http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Looks like The Notorious B.I.G.  nor Anthony Mason’s souls will be resting easily anytime soon. A filmmaker has turned the resurrected tale from “I Got A Story To Tell” into a short film. Directed by Aristotle Torres, Story 2 Tell borrows the storyline from Biggie’s 1997 song “I Got A Story To Tell” and flips into an 8-minute short. Some of the details from the song were changed but you still get the idea. While the film is shot nicely, it is still a little awkward if not down right foul that Anthony Mason isn’t here to defend his name. But then again, rappers are known to embellish stories so who knows if Biggie really robbed him in real life anyway. In case you missed it, the victim in Biggie’s story had long been a myth until Fat Joe revealed that it was Mason during an ESPN interview in May. Since then Diddy himself has confirmed the story as well. Fat Joe has since stated that he regrets breaking the news. In case you were wondering who the g...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment celebrated the one-year anniversary of their acclaimed album Surf   by delivering an unreleased song titled “The First Time,” featuring their closest collaborator Chance The Rapper . Created during the infancy of Surf , the tune clocks in at just under 11-minutes and draws inspiration from soul, gospel, and pop. In some ways, certain sonic pockets feel like a precursor to Chance’s Coloring Book . Ady Suleiman, J.P. Floyd, Dustin Green, and Cam Obi make the cypher complete, as far as additional contributors are concerned, with vocals and production. Additionally, today’s Wired Tracks also features a song from the incomparable De La Soul. Titled “Pain,” fans can expect the Snoop Dogg -assisted jam to appear on the trio’s forthcoming album  and the Anonymous Nobody… , due to release August 26. — Photo: Instagram — De La Soul ft.

Smyth and Rick Ross as they groove in the midst of women who seem to have grown up on cornbread and milk and have no problem flaunting that fact via lingerie and other exotic unmentionables. Meanwhile in the ATL, DoggyStyle South artist, Clay James, drops some new visuals for “Southern Playa Sh*t” where he and guest feature Messiah don’t exactly throw bo’s on em, but do get it crunk in a party that surprisingly doesn’t have any cameos from the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast. We honestly thought they were everywhere a camera was rolling in the ATL.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J “Banking While Black” seems poised to be the next topic trending on social media after what went down in the nation’s capital. 18-year-old Jason Goolsby was brutally assaulted and arrested by Washington D.C. police after officers confused his ATM withdrawal with a robbery attempt. Just before 6:15 p.m. on Monday (May 30), Goolsby and a few of his friends were standing outside of a bank on Pennsylvania Ave contemplating whether or not to get money out of an ATM. After holding the door open for a woman pushing a baby stroller, Jason and his friends decided to keep it moving and that’s when things got really bad for him. Reports TheWashingtonPost : Moments later, Goolsby said, he saw D.C. police cars racing toward him. One, he said, nearly hit him. The college freshman said he ran. Three blocks away near Barracks Row, officers caught him. One of his friends recorded the tail end of Goolsby’s forceful detention — two white police officers on top of the screami...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Nick Cannon has put out a challenge to all rappers out there to battle him next month at the BET Experience . The catch? The opponent would have to match the mogul and entertainer by putting up $100,000. Cannon took to Twitter last week to issue the challenge. As reported by the good folks at Hip Hop DX, Cannon’s challenge would be a traditional rap battle to take place during the weekend event that occurs during the 2016 BET Awards. “Yo tell your favorite rapper I got a 100k to battle them June 25th at the BET EXPERIENCE! #WildStyle Who should I get? These rappers scared!” tweeted Cannon. He added, “I’m gonna be honest with y’all, I’ve talked to a lot of your favorite rappers behind closed doors and they ALL SCARED! LOL 100k Rap Battle!” In Cannon’s initial tweet, the “WildStyle” hashtag could be alluding to MTV’s comedy show, Wild ‘N Out , which he hosted for years and engaged in a number of rap battles. Although the battle hasn’t been named as an officia...

http://ift.tt/1JBd83V Soulja Boy announced that he has dropped every artist from his SODMG label and that he is starting fresh for 2016. Are you willing to admit that you didn’t know these people? Soulja Boy did some house cleaning at his Stacks On Deck Entertainment imprint recently. He made the announcement via Twitter. There's no artist signed to SODMG. I dropped them all. I'm starting off the roster new and clean for 2016. — Soulja Boy (@souljaboy) May 30, 2016 God is great. So thankful for the blessings. And thanks for blessing me to see the snakes and remove them from my life. Needed that. — Soulja Boy (@souljaboy) May 30, 2016 It would be safe to assume that he’s making the move to make room for this supposed “$400 million” deal that he’s signed with online gaming company World Poker Fund Holdings.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Popular New York City music venue Santos Party House is closing down after hosting a Pro-Nazi band performance. Just a few days after Troy Ave turned Irving Plaza into a crime scene , another live music location is dealing with the consequences from their own controversial actions. Popular music venue Santos Party House was forced to close their doors after word got out that the nightclub hosted a punk music festival that was allegedly affiliated with Neo-Nazism during Memorial Day weekend no less. The Manhattan nightclub made the sudden announcement yesterday (May 30) after getting chastised on social media for allowing the skinhead band, Oi Fest, to play the venue the night before (May 29). Though many believe the closing of the Santos Party House doors is a direct result of the backlash it received for letting a Pro-Nazi band play the stage, part-owner Andrew W.K. has another explanation.

http://ift.tt/1QByqCy TDE’s CEO Top Dawg isn’t feeling the “support” fans have given Schoolboy Q ‘s newest single “THat Part” featuring Kanye West . Gone are the days of yore when a rap star would drop a song and fans would be all over it — specifically, supporters would put their money behind new releases. Still, TDE general Top Dawg doesn’t want to hear any excuses. ScHoolboy Q dropped “THat Part” with Kanye West as a featured artist and although the Oxymoron creator has more than a million followers online, the track barely sold 26,000 units since it dropped in early May. The song is to be Q’s lead single on his forthcoming album, which is rumored to have been completed since April. He and Yeezy even recorded a video for it, so the fans’ anticipation ought to be there, especially since the rapper’s last album dropped back in 2014 and according to Top Dawg, the people  stay asking for new music. Top Dawg put his fingers to work on Tw...

http://ift.tt/1TUww2e Nas and his money are in the news again. This time it’s for the state of Georgia slapping him with a $570k tax lien.    Bossip reports: Rap veteran Nas owes a ton of money to the tax man – more than half a mill to be exact. That’s according to the state of Georgia’s Department of Revenue, who hit the “If I Ruled The World” rapper with tax liens totaling $571,550 because officials said he never paid taxes on his income from a few years back…The other lien, also filed in March, is for $425,842 in back state taxes from his 2007 salary. That amount includes a nearly $60,000 penalty, more than $57,000 in interest and a nearly $71,000 “collection fee.” It’s somewhat of a trend to find out how much money Nas is getting through reports like this. In 2011, the IRS hit Nas with a federal tax lien for nearly $340,000 for taxes for his income from 2010.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The NYPD is on the lookout for a Crown Heights man who pulled out a stun gun at a Kennedy Fried Chicken location last Friday. The man got into an argument with an employee of the fast food joint over change from a purchase and attempted to fire the gun at the worker. DNAInfo.com reports : The suspect walked into Kennedy Fried Chicken at 263 Schenectady Ave. near Lincoln Place in Crown Heights around 2:45 p.m. Friday, police said. Soon afterward, in a dispute over change, he tried to fire the gun over the counter of the eatery, the police department said, then fled on foot southbound on Schenectady Avenue. No one was injured during the incident, police said. The NYPD released an image of the suspect on Monday, showing a young man in a tank top behind safety glass. Police did not provide an estimate for the suspect’s age, saying only that he was last seen wearing the tank top, white pants and black shoes. Excuse us for saying this but no fried chicken is...

Meek posted an image Monday (May 30) of Troy Ave being pushed around in a wheelchair after his shooting injury that occurred at Irving Plaza, and had this to say: The laws they made ain’t designed to protect us! “They like get killed or get a 100 years” Don’t let the press “gas” you to go against ya own people!

He didn’t watch it. Instead the outspoken rapper and filmmaker urged his followers to boycott Roots and other slave movies like it. In the clip he can be heard saying: I’m sick of this shit. How the f*ck are they going to put Roots on, on Memorial Day? They going to just to keep beating that sh*t into our heads about how they did us, huh?

To answer Chance The Rapper ‘s question “am I the only n*gga still care about mixtapes?” No. Curren$y still does too, a lot. He just released his sixth mixtape this year and his seventh project overall since December 2015. That puts him at an average of one mixtape a month this year so far.

In March he dropped two mixtapes within one week of each other, Weed & Instrumentals and Revolver  that also came with a short film.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Rapper Troy Ave pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and criminal possession charges in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday evening in connection with a deadly shooting last week during a concert at Irving Plaza. The New York Times reports that Troy Ave showed up to court in a wheelchair and asked the judge for $50,000 bail through his lawyers, who stressed that he had no criminal record. He was denied bail and commanded to sit in jail until his trial date. Per NYT : His lawyers, Scott E. Leemon and John Stella, said Mr. Collins was not responsible for the gunfire that erupted at 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday in a backstage green room above the club’s stage just before the rapper T.I. was to perform. One of Mr. Collins’s bodyguards, Ronald McPhatter, was killed in the shooting. Three people were wounded, including Mr. Collins, who was shot in the leg. “He’s the real victim here,” Mr. Leemon said in court. “McPhatter died a hero trying to protect Mr. Collins...

http://instagr.am/p/BF_7y2Yr2k_/media/?size=l Blame it on holiday boredom, but Twitter is skewing Big Boi on the Bar-B today over a meme that he posted criticizing the quality of motherhood these days. As half of the legendary rap duo Outkast, Big Boi has never shied away from sharing his views on scandalous and shady women. From 1996’s “Jazzy Belle” to UGK’s 2007 hit “International Players Anthem” Big has let it be known that there are certain ones that men should watch out for. But in 2016 it’s not his lyrics that are causing an uproar, it’s his Instagram posts. Early Sunday morning Big Boi posted this meme. The post features the “Florida Evans” character from popular 1970’s sitcom Good Times on the left, and a random woman in a peculiar pose in front of her child on the right. While Big is not the first to post this meme, he is perhaps the most high-profile Instagram user to. So naturally, when he posts it, more eyes see it. And with that comes plenty of opinions.

On Tuesday (May 24), law enforcement was called after it was discovered the office’s door had been pried open. The thief (or thieves) made off with computers (laptops and desktops).

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Andrew Schulz , the actor and comedian some might know from MTV2’s Guy Code and other endeavors, had some choice things to say about so-called “Gangster Rap” in light of the Irving Plaza incident in Manhattan. Schulz took to his Twitter timeline to criticize gangster rap and says it has more influence than people are willing to admit. Schulz launched into his tirade Thursday night (May 26) with a tweet reading, “Rappers glorify the thug life but take ZERO responsibility of what comes along with it.” He followed with, “Cowards and children refuse to take responsibility. People don’t get murdered at Jazz, Classical, R&B, EDM, etc shows. This is a rap thing.” The thing about Schulz’s statements is that they’re in sync with a line of thinking that Hip-Hop, a music genre traditionally performed and cultivated by Black and Brown people, is a hotbed of violence.

In the clip to “Gotta Lotta,” Weezy and fellow dred 2 Chainz have fun with the Mannie Fresh produced track and remind everyone that they not only did a whole lotta more, but also got a whole lotta more of everything than the average person. Like we didn’t already know though. And remember when the only thing you had to worry about was homework and getting to school on time? Fetty Wap sure does and based his visuals to “Wake Up” around those days when roaming the hallways was fun and strippers used to work the pole in class. Wait, what school greenlit that activity? Talk about a reason to go back to school. Check out the rest of today’s visuals which include work from A$AP Ferg featuring A$AP Mob, Maxwell, and more.   2 CHAINZ FT...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J TDE’s newest signee Lance Skiiiwalker has made his visual debut with “Could It Be.” And it leaves you asking just that, “could it be?” We finally know where that strange picture in Lance Skiiiwalker ‘s Twitter avi comes from. The hazy “Could It Be” video looks like something Oliver Stone may have shot in the 1990s, which is a good thing. In it Skiiiwalker is seen vying for the attention of a woman reading a book under a tree. After his costume-inspired distractions fail, he resorts to offering her an apple. But, eating the apple comes with consequences [that sounds familiar] as Skiiiwalker appears to attack the woman with a knife. After the attack he wraps the body up in a blanket and takes it out to a field where he proceeds to have fun with it. That’s all we’re going to leave you with. You should peep the video for yourself and decide just what could this scene be. Photo: Screenshot The post Watch New TDE Artist Lance Skiiiwalker’s Debut Video For “Coul...
