Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh welcome triplets to the family.
Mega producer and reality television star Pharrell Williams and his wife welcome triplets to the family. The couple have a son, Rocket who is eight years old.
Helen Lasichanh had given Pharrell the best gift in the world. The former "The Voice" coach confirms to Vanity Fair that he and Helen are "happy and healthy!"
Pharrell and Helen got married in October 2013. In September 2016, the couple confirmed a pregnancy when she stepped out showing a baby bump.
Right now, Pharrell is up for an Academy Award for his "Hidden Figures" soundtrack. He was nominated previously for "Happy".
The U.S. has custody of the legendary drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzeman Loera.
The ballad of El Chapo.
The Mexican drug lord who managed to elude authorities through elaborate tunnels and makeshift vehicles was caught last January. The drug lord who put the fear of god in those who weren't down with the Sinaloa. The man was charming and very nice in the public. But if you crossed him, you're head may be in a duffle bag.
He managed to escape the iron college numerous times. Some inside men and his crew were ordered to make tunnels underneath the areas where El Chapo was resting his head. When the officers let their guard down, he would slip into the tunnel and disappear into the night.
His first breakout was in 2001 where he ended up going out with the laundry. He would evade authorities for 13 years. When he was recaptured, he would break out again in 2015 through an elaborate tunnel in through the shower. He was caught in 2016.
He fought to stay in Mexico. The federal judges in Mexico said, "You got to head to the States."
President Barack Obama's last deed on the list is the extradition of Joaquin Guzman Loera to the United States. He feared this moment would come. His lawyers couldn't save him from the fate of the American court system.
El Chapo is heading to New York City to face drug trafficking charges. He will also face conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, terrorism and weapons charges.
On top of that, if he is convicted of these charges, he will head to Florence, Colorado. That's where Supermax ADX is located. The federal time out is the country's most toughest. You can't escape this one with a tunnel. They have the whole facility surrounded. Air, water and land are monitored.
The water that runs to the facility is monitored as well. They watch everything you do. The most dangerous individuals bunk there. Many of them are terrorists, gangsters, state and federal interns who escaped,
El Chapo was caught by the U.S. Marshals and Mexican authorities. He did an interview with Sean Penn. When Penn was given access to meet the reclusive leader, the U.S. were watching him.
President Enrique Pena Nieto agreed to the extradition. Mexico will allow its citizens to face charges in the United States only if the Death Card is pulled out the deck.
So it's likely if convicted, he will get LIFE in the federal time out of Florence ADX Supermax.
The Family Struggle. The King of the South is losing his Queen.
Clifford "T.I." Harris and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle-Harris are splitting up. Harris, 36 and Cottle-Harris, 41 have been together for years but married for six. The relationship was a part of this junk food media obsession with reality television. They had two reality shows together.
T.I. is a rapper and business mogul. He released nine albums and is known by many in Atlanta either as T.I.P. and the King of The South. T.I. signed a deal with Roc Nation to distribute his album through Tidal.
T.I. created Grand Hustle (known Hustle Gang) and has signed acts like Travis $cott, B.o.B and Young Dro. He also has a publishing deal with Australian rapper/model Iggy Azalea.
Tiny is a singer, reality television star and socialite. She was a part of the 1990s group Xscape. The group was apart of the golden years of hip-hop and R&B. They signed onto So So Def Recordings and released three albums on the label.
Tiny wants custody of the younger two sons and daughter.
Both entertainers had run ins with the law. T.I. famously became an icon of hip-hop while he served a three year bid in the iron college. He beaten a 20 year bid in the federal time out for being a felon under disability. The Feds came to his suburban Atlanta home four hours before he was supposed to perform at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. He said that moment almost "killed him".
He cut a deal to stay out of federal time out. He took a few in the iron college and remained on in-house for the next five years. He would get married to Tiny in 2010 after he got out of the halfway.
Tiny has been arrested for having more than an ounce in the ride and allegations of rock and snow.
T.I. also has done community work, done acting, started a charity for troubled youth and film company. He also was known to help preventing two men from committing suicide.
T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle is still on the air despite the two are ending the marriage.
Could it be a publicity stunt or another attempt at trying to "shock and awe" the fans?
Tiny already threw the papers in the face of the rapper.
In court documents, she revealed their "marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation." which means that she's at the end of her rope. --- More on the alleged guy in the bottom.
Hollywood Life also reported that Tiny had enough. "Tiny is no Mother Theresa, but she dealt with T.I.'s crap for way too long," a source close to the former pair tells the gossip site.
T.I. and Floyd Mayweather are feuding over the allegations of Tiny having an affair with the boxer. Mayweather claims that T.I. is the one cheating and he knows the women.
"She stayed longer because of the five kids, but T.I. took her for granted and just thought she would always be there and she didn't want to be stuck in that rut forever."
Tiny wants custody of the younger children: King C'Andre, Major Philant and Heiress Diana.
She also requested for properties acquired during the marriage be split equally, but wants T.I. to be held responsible for the debts acquired during the relationship due to his "high earning ability."
The couple does have four other children. Both are from other relationships.
T.I. hasn't commented on the divorce.
Tiny was rumored to be in a relationship with semi-retired boxer and media mogul Floyd Mayweather. T.I. hate this guy with a passion.
The two squared off in 2014 and recently. Let it be known, that Floyd Mayweather is reactionary as a boxer and does flex a 95 mph right hook. T.I. can swing 85 mph left hook.
Obnoxious billionaire Martin Shkreli brags about owning Lil' Wayne's master copy of his scrapped album Tha Cater V.
The scrapped Tha Carter V was supposed to released on Cash Money Records in 2014. It was Lil' Wayne's final in the series. The album was scrapped after Lil' Wayne got into a huge feud with Cash Money CEO Bryan "Baby" Williams, known also as Birdman.
The two have a major feud. Birdman also put the brakes on Tyga and others after they spoke out against the label during interviews.
Birdman also has acquired rights to Young Money Entertainment, the label that Lil' Wayne co-owns.
It just started trending on social media.
A controversial billionaire hedge fund manager and all around douche, Martin Shkreli claims he has the master copy of Lil' Wayne's album. Shkreli teases the viewers on his Periscope video, a single called Carter V.
Shkreli was previewing snippets of the album.
He is notorious for raising the prices on life saving pharmaceutical drugs that assist in treatment of HIV and cancer.
He is also notorious for buying the rare Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album from the Wu-Tang Clan last year.
The album was kept under armed guards, enclosed inside a unbreakable box, and is considered one of the rarest and most expensive album.
Shkreli bragged he paid $2 million for the album. The album would cost $30 million by most standards.
The group vowed to keep it on lock until 2103. Shkreli violated the clause by playing a snippet of the video a day after Fuhrer Trump won the election,
Shkreli is considered a hip-hop fan.
Steam was coming out of Lil' Wayne's ears. He was pissed that the album was leaked without his permission and he is launching an investigation into the matter.
World famous grill and jewelry titian Paul Wall was busted in a early morning "No Knock". Paul Wall is a hip-hop artist hailing from the city of Houston.
Grill man and rapper Paul Wall and nine others were busted in Houston today. The feds bust into his home and Grill, Tattoo and Jewelry looking for the weed, the hard and the boy.
Street slang:
Grill - Jewelry encrusted inside a mouth guard. Weed - most commonly known as marijuana. Hard - most commonly known as crack/cocaine. It's also known as medicine, girl, rock, snow, and blow. Boy - most commonly known as heroin. It's also known smack, tar, well and small. No knock - a controversial law enforcement tactic known as the "no knock warrant." The judge issues a late warrant for search and seizure of a individual or property. They use the county boys, the Marshals and the FBI to do early morning raids. The "no knock" means they can bust your door down and grab you out of bed. Usually it happens when the law fears the subject is armed or hiding incriminating information in a concealed area.
Paul Wall along with fellow rapper Baby Bash got hit up by the "no knock".
Paul Wall (born Paul Slayton) was charged with manufacturing/delivery on a controlled substance between 4-400 grams. That could put him in the federal time out for ten years.
Baby Bash was famous for the hit singles "Cyclone" and "Suga Suga".
Baby Bash (born Ronald Bryant) was also handed the same charges. Both were released on bond and have court date in late December.
The two are innocent until proven guilty.
TMZ reports that the rappers were among 10 people arrested when officers executed a search warrant on a Harris County location early Friday morning. The officers can confirm that THC was found.
So they were shipping weed under the table.
That means someone snitched on them. Because the feds don't come to your door at 6am for a friendly visit.
Paul Wall was spotted in metro Houston this week doing charity events for local children before he got caught up.
Well rapper/singer Nicki Minaj's relationship with Meek Mill appears to be over.
I guess he's not on his girl's tour. Taking "L's" is something Meek Mill is good for. The rapper's credibility was shattered by Nicki Minaj's labelmate Drake. The two were faced-off in the "Great Pop War of 2015".
Meek Mill was hammered in two hard hitting disses and he never recovered from it.
The junk food media reported that the two were taking subliminal shots at each others and unfollowed each other on social media.
The Philadelphia rapper even went as far to posting a mystery woman's backside adorned in a red, lacy, ensemble to his captioning "Sitting back like....$avage... just friends." The rapper deleted the post but it was enough to spark rumors of the rapper cheating.
Bossip reports that man in the city already that Meek and this boutique owner named Sonye were an item for over a year. Meek may have been using his DC4 money to help this girl get her own business off the ground.
At the time, Nicki Minaj didn't this girl was hanging around the Chasers. She thought it was on of his posse's girls.
Cheat Mill....Weak Mill.... Meeky Mouse...
It's a damn shame that Nicki Minaj was played by son. Meek Mill still a boy trying to be a man.
Here's the single Froze from the DC4 album. Meek Mill featuring Nicki Minaj and Lil' Uzi Vert.
The city of Augusta gave Dun Deal a bigger studio to produce his hits.
Make America Great Again!
Not so for great for rap producer Dun Deal and the city of Augusta, Georgia. He was detained by the state boys for a crime he didn't commit. The city loses money that could repair the roads, bridges and fund city workers. It seems like they'll have to do some retraining on them police officers involved.
Matter of fact, it might cost Augusta police recruits.
Dun Deal, born David Cunningham doesn't live in Augusta. But he's now a resident after he was awarded $300,000 in a settlement by the consolidated city county of Augusta/Richmond County. The feds and Richmond County Sheriff's office swore out a false warrant against the producer. They claimed his fingerprints were on a getaway vehicle involved in a geeking of an Augusta Costco back in 2014.
Dun Deal had no connection to the crime, despite a witness allegedly identifying him from his artist page on social media. The geekers were involved in stealing nearly $100,000 in jewelry from a display case.
In addition to the settlement, the Sheriff's office formally apologized to the rap producer and placed those involved in the freezer pending an investigation.
Geeker fingered Dun Deal in a jewelry heist he didn't commit.
When he was on social media he accepted a friend request from a fan. That fan was an alleged ringleader in the group. The alleged geeker Ronnica Westmoreland rented a vehicle. She let her fellow geekers bolt off with the loot.
Instead of reading the woman her rights, the law let her sung like a canary and she fingered Dun Deal. She should have clammed up and got an attorney before speaking to the law.
"She said, 'I loaded it to a guy named David.' David is a pretty common name so they went to her Facebook page, found everyone named David. They found a Black man who wears a lot of jewelry. So they jumped to the conclusion, that must be him," said James Radford, the rap producer's attorney.
"The picture that they showed me of me was with Birdman. They asked me who that was. He was wearing a lot of diamonds and they slid me the picture, and they asked, 'Who's this? I'm like, that's Birdman!" said Dun Deal.
In the warrant, police said Dun Deal looked like one of the men in this security video. They even said they had his fingerprints, which turned out to be a total lie because he has no criminal history.
While in Dallas, the FBI and U.S. Marshals intercepted Dun Deal. Undercovers arrested him while he was with his family. They went to his studio in Atlanta and swarmed the place during a 6AM Knock-Knock. That's a controversial no knock warrant. It's a tactic that prevents alleged criminals from hiding evidence or obtaining firearms while being detained.
"They threw tear gas over the gate, put guns in people's faces," said Dun Deal.
He spent 10 days in the county lockup and wasn't given a reason why.
The suspects were detained and pled guilty to the criminal geek. Dean Summers, Nikevion Curtis, Brian Bickman and Demetrius Pennamon were given nickels in the iron college. Westmoreland was charged for making false statements to federal officers. She is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Dun Deal hasn't talked much since the incident. Matter of fact he is now extremely cautious on social media. He hasn't accepted the friend request from people on Facebook. So I rather follow and see his developments. I am not trying to get him in anymore trouble.
"If he was someone else, someone else without family, without means without a father who understood the process, that 10 days could have turned to 50. It could have turned to 100. That's how people get sucked into the system," said Dun Deal's second attorney Caleb Gross.
Dun Deal produced tracks for The Migos, Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Future, Young Dolph, Blac Youngsta, Juicy J, Rich Homie Quan, Kevin Gates and others.
Known hits produced by Dun Deal are The Migos' single "Hannah Montana."
Here's the single Still Beating from Gucci Mane featuring Peewee Longway and Young Dolph.
The controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature fuhrer in waiting Donald J. Trump is building his cabinet full of well-established billionaires and lawmakers. He may put that controversial Black coon cop David Clarke as his Homeland Security secretary. He already put that pro-Confederate squinty eyed bigot Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as the Attorney General.
See in Donald Trump's America, a rap producer is automatically a criminal.
Thugger tears into Black women doing their jobs. He waves wads of cash at them saying that he's privileged.
That's the question I want to ask you about the Atlanta rapper. If a 6'3" heavily tattooed Black man would walk into a job interview with tattoos on his face and piercings on his face, would you hire him?
Jeffery Williams, known professionally as Young Thug made himself the talk of the nation this week after he disrespected two airline staffers who wouldn't let him board a plane. The rapper would then call these women "ants" and throw $15,000 at them to quit their jobs. Thugger disrespected Black women.
This video happened to show up on social media Wednesday night.
A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on
Thugger was poking fun at the two Black female workers after he claims they tried to make him miss a flight. Flashing a Bentley bag full of cash, he begins the video by explaining that he has attempted to offer the women $15,000 a piece if they quit their jobs.
Thugger got shade when the woman said to him, "You need to get me off of camera and you need to step away from this counter."
"These two ants are so rude," Thugger said. "Look--- these two ants are so rude, they're peasants! They're saying their manager is on the way. I don't want to talk to the manager. Y'all are ants. Your manager is a peasant. And y'all are ants."
Then after they women bluntly said no to the offer, Thugger said, "I'm giving you bums one more chance." He would tell the person using their camera phone "sink in" on the woman's hair.
"Their hair nappy as a motherfucker. Looks like African-looking," said the rapper. "Seattle, man, I can't make my show because I got into a little altercation in the airport with two civilians."
When he published the video on his official social media, he got hammered by Black women and the junk food media for his antics.
Thugger would later apologize for acting out at the airport.
So if this right for him to disrespect Black women, should we go after his girlfriend, his daughters and his mother?
Matter of fact, should we go after his antics which some would question his sexuailtity?
Since the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star became your next fuhrer, it's given rise to the -isms. Racism, sexism, favoritism and nepotism are alive and well in Donald J. Trump's America.
When it comes to being a celebrity, you want to be recognized for the hard work you've done either in politics, sports, entertainment or heroics.
This is a common theme to disrespect Black women.
Young Thug is affiliated with the domestic terrorist group The Bloods. He released three mixtapes this year, I'm Up, Slime Season 3 and [No My Name is] Jeffery on 300 Entertainment/Atlantic Records. He is working on a collaborative mixtape with Gucci Mane, Bryan "Birdman" Williams, and his official debut album called Hy!£UN35. He is the father of six children. He resides in Atlanta's suburbs.

When it came to Trump, when they mentioned his name, they said it because they were bragging about being rich. But then again, he became a part of hip-hop when these rappers disrespect women
The Soon to Be Married Couple of East Atlanta. Gucci Mane popped the question to his longtime girlfriend and surprised his fans with a surprise album featuring Lil' Uzi Vert.
Since his release from federal time out, Radric Davis known as the Gucci Mane is now the most sought after rapper. He can celebrate a bunch of success.
He semi retired from the fast food. He lost over 50 lbs. in the federal time out.
Atlantic Records quickly resigned him back to the label to distribute his albums.
His feature on Rae Sremmurd's Black Beatles might give him a Grammy nomination. He released Everybody Looking and Woptober back to back this year.
He working on the release of the East Atlanta Santa 3 mixtape/album.
Now we can eventually see Guwop walking down the aisle soon.
Gucci Mane proposed to his longtime girlfriend Keyshia D'ior. He did it at the Atlanta Hawks game and it threw everyone for a loop.
The Gucci Mane is probably the most busiest rapper in hip-hop. Last week he released an EP with fellow Atlanta rapper Future and now he got another release out this week with Philadelphia rapper Lil' Uzi Vert.
Again Gucci Mane is preparing for collobration albums with Drake, Mike Will Made It and Young Thug.
Is there a possibility that Waka Flocka and Guwop may patch things up?
Gucci Mane and Future release their Free Bricks 3 mixtape.
Since his release from federal time out, Radric Davis has become an in-demand act. He's slim and thirsty for music. So far he's released two albums in one year and three mixtapes. This mixtape release has the Future Hive buzzing.
Back in 2011, Gucci Mane and Future release Free Bricks, a collaborative mixtape on DatPiff.
Gucci Mane released Free Bricks 2 in 2013. The sequel with featured Gucci Mane and Young Scooter. Young Scooter is an artist who collaborated with the two.
Now in 2016, Guwop and Future Hendrix released Free Bricks 2K16. This unexpected release of this new mixtape is being streamed on Soundcloud. Gucci Mane leaked the 6 track mixtape. It has production from Southside Sizzle, Zaytoven, and Metro Boomin.
The mixtape was done in less than 24 hours.
Now this release is causing shockwaves across the internet. Guwop just released Everybody Looking in July and Woptober in October. He is also releasing East Atlanta Santa 3: The Album in December.
Guwop is working on collaborations albums with Drake, Mike Will Made It, and Young Thug.
Multiple reports confirmed that Ciara Wilson is pregnant.
Ciara is a pop singer who is married to Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.
Two sources close to the pair confirm to E! that the couple is excited to be parents. "Russell would like to have two to three children. They like a big family." The junk food media was on rumor control for the most part, but now they can safely confirm that the singer is expecting their first child together.
The couple married in July and were keeping the baby news under wraps.
Ciara could conceal her bump when she was spotted by the junk food media.
The good news outshines the bad. The feud between the pop singer and her ex is ongoing.
Ciara is the mother of Future (Nayvadius) Zahir Winburn, the son of rapper Future. Ciara was once engaged to the rapper. He was carrying baggage and his ex-girls and baby mamas warned Ciara that he would treat her like a THOT (that hoe over there).
The rapper was being hit for being a negligent parent. He is the father of five children. My second cousin India J had a child with him.
Future was facing a defamation lawsuit from Ciara. It was dropped by Ciara after she said that "she doesn't want his 'dirty' money."
Future often went to social media to express his thoughts on her. "That bitch got control problems."
While the defamation lawsuit is off the table, the child support isn't. Future is going to be owing up $25K a month for his son and probably all his siblings. The judge is also considering Ciara's request to have Future reprimanded for painting her in a "false light".
Future is the most sought after rapper. He's been on a winning streak since he's released three albums within the two years. He's working his new album due out later this year. The single "How It Feel" was a direct diss at Ciara and Russell Wilson.
Ciara landed a modeling gig at IMG and is working on a new album.
Conservative outrage over the Obamas invited rappers to the White House. Rick Ross came to the White House this year and conservatives are screaming that his lyrics promotes date rape. They are trying to scapegoat Rozay for Donald Trump's offensive remarks about women.
The conservatives continue to blame the entertainment industry for Donald Trump's offensive remarks caught on tape.
Conservatives are now once again targeting hip-hop music for its lyrics. They call the Obamas, a bunch of hypocrites.
Why?
Because they let pop singer Beyonce and rappers like Jay-Z, Macklemore, Common, Busta Rhymes, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross to the White House.
They claim that rappers say far worse than Donald Trump.
Here's a newsflash for the hang wringers!
Trump is running for president, not Snoop Dogg or Jay-Z.
The conservative outrage reflects on Rick Ross. Back in 2013, Rick Ross rapped on Rocko's UNENO. His lyrics, "Put that molly in her champagne, she ain't know it. I took her back and enjoyed that, she ain't know it." was controversial. It was advocating date rape.
First Lady Michelle Obama invited Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel to the White House. Lin-Manuel is a rapper/Broadway actor/producer and in demand entertainer.
Ross was scrutinized by the junk food media for this. He lost deal with Reebok and Pepsi after this lyrics came to light.
Conservatives are saying that junk food media ignored the Obamas inviting rappers to the White House. Rappers who sing about guns, bitches, money and drugs.
Did you know that the Obamas invited military, police officers, families of gun crimes, people who had medical issues, supercentenarians, the Bushes, the Reagans, country singers, athletes, poets, and offer tours to Americans!
So according to conservatives, rappers aren't entitled an invitation to the White House.
Conservatives believe that rappers should be in jail or in the morgue.
Rick Ross is just as American as Bill O'Reilly. He deserves a right to visit the White House.
Yeah, his lyrics are terrible. But that's why the Parental Advisory label is slapped on their albums.
You have to be at least 18 years old or older to purchase a parental advisory album.
Laura Ingraham mocked for an alleged Nazi hand salute.
And you have the right to change the radio channel, skip the song or boycott the entertainer if the lyrics go too far. Rappers know the risk of being too "extreme". Or do they?
Epic Records signed William Roberts III to the label in January. Roberts, who is known by the junk food media as Rick Ross, left Def Jam Records after 12 years on the label. Ross (known as Rozay/Yung Renzel) was signed to Slip-N-Slide for a portion of his time on Def Jam as well.
Now that he's fulfilled he obligations with the labels, he left them to join Epic.
Epic's hip-hop roster now has Sean "Puffy" Combs and his Bad Boy label, Future, Mariah Carey, Yo Gotti, and French Montana. It's headed by business mogul and singer L.A. Reid.
Rozay's label Maybach Music Group is affiliated with Def Jam, Atlantic and Epic Records.
Reid, along with Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled, Nicki Minaj, Wale and J. Cole joined Rozay at the White House this year for the My Brother's Keeper project.
The biggest voice on the right mad that First Lady Michelle Obama slammed Trump and him.
Conservatives misinformed their supporters about President Barack Obama constantly. They claim Obama doesn't pay attention to issues in the Black community. This often comes up whenever #BlackLivesMatter address another fatal shooting of an unarmed Black person.
My Brother's Keeper is an initiative to help every boy and young man of color who is willing to do the hard work to get ahead. It's well documented, but often ignored by the junk food media.
The president addresses these issues but it doesn't get "shock value". It's actually a conservative idea said by a somewhat liberal president.
Reid motivated Rozay to get his act together.
Now he rocking an ankle bracelet for assault and kidnapping. It was said that he was embarrassed by the ankle bracelet going off at the White House.
When Haitian American rapper/singer Wyclef Jean said to the junk food media he envisions rapper Young Thug as Tupac Shakur, I was totally shocked. I am surprised that the Atlanta rapper was given the mantle of being associated with 'Pac.
Young Thug is a rising talent, no question. He's affiliated with the domestic terrorist group The Bloods.
He's made his big break by releasing the hit singles "Stoner", "Danny Glover" and "Loaded" off the mixtape titled Stoner. He collaborates with Gucci Mane, Future, T.I., Young Dolph, Usher and Rae Sremmurd. He's an in demand rapper.
But he's no Tupac...
NOPE. NADA. NO WAY.
Young Thug's mixtape Jeffery is out and the rapper wanted to get a reggae influence. Jean appears on the album's final song. Speaking to Pigeons & Planes, the 46-year old rapper says he's found new respect for Thugger.
The rapper will appear on Wyclef Jean's album J'ouvert.
Thugger shows some love to the Haitians. Thugger named his child after the impoverished country.
"Sometimes you don't realize who you are affecting," explained Wyclef. "But he's from a project, I'm from a similar background. And he has natural love for Haiti, understanding the history of Haiti. Haiti is the first Black republic. He reminds me of a modern Tupac, in a sense---- in a revolutionary sense."
That drew a lot of attention.
People were pissed that a former rival of the late rapper would dare compare a newcomer to a complex but prolific rapper such as Tupac Shakur.
Any thoughts to the matter?
Does Young Thug have 'Pac in him?
Mind you that rapper Ja Rule was roundly mocked by 50 Cent and Eminem for trying to create himself as the legendary rapper.
Listen to the full mixtape. Purchase No my name is, Jeffrey on iTunes or your local record retailer.
Watch the video of The Breakfast Club give their thoughts.
There's a viral video online of a mom being pissed off at Def Jam's Vince Staples. The Long Beach rapper got Krystle Partido's attention. The mom from Oklahoma was ranting for 11 minutes about the rapper's song. She heard the song on a local radio station and she got emotional about this song.
"Norf Norf" just got more attention. I haven't heard the song but I will give it some attention.
Staples's Summertime '06 was released as a double album. It was released in June 2015 and it was critically acclaimed.
"I cannot believe this stuff is on the radio." She called the rapper's song "crap". Then she starts tearing up about it.
She reads the lyrics and said the N-word.
The online community went after her. She got death threats and criticism for attacking an entertainer.
However, one vital person in the mother’s corner is Staples himself. He’s saying that people online should respect an opinion that’s different from their own.
"I don't really have much to say about the video — I don't think it's funny at all," Staples told The Independent on Wednesday. "It's not right to attack someone over their stance, their opinions, and their religion. I think that's very immature."
Rapper appreciates the concern. He didn't condemn Oklahoma mom. He actually praised her.
In the mother's recording, she describes the 2015 track as "crap" and says that the lyrics infuriated her. "I remember listening to the top hits as a kid," she says. "You know Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys, and N'SYNC. Those were the top hits when I was a kid. Nowadays it's not the same, not the same at all."
She admitted that the curse words were removed from the track but encouraged fellow parents to pay attention to music their children are listening to.
"I'm raising four little girls and that just breaks my heart," she says while sobbing. "I tell you right now, music has a strong influence on our children. I normally never listen to that radio station, it's almost like I was meant to hear to let you guys know about it."
To be clear, "Norf Norf" depicts the harsh reality of growing up on the north side of Long Beach, where folks have nothing productive to do but gangbang—a problem Staples has tried to remedy by investing in youth programs in the area.
Oklahoma mom cries over Vince Staples song.
Still, Staples believes that the negative reaction to the mother's video underscores a deeper problem in the states.
"We already have a lot of issues between black and white relations in this country based on misunderstandings," Staples continued. "In my eyes, she doesn't look like a racist. She doesn't look like a mean person. It's not very responsible for people to try to take that and jump, looking for some sort of commentary on these issues."
"It's just not right that’s she’s being attacked—it’s not okay."
Partido was surprised when the rapper gave her praise. She was thankful that the rapper appreciated her stance and hope they could one day meet and talk about it.
Staples has often talked about his life in Long Beach and the violence he grew up in. He works at community centers when he's not rapping.
Atlanta's own Shawty Lo killed in a fiery car crash. The rapper leaves behind many children.
The junk food media is talking about it and the hip-hop community is mourning. Carlos Walker, known as Shawty Lo passed away overnight after a fatal accident in Atlanta. The rapper was 40 years old and was the father of numerous children.
His representatives announced the news just about three hours ago.
At first many believed that the rapper was killed in a hit-and-run. But it might be a self-inflicted and it involved alcohol.

Game is laying 92 Bars on deck and offering the fans a Meek Mill punching bag.
There's a feud brewing between the Compton rapper Game and Philly's own punching bag Meek Mill. The two are now engaged in a bitter feud and it's brought Game back into the studio to record another round of "Bars".
You may remember the memorable 300 Bars. The 15 minute freestyle pretty much "destroyed" his old crew, G-Unit. The Unit's consisted of Game along with 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Tony Yayo. Game took to the mic and ruined The Unit's reputation as the kings of gangsta rap It led to one of the most contentious feuds in hip-hop.
It finally came to an end when 50 Cent and Game actually spoke to one another about a possible reunion at a strip club.
One thing that 50 and Game have in common: Their relentless feuds with man in the hip-hop industry.
50 Cent had went after Meek Mill earlier this year. 50 took to social media to mock Meek Mill for being a failed rapper. He said that Meek better try a hand at parenthood with his girl Nicki Minaj, cause his career is over.
When they were cool at one time.
Now it's Game Time! The Hurricane is brewing and it's close to striking land.
He's released the single 92 Bars. It's landing punches. Also the usual name drops.....!

Game accused the rapper of snitching on him for an alleged robbery of Baja rapper/singer Sean Kingston. The allegations stemmed from Kingston being robbed of a $300,000 chain in June. Meek and Game were in the venue.
Kingston's camp may have gotten a drop. According to Game, Meek soiled like a dirty diaper.
Meek Mill has been hated on by nearly every rapper in the business after he took a major "L" in the great war of 2015. Meek had went to war against Canadian rapper Drake and got his ass handed to him. He's been the butt of many jokes since then.
Although, he's been putting out good shit, the memory of him being "bodied by a singin' Nigga" continue to be the burn that just won't heal.
Once again, Nicki Minaj is caught in between these silly feuds.
His Dreamchaser 4 mixtape/album is still on delay and people are getting restless.
Lil' Uzi Vert is gunning for the crown....
On a bright note, Meek released a video game and it's a pretty damn good. He still with the baddest bitch in the rap game. The two are living in Los Angeles now with Meek checking in with his P.O. every week.
Meek took some joy in watching Drake and Future be robbed of their possessions.
Drake was allegedly robbed of his stuff. Someone robbed Drake's tour bus of nearly $650,000 in properties and the law is investigating.
Future lost Ciara to Russell Wilson. Rumor is that Ciara Wilson is pregnant with Russell's child. Future's feud with Rocko gotten uglier as well. Future is suing to get off Rocky Road Publishing/A1 Records.
Twenty years ago, Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas. His death remains a mystery. The rapper left a legacy.
Today marks 20 years since the fatal shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur. On September 7, 1996, Shakur and Marion "Big Suge" Knight were ambushed by an unknown gunman after driving on the Las Vegas strip.
After leaving a Mike Tyson boxing match, 'Pac and Suge were on their way to an afterparty when this event happened. Suge was driving his black BMW when a pearly white Cadillac sedan pulled alongside and fired upon the car.
'Pac was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. He would die of his injuries on September 13, 1996. The case remains open and to this day, no one has come forward with information.
Many in the junk food media accused Orlando Anderson as the gunman. He was known as "Baby Lane" in the South LA area. He was a Crip member who was brutally beaten at the MGM Grand Hotel by 'Pac and his bodyguards.
When the video of the attack on Anderson came to light, they saw that Big Suge was throwing them bows. So he violated his parole and sent back to the iron college for nearly 10 years.
Anderson was later gunned down in a Los Angeles car wash. He was primarily the focus of the Las Vegas Metro Police.
As of today, we mourn the loss of Tupac Shakur, a poetic, spiritual, troubled and controversial figure in hip-hop. Hailed as one of the greatest rappers known, Tupac Shakur was a product of his environment.
His father and mother were both active in the Black Panthers movement. Tupac learned the rules of the game at an early age. He was artistic, gifted, intelligent and savvy.
He wanted to strive for great things.
His life was cut short at age 25. He was engaged in a bitter feud with rival rappers from the east.
Notably the Notorious B.I.G. who 'Pac accused of setting him up at a recording studio in New York.
That led to the great war of the coasts.
To this day, 'Pac's life is fascinating.
Note: Afeni Shakur passed away this year after suffering from a heart attack. Big Suge is currently facing a murder charge after he ran over a man on the filming set of Straight Outta Compton.
Beyonce managed to win the night at the MTV VMA's. Her performance was praised by the fans and the media critics.
She even brought the "Mothers of the Movement" to the VMAs.
Queen Bey walked the red carpet with several of the women featured in the "Lemonade" visual album -- mothers of gun violence victims among them. Midway through the show, Serena Williams introduced Beyoncé for an unexpected performance of several of her "Lemonade" hits. The album scored Beyoncé eight Moon Man trophies -- including Video of the Year for "Formation."
Of course her performance was criticized by that dirtbag Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani, a former New York City mayor and failed presidential candidate is a resident critic of Jay-Z, and Beyonce. He believes they're pandering anti-White and anti-cop rhetoric.
Giuliani is a former drag queen and three time divorced politico/pundit.
The daytime drama continues. Tamar Braxton is still angry over the cannon firing from The Real. As the show goes into another season, Braxton threw some not so nice shots at her former co-hosts.
Of course, The Real got real with Braxton.
Inquisitr is covering the ongoing feud between Tamar and The Real.
There a video that is surfacing online showing Tamar being a diva. And there were outtakes where she was acting a fool around the staff and co-hosts.
OK! Magazine says that Tamera Mowry-Housley is dissing her subliminally. She went to social media to throw shade at Tamar for her spiral. And people are starting to see the feud finally surface.
Tamar is currently involved in a domestic dispute with her husband Vince Herbert. Her husband of eight years have tensions on air and off. But somehow the law was called to their Atlanta home.
According to reports from Bossip, Tamar was looking real rough. The eyewitness who was not named in the report said that Tamar and Vince have allegedly "had multiple domestic abuse issues in the past" but admitted that "this time there's evidence" because of others seeing this event going down.
Tamera went to Instagram to show her love for husband, Fox News agitator Adam Housley.
The fans believe that picture alludes to Tamar Braxton's problems at home. Fans were calling out Tamera for being a "bitch". Tamera denies any coincidence between the social media and problems with Tamar.
Tamar Braxton has went to war with her co-hosts. She said that Adrienne Bailon and Tamera were being disingenuous to her. They attended Tamar's son's birthday party. She said that they were "trying to their asses".
Tamar blamed Tamera, Loni Love and Jeannie Mai for getting her fired from the show. The show producers said that Tamar was difficult to work with. They said that if she keeps up these attacks, they will leak the video of her acting out on set.
Tamar was disinvited from Adrienne Bailon's engagement party.
Tamar was dropped from Epic Records after her album tanked.
Tamar is hoping to get back into the daytime television business. She teamed up with Steve Harvey and is working on having her own show.
Benzino is a notorious figure in the hip-hop community. He is blacklisted by most record companies. He still makes music and parties like a 20 year old. Mind you he's 52 year old.
Washed up rapper Benzino is hoping to save grace. A dangerous figure is no longer on the streets. His nephew Gai Scott was sent to the iron college after he filled his uncle with lead.
A couple years ago, Benzino was heading to the funeral for his mother who passed away. The shooter approached the vehicle. The two got into a heated argument and then the shooting.
Benzino was shot three times and he survived the shooting.
We just found out that the shooter will be pressing plates for the next ten years.
Benzino used this shooting as fodder for the role on a reality television show. He was dating video vixen Althea Heart a co-star on the Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta.
Gai Scott the nephew of Benzino shot him during a dispute at a funeral. Scott was a member of Benzino's rap posse.
The two got into a heated fight with Stevie J and Joseline. VH-1 decided to fire Benzino and Althea out the cannon after this.
Since that altercation, many networks didn't want much to do with him.
Benzino decided to father a child with Althea. Now they had planned on getting married but his temper and the code of the streets kept this relationship on the rocks. They ended up on Marriage Boot Camp to repair their relationship. It didn't work.
Now they're not together and he's still trying to stay relevant.
Since his cannon firing from Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta, Benzino has taken his talents to Black owned TV One. He is now on TV One's The Next 15. It's basically a reality show that deals with entertainers who are struggling to stay in the limelight.
Benzino is most famous for his feud with Eminem. At one time, he used The Source Magazine as a weapon against the rapper. Benzino was co owner of the magazine with Dave Mays, a Harvard educated White man.
Mays, Jon Scheter, James Bernard and Ed Young founded the magazine in 1988.
They had a bitter fallout when Mays wanted to give Benzino an opportunity to grow by selflessly promoting his terrible ideas. Mays and Benzino nearly destroyed The Source in this war with Eminem. The shareholders fired the two out the cannon in 2006.
Benzino and Mays would create Hip Hop Weekly, a New York Post style gossip rag.
Benzino is a one hit wonder. His only song, Rock The Party was the only single to make it in Billboard's top ten hits of the week.
Here's Would You, a single off Benzino's Redemption album. The album features guest vocals from actress LisaRaye McCoy. The actress/model tried a hand at rapping. She was promoted at one time to host The Source Magazine's: All Access television show on UPN.
