In This episode of The Nothinpodcast DjEFsclusive addresses all of the out-of-touch old men who swear they are the gatekeepers of what hiphop is.
Hip-hop has and will always be about expression and will never have room for haters. These kids are out here doing what we did when it was our turn. Yall sounds how our parents sound calling it noise and not accepting the culture for what the culture is.
Do not allow your hate for mainstream music to allow you to believe that hip-hop as a whole is dead because your favorite version of the genre is not what is popular.
in 2023 hip-hop is all about subgenres and a true hip-hop fan would know where to get what they are looking for meanwhile understanding the place in our community for other acts that they may not personally like.
The craziest thing about being an unsigned artist in the modern hip-hop environment is the audacity of originality and creativeness.
Today's artist seem to be stuck in the wave of those that have seen success before them rather than taking time to hone their style and create a sound that the listeners can say belongs to that artist, they rather play it safe and mirror what is being done daily then to take risk and develop something that has way more substance.
When I think of subject matter, beats plus overall professionalism the one unsigned artist that proves elite time and time again is Clinton LG.
I have watched and reviewed his career since before his name change and content pivot.
Though Clinton does not constantly drop when he does it is a gift. The recluse of an artist dropped his new single "Bear Witness" on his YouTube just a week ago and already has over 80 views and fifteen likes on the song. That may not be impressive to you however the artist only has eleven subscribers on his official YouTube and does not pay for ads sponsored post video views or engagement.
unlike today's artist he does not Tik Tok, he does not constantly go live playing music, in fact as a person that works with him very closely we have had several conversations about the texture of his career path and how he plans on ascending to the next level if he doesn't believe in the participation of industry politics.
The Jersey city rapper has your average rags to riches story however he refuses to tell the same version of his story as these other artist, in fact if you asked him he would tell you that his past is not indicative of his future and he would rather not perpetuate the same stereo types that have been used to poison the minds of the youth rather he would rather use his experience and knowledge to reverse the ignorance strategically being placed in the minds of not only our youth but people period.
The artist uses his social media platforms to educate people of color of their power hidden within the glow of their melanin. He encourages us to live better eat better and most of all be yourself regardless of how different yourself is from everyone else.
The new single bear witness is another example of his prophetic lyrics and seeds that he places in his music. The production is strong and sultry, the video is simple yet very deep when you break it down in the context of the lyrics of the song.
Overall what can be gained from adding an artist like ClintonLG to your library is an artist that can not only teach you new things but expand your vocabulary as well as perspective on several ideas from government policies and theories to pop culture avoidance.

If you are not a fan of Bryson then this #MightNotMeanNothinToYallbut Mr. Tiller has followed up his 2011 Halloween release "Killer Instinct"

If you are not following the reports on slain street legend Albert "Alpo" Martinez then this #MightNotMeanNothinToYallbut according to the New York Post over a decade in jail and witness protection did not take the hustle out of Alpo.
Reports are stating that after being shot, Alpo could be seen throwing several baggies out of the window of his 2017 dodge ram. Even after being shot five times in the chest Alpo tried to get away and get rid of the drugs before the cops arrived to the scene.
About a dozen of the baggies were found on the street spaced a few feet apart near West 147th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard.
A source told the news publication that it seemed to them that Alpo was trying to evade capture as he knew the cops would be on the scene soon.
It is believed that the bags contained heroin.
Once the ambulance arrived, Alpo was taken to Harlem hospital where he later died.
]]>People close to Alpo believe that he was targeted because like rapper 2pac Alpo never traveled without a vest and often road in bulletproof cars. This time he was shot with professional bullet groupings directly in the chest through the driver side window of his dodge ram. According to The New Daily News he was shot on 157th street in Harlem.
It seems their was issues confirming Alpo as the victim because he was carrying his witness protection identification. Later on, his son took to his Ig to confirm the passing of his father.
Once the news hit the streets of Harlem the family of street legend Richard porter celebrated.
“We waited for a long time for this day to come and we are happy. That’s why we’re out here celebrating, drinking champagne,” a 37-year-old niece of Porter’s who gave her name only as Lorell said as she poured herself more bubbly into a fancy glass. “Everybody’s reaction right now is celebrating. It’s a celebration for Harlem, period. Not even my family.”
Martinez’s truck rear-ended another motorist who told police he heard the shots but didn’t see what happened, sources said. The Dodge Ram then crashed into three parked cars by W. 147th St., sources said.
Word of his demise drew shocked neighbors to the scene throughout the day Sunday.
“Alpo finally got caught slipping,” one passerby said. “They shot him in the f---ing face. They finally got that rat.”
“I don’t want anyone to be hurt,” another neighborhood resident told the Daily News, declining to give her name. “But if you hear the whole situation with Alpo, it’s like, damn, now y’all getting to it.”
A group of about six people, believed to be his relatives, showed up at the scene Sunday morning.
“No, God, why!” one woman in the group said, as she collapsed onto the hood of a car, weeping.
“You motherf---ers happy now?” a man in the group yelled.
Obviously they are taking your money down to the flea market or local hood barber shop getting you right. I cannot even feel bad for you because this is exactly what it looks like when flexing goes wrong.

Hide your kids hide your wife IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN! it #MightNotMeanNothinToYallBut retired rapper turned podcasting legend Joe Budden herd Tihary's messy little interview with Jason Lee on #HollywoodUnlocked and hes not around for the "Clout Check Chasing".
#AccordingTo Joey everything Tihary said was a lie and he was in fact the victim of abuse during their toxic relationship. Joey went on to detail what really went on between the two of them. Joe explained that the relationship was toxic on both ends as they both were very young. He claimed he did not speak out as it pertains to the abuse because it was not something that men spoke about.
Joe detailed situations of her pulling knives on him and threatening him kicking him and putting hands on him during their toxic love connection. Mal and Rory stayed silent as joe ripped into her claim of him punching her in the face. The rapper indicated he was not with her in fact he was at the strip club with his friends trying to cheat on her, the only reason he was at the hospital like she stated is because she called him and asked for him to be there.
Joe claims his silence has only enabled her to continue her narrative of the abused latina however she is the abuser and the toxic part of the relationship. After leaving the relationship Joey went and got help engaged and had another baby meanwhile Tihary is still being toxic in new relationship and dragging joey on the internet about the past.
Rory attempted to shoot Tihary some bail stating it was horrible that these things happened to her however Joe denied the bail by double downing on the fact that she is pushing a narrative of him being an abuser when he really was her supporter in these times. Tihary would not allow joey to seek revenge on her behalf.
The rant continues with Joey detailing how she is a clout chaser and even recently sold him a mattress. He is painting the picture that she is the abusive one behind the scenes and gets in front of the cameras and acts a certain way because of check.

it #MightNotMeanNothinToYallBut Kanye seems calm cool collected and appears to be on his meds.
West on his 2016 hospitalization during Saint Pablo Tour
"The first time I was put into the hospital in 2016, I actually started reading the Bible. That was part of what God hit me with. And you know, God... has a calling on all of us, and He uses us in different ways. I'm not going to lie to you, I like being cool. I didn't go into an environment to come off uncool.
... When I went to the hospital the first time, one of the things I wrote down was 'start a church in Calabasas.' And we sang Jesus' name to the hills in the center of the city of Los Angels."
West on being left out of Forbes' 2019 billionaires list
"What [God] says is He says, 'None of that matters.' I went in from being snubbed by a magazine, but I was recognized by God.
...I got snubbed off the Forbes list for two years that they said I wasn't a billionaire. How you jump from a net worth of $240 million to $3.3 billion unless you been snubbed? And it felt like we not gonna allow people to know that someone that didn't follow our rules could actually make it. Then God gave increase."
West on Virgil Abloh working for Louis Vuitton and his dream Gap deal
"Virgil, when he went to Louis, that hurt me.... Because I was the Louis Vuitton Don. I know, I opened the door, but then I wanted to be the Louis Vuitton Don! ... And someone from Gap, I said, 'Man, it was always my dream.' And he was like, 'Louis Vuitton was your life dream?' And I was like, 'No, look how God is. Actually Gap was my dream.' Because I was working at Gap, getting fresh at the Gap, not being able to afford Abercrombie, and getting polos off of layaway at TJ Maxx and Marshalls before I even knew what Louis Vuitton was. Before I knew the idea. I never heard the word 'high fashion.' We was just getting fresh."
West on his 2019 Sunday Service Coachella
"When I did Coachella, we built this mountain. And then afterwards, we tried to do like this mountain in this park in our backyard. And Ray Romulus, who worked with us on Sunday Service, said, 'It sound like we just had a Coachella hangover or something.' And then we took it and we took the mountain and we shaped it this way. Do you know what happened with the sound? Have you ever put an iPhone in a cup? It amplifies. So actually for the fact that we got lower, our sound amplified. We are lower, the more humble you are."
West on the 2009 VMAs controversy with Taylor Swift
"If God didn't want me to run on stage and say, 'Beyoncé had the best video,' he wouldn't have sat me in the front row. I would've been sitting in the back. He wouldn't have made it the first award. And [He] wouldn't have made it so ridiculous of an idea 'cause I had never heard of this person before that night. And 'Single Ladies' is like one of the greatest videos of all time.... And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn't want to go to the awards show 'cause it was a set-up!"

Tihary Jose Tells All About Her Relationship With Joe Budden And Vado Posted by NothinPod on Monday, August 31, 2020
If you do not watch love and hiphop you may not know who Jason Lee is so this #MightNotMeanNothinToYallbut in a recent episode of Hollywood unlocked Tihary Jose ex-girlfriend of podcast goat Joe budden sat down to chop it up with DjDamage and Jason.
Many are not happy with the episode dropping on joey’s 40th birthday with a headline that would indicate that he was physically abusive to the retired video vixen. The interview could be looked at as petty however Jason made it clear that it was he who reached out to her and not the other way around.
When Joe's name came up it almost looked as if she wanted to move away from him quickly.
Jason opened the conversation about Joey stating that he is handsome and has good teeth. Tihary threw shade asking is Joey had gotten his new teeth or not. Tihary went on to speak on the complications of her and Joey’s friendship calling him "unpredictable" and that she does not trust him.
She also states that she wishes that the fans will let go of the idea of her and joey. They are in different places in life and believes that if people understood the actual dynamic of their lives and relationship people would not consider her and he goals; nor wish that they would get back together.
The King magazine legend also spoke on the famous club scene on love and hiphop where Johnathan pitted her against Cyn Santana the mother of Joe budden’s youngest child lex.
Eventually they get to this most recent season of Marriage boot camp where she physically attacked rapper vado with a barrage of apples. She denied ever being aggressive toward the rapper and that the apple attack was a direct result of Vado being drunk and high going overboard with the shocker that had been attached to her from the reality show.
At this point Jason takes a messy double back toward land of Joe budden by asking her if she was a victim of domestic violence at his hand. She did not say that joey “hit” her. instead she goes on to detail several injuries that she indicated were caused by joe. "Fractured ribs" even "thrown down the steps". She claimed she was "verbally and emotionally abused prior to her physical abuse". She stated that he sat with her in the hospital while she recovered from the rib injury.
After she detailed what she described as several years of being abused by Joe Budden, she claimed the rapper has written songs about the things he has done to her as well as spoken about her willingness to abuse men for over twenty minutes on his podcast. It is safe to say that Tahiry is saying that she was abused by Joe and then made him her friend because she did not know what else to do because she was afraid of him.
The interview was released on August 31st, Joey’s 40th birthday. The retired rapper turned pod-caster recently made the news when he turned down a nine figure offer from Spotify. Check out full interview here.
]]>If you have not been watching the Ruff Ryder Chronicles on BET this #MightNotMeanNothinToYallBut source magazine legend Benzino took to his social media to set the record straight about the ins and outs of the situation that lead to a massive may-lay between the two crews.
The show details a story that indicated that the made men had rushed the fleet center searching for DMX. They go on to say that the made men were upset about DMX allegedly taking off with one of their women and they had come to retrieve her from X tour bus.
They go on to say a fight ensued where knives were pulled out and the lox participated in a bloody fight between the two crews. The lox have spoken to this situation as well during interviews admitting that they were out numbered and styles was left bloody.
Benzino tells another story however, he claims that they did not know what was going on fully they were just trying to get to the bottom of the situation. They were getting some mixed story about their friend raping DMX cousin.
The Boston rapper claims that his friend ended up having sex with a woman that was later identified as DMX woman and because of that def jam kicked him off the bus.
Their friend indicated that only connection to his knowledge that this woman had to X was her having a room key that belonged to him.
Zino also claims at this show they did not have any weapons on them and basically calling the LOX and the rest of the ruff ryders liars because of their version of the story. Check out Zino version here
Zino denies ever fighting with x over any woman and maintains it was his friend that actually had sex with the woman. He also claims they did not show up with a whole team of people rather just four of them. Eventually the space gets crowded and both crews all come out. Someone from zino side threw a plastic water bottle and then the lox side started throwing punches.
People were stabbed prior to the police coming spraying mace and breaking it up. Zino also claims that he and DMX actually sat down to squash it.
The Lox Talk About Their Fight With BenzinoAnytime Benzino name is mentioned people clown him like he was not running around with Boston gangstas. It #MightNotMeanNothingToYallbut the story you may have heard on the #RuffRydersChronicles is super facts. Benzino and his crew rushed the Ruff Ryders backstage during the Cash Money Roc A Fella tour because a woman that belonged to zino was seen leaving with a man that looked like DMX Styles P admits that they were slightly out numbered and the men were getting the best of them however it is a known fact that the ruff ryders all carry knives or as jada calls them "Hawks" several men were stabbed several shows were canceled this was one of those moments when the music and the lifestyle matched.

If you remember back in February Megan The Stallion went viral after her mugshot resurfaced from a 2015 arrest.
Megan took to social media to tell us the story behind the mugshot. This story sounds identical to the story that she is
Giving us about tory. Another fact about that is just like Tory, this ex man of her has not spoken about the issue.
I am going to break down how both stories are the same and as mentioned on Episode 51 of Nothinpodcast "Megan Smollett" Megan is on a victim roll out, constantly playing off of being a victim.
In both videos she starts off by saying how she needs to set the record straight because she is being lied on.
She continued to go on and say that she only stopped beating up dudes because men will report the violence. Everyone is so quick to defend her and call her a victim of domestic violence but she champions it. She calls herself the hot girl coach. She sat on this video and admitted to drinking excessively and enjoying to turn up. She admitted to putting hands on a man because he cheated on her and had a child. Beyond that point why are the stories the same minus the part where she actually puts hands on tory? Wouldn’t it make sense to you that she did? Why would he just open fire because you tried to walk away?

]]>Everyone remembers the infamous elevator incident where Solonge beat the breaks off her brother in law and beyonce just stood back watching.
According to the blogs audio is circulating from inside of the elevator and has completely discredited the story of Jayz cheating and solonge tired of beyonce taking it.
Word is Solonge is actually crazy and was having a mental moment where she began to scream and believe Jay was trying to kidnap and sale her.
The blogs are saying roc nation and team carter made up the becky with the good hair story because honestly it is easier to deal with that rather having to explain that Solonge is a coke head whom is unbalanced with mental health issues that tried to escape capture from jay.
They are also saying Beyonce herself suffers from a mental health issue where she freezes and has moments where she is stuck, guess that explains what was going on when she was rocking at that basketball game.

]]>it MightNotMeanNothinToYallBut Max B doesn't like what he is hearing from behind bars as it pertains to French Montana and Young Thug. The two were inflamed in a war of social media insults for about two days.
In one of Young thug's social media rants he claimed that he had done more for imprisoned rapper Max B than his home boy French Montana.
DjAkademiks leaked a phone conversation with Max, and he does not seem to deny thug's claims rather state that they should all be working together because he plans to come home and shake things up.
"We supposed to be pulling together on some positive sh*t," Max says. "All that other sh*t is goofy. I ain't paying it no mind. I ain't looking for clout. I'm putting out music. I'm trying to feed my family. I'm trying to do real sh*t." - Max B

The rapper claims that she continues to talk about him in a negative and false light and is intentionally attempting to cause him emotional distress. Even though this appears as a small win for ms reign she will still have to defend herself against Future's allegations against her including invasion of privacy and that she was attempting to become famous off of his name and affiliation with him.
The whole story is messy
"Future filed a Defamation Complaint against Reign in February of 2020 in which Reign’s attorney responded that it was the rapper’s latest attempt to “intimidate, harass, and financially drain” her so that she’ll accept an inadequate child support settlement in their separate paternity case.
Recently, Judge Altonaga called out both parties’ representation for their lack of professionalism. In a court order, Judge Altonaga wrote, “The Court is frankly dismayed by the lack of professionalism shown by counsel for both parties.” It appears that each side failed to properly handle routine litigation actions and failed to work together to agree on a case management schedule, which would allow the case to move forward.
Future and Reign are both represented by the same attorneys in their separate paternity case regarding one-year-old, Reign Wilburn.
If Future would like his case reconsidered, he will need to file an Amended Complaint soon." - Baller Alert
