No to worry, Jay-Z recently released the lyrics of another song off his new album entitled “Heaven”. He speaks on religion’s divisive qualities, compares himself to Michael (pick one..Jackson, Tyson, Jordan) and more.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Eminem And Kendrick Lamar Record A Classic?

When I saw that Eminem and Kendrick Lamar had a meeting….I knew it was on! But, in an interview with MTV, the 25-year Kendrick said that he kicked it will the living legend “as a fan.” But we know better. Eminem is such a recluse that I considered this album he’s working on to be a comeback of sorts. And that’s a crazy thing to say. But in the era of twitter and vine and endless exposure, it sure feels that way.

So, there is no way that Eminem and Kendrick will not do a song together. Last foray, Em was doing joints with Drake and B.O.B. Why not!?! It will happen and it will be an epic lyrical treat for all!

Here is that vid:

George Zimmerman’s Attorney Begins Murder Trial With Knock-Knock Joke (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) The theatrics in Law & Order, including surprise witnesses and movie quality opening statements, usually do not happen in actual court cases. Unless you’re George Zimmerman’s attorney, Don West.

In the most publicized trial of the year, Don West informed the jury “you have to laugh to keep from crying” before trying to make light of the arduous selection process the jury went through”:

“Knock-knock.”

“Who’s there?”

“George Zimmerman.”

“George Zimmerman, who?”

“Alright good. You’re on the jury.”

No one laughed.

Pusha T and No Malice Say They Are On Two Different Musical Paths

(AllHipHop News) Over the last decade Pusha T and No Malice have released three official studio albums and numerous mixtapes as the group Clipse. For the first time, both rappers are planning to drop solo albums next month. While the brothers say they are still close personally, they acknowledge that their individual music is heading in different directions.

[ALSO READ: The ReChristening of The Clipse: A Tale Of Two Brothers]

“We’ve always supported each other in everything that we’ve done. Right now, we’re doing two different things,” No Malice tells Vibe magazine.

Pusha and No Malice appear as the cover feature on Vibe’s latest digital release. In the rare joint interview, the Virginia emcees address rumors of brotherly beef, the future of the Re-up Gang, and whether they feel like the fans deserve another Clipse album.

On Rumors of beef between the two:

No Malice: I don’t even get where a beef would come from, or how that was perceived in anyone’s minds. There could never be beef.

On the Re-Up Gang:

Pusha T: I don’t really know. I mean, Re-Up was born from the Clipse, so without us recording together, I don’t see Re-Up gang as a whole recording together. Everybody as their own respective entity is going to carry on the same criteria to be under the name. It’s one thing at a time.

No Malice: The kind of rappers I like come from the Re-Up Gang. One thing you can count on from the Re-Up Gang is the realness. We come from an era where you had to really be living the life that you were rapping about. Even though my content and Pusha’s content is different now, everything we’re saying is still true. To me, that’s the hip-hop that I enjoy.

On creating another Clipse album for their fans:

No Malice: I can answer that easily. I don’t feel like I owe anyone anything. And whatever I’ve given to the fans that supported us, I appreciate all the support. I really do… Even with the Clipse albums, it wasn’t that I owed the fans, it was just me showing my art with them, and I would love to that again sometime. Be clear though, I love the fans.

Pusha T: I don’t owe nobody nothing. This game is horrible.

Pusha is scheduled to release his debut solo album, My Name Is My Name, under Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint July 16th. No Malice is set to release his solo LP, Hear Ye Him, July 2nd.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Havoc Naked Pic Scandal!

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I got a tweet earlier and I didn’t know what dude was talking about.

 

NOW I DO! SHOUT OUT TO DARK PROFITS WHO I HIT WITH THE ALL CAPS!

Havoc has terrible luck with his cell phone. Apparently, his phone was hacked and on it, he had a bunch of d**k pics. The person seems to have started to distribute the images over the net. Luckily, I have not seen it. I’m definitely shook ones about that. The culprit apparently took control of Hav’s Twitter for a short period saying, “”Don’t be the next contestant on that summer jam screen!” The tweet was later deleted. Some folks have theorized that the images are not actually Hav but the perp that uploaded them in the first place and he said they were his. Either way, I don’t wanna see y’all cats bozaks!

Hoping Hav….gets his tech game tight.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Will Tupac Finally Make It To Broadway?

We have been waiting for this and a feature film on Pac for the longest. While, I prefer the movie, I guess this will suffice.

NEW YORK — A developmental workshop is underway in New York City for Holler If Ya Hear Me, a new musical inspired by the work of Tupac Shakur, which is being targeted for Broadway.

The show will be directed by Kenny Leon, known for his Broadway work on plays including A Raisin in the Sun with Sean Combs; Fences, with Denzel Washington and Viola Davis; and The Mountaintop, with Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett.

While no firm dates have been set for the long-gestating project, producers are aiming to premiere during the 2013-14 Broadway season.

A non-biographical original story, the show is set in the present day, on the inner-city streets of a Midwestern industrial city, chronicling the challenges faced by two childhood friends and their extended families. The story is inspired by and unfolds to the music of Shakur, the influential rapper who died in 1996 and has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide.

The musical has a book by Todd Kriedler and choreography by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento (Wicked, The Who’s Tommy). The design team includes David Gallo (sets), Reggie Ray (costumes) and Mike Baldassari (lighting). Music supervision is by Daryl Waters, a veteran of such musicals as Bring in ‘Da Noise, Bring in ‘Da Funk, The Color Purple and Memphis.

Lead producers on the project are the late music superstar’s mother, Afeni Shakur, as well as Eric L. Gold, Chunsoo Shin and Jessica Green.
