World Aids Day – Rappers Fight To Educate Fans; Testing Numbers Up

For the past several years, Hip-Hop artists across the country have held events that encouraged safe sex and the importance of continuously being tested for HIV/AIDS. Artists like Plies, Twista, Yung Problemz, Yung L.A., Keith Murray, Ludacris, Jamie Foxx, Bun B., Gorilla Zoe, Common and countless others have campaigned in the Hip-Hop community to help stop the spread of the deadly disease amongst teenagers and young adults. The rapper’s have used many tactics, including giving away free tickets to concerts to encourage testing, created PSA’s, and viral campaigns on social networks to get their fans tested for HIV/AIDS.The Center for Disease Control provided AllHipHop.com with recent stats on the eve of World Aids Day, which takes place annually on December 1st. According to the CDC, the number of adults tested for HIV reached a record high in 2009. Last year 82.9 million adults between the ages of 18-64 reported getting tested for HIV. That’s a total increase of 11.4 million people since 2006, when the CDC recommended that HIV testing become a routine part of medical care for young people and adults.  “Today’s news shows that we have had progress increasing testing, and that more progress is both necessary and possible,” said Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., CDC director. “With most adults and with nearly a third of high-risk people having never been tested for HIV, we need to do more to ensure that all Americans have access to voluntary, routine and early HIV testing in order to save lives and reduce the spread of this terrible disease.”“HIV isn’t his problem or her problem. It’s all of our problem,” said Ludacris, who headed up the “I Know” HIV/AIDS Awareness campaign with the CDC earlier this year. “The facts are clear. African-Americans, especially young people are being devastated by HIV and AIDS,” Ludacris said. “But there is something we can all do about it. We can and must talk about HIV. So break the silence by having a conversation. Send a text. Update your status. Post this video. Talk about HIV and what we can do to prevent it.”More information from the CDC is below: The December Vital Signs report indicates that the percentage of adults who had been tested at least once in their lives increased to 45 percent in 2009, after holding steady at approximately 40 percent from 2001 to 2006.  CDC estimates that 1.1 million adults are living with HIV and that as many as one in five of these individuals (approximately 200,000 Americans) does not know that they are infected.  Reducing the number of undiagnosed infections is a critical component of HIV prevention, as most sexually transmitted HIV infections in the United States are transmitted by people who are unaware of their infection.  Research shows that once people learn they are infected, most take steps to protect their partners. Furthermore, people who are diagnosed earlier have longer life expectancies because they can benefit from HIV care and treatment. The Vital Signs report also highlights surveillance data showing that many people with HIV are diagnosed too late in their infection to take full advantage of effective treatment options and protect their partners from infection.  In the 37 states with long-standing, confidential, name-based HIV reporting systems, 32 percent of people diagnosed with HIV in 2007 progressed to AIDS within 12 months, indicating a late diagnosis and missed opportunities for treatment.  CDC is working with health care providers and state and local public health agencies to continue increasing access to routine HIV testing during medical visits, while also expanding community-based HIV testing programs that reach people outside of health care settings.  This summer, the White House announced the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, which includes the goal of increasing the proportion of HIV-infected individuals who are aware of their HIV status to 90 percent.  Consistent with this goal, in 2010 CDC provided $60 million to support HIV testing efforts in 30 of America’s jurisdictions most heavily impacted by HIV. The funding allows CDC and its partners to expand a successful three-year initiative to increase access to HIV testing among African-Americans, Latinos, men who have sex with men, and injection drug users.  For more information on HIV testing and prevention, visit www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns or www.cdc.gov/hiv.  

Master P. Victim Of Scam Involving Felons In Tennessee

(AllHipHop News) Master P. is considering legal action against a woman in Tennessee who is using his name and the name of Corey “C-Murder” Miller to promote a bogus organization named the Corey Miller Food Foundation. State officials are requesting a federal investigation into a woman named Alisa R. Harris, who runs the organization. Harris, who lives in a boarding house in Memphis, is allegedly operating a series of websites claiming to be affiliated with both Master P. and Corey Miller, who is currently appealing a life sentence for allegedly murdering a 16-year-old in 2002. The websites also list a number of official state organizations that are allegedly in partnership with Harris, who claims that she hires ex-felons and welfare recipients at $10 an hour. Her “workers” then use their cell-phones to solicit cash donations for the organization. “This is crazy, she needs to be stopped,” Master P. told Memphis’ Action News 5. An Action News 5 investigation revealed that Harris doesn’t have a license to solicit in the state, although her 2009 tax returns list an income of more than $150,000. Harris’ presentations and her legitimate tax status resulted in a relationship with an official partner of the Tennessee Community Services Agency, who referred workers to her organization. According to Harris’ own admission, she has hired over 116 ex-felons or welfare recipients  for the telephone jobs, through referrals. “Within 30 days of our relationship with her, things started to pop up that didn’t seem right,” Meredith Hennessy told Action News 5. “We severed our ties with her, and we’ll be working to remove our name from anything that she is affiliated with.”Master P. was adamant that he never met Harris a day in his life. “I have never met her,” said Master P. “Don’t know who she is….just to have somebody use your name and don’t even know you, it’s not even fair,” Master P. lamented.

Rapper Khia Unleashes Insults Aimed At Nicki Minaj, Labels Her A “B**ch”

(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim may not be the only rival female rap star Nicki Minaj may have to contend with, after Tampa, Florida rapper Khia unleashed a personal attack on the Queens, New York rapper on her blog. Khia took it upon herself to review Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday, and by the looks of the review and her comments, the album didn’t sit well with the rapper, who is best known for her hit single “My Neck, My Back.”Khia review of Pink Friday is far from flattering. Additionally, the review is laced with insults and direct attacks against Nicki Minaj and her image. “This b**ch needs to be SHOT on site…” Khia said. “It smells WORSER than the gas that’s coming out of my ASS, from all of the Turkey that I ate over the Thanksgiving weekend. Someone needs to give this B**CH a FLEET Enima [sic] and “FLUSH” her IMMEDIATELY, She is nothing but a “Ghostwritten”, Weezy-wannabe W####!”During the track-by-track review, Khia made it clear that she was unhappy with Nicki Minaj’s record, although she actually purchased a copy to help Nicki Minaj’s sales. She also lambasted Nicki Minaj’s business deal, with claims that she wouldn’t make any money off of Pink Friday, due to the amount of cameos, producers and executive producers involved with the release. “I can’t believe I wasted my $13.99 on this BULL S**T, I told yall that it aint no damn Barbies in the hood,” Khia wrote angrily. “I can’t wait for Matel [sic] to sue this b**tch for all of the $3.60 that she earned! When is this b**ch gonna learn that they stealing all of the money?”Before the review was over, Khia took one last shot at Nicki Minaj, while insulting Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown in the process. “Nicki, please give Inga [Foxy Brown] the number to your plastic surgeon and your shrink while you are at! Maybe, you guys can tag team!”To read Khia’s review on her official blog visit http://www.motormouf.com.

There is an AllHipHop feature story where Nelly is talking about his squabble with Eminem back in the day. I’m not exactly sure why this started. You can read the story for that, but I remember when that beef went down. I’m not sure if I wrote about it, but it was a serious beef on the low. Eminem seemed to do something slick and Nelly misunderstood it. Well, from there it almost spiraled out of control. See, contrary to Nelly’s image, he’s from the streets of St. Louis. In fact, St. Louis was recently named THE MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN AMERICA. Now, that says something. Nevertheless, Nelly stayed away from battling Eminem on the mice even though Eminem recorded a hard to find song called “Detroit Grammar.” I heard Nelly and Eminem saw each other at an awards show or in Las Vegas and Nelly stepped to Eminem powerfully like, “Do you have a problem with me?” I was told that he stepped to Em as if to say, “You better not have a problem with me.” And, lo and behold, he didn’t have an issue with Nelly. It was deaded before it turned into anything. Read the whole story here. REGIS GRABS NICKI’S BUTT?

Full Clip: Redman Runs Down His Entire Catalogue

Redman is the consummate lyricist’s lyricist. It’s been that way since the EPMD protégé made his album debut with 1992’s classic Whut? Thee Album. Throughout his nearly 20 year-career, the New Jersey MC has taken his wild, irreverent, hilarious, and at times smoked-out rhymes to the masses. The underground MC that made good never forgot his two-f##### ‘hood star beginnings, even when he became a household name appearing on a pop smash with Christina Aguilera (“Dirrty”) and starring alongside partner-in-rhyme Method Man in the 2001’s Hollywood cult comedy hit How High. Now the undaunted MC, who has been praised by everyone from Eminem to Ludacris, is set to drop his new release Reggie on December 7th. In between, there are plenty of stories to tell. And Redman gives more than a hit.—Keith Murphy <!– –> “Hardcore”–EPMD feat. Redman (1991) “It all started at this club called Sensations, which was one of the biggest hip-hop clubs in New Jersey. Everybody went to it on Friday and Saturday…even out-of-towners went there. I was Djing for DoItAll of Lords Of The Underground at the time and this was in 1990. I was cutting everybody’s record from Rakim to Big Daddy Kane and I rapped on the side. So, MC Lyte was supposed to perform one night and I was going to stay home [because I had something to do.] But they told me, ‘Nah, man. Come out.’ We went down there and Lyte ended up canceling and EPMD performed. Now when I first heard EPMD’s first joint ‘You Gots to Chill‘ and later ‘So Whatcha Sayin’?’ I said, ‘I can do this!’ Right before they performed we went to the back room and talked to them. And one of the Dj’s told EPMD, ‘Yo, he’s a DJ, but he spits too.’ So they asked me to spit and ten minutes later I’m onstage with EPMD rapping!’ My boys are looking at me like what the f### is this n#### doing? [laughs]. What is going on with this kid right here?’ Erick Sermon says, ‘Yeah, this is my new artist coming out.’ And I stopped and looked at him onstage like, ‘ Are you serious, n####? I actually walked into this s###?!!!’ The ill part about this is I was letting my boy handle the business. At the end of the show, we went to the back of the dressing room where E was giving me his number. My hand goes to meet his hand but my boy’s hand comes in between and gets the number. But I’m like, ‘Cool.’ Because he was handling my business. But let me tell you something. Within that moment that the number was being passed I saw the paper and memorized the last seven digits. I figured the area code was Long Island. So because my boy tells me he has the number I stepped back because I’m that kind of n####. I know how to play my position…he’s handles the business, I handle the music. So the first week I didn’t even ask him if he called EPMD. But after a couple of weeks, I’m like, ‘Did you call them?’ And he’s like, ‘No.’ A couple of days pass by and he tells me he called EPMD but he didn’t get an answer yet. This goes on for months. And then he tells me he lost the number! So I ended up calling Erick myself and I didn’t get an answer. I finally reached Erick’s mom, but he was on tour. I’m like, ‘This is Doc from Jersey. Could you tell Erick to call me back?’ I finally reach E and he’s like, ‘Yo…what the f###! We were waiting for you to call.’ He told me to come to Long Island and I ended up staying with the n#### for three years [laughs]. When I appeared in EPMD’s ‘Hardcore’ song and video that was just crazy. Def Jam had these little virals back then on VHS tape. Q-Tip was another very important person to my career. He had me in A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘Scenario’ video when I was first coming out. N##### in the ‘hood couldn’t believe it. It was amazing to me.” <!– –> Whut? Thee Album (1992) “My first impression when I was working on Whut? Thee Album is that I had to stand out. I’m coming from the [the Hit Squad camp] of EPMD, K-Solo, and then Das EFX, who did a million back then, which was incredible. So I was like, ‘Yo, what do I have to give?’ The thing with me is I wasn’t just doing it for the money. I’m contributing to the world good music because I feel like my music could help somebody in a certain way whether it’s negative or not. So how can I get this point across my way and stand out? The music that played a big part of my life was Johnny “Guitar” Watson and Parliament Funkadelic…but it was also NWA, Ice Cube, KRS-One, and Slick Rick. I had a lot of info to give out. So that’s why I was one of the first dudes on the East Coast hitting them with those skits and that real funk. I was able to adapt to the East Coast and the West Coast because I was listening to everybody. I had that knowledge of the West Coast feel and the East Coast feel. And I brought that lyricism. But I was also bringing a new era of [weed hip-hop] to the table. It was just what I did. Even though me and Method Man are stars we don’t promote weed; we just let people know that we smoke it. But the fans have to know that we probably lost out on a lot of endorsements because we smoke weed. But even if I knew that back then, I still would have been smoking. As far as creating that whole Dr. Trevis character for the album, that was an alter ego. It was something different […]

Soulja Boy: Alive and Kickin’ A$$

Soulja Boy is still here. Truthfully, it is a feat that may didn’t think the teen rapper could overcome when he emerged in 2007. In 2010 and two more albums, the young rapper has emerged as a leader in a youth movement and a decidedly different sound for Hip-Hop. Now 20 years old, Soulja Boy presents The DeAndre Way the latest installment in his discography. AllHipHop.com got the rapper on a number of topics. To see the video or the entire interview, scroll to the bottom of this page. How Soulja Boy’s music has grown in the last three years. “I was in the studio with Kanye and Cudi, in New York, I was in the studio with 50 out in Cali, I was in the studio with studio with Snoop, I worked with Boi-1da and he came through and dropped like 75 beats on my hard drive. I was writing through my whole process, I was using a perspective, and I was writing on a Boi-1da beat and I just really sat there and thought about how I wanted my listeners to view that “Speakers goin Hammer” is a single that he produced and its crazy because I just shot a video like two weeks ago in Cali and I saw a edit, like rough cut from that so, I think that is going to be dope, yall look out for that.” SB speaks on the intangibles of the grind. “I try to stay on top of my game and be a trendsetter in hip hop, you know what I mean? For me, today I woke up on the tour bus, I hopped up out the bed on the tour bus, I got fresh threw my clothes on, got my shoes together, I had to do an early morning radio show, I had to do meet and greets with DJ’s, take pictures with the fans and I was just really promoting my new music.” Touring and recording on the run. “I been making music and making beats, but I like been hitting the hotel and recording. I been making beats and before I went on the first official day on my promo tour, I went to Guitar Center and spent like $10,000 on equipment. Like I need the best mic, best speakers, I need this, I need that. Like I am going to be on the road for this amount of time, and Keri Hilson, she been buzzing me like “Yo I need to do this verse for me.” So I was just like look man, lets go to Guitar Center so I can be on the go recording because these people need these features, so that’s how I got this set up.” The song on The Deandre Way that may make you cry. “I had a lot of different listening sessions, one of the tracks, I had someone bust into tears, and one of the songs other people really congratulated me on the song called, ‘I Deserve a Grammy’ ft. Ester Dean, and it’s the last song on the album, The Deandre Way, and the production on the song is just really pictured everything that I wanted from the kick to the clap to the chords to the treble, everything. Once she stepped in the booth, and once I heard her voice, and vocals, it really just hit a nerve and made me feel a kind of way and the intro to the song is pic and you can hear the audio clip from CNN and they took and audio clip from it and you can hear the strings behind it and that’s a song that really stood out to me, I think that people will look at me on a different level as far as a lyricist and as far as an artist the way I opened up musically on that.” How The DeAndre Way is different from the others. “So I think if you cop my album The Deandre Way on November 30 th, look for the song, I deserve a Grammy. I took it on a more personal level. If you look at my album, SouljaBoyTellem.com, look at my second album iSouljaBoyTellem, if you look at this third album, its like I am becoming more personal and more real and telling people about my life as a human being, not as a super star. I think all my fans, I know all my fans are going to feel that.” What comes after the album. “November 30th is my album, I’m really pushing that, The Deandre Way, and I’m doing a mixtape called Soulja Society, and I leaked the artwork via Twitter and really got a good response from that. People are waiting to hear about that, Lil B, he is dropping a SOD album called Thraxkiss, and it’s going to be through SODMG Records, and Jbar is dropping his album 2011. My movie hits theaters in 2011. Its called “The Deandre Way” and its going to be on DVD and these people have been pitching me this movie idea for so long, and now I am letting them orchestrate my art and tell my story and let people see it on the big screen. A lot of people say ‘Soulja Boy is a one hit wonder, and he’s lucky’, and its not even about music, not even just about me, it about a success story, but its about a true story from the bottom to the top a true success story.”
