(AllHipHop News) Parents of students at Pittsburgh’s Carrick High School were outraged when a day was planned to honor the memory of Trayvon Martin yesterday (October 9th).

As apart of the school’s Homecoming week, the school and homecoming committee voted and approved of the day which would encourage students to wear hoodies. Some parents, such as Jennifer Kagle who is afraid of the backlash of wearing the hoodie from students who feel adverse to celebrating Trayvon Martin’s life. “I am a little worried about that with the different people, how they’re going to react,” she told CBS Pittsburgh.

Due to the complaints from parents and even school advisors at Carrick High School, the school changed the day’s theme from hoodies and celebrating Trayvon Martin to Bucco Hat Day. “So we just used Bucco Day to put everybody together, put everybody as a whole,” said Homecoming Committee member Javon Jordan

Just GREAT.

It looks like the reality show bug has bitten Benzino so badly that he’s going to be called Zion soon. I don’t know what that means, but that just is what it is. The latest is that Benzino is going to be STARRING in his own reality show called “Sucker For Love.” Now, the details on this show are next to none, but apparently it will be some kind of new version of “Flavor of Love.”

YEAHHHHHH BOYEEEEEEEEE!

Soon he’s going to be looking for women to co-star with him. Zino crunshin’ these chick like whaaaaaaaaaaaa! LOL!

And to think, at one point the Feds were looking for Zino for all sorts of crimes. I’m personally glad he’s cleaned up!

(AllHipHop News) Tavache “Trife” Kizer becomes the latest rapper to be killed in Chicago. The 38-year-old father and husband was murdered in South Dorchester on Monday afternoon. Kizer was shot in the head while getting his car repaired by an alley mechanic.

Police suspect that Kizer was not the intended target of the shooting. His killing comes just weeks after teenage rapper Leonard “L’A Capone” Anderson was killed near a recording studio in the city.

Trife had recently shot a video for the song “Respect The Youth”. He had been working on the final edits to the visuals with his brother Larry “Shaciaren” Kizer before he was killed.

“He wanted to show the true pain of the violence. He wanted it to be a tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, Trayvon Martin and the kids at Sandy Hook,” said Shaciaren about his brother’s vision for the video. “It was ironic that the last thing he wanted in that video were scenes of emptiness — empty playgrounds, basketball courts, swings and school hallways. Now, he has become a victim of the violence.”

No arrests have been made in the case.

Happy Takeover Thursday! Welcome to the day that you realize that you were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it fearlessly! Today’s Daily Word is dedicated to honoring your calling! Imagine if your stove didn’t heat up, or your faucet didn’t give out water! What if your light bulb didn’t light up, or refrigerator didn’t refrigerate your food! Without even going further I know you already catch my drift and while it may seem ridiculous that I am comparing your life’s purpose to household appliances, I pray that you remove the ego and take heed to the true message! The fact of the matter is that everyone and everything serves a purpose… But what good is that person or thing if it isn’t functioning at its highest self! Stop making excuses and stop allowing the noise of the outside world move you away from doing what you ought to be doing! Honor your calling! The only reason you are not living the life of your dreams is because you keep listening to everything but yourself! Follow your intuition and let it guide you were it will! You were born to be great so by all means take what you deserve!

-Robert Fritz

“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”
-Steve Prefontaine

“You have to do stuff that average people don’t understand, because those are the only good things.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Meek Mill Get Robbed At During A3C?

“N!99ga try to snatch my chain, that’s a death wish.”

– Meek Mill on the “Pound Cake Freestyle”

From what I heard, the streets are on FIRE in Atlanta. They are saying that Meek Mill got robbed surrounding the events called The A3C festival. A3C was dope and honestly, there were next to no reports of anything crazy happened. Then THIS leaked:

RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Whew! Who Got Robbed In Atlanta?

So, at the time, nobody knew what was going on or, more significantly who got robbed. BUT, as the streets heard about the wealth of the person robbed, the streets got to talking. Suddenly, I am getting rumors that Meek Mill was the one that was robbed down at the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta. BUT, there was some confusion.

RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Jim Jones And Meek Mill Go At Each Other On Twitter

It seems that one of Meek’s dudes, somebody named Louie V Gutta (Dream Chasers artist) was robbed at a Waffle House and people are confusing the two situations. I don’t know these guys like that. This is what was told to me, but I see there are written reports to support the rumors of this. Somebody posted the following video.

SO, long story shorts, I don’t believe Meek Mill was robbed in the A at all. In fact, the person that did get robbed still remains nameless.
