The time is almost hear.
Kendrick Lamar has revealed when his anticipated album will drop. The Compton rapper revealed that the date of release will be March 23.
Kendrick made the revelation on his Twitter account. He also seemingly gave indication that the art would be a mere black box. No title was listed.
Pre-orders are already in motion.
The only song listed is “The Blacker The Berry,” the incendiary track with pro-Black overtones.
Maino was accused of sexual assault and all but found guilty in the public’s collective eye. That notion has changed and the rapper was exonerated today.
Mellanie Monro accused the Brooklyn representative but now she has admitted to lying.
“Violence against women is an important issue in today’s society,” said Nicole Manini, Esq. of the Blanch Law Firm to hiphopwired.com. “As a female attorney, I find it completely offensive to actual victims of domestic violence and assault that Ms. Hennigan (aka Mellanie Monroe) would make these allegations against our client knowing that they were not true. False allegations of abuse and assault diminish the severity of such crimes real victims face and increase the fear that they will not be believed should they come forward against their assailants.”
The charges against Maino and co-defendant Richard Holt have been dropped.
Hennigan was seen on cellphone using the N-word towards the men and then they sprayed her with champagne.
Last week incarcerated rapper Bobby Shmurda called into Hot 97 to talk about his current legal situation. The phone call was abruptly cut short, and the Brooklyn native did not get to relay everything he wanted to the station’s audience. Turns out the call was not cut off by the jail’s authorities like previously suspected, and Shmurda was able to speak with Ebro In The Morning again today.
For the latest conversation, fellow GS9 crew member Rowdy Rebel was also on the line. Rowdy explained the conflict over Epic Records not providing bail money was really centered around an issue from the label’s parent company Sony. He and Shmurda also denied Bobby’s supposed uncle Debo Wilson offered to help them get out on bail.
“That n***a’s not even my real uncle,” said Shmurda. “That’s the n***a that’s always trying to rob me of some s**t. That’s a lying as n***a.”
Wilson was part of Shmurda’s original management team but has since become estranged from the rapper. The “Hot N***a” performer revealed he is looking for new representation and wants another New York City rapper to join his team.
“I’ve been trying to get in contact with 50 for the longest for some management,” Bobby stated.
Shmurda later added he feels racism has played a part in the police targeting him. When asked if anything he has done contributed to him being locked up, Smurda replied, “Nothing, except say hi and bye to people. Probably take a couple of pictures with people. That’s it.

NBC is launching a variety show that puts celebrities against each other to see who’s better. It has been reported that the network wants to bring I Can Do That! to TV sets this summer in six, hour-long shows. With Marlon Wayans as the host, the cast will feature the likes of Ciara, comedian Jeff Dye, singer Joe Jonas, former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and Alan Ritchson of The Hunger Games challenging each other in competitions to discover skills that they never knew they had.
“We’re excited to watch our all-star cast rise to the challenges ahead in such a fresh, new way,” said Paul Telegdy, NBC’s president of alternative programming. “Our viewers are going to fall in love with how these natural born entertainers push themselves outside of their comfort zones to put on a spectacular show every week.”
The weekly show will feature the cast separating into two teams and facing off in challenges that include song, dance, danger and magic. Production is taking place in 15 countries including Brazil, Italy, Spain, Finland and Mexico.
