Apparently, even after this interview, Ebro isn’t giving Riff Raff a chance. I wonder what made the decision go down (assuming Hot 97 really did this).

Geno Smith denied that entertainer Jay-Z was involved in the recruitment process before the Jets’ rookie quarterback hired the rap mogul’s Roc Nation Sports to represent him last week. The NFL Players Association has sent a letter of inquiry to contract agent Kim Miale, who was recently hired by Jay-Z and represented no players in the league before Smith came aboard. The investigation is ongoing.
Smith said after Thursday’s practice that he’s not worried about the NFLPA investigation into whether the “runner rule,” which prohibits anyone other than licensed agents registered with the Players Association from recruiting players, was violated.
“I don’t have any concerns,” Smith said. “Jay-Z didn’t recruit me. I chose Roc Nation Sports for management because it was something that myself and my family came to a conclusion and we felt comfortable with. And I’m happy to be a part of it. Here, I’m here to talk about football. That’s life outside of football, and what I do in this locker room and on that field is what matters now.”
The soon-to-be-jailbird Lauryn Hill dropped ‘Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)‘ last month, with was met with a lot of praise as well as a lot of confusion. Below, taken from her Tumblr, she explains the meaning behind her latest single.
Neurotic Society is a song about people not being, or not being able to be, who and what they truly are, due to the current social construct. I am not targeting any particular group of people, but rather targeting everyone in our society who hides behind neurotic behavior, rather than deal with it.
The world we live in now is, in many ways, an abhorrent distortion, an accumulation of generations and generations of response to negative stimuli. Many don’t even have a concept of what normal is, by virtue of having lived afraid, ashamed, as victims of abuse, or inadequately handled for so long. I believe in coming up from under that fear and allowing the psyche/soul to truly heal. I understand that healing is a process, but I also believe that it is our responsibility to seriously care for ourselves, so that we can extend that level of concern for others and positively affect our environment.
I want what is best for Humanity. Humanity, aligned with the Spiritual principles, that help each individual conquer fear, and transcend limited circumstance. I believe in healing and dealing with the traumatizing events of our lives, both in this lifetime, as well as those passed down to us, or inherited, so we can live as fully as possible.
The whole world suffers from a lack of honest dialogue. Character and integrity have suffered at the hands of political correctness and corporate agenda, while our society moves further and further towards unhealthiness and breakdown. I oppose these trends.
Everyone has a right to their own beliefs. Although I do not necessarily agree with what everyone says or does, I do believe in everyone’s right to protest.
The overarching message of my music is to get up and stop compromising! And hopefully it will stimulate and motivate the changes that our society needs.
Artists are constantly under media and public scrutiny. This is not a one-way street. Those of us with the charge of putting out faithful vibrations, have a responsibility to report what we see, and to write about what we know. I have seen some of the best and also some of the worst representations of human behavior. The same way that I exalt that which is high, is the same way I expose that which is abusive, in order to motivate and remind if not all of us, than as many as possible, of the Higher Calling.
This is pretty cool: Waka Flocka and popped the question to his main damie Tammy Rivera, who gushed about it on Twitter. You can check out a few more pics of the couple below (there are more out there on the internet, too). Congrats.
Happy birthday to my fiancé,” Rivera captioned the above photo. “Lord knows we been through it all! … An [sic] yet our souls still manage to find each other #GodOnlyKnows ”

Miss Diggins, who just graduated from Notre Dame and will now be playing for the Tulsa Shock, got a nice welcome party by none other than sports agent Hov himself at the 40/40 Club in NYC.

UPDATE: Video of the actual incident above (you’re gettin’ too old for all that, Big Boi!) with some additional post-injury pics below.
Killer Mike recently sent out a Tweet that Big Boi injured his knee, causing future tour dates to be pushed back to the Fall….given the recent news on the passing of Andre Benjamin’s mother, his rationale makes sense:
Guys Big Boi hurt his knee.Surgery today n 6weeks rest. Shows will be moved to Sept. I’m told.Dre3ks Mom passed n Its best we all home

Kanye West has updated his KanyeWest.com website with a teaser for his new song titled ‘Bound’. Listen to a preview of the track below. Kanye also (possibly) reveals his official artwork for his upcoming album.
From TMZ:
Jermaine Dupri is in jeopardy of losing his rights to the music from his So So Def label … because he can’t seem to pay off an enormous loan.
Dupri borrowed $4.8 mil from SunTrust Bank back in 2010 …. he paid more than half of it back, but then the bank stopped getting payments. So SunTrust is now suing Dupri for nearly $2 mil — the balance due, plus interest.
Here’s the BIG problem … In order to get the loan, Dupri had put up collateral, in the form of copyrights and royalties to the many songs his label owns from artists like Xscape, Bow Wow and Da Brat.
As far as we can see, Dupri still hasn’t anted up the cash. And it’s not his only trouble with $$$. He paid off a $3 MILLION tax lien in February and dodged the foreclosure of his Atlanta mansion TWICE in the past year.
Rihanna takes to her Instagram and seemingly takes a shot at Beyonce: word on the street is, since the start of the sold out Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, most of the tickets were actually collecting on third party ticket broker websites.
Gucci Mane sits down with Fader and he revealed that he and Marilyn Manson recently recorded a song together entitled “Fancy Bitch”:
“We made it whenever ‘Spring Breakers’ came out in Cali. He came to the sneak premiere, and after we did the red carpet and watched the movie, me and him went to the studio and made us a record.”
No word on where this track will end up, though Gucci Mane did take to his Twitter earlier today to announce a new album, Mr. Guwop, slated for release this Fall. Trap House 3 is currently available on iTunes.

I don’t normally pay that much attention to rumors, but the combination of J. Cudder and our new devotion to checking out KanyeToThe.com for updates has me on edge about this Yeezus album, and now I see this in AllHipHop’s Rumors section:
Word on the streets is that Kanye is actually making an attempt at re-recording Yeezus because of the lukewarm reception to the first songs? I’m not sure. I have not really heard those songs. As far as I know they aren’t on iTunes and have not been sent around. But, I think the second rumor is more feasible. And, that rumor says that Yeezy is adding some additional songs that are more commercially viable. Everything can’t be dark and gloomy songs about slaves and black skinheads. Insiders say that Kanye isn’t scared or anything. He’s just doing what he does to create the best product possible.
Remember folks: this is just a rumor that I simply wanted to bring to anyone’s attention that missed it.
Now, I’m going to assume that the Arab they’re referring to the one we all think it is, as a Google search of the listed name in the below article seems to confirm it. From TMZ:
A man was seriously injured January 9 in Hollywood after colliding with a Bentley that was making an illegal turn. After some crack investigating by the motorcyclist’s friend, cops got wind that the phantom car may have belonged to Soulja Boy.
Police have arrested Abrahim Mustafa … we’re told he’s one of Soulja Boy’s hangers-on. He’s a rapper who goes by Arab. He’s been arrested for felony hit-and-run.
We’re told cops still want to speak to Soulja Boy.
Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn't trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!

From CBS Atlanta:
According to court documents SunTrust Bank is suing Atlanta music producer Jermaine Dupri and his So So Def Productions.
The suit for $1.9M is claiming Dupri defaulted on a loan.
The suit was filed Thursday in Fulton County Superior Court.
SunTrust said Dupri took out a nearly $4.9 million loan in December 2010, but defaulted on the commercial note in May 2011.
So So Def was listed as the loan’s guarantor, according to the plaintiff.
This looks like it was done in Paintbrush. Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1 drops 4th of July.
UPDATE: TMZ has the dash cam video.
Chief Keef was arrested Monday morning after police clocked the rapper doing 110 down the Edens.
Cozart, 17, was behind the wheel of a 2011 BMW, heading north about 3:45 a.m. Monday at Winnetka Road, when a Northfield police officer spotted him, said Northfield Deputy Chief Claude Casaletto.
“He was clocked at 110 in a 55 mph zone,” Casaletto said. “The officers typically sit off on the shoulder and wait for speeders. He came up as a high number.”
The officer pulled over Cozart and found three other men in the car with him. He was taken into custody, and one of the passengers was allowed to drive the BMW away. Casaletto said.
Cozart was brought to a police station and was cited for going 110 in a 55 mph zone and having too many passengers, the deputy chief said. Cozart has a driver’s permit which only allows one passenger with him.
Keef is due in court on June 17th to answer to the charges.
Reports Rhymes With Snitch:
Bill Clinton has a secret son he fathered with a hooker – and the now 27-year-old young man is desperate to meet his biological dad.
In a bombshell exclusive interview, Danney Lee Williams Jr., the love child the then-governor of Arkansas conceived with ‘working girl’ Bobbie Ann Williams, tells GLOBE he fears Clinton, 66, who’s battling heart disease and also suffers from Parkinson’s, will pass away before they can meet.
“I read he doesn’t have long to live and I want to meet him face to face before he dies,” says Danney, who lives in Little Rock Ark.
“I just want to shake his hand and say, “Hi Dad,’ before he dies. I’d like to have a relationship with Chelsea, too. She’s my half-sister.”
Danney also wants Clinton to acknowledge and meet his five children, who he says are the former President’s only grandchildren and range in age from 10 years to just 4 months old.
You know, in the back of my head, I had a concern that — being that he’s Black/Hispanic and the women he dropkicked is White — he wasn’t going to sail out of this one. Even after the post-performance forgiveness. From E!:
Khyati Shah—the audience member who was accidentally landed on by the singer during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards a few weeks back—is now “considering” legal action.
Shah’s attorney, Vip Bhola, tells E! News exclusively that a decision will be made soon on whether to file a lawsuit against Miguel pending Khyati’s most recent medical results. He noted that the fan has been experiencing “difficulties” as a result of the incident.
“We will determine that after we have feedback from medical providers,” Bhola told E! News, declining to give a timeline on when any civil action might be filed.
The attorney also added that he has not spoken to the performer’s legal representatives, but did leave open the possibility of a settlement.

During a recent interview with online podcast Murder Master Music Show, the 53-year-old revealed his interest in fighting Rick Ross in a boxing ring for charity. From Huffington Post:
“I would take him too if we do it for charity,” he said during the interview. “If he wanted to go down, we go in and we donate all the money to some kids. I’d be willing to do that…Yeah, even though he ‘bout 400 pounds bigger than me. That don’t mean nothing. Cause he look like he ‘bout to have a heart attack anyway.”
You can read the whole story here. Believe me, it actually gets worse past what we’ve posted. From Daily Mail:
An 18-year-old woman with a necrophilia fetish had three-way sex on the corpses of two men who she and her sexual partners strangled, it was claimed today.
Joshua Miner, 24, piled the bodies of Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins, both 22, together and placed a beige sheet across them so he and his longtime girlfriend, Alisa Massaro, could lie together on top of them at Massaro’s home in Joliet, Illinois, according to police reports.
Miner told police he remembered ‘years back’ that Massaro had told him she ‘wanted to have sex with a dead guy,’ so he hoped to fulfill part of her fantasy, according to documents.
Adam Landerman, the 19-year-old son of a police sergeant, may have joined Massaro and Miner’s sexual romp, as well, the report says.
Patch.com released the revolting new details today in the shocking January 10 murders – allegedly committed by Miner, Landerman, Massaro and 18-year-old Bethany McKee.
Massaro grinned when her boyfriend asked her to have sex and initially declined. Later, though, she admitted that she agreed to it.
McKee told police that she believes Landerman joined the sexual acts, as well.
McKee said Miner was the ringleader who came up with the idea who kill Glover and Rankins. She said Landerman was a ‘follower’ who only did what Miner told him, according to the report.
After killing the men, Landerman jumped on their backs and ‘surfed’ on their dead bodies, according to reports.
According To AllHipHop:
Let’s skip pass the irony of the headline and go straight to the facts. 28 Year old Starkeema Greenridge is suing MAC after Greenridge allegedly contracted herpes after from Rihanna’s lipstick.
Greenridge, who resides in Harlem, NY was at a recent May 7th Rihanna concert at the Barclays Center and claims a M.A.C. representative applied a sample of Rihanna’s lipstick on her lips at a pop-up shop outside the concert. According to the suit, the MAC representative used “unsanitary” methods when applying the makeup:
“(MAC) didn’t use a fresh or new lipstick tube, but rather one that had been used for other patrons,”
Greenridge told the Daily News that she suffered loss of wages, “mental anguish and emotional distress” due to the ordeal.
Rihanna signed a deal to release her own cosmetic line through M.A.C. in 2007.
After announcing the collaborative LP in January, The Roots and Rock singer-songwriter Elvis Costello have revealed their release date of September 7th for the project Wise Up Ghost. The band is also planning to release their own solo effort, & Then You Shoot Your Cousin, this year.
