Young Buck doesn't care if you think he's promoting violence against police officers with his new track, "The Get Back" ... he insists it's his RIGHT to take them out.

The G-Unit rapper didn't mince words on "TMZ Live", saying he will absolutely protect himself from "crooked police officers" and he's encouraging everyone else to do the same.

His song includes lyrics like, "Make these n****s load up and go kill a cop right now" ... and although Young Buck expressed condolences for the families of the Dallas officers -- he never backed off his violent message.

Sure sounds like he's echoing the 60's civil rights battle cry, "By any means necessary." Watch and decide for yourself ... he's also got a message for The Game and Snoop Dogg.

Steph Curry can't stop taking 3s even while on vacation in Maui.

The Kardashians are calling BS on a new cosmetic line with their namesake ... saying they're pissed cause it's misleading their fans.

"Kardashian Beauty" launched over the weekend plastering the sisters' names and faces on its website. But the sisters want to make it absolutely clear -- they're NOT part of the company in any way, shape or form.

A little backstory ... back in 2012, the Kardashians teamed up with Boldface cosmetics to license and distribute color cosmetics. The sisters claim due to Boldface's mismanagement, the partnership didn't last long ... and Boldface ultimately went belly up. Haven Beauty stepped in 2 years later but that partnership went downhill over disagreements with Haven's owners.

That brings us to now ... the Kardashians and Haven Beauty are locked in a nasty legal war and we're told Haven Beauty's gone rogue and forged ahead anyway, launching "Kardashian Beauty."

A rep for the Kardashians tells TMZ the sisters vigorously reject ANY involvement with the company.

"Over the weekend, new cosmetic products were announced on the Kardashian Beauty cosmetic social media pages with pictures and statements from Kourtney, Kim and Khloe. The three Kardashian sisters are not in business with this cosmetic company."

They go on to say, "The people selling the Kardashian Beauty brand and their predatory owners knew this and are attempting to mislead the Kardashians' fans by stating that the Kardashians are still involved. This outrageous conduct is a legal matter and will be dealt with accordingly."

Taylor Swift is swinging back ... calling BS on Calvin Harris' Twitter tirade in which he claims he was the architect behind the hit song, "This Is What You Came For."

Sources close to Taylor tell TMZ ... Calvin's intentionally downplaying her involvement, essentially saying he did all the music. But Taylor says not only did she write the lyrics ... she also created the melody, and those 2 elements are the essence of any song.

Our Calvin sources concede Taylor indeed wrote the melody ... but his musical genius with beats, chords and instrumentals made the song a hit.

A Calvin source scoffs, "She's acting like he's only got one hit song. LOL."

John Hetlinger made it to the big time -- and it only took 82 years!

Rich Homie Quan has just dug a hole to China ... because he's now blaming a malfunctioning teleprompter for his now infamous performance at VH1's "Hip Hop Honors."

RHQ says he went blank during the song "Get Money" because the prompter wasn't rolling properly. This is what he says were the "technical difficulties."

Calvin Harris is taking the gloves off and lighting up Taylor Swift over his/her hit song, "This Is What You Came For."

Calvin reacted to TMZ's story -- that Taylor wrote the lyrics and recorded a demo of the song, which Calvin used to produce the final edit ... with Rihanna singing.

He started with a compliment, saying Taylor is an "Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual." But then came his true feelings -- "I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret."

During the Twitter rant, he also said it was "hurtful" that Taylor and co. are trying to make him look bad -- and suggested she focus on her new relationship, instead of attacking him.

And then the coup de grace -- a reference to (and confirmation of) her most famous beef. Before him.

Somewhere Taylor Swift is writing a song.

Being one of the biggest stars of the Pokemon universe wasn't enough to get actress Veronica Taylor any special treatment -- she was shut out of all the "Pokemon Go" action.

Veronica played Ash, the Pokemon trainer, on the animated show's first 8 seasons -- and she tells TMZ, she was dying to jump on board to play when 'PG' was released last Thursday. However, game creators initially limited the number of people on the game -- to prevent crashes -- and Veronica got the short end.

Check out the video ... Veronica had some interesting advice on how to safely play the game -- and also revealed when she was finally able to join the craze.

Yes, Ash is currently attempting to catch 'em all.

Rock band My Morning Jacket allegedly caused a car accident so bad it disfigured the victim ... who's now taking the guys to court.

Margarito Gonzalez filed a lawsuit against singer Jim James and the band. Gonzalez claims James was behind the wheel of a Mazda 2 driving the other MMJ members in Denver when he struck his car. In the suit, Gonzalez says the singer was driving recklessly and following too closely.

Gonzalez says James' negligence injured him so badly, it's stopping him from enjoying his life as he did before the 2013 wreck.

TMZ Sports has obtained Draymond Green's mug shot -- showing the NBA star smiling while wearing an "Attack the Glass" shirt ... after allegedly hitting a Michigan State football player.

Lamar Odom made it to NYC after all and looked fully recovered from his puking session on the plane ... because he beelined it for a strip club.

Lamar was photographed hanging with friends and staffers at CityScapes Gentlemen's Club in Queens on Tuesday night. A far cry from his Monday night -- we broke the story ... Odom was kicked off his Delta flight after vomiting multiple times while attempting to catch a red-eye.

Sources at the club tell us he arrived at 3:15 AM in a white G-Wagon, and chilled in VIP with 3 guys, security, and some chicks. We're told Lamar was not seen drinking.

Queens is LO's home turf and before he supported the local strippers ... he hit up a basketball court to show some love to neighborhood kids.

Yin and yang.

Taylor Swift really is the creative brains behind Calvin Harris' monster hit "This is What You Came For," and their relationship fell apart because he disrespected her when the song was released ... this according to sources connected with Taylor.

It's a fascinating story. We've learned an early fan rumor about the song is true, but to a deeper extent than anyone suspected. During their relationship, Taylor wrote the song, sat down at a piano and did a demo into her iPhone. She sent it to Calvin, who loved it. They both went into a studio and did a full demo with Taylor on vocals and Calvin doing the beat.

They both knew the song would be a hit, but Taylor wrote it for Calvin and both agreed it was a bad idea to let the world know they collaborated as a couple ... it would overshadow the song.

So Taylor, who kept the publishing rights, used the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg on the credits.

Fast forward to April 29th. Calvin released the song with Rihanna and it became an instant hit. It's been at #1 or #2 on the Dance/Electronic chart for 9 weeks, and is #5 on the Billboard 100.

The problem in the relationship came the day the song was released. Calvin appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show and Ryan asked, "Will you do a collaboration with your girlfriend?" Calvin responded, "You know we haven't even spoken about it. I can't see it happening though."

We're told Taylor was hurt and felt Calvin took it too far.

It was a quick downward spiral from that point. One source called it "the breaking point in the relationship." The Met Gala was several days later, when Taylor danced with Tom Hiddleston.

BTW ... Taylor has the right to prohibit Calvin from performing the song, but she hasn't and doesn't plan to exercise that right. Ironically, Calvin once wrote a song with then-GF Rita Ora and when they broke up he yanked her right to perform it.

As for why the squad is talking now ... we're told they're sick of Calvin trashing Taylor and feel he should be thanking her for quietly giving him a smash hit.

We reached out to Taylor's rep. So far no word back.
