We all know we are in a recession for female rappers, but damn! Jacki-O has recently revealed that she was forced to give up her “nookie” in order for her to get a deal. “Everybody that signed [to her former label] had gotten their advance money, but when it came time for me to get my advance, I had to f*ck for my advance. It was ten stacks and I had to f*ck for it. So naturally it wasn’t something that I’m proud of doing. And I don’t advise any female to get into no business – be it music or whatever – and get exploited like that,” Jacki reportedly said.
“But I’m from the hood and if somebody offers you ten thousand dollars at one time to get out of the hood, and lets you go for your dream of doing music, you’re gonna run to that.”
What are your thoughts on these allegations?

HipHopDX has obtained documentation from the state of Florida that lists the “definition of real” rapper’s first real run-in with the law to have not taken place until two years ago, on April 12, 2006, when Plies - real name Algernod Lanier Washington, born May 22, 1976 - would have been on the eve of his 30th birthday and just beginning his ascension to his current status of gold-certified rap star.
The email printout of the documentation, which appears at the end of this report, was obtained from the Florida Department Of Law Enforcement (FDLE) by paying the $24 fee and searching here [https://www2.fdle.state.fl.
The FDLE’s criminal record for Plies shows that the self-described “goon affiliated, ex drug dealer” who’s “resume solid, street cred bigger” has been arrested just twice within his home state of Florida during his adult life, with both arrests taking place two years ago. read full story...
Im tired of Lil Wayne on everybody's track like the next man/woman and child....BUT THIS SHIT IS HOTTTTT.
FIRST UP IS.....
Lil Wayne ft. Mike Tyson - AMERICAN DREAM
Next up is Wiz Khalifa with a new joint you might remember him from the semi radio smash "SAY YEAH"...this joint follows the same trend witha hippop beat.Rocsi took awhile to respond so Mario was about to go into a video to give her time to think about her answer but she says “no, i’m cool.Dear Rocsi,
You and I have been together for two years and in that time we’ve become family. But sometimes we foolishly take family for granted and sometimes with family we take it too far. So let me say my dearest Rocsilla, I took it too far that Rriday with my comment and I hope that you will forgive me. You are one of the most beautiful, talented and ambitious people I know and even the idea that I may have hurt you with my teasing has made me sad. From the bottom of my heart I hope that I will never ever ever hurt you again. It’s just not the same. A strong man needs a strong woman, so Rocsi please continue to be my rock. I have to take some time off from the show now but I hope to see you soon.
Love Terrence
Despite constant denials from rapper Rick Ross, details have emerged proving the entertainer worked as a corrections officer in the mid-90s.
According to TheSmokingGun.com, Department of Corrections records have been released showing the rapper (born William Leonard Roberts) worked as a prison guard for 18 months beginning in December 1995. Provided by DoC spokesperson Jo Ellyn Rackleff, Ross’ personal information including his Social Security number was verified and proved his employment.
Further details show he graduated from the DoC training academy where he was later assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County before leaving in June 1997. The facility is allegedly one of the three statewide locations which intakes new prisoners. He reportedly was earning a salary of $25,794.34 upon his departure.
When previously asked in a YouTube video if he had ever worked in a prison after being called out by fellow Miami rapper Trick Daddy, Ross responded “No, that’s not true.”
Ross was unavailable for comment at press time.
The interview was recorded on Thursday (Jul 17), the same day the man known simply as Meatball broke his silence, explaining his side of the story in an audio interview which surfaced online.
Meatball, who claims to be somewhat of a power figure in the Bankhead community, alleges that Lo, born Carlos Walker, was very much involved in the melee at Crucial on that fateful Saturday night, adding that the rapper's chain was handed to his assailants by someone in his own entourage. According to Meatball...
I got word of this in an email this morning. At first Im thinking this got to be a rumor but after peeping it on several sites Im 100% its the truth. R.I.P SWIFT....story below
Popular female DJ K-Swift died this morning (July 21) in a swimming pool accident in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. K-Swift, born Khia Edgerton, was just 28-years-old, at the time of her death, although she started DJ’ing at the age of 11, due to the influence of other pioneering DJ’s like Cocoa Channel and Jazzy Joyce.

She knocked down doors for women in this industry, so humble and hard working. Legendary in the club music scene and the number one DJ in Baltimore. She will be missed." Read full story

Does Angela have the vocal chops to make it in the music world or should she stick to slanging fashion and foot wear? CLick HeRe to Peep
Ay Yo. If you're one of those people who think..."Mayne it dont matter if I vote or not." I got to tell you, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG! If you're one of those people who think the election outcome has nothing to do with HipHop, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG!
While most albums hit the net well before they are released I was surprised to hear Luda was dropping an Album. He makes my list as a top new school rapper in the South. I personally feel he is underrated. The fact that I havent heard more than one leak makes me all the more excited to cop the album when it drops. Big Up Luda. Below is an article I copped from SoHH talking more about the album and his up comming ventures._____
Ludacris’s new album Theater Of The Mind is hitting stores this October, but I cant help but wonder why/how the hell EVERYONE is getting their first listens, but SOHH Gyant. What the f*ck is up with that?
When my homie over Rolling Stone magazine called me up and told me that Chaka ZuluLowkey over at BET just got his listen and now I'm truly baffled. stopped by their offices to play a few cuts for the track I wasn’t trippin’ because “hey” it’s Rolling Stone. However, now I’m getting word that my homie
I’ve been inquiring about this project since the beginning of the summer. I’ve spoken to Chaka Zulu personally about hearing some of the tracks. I was assured that it would happen, however now that EVERYONE seems to be hearing it but me [I'm sure I am being dramatic] it looks like I will just have to wait my turn like all the other consumers.

The rapper had been suffering from pain and swelling in his left arm. The pain became so intense he went to the hospital, where doctors discovered the blockages.
Fellowship music! That’s what I like to call it. Indie Label Razor and Tie have the pleasure of being the new home for Devin for a one-album deal. “Landing Gear” is his 5th album and it’s a no brainer it will be a classic. Razor does metal and punk music but have stepped up to the plate. Let’s just hope they can deliver with the promotion needed to continue pushing this classic blues brother all the way to the top.
Now you may be like what the hell, “ the top”. Yeah dumb the top, Devin Makes classic music and being with a non-hip hop label actually might give him the push he needs. He’s an artist that can sit beside any of your favorite musicians and make real music. Put him with John Mayer and watch what would happen.
Ross went on record denying the rumors, but now even more evidence has emerged. Check it out below...
As you can see this picture is worth a thousand words. The people over at keepittrill.com scored this pictures of someone who appears to be Ricky RossAccording to wikepedia Rick Ross real name is Williams Roberts. And this is what they have tagged under his early life:
Rick Ross was born William Roberts in the lower-class Carol City in Florida.[1] At Carol City Senior High School, he played football, and he later attended the historically black Albany State University in Albany, Georgia on a football scholarship.[2] He began rapping around the mid-1990s, at which time he formed the five-man amateur group Carol City Cartel.[3][Source]
Ricky has gone on record as saying the following:
I don't know it looks real to me"My life is 100 per cent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this s**t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?"
Hip-Hop hit maker T-Pain has become more vocal about rappers using his signature robot-like sound as he prepares to drop his new album, Thr33 Ringz, this fall.
Afer appearing on on such major hit singles as Kanye West’s “Good Life” and Flo Rida’s “Low,” - both using his signature Auto-Tuned software - Pain is ready to address the copycats.
“People I look up to, legends who don’t have to be using Auto-Tune, they using it,” he told Rolling Stone magazine.
Translating his personal feelings into songs, Pain has specifically made a track “F.U.” along with “Karaoke” which has him throwing shots at “karaoke n*ggas” by singing “Your daughter told you to get off daddy’s d*ck!” Full Story
Raised in South Florida and the Philadelphia area, Storch is a high-school dropout from a broken, middle-class family who turned serious musician chops and intense ambition into a high-flying career. Vanessa Bellido met him when they were both in high school and he was a talented keyboardist.
"He always knew what he wanted to be," she says. "He would play the piano unbelievably. He was like, 'I'm going to make it, I'm going to make it.' Even at 15 he was an old soul. Real smart, real different."
While still a teen, Storch was a founding member of the Roots. He produced their breakthrough single "You Got Me," which helped Philly's acclaimed live hip-hop band win a Grammy, and gave the sandy-haired Jewish producer serious hip-hop credentials. Deciding he preferred studios to touring, Storch moved to Los Angeles to work with Dr. Dre. There his keyboard loops helped form the basis of such hits as "Still D.R.E." He produced seven tracks on Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" album, including "Can't Hold Us Down," which featured Lil Kim.
