According to the Hollywood Reporter Nelly will be starring in an upcoming reality show called “Nelly Ville. The show will “focus on the rapper navigating his hip-hop career, fashion business/co-owner of NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats and father to his biological children and his late sister’s children, all while balancing a relationship with Miss Jackson, Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s ex-girlfriend.”  The first episode is supposed to be airing on November 25^th at 10:30(9:30 Central) and the season will have eight hour long episodes.

While on ESPN’s “First Take” the rapper from Brooklyn, New York, Fabolous, was asked about the missing artist like Public Enemy and LL Cool J from the Def Jam 30^th anniversary concerts roster. But Fab didn’t really give any clear cut answers to why Def Jams earliest artist aren’t on the roster but instead only said there would be a fusion of artist from past and present. A long with Fabolous some other artist scheduled to perform are DMX, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Foxy Brown, Jhene Aiko, Onyx, Method Man, and Redman.

In a photo shoot with GQ magazine earlier this year there was some behind the scenes footage that has surfaced online. In this footage, that has already been deleted due to copyright, Kanye talks about his idea of his perfection. According to him perfection starts at ground zero and that he needs “to take things to a genius level.” Ye also talks about how he doesn’t mind being hated as long as he doesn’t have to stifle his creativity. “Most people are just satisfied with, ‘It’s good.’ Most people are satisfied at a 10, or something. It’s not to just stop at 10. You know, 10 is ground zero; perfection is ground zero. We need to take things to a genius level…I’d rather take the chance of being hated to bring that type of creation to the world,” Kanye said.

Over the last few days Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea have been having a social media beef that came about after Snoop posted a meme that Iggy took offense to. This lead to Iggy going on a twitter rant saying Snoop is basically being two faced. Snoop went back at Iggy posting more responses and memes via instagram basically saying Iggy is irrelevant. Again Iggy responded on twitter going on a rant and getting her boyfriend Nick Young involved. It all ended though when Snoop Apologized saying on video “I just got off the phone with my homeboy Tip, the king of Atlanta, and it’s officially over. No more bad talk. I apologize. Yeah, I apologize. I won’t do it again.” So it seems T.I. was able to sort out the situation pretty fast.

Even though Bobby Shmurda is one of the most talked about young rappers out of New York he is complaining that he is not making any money off of his shows. I talked about it in an instagram post last night that was soon after deleted. Since his Shmoney Dance and hit “Hot Nigga” Bobby has signed a major record deal with Epic which has got him doing a bunch of shows that included closing at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. Here is what Bobby Shmurda posted on his instagram before deleting it “Nah idgaf I’m doing all theses shows not getting ma money dey got me doing shit every fucking day so its hard to keep up Witt dis shit den I ain’t got nobody to trust ain’t no help in dis bitch I’m ready to go back to da trap be4 jail #RNS dats how I feel foh,” Shmurda is currently working on his Ep entitled Shmurda She Wrote.

The Detroit rappers Eminem and Big Sean have had rumors of them working on something together going around for a long time now. But it appears that the rumor will soon be a reality when stopping by Detroit’s 97.1 The Ticket for an interview the host brought up a picture that Big Sean had posted a few months back of him and Em. “I know there was a photo you posted a while ago with Eminem – collaboration coming up anytime soon?” the host asked. Big Sean responded with “Yes. You can expect a little somethin’ somethin’ sooner or later”

After listening to Kanye West’s newest album, the Def Jam CEO gives a great review: "It sounds incredible. He's focused, energetic, happy and making unbelievably great music. Kanye always wants to make sure that when it actually arrives it's at the best possible place it could be, that the first song is as big as the last. He's the absolute bar of perfection in terms of that. I tell him all the time: Some of his previous albums are still testing out in the marketplace as high, if not higher, than when they first came out because the music is still fresh to people."

Eminem is an inspiration to a lot of people, 50 Cent explains how Eminem has influenced his music.

“Eminem gave me the shot that I needed at a point where he was so influential that there was nobody more influential than him, I don’t have value for a lot of the relationships that I developed coming up on this journey, but Eminem is the guy. He’s the one. He’s been consistent with me the entire time and I love him to death. I’d fuck all the way up for him. I’d do some shit that just wouldn’t allow me to come back into a comfortable space because somebody was doing something to that was inappropriate, to this day…The only thing strong enough to make an Eminem record not work is the possibility of it hurting Beats and helping SMS Audio. It’s the record with me, Eminem and Adam Levine. That one is the only one that Eminem has that you could technically look at and say it didn’t work, because it was confusion for the Beats brand. It makes sense now that it’s a billion-dollar move and it was important to the point that it couldn’t work.”

As everyone now knows, Ebola has made its way to America. Most people have their own thoughts on the epidemic; however, Chris Browns opinion caught a lot of attention.

Chris Brown took it to Twitter to express his feelings about Ebola:

“I don't know ... But I think this Ebola epidemic is a form of population control. Shit is getting crazy bruh.”

“Let me shut my black ass up!”

With the hit single, Hot N*gga, Bobby Shmurda announced the release date for Shmurda She Wrote. Shmurda posted his album cover art yesterday evening along with the following caption:
“ Ah ah ahhh #PreorderShmurdaSheWrote on iTunes now b4 it drops 11/10! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/shmurda-she-wrote-ep/id928631299 … #ShmurdaSheWroteNov10

Snoop Dogg decided to post an Iggy internet meme on his instagram and Iggy did not like it taking to twitter to call out Snoop. "@SnoopDogg why would you post such a mean pic on insta when you send your body guards to ask me for pictures every time we are at shows together? my bodyguard stopped the fire truck that saved your friends life in canada when he almost burnt down the hotel. and every time I've ever spoken to you you've always been nice as hell, I'm disappointed you'd be such an ass for no reason." Iggy said. She has since deleted her tweets while Snoop still has the photo posted on his instagram. The photo can be found at this link to Snoops Instagram page http://instagram.com/snoopdogg

The rumors that Big Sean and Ariana Grande were dating have been all over the web lately. In an interview with The Telegraph Ariana was asked if she was dating Big Sean and she responded with a “yes” She added “He is one of the most amazing men in the whole world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother. I think the world of him, and he’s an amazing person. That’s kind of all there is to it.”

Tmz has reported that cops have been able to identify their suspect thanks to security footage but they are still not able to make an arrest at this time. The investigators say they don’t have enough evidence to take the shooter in and all the witnesses are unwilling to participate in the case. Police are hoping someone breaks their silence so they can move in on the suspect and get them behind bars.

The American Music Awards usually isn’t a big award show for rappers but the top dogs usually do get a nod. This year with Drake and Eminem earning multiple nominations makes it no different. Then we have Iggy Azalea, Beyonce, John Legend, and Pharrell getting nominations in the most categories.

While Iggy was in a grocery store, paparazzi snapped pictures of her purchasing eggs. Iggy and her friend felt violated; therefore, (according to sources) the friend spat on the photographer. After the incident the photographer made a comment about getting Ebola from her spit which lead to Iggy’s harsh comeback: “I hope you have Ebola, I hope you die. You're a f*cking c*nt."
