Hi-Tek – Where U Been (Video)

I keep seeing this video pop off, and although it’s YouTube date is confusing me (December ’13), it’s apparently new. Check out the latest from the Cincinnati legend above.

P.S. How about another Reflection Eternal (or anything where Hi-Tek stays behind the boards and off the microphone)?

Birdman Might Be Getting Into The Boxing Business; Spotted With Manny Pacquiao

From Knockout Nation:

Manny Pacquiao is getting ready for his big rematch fight with Tim Bradley later this spring. And, while the heat is increasing in temperature, something else happened yesterday. Baby, the CEO of Cash Money, paid Pac Man a visit. Nobody really knows why and a lot of folks in the boxing community have balked at the notion of Birdman even being around the champ. Nevertheless, there are rumors already sprouting that one of Cash Money is going to be leading Manny in the ring for his April 12 rematch with Bradley.

But, on the flip side, there are rumors that Bradley will be escorted out to the ring by an underground emcee with a lot of clout. We can’t say right now, but this rapper’s stock will jump in leap and bounds after this one.

KUALA LUMPUR: Six people have died while three others are in critical condition due to methamphetamine overdose at the Future Music Festival Asia 2014 at Bukit Jalil Stadium.

City police chief Senior Deputy Comm Datuk Mohmad Salleh said the nine, ages from 21 to 28, collapsed during Friday’s event after consuming drugs at around 1.30am.

Another four people, two of whom are in a coma, are in critical condition at both hospitals SDCP Mohmad said.

“All tested positive for high levels of drugs and the deaths have been classified as overdose.

“Throughout the two-days we arrested 22 people, three foreigners and seven locals, in possession of narcotics.

“In view of this incident and for the interest of public safety, we have advised the organisers to cancel Saturday’s event. Those who bought tickets should contact the organisers for refunds,” Mohmad said.

Headliners for this year’s festival included Deadmau5, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pharrell, the latter of which didn’t perform due to the festival’s cancellation.

Delaware Rapper Comes Under Fire For Using Unauthorized ScHoolboy Q Verse; Rapper Responds

Interesting story here…

Delaware emcee Jem Cretes recently dropped a tune featuring ScHoolboy Q titled ‘Hustle 101‘…after several websites posted the song, ScHoolboy Q then took to his Twitter to not only condemn the track, but he also threatened to have Black Hippy boycott all sites that supported the track’s release.

Needless to say, a large majority pulled the song.

Jem Cretes (as well as another individual involved with the track) responded in defense; you can check all of that up top. Cretes even dropped a response in-song that you can check out here.

Who knows who’s lying, but it’s definitely a tough situation for the accused at this point. Sheesh.

50 Cent Has One Artist Left On His List To “Get Rid Of”

And I’m sure that we can all guess who that artist might be….from Complex:

Earlier this week, Complex News had the opportunity to sit down with 50 Cent in the leadup to the forthcoming release of his first album in almost five years, Animal Ambition. And 50—who has a way with a good quote—didn’t dissapoint. He talked to Complex about what it’s like to destroy another artist, and how former adversaries Jadakiss and Styles P ended up on the new record.

Which also ended up with 50 recalling the old Jay Z vs. Nas beef. And telling us that there’s still someone out there he has yet to “get rid of.” Check the video above, and keep it tuned to Complex News for the final piece in our three-part interview with 50 Cent.
