Hip-Hop Rumors: Which Child Pop Star Turned Reality Star Got Dropped From Her Record Label?
Word on the street is that this now grown up child star who had some heaters in the 90s along with a TV show, and even collaborated with Mase got dropped from her record label. I’m told that said singer/actress was not included on the label’s 2014 roster and that things just aren’t the same as far as the talent they’re interested in supporting, aka, they’re more about that ratchet.
No word on said pop star’s plans but she did have a good run on reality TV until deciding to focus more on music, motherhood and acting, which has also been lucrative for her. Even if going the indie route doesn’t work out, given the other talent and credentials we know she’ll be fine. She’s definitely not starving for checks at the moment.

Pusha T Shuts Down Gramercy Theatre For Album Release Concert (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) His name is Pusha T and his reputation is grizzly visceral street tales over menacing production. At his Gramercy Theatre show last night (October 7th) in celebration for the release of his debut album My Name Is My Name, Pusha T exemplified every quality that helped him sell out the venue.
Hosted by Hot 97’s Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg, Pusha’s gruff vocal inflections bounced off the acoustics in Gramercy Theatre exceptionally well as he rattled off his fan favorites of his catalogue. Opening the show with the gothic album intro, “King Push”, Pusha treated every song as its own event with certain songs having him dead in the center of the stage (“40 Acres”, “Exodus”) while others exhibited the frantic energy (“Millions”, “Suicide”) that made so many Clipse performances riveting in the past.
Pusha’s self-conscious relationship with his music, as demonstrated by his constant proclamation of having the best rap album of the year, was on full display. After performing his verses from G.O.O.D Music hit posse cuts “Mercy” and “I Dont Like (Remix)” he told the crowd “I feel like I’m getting a bit too commercial” before launching into a few cult favorites (“My God”, “Exodus 23:1”).
Disappointingly, there were few guest appearances in a show that featured Pusha T rap his part from the Kanye West-featured “New God Flow”(which sent the crowd in a frenzy), Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Nosetalgia” and a few others. Fan reaction was consistent but wavered at points as Pusha would go through three songs with little intermission.
Outside the venue, Pusha had people in Hazmat suits hand out fliers. Interestingly enough, another person was also handing out fliers to Drake’s Nothing Was The Same
Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name album release concert proved that the more enthralling solo songs Pusha adds to his catalog the better his shows will be. But, for a debut album and concert release party, Pusha not only delivered but

Hip-Hop Rumors: Whew! Who Got Robbed In Atlanta?
The A3C festival was supposedly a marvelous smash for Hip-Hop. All sorts of goodies all over the beautiful city from what I heard. But…I heard some crazy negative stuff! I heard that the downtown Hilton was poppin’ at both the BET Hip-Hop Awards and the A3C Festival, but it was poppin for all the wrong reasons at A3C. Apparently, there was a rapper staying there and he got robbed at gunpoint by three men that busted in the room. Apparently the poor dude was bound, gagged and then relieved of his possessions. The word on the street is that the assailants got $7,000 in cash money and $20,000 in jewels. I honestly don’t know who this happened to, but as sure as the sky is gray in LA, this happened.
WHO?

Ma$e: Everyone Disrespecting The Legacy of Notorious B.I.G.
(AllHipHop News) While some people may feel like Biggie(and paradoxically also feel like Tupac) Mas$e feels disgusted. Taking to his personal Instagram account, Ma$e took issue with DJ Khaled’s recently released “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie”.
Hours after the song premiered, Ma$e voiced his displeasure with the constant usage of Biggie’s name on songs:
On the song, P. Diddy is featured with Swizz Beatz, Rick Ross, Meek Mill and T.I. Ma$e has had his disagreements with Diddy in the past, post notably running up on Diddy during a 2009 interview on Atlanta’s V103 radio station requesting to be released from his contract after 10 years:
Took me 10 years to get this paper work right here. I had to put this in UPS; I don’t want nothing to spill on it. I don’t even know what I’mma put out now. Oh my goodness. We good…I got my official papers right here from Puff Daddy. It was love. So I guess we don’t have no problems after all. I don’t even know how to take that. I ain’t used to Puff doing good stuff.
Check out the new song “I Feel Like Pac/I Feel Like Biggie” off of DJ Khaled’s upcoming album Suffering From Success below:
Mac Miller Says He Has No Problem Working With Pop Stars
(AllHipHop News) The Hip Hop/Pop crossover has been in full effect this year. From Jay Z and Justin Timberlake’s trio of collabs (“Suit & Tie”, “Holy Grail”, “Murder”) to Miley Cyrus jumping on tracks with Mike Will Made It, Wiz Khalifa, and Juicy J (“23”) to Too $hort and Twista appearing on Lady Gaga’s upcoming ARTPOP album ( “Jewels & Drugs”), rappers are more inclined to work with their pop singing counterparts more than ever. According to Mac Miller it is all part of the fun of making music and reaching a bigger audience.

In a recent interview with Elle, the Watching Movies With The Sound Off creator talks about not catching any flack from his friends for working with Justin Bieber on his “Boyfriend (Remix)” with 2 Chainz and Asher Roth.
“We were just having fun,” said Miller. “The thing about features and doing different stuff is you have to be down to do whatever. And that doesn’t exclude pop music. Personally, I see it as a different genre, a different group of people to impress.”
Miller also has a verse on buzzing pop star Ariana Grande’s Top 10 single “The Way.” A remix of the song features another rapper Fabolous. Grande’s current single “Right There” is a collaboration with G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean.

White Rapper Claims He Was Cut From BET Cyphers Because Of His Image (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) Canadian rapper Corey Charron believes he was unfairly cut from this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards cyphers. Charron told CBC News that he expected to provide a verse to the annual performances after winning 106 and Park’s Freestyle Friday competition but was told by BET via e-mail that the 2013 cyphers were focusing more on “artists that have huge projects that are current.”

Charron claims that he was contractually promised to participate in the cypher as part of his victory on Freestyle Friday. He expressed his race, nationality, and appearance may have played a role in not being selected to perform, but also says he is not alleging the network’s decision was the result of racism.
“I’m a white Canadian [with] kind of like a baby-faced nerdy look to me, and I just really don’t think they thought I was going to win the competition,” said Charron.
In recent Facebook post Charron also added:
B.E.T. Decided to remove me from the cypher this year. 200+ hours of bussing on my own dollar only to have the prize stripped from me. It’s unfortunate that discrimination still exists in 2013. Who cares if I’m a White Canadian? I still managed to beat every American and win a prize we contractually agreed on. I phoned and emailed numerous times since March. After 6 months I got a response saying they already Pre filmed the cyphers and there was nothing that could be done. This isn’t the first time A white Canadian was treated unfairly by the network. Organik won a contest 2 times to be on BET and was never given the shot he earned. Thanks to everyone that reached out to BET on twitter and voiced their opinion. I have a lot of fans that wanted to see my verse on the cypher. Looks like I’m going to have to film it from Canada and put the whole industry on blast…
It should be noted that white rappers Eminem, Yelawolf, and Iggy Azalea have participated in the BET Hip Hop Awards cyphers in past years.

Diddy Says Being #1 On Forbes List Doesn’t Define Him
(AllHipHop News) Entrepreneur and recording artist Sean “Diddy” Combs was recently named the wealthiest and the top earning person in Hip Hop by Forbes magazine. The business-centered publication revealed that Diddy has an estimated net worth of $580 million and earned $50 million in one year topping other rap moguls Jay Z, Dr. Dre, and Nicki Minaj.

In an interview with Forbes, Diddy says he recognizes the value of being an example of upward mobility; going from a low-income family to building an immense fortune, but he adds his wealth is not the most important aspect of who he is.
“I can’t deny how humbling and how proud I am to be from Harlem, New York, to be from the inner-city and be on the Forbes list,” said Diddy. “But it doesn’t define me.”
The Bad Boy Entertainment head said that he defines his success by his ability to help those in need. “Another thing about being number one on the list is that I openly accept the responsibility that comes with that. That economic power gives me the opportunity to give back.”
Diddy’s net worth is likely to jump even higher after his new music channel Revolt officially launches later this month.
