Hip-Hop Rumors: Did 40 Glocc Beat Up The Game’s Manager?
I think 40 Glocc is a happy camper right about now.
Oh nooooooooooo! It looks like, despite a pending law suit, 40 Glocc has taken to the offensive with The Game and his people! Word on the street is that The Game’s manager Taydoe was KO’d out in Vegas, per VladTV! Here is what they are saying about it!
The fight between Game and 40 Glocc has continued, with Game’s manager Taydoe being the latest casualty. VladTV was exclusively told by a witness that 40 Glocc knocked out Taydoe in Las Vegas at the Hilton Hotel around 10pm on Saturday night. Taydoe was with his girlfriend when the altercation happened.
Game and the gang are out there in Vegas. I thought it was sweet with the law suit going on.
Translation: “On my momma” is confirmation that he is definite telling the truth. “On my momma” is actually more significant than “hand on the Bible” to some.
This is TayDoe. Talk to us, bro. Who next? The Publicist? 40 Glocc has vowed to knock out the whole entire Black Wall Street crew until there is no one left.
Still, at the end of the day, I want to see 40 GLOCC and THE GAME fight! I would pay $10 to see that. Get at me and I will make a ppv happen. Til, then…this is seared in my brain.

Soulja Boy and Lil’ Scrappy Take Beef to Twitter
(AllHipHop News) Although Soulja Boy and Lil’ Scrappy share a common bond of having dated former Crime Mobb rapper Diamond, there was nothing in common today (December 30th), when two took to Twitter to express their differences.
While some have already written off this disagreement as issues surrounding Diamond, Lil’ Scrappy has tried to make it clear that this is not about Diamond, despite Soulja Boy’s claims via Twitter that suggest otherwise.
Over the past few years, Scrappy has gained a great deal of attention via VH1’s Television show “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,” where his life was highly publicized and documented as his girlfriend Erica Dixon and mother, a former hustler known as “Momma Dee” were both featured on the show.
Soulja Boy, best known for his hit song”Crank That,” which was certified platinum four times by the RIAA, has recently stated that he is no longer dating Diamond.
Here are their respective Twitter threads below:

Hip-Hop Rumors: Mike Tyson And LL Cool J: What Caused The Beef?
I was perusing the Ill Community and I saw this crazy video posted by Water Ur Seeds. The video is crazy. It has Mike Tyson, LL Cool J, Flavor Flav, Eric B, Grand Master Dee, Mr. Magic (RIP) and some others in a video that really takes you back. Even if you weren’t around at that time, this video will probably make you feel strange about what Hip-Hop has become.
But, those of us that know, know there is something else going on. It was a time when Mike and LL were really good friends.
So, in the video LL and Mike Tyson are in there as friends. LL repeatedly quotes his old line “I’m like Tyson, Icin’ / I’m a solider at war.” This is no great mystery. But lets talk about it. After time passed, LL and Tyson grew apart. Moreover, a younger crop of Hip-Hop champs started to emerge. One of them was Canibus. Cani and LL got into a feud that was pretty epic, all in all. Remember how LL sneak dissed Canibus on this song:
Basically LL didn’t appreciate Cani wanting to get the same tattoo that he wanted: A microphone on the arm.
Eventually, Canibus got even more Stanish with “Rip The Jacker,” which was a play on LL’s alter ego Jack The Ripper.
The beef bubbled over. Canibus sneak recorded LL, exposing the rap god as very fearful of an all out battle. He told Cani to chill. But, Canibus couldn’t chill. He felt disrespected and wanted to kill a legend. He got another legend to help him do it. He got Mike Tyson, LL’s old friend, and they proceeded to go at LL. The crazy thing was in the video Mike is actually TRAINING Canibus to fight. And….here is “2nd Round KO.”
This remains to be one of the greatest disses of all time. Kinda makes Meek Mill’s Cassidy diss look silly, doesn’t it?
Canibus had one major problem. His debut album. It flopped and it sucked. LL swooped in for the kill with a song that was largely forgettable. But timing is everything.
It was actually and he killed him with “99% of his fans don’t exist.” He also dissed Mike Tyson as a “convicted rapist” and a “ear biter.” So… that was a the complete end of their friendship. LL bodied cats on that. There was some more back and forth but this was it. LL’s legend remained intake. Canibus continued to flounder, but maintained loyal minions. Til this:
LL said, “Solider n***a thought I told ya n***a/ cross over slam dunk, game over n***a!” That was a Class A sonning now that I listen to it again…it totally holds up.
Mike Tyson didn’t fare much better as boxer, but did comeback in a major way recently. I’m sure this beef is long dead, but I have to thank Water Ur Seeds for the flashback! This was actually fun to write and reminisce on.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Chief Keef About To Get Dropped? And Why The Tour Was Cancelled!
Welp! It looks like Chief Keef’s 15 minutes may be winding down! According to a recent interview with 50 Cent, he revealed that the young buck (no pun intended) would possibly get dropped because of low sales. Chief sold like 50k his first week, which is well…weak. Anyway, 50 talked to HipHopMorning and he dropped some dimes. Remember when Keef skipped the video shoot with 50 Cent?
RELATED: Hip-Hop Rumors: Chief Keef Leaves 50 Cent And Wiz Khalifa Hanging
BAD IDEA!
The brass at Interscope didn’t like that, says 50 Cent in the interview. And, he also revealed the real reason Keef’s tour was deaded. It wasn’t what I thought when I rumored that it was due to legal matters. I’m still not positive there isn’t something to the probation violation though. We’ll see.
So, the latest rumor is that they are going to drop Keef. Personally, I cannot see them doing that. I think they are going to do a better job at promoting him or something. As long as he’s being….controversial…I think they are going to keep him.

Oddly, his album is called Finally Rich. C’mon Interscope. Have a heart. Say no to irony.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Meek Mill Hanging Out With Cassidy’s Mom?
I hope this beef doesn’t somehow degrade into the muck of super ugly. You know, that level where somebody has to say sorry or something? I mean, let me tell you, my sources in Philly tell me it is HOT out there. Its not just Meek and Cass…the town is just HOT. The beefs are running rampant and seem to be out of control in the City of (Presumed) Brotherly Love. Ain’t no sunshine when Beanie’s gone.
RELATED: POLL: DID MEEK GO IN AND KILL CASSIDY’S CAREER?
Anyway, Meek Mill may be taking things to another level on these social networks. The other day he posted a picture of himself and Cassidy’s mother! First of all, shouldn’t she be watching Oprah or something? Or maybe knitting? I guess not. Now, I am going to assume that this is an old pic that Meek dug up to get under Cass’ skin but you never know! Even if it IS old, I think its a bad karma move to start putting parents and kids in the beef under any circumstances.
Here is the pic!
I need to recharge my battery!
Oh yeah – CHUBBY JAG, CASSIDY’S HOMEY, released this new diss.
