NYC and beyond has been waiting all year for Uncle Murda’s hgihly anticipated “Rap Up 2022” just to see what rappers, entertainers and public figures the East New York, Brooklyn native was going to respectfully disrespect.

XXXTentacion’s 2018 murder in South Florida will soon see justice with a January 9, 2023 trial date, however, the request by one of the co-defendants accused of the killing to subpoena Drake has intensified, with his lawyer filing a formal request to have Drake and DJ Akademiks testify in court claiming their alleged involvement.
Mauricio Padilla, the attorney for Dedrick Williams, one of the four men accused of fatally shooting XXXTentacion, submitted a request to Broward County Circuit Judge Michael Usan to have Drake and DJ Akademiks subpoenaed to court. The submitted document says, “The testimony of the said Aubrey Drake Graham is material to the case, and it is necessary to take the deposition of the said Aubrey Drake Graham to prevent the failure of justice.”
It was well known that Drake and XXXTencion had beef before his death, with X accusing Drizzy of stealing his style and now Williams’ attorney alleges that Drake spoke on X’s murder in the song “On BS”. Padilla added Akademiks to his subpoena list because he says that Ak speaks on the case regularly on his platform. “Mr. Allen, who goes by the stage name ‘DJ Akademiks,’ posted his podcast on December 21, where he openly discusses the case, acknowledges being served, and states, ‘I am not showing up to court to talk to y’all n****s.’ It is clear that nothing short of a court order will ensure Mr. Allen’s participation in a deposition,” read the request.
The trial begins a week from today. TheSource.com will update this story as details develop.

On this date in 1958, a man who will forever reform the stance of the turntable was born; Joseph Saddler best known as Grandmaster Flash.
Amidst the infancy of hip-hop culture, Grandmaster Flash dominated the disc jockey scene of the North Bronx as he once was the DJ for big-time house rockers Kurtis Blow and Lovebug Starski in the mid-70s. Flash’s DJ sets became notorious for shaking crowds and it was evident he was influenced by preceding disco DJs in the likes of Grandmaster Flowers and Pete DJ Jones. Not only was Flash intrigued by the identity of the disc jockey through New York City disco DJ legends, but also, by the “hip-hopper” house rockers of his time, who reigned the opposing regions of the boogie down, DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa.
The DJ is the first star to brew out of hip-hop culture. With knowledge of the crowd’s desire to get down to the drum break known in hip-hop culture as the break beat (A type of instrumental that extends the dance part of the record), Saddler’s innovative nature caused him to develop a strategy that would deem his influence on the genre, unmatched and unquestioned, the quick-mix theory. The quick-mix theory was Flash’s way of endlessly playing the drum break, by using two turntables and two copies of the same record, playing the break on one record while setting the destined part on the other, and with use of a mixer, he switched to the other turntable, giving birth to an easier way to extend the break, which is currently known as the art of looping. The quick-mix-theory was heralded as a next level tactic that stemmed from DJ Kool Herc’s groundbreaking “Merry Go Round Technique.”
The signature success of the quick mix theory leads to his most famed act as the DJ for Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, whose 1982 hit “The Message” embodied the essence of New York City and brought global prominence to the once “thought-to-be-faddy” hip-hop genre. “The Message” is known to be a track that document’s Flash’s mastery on the turntable and is nonetheless recognized as one of the greatest songs of hip-hop history. The song is responsible for refining the content landscape of the rapping trend by bringing to light social commentary from the black youth of the Bronx, exposing the daily trials and tribulations caused by historically sanctioned methods of oppression.
Happy born day Flash! Salute to you on your special day and wishingyou many more!
On this date in 1991, Paramount Pictures presented the highly anticipated soundtrack to the hood flick Juice, which starred a still rising rap star by the name of Tupac Shakur, who plays a crooked criminal from Uptown by the name of “Bishop”.
His co-star, Omar Epps (Higher Learning, In Too Deep), plays a local DJ with industry potential named “GQ”, alongside Jermaine “Huggy” Hopkins(Lean On Me) and Khalil Kain, who all form a loosely knit crew of truants who are headed in the wrong direction.
This movie was very instrumental in bringing Hip Hop artists onto the silver screen, with cameo appearances from Treach of Naughty By Nature, Queen Latifah, EPMD’s DJ Scratch and Special Ed. Juice also helped to introduce the soundtrack as a way to market movies for larger budgets.
The soundtrack to this monumental movie included hits from the likes of Eric B. and Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Teddy Riley and the “Uptown Anthem” by the legendary Naughty By Nature. The soundtrack was a success, making it to #17 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Top R&B Albums.
One of the funniest stories to be told on camera has to be Soulja Boy’s interview on VladTV, where the “Crank Dat” rapper recounts shooting it out with a group of robbers who attempted a home invasion at his Atlanta home, but his account reveals him to be a real “soulja”, winning the gun battle with ease.
Former Xscape member and RHOA star Kandi Burress decided to give her Soulja Boy impersonation a go and used his most infamous interview to make the most hilarious reenactment of 2022.
According to several confirmed reports, Obadiah Malone, the brother of Chrisean Rock, has been arrested and charged with first degree attempted murder on Tuesday(December 27) in Baltimore.
Malone, who goes by “Mookie”, is accused of shooting a 39-year-old man on October 10, 2022 in Baltimore. The unidentified victim survived the shooting and Malone was later identified as the person who pulled the trigger. After getting a warrant, B-More’s Warrant Apprehension Task Force detectives arrested Mookie earlier this week.
Mookie recently called out Chrisean and Blueface, claiming they’re “the brokest celebrities in Hollywood.”
A leaked phone call between incarcerated rapper Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend Kelsey Nicole on the night that the “W.A.P.” co-star was shot in her foot following a party at the home of Kylie Jenner.
Lanez talks about what he could remember about the night that got him convicted of crimes connected to the shooting that injured rap star Megan Thee Stallion, confirming that he had too much to drink on that fateful night. Lanez and Nicole also can be heard discussing the backlash in the media about the shooting, and Lanez confirms that he’s been receiving the lion’s share of the heat.
This audio comes out less than a week after Lanez was convicted of the shooting and is currently awaiting sentencing.
After a photo from the 1995 Annual Freaknik Festival in Atlanta went viral, names of female artists were thrown around as being in the picture, but the poses and the names mentioned did not match up. One name in particular that was mentioned and now confirmed to be in error, is gospel singer Yolanda Adams.
With the general atmosphere of Freaknik being sexually explicit, it was a real stretch to get Yolanda Adams; fans to believe that she was posing in a botty poppin’ stance during the time her gospel career was morphing into what it is today. Trina, who is confirmed to be in the picture, was still more than three years from releasing her smash single with Trick Daddy, “Nann N****”.
“The Baddest B***h” has now confirmed that Yolanda Adams is not the woman in all black in the bottom right of the picture, much to the assurance of Adams’ fans.
