Wack 100 Argues Kendrick Lamar Didn’t Really Unite LA Gangs At “The Pop Out”

by

Wack 100 says Kendrick Lamar didn’t truly unite the Los Angeles gangs during his The Pop Out – Ken & Friends concert, last month. Instead, appearing on VladTV, Wack argued that the group on stage was primarily comprised of Bloods and only about 10% represented other gangs.

“I don’t think Kendrick set out to unite the Crips and Bloods,” he explained. “That wasn’t his angle. I think Kendrick set out to pull up those up-and-coming, underground artists of greater L.A.” He further added: “I don’t think Kendrick’s whole thing was to unite the Crips and Bloods. His whole thing was to show unity amongst all. And, guess what? If you one of those that’s been hustling and been getting it, and you just so happen to be a Crip, or Blood, or whatever you may be, it’s ‘Come on. We welcoming all with open arms.’” He went on to admit that it was still a “monumental” moment.

Despite performing his diss tracks aimed at Drake, including “Not Like Us” several times over, Lamar clarified on stage that the night wasn’t only about his battle with the Toronto rapper. “This sh*t got nothing to do with no song at this point, nothing to do with no back and forth records, it got everything to do with this moment right here,” Lamar said. “That’s what this was about. To bring all of us together.”

Mase Recalls Being Trapped By Bloods After The Notorious B.I.G.’s Death

by

Mase says that a crew of about 70 Bloods pinned him down in a hotel in Los Angeles following the killing of The Notorious B.I.G. During the latest episode of his sports talk show with Cam’ron, It Is What It Is, Mase recalled the scary incident. He began by joking that it sounded like a Keefe D topic.

“I was in a hotel, I was actually in a hotel with a young lady,” he began, before elaborating, “I was trapped in the hotel. It was about, probably like, 70 or so Bloods in the hallway. I couldn’t even leave my room. After Big got killed, they were probably looking for more Bad Boy artists. And I couldn’t even leave the room ’til Gene Deal [Diddy’s former bodyguard] had to come get me.”

Afterward, Cam’ron remarked: “Damn, that’s fucked up. Sorry.” Mase then continued: “I was left in L.A. And from that day, I always said, ‘I’m outta here. I was left! I came there with people; I ain’t leave with those people. You know how it goes. Find your way home.” As for how he eventually got back, he explained: “To my recollection, I think we had to go to Vegas or something like that to get back to New York.” Check out the full episode of It Is What It Is below.

Mase Recalls The Night Biggie Died

The Notorious B.I.G. was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles back on March 9, 1997. The 24-year-old had been leaving a Soul Train Awards afterparty when the shooting went down. At a red light, a group inside a Chevy Impala pulled up alongside his GMC Suburban and opened fire. Over two decades later, the case remains unsolved.

1090 Jake Continues Wack 100 Beef With Instagram Diss

by

1090 Jake has dropped yet another diss against producer Wack 100 as the beef between the two men continues. They recently clashed on the No Jumper podcast, when host Adam22 called Jake while interviewing Wack. “I’m with Wack, you don’t have to talk to us, but he wanted me to call you. How do you feel about this?” Adam22 told 1090 Jake over the phone, which Wack 100 pushed back on. “Man, fuck Wack, Tell him I said ‘Suck my dick.’” “What?” Wack responded, reaching out for Adam’s phone. “Let me see what’s happening, what’s up, homie? Give me the thing, what’s up, homie?”

However, as soon as 1090 Jake finished his statement, he hung up on them, not sticking around for the heat in the kitchen. “I’m finna tell him I respect him, bro,” Wack posited. “You’re gonna text him and say ‘Hey, this is Wack, I respect you’? You better, like, spell a word wrong or something so he knows it’s not me,” Adam replied, and then received the phone back from Wack and read the message he wrote Jake. “He wrote ‘This is Wack, eat a d**k twice.” “Westside!” Wack exclaimed. “Yo, he blocking your number. Yeah, that’s how you destroy white boy to white boy communication!”

1090 Jake Takes Shots At Wack, 6ix9ine

Jake appears far from done with the beef, as he took to Instagram to take more shots at Wack. Skinny ain’t from the 9 nomore & Tekashi was never Billy them boys Pacoima Piru now.” This came after Wack claimed that he had beaten Jake at his own game. But Jake wanted to prove that wasn’t the case, taking shots at Wack’s credibility and connection to the streets. Pacoima Piru refers to a Bloods chapter found in the San Fernando Valley.

It appears that this beef isn’t going away anytime soon. Wack views himself as an OG with little time for contemporary upstarts like Jake. Meanwhile, Jake views Wack as out of touch and hypocritical. Naming dropping 6ix9ine in his latest diss shows that he doesn’t believe that Wack practices what he preaches if he’ll work with an alleged snitch like 6ix9ine. This beef continues to develop and we’ll have any updates on a response from Wack right here at HotNewHipHop.

Snoop Dogg’s Storefront Vandalized With Anti-Crip Graffiti

by

Iconic rapper Snoop Dogg recently had his Funko Pop! store, “Tha Dogg House,” vandalized. The Inglewood, CA location was vandalized sometime at the end of last week, and has links to the rapper’s affiliation with SoCal street gang the Crips. The vandalism included anti-Crip messaging in red paint, likely a reference to Crips’ rival gang, the Bloods. One message included “CK,” or “Crips killer.” Snoop’s mural posted in front of the store was also covered with red paint. The storefront has already been cleaned up.

Snoop Dogg’s store opened in January of this year, selling Funko Pop! and GOLD figurines based on the rapper and his life. “Tha Dogg House” was created shortly after a partnership between Funko Pop! and Snoop was announced. Prior to opening day, Snoop Dogg shared about the venture, “This new store stays true to who I am as an entrepreneur and rapper.” He added, “I can’t wait for my fans to experience, touch, and feel it. Once you see it, it’s like no other thing in the world. ‘Tha Dogg House’ will blow your mind.”

CEO of Funko Pop! Andrew Perlmutter also said about the venture, “Snoop Dogg is an entertainment powerhouse and remains one of the most innovative and versatile figures in the entertainment industry.” He added, “We look forward to the debut of our newest retail experience and our partnership with Snoop whose expertise and impact on pop culture further elevates the brand’s opportunity to connect with fandoms within music and sports.”

Last week, Snoop Dogg teamed up with up-and-coming rapper Scar Lip to share a remix of one of her tracks. The remix of “This Is New York” is called “This Is Cali,” and came shortly after Scar Lip shared the DMs of her asking Snoop to collaborate. Her message read, “Hey Snoop, I’m a big fan & love your music. I have a song called ‘This is New York,’ and wanted to know if you’d get on the remix.” Snoop replied, saying, “F*ck yes.” She later shared a screenshot of the two rappers FaceTiming, revealing that fans could expect to see the remix soon.

Jay-Z Had Bloods In The Studio Because Of Jim Jones, The Latter Claims

by

Recently on The Amazing AllHipHop podcast, Jim Jones spoke to Chuck Creekmur about a lot of different topics. One particular story he told regarded his time at Baseline Studios, the now-defunct studio that Roc-A-Fella called its home in midtown Manhattan. Originally, the studio was owned by Jay-Z and O.G. Juan, and spent its last years under Just Blaze’s supervision before closing in 2010. Furthermore, the Dipset MC fondly recalled his time with Jay at Baseline, and gave listeners an interesting anecdote that meshed the music game and the streets. Around the 42-minute mark in his conversation with AllHipHop, Jones explained how he’d pull up to the studio with a lot of Bloods.

Of course, Hov’s aspirational and detailed brand of hip-hop built an acumen that enabled him to speak to the streets as much as he was straying further from them into billionaire status. However, that was a tightrope walk that he balanced all throughout his career, even to this day as he tries to inspire others to “make it out.” Regardless, Jay-Z apparently wanted a certain level of respect from gang members visiting the stu, according to Jim Jones.

Jim Jones Brought Bloods To Jay-Z’s Studio

“We were right in Harlem so we ain’t have to cross no bridges or nothing to get there,” Jim Jones remarked. “It was literally a seven-minute ride to get down there. We used to come in there all the time. Me piling in there with like 20 Bloods with me. [Jay-Z] looking at me like I’m crazy. One day I came in there with so many Bloods, Jay was like, ‘Come here, come here, come here.’ Like he was my uncle.“

“I’m not worried about all the Bloods you bring here.’” Jay-Z reportedly told Jim Jones. “I don’t care about none of that. But when you bring the gangsters in here, make sure the gangsters holler at me before anything else ’cause this is my house.” Later in the interview, Jones also reflected on gambling with The Blueprint MC and Memphis Bleek and other wild tales. Check out the full interview above and come back to HNHH for the latest updates and tales from Jim Jones and Jay-Z.
