Nipsey Hussle is wearing some illegal jewelry, it might be a smokers dream but also could land you in jail. The westcoast rap artist is wearing a stoners dream around his neck, a chain made of 100 grams rolled in gold papers with a large medallion, ready to smoke in case of a emergency. The chronic chain was made buy a professional blunt roller named Tony Greenhand, sounds like a pretty cool job. The gold papers cost about $300 and weed around $3000, Mr Greenhands should make one for Devin the Dude, Snoop and Whiz but i would advise crossing state line wearing that chain.

Birdman has been the topic of a lot of news articles with the ending relationship between Cash Money and lil Wayne, who filed a law suit of $51 million and put some Respek on it. Now he has song writers to pay $3 million for jacking their songs, but it hasn’t stop his flamboyant swag. The music mogul purchase Toni Braxton a brand new 2017 Bentley Bentayga SUV, they say “its not tricking if you got it”.  Im not sure if Toni and Birdman are  dating and just good friends or if Birdman thinks they are dating and she is single but they left a hint on Instagram.

Music mogul Birdman has did it again, some how he has manage to short change more people, it seems he is a magnet for law suits. Birdman and Cash Money has to pay $3.3Million to song writers, its basically the same thing Birdman did to Lil Wayne in his $51 million dollars lawsuit. Thats no chump change we are talking about $54 Million plus,  would really hurt the company, but Birdman is not worried he is about to ink a mega deal with apple, maybe he can pay everyone he owes.

Way before “Hit ‘Em Up” ever came to his mind, Tupac allegedly mentored Notorious B.I.G. as he was starting a regional, fledgling rap career. An interview on the “Murder Master Music Show,” author Ben Westhoff said he has all the details on the early relationship between the West Coast and East Coast legends and says that early in his career Biggie asked Tupac to be his manager. The information was part of Westhoff’s findings in his new book, Original Gangstas: The Untold Story of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, and the Birth of West Coast Rap.  “People forget that Tupac was already blowing up, already a pretty big star when Biggie was just kind of getting started,” he says. “Tupac kind of took Biggie under his wing and tried to teach him everything he knew, kind of took him to school. Biggie’s career wasn’t taking off as fast as he hoped it would. And so he actually asked Tupac if he would be his manager, and Tupac said, ‘No I think you should stick with Puffy and he’ll get you where you need to be.’”  The rest is history.  The book is set for a September 13th release.  

The Suicide Squad soundtrack recently debuted at the top position on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart. Tracks on the project include songs from Eminem, G-Eazy, Kevin Gates and Kehlani and has sold 182,084 album equivalent units and was streamed more than 32.6 million times its first week. The film hit #1 at the box office grossing $135.1 million its first weekend. According to Billboard, the last soundtrack to debut at #1 was Disney’s Descendants, which hit the top a year ago. Suicide Squad is the highest-selling soundtrack since Fifty Shades of Gray hit the Top 200 chart with 210,000 units in February of 2015.

California rapper The Game could ruffle more than a few feathers with his latest track,“Sauce.”  Released this past weekend, “Sauce” contains one prideful lyric that seems to be intended to cause some controversy.  The lyric alleges The Game has slept with “three Kardashians,” most likely referring to the eldest of the siblings Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian.  “I used to fuck bitches that Usher Raymond passed off / Then I fucked three Kardashians, hold that thought,” The Game raps on “Sauce.”

Whether The Game was bragging by letting the cat out of the bag, or if he was bluffing, engaging in a little fictional boasting with the lyric remains unknown.  All parties have remained silent on the matter.  On a number of occasions it was rumored that The Game and Khloe Kardashian were dating, but during an interview with E! last year, the rapper confirmed that “Khloé’s just a really good friend.”  “Sauce,” which features DJ Khaled, may be featured on The Game’s upcoming 1992 album.

Young Thug is no more, according to 300 Entertainment co-founder Lyor Cohen.  In an interview with Rap Radar, Thug’s label owner attempted to explain the odd name change as a marketing/rebranding concept by 300 to showcase the evolution of the artist and suggested that there’s a commercial coming soon that will be the vehicle for the big name change reveal.  “Young Thug is not going to be Young Thug anymore. His new name is gonna be ‘No, My Name Is Jeffery,’” Cohen said. “And the reality is when you see this commercial you’re all gonna understand what we do at 300.”  He talked about how Thug’s new name is the next step as an artist, and seemed serious about the transition.  “Please respect us to actually segue and utilize his name going forward, ok? Because it’s important,”.  Meanwhile, NMNIJ is promoting his upcoming Jeffery project, posting a handwritten tracklist and some posts that hinted at an August 16 release date, which coincides with the rapper’s 25th birthday.  It’s tough to figure out some of the song titles, but the theme seems to be that the songs are named after celebrities, including Floyd Mayweather, Elton John and Birdman.

The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement ignited activists, politicians, and police officials to look for new solutions to the sometimes complicated relationship between cops and the citizens they serve.  Chance The Rapper is adding his voice to the topic of excessive force by law enforcement. The Chicago artist addressed the issue in a recent Billboard Cover story.  “There’s a larger conversation we need to have about the role of police officers, their relationship to the people as enemy or executioner, when they’re not supposed to be either,” said Chance. “There’s also not enough pressure on internal organizations that are supposed to police the police and on judges in the justice system who are supposed to make reasonable decisions.”  The creator of the acclaimed Coloring Book project has also been an advocate for ending the street violence taking place in his hometown.  In 2014, Chance’s #SaveChicago campaign forced a ceasefire for 42 hours over Memorial Day weekend. A year later, he took part in a non-violent youth poetry festival in the windy city.  The “No Problem” rhymer has also spoken with President Barack Obama about the My Brother’s Keeper initiative for male minority youth and criminal justice reform.

Compton rapper Tyga can kick back in peace now that the settlement with an ex-landlord has been reached.  PEOPLE MAGAZINE reports that an unknown settlement has been reached between Tyga and his ex-landlord, Gholamreza Rezai. As part of the agreement, the land owner’s attorney will ask that the bench warrant issued on Tyga be removed.  “There has been a settlement reached to the mutual satisfaction of the parties, the terms of which are confidential,” an attorney for Rezai told PEOPLE.

The judge could have refused the request to remove the warrant since Tyga defied the court by skipping out on Tuesday’s appearance date. Recently reported by TMZ is that the arrest warrant has been recalled. Tyga is said to have owed his ex-landlord close to $500,000 after missing numerous rent payments for his Malibu area home and leaving a substantial damage bill.  This is not the first time the rapper has owed up on some rent, just last year he was ordered by the court to pay $70,000 to the owner of a home he had been renting.  

Killer Mike has revealed that he’s unsure where his vote will land in this coming November’s Presidential election, but did state that he’s “definitely not with him or her,” in regards to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.  While speaking on the United States’ destabilization of foreign countries and its status as “an empirical force,” the Atlanta rapper shared his belief that voting for either Trump or Clinton wouldn’t change the status quo on foreign affairs.  “I do think our government has done a great job at destabilizing countries and creating enemies…If you’re voting for Trump or Hillary Clinton, you’re voting for the same thing. All of us as citizens need to kind of get over our classism and vote for the betterment of us all,” Killer Mike said in an interview with TMZ.  Killer Mike, who was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders, also offered his thoughts on the latest round of controversial comments made by Trump. Commenting on a remark Trump recently made, which some suggested hinted at Clinton being assassinated, he explained that he doesn’t feel that’s what Trump was saying.

“I don’t think that’s what he was saying…I hope that’s not what he was saying.  He’s batshit crazy, but I don’t think he would call for the assassination of another presidential candidate…My thing is Donald Trump is essentially repeating the same stuff I hear when I watch Fox News, so I’m not surprised by it.”
