Wack 100 Tells 50 Cent & Floyd Mayweather To Back Off Soulja Boy, Chris Brown Fight
The Game and Ray J’s manager Wack 100 sent 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather a stern message: Don’t think you’re controlling the upcoming Chris Brown, Soulja Boy fight because the Los Angeles Bloods are.
Wack delivered that message while speaking to TMZ, and the way he sees it, the beef started on the West Coast, so no one but the local Pirus will be organizing the match.
He also disputed Mayweather’s claims that the fight wasn’t going to take place in Dubai.
“We’re going to take the fight to Dubai,” said Wack. “Mike Tyson is definitely involved … 50 Cent is not needed for the fight. Floyd is not needed for the fight, but if politics is right we can talk business. At the end of the day, Floyd and 50 ain’t never gonna control nothing that’s a West Coast situation. No disrespect. Like it would be hard for me to control something that’s New York based and 50’s involved.”
Afterward, Wack said because of his experience of being a manager, he’s totally qualified to put together the fight himself, along with the help of his “Piru comrades.”
Will either Fif or Floyd take offense to any of this? It’s possible, because we all know that the G-Unit boss gets offended pretty easily.

The Falcons DJ Plans To Hit Russell Wilson With Many Future Tracks
We would be seriously surprised if Future sings the national anthem before the Atlanta Falcons – Seattle Seahawks divisional playoff game this weekend, as Falcons fans are trying to petition to have happen.
And not just because it would be an odd move on Future’s part; Falcons coach Dan Quinn has already said bringing Russell Wilson’s wife Ciara’s baby daddy into it isn’t part of the team’s strategy.
“We will absolutely not go down that road,” Dan Quinn told @Bighugh53 about requesting Future songs to annoy Russell Wilson.

However, the Falcons official DJ says he is going forward with a full slate of Future for the game.
“This is Atlanta. I play Future at every home game,” DJ Jay Envy told Complex. “That’s like not playing [Kanye] in Chicago. It just doesn’t happen. I’m not not going to play Future because of a certain team or player…I’m going to play it and, to be honest, no one has hit me up directly saying I can’t play the records I normally play.”
“[I”m] fitting in as many Future records as I can get away with, he continued.
Could this possibly make a difference?

Check A Young Kendrick Lamar Freestyling Over Kanye’s ‘So Appalled’
In 2009, Kendrick Lamar was an up and coming rapper named K-Dot with a few mixtapes under his belt.
In the seven years old interview below, Kendrick introduces himself and then (at about the 3 minute mark) spits a freestyle over the Kanye West track ‘So Appalled.’
If you are wondering why Lamar is using a track in 2009 that didn’t officially come out until ‘Ye’s 2010 album My Dark Twisted Fantasy it’s because an early version of ‘So Appalled’ had leaked.
What do you think of a young K-Dot? Here’s one of his mixtapes from that time period.

Blac Youngsta Accused Of Short-Changing Los Angeles Strippers [VIDEO]
Even though he constantly goes around flashing cash, some dancers said they were stiffed by Blac Youngsta when he attended the Ace of Diamonds strip club in Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, the CMG rapper performed at the famed club with about 20 people from his entourage, and despite the fact that he stayed for 90 minutes and invited some of the women on stage with him, he didn’t tip them at all. His friends didn’t fork over any money either.
“It’s super embarrassing to be onstage after he requests you and then doesn’t tip anything,” said one of the ladies.
At this point, it’ll be interesting to see if Blac gets an invitation to play Ace of Diamonds again. If he does, there’s a good chance the dancers won’t be paying him a lot of attention.

Nineteen85 Explains Why Drake’s ‘More Life’ Project Is A Playlist
Drake’s Views was easily the best selling Hip Hop album of 2016.
He’s following that up with More Life, which will drop shortly.
But it’s an playlist rather than an album
OVO producer Nineteen85 explained what that means in an interview with Billboard.
“More Life is interesting because this is [Drake] right on the peak of his biggest project yet [with Views], doing his biggest tour and still having so many good ideas that he just wants to put out without making it a big ordeal,” he said. “That’s why he’s trying to call it a playlist because he has a bunch of people in a space, hanging out…. He’s so aware of what everybody else is doing musically that he likes to introduce new music and new artists to the rest of the world.”
More Life was initially slated for December, but got pushed back.
It should be coming soon, and likely without warning.
Does it sound like an interesting concept?

Allen Iverson’s Going To Be In Ice Cube’s 3 on 3 League
Last month, we learned that Ice Cube was launching a 3 on 3 league for retired NBA players.
The BIG3 league will consist of eight teams of five ex-NBA players, and will barnstorm the country for ten weeks, starting on June 24th.
Today, the league got its biggest commitment from an ex player when Allen Iverson signed up to be a player-coach.
AI is 41, and it’s been seven years since his last NBA action.
Other ex-NBA players who’ve committed include Kenyon Martin, Gary Payton, Rashard Lewis, Chauncey Billups, Jason Williams, Jermaine O’Neal and Stephen Jackson.
Do you think Iverson can still break ankles? (Perhaps literally at their age.)

Nas Settles His $3.5 Million Bill With The IRS
Nas had a stretch of forgetting to pay his taxes between 2006 and 2010 and ended up owing the IRS $3.5 million, which he just paid.
The Feds reported that Nas owed $804,782 for 2006, $1,779,453 for 2007, $615,600 from 2008 and $339,005 from 2010, for a grand total of $3,538,900.
That’s the kind of lien that will get you tossed in jail. So it’s a good thing the 43-year old wasn’t found to have committed tax fraud, and was ultimately able to settle up with Uncle Sam.
However, his tax problems are still not over.
Nas continues to owe the state of Georgia $426,000 for 2007. That amount includes about a $60,000 penalty, $57,000 in interest and a $71,000 “collection fee.”
Nas hasn’t dropped an album since 2012’s Life is Good, although there have been rumblings he might be headed back to the studio.

Falcons Fans Are Trying To Get Future To Troll Russell Wilson
Ciara has a child with Future. Now she’s married to Russell Wilson.
Future is from Atlanta. Russell Wilson is the QB of the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks visit the Atlanta Falcons this weekend in a NFC divisional playoff game.
So …
Petition for Future to Sing the National Anthem at Falcons-Seahawks Playoff Game https://t.co/bNtB62bdo3
— Eddie Huang (@MrEddieHuang) January 8, 2017
The petition is well on its way of reaching its 1000 digital signature goal. Future has not commented.
We tend to doubt hearing Future sing the anthem would bother Wilson too much.
That being said, the Seahawks team DJ admits he won’t spin Future during practices or games out of respect to Wilson and Ciara.
And this certainly wouldn’t be the first time Future has been used to troll Wilson.

Charles Oakley’s Vicious Pimp Slap Of Charles Barkley Confirmed
Charles Barkley and Charles Oakley were rebounding extraordinaires with similar names.
But they didn’t much care for each other. Witness this preseason tussle between the two power forwards from 1996.
According to former NBA Player Chucky Brown, there was another notable physical altercation between Barkley and Oakley.
In an interview with the Jerseys & Dress Shirts podcast, Brown confirmed a notorious story about Oakley pimp slapping Barkley during a players union meeting.
We had a lockout in… 1999, so the players’ union decides to fly all the players up as a sign of solidarity that we together and all of that. So, I’m standing in the hallway talking to Dream [Hakeem Olajuwon], laughing with Dream about our days in Houston, and I look down the hallway and see Charles Barkley. Well, not down the hallway, Barkley was next to me talking to this white guy, I don’t even know who he was. Some lawyer or something, I don’t know. So, I look down the hall, I see Derrick Coleman, Anthony Mason – God bless his soul – and Charles Oakley. Back in the day, those were three of the guys you didn’t want to mess with.
I see Oakley coming, I’m looking at Oakley, and it looks like he’s looking at me. Barkley is standing right over here. Oakley and I had gotten into something on the court, so I’m thinking, “Damn, I don’t want to fight this dude.” But if I gotta do it, I gotta do it, know what I’m saying? He walks past me, walks up to Charles Barkley, and he’s like, “What’s that sh*t you were saying?” Barkley just kind of looked at him, and Oakley open-hand slapped him.
According to Brown, the sound of the slap echoed throughout the hallway. Yet Barkley did nothing in response.
Forget about Kenyon Martin vs Tim Thomas.
That’s a heavyweight fight between ex-NBA players we’d like to see.
