Ice-T Talks Stupid Rappers, Kanye West, Hip-Hop 50 & Why You Can’t Get Over On CarShield!

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Exclusives

Ice-T is on the move. The multi-hyphenate has signed on to clone his voice for a myriad of reasons, bought a studio with Treach of Naughty By Nature, a weed dispensary and more. All of the opportunities Ice has been blessed with are a result of his status within Hip-Hop, a cultural force that turns 50 years.

Ice-T, an elder statesman of the culture, talks to Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur about a bunch of stuff, including stupid rappers.

AllHipHop: What are your thoughts on the state of the culture turning 50 and how should we look forward? We’re in a crazy space right now with Hip-Hop. I mean, I’m always thinking about the next 50.

Ice-T: Yeah. I feel good about it right now. I really feel good about it. I think that Hip-Hop, any other culture had to go through its growing pains and my thing is, Hip-Hop has gray hair. You can meet a cat walking down the street with a cane and you say Hip-Hop. He’ll say, “Man, I used to break dance.” You know what I’m saying? “You don’t know me. I’m from such and such.” So, it’s beautiful because we know Hip-Hop is the fountain of youth. We know that if you ever was involved in it, if you had Adidas on when Run DMC had Adidas on, you have not grown up. And when the music comes on, you feel like you’re still that age. And that’s the problem I think with our generation gap, is that our generation refuses. We just say f### it.

We believe we’re cooler than the kids. We just won’t let them be cool. “We cooler than you. You don’t know nothing,” but we got to let them be kids and stuff. And I’ve made my comments about Hip-Hop. I mean, I thought at one point it was getting diluted when we were doing the ringtone stuff, but I think lyrics are coming back. All we want really to do is hear you rap, just rhyme. Just show some skill. That’s it.

The key to Hip-Hop is Hip-Hop requires skill. The skill of a great DJ, the skill of a great graffiti writer, the skill of a B Boy, the skill of an MC, and if you didn’t have skill. They had a word in Hip-Hop was perfect. It’s called wack. You wack. Now wack didn’t means stop rapping. It meant get better. Now you wack. Everyone starts off wack, then you get better till you make it to dope. Well, that’s all we want. The old head, oh yo, yo. You don’t like the new cats. No, we don’t like wack m############. You know what I’m saying? We want to hear skill and when we hear skill, whether it’s Kendrick Lamar, whether it’s J. Cole, whether it’s some of these new MCs out here with bars, whether it’s the battle rappers. You can’t front on them. You can’t front. No, I went to a show the other night and I seen Big Sean perform. He performed up in Apollo, he tore s### up.

AllHipHop: Yeah. Big Sean is dope.

Ice-T: All rappers have a different skill. I listen to somebody like the Migos, they could rap. They’re rapping their ass off. They got own style, but they rapping. So, when rappers getting p#####, I’m like… I don’t know. I’m never ever going to say another rapper’s name again. You know what? I learned the lesson, only get smoke where you really want it and I don’t really need it. And it doesn’t do anything for me to say it. But some rappers they’re bullshitting, and everybody knows they’re bullshitting and it’s like, “Come on, man. Come on.” That’s all I’m saying. You pick who I’m talking about.

AllHipHop: But the other thing is right now we have a lot of artists that are getting signed not based on the skills at all. It’s usually based on how many followers they got, how many beefs they have, how many cases they have, maybe even how many bodies they’ve caught.

Ice-T: Well, you can get signed. The question is, will you have a career? And the kids probably don’t know who Frank Sinatra is, but he said it’s not how well you’re doing, it’s how long you’re doing well. And from the streets, I’ve known hustlers that had it all for 10 years and it’s over.

Here’s another thing, the fans are just as fickle as the b####### you’re pushing. They’ll bail on your ass quick. So, you have to just be consistent with your work and at the end of the day, money finds its rightful owner. I can give you $20 million in your 30s and never touch another dollar again. So, you have to learn how to get money in your 20s, in your 30s, in your 40s, in your 50s…

AllHipHop: Do you think the industry wants that? I mean, we touched on it on Twitter. Jay-Z is a force. You’re a force. Diddy’s a force. Nas is a force. Lil’ Kim is a force. You know what I mean? Mary J Blige is a force. Having that command of money. I felt like, almost, the industry wants this revolving door because they don’t have to negotiate. You might come around. You might have a hot single, you might even unfortunately die or something and they can just easily bring you back in. If you passed, or if Nas passed, or if Jay passed. They’re not replaceable.

Ice-T: The industry, Chuck, no that doesn’t give a [damn] about you. I mean, we already know record labels get loan companies that loan you money at a ridiculous rate that could never even actually be repaid. They sign you a seven-year contract, but now people are doing it without the record label. I work with an artist, RJ Payne, who’s got its own thing. I work with people like Roc Marciano who do their own thing. There’s ways around the record label, but at the end of the day, you’re going to have to create a quality catalog.

Ice Cube can go out and sell out arenas. Snoop can sell out arenas. You’re going to have to create that quality catalog that’s going to last. It’s going to be worth something. I mean, I heard Lil Wayne sold his rights to his music for a hundred million. If you create a real solid base of music, it is valuable. And then, also if you take advantage of the new options that open to you after you become a successful rapper. All right let’s start it off. You in the street, you hustle. What options are there for you?

Look at 50 Cent. 50 Cent right now is a top television producer. Television and still selling out concerts worldwide. I don’t know if you’ve been looking at some of the shots, he’s been showing from him in Europe, but he’s not having a problem over there. But why? Because 50 has an intense catalog of music. He’s been hitting them for 20 years with good s### and people want to hear it.

AllHipHop: Yeah, I was in Europe, and he had just left but it was still buzzing. They said the tickets were a little pricey for some of them, but he filled it up. Yeah.

Ice-T: But that’s because 50 has paid his dues. He’s put in his work, and he saturated the market. Whether it was G-Unit stuff, his stuff, he had his clothing line. There’s certain people, when you look at Puffy or you look at Snoop to me. Snoop and me, that’s the bar. I’m watching Snoop. Snoop will pop out with some m############ soap he’s selling tomorrow. He’s selling cereal, he was selling pancakes, masterpiece. Selling all this kind of stuff because what you’re doing is you’re maximizing your brand. Now you have this brand, take advantage of it.

AllHipHop: Absolutely. And you have been doing that real successfully. You’re doing Cheerios.

Ice-T: Yeah, Cheerios.

AllHipHop: Cheerios, Fitness, yoga. You’re standing on your head.

Ice-T: How the f###, your bro Cop Killer doing Cheerios, man? But see, this is what happened, Chuck, the guards have changed. The people that were scared of Hip-Hop now are gone. There’s a new guard in and he’s 48 years old, and he is a CEO of a company, and he is a Hip-Hop fan.

So, he’s looking at it like, “I ain’t scared of y’all.” How the did Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and them do the Super Bowl? These are all so-called worse. When I mean worse, I mean best but the worst rappers. These m############ were the most hated. Snoop’s crip walking on the f###### Super Bowl. They got kids crip walking. You got 50 Cent, gangster. You got Eminem, who tried to just scare the s### out of white people. You got at the Super Bowl because the guards have changed and the new people in power embrace Hip-Hop . They’re not afraid of it. They understand it and they f### with us and when I’m doing a Tide commercial or whether I’m doing Boost Mobile, or whatever I’m doing, they get it because I speak to the culture. I speak to the parents. I’m like the parents’ hero.

AllHipHop: Yeah, facts. And CarShield, let’s not forget, CarShield. My old car, man, I had a rough spot in life, but my mileage was too high. I was like, “Dang, I can’t get CarShield.”

Ice-T: CarShield’s just an insurance company. That’s all they are. And they got at me and I’m like sure. So, I got some buckets, I put CarShield on and then my boy just called me today, one of my partners from LA talking about this engine went down. I said, “N####, I told you to get CarShield. Why you didn’t get CarShield?” And then, a lot of people get at me, “Oh, CarShield’s a scam. I’m like, “No, you’re a scam.” What you did, your car was already broke. You tried to get some CarShield and they wouldn’t fix your s###. CarShield is an insurance company and insurance companies have investigators and they’re going to double check and make sure it’s legit. So, if you’re going to try to scam an insurance company, pay for it for six months before you try to make a claim.

AllHipHop: Definitely. I want to ask you about the guy [Kanye West] I’ve ignored for about three years now. Cannot ignore him anymore and I wanted to ask it because you have a unique perspective from when you in the “Cop Killer” days when you and others were being shouted out by the presidents and things of that nature and now it seems like Kanye West [is] unavoidable. Now, I remember when Obama called him “jackass” and I felt like that was…and that’s not for me to slander Kanye at all, but it was a long time ago when he said that. And I just wanted to know, do you have any insight on… We’ve talked a lot about mental health, but we don’t really talk about the lights, the celebrity, what that might do to somebody, their brain. I mean is there any opinion you have on that?

Ice-T: I don’t really have any opinion and I don’t want to be somebody trying to slander somebody, that’s not fly. Right now, people want just come out and say s###. I mean, whatever my view, I like to keep that in private. It’s not gangster to come out and talk about somebody like that. I could just say that certain people. Well, if you want to use Kanye and do a lot of things I wouldn’t do. Say a lot of things I wouldn’t say but at the end of the day you have freedom of speech. You just have to watch what you say. So, when you say something, you have to be prepared for the ramifications of what you say and apparently he is.

So, if this is how you feel, I always told people controversy. Don’t say nothing that you don’t mean. If you don’t mean it then you’re not going to be ready to back that s### up when they ask you about it. So, don’t just say something radical just to get the likes. When they push you in the corner, if they say, “Well, Ice-T, why you call them a b####?” I’m going to say because she was a b#### and I’m going to tell you why. I’m not talking about your mother. I’m not talking about your sister. I mean not talking about you. I’m talking about this b#### right here. You’re a girl, you got a friend who’s a b####, you got a friend a ho too.

See? So, I’m going to be able to back up what I’m saying. So, my thing is that if you choose to speak out, just be prepared for the ramifications. I’ll just leave it at that.

I can’t even take it to mental health and all that kind of stuff because how do you know that this is not exactly what they want to do?

AllHipHop: I mean I’ve questioned that myself. I’ve not been very loud about it but I’ve met Kanye a number of times and I think he’s more or less consistent. I don’t see much difference now than 20 years ago. Honestly, that’s my viewpoint.

Ice-T: If you ask the n#### about Ice-T, I would prefer for him to say me and ice just move different and just leave it at that. You know what I’m saying? I’m not going to come out and that’s corny because that creates beef and now, you’re talking about and who needs that man? So, that brother’s going to say what he wants to say and do what he wants to do and let the chips fall where they met.

AllHipHop: Things have changed, obviously, you’ve been vocal about Pac and some of his affiliations – mixing energy – let’s just leave it there, mixing energy. And I feel like we’re in a weird space right now where some kids will openly say, “I’m going to snitch.” Some will snitch on themselves on Instagram or something like that. What do you think is the state of the game right now in that regard? Where whereby big homies or OGs are now 21 or 30 is old. It just seems like the kids don’t have that street sense that-

Ice-T: I’ll break it down like this for on some street s###. Anything illegal’s supposed to be a secret. Period. If you don’t want to snitch, don’t break the law. There’s no way they can force you to snitch if you haven’t broken the law when you snitch and it’s because they have something over your head that they can leverage against you to try to get a lighter sentence. So, if you never break the law, you can never be forced to snitch. Stay off the f###### internet. The internet is the number one tool of law enforcement. Let me repeat that. The number one tool of law enforcement, you don’t have to do any research for you. They Google your ass. I watch cats on the internet and I’m like, “Word.” So, there you go. Anything that’s illegal is supposed to remain a secret. You don’t tell about it. You don’t talk about it. You don’t tell your girl about it. You don’t pillow talk about it. You don’t promote it. Soon as you walk out the house and tell everybody you a drug dealer, you done f### up.

Okay. Anything you put on the internet never leaves the internet. It can be used in court and if you don’t want to have to worry about snitching, don’t break the law. But once you get in the game, you asking for it. The thing of it is, Chuck, I think a lot of people, kids, they get in it. I remember my son. My son was selling weed and he had a kid with him that was selling weed. A white kid. And I met the kid and I told Ice, that kid ain’t cut for it. That kid just wants the clothes, the shoes, and s###. He likes the theory of being a little hustler. He likes the theory but when it gets tough, he ain’t cut for it. Sure enough. Soon as the cops grab him, he’s singing like Gladys Night & the Pips. “Holy, wait a minute, my mama…”

Now, I’m not that guy. If you want to listen to OG, do your best to get out of the game as soon as possible. Stop breaking the law. You see the drama that’s happening in a lot of these rappers who have been able to become successful but still bow-legged, got one foot in the game and one foot out of the game. You got to let that go man because, once you make it, you are a trophy to them. They could bust me for something right now that would be a trophy. All these years I’ve been on Law & Order: SVU, right now, if you come around me and you say anything that’s slightly illegal and I believe you. The police. I’m like, “No, man, what the f### are you talking, man? Cut.” I don’t jaywalk because not only have I made my departure from the street.

I know they want to bust me for something, to catch me, to prove n##### can’t change. You know what I’m saying? And I’m helping as many of my friends that are incarcerated. So, to the youngsters, man, do what you can do to get out. Look at 50 Cent. 50 cent was grimy. Look at Jay. Look at me. Look at anybody else and follow that lead. Follow that lead. It hurts me when I see the young kids getting shot at. Come on, man. I just did a movie. A doc, I’m going to promote when it starts to come out, which is about gun violence and all that kind of stuff and got to bring it down.

AllHipHop: I talked to LL, by the way, and it was a great moment, man. It was brief, because it was at the Rock The Bells Festival, but it was all for the culture. And that felt good, man. It wasn’t competitive. It wasn’t like, “What are you doing here?” It was very much about this culture, and he seems to be super passionate about that.

Ice-T: You know what it is though, Chuck, at the end of the day, our generation, we did our damn thing, and this is our way of giving back. Let’s just keep it going. How can I be bitter about Hip-Hop? I’ve taken Hip-Hop for a ride that very few people ever take it, whether it be movies, television, music, all that stuff. So, doing something like that is fun. Let’s give it back. Let’s make it happen for more and more people to enjoy it. So, yeah, I understand what LL… LL was my nemesis and LL got at me when he started the radio show. He said, “Ice, man, I need you, man.” So, we’re past that. We’re in another stage of our life so we can bring something to people that they might have heard about. A lot of people, back in the day, never even got to see some of these groups.

AllHipHop: Yeah, that’s real tough. I definitely didn’t, man. I wasn’t off the porch until the 90s. Actually, I did almost see Run-DMC live, but they came so late, my dad was like, “No, we got to leave.” And it was a lot of weed smoke in the air. I didn’t even know what weed smelled like back then. So, I missed Run-D.M.C.

Ice-T: Yeah, I mean, I just miss the shows. I remember going to Detroit and all the cats in the front row had on mink coats and gators and all that kind of stuff. I mean traveling back in those days when Hip-Hop was just starting, it was something else. And so, when you go to see Rock The Bells or you go to see an Art Of Rap Festival, that’s what you going to get that energy, that classic Hip-Hop energy. So, we going to keep that alive forever.

AllHipHop: Forever, man. Thank you. Final words?

Ice-T: Yep. If you’re breaking the law, stay the f### off the internet.

AllHipHop: Common sense ain’t common, brother.

50 Cent Reacts To Date Being Set For Alleged Penis Enhancement Trial

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s lawsuit against Perfection Plastic Surgery And Medical Spa owner Angela Kogan could head to trial next summer.

50 Cent sued Kogan for supposedly suggesting the entertainer received penis enlargement surgery. A recent report by AllHipHop revealed a Florida judge scheduled the trial date for July 3, 2023. The judge also called on both parties to complete mediation by March 23, 2023.

“The appearance of counsel and each party or representatives of each party with full authority to enter into a full and complete compromise and settlement is mandatory,” stated Judge Robert Scola in court documents.

Scola continued, “If insurance is involved, an adjuster with authority up to the policy limits or the most recent demand, whichever is lower, must attend. All proceedings of the mediation will be confidential and privileged.”

Has Angela Kogan Hurt Her Business By Legally Battling With The Hip Hop Mogul?

50 Cent has now reacted to AllHipHop‘s article about his civil case against Angela Kogan. The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ album creator addressed the ongoing legal situation on his Instagram page.

“Yeah, my d_ck is a BIG DEAL. Set for trial in July, no enhancement necessary, these fools put themselves out of business. SMH,” wrote 50 Cent in the social media post’s caption.

An Attorney For Angela Kogan Calls 50 Cent’s Claims “Frivolous”

Angela Kogan insisted The Shade Room, not Perfection, implied 50 Cent received cosmetic surgery for his penis. The celebrity news blog used a photo of Kogan with 50 Cent for an article about the MedSpa CEO. The Shade Room‘s image also featured the 🍆emoji.

Darren Heitner, Kogan’s lawyer, admitted to TMZ that Perfection Plastic Surgery And Medical Spa did provide 50 Cent with unnamed services. However, Heitner confirmed the procedure did not involve penile enhancement.

“Our clients did not take a single action to cause any damage to Mr. Jackson’s professional or personal reputation and will vigorously defend against the frivolous claims that have been publicly filed against them and their thriving business,” stated attorney Darren Heitner.

Nas Ties Jay-Z For Most Top 10 Albums By A Rapper

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Many fans will forever link the respective careers of Nasir “Nas” Jones and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter together. In addition to the fact the two emcees took part in a historic lyrical battle, both men are considered G.O.A.T. contenders.

This week saw Nas pull into a tie with Jay-Z for a major Billboard 200 record. Nas’s King’s Disease III album opened at #10 on the latest Billboard 200 chart with 29,000 first-week units earned.

King’s Disease III gives Nas his 16th Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200. The Queens, New York native is now tied with Jay-Z for the most Top 10 projects by a Hip Hop recording artist.

Nas scored his first Top 10 album when 1996’s It Was Written debuted at #1. That sophomore studio LP spent four weeks in the top spot. The 49-year-old musician/businessman has six Number Ones, including The Firm: The Album, I Am…, Hip Hop Is Dead, Untitled, and Life Is Good.

Jay-Z currently holds the record for #1 albums for a solo act. Throughout his career, the Brooklyn-bred rap superstar scored 14 Number Ones. The Beatles hold the all-time record with 19 chart-toppers. Drake sits in third place with 12.

Nas Jokes About Never Ending His Feud With Jay-Z

It appears Nas and Jay-Z’s now-friendly rivalry continues to play out to this day. Nas addressed his previous beef and his current relationship with the Tidal co-owner on the King’s Disease III track “Thun” produced by Hit-Boy.

“No beef or rivals, they playing ‘Ether’ on Tidal. Brothers can do anything when they decide to. In a Range Rover, dissecting bars from ‘Takeover.’ Sometimes I text Hova like, ‘N####, this ain’t over,’ laughing,” raps Nas on “Thun.”

Nas also spoke about the ongoing competition with Jay-Z during an interview with The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah. Apparently, Jay played some subtle chess moves around the time his “Black Republican” collaborator promoted King’s Disease III.

“When I released the tracklist for that album the other day, he released a picture with all his Grammys… Yeah, shout out to him,” said Nas. The one-time Grammy winner’s The Daily Show comment referred to a picture of Jay-Z with his 24 Grammy trophies going viral on social media.

Kodak Black Takes Issue With Losing Favorite Hip Hop Song At American Music Awards

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

There has been some controversy surrounding this year’s American Music Awards. For example, R&B star Chris Brown questioned why he was reportedly removed from the show’s lineup. Florida rapper Kodak Black then expressed his grievances with the AMAs as well.

Kodak’s single “Super Gremlin” earned an American Music Award nomination for Favorite Hip Hop Song. However, the trophy went to Future for “Wait For U” featuring Drake and Tems.

Apparently, Kodak believed he had a good chance to win the fan-voted award. Yesterday, he shared a screenshot from a Twitter stat account from November 8 which claimed “Super Gremlin” had a lead in the AMA category.

“My S### Been In The Lead For Bout 2 Months, All A Sudden They Give My S### Away TODAY! SMH I JUST KNEW I WON 😒,” wrote Kodak Black on his Instagram page.

Kodak Black Also Had Complaints About The 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards

This is not the first time Kodak Black has complained about losing at an award show. In October, he called out the BET Hip Hop Awards for naming Latto’s “Big Energy” as Song Of The Year over “Super Gremlin.”

“This whole s### looked like a damn plot,” said Kodak at the time. “They probably hollerin’ at BET, like don’t give him that s###. I told [people] weeks ago. Watch they finna play with me and give it to Frappuccino.”

Future’s “Wait For U” with Drake and Tems won Favorite Hip Hop Song at the AMAs over Kodak Black’s “Super Gremlin,” Latto’s Big Energy,” Jack Harlow’s “First Class,” and Lil Nax X & Jack Harlow’s “Industry Baby.”

“Super Gremlin” rose all the way to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming one of Kodak Black’s four career Top 10 entries. The Recording Industry Association of America certified “Super Gremlin” as Platinum in February 2022.

The energetic performance was topped off with a section of their coordinated Tik-Tok choreography as Glo, Cardi, and their backing dancers stepped in unison. While they made it look seamless, Cardi B practiced her moves right up until the last minute.  

“PRACTICING,” Cardi wrote alongside a video of her rehearsing her steps ahead of the show.  

However, the caption of another practice session clip seemingly had a sub aimed at her longtime rival, Nicki Minaj.  

While Cardi B and GloRilla were both nominated in the AMA category for favorite female Hip-Hop artist, alongside Latto and Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki scored the win.  

“THEY DONT WANNA SEE NO GANGSTA B###### WIN 🏅” the NYC rapper tweeted. 

Meanwhile, before rocking the stage with GloRilla, Cardi B pulled up at Lizzo’s Inglewood, California concert on Friday to perform their hit song, “Rumors.”  

“I am a Fan of Cardi B!” Lizzo tweeted after the show. “I been following her since before love&hiphop… But as much as I fan over her as an artist, who she is as a PERSON is UNMATCHED.” She then tagged Cardi before adding,”Thank U for always coming thru for me, for standing up for us when you don’t have to. U the peoples champ! I LOVE U.” 

Kanye West Tweets “Shalom” On Return To Twitter After Antisemitism Ban 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West made a controversial Twitter comeback on Sunday (Nov. 20) after Elon Musk reinstated his account following a ban for antisemitic remarks.  

His first post was harmless, with the rapper-turned-fashion-designer checking the status of his account.  

“Testing, testing. Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked,” he penned. However, it was his follow-up tweet a few hours later that caused further controversy.  

Ye tweeted, “Shalom,” the salutation used by Jewish people meaning peace, before adding smiling face. While some saw it as a message of goodwill, others took it as an insult. Some saw it as a slap in the face to Jewish people following his recent “I’m going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” statement, among other antisemitic comments.  

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1594469982150488066?s=20&t=uL8nf-blxkfgpe87JPHYtw

“Well Twitter / Musk have just shown exactly how little they care about Jews and antisemitism,” wrote one user. “For Kanye to be allowed back after being banned for an antisemitic tirade with the word “shalom” is a disgusting slap in our faces.”  

Before returning to Twitter, Kanye West announced he was running for president in 2024. Although he hinted as much recently, the news controversial alt-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos is working with Ye on the campaign caused a stir.  

In a new video, Kanye confirms his presidential run before revealing Yiannopoulos is “working on the campaign.” Watch the video below.

However, many were concerned with Kanye’s increasing ties to far-right political figures with troubling views. Milo was accused of condoning pedophilia after his comments about relationships between older and younger men. He was also criticized for his associations with various neo-N### and antisemitic figures, among other concerns.  

Check out some of the reactions to Kanye West’s return to social media and his relationship with Milo Yiannopoulos below. 

Kanye West Announces 2024 Presidential Run, Alt-Right Commentator Milo Yiannopoulos Working On Campaign 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West revealed his presidential bid in a new video and is currently working on his 2024 campaign with alt-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.  

In the video, Ye introduces the controversial commentator, who recently served as an intern for Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, before revealing Yiannopoulos is “working on the campaign.” However, it appears Kanye West may have jumped the gun. When asked, “is that an announcement,” Yiannopoulos laughs, replying, “I guess it is. Thanks, I accept.” Watch the video at the end of the page. 

Milo Yiannopoulos is the most recent controversial right-wing political figure with whom Kanye West has aligned himself. He was spotted hanging with Yiannopoulos last week (Nov. 17) while leaving the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.  

The alt-right provocateur resigned from Breitbart and lost his large social media following in 2017 after comments he made the year prior about relationships between older and younger men resurfaced.  

“I think particularly in the gay world, and outside the Catholic Church — if that’s where some of you want to go with this — I think in the gay world some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life-affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men,” he said on a podcast in 2016. “They can be hugely positive experiences.” 

He has also been criticized for his stances on Islam, feminism, and the LGBTQ+ community and for his associations with various neo-Nazi and antisemitic figures.  

Kanye Reveals $20 2024 Campaign Merch

Elsewhere in the video, Kanye West takes the camera person inside his Crenshaw workshop to show off his new Yeezy collection.  

“We got the Balenciaga right here,” Ye said, holding up a pair of black pants. ”But it’s the YE24 on it,” he added, pointing to the new presidential run logo.  

“So you are running?” the camera person asks after Kanye takes him into another room with YE24 merch laid out in neat rows on the floor. “Yes,” he admits after a long pause. “It’s simple,” he said, adding ‘“It’s just we’re moving toward the future.”  

Despite being dropped from numerous contracts, Ye says he’s repurposing some designs for his campaign. He also plans to make his new range affordable, with every item priced at $20.  

“I’ve cut up a hundred hoodies from Yeezy, from Balenciaga, from the stuff we did at Gap, from the stuff we did at Adidas,” he explains. “Everything we do is going to cost $20.”  

Pharrell Williams Confirms BTS Collaboration; Wants To Work With RM

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Pharrell Williams wants to work with BTS star RM on new music.

During a recent interview for Rolling Stone, the “Happy” hitmaker confirmed he had recorded a track with the K-pop group for his upcoming album Phriends.

And in a conversation with South Korean singer/rapper RM, real name Kim Nam-joon, Pharrell offered to help him produce his upcoming solo project.

“I love it, love it, love it. But I’m just going to put this out there. You said you’re 90 percent done with your solo album. But if within that last 10 percent, if you need – you don’t need me, but I mean,” he smiled. “If you want to do something, we can actually do it… Yeah, and you tell me what you want. Uptempo? We go uptempo.”

In response, RM exclaimed, “Please… I always needed you, for 15 years.”

In the chat, the 28-year-old shared that he made a Korean version of Pharrell’s 2006 song “Take It Off (Dim the Lights).”

“Because that was on one of my playlists. I even translated it into Korean and recorded it once when I was an amateur,” he continued, to which the legendary producer commented, “Whoa! That’s crazy.”

RM’s debut solo album, Indigo, is set to drop on December 2nd.

Stormzy Explains Why He Trains For Tours Like He’s An Olympian

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Stormzy takes training for his live shows so seriously it’s as if he’s getting ready for the Olympics.

The “Vossi Bop” rapper was originally due to tour his 2019 album Heavy Is the Head in the U.K. in 2020, but after a series of delays caused by the pandemic, he finally kicked off his trek in March 2022.

In an interview with GQ, the 29-year-old revealed that he worked to ensure his body was ready for touring after not performing live for so long.

“I pride myself on having an amazing show,” he said. “I pride myself on being a great performer. So I think, ‘O.K., what do you have to do to do that?’ I go on the most intense diet and get my nutritionist in. I get my trainer in, and we do intense workouts; you’d think I was training for the Olympics. And I stop smoking weed because I know that the best version of myself doesn’t smoke weed. I don’t think of it as discipline. It’s just easy maths in my head. This is what you need to do.”

Between announcing the tour and the shows taking place, Stormzy wondered if he might feel a bit out of sorts.

“It’s just that for the last few years I’ve been living my life, walking my dogs every day, just really treading along in my normal life,” he shared. “So, when it’s time to put on the cape I’m like, ‘Oh, s###.’ I know I still have my superpowers, but I haven’t worn this cape for ages. Then I go into the closet, and I put it on, and I know I’m going to fly out and use my powers, but naturally, on a human one, you’re like, ‘Well, I might feel a bit rusty.'”

However, he didn’t need to worry because the shows “did a lot for (his) confidence” and reassured him that he still had his fans’ support.

Neil Nines Starts a Fire with Heath Allen

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Consistent volume is the name of the game today. The issue is the craftsmanship is often lost in translation: not the case with Baltimore’s Neil Nines. One of Charm City’s busiest DJs, Neil Nines also brings quality with each and every release (proving Nines is a force to be reckoned with as a producer as well), the latest example being “Start A Fire” which features Heath Allen, who is a veteran in his own right. The two come together to form an EDM collaboration known as “Allen X Hines.”

Look for a handful of tracks from the duo in the future, but “The Floor is Ours” (co-written with Nashville’s Sunnie Williams) is a considerably strong start as it packs an emotional punch. There’s a story associated with the track that takes listeners on a journey and from the harmonious breakdowns to a drop that feels like a spiritual experience, it’s a trek worth taking for the listener. This high-level musicianship is what we’ve come to expect from Neil Nines as he’s been delivering heat throughout 2022.

While Nines has generated some buzz as of late on the solo side (an exclamation point being his signing with independent record label Swaggertown Records), the duo of Allen X Nines is beginning to do so as well, having rocked in unison in Baltimore’s Mosaic Nightclub & Lounge.

They’ve cited anyone from Tiesto to Cosmic Gate as inspiration and say their music blends “cinematic orchestration with anthemic EDM vocals and instrumentation.” We cosign this entirely and are very much hype for more! Don’t forget to follow Neil Nines on IG and follow Heath Allen on the Gram as well. Stay all the way tuned because more dope music is on the way!

King Adonis I: The Celebrity Millionaire Behind the Religion for ‘Women with Curves’

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

King Adonis I is setting the record straight about himself and the Adonitology religion he created for curvy women. The esteemed founder, Supreme Deity of the Adonitology religion, and one of the stars of the short documentary “5 Celebrity Gods Worshiped Among Men”, shared fake memes and fake articles that say Adonitology is a religion that “worships women’s posteriors,” but clarified in a recent press statement that’s simply false and misleading information to the public. 

It’s been almost ten years since the Adonitology religion first went viral from a fake meme about a real religion that empowers and uplifts ‘women with curves.’

The fake definition on google for Adonitology has caused a minor infraction to the church’s reputation causing public confusion about one of the world’s most popular religions of modern times and now King Adonis I, the religion’s founder and royal leader is speaking out, and setting the record straight.  

King Adonis I, said in a recent press statement, “Adonitology is a beautiful religion that empowers and advocates for callipygian (shapely bottom) women with the curvy body types of Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Megan the Stallion, Cardi B, and women who’ve had BBLs.”  He continued, “The memes about Adonitology being a religion that worships women’s behinds are ridiculous, false, and fake news.

The public has been misled by internet trolls. Adonitology has never been nor will it ever be a religion about that. The church empowers these women through body positivity sermons using spiritual teachings that enrich the mind and soul of an individual. We teach and enlighten millennials and GenZ about world history, female sensuality, technology, futurism, and science. That is Adonitology.”    

King Adonis I wrote the Bible of Adonitology; The Book of Adonitology: The Sacred Pentadon of the Adonitology Religion, (available on Amazon.com for $29.99 paperback and $45.94 hardcover) for shapely women. King Adonis I said, “Adonitology is designed for women of today and future generations. The sacred scriptures uphold the belief that worshiping women’s body parts is sacrilege. “You cannot glorify God that way, King Adonis said. The practice of worshiping human body parts is forbidden. 

The founder of Adonitology has taken issue with social media giants Meta (formerly Facebook) and Twitter for allowing their users to continue to post fake definitions about Adonitology and not have the posts taken down, their accounts deleted, or banned for making inaccurate posts about the religion despite requests from the church.  

King Adonis I has also blamed Google as the biggest problem to the credibility of the Adonitology brand as internet users who use the search engine’s platform constantly tell people to “google” the false definition of Adonitology rather than encourage them to visit the church’s website and listen to sermons by King Adonis I and church leaders or read The Book of Adonitology which upholds the true nature of the Adonitology faith. 

King Adonis I made the following statement, “We have been fighting this problem for years asking Google and websites to remove the fake definitions from their websites which have turned into articles and monetized content for bloggers, YouTubers, and podcasters as that definition is the first reference that comes up when people Google us. There are internet users posting fake definitions of Adonitology on their Facebook pages and Twitter feed and then telling users to “google” Adonitology. 

People trust Google and when they come across a fake Adonitology definition on Google that didn’t come from the church, people think it’s real and that Google is accurate. They think that’s who we are and represent. That’s a big problem because Google’s and other websites’ definition of Adonitology is wrong. I should know. I invented the word Adonitology and gave it its meaning.”  

The church has even contacted users on Facebook and Twitter directly requesting them to remove all Adonitology falsified definitions and many have complied. 

King Adonis I said, “Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, and other websites must all be held accountable and remove all traces of any false definitions and fake memes pertaining to the Adonitology brand name from their search engines and websites that the church has not commissioned. We are considering taking legal action against those responsible.” He added, “It’s time for me to speak out and set the record straight.”

Adonitology has grown immensely in terms of global popularity. Adonitology has accumulated over 142.1 million views on the TikTok platform alone from TikTok creators. 

Things have been fruitful for King Adonis I as the viral memes and media attention have catapulted him into international stardom across five continents making the Adonitology religion one of the most popular religions of the 21st century. 

Podcaster Hiipothesis featured King Adonis I and TV personality Nick Cannon in an episode, as did Podcasters 2 Jack Bros who covered the Will and Jada Pinkett Smith entanglement drama and the Adonitology religion in one of their episodes. And the MVP podcast reported on the Joe Biden’s U.S. presidential election win and King Adonis I in one of their episodes. The Adonitology religion has been covered in more than 5,000 languages across 5 continents with India, South and Central America, and Africa being some of its biggest international markets. 

King Adonis I is quickly becoming a household name in the United States. King Adonis was recently featured on Europe’s mediianews.com where he’s just as popular a news story as Taylor Swift, Henry Cavill, and former President Donald Trump to name a few. 

In 2017, King Adonis I shared a featured article in Maxim Magazine India with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

A plethora of Adonitology documentaries created by independent filmmakers and Youtubers curious about King Adonis I and the Adonitology religion constantly flood the YouTube and Spotify platforms.

But who is King Adonis I the religious founder and supreme deity of The Church of Adonitology International?

King Adonis I, was born May 17th, 1971 in Chicago, Il. He is the owner of Dream City Universal, Inc. a multimedia company, a businessman, a global music artist, an author and a celebrity personality. He is also believed to be God incarnate by Adonitologists and according to some sources one of the wealthiest monarchs in the world with an estimated net worth of $628M. 

The 51-year-old leader shared how major world religions have failed to spiritually connect, cater to or support shapely women. “Most world religions like Christianity cater to common women of average built and heavyset women,” King Adonis said. 

King Adonis I continued, “The callipygian women you see on social media are byproducts of their family’s religious upbringing and social conditioning, capitalism, consumerism, and media commercialism like buying toys and gifts for Christmas. 

This spiritual vacuum has played a role in my destiny to empower them with spiritual knowledge and acceptance of self-love. Let’s be honest, “Europeans don’t like women with pronounced behinds like African, Latin, Indian, and certain Asian groups of women. They like skinny women. Women who are and look European. 

I was not excited about mainstream religions’ attitude towards shapely bottom women during the time I created Adonitology and wrote The Book of Adonitology. No religion in the world caters to and resonates with callipygian women. What’s the point of my statement to the media? To shift the false narratives.”

In his new book Blessed Are Callipygian Women available on Amazon.com for $9.99 in English, Spanish and audio, King Adonis I gives callipygian women spiritual guidance and life purpose and takes the Adonitology religion even further calling for a global population increase of 1 billion callipygian women. The population increase will include callipygian women with natural curves and women who have undergone safe BBL cosmetic procedures.  

The church is expected to plant 1,000 church buildings and temples around the world by 2032 to accommodate the growing global demand from its huge number of followers. 

King Adonis I concluded, “Along with flying cars, a one world currency, human population control, climate change, and technology that will usher in human immortality, Adonitology is the present and future religion for callipygian women. The Church of Adonitology will once again become the religion it once was before Christianity dominated the world. Adonitology enriches and changes the lives and minds of modern daywomen towards a better future for today and tomorrow.”

Black Detroit Entrepreneur Creates Business Bringing Music Artists and Prison Inmates Together.

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Virgil Hare, the founder, and creator of INDULTA, created a new and unique way to allow inmates across the nation to experience social media. 

Prisoners across the nation have no access to society’s most utilized social media platforms. They’re unable to see what the latest social trends are. Or the newest fashion fad pic causing millions of clicks, views, and likes on the net. Most of the time, inmates are not hip to what songs are hot and are topping the charts. 

INDULTA Magazine of New Thought isn’t your typical, everyday magazine, and it is evident that it sits apart from the other magazines made available to the nation’s prison population. Its sleek, elegant, well-thought-out design indeed sits in a category all by itself. Along with its inspirational quotes and words of affirmation that prisoners look forward to reading in every issue, it features page after page of the latest fashion, great cars, beautiful homes, and today’s celebrities with a solid social media presence.

INDULTA magazine also provides opportunities for music artists, producers, and so many more from the music industry to introduce their musical creations, whether a song, an album, and/or a beat, into a barely-tapped prison market. 

For prisoners, music is essential. A must-have. A non-negotiable. Music allows prisoners to feel outside of the everyday hustle and bustle of prison life. It gives them a chance to explore their musical artistry and get some peace of mind which is extremely hard to do while incarcerated. Most prisoners across the nation don’t have access to a radio, and those that do have difficulty getting a good reception. So instead of relying on the local radio station for music filled with static and white noise, prisoners turn to the Jpay system for their musical fix.

Jpay is a way for prison inmates to search and download music to their tablets. These songs and albums are uploaded to the Jpay system through music distributors. The price of songs averages about $2.00, and most albums run about $15.00. For most inmates, that could be a lot of money, so they are usually thoughtful about the music they purchase and download to their tablets.

INDULATA magazine allows music artists to showcase(market) their music to those thoughtful inmates. Knowing more about the song or artist makes it more likely that the inmate will purchase that song or album because they possibly find a connection to it because of the backstory featured in INDULTA magazine.

Up-and-coming music artists, chart-topping, record-breaking singers, and rappers can benefit from marketing their music to the prison population.

Currently, INDULTA magazine has thousands and thousands of subscribers and growing across the nation in state correctional departments and federal prisons and plans to continue to grow.

Virgil’s goal is to provide a new way of thinking to the prisoners in our nation. He strives to give them nothing but positivity and motivation resulting in them having a new outlook on life.

EXCLUSIVE: YNW Melly’s Mom Questioned Over Witness Tampering; Claims Detective Stole Her Phone & Hurt Her Fingers

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

The mother of incarcerated rapper YNW Melly, Jaime King, has been accused of witness tampering.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, King was subpoenaed by Assistant State Attorney Michelle Boutros last month to answer questions about the potential charge from Miramar Police detective Mark Moretti.

As part of the agreement, King was granted full use immunity from prosecution regarding the investigation of her son’s case.

A post shared by Just A Matter Of Slime 💚 (@ynwmelly)

But while at the Broward County State Attorney’s Office, King claims they surprised her with a search warrant. King says Moretti then “became aggressive” and demanded her cell phone.

King said she would need to inform her employer she’d be without a phone that day. As she attempted to do so, she alleges Moretti “thrust himself across the table,” pushing her attorney Robert H. Trachman aside and “forcibly” retrieving the phone.

During the process, King says Moretti bent her fingers back so far, she’s still in physical therapy for the subsequent injuries. King is asking the Broward County court to order the Miramar Police Department to return her property “immediately.”

A copy of the search warrant alleges King’s cell phone has been used as a means to commit a crime and constitutes as evidence relevant to proving a felony has been committed.

No specific details were provided.

YNW Melly has been behind bars since February 2019 for the double murder of Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. On November 10, an appellate judge ruled prosecutors can still seek the death penalty if convicted.

Kanye West & Donald Trump Both Return To Twitter: Coincidence?

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Kanye West and Donald Trump have both been welcomed back to Twitter by new owner/CEO Elon Musk. Ye made his triumphant return on Sunday (November 20) with a simple tweet that read, “Testing, testing. Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked.”

Of course, loyal Ye fans flocked to his post and he quickly racked up over 300,000 likes. Evidently, some people were thrilled to see he’s resurfaced considering the challenging few weeks he’s endured. West has suffered numerous consequences over his antisemitic comments—from losing his billionaire status to being dropped from Adidas. Meanwhile, he remains defiant, giving multiple interviews about the controversy, although he did apologize for his inflammatory remarks about George Floyd.

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1594386046149529600?s=20&t=vyY6zoixZW05zdr_8QYDIA

As for Kanye West’s close, personal friend Donald Trump, his account was reinstated on Saturday (November 19). Musk decided to run a poll on Twitter, asking people if they wanted him back. With over 50 percent in favor, Musk tweeted Trump would be allow to use the platform again.

“The people have spoken,” he tweeted. “Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”

Trump, who recently announced his intention to run in the 2024 presidential election, was banned from Twitter following the Capitol Insurrection on January 6, 2021. West also plans to run again, as evidenced by the “2024” hat he wore on Drink Champs. Conspiracy theorists believe West only made the antisemitic comments in an effort to win over a portion of Trump’s followers. Whatever the case, he and Trump’s presence on Twitter is about as polarizing as it gets.

EXCLUSIVE: Trial Over 50 Cent’s Penis Set For July 2023

By: Justin IveyCategory: Exclusives

50 Cent will battle a MedSpa owner in court unless the two can reach a settlement in the coming months.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, 50 Cent’s lawsuit against MedSpa owner Angela Kogan will head to trial in July. The 47-year-old rapper sued Kogan for allegedly implying he received penis enlargement surgery.

A Florida judge scheduled the trial for July 3, 2023. 50 Cent and Kogan must participate in mediation, which needs to be completed by March 23, 2023.

“The appearance of counsel and each party or representatives of each party with full authority to enter into a full and complete compromise and settlement is mandatory,” Judge Robert Scola informed 50 Cent and Kogan. “If insurance is involved, an adjuster with authority up to the policy limits or the most recent demand, whichever is lower, must attend. All proceedings of the mediation will be confidential and privileged.”

He added, “If mediation is not conducted, the case may be stricken from the trial calendar, and other sanctions may be imposed.”

50 Cent claimed he suffered public embarrassment from an implication he went to Kogan’s Perfection Plastic Surgery and MedSpa for penile enhancement. Kogan denied any wrongdoing, noting she never suggested the G-Unit boss underwent surgery.

Kogan criticized 50 Cent for pursuing legal action against her. She assumed his real gripe was with The Shade Room, which ran a story about penis enlargement.

The MedSpa owner was interviewed for the article, which featured a photo of her posing with 50 Cent. The Shade Room added an eggplant emoji to the picture for a social media post.

Kogan said 50 Cent received MedSpa services from her in exchange for the photo. The deal allowed her to share the image on social media.

50 Cent believed Kogan was to blame for any insinuation about him getting penis enlargement surgery. Kogan wanted the lawsuit dismissed.

“The entirety of [50 Cent’s] complaint crumbles under the truth of the matter,” her attorneys argued. “[His] embarrassment as the butt of social media jokes is one thing, but to weaponize such embarrassment for the purpose of seeking equitable and/or monetary damages from Defendants borders on abuse of process.”

Lil Durk Affiliate Lamron Quan & Milwaukee Rapper KD Fatally Shoot Each Other During Argument

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Lil Durk affiliate Lamron Quan and fellow aspiring rapper KD reportedly shot and killed each other during an argument over the weekend. The incident took place in Fargo, North Dakota around 3 a.m. local time on Saturday (November 19).

According to Valley News, Fargo Police responded to a call for shots fired in the 1000 block of 15th St. N. Police say when officers got to the area, they found two decedents, both with gunshot wounds. They were later identified as Kierre “KD” Davies and Jaquan “Lamron Quan” Gatewood.

“I talked to him last night, just a couple of hours before everything happened,” KD’s childhood friend Saanjai Lobley said. “I’m just trying to figure out and we’re trying to figure out what’s going on, what happened.”

Cousin Doneisa Wilson added, “I broke down and I got on my knees and I prayed and I kept praying that it wasn’t him and I kept calling his phone and he wasn’t answering and it broke my heart.”

Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Fargo Police Department. Police add this is an active criminal investigation and no further details will be released at this time.
