I heard a bird and the bird told me that Ja Rule is out of jail already, early for good behavior. I don’t know if its true, but he was originally supposed to get out Feb. 21, but I’m hearing he may already be out of the bing, EARLY! But another source, who emailed me earlier in January said he’s getting out two weeks early. This means he’s getting out in roughly a week. Shout out to Ja. Now its time for that comeback!
Its murdddddaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Did 50 Cent get pushed back?
Oddly, 50 Cent is to release his Street King Immortal around the same time Ja Rule was to get released from jail, Feb. 26. But sources are suggesting that the final album that will free 50 Cent from Interscope will pushed back again. Again? With a hit record with Eminem and Adam Levine? I dunno. This could be a sabotage! They just wanna keep him on the label. Chief Keef ain’t selling diamond!
We’ll see.
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
(AllHipHop News) Perspiration levels are not the only thing the new drug of choice amongst rappers are affecting. Now it is kids.
Child Psychiatry specialist, Dr. Dale Peeples claims “35% of popular songs contain drug references” and in one day a child can be exposed to these references roughly 84 times.
Reporter Jillian Benfield of WJBF News Channel 6 in Augusta, GA wrote that she and her photographer heard Molly referenced at least twice on a 30 minute trip to Thomson, GA.
The art director at a Augusta Mini-Theatre, Judith Simon-Butler told the WJBF reporter that kids “hear those lyrics and then some of them try to live those lyrics.”
As a response to this, mini-theater is putting on a play focused on conveying negative music’s effects.
According to Narcotics Sergeant Allan Rollins, Molly-related emergency room visits have increased five fold, since 2004.
Molly (shortened name for “molecule”) is the powder or crystal form of MDMA, which is commonly used in pressed pill Ecstasy.
Molly has been labeled by the DEA as a Schedule 1 controlled substance which has no medicinal usage and can be highly addictive.
Undoubtedly one of the most verbal proponents of the drug have come from hip hop artists.
Here is a list of recent rap references to the drug that have exploded its national appeal:
Lil Wayne
“Cashed Out” (Off Dedication 4 mixtape): “Riding around with a b**ch named Molly and she on Molly”
“Roman Reloaded” (Off Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded): “Pop a Molly, smoke a blunt. That means I’m a high roller.”
2 Chainz
“Molly” (Off Jae Millz’s The Appreciation 4 mixtape): “Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly/still serving the narcotics.”
“I Luv Dem Strippers” (Off Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded): “Got your girl on Molly, we smoking loud and drinking.”
Juicy J
“Get Higher” (Off Blue Dream & Lean mixtape): “Molly got the white girls going straight berserk” “Pop a Molly, drink some orange juice, get higher““I put Molly on the tongue, of any n*gga wifey“
“Juicy J Can’t” (Off Blue Dream & Lean mixtape): “Molly in my veins got my heart beatin’ like a drum“
“Lucky A*s Bit*h” (Off Mac Miller’s Macadelic mixtape): “Molly pills, orange juice got the b*tch wired”
Trinidad James
“All Gold Everything” (off Dont Be S.A.F.E mixtape): “Popped a Molly, I’msweating”
“One More Molly” (off Dont Be S.A.F.E mixtape): “Popped a Molly, she gon’ do/things that you never knew”, “That Molly got her naked/Her friends looking basic”,”I been on Molly since I stepped in”, “That Molly life I’m all about”, “This Molly life is my way.”
Hip-Hop goes and does what Hip-Hop wants. These times are changing and changing fast. These days you have rappers wearing dresses or even lipstick. Maybe oppose, but they don’t go around killing the people! I got a report from out of Milwaukee where they did just that. Killed a transgender rapper! Now, the details are kinda murky. Some claim it was a women, but the murderers are charging they killed a man. I will say this, they are saying that the gender of the person didn’t have anything to do with the death, but I doubt that.
Ebony Young, also known as Evan Young aka Yung LT, came up missing on New Year’s Day and they are now looking for her body in a landfill. If you look at the vid at the end of the page, Yung LT ended up looking a bit different than the picture above.
Apparently, Young was killed as a part of a gang initiation from a young 19-year-old. Here are key parts of the report.
Five men were charged Wednesday in the death of a Milwaukee rapper who went missing on New Year’s Day and turned out to be the victim of a gruesome gang homicide, complaints say.
Investigators were searching for the victim’s body Wednesday at an area landfill.
The missing rapper is identified in the criminal complaint as Ebony Young, a female. The victim had previously been identified as Evon Young, 22, also known as Yung LT, during the public plea for information about his whereabouts.
One of the defendants charged Wednesday told investigators he believed Young was a male, and other witnesses all referred to Young as a male. The charges, in two separate complaints, do not suggest in any way that Young’s transgendered status played any role in the defendants’ motivation for the attack.
According to the complaints:
Young’s roommate, Billy R. Griffin, 26, had initially told police that Young got into a car with someone on Jan. 1 and never returned. But in the complaint, he admits that Stewart, 27, Mcalister, 19, Ron Joseph Allen, 37, and Devin Lattrez Seaberry, 23, members of a street gang, had come to his house and said Young could not be trusted. They told Griffin he would be readmitted to the gang if he killed Young.
Instead, the complaints say, the others took Young to the basement, choked Young with a chain and taped a plastic bag over Young’s head while Mcalister held a gun. After Young passed out, the group beat Young with tools. Griffin said he couldn’t take watching and returned upstairs but later heard the others say they wanted to make sure Young was dead, then three gunshots.
The group later cleaned his basement with bleach, he told police, rolled Young’s body up in a sheet and took it to Stewart’s car, then to a trash bin at 8100 N. 84th St.
When police later went to that scene, they found a chain, some burned clothing and evidence a fire had been set in the garbage container.
Stewart told police that the confrontation at Young’s house began with an argument over whether Young had assisted someone else in burglarizing the residence. Stewart told police that Young eventually admitted that role to Griffin.
Stewart also admitted to police that he tried to get Griffin to kill Young before the group took on the task, and that after the suffocation, strangulation and beating, Mcalister shot Young three times with a .22-caliber handgun.
Crazy. One dude is smiling. Killing somebody is crazy, but killing them like they are accused of doing is just insane.
Here is a Yung LT song called “Room Full.”
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
He’s just returned from an exciting, yet exhausting trip to South Africa. While he enjoyed performing overseas, Pusha is glad to be back in his motherland called Virginia, the rich soil where he was bred and raised. He jumps out of a lush, ebony Benz, and walks into Kincaid’s restraurant in Norfolk with a smile, seemingly knowing something epic lies just over the horizon.
Why wouldn’t he be smiling? Fortune has already favored him. He’s a part of one of the dopest crews from the Kanye West-led G.O.O.D. Music, he’s got bars of fury and a blushing waitress, who should be taking his order, is waiting patiently for his autograph. Then there’s the album and a mixtape on deck too. [Read: All Hail The Caine: Track-By-Track Review of Pusha T’s Wrath of Caine]
His older brother, No Malice, is nowhere in the immediate vicinity, but he still manages to be a focal point of the conversation.
“I know. I know. [No Malice] knows that I know,” Pusha, 35, says between sips of his drink. “He knows that I know that isn’t even right to say. Even to toy with the level of being God. Everything else, but not God. He knows that I know that’s not even right. But its the music business that I’m a part of…”
Pusha really said it. “I believe there’s a God above me / I’m just the god of everything else / I put hoes in everything else / New God Flow, f**k everything else.” Ahhh, such an ill line by Hip-Hop standards, but virtually blasphemy based on Christian standards.
The standard was different once upon a time. As the story has been told, The Thornton brothers – Gene and Terrence – grew up in the streets of Virginia Beach. Urban lore says they ran in the streets and indulged in the illegal hood trappings, which lead to their style of Hip-Hop, often called “coke rap.” As a group they would go on to record three heralded albums (Lord Willin’, Hell Hath No Fury, and ‘Til The Casket Drop, the last being released 2009. They have scars to prove their authenticity, both seen and unseen.
Pusha-T is still in “the world,” as Christians are known to say, and he’s looking to dominate his surroundings. As he should, being that he’s a high-ranking gladiator in the competitive Hip-Hop arena. He won’t be beaten. And, he asserts, can’t be beat. He’s fired cannons at Lil Wayne (“Exodus 23:1“) and defended Kanye’s honor to former friends like Consequence [Read: Pusha-T Disses Consequence].
There is one thing, his big brother is a born again Christian now known as No Malice. And, Mal doesn’t much care about Pusha’s Earthly parts of Hip-Hop.
No Malice speaks slowly and methodically.
“I’m very sensitive when it comes to lyrics about God,” he says in a southern drawl normally reserved for preachers. “But, what I have come to find is…I’m not even worthy to be mentioned in the same sentence as God. God, to me, is not Santa Claus. If I am not giving Him the glory, then I will stay away from even mentioning His name.”
On this particularly rainy December day, the day before Pusha laughs over sacrilegious lyrics, No Malice, 40, seeks refuge in his new studio in Virginia Beach. On the largest wall, there is a crown of thorns being painted that clearly will end up being a huge mural of Jesus. On the adjoining wall, there is the logo of The Clipse’s crew, Re Up Gang, but with a twist. Above the logo it says “Rebirth.”
While his baby bro competes with other so-called warriors, the man once known as Malice of The Clipse, wages another war. He’s fighting Satan on behalf of Christ and he hopes his looming album, Here Ye Him, is a weapon for the cause. And he prays for his brother. Pusha is, at best swimming with sharks, and likely doing the Devil’s tango in the music game. He knows his brother is well adept to such Earthly folly, but he still prays hard.
Saving souls is difficult work, but its quite possibly an easier than maintaining long-running relevance in the rap game.
Can a hardcore Christian and a thoroughbred Virginia D-boy make an album? More importantly, should they?
Chad Horton, who runs the Christian Hip-Hop site rapzilla.com, answers “highly unlikely” and his retort is rooted in Bible scripture.
Horton quotes portions of Ephesians 7-21. “It says, ‘Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
Horton continues, “So it may be possible for No Malice to do another Clipse album with his brother, but would fans want to hear No Malice dropping bars that are contrary to everything that Pusha-T is spitting? Some yes, most no. There can definitely be some guest spots on each others albums or maybe even a final EP, but a whole album of Cain & Abel? That would be a hard sell.”
Ab Liva disagrees. Liva, a Philly-bred lyricist, has known both brothers for over a decade a lead member of the Re-Up Gang. He is also featured on No Malice’s current underground hit “Smoke And Mirrors” and also Pusha’s Wrath of Caine.
“It seems like they are polar opposites now, but when they are together, its cohesive,” Liva says. “People say [Malice] switched up, but if you listen you can hear the references. That dynamic has always been there.”
Despite the perception, both brothers aim to record another album.
“I personally want me and Malice to do a Clipse album,” Pusha says with a very pregnant pause at the restaurant. “I don’t even want people to hear us without us being us.”
Emphasis on “us being us.” But he reference the classic mantra of another Southern duo that has been successful as opposites.
“We’ve seen the dynamics of groups that are on two totally different planes that have been extremely successful. Big Boi, the pimp, and Andre, the conscious one. I’m talking about don’t even rap on topic together. And we’ve watched them become darlings,” Push insists. “I’ll be damned If I can’t do that with my brother.”
No Malice wants to go back to the lab as well, but he hedges on the type of content on a new Clipse excursion.
“The status of The Clipse is, my brother and I are always gonna be brothers. I can tell you right now that the music that I once did, that you know me for, Clipse and The Re-Up Gang, content-wise, you will never see that again. From me,” he says frankly.
“I’m not going to promote or push forward anything that is detrimental to any one’s life. If its something that’s for the betterment of a young child listening, or any adult that’s acting like a child…If it leads to death, then I can’t do it.” ”
He repeats: “If it leads to death, then I can’t do it.”
Still, Mal previews songs rom his upcoming solo album that feature his brother. At the time of this writing Pusha had not laid down his verse.
The older Thornton, a father who has been married for over 20 years, insists their differences have always been an asset.
“[The contrast] has always been the dichotomy of The Clipse,” Mal says authoritatively. “He’s come from an angle, I’ve come from a different angle. Together, that makes The Clipse. I’ve very excited myself to see what we come up with. And its going to be all the way right.”
On the other side, Pusha is shoring up the industry heavies to get the project right in a different way.
“I want to do a whole album with my brother, because I already see the movie. This is something I’ve talked about with ‘Ye (Kanye West), I’ve talked about it with Pharrell…man this is gonna be so crazy,” he promising, getting visibly excited. “I want to title it “As God As My Witness.” People say, ‘I see Malice and he’s on his spiritual way.’ And I’m like ‘I’ve seen Malice and he’s been spiritual for so long, y’all. What’s wrong?’ Was y’all not listening? He writes too well. We ain’t ignorant rap. We ain’t never been ignorant rap – especially not him. I don’t think [No Malice’s being saved] affects the music at all.'”
There’s no way it won’t affect the music, all respect to Pusha’s reasoning, but it may affect it in a way that will improve upon The Brothers Thornton. One of the main criticisms of the group was that they always and primarily talk about cocaine. The infusion of spirituality free the pair of this notion and also opens the the possibilities content-wise.
Mal thinks the best is yet to come, especially from Pusha.
“My brother knows how I feel about this music. I’ve always known him to be exceptionally talented,” the 40-year-old asserts. “When he starts to operate in his gift, that’s when I am really going to get excited.”
Pusha and No Malice are not Cain and Able, despite the urge to make the obvious deep religious connection. Maybe Caine and Is Able, but not the sordid tale of brother killing brother. They have genuine love for each other and its real as the topics they respectively rap about.
“You know, my brother prays for me every day. He got me,” Push says looking upward. “He got me.”
(AllHipHop News) Recently Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose stopped by Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Power 106 in Los Angeles to talk about a host of topics including Amber’s music and their decision to have a natural child-birth at home.
“It consists of her being in a whole lot of pain, with no medicine, she’s gonna thug it out. We gonna have a midwife and a doula at the crib and she’s gonna be in a pool and its gonna be like a relaxing environment and when she’s ready she’s gonna tell me when to stick my hands down there and I’m gonna pull the baby out,” Wiz told Big Boy and Rikki Martinez on Power 106’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood.
After seeing a Ricki Lake documentary on child-birth,The Business of Being Born, Amber and Wiz decided that natural child-birth at the house was the way to go.
“He doesn’t like hospitals, I don’t like hospitals, we feel like that like that’s the place the people go when then die and I’m not sick. I feel like from the beginning of time women squatted and had their babies and that exactly what I want to do. I just want to go full throttle, I don’t want no medication,” Amber Rose explained. “We take home birthing classes to teach us how to do it, and we’re gonna have our midwife and when the baby’s head comes out he’s gonna be Dr. Wiz. He’s gonna be the first person to touch the child. No doctors, no gloves”
“It’s cool to learn about and then like learn about how important that connection is. I’m excited, I’m ready. I’m mean I’m nervous too, but its a good nervous, it not like a confused nervous like, “What do I do?” Wiz said.
As for Amber’s music, while the two have collaborated on music in the past, Amber says she will likely make some music soon, but isn’t sure if she will have time given the demands of having her first child.
“I don’t know what its like to be a mom. I don’t know if I have it in me to juggle that with a new-born, We’ll see, I have fun with him, it’s a blast, he always lets me go in and experiment.”
Rick Ross is putting out more music than a h##### puts out cooch. But, the BAWSE recently suggested he’s going to put out a new BOOK instead of a new ALBUM. Wow. WTH! Dude just got nominated for a Grammy and has a good chance of winning. I can’t see him slowing up now.
Would you read a book on Rick Ross’ life?
