SOURCE: {HIPHOPDX} Kanye West is upset he ranked at #7 on MTV’s annual “Hottest MCs” list.
MTV has become the target of Kanye West’s wrath because its annual “Hottest MCs in the Game” list.
The Chi-Town rhymer called in to Hot 97’s DJ Enuff to discuss MTV’s list, on which he placed at #7. Yeezy said he is upset with his placement at the lower end of the list, saying that the decision was influenced more by his personal life than his music. He also vocalized his disappointment in Sway Calloway, saying, “I gave Sway his first TV…and he ain’t even remember that.”
“Yeah #7 bothers me. I think that Wayne is the #1 rapper in the world…him and Jay and Em and certain people are trust the greatest rappers of all time,” he said. “For me, I feel like in order for them to put me at #7, they had to bring up things that they didn’t like – [like] the Cruel Summer album. And I’m like, that’s a compilation, it ain’t all rappers on G.O.O.D. Music…they want to diss me and be like, ‘He didCruel Summer and he can’t say he ain’t a part of it because he’s on eight records’…[their decision is] definitely not based on a body of work.”
He continued, “What happens is with these types of judges and people who review this, when you come in [the game], I had the pink polo and the backpack, then I’m checking all the boxes of that A Tribe Called Quest era and J Dilla and all that, so they want to champion it. They don’t like Givenchy Kanye, they don’t like Kanye in a kilt, they don’t like Kanye in a relationship. I don’t think it’s like them going bar for bar. I said, ‘He lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the team.’ Ain’t no bar in the entire past 12 months that’s hotter than that bar…I couldn’t believe it. I gave Sway his first TV. He came over to my crib in Newark, New Jersey…doing beats with Jay and Beans and all them, I was getting a new TV, and I gave Sway his first TV…and he ain’t even remember that.”
This isn’t the first time that Kanye’s been caught ranting in the past month. In addition to targeting theGrammy Awards and Justin Timberlake’s single “Suit and Tie,” the Louis Vuitton Don recently took aim at major clothing labels, saying “name brands [are] always fighting for your soul.”
SOURCE: (AllHipHop News) Music mogul’s Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine have officially launched a new streaming music service titled “Daisy” backed by $60 million in funding.
The pair’s company Beats Electronics secured the investment from Access Industries and a group of private investors, who will launch “Daisy” sometime in late 2013.
“Daisy” is being launched off of the streaming service MOG, which Beats Electronics in 2012 for an undisclosed sum.
“Beats was always about helping people re-discover the magic in the experience of listening to music,” Jimmy Iovine said. “Now that we are well along the way to addressing the quality of audio playback with Beats headphones and speakers, Daisy allows us to re-introduce the same magic into the process of music discovery and consumption.”
In addition to being well capitalized, “Daisy” will benefit from the investment group’s years of experience in music and subscription-based services.
This investment group brings significant expertise in music and subscription business, complimenting and extending the advantages already bestowed upon “Daisy” from its close relationship with and initial investment from Beats.
“Beats has the vision, the brand, the management team and now the investor group to effectively change the expectations and experiences of a music subscription service,” said Access Industries’ Len Blavatnik. “I’m looking forward to taking on this exciting challenge together.”
Former Topspin head Ian Rogers will be Chief Executive Officer of “Daisy” and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor will serve as the music service’s Chief Creative Officer.
SOURCE: (AllHipHop News) Philadelphia’s Fox 29 is reporting that murder charges have been filed against an accused suspect in the February 28th drive-by shooting that took place near Bad Boy recording artist French Montana’s tour bus.
According to police, the suspect, Frank Biggs, was the passenger in the black sedan identified at the scene. Biggs reportedly gave investigators a full statement about the shooting that left Jowann King, 26, of Flushing, New York dead and another person injured.
Biggs is now facing murder, attempted murder, and aggravated assault charges.
French Montana was not injured during the shooting. The “Pop That” rapper has made several public statements over the last week insisting that he nor anyone associated with him were the targets of the shooting which included Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill who was on the tour bus with Montana at the time of the shooting.
Philadelphia police officials have confirmed that they have no evidence that the shooter was aiming to harm Montana or his entourage. No motive for the shooting has been revealed yet.
SOURCE: {HIPHOPDX} Beanie Sigel will face an even longer prison sentence for last year’s drug charges.
Philadelphia rapper Beanie Sigel has been sentenced to additional time in jail for last year’s drug arrest.
According to Philly.com, Beans was sentenced to an additional six to 23 months in jail stemming from hisAugust 2012 arrest for possession of a controlled substance. The former Roc-a-Fella emcee is currently serving out a sentence for tax evasion.
As DX reported last year, Sigel was arrested for possession of codeine, prescription pills and a small amount of marijuana. Police were tipped off when the car in which Beans was travelling at the time began swerving between lanes and tailgating another car.
During the initial search, police also found a loaded handgun in the center dashboard of the car. Although the gun charges against Sigel were later dropped, the driver of automobile Gerald Andrews was sentenced to two-and-a-half to five years in prison for possession of a firearm.
As previously mentioned, Beanie Sigel is currently serving a two year sentence for failing to pay more than $728,000 in federal taxes dating back to 1999.
SOURCE: (AllHipHop News) The triple homicide shooting that claimed the life of Oakland rapper Kenneth “Kenny Clutch” Cherry is nearing completion but not before some complications.
Prime suspect, 26-year-old Ammar Harris challenged his extradition from to Nevada from California on Monday (March 4th) after being captured last Thursday (February 28th).
Harris was arrested at a Studio City apartment complex in Los Angeles.
Harris’ defense attorney relayed his client’s request for police and/or other Nevada authorities be summoned to Los Angeles, California to identify him as the correct fugitive.
A possible way to challenge state to state extradition would be for Harris and his attorney to prove Harris was not in Nevada at the time of the murder.
A highly unlikely scenario since the arrest warrant states the police used interviews as well as Taxi cab dashbord and casino camera videos to tie the self-described pimp to the Haze nightclub Cherry attended on February 21st.
According to the arrest warrant obtained by The LA Times, the video footage shows Harris leaving the nightclub at the same time Cherry was leaving the casino lobby. Shortly after, Harris walked over tot he driver side of the Maserati Cherry and his passenger, Freddy Walters were in. Harris, in his Range Rover chased after Cherry after he sped off. A Luck Cab dashboard cam revealed that after a heated chase on Las Vegas Boulevard “the Range Rover pulled into the path of the Maserati, a horn sounded, and approximately one second later, as the Range Rover was next to the Maserati, a gunshot was fired,” according to the arrest warrant.
Another way for Harris to successfully beat extradition would be to prove he did not fire the shot that killed Cherry.
Not much more of a plausible option as the only person with Harris in the car was identified as 22-year old Yenesis Alfonzo. However, Las Vegas police have stated Alfonzo is no longer a person of interest.
Harris faces three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder, plus counts of discharging a firearm into a vehicle and discharging a firearm out of a vehicle. The Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfso said he would not rule out seeking the death penalty for Harris’ alleged actions.
SOURCE: {HIPHOPDX} Snoop Dogg explains that he had to be a “bigger man” in his situation with Suge Knight.
Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight had a storied history with one another, with the former leaving Death Row Records in the late ’90s on bad terms. But fans were surprised to see the two pictured recently in a club together in a snapshot posted to Snoop’s Instagram captioned with, “N d club wit Suge miss those death row days!”
During an interview with DJ Skee, the artist currently known as Snoop Lion addressed the picture and how he wanted to be a “bigger man” in the situation.
“I think time heals all wounds,” he said. “And then being a bigger man and being one who accepts responsibility and right or wrong, I like saving lives, I don’t like to take lives. If that means putting my hand out saying I’m wrong, I apologize and we be cool, I’ll do that as opposed to me going behind my back, pulling a gun out and getting somebody or me doing something vicious to you.”
Snoop Lion is currently prepping the release of his upcoming album Reincarnated, dropping April 23rd. The LP is set to feature guest appearances from Drake, Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes and more.
SOURCE: {HIPHOPDX} Sway confirms that he did receive a TV from Kanye West, plans on telling the full story on Rap Fix Live.
Chi-town rapper Kanye West was quick to voice his opinion on MTV’s Hottest MC’s In The Game List when it was revealed that he only secured the number seven spot on the coveted list. After sharing his thoughts on his placement during an interview with DJ Enuff, Kanye later called out radio host and MTV personality Sway Calloway and shared that he gifted Sway with his first ever television.
Earlier today (March 6th) on Sway In The Morning, the radio host confirmed that Kanye did in fact give him a TV, but revealed that there’s a lot more to the story.
“That very TV, today, I still have that TV he’s talking about,” said Sway. “Yeah, but it’s a lot about this story that Kanye West did not reveal. There’s more to the story ladies and gentleman. Typically, I don’t bring stuff to the surface. I protect relationships. Today, I’m going to bring that very TV that Kanye West was talking about to Rap Fix. And I’mma sit it on the set and let that TV co-host the show with me and I’m gonna tell the entire story of my first TV courtesy of Kanye West.”
Sway also went on to breakdown all that goes into creating the Hottest MC’s In The Game List, a list that is crafted by the MTV Hip Hop Brain Trust.
“I don’t vote. I created the list. I created the whole concept and I thought after time it wouldn’t be right for me to vote for this very reason,” Sway explained. “What you’re hearing Kanye say. Because I’ve been so apart of a lot of different careers with a lot of artists, including Kanye, that I know when I vote people get really emotional about how I may feel…This is how we came out. We averaged out everybody’s list and made it one master list. People came up with their own ideas of who their top 10 is. We made it into one master list and then we started debating. Not everyone on the table agreed with every number of every artist.”
Today’s episode of Rap Fix Live will feature appearances from Lil Kim and Talib Kweli and will air at 4 P.M. on MTV Jams and on the Rap Fix Website.
Just a few days ago, 41-year-old Mark reportedly told a UK magazine he “might” get the old band back together … but, “I’ve just got to find the right time.”
Now, 2 of the Bunch’s former members — Terry Yancey (aka DJ T) and Hector Barros (aka “The Booty Inspector”) — tell us … “Our initial reaction was that it would be amazing if he were to want to reunite with the group.”
So far, the guys say there have not been any official conversations between the two sides … but tell us a reunion has been something they’ve been thinking about for years.
“We always had the want of getting back together as a group (Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch). But once Mark’s acting career took off it became obvious it wasn’t going to happen.”
The guys say they reached out to Marky Mark in 2008, but he respectfully declined — “He expressed that he would love to be on tour doing music again, but he felt he was too far removed from it.”
First off, it’s 2013 and using the name “The Booty Inspector” just isn’t going to fly. No shots.
Interestingly, the story also mentions that the Funky Bunch still performs to this day. Who knew?
Holla in the comments if you’ve been to a Funky Bunch concert and let us know if you’re hoping this reunion happens. Seriously, no shade.

SOURCE:(AllHipHop News) Julio Acevedo is wanted for allegedly murdered a pregnant woman and her husband in a hit-and-run accident and was already a murderer before that unlucky incident.
Acevedo is also the man who murderede Brooklyn gangster Kelvin Martin, better known as the original “50 Cent”.
According to police reports, the 44-year-old was allegedly speeding in a 2010 BMW at double the speed limit and crashed into a cab with Nachman and Raizel Glauber along with their unborn child on Sunday (March 3rd).
The 2010 BMW after the crash
Williamsburg photographer Shimon Gifter was on the scene and told the New York Postthat Acevedo returned to the crash site after initially fleeing once helped out the mangled BMW:
“It was absolutely freezing, and this guy was wearing a sweater, smoking a cigarette. He looked very nervous. He just looked at the crash and went back the same way he came, up Kent Avenue. He just disappeared.”
The Hassidic Jewish couple died in separate hospitals as Nachman passed away from head injuries at Beth Israel Medical Center and Raizel was sustained long enough for doctors at Bellevue Hospital to deliver a C-section before she eventually died. The newborn baby died the following day (March 4th) on what would have been his 21 year old mother’s 22nd birthday.
Acevedo was arrested a few week prior on February 17th at 3:15 A.m. for drunk driving in a separate BMW.
His rap sheets extends past drunk driving and includes drug possession, reckless endangerment, robbery and the infamous 1987 murder of the original “50 Cent” which he served over a decade for in prison.
SOURCE: {HIPHOPWIRED}While the pictures of Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose’s newborn boy are slow to trickle in, we are starting to get news of the lad’s family support system. Sebastian Taylor Thomaz’s godfather is none other than Jet Life rapper Curren$y Spitta.
Rose revealed the news via Twitter yesterday (March 4). “Yay! I’m so excited 4 Sebastian 2 meet his godfather @CurrenSy_Spitta today! This Lil boy has so much family & Love… It’s such a blessing,” she tweeted. Besides getting acquainted with his godson, Spitta and Wiz also played pool. He tweeted about an hour ago, “Ken and Ryu shall train young Bash in the ways of the fly….. He will be better than Akuma …..” Those areStreet Fighter II references, if you are confused.
A couple of weeks ago it was confirmed that the “Bash” tattoo that Wiz got on his forehead months ago was an early dedication to his first born. Although Wiz is clearly enjoying fatherhood, the new responsibilities undoubtedly put the release of his collaborative album with Curren$y—titled Live In Concert, which has gone from a mixtape to a proper retail album—in limbo.
Also worth noting, with a pair of father figures like these, the chances of young Bash not becoming a smoker of the finest cheeba is pretty much nil. Check out photos of Sebastian Taylor Thomaz (so far we’ve spotted hair and a tiny hand) in the gallery.
SOURCE: (AllHipHop News) On February 12, Quadeer “MC Spice” Shakur, the Minister of Information for the Zulu Nation, sent an open letter to Lee “Q” O’Denat, the founder and CEO of the video streaming website Worldstarhiphop.com, contending that the content on WSHH does not accurately reflect the true principles of Hip-Hop culture.
Now Hip-Hop pioneer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Grandmaster Melle Mel of the legendary rap group Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five has teamed with the Zulu Nation to pressure Worldstar to remove all references of “Hip-Hop” from their site.
Melle Mel and Shakur spoke with AllHipHop.com about the Zulu Nation’s ongoing petitionand boycott of WorldStar and other items they view are misrepresenting the foundation that the culture of Hip-Hop was built upon.
“I think Worldstarhiphop has given young people a platform to exhibit horrible behavior toward other young people and toward the community at large, and they promote it like that has something to do with Hip-Hop,” says Melle Mel.
“They know for a fact just using the word ‘Hip-Hop’ is going to garnish some attention,” says the Zulu Nation’s Shakur. “They know exactly what they’re doing.”
The Universal Zulu Nation began in New York City in 1973 as a way to counteract the gang culture that had infested urban neighborhoods. Founded by Hip-Hop icon DJ Afrika Bambaataa, the Zulu Nation is now an international organization with branches in countries like France, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and others.
Hip-Hop as a culture was created by artists like Bambaataa, The Furious Five, Coke La Rock, and DJ Kool Herc to stop inner-city gang violence amongst Black and Latino youth. The culture is transmited around the world by the four basic elements of DJing, emceeing, graffiti art, and break dancing, and the fifth element of knowledge.
“Hip-Hop came out of gang culture into the culture of music,” says Melle Mel. “That’s the greatest thing that Hip-Hop brought to the black community. It brought us out of an oppressive situation.”
“People do know the difference between Hip-Hop culture and the word ‘Hip-Hop’ that has been loosely used,” says Shakur. “The only people who don’t know the difference unfortunately is the impressionable youth.”
Both Melle Mel and Shakur mentioned a recent video that was uploaded to WSHH as an example of the improper acts being exhibited by young people in the name of “Hip-Hop” that they feel are being promoted by WorldStar.
In the particular video, a teenager is forced to strip naked as another individual beats him with a belt. Other people in the background can be heard laughing and seen tossing water on the victim. Three people have since been arrested by Newark, New Jersey police officers and charged with aggravated assault and robbery.
Melle Mel believes that WorldStar should also take responsibility for perpetuating violence like the one displayed in the video of the young man being whipped by a belt.
In many of the videos posted to WSHH the individual filming can be heard yelling “Worldstar” as they videotape various violent attacks including staged bouts between teenagers.
“Worldstarhiphop is literally breaking the law on a daily basis when they’re showing assaults, and that could have been considered child pornography,” says Mel. “They’re just throwing it up there like it’s something funny. They are going to be held responsible as far as the law is concerned.”
Beyond arguing that WorldStar is contributing to illegal acts being committed by young people, Shakur also takes offense to the idea that the website in any way represents true Hip-Hop culture.
“WorldstarHipHop has no respect, as far as I’m concerned, for our people and our music,” says Shakur. “If it was in fact just a site for what we call ‘entertainment’ then let it be known at the bottom of your page. Put some kind of disclaimer that you are not in fact involved in or a part of real Hip-Hop culture.”
As a member of the Universal Zulu Nation, Shakur promotes the four spiritual principles of Hip-Hop culture – peace, unity, love, and having fun.
“Go to [Worldstarhiphop] and tell me if you can find any four of those at once,” urges Shakur. “If you are not abiding by the four spiritual principles, those are the core values of Hip-Hop culture, then you’re not a Hip-Hopper.”
“WorldStarHipHop has no more to do with Hip-Hop then FedEx has to do with the Federal Government,” adds Melle Mel.
WorldStarHipHop.com was started in 2005 by Queens native O’Denat, and has become one the most viewed video blog sites on the internet averaging between 1-2 million unique viewers every day. In March of 2012 it was ranked as the 269th most visited site in the United States, and reportedly earns over $2.5 million a year.
The website presents user submitted videos that include footage of fights, pranks, and comedy sketches as well as promotional videos from music labels and news clips from around the world. Music videos submitted by both established artists and independent artists are shown as well.
Grandmaster Melle Mel points out that the procedure for a user to submit music videos to WorldStar is different from the procedure to submit amateur videos of violent acts.
“If you call them and talk to them about a Hip-Hop video they’ll charge you to put that video up, but if you send them a video of you kicking someone’s ass or the booty videos, they’re throwing them up for free,” says Melle Mel.
“They are calling themselves Hip-Hop, and they’re not doing nothing for the culture except raping the culture in order to make money,” adds Shakur.
According to reports, a non-established artist has to pay $500 to submit a music video, $1,250 for mixtape/DVD trailers, and $2,500 a day for their video to be placed in the featured space at the top of the site.
While label-backed artists do not have to pay for their content to appear on Worldstar, the site does make a significant profit from corporate sponsored advertisements.
“[Corporations] understand that the culture can get a whole group of people to move,” says Shakur. “So our people are moved to shoot, kill, rob, and rape. Their people are moved to excel, excel, and excel all based on the premise of real Hip-Hop culture.”
A “video agreement” posted on WSHH states that once a user has submitted a video WorldStar has the right to use that video in form and to license it out to other parties:
By submitting the video, you hereby grant Worldstar Hip
Hop and its parent company, Worldstar LLC,("Worldstar")theirrevocable right and license to duplicate, broadcast,
exhibit, transmit and exploit the video, or to allow Worldstart to grant sublicenses to third parties to duplicate, broadcast, exhibit, transmit and exploit the video, on theinternet, television, mobile platforms or other media
throughout the world.You agree that Worldstar shall not berequired to make any payment to you or anyone else in
exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement, and
acknowledge that you shall receive valuable consideration in the form of placement of and promotion of the video.
Worldstar has faced legal issues concerning copyright infringement in the past. A March 2011 Vibe magazine exposé revealed that the site was temporarily shut down in January of that year after a user filed a copyright complaint because WSHH did not credit him as the video’s creator. Worldstarhiphop.com was then subsequently shut down by the site’s server for a time.
So far no one from WorldStar has responded to the Zulu Nation’s request to remove the word “Hip-Hop” from its name and its site, but the Zulu Nation plans to take further action if WSHH representatives do not respond to Shakur’s letter within 30 days, including reaching out to political leaders.
Shakur also says that O’Denat or anyone from WorldStar is welcome to attend the Zulu Nation’s upcoming 40th anniversary events to discuss what Hip-Hop culture is and what it isn’t. But until then Melle Mel and the Zulu Nation will continue its effort to recapture the term “Hip-Hop” from those using it to represent music, media, or actions that are going against the culture’s core principles.
“We are not going to let it go,” says Melle Mel.
“If it’s ours, let what’s ours be ours. And you just take yours and just do whatever you want to do with yours,” says Shakur. “Do it with yours, but don’t do it with ours.”
AllHipHop.com attempted to reach out to Lee “Q” O’Denat for a comment for this story. As of the time this article was published, he could not be located.
