Hip-Hop Rumors: Lil Scrappy SCRAPPING?!, Aaron Hernandez On PCP!
I am hearing that Lil Scrappy is in some sort of trouble again. It seems the “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star was arrested last night at a gas station in East Point. The crazy thing is, he was fighting with one of his boys. The cops were called in and I am hearing that Scrappy has officially violated his probation. Remember, Scrappy had to go to Rehab for WEED, after his pee tested dirty. Now this could be way more serious than just failing a drug test, since the rapper was booked for assault and some other charges. Yesterday, Scrappy kinda dissed his ex, Erica on Twitter yesterday at the same time he shouted out his new boo thang, Bambi Johnson.
Ill never talk down on erica but I'm tellin y'all wuts good for me I give much respect to @AdizBAMBI c## she was their when I was down

AARON HERNANDEZ ON THAT SHERM??
Damnnnn Aaron Hernandez was wildin’ out. Rolling Stone did a deep investigation into Aaron Hernandez, and found out some crazy stuff. They said that the guy has been paranoid the last year, all because he has been smoking weed laced with PCP..aka that SHERM and just that PCP. The drug made him so ‘noid that he carried a gun with him all the time and rolled with some serious gangsters. When he was a kid, his mom cheated on his dad with a violent drug dealer, then after his dad died, she moved the guy in! The Rolling Stone episode is supposed to come out in September.
BANNED INSTAGRAM HASHTAGS
I found this funny. Instagram has banned a bunch of hashtags, some for obvious reasons, others, it’s not so clear. There are some funny ones that they have banned like #curlyheadedf**k and #Classyb**ch, but others I am not so sure. There are some hip-hop related hashtags that didn’t make the cut on Instagram too. #F**kTyler (I think it’s Tyler the Creator, but maybe it’s someone else), #b**chdontkillmyvibes, #bubblebutt and #bigbootyhoes are all banned. Ohh by, the way today is #SexualWednesday.

Miley Cyrus Reportedly On Kanye West's BLKK SKKKN HEAD Remix
“Middle America packed in/Came to see me and my black skin.”
(AllHipHop News) In the matter of 48 hours, Miley Cyrus has twerked on a man in relationship on national television, caused ABC to report on the “science” of twerkign and according to reports, has helped out a Black Skin Head.
According to The Daily News’ Page Six, Miley Cyrus’ reps state that the 20 year old singer bailed on her own MTV Video Music Awards afterparty at No. 8 to head to a “top secret” collaboration. Rumors have been swirling that Miley’s top secret collaborator was none other than Kanye West who was noticeably absent from Jay Z and P. Diddy’s VMA afterparty.
The two reportedly recorded a remix to West’s abrasive rock-rap “BLKKK SKKKN HEAD” off of his latest album, Yeezus.
The remix will reportedly appear on a remix EP from Kanye West which may drop later this year.
The Roots Affiliate Dice Raw Presents "M.I.A. (Mass Incarceration Awareness) Day"
(AllHipHop News) Nearly 75% of the United States prison population is made up of black males (1.5 million people). Philadelphia native and The Roots associate Dice Raw is making an effort to support some of those black men after they have served their time in prison and help prevent other black boys from becoming future inmates by establishing August 29th as “M.I.A. (Mass Incarceration Awareness) Day.”
Dice partnered with Black Male Engagement (BMe) to create the Philly event being held in Mayor Michael N#####’s Reception Room at City Hall. There will be a panel discussion focusing on lessening the overwhelming number of African-American men that are sent to prison each year.
“The purpose of the event is to minimize the negative conversations about Black males and the prison system and to maximize the positive conversations about Black males who were in the prison system and are now dedicating their life in making a difference for the next generation,” read a statement about M.I.A. Day. “Panel organizers hope to help the community stop talking about issues and begin the conversation around existing solutions.”
Panelists confirmed to appear include:
Mike Gross (Master of Ceremony)
Tayyib Smith (Moderator)
Shaka Singhor (Guest Speaker) Author, BMe Detroit Winner, Founder of The Atonement Project
Will Little (Guest Speaker) Poet, and Founder of Poetree N Motion
Dice Raw, Producer/Performer for the Grammy Award-winning Hip-Hop band, The Roots.
Joseph Douglass, Mentor, Employment Coordinator for Impact’s Ex-Offender and Parenting of Services Dept.
Aja Beech, Author & Board Member, Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty
Biz Porter, Marketing Guru & Hip-Hop Historian; Ex-Felon
Reuben Jones, Founder and President of Frontline Dads
KDot, Performing Artist; Ex-Felon
Dice Raw will also screen his documentary Jimmy’s Back: The Men Behind The Music at M.I.A. Day. His upcoming album Jimmy’s Back will feature appearances from several rap artists that have been incarcerated. The project was inspired by Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.

"Twerking" Added To Oxford Dictionary
(AllHipHop News) While the dance now known as “twerking” has been a part of rap music’s vocabulary for years (ie the Ying Yang Twins’ 2000 hit “Whistle While You Twurk,” the ultimate ass shaking anthem Juvenile’s 1999 classic “Back That Thang Up,” and almost every song ever recorded by Luke & 2 Live Crew) it took a former Disney star for twerking to officially go mainstream.
Miley Cyrus’ much talked about VMA performance over the weekend and her viral videos that took over the internet earlier this year have made the pop star the face of “twerking” for Middle America and apparently Great Britain as well. The British Oxford Dictionaries Online has added the term to its database after the word has become more visible on major media outlets and social media over the last 12 months.

The ODO “twerk” entry reads:
twerk (v.): to dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance
“There are many theories about the origin of this word, and since it arose in oral use, we may never know the answer for sure,” said Oxford Dictionary’s Katherine Connor Martin. “We think the most likely theory is that it is an alteration of work, because that word has a history of being used in similar ways, with dancers being encouraged to ‘work it.’ The ‘t’ could be a result of blending with another word such as twist or twitch.”
Twerk will be joined by other new entries like “selfie,” “digital detox,” and “badassery.” While under the same umbrella, Oxford Dictionaries Online is not the same as the more traditional Oxford English Dictionary. The OED is historically based as opposed to modern-day usage.
Chadwick Boseman of "42" To Play James Brown In Biopic
(AllHipHop News) First he played the man who broke professional baseball’s color barrier in 42, and now Chadwick Boseman will star as another legend in a James Brown biopic.

Several actors have been attached to the project in the past including Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes, but it was Boseman that was finally tapped to play Brown, one of the most sampled artists in Hip Hop history.
