Hopsin is not one to shy away from contreversy he follows in the footsteps of Eminem and will say whatever comes to his mind in his music. So of course this also goes for twitter where he just recently went on a rant about the state of rap music. “The rap and porn industry are the only professions where you don’t have to have skills to get in it.” Hopsin says and also “Almost every popular rapper right now started rapping about 2 years ago.” This pretty much sums up his entire rant “Most these idiots in the game are far from a real nigga. They have completely ruined the black culture with their bullshit, now we got the whole black race focused on the nae nae while still being broke as fuck and never knowing how to get out of the hood…This rap game has and always will be on some bullshit.” Hopsin is not happy with the rap game at all right now and hopefully he will channel this into some new music for his fans.
People often forget that Jay Z was at one time really close with Biggie Smalls early on in his rap career. In a brand new interview one of Jays old collaborators said that Jay Z actually had a whole diss track for Tupac but it was never released. The collaborator was DJ Clark Kent and he happened to be Jays DJ at that time “Jay did a record going at Pac but right as it was about to go out, son died, we performed it though. We was at the Apollo. It was… scathing. Crowds was like, oh shit.” Kent said in the interview.

It seems that Meek Mill is accepting defeat in his beef with fellow rapper Drake after getting hit with back to back diss tracks and the whole of the internet turning against him it makes sense. Though many Meek Mill fans were hoping for another diss track it doesn’t look like Meek has it in him because he has now taken his diss track off of Soundcloud. At the same time Drake has his diss track “Back 2 Back” selling on iTunes. This beef was fun while it lasted.
The hit song from 1999 “Big Pimpin” is in the news because of a lawsuit and now Jay Z and Timbaland will both be testifying in the case. Timbaland paid EMI a whopping $100,000 to use a sample from the song “Khosara, Khosara”. Now nephew of the original composer has filed a lawsuit against both Timbaland and Jay way back in 2007 but it is just now about to go to trial on October 13th. “The evidence will show that the defendants did not enter into valid agreements that ‘expressly and in detail’ — including indicating the range, purpose, and period and place of exploitation — convey the right to use ‘Khosara, Khosara’ in ‘Big Pimpin’. The evidence will also show that the defendants did not obtain the consent of the author or his heirs to introduce modifications in or additions to ‘Khosara Khosara’; therefore, any license to economically exploit ‘Khosara Khosara’ in ‘Big Pimpin’ would be null and void.” Is what the nephews family is arguing so keep it locked for updates as this can become a pretty big deal by October.

Previously Lil B was a firm supporter of Hillary Clinton but now it seems he has changed his mind and now supports Bernie Sanders. . “Once the people started telling me about Bernie Sanders and comparing what he was doing back in his younger days and what [Clinton] was doing, It made me kind of look at her different — not really respect her as much as I thought. She didn’t have any part in trying to march against segregation. She was just a follower.” Lil B said.

After listening to Meek Mill’s diss to Drake, rapper AR-AB took offense to hearing his name on the track. AR-AB just dropped his new song about Meek:“I caught a body before I wrote a rap, you’d rather hold a mic, I’d rather hold a Mac/Just left jail, guess I’m going back/I put a hole in your stomach, make ’em sew it back/I ain’t got a Rae I ain’t got a Ghost/I just got a plate with a lot of coke/I got a lot of tape and a lot of rope – why you diss me, need to diss Drake/That n*gga killed you, First 48.”
The “Straight out of Compton” director, F. Gary Gray compared current political message to those of N.W.A’s song: “I have a responsibility to tell the story as accurately as possible. I didn’t want to teeter one way or the other. I think it’s pretty sad that it’s still relevant in its relationship to law enforcement, but I’m optimistic that a lot of the headlines we’re experiencing will put pressure on the leaders and law enforcement to really change. We can’t keep going down this path, in the way that we’ve been going without changing. My responsibility is to the film first and it’s just pretty much a coincidence that it’s all happening at the same time.”
