Tameka Raymond. Prayers.

Us here at the Dope headquarters can be goofy and bring you a lot of industry news but right now we want to get serious and ask you to send your prayers out to Usher's ex wife Tameka Raymond, whose 11 year old son Kyle, has been announced brain dead after a jet ski accident. So please, keep their family and her son in prayers,

 Love.

Ray Allen to the Heat.

Former Celtic Ray Allen took his offer and went to the Heat. Now we know all the Celtics out there must be upset but let's examine why this was a good move for Allen. 

Now, Ray Allen has almost completed the Heat's superstar roster. Now when I say superstar I don't necessarily mean the Heat have the best players but when you take their players and put all the talents together you get one of the best teams. The Heat's starting line-up and on court persona will only be made better with the addition of Ray. We would like to hope the Heat's new line up will include Lebron has the point guard. Ray and Wade as the 2 and 3 guards, which are interchangeable so there should be no conflict between the two like there was between ((Ray and Rondo)). Then the possibility of Bosh being a 4, IF Marcus Camby is welcomed as welll. 

All in all, that was a GREAT move for Allen. He went where he could play basketball and play in his zone, rather than stay where the money is so CONGRATS TO RAY ALLEN!

Jeremy Lin Boards His Rocket To Houston.

Former Knicks player Jeremy Lin is to return to his original team, the Houston Rockets on a 4-year 28.8 million dollar contract. The Knicks just picked up vet. point guard Jason Kidd and are willing to MATCH the offer.

 Let's examine both sides of this deal.

If he goes to the Rockets; he will be somewhere familiar and where he has a pre-established relationship with the staff. Two, the are no taxes in Texas so he will come out with a LOT more money on his end.

Now, if he goes to the Knicks; he gets to be trained and molded into a way better point guard by one of the best, Jason Kidd himself. 

Either way, Lin has to do what is best for him and we all will be patiently waiting to see what he does today and tomorrow. This is intense.

Pusha T Pushes Wayne Beef Away

Recently there has been beef between long-time rappers Pusha T and Lil Wayne but Pusha says he won't engage in a battle with the Wayne or Drake.

"The best music wins"-Pusha T

[[Last weekend, the ongoing Chris Brown vs. Drake feud hit a new high note when Breezy's "I Don't Like" freestyle unexpectedly leaked to the Internet. On the Game-assisted track, Chris takes numerous shots directly at Drake and his crew. He raps: "Them eyebrows, man, them shits is yikes OVO, you overdosed, screamin' YOLO no, I live twice," which is an obvious swipe at Toronto's rap king. The night before Breezy's scathing freestyle diss impacted the Internet, G.O.O.D Music's Pusha T was spotted in the studio with the young singer. Push was also an artist who many rap fans had taken jabs at Drake in the past. Most recently, the VA rapper's "Exodus 23:1" track was believed to be aimed at Drizzy. However, when asked about his opinion on the ongoing beef, 1/2 of the Clipse took a neutral stance. "Chris goes in and [he] handles his business," Pusha tells VIBE when asked about Chris Brown's "Drake Diss." "At the end of the day, we just make good music and we ain't playing no games with nobody. The best music wins." (VIBE)]]

50 Cent Says Don't Expect A Battle With Jay-Z

Despite the push of fans, 50 says his days of back and forth rap battling is over with and that the public should not expect any back and forth between him & Jay-Z.

[["That won't happen, that won't happen," Fif told DJ Whoo Kid when told fans want him to verbally go back-and-forth with Jay-Z. "We've had many opportunities for that. There's been a subliminal line here and there from Jay. [laughs] [To the fans,] thanks for making this another great year for me, another successful year. To everybody, you know what I'm saying, you can follow me on Twitter, @50Cent. I'm running around." (Shade 45)]]

Soulja Boy Threatens To Eat Spaceghost Purrps Face...

Rapper Soulja Boy Has Decided To Side With Rapper A$AP Rocky in his beef with Spaceghost Purrp and he also issued out a warning to Spaceghost...

[[Only reason I gave @SGhostPurrp a pass was because ASAP Rocky. now that rocky doesn’t fuck with you. We gon eat yo face nigga. Bath salts,” tweeted Soulja from his twitter account @SouljaBoy account. ]]

*BLINKS*...lolololololololol!!! woah! Ok. That's enough of this foolery...

Song Of The Day; Schoolboy Q Feat. Kendrick Lamar-Blessed

Schoolboy Q Album Talk.

[[“It gotta be different. It’s like Habits & Contradictionswas different from Setbacks. Setbacks had a lot more content in it, a lot more meaningful topics.Habits & Contradictions was more of a funner project. Not so serious.

The next project is just gonna be the both of them put together,” he continued. “It has to be them two combined but with a new sound. You got to make somebody cry every album, at least one song. That’s what we go by at TDE. If you ain’t making nobody cry at least one song, go back and revitalize the shit.

“For the most part, I just want the homies on there, but I may throw a single out there with somebody name on it,” one-fourth of the Black Hippy collective said. “You know what I mean? Just to push it to the next level. But for the most part, I’m all about me and my homies.”]]

Cam'Ron Disses Mase On 60 Rackz Track

[[“I be me, you be you, apologies to Groovy Lou/Sorry bruh I ain’t fucking with Ma$e, yeah yeah tell him you be cool,” Killa Cam spits on the remix. “Me I rep that Hud 6. I ain’t even going to play with him/Harlem Underworld for real, you can fool Wale and them.”(Cam'Ron)]]

[[As the latter line refers to Ma$e’s recent collaboration with MMG’s Wale, Cam’s ill will towards the rapper-turned-pastor stems from his nonattendance at Harlem friend and Harlem World member Huddy 6′s (born Andre Hudson) funeral back in October 2010.]]

Kanye & Pusha T "New God Flow"

A$ap & Spaceghost Beef?

Well the title speaks for itsef but WHY?

[[Miami MC-producer, SpaceghostPurrp and the Harlem based ASAP Mob are involved in the latest hip hop beef. According to various reports, the fight started as ASAP Mob memberASAP Twelvy apparently jumped Spaceghost's Raider Klanpartner Matt Stoops which then caused members of the of both groups to launch a twitter feud. While Spaceghost has produced some of Rocky's best songs, it seems as though the two won't be working together anytime soon. (The Source)]]

Lil Wayne Confirms "Carter V' For Next Year.

Lil Wayne Slickly Hinted A Carter V Release for next year...you know how Weezy does. Hope he won't be "Sorry For The Wait" again.

[[With a goal set to become the best skater alive, Lil Wayne appropriately swung through the 2012 X Games yesterday. While there he engaged in some Q&A, and one fan questioned the release of The Carter V, Wayne's follow-up to last year's fourth installment of the series. Jake Knudsen(Shelton, Washington): Hey weezy what is your favorite thing about X-Games and when is Carter 5 coming out? Weezy: X-Games is a higher level of competition- I've been to a few other contests and this one is the best. Carter 5 will come most likely next year. (Prefix Mag)]]

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Follow-Up To Come?

No I.D. did not give a date but he DID confirm a follow up album to Kanye's 2010 "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".

[[G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summerhasn't even hit the shelves yet, but there is a good chance fans can get a double dose of Kanye West this calendar year. Def Jam VP and multiplatinum Chicago producer No I.D. confirmed to MTV News that right after G.O.O.D. Music drop their compilation, Yeezy is looking to follow up with his sixth solo album. "He's coming right after that," No I.D. revealed. "I'm not working on that [Cruel Summer] album, I'm working on his album," he said before cryptically telling us what's to come on the upcoming G.O.O.D. LP. "This is Kanye. You know what to expect from the family. He hasn't missed yet, so don't expect him to miss." (MTV)]]

Method Man Back? Oh Shoot!!

Rapper Method Man says he's going to get back in the studio and work with Rza for his next LP "Crystal Meth".

[["Me and RZA are gonna work together on my next LP, Crystal Meth," Mef said in an interview. "I'm looking forward to getting back in the studio with the kid. We just came off the Wu tour and the camaraderie was still there so I know the chemistry is gonna be there when we go in the studio -- honeslty, I've got so much time on my hands right now, who knows [when it will drop.] But I'm definitely working if there's listeners out there. I know there's listeners out there. Far as mainstream goes, I'm not concerned too tough with that. I've been there, done that. So, year, if there's still fans out there listening, I'm definitely coming with some sh*t for you." (AHH)]]

Chris Brown "Fortune" 1 Week Sale Predicitons

The Singer's New Album "Fortune" has been predicted to "easily" be number one...hmm.

[[Chris Brown will score the #1 album next week, giving Sony Music its 20th week of occupying the top spot this year. And because the 4th of July is historically one of the lightest holidays in terms of music retail, new releases were scaled way back, with Brown's is the only debut that will make the Top 15. To shake consumers out of their summer doldrums, Amazon did a multi-titled $1.99 Gold Box promotion, which we estimate generated sales north of a quarter-million albums on July 4th. As a result, a number of albums are way up this week. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend: Chris Brown (RCA) 125-135k Justin Bieber (Island/IDJ) 80-90k Linkin Park (Warner Bros.) 70-80k Usher (RCA) 35-40k MMG Presents, Vol. 2 (Maybach) 30-35k The Black Keys (Nonesuch) 27-32k R. Kelly (RCA) 25-30k (HITS Daily Double)]]

Soulja Boy Explains Tears During Whitney Houston Tribute.

If you watched the Whitney Houston tribute during the BET Awards then you also saw rapper Soulja Boy shedding tears. He recently explained to XXL Mag the reason behind those tears.

"I started thinking about my younger brother..."

[[Yeah man," Soulja--via phone from LA--began to recollect yesterday. "When I was standing there and they started to do the tribute, I started to think about Whitney Houston. When her mother came onstage, I thought about how a mother was singing about her daughter that was no longer here. A daughter that had died. That's really tough. Then I started thinking about my younger brother that recently passed. I got his name tatted on my arm. [His passing] feels like it happened yesterday. So those things are hard to watch." (XXL Mag)]]

Woah Scrappy!! Don't Put Your Paws On Them!

Lil Scrappy Too Has Had His Words About Frank Ocean's Coming Out...And About All Homosexuals. 

"Homosexuality Is A Doorway To Aids"

[[Rapper Lil Scrappy believes gay men like Frank Ocean are the "doorway to AIDS" ... and wants more closeted homosexuals to "come out" so it can't be spread to straight people. Scrappy -- who now stars on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" -- was on "TMZ Live" this week to talk about Ocean's revelation ... when he explained why he completely SUPPORTS the R&B singer. "I'm glad that he came out ... so all the real women that love to mess with real men, straight men, we can keep the AIDS situation down, you feel me?" Scrappy continued, "[homosexuality] is a doorway to AIDS, scientifically." As for the facts, there is evidence that shows men who have sex with men are at an increased risk of contracting HIV. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, men who have sex with men accounted for 61% of all new HIV infections in 2009. Despite his opinions, Scrappy says he has no reservations about working with Ocean if the opportunity arises -- telling us he would "jump on a track like it was yesterday." (TMZ)]]

MGK Chops It Up With Yela.

After months of back and forth interview dissing, MGK has confirmed that the beef between him and Yelawolf...

[["I don't got friction with anybody. Like I said, a lot of people don't know this, but I left the interview when I was in Long Beach and I saw Yelawolf walk past after there was all these statements thrown in the air and I'm far from a punk and I'm definitely not a sucker and I'm definitely not a motherf*cker's who's going to sit there and let the awkward f*cking 'We know we're both in the same space eyes go on and sh*t' so I went up, said what was going on and we talked it out and I thought it was cool. As far as I'm concerned motherf*cker, unless you're f*ckin' Jay-Z status orEminem status or anyone else to where dissing you would make my career f*cking go [upward], then I should save you a champagne bottle. Unless you're on that level, this is how I feel, motherf*cker. Zzzzzz." (Karen Civil)]]
