According to reports, there were some issues with getting clearances for a few of the tracks, so "He's Dead," "I Feel Good," "Without You" ft. Bibi Bourelly, and "Thinking Bout You" are all missing. However, "We Livin' Like That" is an add-on that wasn't on the original release's tracklist. Check it out and enjoy the walk down memory lane with Wayne's FWA. Tracklist 1. Glory 2.

Love him or hate him, Russ has been making major moves in the entertainment industry. The author and artist has been laying out a blueprint that many others envy, especially as an independent artist who is in full control of his career. His recent release, Shake the Snow Globe, was an acclaimed project that his fans are still streaming, and on Friday (July 3), the rapper kicked off the 4th of July holiday weekend with a new single "Live From the Villa."

Following his string of releases with Brevin Kim that later resulted in a collaborative EP titled Metallic Body Language, rising artist Lil West is back. The Delaware native has returned with a fan favorite that he previously independently released, but now that he's a Republic Records artist, it's time for "Give It All Up" to receive an official drop.

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 3 Jul 2020 00:31 GMT

They're starting the hype around the next Fast & Furious film early. While the ninth movie in the long-running series is set for release in April 2021, the Road to Fast 9 Mixtape has already begun dropping tracks. Back in mid-June, NBA YoungBoy and Lil Baby shared their single "One Shot" from the soundtrack, and we're ushering in July with another song, this time courtesy of Tory Lanez and Kevin Gates. The two hitmaking artists collaborated on "Convertible Burt" from the Road to Fast 9 Mixtape project.

Gucci Mane Drops Off Feature-Heavy Collab Project "Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 3 Jul 2020 00:02 GMT

He's made a few controversial remarks over on his social media pages lately, but that hasn't kept Gucci Mane from taking over Summer 2020—or whatever is left of it. Recently, we've watched as Gucci has had a rant or two on social media about the current state of his dealings with his label, Atlantic Records. He called them "polite racist," and later apologized for his "harsh" language. The controversy came just ahead of his Friday (July 3) release Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer, so it was probably best to get things squared away before the record hit streaming services. Gucci Mane has been putting in quite a bit of work because Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer is just another in a long line of projects that the southern rapper has delivered in less than a year. He dropped off Woptober II in October 2019 and then followed that up with East Atlanta Santa 3 in December. The rapper gave us Delusions of Granduer back in June, and it's rumored that later on this year, he's all set to share his book The Gucci Mane Guide to Greatness. Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer is a collaborative effort packed with additional vocals from artists including Future, Foogiano, Young Thug, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Young Nudy, So Icy Girlz, Pooh Shiesty, Big Scarr, BIG30, Moneybagg Yo, Tay Keith, K Shiday, Ola Runt, and Key Glock. Check it out and let us know what you think. Tracklist 1. Step Out ft. Future & Foogiano 2. Rain Shower ft. Young Thug 3. Both Sides f.t Lil Baby 4. Nasty ft. 21 Savage & Young Nudy 5. Breasto ft.

Pop Smoke's Memory Is Honored On "Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 23:07 GMT

The road to receiving this Pop Smoke album has been a rocky one. When the world lost the young rapper unexpectedly back in February, fans were shocked. Pop Smoke was an artist who was poised to have a long-standing career ahead of him as he sought out mentors in the game, but tragically his life was cut short after he was callously murdered during a home invasion. Later, 50 Cent shared that he would have a hand in crafting the album, which was later to be revealed with the title Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. After a bit of controversy surrounding the Virgil Abloh cover art, it seems that Pop Smoke's team was able to come together and get things squared away just in time for Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon's Friday (July 3) release. Features on the record include looks from Quavo, Lil Baby, DaBaby, 50 Cent, Roddy Ricch, Future, Swae Lee, Rowdy Rebel, Tyga, Karol G, and King Combs. Give Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon a few spins and let us know if they did well by Pop Smoke's memory with this one. Tracklist 1. Bad B*tch from Tokyo (Intro) 2. Aim for the Moon ft. Quavo 3.

"Ellen" Producers Deny Cancellation Rumors

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 22:52 GMT

Producers for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" are speaking out to deny rumors that the show is being canceled due to declining ratings and poor staff morale. Representatives from Telepictures Television, the production company behind the famous talk show, declared, "Telepictures can confirm it's untrue,” in a statement made to Page Six. Rumors of the show’s cancellation started to rise after The Sun published a report claiming that ratings for Season 17 of the show were down 14 percent, citing TVNewsCheck statistics. The Sun’s report also highlighted several comments, some from DeGeneres’ co-workers, including comedians and one television writer, who claim she is not fun to work with. Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty ImagesOne of the most interesting stories in the report came from Ellen’s bodyguard who said “Ellen is the one person that I've been assigned to -- and I've been assigned to quite a few celebrities -- that has never taken the time to say hi to me," concluding that she is "very cold." DeGeneres also came under fire recently after 30 show staffers spoke anonymously to Variety, claiming that DeGeneres did not communicate with them about their employment status amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. These employees say they were not given any direct information regarding the show’s status, their hours, or their pay for over a month after regular production was halted.

California Governor Shuts Down Restaurants & More Amid COVID-19 Spike

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 22:37 GMT

California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered 19 counties with surging coronavirus cases to shut down indoor restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, and other venues on Wednesday. These businesses were reopened at the beginning of May when California’s curve was flattening and the pandemic seemed to be more under control. Newsom and other public officials are particularly worried that the 4th of July will bring large public gatherings, further exacerbating California’s already growing coronavirus problem. “We’ve seen increased activity where people simply aren’t able to practice social distancing,” he said at a briefing. “When we talk about this dimmer switch, it’s not an on-and-off switch. It’s based upon local conditions.” Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesThe new restrictions, effective in 19 counties, will affect about three-quarters of California’s population, including residents of the Los Angeles and Sacramento counties, as well as several counties in the Bay Area. Newsom also ordered the shutdown of all bars and breweries, both outdoor and indoor in these areas. California will also close parking lots at state beaches from Monterey to Sonoma for the holiday weekend as State Parks Director Lisa Mangat says people should celebrate the Fourth “differently this year. ” “Let’s do our best to meet this moment, as we met the moment many months ago and bent the curve again the first time,” Newsom declared. “Let’s do it again.” [via] via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/california-governor-shuts-down-restaurants-and-more-amid-covid-19-spike-news.113645.html

Nike Pulls Washington Redskins Gear Amid Call For Team Name Change

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 22:28 GMT

For years, the Washington Redskins have been called out over the name of their team. Indigenous Americans have repeatedly pointed out the offensive moniker, but many fans have contested that it isn't a big deal, regardless of it being considered a racial slur. Recent protests have prompted businesses to revaluate their practices, and there is a renewed call for the Redskins to adopt a new name. On Thursday (July 2), the Washington Redskins became a trending topic on Twitter after it was announced that a team of investment firms and non-profit organizations asked sponsors like Nike, FedEx, and PepsiCo to sever ties with the team if it didn't make the desired change. Later, it was noticed that if you search Nike's website for Redskins gear, the company has removed all of the team's attire. While the progressive move has been applauded by many, others have taken the opportunity to ask the company to be candid about how and where its gear is made. Check out a few responses below and let us know if the Washington Redskins should enact a name change. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/nike-pulls-washington-redskins-gear-amid-call-for-team-name-change-news.113681.html

Sia Stopped Child Actress Maddie Ziegler From Flying With Harvey Weinstein

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 22:04 GMT

Sia recently appeared on the Zach Sang show, taking time to explain some details about her relationship with star child actress Maddie Ziegler. Most notably, the outspoken singer revealed a particularly crazy story about the time she stopped Ziegler from going onto Harvey Weinstein’s plane with him. “You know I kept her off a plane that Harvey Weinstein tried to get her on. Yeah, that was really disgusting…” she stated. "When he invited her, that's when I called, I told [Ziegler’s mother] Melissa, I had to. I just said, ‘Please don't, do not do that, do not do that, do not do that."' Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesZiegler, now 17, first rose to fame as a star on the popular Lifetime reality series Dance Moms. Sia says that she has “always felt this extreme compulsion to protect Maddie” since she met her while working on her “Chandelier” music video when Ziegler was 11. “As soon as I met Maddie I felt this extreme desire to protect her, and I think that it was part of my own healing, and I felt this extreme compulsion to protect her," she added. Weinstein, once a famed and respected Miramax producer, is currently serving a 23 year prison sentence for numerous sexual assaults he committed over the course of his career. It is unclear exactly how old Ziegler was when Weinstein invited her to fly with him.

Herman Cain, Former Presidential Candidate, Contracts COVID-19 Following Trump Rally

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 22:02 GMT

There was a time in 2011 when Herman Cain wanted to become the Republican nominee for the President of the United States, but his hopes were quickly dashed. The businessman and Donald Trump supporter was one of many visitors to attended the president's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on June 20. Cain was photographed sans mask, sitting in the stands with other guests. Rick Diamond / Staff / Getty ImagesNow, it's being reported by Hermain Cain and his team that the 74-year-old has been diagnosed with COVID-19. "On Monday, June 29, Herman Cain was informed that he had tested positive for COVID-19. By Wednesday, July 1, Mr. Cain had developed symptoms serious enough that he required hospitalization," Cain's team shared in a statement on Twitter. "He spent the past night in the hospital and as of today, Thursday, July 2, he is resting comfortably in an Atlanta-area hospital. Mr. Cain did not require a respirator, and he is awake and alert." In recent weeks, Herman Cain has seemed to reject the continued demands of wearing a mask, but his friend, Dan Calabrese, has reportedly stated that there is no way to determine if the Tulsa rally was how and why Cain contracted coronavirus. "COVID-19 is a horrible thing to experience, and while we are sure Herman will beat it just like he beats everything, he really needs prayer right now .... this is really going to require all of his strength," said Calabrese. Read through Cain's team's statement below. [via] via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/herman-cain-former-presidential-candidate-contracts-covid-19-following-trump-rally-news.113680.html

Netflix Drops "Fatal Affair" Trailer Starring Nia Long & Omar Epps

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 21:45 GMT

With everyone trapped inside for copious amounts of time during quarantine, you may have found yourself running out of compelling content to watch on Netflix. Thankfully, fans of the streaming service have a lot to look forward to throughout the rest of July. Netflix has announced it will be clearing out some of its old selections to make room for a large rehaul of new material this month. One of Netflix's planned series that is causing a lot of buzz is Fatal Affair, a show that seemingly possesses high potential given its star-studded cast. This domestic-thriller series features Stephen Bishop and Nia Long, a seemingly perfect couple whose lives are upended when Long's ex, played by Boyz N The Hood star Omar Epps, comes back into the picture. An affair ensues between Long and Epps, which, as pictured in the series' trailer, becomes increasingly erratic (and potentially fatal, as the show's title suggests). Fatal Affair is directed by Peter Sullivan, the director of Netflix's psychological thriller film Secret Obsession. It is set to be released on July 16. In the meanwhile, you can check out some of our other favorite Netflix selections, listed here. Check out the full trailer for Fatal Affair below. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/netflix-drops-fatal-affair-trailer-starring-nia-long-and-omar-epps-news.113621.html

Ben Affleck Will Reportedly Return As Batman

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 21:09 GMT

Ben Affleck just may be returning to play Batman once again. Warner Bros recently announced that they will be dropping Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League. Meanwhile, as fans are highly anticipating the “Snyder Cut,” The Culture Nerd is reporting that Ben Affleck has signed a deal with the studio to return as Bruce Wayne for further productions. Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesAffleck’s signing with Warner Bros has been confirmed by 3 other outlets, but to be fair, this could mean anything from cameos to a miniseries or even a complete feature film. TCN says that they believe Affleck’s original version of The Batman, which was canned when Affleck left the part and Matt Reeves took over, could actually be in the works now. While Affleck reunites with Warner Bros, the company is also planning the release of The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, as Michael Keaton is preparing to play him in the Flash. The studio seemingly just can't get enough of The Dark Knight.

Tim P. Whitby/Getty ImagesIt seems likely that Warner Bros will share more information about their Batman plans at the DC Fandome event, which is coming up in August. For right now, fans will need to remain patient as we await more exciting Batman news. [via] via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ben-affleck-will-reportedly-return-as-batman-news.113650.html

Irv Gotti Questions If Drake Has A "Masterpiece" Album, Calls Travis Scott "Incredible"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 21:07 GMT

Murder Inc. head honcho Irv Gotti is sharing his thought about this generation of music makers, and he has quite a bit to say. Irv has never failed when delivering commentary about hip hop culture, especially since he helped lead one of the greatest music movements with his label as he promoted artists like Ashanti and Ja Rule. During his interview with The Breakfast Club earlier this week, Irv Gotti talked about artists making monumental, "impactful" albums, and while Drake is largely celebrated throughout the music industry, Irv says the only artist that has been able to make something that has caught his attention is Travis Scott. Paras Griffin / Stringer / Getty Images"You don't see or hear from the young generation albums, impactful albums," Irv Gotti said. "You feel impactful singles. Listen, Imma even say Drake, who I love. Drizzy, I love you, you know I love you, you know what I am saying? You know, 'Murder Inc. like my n*gga Irv,' that's me. Aye, I love you, I love your music, but would you say Drizzy has delivered an album to that stature? Which I know he can, but I don't know if he collectively put that energy and said, 'I'm gonna deliver a masterpiece.' Does Drizzy have a masterpiece?" "The only artist that I give it to, really, is Travis Scott," Irv added. " That last album, that Brian McKnight or whatever, when I put that album in I was like, 'Yo, who is this guy?' When I heard he produces and everything I was like, 'He's incredible.' You know what I'm saying? I feel like he's the only artist that's a young generational artist where I feel he put so much thought and energy into production. Most of these artists guys, they get a beat off the internet, it's a two mix. Envy, they don't even mix it. They take the two mix, drop a vocal, and put it out." Check out Irv's interview with The Breakfast Club below and let us know what you think about his remarks on Drake and Travis Scott. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/irv-gotti-questions-if-drake-has-a-masterpiece-album-calls-travis-scott-incredible-news.113679.html

Moneybagg Yo Is Open To Collaborating With G Herbo

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 20:37 GMT

Earlier this week, Moneybagg Yo dropped his latest single, "Said Sum." Just ahead of its release, the rapper shared a few lines from his track that included controversial remarks that some people believed with potshots towards a few people in his life. "I thought a hoe dat be speaking on me but be f*ckn a broke n*gga said sum," Moneybagg wrote in one tweet. In another he penned, "I thought a n*gga who watch wat I do but can’t get his b*tch back said sum." Steven Ferdman / Stringer / Getty ImagesA fan asked Gervonta Davis, Moneybagg's girlfriend Ari Fletcher's ex, if the line could be about him. Gervonta replied that it couldn't be, so some believed that the rapper may be taking a dig at G Herbo, the father of Ari's child. However, with as much drama as people try to pit between rappers these days, Moneybagg Yo hinted that he doesn't have a problem with the Chicago rapper. On Thursday (July 2), Moneybagg took some time to chat with fans and one person told him that he should consider collaborating with G Herbo. "Dat would be hard," the rapper responded.

Akademiks Apologizes After "Complex News" Suspension Over Chrissy Teigen Remarks

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 20:08 GMT

First Twitch, now Complex. Akademiks has built much of his popularity around being unfiltered, but it's biting him in the butt in recent days. It's been announced that following his tirades on Twitch, the platform has suspended the blogger. It was also revealed that the Everyday Struggle host has been suspended from Complex News over his rant against Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. Akademiks viciously spouted off insults to the crooner and his wife after he said she allegedly "sneak dissed" him in the past, and it looks as if Complex believes he went too far. “I definitely wanna start off by kind of like apologizing for some of the stuff that’s been going on outside the show,” he said. “In particular, you know, while I'm defending myself, versus rappers... I think I definitely went over the line when I was addressing a few women. I just felt, that just wasn’t right. After thinking about it, even seeing the clip, it’s nasty." "Truth be told, given everything that’s going on not only the world, given what’s going on with the current climate at Complex and also former employees and current employees, also working with Nadeska, someone I have a lot of love for, I just felt it was completely out of pocket and something that I had to admit that yo, you can't be a hypocrite saying you're going to be an ally." He went on to say that he "spoke to Complex leadership about it" and Akademiks apologized once again to anyone who was offended. "With that being said, I think we have to have some type of action," he added. He said he's taking "the next two episodes off" and that Complex agreed with the decision. Check out his video below. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/akademiks-apologizes-after-complex-news-suspension-over-chrissy-teigen-remarks-news.113677.html

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 19:30 GMT

He just wanted to congratulate businesswoman Erika James for becoming Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania's first Black and woman dean, but an Instagram user wouldn't let Omari Hardwick be great. The Power actor took to his Instagram to post a lengthy inspirational message in the caption of a photo of Erika James when a user commented, "You asking do we value us?? Meanwhile you choose a white woman. Smh. I can never take u type of guys serious.” Dominik Bindl / Stringer / Getty ImagesOmari Hardick, who regularly defends his marriage to Jennifer Pfautch, clapped back something fierce. “I am not asking anything. As I stated… it is a rhetorical question we are all in the process of," the actor replied. "Whether that process is on the questioning side or the asking side. I will never answer that question from a person who proves my point in asking it with your disgraceful comment. You know nooothing about Jae nor my kids. I would NEVER disrespect your significant other or your kids. So watch your mouth in disrespecting mine a). b) This entire post of course consistent with me…proves how much i value black people, black women, black men, mySELF. A person’s life/journey mate (which if done right… has god in that choice equally) has nothing to do with that person’s value of themselves & the people that person’s culture/race.” He added, "Meanwhile....i know not to ever send anyone i care about to you for your craft used in being a nurse.

Knicks Want No Part Of NBA's Chicago Bubble City

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 19:07 GMT

New York Knicks fans are well-aware of their team's shortcomings. I mean, it's well-documented. Since the 1970s, the New York Knicks have been incapable of winning anything, except a draft lottery or two, but realistically those don't actually count. Team owner James Dolan has been highly-regarded as a laughing stock and the team very rarely does anything right. Now, the team is under more scrutiny as they are casting themselves as the odd-man-out for the NBA's new idea. Earlier today, we reported that the NBA plans on doing a second bubble city in Chicago, except it will be for the eight teams that didn't qualify for Orlando. Well, according to the New York Post, the Knicks are the only team with no interest in participating in the second bubble. Instead, the Knicks would rather wait until after the draft and hold a regular training camp. Of course, the Knicks have every right to refuse such a thing although, at this point, it's suspicious that it's always the Knicks that find themselves in these predicaments. Clearly, some things just never change, regardless of the personnel. Stay tuned for updates on the NBA's bubble cities as we will continue to bring you the latest. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/knicks-want-no-part-of-nbas-chicago-bubble-city-news.113674.html
