Snoop's New Girl?

Rap legend Snoop Dogg has never been known to be Mr. Romantic. Do remember this is the same guy that showed up to the VMA’s one year with two women in dog collars and leashes… However Snoop is also a family man and loving father as we have seen on his fraudelnt VH1 sham, I meant show, Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood. However there has always been rumors of him running around on his longtime wife, and recently another one is popping up after the Dogg was seen woofing it up with some Parisian dimepiece.

Snoop was recently in Paris doing some shows when several pics of him and the unknown lady above were snapped. Eyewitnesses there say the two spent all night together and danced very closely on the dance floor. There are even some pics of Snoop and her damn near making out on the dance floor!

I gotta say a little bit of discretion never hurt anybody Snoop. This chick is bad though. I wonder if this is just a jumpoff or something more serious? Snoop did try divorcing his wife once already…

Hip Hop News: Omarion Dropped From Young Money

Omarion Dropped From Young Money

With all the latest rumors surrounding Bow Wow joining the Young Money roster, there have been even more rumors circulating that R&B singer and former B2K member Omarion has been dropped from the label. Mack Maine, the company’s president has indeed confirmed the rumors to be true.

For those who don’t know much about Young Money or Mack Maine, Lil Wayne HQ states:

“Young Money Entertainment aka Young Moola is an American hip-hop record label which was founded in 2003 by Lil Wayne. The distributing label is Universal Music Group and the label is an imprint of Cash Money Records. The president of Young Money is Mack Maine who took over from Cortez Bryant in 2009.”

Back in early June, it was reported that Omarion had just signed with Young Money. According to Billboard:

“Drake hasn't finalized his highly-anticipated major label deal yet, but friend and collaborator Omarion, who appeared on Drake's popular So Far Gone mixtape, has found a label home. Omarion has signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money imprint, becoming Drake's labelmate. Speculation about the signing started when fellow singer, Tyrese, posted a Twitter message several days ago congratulating him on his new deal. Omarion took to his own Twitter page just yesterday (June 1) and confirmed that he is indeed signed to Young Money.”

While keeping his comment brief and the details limited, Mack Maine told SOHH.com that the label had to cut business ties with O.

"Omarion is no longer with Young Money," he said via a written statement. "May God be with him and his future endeavors."

Omarion has yet to comment on this situation. I wonder what the reason was and if it had anything to do with Bow Wow joining the team? Stay tuned for further information on this subject!

Hip Hop News: Jay-Z and Beyonce's Bodyguard Get Physical With Paparazzi

First Kanye, and now Jay-Z is in an all out battle with the paparazzi. It was initially reported by PerezHilton.com that Jay attacked a member of the paparazzi while in Croatia vacationing with wifey Beyonce. However, the details are still emerging but have revealed that it was not Jay-Z but the bodyguard for both Jay and Beyonce who was involved in the alteration. Reportedly, the bodyguard has been charged with assault and destruction of personal property with a television reporter. There have been many different stories but according to TMZ:

“Croation law enforcement tells TMZ Jay's bodyguard has been charged with destroying personal property and assault -- based on a complaint filed by the reporter who got into a scuffle with Jay and Beyonce's entourage late last night. Video of the incident surfaced on the 'net earlier today showing the whole confrontation -- including the part where the reporter throws his camera sticks at Jay's hired muscle ... and the hired muscle throws the sticks into the Adriatic Sea.”

According to Hip Hop Wired, the incident was allegedly sparked by photographers and paparazzi and The Crotian Times suggests that Jay requested his bodyguard to do physical harm to the cameraman.

“As they were leaving dinner Tuesday night, the cameras were continuing to go off and the three tried to find their escape route by jumping onto a boat that would take them out to their yacht, but met hostility as one of the photographers proceeded to throw his tripod which cracked the bodyguard in his back. Everyone in their mind knows exactly what their reaction would be to a situation such as this but their bodyguard should be commended for his choice of response. Julius responded by throwing the piece of property in the ocean and giving the royal salute, along with Jay-Z, by way of the middle finger.”

Allegedly the bodyguard pushed the cameraman away urging him to not film the couple. The Crotian Times report:

“The couple was followed by their bodyguard, who pushed a cameraman away and told him not to film the singer. The daily 24 sata has reported Beyonce went to the city centre, where she encountered another cameraman, Dragan Banovic, 57. When the same bodyguard saw Banovic, he punched him, causing him to drop his camera. The bodyguard hit Banovic three more times after he got back up and then threw his camera into some water. Jay Z allegedly told the bodyguard to throw the cameraman into the water.”

I don’t believe in violence but when will the paparazzi learn to leave people alone. I’m sure they clearly got warning signs that said Jay and B were not in the mood for photographers. Hey, everyone is entitled to one bad day. Neither Jay nor B have yet to make a comment regarding this incident.

'Run This Town' Video Leaked, Beyonce's Cousin Tweets About Rihanna and Cassie

We were all anxious to see the video for the hottest single of the summer 'Run This Town' from Jay-Z featuring Rihanna and Kanye West. Little did we know that it wouldn't get the appropriate premiere that it deserves, but instead got leaked online last night. Unlike the usual video leaks, the entire video was leaked instead of just parts, which leaves someone on the production team in question. Too bad for them.. Good for us...

Like most of us 'TheBossMB' was wondering what possessed Hova to put Rihanna on the hook on this song. Yea we understand the business side about giving her a post Chris Brown come back song, but he coulda made a classic with the likes of Beyonce or Mary J. Blige. Like Beyonce's cousin put it 'she sound like a cat hurt in the alley'. Hey.. His words not ours..

Hip-Hop Defined

Hip-hop is a form of popular music that's comprised mainly of emceeing, and deejaying. The other two components that complete the four elements of hip-hop are graffiti and breakdancing.

As hip-hop evolves into big business, the four elements (emceeing, deejaying, graffiti, and breakdancing) are constantly being merged with others like clothing trends, slang, and general mindset.

Rap Vs. Hip-Hop:

Rap is a form of music that stemmed from hip-hop culture. Hip hop is a lifestyle with its own lingo, dress code, etc. In the words of KRS-One, "hip-hop is something you live, rap is something you do."

Hip-Hop Started in the Bronx:

A product of cross-cultural integration, rap is deeply rooted within ancient African culture and oral tradition. Hip-hop is believed to have originated in the Bronx by a Jamaican DJ named Kool Herc. Herc's style of deejaying involved reciting rhymes over instrumentals. At house parties, Herc would rap with the microphone, using a myriad of in-house references. Duplicates of Herc's house parties soon drifted through Brooklyn, Manhattan. Herc and other block party DJs helped spread the message of hip-hop around town and spawned tons of followers.

Humble Beginnings:

Some of the earliest rap songs ever recorded include "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by Fatback Band and "Rapper’s Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang. The latter reached the #36 spot on the Billboard charts (a huge feat by 1970's standards), thus demonstrating hip-hop's ability to draw commercial appeal.
