. I don’t blame AP for not really caring cuz him and I both found out recently who the biological father was.
AP met my son for the first time yest when my son was already in coma. I was here today when we pulled the plug, not him. He was happily practicing and has no problem playing on Sunday.
So yeah this isn’t all out yet but I’m sick of the poor AP sh*t. He didn’t know or even meet my son. Sorry for the outburst but put yourself in my place.”
Got this off The Urban Daily. Wow. I’m not sure what to think about this, because ultimately it needs to be about the boy, not A.P.
TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

(AllHipHop News) Chris Brown has said on numerous occassions and in a variety of ways that he does not care what people think but he may have made his loudest statement. Earlier tonight, Chris Brown released his unheard verse from DJ Khaled’s “I’m Still” song and addressed Rihanna’s sexual promiscuity.
While Brown says no names on the record, he did say that not only has “everybody in the industry” had sex with a former girlfriend of his, but they all told him.
Chris Brown recently announced he will be pushing his new album X from its rescheduled November 19th date to December 3rd. However, he will release five new songs on November 19th.
Check out Chris Brown’s unheard verse from DJ Khaled’s “I’m Still”:
(AllHipHop News) There is one immutable truth Kendrick uttered in his verse during TDE’S BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher earlier tonight (Oct 15): “ain’t nothing been the same since they dropped ‘Control’.” Two months, countless subliminal disses in interviews and songs as well as endless debates later, Kendrick Lamar responds to his detractors in song for the first time.
Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and TDE new signee Isaiah Rashad deliver noteworthy verses, but Kendrick’s tour de force of lyricism was to centerpiece of the cypher. While none of the lyrics were directly aimed at anyone, lines such as “I got my thumb on Hip Hop and my foot in the back of yo a*s/Aftermath get the last laugh” felt reserved for certain MC’s.

(AllHipHop News) Radio and the blog world play nice for most of the year, but there are moments when the two entities collide and Hot 97’s Program Director Ebro Darden and RapRadar’s “blogger” B. Dot Miller are usually at the center of it.
Ebro has taken issue with B. Dot’s constant insinuation that Hot 97 does not support local New York acts nor do they break artists. In the 90-minute plus interview he explains not only why Hot 97 does not “take risks” with unheralded artists but points out a bit of hypocrisy:
The reason Hot 97 does not take risks like it did in the 90’s is because Clear Channel Radio has commoditize radio to the point where when we take a risk on a record, there is nobody else caring in the city, but they say they’re Hip Hop. You two, RapRadar, just came from a show, The Breakfast Club, where they do not break any music on that radio station, because it is a syndicated national radio that does not care about local music. Your website, RapRadar, you guys care about the culture, you guys care about your business model, you guys care about getting hits. A lot of the content that lives and get a lot of life on there is mainstream content.
B. Dot sent a tweet from his personal Twitter account denying any payola on RapRadar’s side:
@JusAire there’s not one artist on this planet that can say they’ve paid me for coverage. FACT.
Ebro also flatly denies one Hip Hop’s darkest secrets: radio payola. Radio payola involves radio stations accepting money and/or gifts in exchange for song placement. Ebro even referenced Eliot Spitzer’s infamous audit of radio stations which started in 2005 and resulted in Sony and Universal Music Group paying over $10 million each in settlements for payola accusations. According to Ebro, Hot 97 was found of no wrongdoing:
Eliott Spitzer ran through this radio station with a fine tooth comb and the whole city for payola? You know who the fu*ck got in trouble? The Program Director at Power 105, he got fired. They ran through everybody. You know what we got? 0 dollars. So, fu*k y’all n*ggas with that bullshi*.
Check out the full Juan Epstein interview with Elliott Wilson and B. Dot below:
Apparently, a lot of children have been left behind when it comes to education. Case and point, this woman who resembles a Barbie doll pondering the age old mystery of whether dogs have brains or not. One of her theories is, “Dogs cant talk so do they have brains? Yes, they walk but it’s because we’re telling them to walk just like if i told my computer to turn off, it would turn off. It doesnt mean my comuter has a brain like, you know what i mean?”
No, I don’t. Keep explaining. O_o
That had to be the dumbest s### ever. I hope she’s extremely rich, because…
It’s a wrap for Raqi Thunda, Jen the Pen, Winter Ramos, Consequence, Rashidah Ali, Lore’l and Olivia on Love & Hip-Hop, who are being replaced by Amina Buddafly, Peter Gunz, Tara Wallace and Erica Jean.
Tara Wallace is Peter Gunz’s girlfriend and a friend of Rich Dollaz. She’s currently the manager of a club in NYC and has two children with Peter Gunz. Oh and, she wants to be an actress. Speaking of actresses, Erica Jean is also an aspiring actress and she has a son. In the spirit of Olivia, Amina Buddafly is a singer who used to have a group called “Black Buddafly” with her sisters. These days she’s taking a crack at solo stardom.
Same formula, different people. Peter Gunz’s phuckery is probably going to be epic though. I’ll keep my ear to the streets and report back.
Craze, a popular sports supplement that’s sold as giving extreme energy and focus, has been found to contain a potentially harmful stimulant similar to methamphetamine.
A new study published Monday in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis found that the stimulant in Craze isn’t listed on the product’s label, and hasn’t been studied in humans.
“Alarmingly, we have found a drug in a mainstream sports supplement that has never been studied in humans,” says Dr. Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who worked on the study. “The health risk of using supplements adulterated with a drug should not be underestimated.”
The substance, N,alpha-diethylphenylethylamine (N,alpha-DEPEA) was described as a stimulant with effects that are “likely less potent than methamphetamine but greater than ephedrine.” Cohen told USA Today that it’s difficult to gauge the compound’s effects or addictive properties because it hasn’t been studied.
“It might make you feel better or have you more pumped up in your workout, but the risks you might be putting your body under of heart attack and stroke are completely unknown,” Cohen told USA Today.
Reports say Harvard researchers began studying Craze after two athletes who used it last year were banned from international competitions after failing drug tests. Samples from a GNC store and a couple ofwebsites were revealed to contain 21 to 35 milligrams per serving of N,alpha-DEPEA, which is a pharmaceutical-level dose.
It’s crazy how much shady business goes on when it comes to what’s in our food and even supplements. It might be for the best to just keep it simple with a banana, nature’s energy bar, or heck, maybe even coffee.
