Video After The Jump

The Christmas Day Hate-A-Thon is a live 5 hour broadcast. Originated by Star & Buc Wild in 1998, its format is fueled by objective hate, random callers, alcohol and smoking cannabis.

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.

Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."

STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.

Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

This clip is from STAR's LIVE show (12noon -- 2pm) on http://shot97.com.

Deb Antney is dealing with the loss of her son, Kayo Redd, and struggling to make sense of the tragedy. As we previously reported, Kayo died of a self inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday (December 29, 2013).

Ms. Antney spoke with Dennis Byron of HipHopEnquirer and gave some insight as to why it may have happened. Kayo was pursuing a rap career like his older brother, Waka Flocka Flame, but he had not yet reached the same level of success.

His mother told Dennis that Kayo was struggling with the fact that he couldn't help provide for her like Waka. He also recently underwent eye surgery and was having complications as a result of it.

Deb issued a brief statement to HHE regarding her son's passing.

He had just left my house and he headed down the street and the next thing I knew was my son was dead. My son was a good kid and I never had any problems with him. I just don’t know why he would do such a thing.

Kanye West wants to turn over a new leaf. Maybe becoming a father is mellowing him out. Or perhaps he's just tired of repeating the same things over and over ad nauseum.

At a recent show at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, West said he was going to stop the epic rants that have become a part of his interviews ("you don't have the answers Sway!") and concerts for at least six months.

"Everything I'm saying that's not allowed, soak it in right now," he said, "This might be the last time y'all hear me talk sh*t for a long time. Might be another, like, six months. At least. You're just gonna have to run back the interviews and sh*t if you wanna hear some realness."

I've never seen anyone that likes to hear himself talk as much as West. Six months will be an eternity for him. You guys think Yeezy can go radio silence for that long?

Here's a new tune from Roscoe Dash featuring Waka Flocka Flame entitled "Whassup." Check out what Roscoe had to say about the track below.

It was really organic. We could have been rushed back in the studio to duplicate the success of No Hands. We pass each other and critique each others work in the studio all the time. But the timing of this song felt right. So we accomplish what we wanted to. A sound that continues what we started yet its fresh enough to kick off 2014!

Miami Heat basketball star Dwayne Wade has a newborn child, but it's not with his fiancee Gabrielle Union. The baby boy was born one month ago, according to the Sun Sentinal.

Wade held a press conference Monday (December 30) to talk about his third child. He said the pregnancy occurred during a break in his relationship with Union, who he has been dating since 2009.

"I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy. So I'm moving on. I'm in the public eye, so obviously that's a part of it. It comes with the territory. I've always tried to show my importance in my kids' lives and it doesn't change now. So, I, my lady and my family have continued to move forward, and I think that's evident with the ring and the proposal that I gave her, with our lives."

The NBA All-Star proposed to Union on December 21. He sealed the deal with a $1 million, 8.5 carat cushion cut diamond ring from Jason of Beverly Hills. The couple will get married in September 2014.

The 31-year old has two more sons, Zaire and Zion, from ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. He has primary custody of both of them.

**UPDATE**

TMZ has obtained the birth certificate (above) of Wade's newborn baby and a photo of the child's mother.

Xavier Zechariah Wade was born was born in Los Angeles on Nov. 10, 2013 to 30-year-old Aja Metoyer.

Aja also has a child with Damon Wayans Jr.

TMZ claims to have proof that when the child was conceived, Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union were not on a break from each other like Wade said in yesterday's press conference.

The website has dug up Instagram photos and tweets from Union during the time the two were supposedly split up.

"Sasha don't play when it comes to her man... 'Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend,'" reads the caption on a photo Union posted of Wade and her dog Sasha.
