Atlanta rapper/singer iLoveMakonnen comes out as gay. The rapper joins a growing list of entertainers in the hip-hop industry making waves in the LGBT community. And on top of that, he's getting mad props for doing so.
The rapper took a moment away from music to focus on acting. But it didn't leave him off the social media to announce to his fans that he's now happy in his skin.

Let's pay tribute to iLoveMakonnen by playing his hit single "Tuesday" with Drake.
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.
I didn't watch the Dick Clark's Rockin New Year's on ABC. I enjoy the antics of Ryan Seacrest, Jenny McCarthy and Fergie. But sometimes, I just get tired of watching celebrities and couples making out at the stroke of midnight. I get tired of staying up to celebrate another year of being single, having lack of trust towards people and the disgust of the fuhrer coming to power in less than 18 days.
And I happened to miss the entertainment scandal of 2017.
Mariah Carey had another "break-break down."
The junk food media criticized her performance at the Rockin New Years as terrible.
Accusations of lip-syncing surround her and she claimed that ABC and Dick Clark Productions sabotaged her.
Dick Clark Productions slammed the accusation as absurd.
The New York Times report that the performance was a trainwreck. Malfunctions left her at a loss vocally during her hit song, "Emotions," struggling to reach notes and to sync the lyrics and music.
The trouble continued when she gave up on another her best known numbers, "We Belong Together," while a recording of the song continued to play, a confirmation that she had been lip-syncing.
This comes as no surprise that in July 2001, Carey had a nervous breakdown and was nearly suicidal.
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.
Rapper Yung Mazi had a lead sandwich and a hospital bill.
Atlanta rapper Yung Mazi was bucked in the chest at a local Waffle House in the Buckhead neighborhood. He and his girlfriend were enjoying some breakfast when a terrorist shot him mulitple times and taking off.
The terrorist is still at large and the Atlanta Metro Police are checking the cameras for vehicle and pedestrian movement around Piedmont Road.
Police say that Mazi was ordering the food when he was shot.
He is reportedly recovering from the shooting. No condition was released at this time.
As most rappers, they usually brag about the "trap life". Mazi said it est, he's been shot over 10 times and he said that "looks like that type of dude" that strokes fear in the weak. He's after all a "real dude" from the streets of Atlanta.
He said that he might walk around with at least $250K in jewelry on and not worry about people noticing.
Mazi is a devout Muslim and is the father of three children.
In his biography he states he was shot five times --- one bullet hitting him in the head and leaving him temporarily brain damaged, almost ending his life.
"When the bullet hit me in the head it greatly affected me. I had to learn how to read, write, and speak all over again. I'm still not 100% right. I tried doing my daughter's elementary school homework and it was hard. I couldn't count money. My brother had to send text messages for me from my phone. It was deep."
After this shooting, I hope he reconsiders the "trap life" before going back into the studio.
Troy Ave didn't escape the Grinch who tried to take his life.
While on his way to his family's house to celebrate Christmas, rapper Troy Ave was ambushed by a gunman. The rapper and his wife were injured by the attack.
According to early reports, Troy Ave, real name Roland Collins, was shot twice while on his way to see his family in Brooklyn for Christmas. A lawyer for the rapper says his injuries are not life-threatening and that he drove himself to an area hospital for immediate treatment.
A tweet from the New York City Alerts account reports Collins was shot in the arm and grazed in the head while driving his Maserati in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn around 5 PM tonight.
Troy Ave's second brush with death this year. The rapper was at the center of the now infamous Irving Plaza concert shooting in May that saw one person dead and several injured. Troy reportedly shot himself in the leg during all the chaos and was charged with one count of attempted second-degree murder and four counts of criminal possession of a weapon.
Troy Ave used his red Maserati on his mixtape cover.
He is currently on shackle after posting a nearly $1 million get out of jail free card. He faces that second-degree attempted murder trial next year.
Troy Ave is innocent until proven guilty.
Troy Ave newest mixtape is out. White Christmas 4.
It's unfortunate that even on Christmas, gun violence continues to happen.
There's no such thing as unity. The junk food media always promote Martin Luther King Day, Independence Day, 9/11, Thanksgiving and Christmas are symbolic days of unity. When in reality, its just another day where someone else loses their life to senseless violence.
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.

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.
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.
Shawty Lo is best known for the hits "Dey Know" and the "Laffy Taffy" from his previous group D4L. The rapper had connections to Atlanta's biggest acts. He collaborated with names like Ludacris, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane, Future, Rocko, Waka Flocka Flame and many others.
Shawty Lo's huge family will be fatherless.
The accident happened on The Perimeter (known mostly as Interstate 285), the world's busiest freeway beltway. It's known as the most deadly's highway in the United States.
The crash happened at 2:20 am and temporarily blocked the highway at Cascade Road.
The accident was cleared up.
The accident happened when a white Audi went over the guardrail, hit two trees and burst into flames. The driver was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead on the scene. Two other people inside the car were taken to the hospital and suffered non-life threatening injuries.
You may remember that Shawty Lo attracted major controversy from the junk food media. The rapper leaves behind 11 children from numerous women.
Conservative agitators like Bill O'Reilly, Neal Boortz, old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity threw a temper tantrum and forced Oxygen to cancel his reality television show.
Lil' Wayne pissed that Birdman let the Tyga loose.
Lil' Wayne is mentally deflated with the music business. He is losing his label and his acts. He was pissed that Tyga was let go from his contract with Young Money/Cash Money without Weezy's approval.
His old mentor has majority control of Rich Gang Music and Weezy's Young Money Entertainment and the move was unprecedented.
Bryan "Baby" Williams, known professionally as Birdman owns the labels as well as Cash Money Records. Cash Money Records was founded by Birdman and his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams.
The two started the label in New Orleans and they signed their distribution deal with Universal Republic Records.
Tyga is a washed up rapper who gained fame following Weezy, Drizzy and Nicki. He had some modest hits on the radio, but unfortunately he had a string of bad luck. That deal with Cash Money didn't help him score Grammy albums. And his record deal that wasn't living up to its expectations.
In October 2014, Tyga was first to express frustration with label. He was upset over the label not releasing his album. He was angry and vented off at Birdman. He also engaged in a public feud with Drake.
Drake let him have it. He knocked the rapper for his sexual deviancy and his controversial relationship with Kylie Jenner.
Tyga's last album Last King: The Gold Album 18th Dynasty was pushed independently with Kanye West co-executive producing the album. The album didn't fare well and it was shipped to the burner.
Tyga begins his new journey from the back.
Tyga who is struggling to pay his bills had got a break. His girlfriend Kylie Jenner asked her brother-in-law Kanye West to give him a leg up.
Tyga officially signed to G.O.O.D. Music and performed with Desiigner, the rapper who sounds eerily similar to Future.
TMZ reports that Lil' Wayne is furious that Birdman let the Tyga go.
Sources close to Wayne tell TMZ, that the rapper is fuming after Tyga was cut loose, opening the door for him to sign a new deal with Kanye. Problem is....he was on Young Money and Weezy had a 49% stake in his company.
The Kardashian/Jenner clan isn't pleased with Tyga's relationship with Kylie. The rapper is blowing money fast and they believe he's embarrassing to Kylie and the family.
Birdman rather make money than waste his time on a failed act.
Tyga's been warned by Kanye West to cut the games. He wants him to destroy his black book, take care of his son and get the financial situation in order.
Wayne believes Birdman's extravagant living has been a burden to the label. Lil' Wayne sued Birdman for $51 million in royalties and his release from Cash Money and Young Money.
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.
