(AllHipHop News) Alchemist has been a familiar face in Prodigy’s life for over 13 years, but there was a time when he was cop to him.
In a sit down with Noisey, Prodigy and Alchemist reminisce on their history by revealing lesser known facts about the two such as how Prodigy first thought Alchemist was a cop. “I thought he was a FED,” Prodigy says “I thought ‘they sent the FED in to investigate us.'” Luckily for the 22 year old Alchemist all he had to do was play some beats to convince Prodigy he didn’t have a badge.
In the interview, Alchemist reveals that the late Chris Lighty arranged the first time he DJ’ed for Mobb Deep on the 1999 Family Values Tour. According to Alc, the Queensbridge duo came out on stage in matching orange jumpsuits.

(AllHipHop News) The Yeezus nonbelievers were in full force last night (August 16th) in Dodgers Stadium for the Dodgers vs. The New York Mets. According to ESPN writer Arash Markazi, Kanye West wasa booed by the fans in attendance when he was shown on the jumbotron:

With a smile on his face, Kanye was then relocated to the second row near the Mets dugout while other celebrities in attendance received much warmer ovations:
Robert Horry is at the Dodgers game and gets a loud ovation. Sorry, Kanye.

Robin Thicke is at the Dodgers game too and gets a loud ovation.

It was an ambitious event. The Core DJ’s and MixShow Live, LLC held their fourth installment of the popular MixShow Live ATL last weekend (Aug. 9-11) and like they claimed, this year was “Bigger and Better.”
With appearances by: School Boy Q, Doe B, Rich Homie Quan, Slice 9, Doe B, Verse Simmonds, Ca$h Out, 50 Cent, Meek Mill, Roxanne Shante, MC Sha Rock, Monie Love, Yo Yo, Sweet Tee, Spinderella, Tony Toni Tone, Cameo, Teddy Riley & Black Street and more.
The event had something for everyone.
The only downside was that MixShow Live ATL had SO much to offer that many fans and supporters ended up stuck outside of the W Midtown where the event was held on Saturday because the hotel had reached capacity. Organizers of the event were forced to apologize via Twitter to the dozens of fans, media, and DJ’s who were stuck outside and unable to participate.
But, if being TOO crowded is your only problem, that’s not a bad problem to have.
AllHipHop.com thanks the organizers of MixShow Live ATL, the Core DJ’s, Tony Neal, and Cherrell Rene for including us in their amazing weekend.
Check out the video recap:
(AllHipHop News) Russel Simmons recently celebrated he inception of his new YouTube Channel All Def Digital with some original content: Harriet Tubman’s Sex Diaries.
In the video, Tubman has sex with her white slave master while another slave watches in order to blackmail him for Tubman and the slaves to leave. The video, which has a YouTube warning for adult content before viewing, shows simulation of sex acts in a comedic manner.
All Def Digital‘s head honcho called the video “the funniest thing I’ve ever seen” in a tweet from his personal Twitter account. Simmons deleted his praise for video but once again the age of social media proves its preservation skills:

Simmons removed the video from his channel and issued a statement citing contact from the NAACP along with the public outcry as influential in his decision to remove the video:
In the whole history of Def Comedy Jam, I’ve never taken down a controversial comedian. When my buddies from the NAACP called and asked me to take down the Harriet Tubman video from the All Def Digital YouTube channel and apologize, I agreed.
I’m a very liberal person with thick skin and it’s hard to offend me. My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of actors said in the video, that 162 years later, there’s still tremendous injustice. And Harriet Tubman outwitting the slave master, I thought it was politically correct. Silly me. I guess I’m older now and instead of fighting for one piece of content, I can understand why so many people are upset. I have taken down the video. Lastly, I would never condone violence against women in any form, and for all of those I offended, I am sincerely sorry.

He also posted this on Twitter:

The video was reuploaded by YouTube user Peter Cashing and can be viewed below. This is entirely not safe for work:

Gucci Mane doesn’t say a lot in interviews, but on twitter, he says much more. The other day, he just sends out a random shot at some of the biggest names in rap. The only thing, I’m not sure they heard it. I sure didn’t.
Name your Top 3 P#### ass rappers? Mines? Jeezy Yo gotti & Tip. No brainer. But there are 100s more….Go… #ww3

This is proof I need to care about Twitter a bit more, because one of my followers hit me up days ago and let me know this was happening.
