Tee Grizzley And 42 Dugg Get Aggressive On New Single "Detroit"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 07:00 GMT

Tee Grizzley and 42 Dugg make hard music. They've built their brand around it. Both rappers hail from Detroit, and give off a specific kind of intensity. It's helped them get to where they are today. Grizzley and 42 Dugg have both blown up in recent years, so it was only a matter of time before they linked back up. The last time these two were on a song together was "Hard Players." Now, Tee Grizzley and Dugg are showcasing pride for where they came from. "Detroit" is every bit as gritty as its title suggests. Big Sean may have laid claim to Detroit as an album title, but Grizz and Dugg are holding down the D as a song. Tee Grizzley kicks off "Detroit" with an absolutely relentless flow. He finds such a pocket that the drums drop out around the 0:35 second mark, and he still keeps going. Grizzley is not playing around, as shown in his absolutely ruthless bars. "I be in a trap with old heads that's richer than Joe Biden (N*gas loaded)," he spits. "F*ck with me, dog, but don't fuck with me, dog. That pain nobody wanna feel, that's what we cause." Tee Grizzley is a tough act to follow, but he picked the right rapper to hold down the back end of "Detroit." 42 Dugg adopts a slower, more melodic flow. It works. He manages to communicate a sense of aggression while sounding smoother on the propulsive beat. Tee Grizzley and 42 Dugg don't break the mold or anything, but they really do the mold proud.

Coldplay Brings Little Simz, Burna Boy And More Together For "WE PRAY"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 05:50 GMT

Coldplay are a strange band. They're enormously popular, and enormously experimental. They have dabbled in lots of different sounds. Yet, the Coldplay-isms creep through, and their music, as least as of late, feels inescapably safe. They have been around for decades at this point. That said, the band really tried to step out its comfort zone with its new single "WE PRAY." The single has a stellar roster of guest features, including Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI. It's truly a global endeavor, and we have to hand it to Coldplay on this one. They make the sounds of all these disparate artists work together. The instrumental is the first thing we hear. It's made up a lot of different pieces. There's a warbling bass line underneath and a massive string section overhead. In the middle, Coldplay singer Chris Martin goes for a breathy, whispery cadence. It's not the catchiest thing in the world, frankly, but Martin's vocals kick in during the bombastic chorus. The musical tension present during the verses works much better for the flows of the guests. Little Simz sounds immaculate over the beat, as does Burna Boy. The former steals the show with a sixteen that goes by in the blink of an eye. We didn't have a collab with all these people on our 2024 bingo board, but we got a good song out of it.

Jessie Reyez And Lil Wayne Rock Out On New Single "Ridin"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 04:47 GMT

Jessie Reyez has a very distinct sound. She's blessed with a voice that's immediately recognizable. The power of her voice also allows her to try her hand at different genres and sounds. She can go soft, or go into a more sultry, R&B lane. Her new single, "Ridin," is neither. Jessie Reyez joins forces with Lil Wayne for a song that has much more of a rock edge that fans are used to. Neither artist are the first ones that come to mind when discussing rock, but they manage to navigate this sonic mashup with style. Fans of Rebirth era Lil Wayne: rejoice. "Ridin" starts off with a bubbling bassline reminiscent of a 90s radio anthem. The tension is bolstered by Jessie Reyez's lyrics. "Windows down, yeah, we're ridin'. I lean the seat back, let you right in," she sings intensely. "With the other hand, you're still drivin'." The song is as layered as a song titled "Ridin" should be, which is to say, not very. No problem, though. The chorus hits like a car crash when it finally comes in and Reyez gives it everything she's got. The appeal of "Ridin" definitely lies in the tension between the quiet verses and the blown out chorus. Lil Wayne provides lots of sex metaphors, and we even get a Tesla bar to keep the "ridin" theme going strong. Another strong Jessie Reyez release.

Usher Kicks Off Anticipated Tour After Suffering Serious Neck Injury

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 03:44 GMT

Usher was born to perform. Few artists have managed to rival the electricity of prime Michael Jackson. Usher, however, has managed to do so for multiple decades. Fans were absolutely thrilled to discover that Usher was planning a "Past, Present, Future" tour that would incorporate his iconic hits. A neck injury seemed as though it would derail the singer's tour plans, but he bounced back. Usher made sure the fans got what they wanted, and kicked off his tour this week in Washington, D.C. TMZ confirmed that Usher put on stellar shows on both Tuesday and Wednesday at the Capital One Arena. The singer was electric as ever in terms of performance. He also found time to bring out several guest stars including Raheem DeVaughn and Wale. Usher has worked with both artists in the past, and their D.C. roots made them a natural inclusion. There was some initial concern that Usher would have to postpone his tour for several weeks due to the severity of his injury. He broke the news regarding the injury on Instagram on August 15. "Earlier this week, I suffered an injury to my neck," he wrote. "While rehearsing to provide my fans with the greatest Usher show of all time."

Shows that were set to be in the singer's hometown of Atlanta. He was disappointed, but maintained that his doctors told him to rest up. "The injury has not healed yet, and my doctors have instructed me not to perform any shows this week," he continued. "The good news is that the doctors are saying that with appropriate rest and treatment, I should be ready to commence the tour on August 20." To the singer's credit, he did just that. He made good on his word, and gave the D.C. crowd two stellar shows. Fans who missed the first week of shows needn't worry. TMZ reports that Usher will make up the ATL leg of his tour in December. The singer noted his Instagram post by reminding fans that he takes performing very seriously. He will whatever necessary to provide attendees with the best possible show. "I love my fans," he wrote. "Thank you for understanding that this injury must be healed so that I can give you the 100% excellence that you expect from an Usher show and that I will be on stage in your city very soon." Usher's "Past, Present, Future" tour is slated run through 2025.

Drake Treats Fans To "No Face," "Circadian Rhythm" And "Supersoak"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 02:30 GMT

Drake knows how to keep the fans fed. The Toronto rapper has dropped three brand new songs, "No Face," "Circadian Rhythm" and "Supersoak." It feels like he's trying to figure out a model for dropping loosie songs, the way he used to on SoundCloud. It's the second time the 6 God has done this, and we have to admit, the new batch is better. The three songs Drake put out on August 23 display more range and versatility. At the end of the day, Drizzy's strength lies in his ability to do more things than most of the competition. "No Face" is a chance for Drake to get some combative bars off with Playboi Carti. It definitely is a Carti song, first and foremost, but the veteran rapper acclimates well. "Circadian Rhythm" is a Drake throwback, which is to say, it's a catchy sequel to a song from 2013. He drops more subliminal bars. Some of them are seemingly aimed at Kendrick Lamar, some aren't. It's a solid showcase with a deceptively catchy instrumental. Then there's "Supersoak," which is the obvious hit from the bunch. The earworm beat, a very catchy Drake flow on the verses, and a chorus that calls back to another rap classic. It'll be interesting to see if and when the songs end up on streaming. As of right now, Drake has only made them available on his Instagram burner.

Drake Seemingly Mocks Kendrick Lamar On New Song "Circadian Rhythm"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 01:28 GMT

Drake does not mention anybody by name on "Circadian Rhythm." The song refers to "they" during the rapper's verses, but the context is crucial. Drake is finally talking about the Kendrick Lamar battle on wax again, and he wants to make it clear he's not bothered. "Circadian Rhythm" is dedicated to this concept. The 6 God flips the meaning of the title to point out that he's still "up" when his competition is down. He hasn't lost a step, per his bars. There are specific lines littered throughout, though, that seem specifically aimed at K. Dot. "How many quotes I wrote? How much gold I struck? Ayy," Drake raps during second verse. "How many funeral dates they plan for me, and I dodged it like the truck? Yeah." The funeral dates seem like a fairly pointed reference to Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out Show on Juneteenth. The concert was dubbed a funeral for Drake online, due to how much Lamar celebrating onstage. He played "Not Like Us" a whopping five times to close out the show. Drake's rebuttal? He's still here, still alive despite Dot's best efforts. Read More: ASAP Rocky Catches Heat For His Dismissive Drake Beef Comments Drake's Title References A Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Drake - Circadian Rhythm (The Language 2) pic.twitter.com/np4nCb69Bf — (@plottttwisttttt) August 23, 2024 It's also worth noting the use of the phrase "Circadian Rhythm." It's never said once during the song. A song in which it is said, though, is Kendrick Lamar's "6:16 In L.A." The Compton rapper pulled out these specific words on his second official Drake diss. "I know this type of power is gon' cost," Dot raps. "But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star." Drake and Kendrick Lamar are not artists who do things by accident. Everything is intentional with them, so it's hard to imagine this is a mere coincidence. The title of the song also prove important with regards to Drake's past. The rapper subtitled "Circadian Rhythm" as "The Language 2." This is obviously in reference to his 2013 song, "The Language." The connection is noteworthy, because the original song is believed to be Drake's response to Kendrick Lamar after the latter dropped the "Control" verse. Drizzy and Kenny were involved in a cold war in 2013, and the former clearly sends subs the latter's way. "I don't know why they've been lying but your sh*t is not that inspiring," he raps. "F*ck any n**ga that's talkin' that sh*t just to get a reaction." Time really is a flat circle.

Rick Ross Sends Ominous Message To Music Industry Insiders: Watch

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 00:20 GMT

Rick Ross fancies himself a businessman as well as a rapper. Hence all the "boss" talk. He runs MMG, and he's been openly critical of labels who don't properly deal with their artists. It's part of the reason Ross and Birdman had such an ugly falling out. Rick Ross has decided to set his sights higher than the Cash Money founder, though. The rapper went on Instagram Live on August 23 to announce that a storm is coming in the music industry. And he wants to help wash away all the corruption that's taken root. "As an artist, but also as a businessman," Rick Ross told his followers. "There's been a lot of shakeups at the top of the industry. And I would like to know the ramifications." The rapper went on to name several notable industry figures who have been let go in recent years. "When you see the titans in the industry being replaced, is it a good thing," he questioned. "Is it a bad thing? How do you take it? Did they no longer have their finger on the pulse to find the next Ice Spice?" Rick Ross lets these questions settle with the viewer before continuing. Read More: Drake Fan Who Punched Rick Ross Trolls Him With New Diss Track, "White Boy" Rick Ross Likened The Music Industry to 'Game Of Thrones' View this post on Instagram A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom) The MMG boss makes it clear that change is in the air, and he's going to be involved in said change. Regardless of where it takes him. He even threw out a lengthy parallel to Game of Thrones, and the way that power is meant to change hands. "The kings and queens are being beheaded," he noted. He then quoted one of his own songs. "The game ain't based on sympathy," he asserted. "So if the higher-ups could find someone better to do it for cheaper, your f*cking head will roll next." Rick Ross isn't the only rapper who has been talking industry politics. Kanye West, a frequent Rozay collaborator, has been embroiled in a very public battle with Atlantic Records. West claimed that the label threatened to take his last two albums down from streaming platforms. He also said that Julie Greenwald, a longtime Atlantic CEO, has been let go. Rick Ross previously stated that he wanted to sign Kanye West to MMG. Now, however, it seems like both rappers are aiming to maintain control of what they have.

Drake Fires Back At Rappers Who Dissed Him On New Song "No Face"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 23:15 GMT

Drake is keeping it moving. The dust has barely settled on the rapper's "100 GIGS" release, and now we have three new songs. A lot of the attention will go to "Supersoak," the anticipated Lil Yachty leak that no longer features Lil Yachty. That said, "No Face" has the most fascinating bars. Drake and Playboi Carti go back and forth on a hard rage beat. Carti does his thing, per usual. Drake, however, takes the time to call out the rappers who dissed him in 2024. It's a long list, and the Toronto superstar decides to side swipe them all with a couple lines. We've heard Drake go the detailed route. "Push Ups" and "Family Matters" were instances of him dissing each of his enemies specifically. He found time to poke fun at The Weeknd, Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, and of course, Kendrick Lamar. "No Face" opts for a different approach. The 6 God decides to go vague with it, and hint at what's to come. "I'm just so happy," he raps. "That n**gas who envied and held that sh*t in got to finally show it." The second line, though, is more ominous. "I'm over the moon, yeah, we'll see you boys soon," Drake adds. This isn't the only time on "No Face" the 6 God decides to address what went down between him and the rest of the rap game.

Numbers untouchable, they got the data wrong... the... pic.twitter.com/MLYViGJ8tX — SOUND (@itsavibe) August 23, 2024 Much has been made about Drake's diminishing ability to make hits. The "Drake stimulus package" that ran R&B and hip hop for over a decade has been labeled obsolete. The rapper doesn't much care for that take. He reminds everyone that he helped people like Ross, Rocky, and The Weeknd blow up. "This is the sh*t that my daddy had raised me on. N**gas got lit off the features I skated on," he spits. "I gotta know, I gotta know. How you get lit off the n**ga you hatin' on?" Drake is planning something big, and the bulk of his verse at the something without every revealing what it is. The rest of Drake's first verse bears this out. He even makes reference to the advice that people like OVO 40 have been giving him behind closed doors. "40 keep sayin' it's time to be patient," he explains. "It's so many people we turnin' the tables on. Capo got plans, but we'll save that for later on. Hush'll keep sayin' they know that they played it wrong." The 6 God is definitely back on his subliminal game. We're curious and excited to see where the rest of Drake's 2024 goes.

Drake Surprise Drops Three New Songs On Instagram

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 22:13 GMT

Drake is back. He wasn't gone that long, but still. The Toronto rapper surprised fans everywhere by dropping three new songs on his Instagram burner account. The songs include the unreleased collab with Playboi Carti, "No Face" and "Circadian Rhythm." The latter is billed as a sequel to the rapper's 2013 song "The Language." The biggest revelation, though, is that Drake finally put out a CDQ version of the highly anticipated song "Supersoak (SOD)." We knew it was coming, we just didn't realize it was going to be this soon. Drake previously linked up with Playboi Carti on "Pain 1993." The vibe for "No Face" is a lot more angry and aggressive than their first collab, though. It definitely sounds more like a Playboi Carti song that just has a Drake feature tacked onto it. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on how you feel about Carti. "Circadian Rhythm" is going to get the least attention, due to it having no feature or drama attached to it. That being said, it might just be the best song of the batch here. "Circadian Rhythm" has a great groove to it, and feels the most like a throwback Drake song. You'll be able to tell why he made it a sequel to "The Language." Read More: Mustard Completely Rules Out Working With Drake Following The Kendrick Lamar Beef Drake Officially Removed Lil Yachty From 'Supersoak' View this post on Instagram A post shared by COMPLEX (@complex) "Supersoak" is the big story here, though. Kai Cenat originally previewed the song during a live stream. Lil Yachty was featured on the original version. Yachty then went on the Flagrant podcast and claimed that the song would never be released due to a sample clearance issue. THEN Drake's people claimed that the song would be coming out officially. Only, Lil Yachty wouldn't be featured on it. This is what we meant when we previously alluded to "drama." The Drake and Yachty saga doesn't even get into Soulja Boy, and umbrage he took with Drake borrowing his "Supersoak" catchphrase. Drake and Soulja are not going to mend their fences, ever, it feels like. All that said, "Supersoak" is a hit. It's got a wildly catchy instrumental. It also features a Drake flow that is bound to get stuck in people's heads. There's been rumors that the rapper is already shooting a music video for the song, which all but confirms that it's his next big single. We've yet to given information as to what happened between Drake and Lil Yachty. That said, fans can bask in the fact that we finally have the "Supersoak" song. Hopefully they all land on streaming soon.

Hurricane Chris Claims He's Cool With 50 Cent After Dissing Him In Viral Rant

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 21:49 GMT

Hurricane Chris has had a rollercoaster week. The rapper went viral for criticizing 50 Cent's Humor & Harmony Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana. He appreciated the love (and the money) 50 brought to the city, but lamented the fact that no local artists were involved. Hurricane Chris, for context, was born and raised in Shreveport. He labeled 50 Cent a "culture vulture" for his antics. He also took the G-Unit rapper to task for spending $500K on law enforcement during the four day festival. After a few days, though, the rapper had a change of heart. Hurricane Chris clarified his feelings toward 50 Cent on August 22. He told KSLA News 12 that he has no personal issues with the G-Unit rapper, and felt like he'd been misunderstood. Calling someone "culture vulture" seems pretty pointed, but we digress. "It's no hate," Hurricane Chris told the outlet. "It's all love, but I must voice my opinion because I been here, and I been in Shreveport." The rapper went on to note that his negative comments toward 50 was a "big misunderstanding." He even said that he'd be willing to collaborate with the rapper at some point in the future. Read More: 50 Cent Can't Believe His Eyes After Diddy Gets Sued By Alleged Cartel Member Hurricane Chris Is Open To Collaborating With 50 Cent View this post on Instagram A post shared by KSLA News 12 (@kslanews12) The real issue Hurricane Chris had with the event was the lack of local exposure. He appreciated what 50 was doing for his hometown. He just felt like hometown artists should have been present. "[Shreveport does] have artists," the rapper told the outlet. "A lot of artists, more artists than that I can't even name that would rock stages like that. It's not about me." Hurricane Chris once again made sure that he was square with 50 following his viral remarks. "I definitely had no malice," he concluded. "It was just me wanting to see my community be respected... I was in one of those moods." 50 Cent didn't respond to Hurricane Chris' retraction, but he did respond to the rapper's initial disses. 50 responded exactly the way you would expect: memes and mockery. The G-Unit mastermind fired back at Hurricane Chris by dubbing him a one-hit wonder. "Oh no you not gonna play that one song you got," he wrote on his Instagram Story. "Bay Bay just went on stage wit Master P." In a separate IG Story, 50 Cent flat out called Chris wack. "Boy ya sh*t is wack," he wrote. "Ya sh*t gets no play in my ride." Hurricane Chris definitely picked a fight with the wrong guy. Hopefully 50 agrees to bury the hatchet.

Trippie Redd, LAZER DIM 700, & VonOff1700 Collab For Cutthroat Single "Murderman"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 21:18 GMT

In the mid to late 2010s, Canton, Ohio native Trippie Redd was a fresh voice for hip-hop. His blends of emo, heavy metal, pop rap, and trap brought some of the biggest songs of the decade. "Dark Knight Dummo", "Talking A Walk", "1400/ 999 Freestyle", "Topanga", and "Love Scars", are just a few. Additionally, he's done some decent work in the 2020s, especially at the start. However, the same cannot be said today and arguably over the last couple of years. For some reason, he cannot seem to recapture what made him so special at his peak. Unfortunately, the struggle for Trippie Redd continues this week too with "Murderman". At some point, he's going to be dropping LIFE'S A TRIP 2, the sequel to his well-received debut album of the same name. If more songs like "Murderman" are what we are going to be receiving, then this LP is doomed. Honestly, though, it's already trending in that direction. "LWRW" and "LGLG" are debatably some of the most repetitive and boring singles of 2024. "Bando Kid" is definitely the most respectable and closest return to form in our eyes, however. For "Murderman", though, Trippie is working with LAZER DIM 700 and VonOff1700, two more underground names who bring an extremely murderous tone. However, that's about all that they do here. At times, they try to sound like Playboi Carti's deep voice, including Trippie. If you haven't heard a VonOff feature or single, you are certainly in for an experience. We don't want to say any more, so check it out for yourself and see if you agree with our take.

Cardi B Admits She Hated Living In Atlanta As Offset Divorce Develops

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 20:49 GMT

Cardi B has revealed a little more details about her relationship with Offset amid their divorce, and this time around, it concerns their living situation. Moreover, you may have already heard that Pooh Shiesty jumped on this news quick and thirsted after the Bronx femcee. This even led to an apparent response from the former Migo, but regardless, their actual dynamic is not as contentious as this would have you believe. Still, she recently admitted via Instagram Live on Thursday (August 22) that she never liked living in Atlanta, as she felt very lonely. Also, Cardi explained why she's currently apartment-hunting in New York. "Right now, I'm in the city, and I need to go take a shower," Cardi B expressed, sharing that she's tired of having to use her engineer's gym's bathroom or rent hotels to shower. "I'm going to be coming to have meetings with my label like twice a week. And on top of that, I'm trying to get an office out here. I don't live in Atlanta, I have a house in Atlanta. I only go to Atlanta like three or four times a year. And probably I go for a week, maybe less. I tried to move to Atlanta in 2018 and I lived there for like six months. And I hated it. I don't have not one friend in Atlanta, and I don't have not even one family member in Atlanta. So I just don't like Atlanta."

Fans have been waiting for the project for a very long time, and we still don't know exactly when we can expect it to be in our hands. Nevertheless, Cardi B is very excited to show the Bardi Gang what she has in store. She certainly has a lot of topics to address these days, so we'll see if they appear on wax as well. Meanwhile, Cardi B said she's "comfortable" in New York and that she lives in her New Jersey home with her children. But elsewhere, other fans care less about the family drama and more about some rap beef speculation. She seemed to ask folks to not mention Nicki Minaj and JT during an Instagram Live session, responding directly to a fan who explicitly mentioned them. We'll see if 2024 holds any more diss tracks than what we already got.

Doechii Shares "BOOM BAP" One Week Ahead Of Her Upcoming Mixtape

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 20:31 GMT

It's a shame that Doechii doesn't get as much press as some of the other ladies in hip-hop. She might put the blinders on when it comes to that, but we know that she's a true superstar in the making. It might have to do with the fact that she just doesn't have as much material as some of her competitors. Heck, even her past EP-like projects have no more than 9 songs on them. However, that is all going to come to an end soon. Next Friday, August 30, the feisty Florida femcee will be sharing a new mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal. To promote the project, Doechii is dropping off a new single from it, "BOOM BAP". Like previous promo cuts, "BOOM BAP" is another release under Doechii's Swamp Session series on YouTube. Past inclusions are "BULLFROG", "CATFISH", and "NISSAN ALTIMA". The release date was announced about a week and a half ago and Doechii is looking forward to showing audiences a different side of Florida hip-hop. "I wanted to take my audience to the swamp. Not a lot of people see that very country Florida environment like that... So, I wanted to take them out of the city and show them a country aesthetic". A slice of that "aesthetic" is "BOOM BAP". It's a well-executed, multi-faceted track that sees Doechii go from "real rap" to a bouncier, house-like vibe about halfway through. This song is essentially a middle finger to those who think she can only create aggressive rap tracks. It's done to perfection and its building our anticipation for next week.

Judge Dismisses Charges Against Two Former Cops Involved In Breonna Taylor's Murder

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 20:21 GMT

The Breonna Taylor case just got a massive update, as federal U.S. District Court Judge Charles Simpson reportedly dismissed charges against two former police officers involved in the raid on her house in which cops murdered her. Former detective Joshua Jaynes and former officer Kyle Meany were charged with "submitting a false affidavit" back in 2022, which is what prompted the raid in the first place. Also, they faced accusations of fabricating a "false cover story in an attempt to escape responsibility for their roles" in designing the search warrant with "false information." These initial charges reportedly could've resulted in life sentences. According to TMZ, neither officer was there during the raid. Furthermore, on Thursday (August 22), Judge Simpson reportedly claimed that this search warrant did not cause Breonna Taylor's death. Rather, Simpson attributed her murder to her boyfriend Kenneth Walker and how he shot at officers, and characterized this as the "legal cause" of her death. "There is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death," the ruling reportedly reads. "Taylor's death was proximately caused by the manner in which the warrant was executed. Read More: Breonna Taylor's Family Detail The Night She Was Killed By Police Judge Dismisses Charges Against Cops Involved In Breonna Taylor's Murder View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) "[Kenneth Walker's] decision to open fire, as alleged and argued, was the natural and probable consequence of executing the warrant at 12:45 a.m. on 'an unsuspecting household,'" the ruling reportedly continued concerning Breonna Taylor. "That decision prompted the return fire, which hit and killed Taylor." Per TMZ, former detective Jaynes still faces "two counts of falsification of records, conspiracy to falsify records, and witness tampering" charges in this case. On the other hand, Meany faces "one charge of [making a] false statement to federal investigators." He and Jaynes could serve up to five and 40 years respectively if found guilty. "Louisville police is different," EST Gee shared last year. "You know how n***as teach them to not like the police? I don't want to say his name. He was involved in the Breonna Taylor s**t, one of the police officers. When I was little, he walked [into] a group of us home at gunpoint, on my granny. She lived in Turtle Creek. One of the dudes from the Breonna Taylor [murder]. So I had my own experience early. The police, they ain't never helped me."

GloRilla's R-Word Use In New Song Snippet Sparks Heated Debate

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 20:08 GMT

It's been a wildly successful year for GloRilla. Unfortunately, however, the femcee has now found herself at the center of a serious debate. Earlier this week, she took to social media to tease an upcoming track, and one lyric in particular caught the attention of listeners. "Me and my b*tch r******d," she raps. According to the Special Olympics, the R-word is a form of hate speech, which can be extremely offensive to those with intellectual disabilities or their loved ones. Social media users are now weighing in on GloRilla's use of the word on X, revealing whether or not they believe it's acceptable. While most agree that it's not, others argue that it's not a big deal, as long as it's not used to describe someone who actually has an intellectual disability. Read More: Breaking Down TikTok's Songs Of The Summer: Kendrick Lamar, GloRilla, Tinashe & More GloRilla Fans React To Her Latest Preview View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) "Why are we still using the R-word in 2024? I can't get with this one," an X user writes. "Ion like that R-word so it's a no for me," someone else says. Others are coming to GloRilla's defense, insisting she didn't have bad intentions. "Generation too damn weak and sensitive," one fan claims, a sentiment echoed by many. For those who don't recall, a similar debate was sparked back in 2022 over a lyric on Lizzo's track "Grrrls." Disability advocate and writer Hannah Diviney called the performer out for her use of the term "spaz," which is considered offensive in the UK to those who are disabled. Ultimately, she decided to change the lyrics and released a lengthy statement explaining why. "I never want to promote derogatory language," she said in part. "As a fat Black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I understand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case unintentionally)." What do you think of GloRilla sparking a huge debate with her latest song preview? Do you think people need to stop using the R-word in 2024?

Cash Cobain Drops His Biggest Project Yet With "PLAY CASH COBAIN"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 18:55 GMT

Cash Cobain has certainly built a reputable brand off of his sexy drill soundscape. You can pretty much say that he's essentially the sole creator of this wave in hip-hop, as there are a few copycats out there trying to replicate what he does. However, it's not nearly going to have the same impact. The Bronx/Jamaica, Queens native's name has become so massive that no one will probably trump him. However, in our honest opinion, that, along with some okay sample flipping, is about all we can give to PLAY CASH COBAIN. Unfortunately, the consistent aspect holding back drill as a whole is that it's difficult to keep each instrumental from sounding the same. This subgenre is known for its specific drum and hi-hat pattern, and it can feel as if its copied and pasted to each song. Pair that with Cobain's constant and sometimes over-reliant usage of samples, the 19-song tracklist became kind of bore pretty quickly. Additionally, when he raps, he uses the same sort of sleepy and warbly delivery on nearly every occasion. While we appreciate Cash Cobain's knowledge and respect of past work's, the repetitive nature is too much to overcome in the end.

Joe Budden Drags Playboi Carti In Response To "Complex" List

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 18:46 GMT

Earlier this month, Complex unveiled its list of the best rappers from Atlanta, which has since sparked a major debate. As expected, many readers disagreed with who made the list and where they were placed. Playboi Carti's ranking in particular prompted a great deal of backlash, as he came in at No. 12, ahead of artists like Jermaine Dupri, Killer Mike, Gunna, and more. B. Dot weighed in on his placement on Way Up With Angela Yee shortly after the list was published. He didn't hold back in the slightest, slamming the rapper and arguing that he was placed far too high. "I can't get jiggy with that," he said at the time. "Have you ever heard Playboi Carti's music? He raps in like Batman sound effects. He sucks. He's terrible."

While many think Playboi Carti can't hold a candle to those placed below him, others insist that his influence is undeniable, and can understand why he came in at No. 12. During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden decided to join the conversation, revealing that he agrees with B. Dot. "B.Dot, I'm with you, Playboi Carti is horrible to me," he admitted. His co-hosts agreed with him, even claiming that Playboi Carti shouldn't have made the list at all. "Playboi Carti is on this list because it's a Complex list, that's it," Budden added, suggesting that the outlet's readership simply overlaps with the rapper's fanbase. What do you think of Joe Budden's reaction to Playboi Carti's No. 12 spot on Complex's list of the best rappers from Atlanta? What about him calling the rapper "horrible"? Do you agree with him, or did he go too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Erica Mena Calls Ray J The N-Word During Shocking Rant

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 18:05 GMT

Earlier this week, Erica Mena took to Instagram Live to unleash a fiery rant on Ray J. During her rant, she went in on him, Princess Love, Monica, and more. "Talk your s**t lil n***a," she said. "I probably wasn't supposed to say that... Stop playing with me. All of y'all motherf******s. I'm not on that..." This prompted a lengthy response from Ray J, who shared a clip from the Live on Instagram yesterday. In his caption, he accused her of being racist. He also brought up her viral altercation on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, which saw her call her co-star Spice a "monkey." Ray J even took the opportunity to mention Mena's ex Safaree, who she frequently criticizes online.

Playboi Carti Tries To Explain Himself In Wild Body Cam Footage Of Traffic Stop

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 17:54 GMT

Playboi Carti is as mysterious as ever these days, which means that seeing him in mundane situations we can relate to is all the more bizarre. Moreover, new footage recently emerged of a 2022 traffic stop in which a police officer pulled him and Ken Carson over for going 84MPH in a 35 zone. In the clip below, Iggy Azalea's ex explained that they were "trying to get straight back home" with a female in the backseat who spoke unintelligibly. Then, he stepped out of the vehicle to continue the processing, and eventually got back to his vehicle. All in all, not the worst celebrity pull-over we've seen. Elsewhere, though, Playboi Carti is catching flack instead of engagement due to his high placement in Complex's best Atlanta rappers list (at number 12). "I can't get jiggy with that," B. Dot expressed on Way Up With Angela Yee. "Playboi Carti couldn't rap a GIF. Have you ever heard Playboi Carti's music? He raps in like Batman sound effects. He sucks. Absolutely, he's terrible. Am I alone in here? Okay. Nah, he's terrible."

(@big_business_) August 23, 2024 But B. Dot isn't the only rap-adjacent commentator with some critical smoke for Playboi Carti, although this next example is much more personal. You may recall that Adin Ross invited him for a livestream which transpired for all of a couple of minutes before the rapper dipped, allegedly finessing him out of millions of dollars. In fact, "King Vamp" even seemed to reference this on a recently leaked song, as he seemed to include a call between him and Ross on the intro. We doubt that this particular version of the song will ever come out, but a bag is a bag, so who knows what happens? But beyond all this criticism and speeding incidents, Playboi Carti fans remain very excited for what he's got for fans. In fact, this might relate not just to his long-awaited album, but to some other collaborative and performance updates. The "FE!N" duo teased a "OOCACTUS" concert, and Carti and Travis Scott electrified die-hards with this hint. For the sake of preserving surprises, we wouldn't put any money on this actually going down, but fans can dream...

It also left them with a lot of questions about what led to the tragic loss. Now, the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office has delivered some answers. According to TMZ, she died of an accidental overdose. Reportedly, oxycodone and benzodiazepines in particular were found in the young artist's system.

Ralo Delivers His First Record Since Prison Sentence, "Welcome Home"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 17:12 GMT

Ralo has certainly been through a lot over the last few years, but now he's feeling better than ever now that Welcome Home is out. The Atlanta, Georgia mainstay was doing six years of time for drug conspiracy charges, and you could tell that around the time of his release, he was feeling all sorts of emotions. It didn't help that he was remembering the loss of his close friend Marlo. "Marlo told me not to worry he was going to be the first person at the gate waiting on me when this s*** over. My release is in two weeks and I know life goes on, but this s*** aint da same as when we was passing this money around we was all happy and helping each other". However, as we said, Ralo was able to persevere and its why we have Welcome Home in front of us today. During our interview with him, he feels that this is what makes him tick as an artist and its why his fans mess with the way he goes about his music. "More people bought into me as a person, you know what I'm saying? Like, what I did for the community, what I do for the community, and you know, the way I was living, the way I was moving". That earnestness is all over the 16-song tracklist, which has features from Key Glock, Big Moochie Grape, Yungeen Ace, and more. It's great to have Ralo back in the game and we encourage you to check it out with the links below.

Joe Budden Mocks Kanye West For Bizarre Shoutout At Korea Listening Event

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:59 GMT

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign took over Korea's Goyang Stadium with their Vultures 2 listening experience last night, and as expected, are making headlines for various bizarre moments. For one, Ye dedicated his track "I Wonder" to Drake, which led to some debate. While some fans thought this was meant as a diss, others suspect he was simply using Drizzy's name for clout. It wasn't the only confusing part of the evening, however. At one point in the show, Ye also gave Joe Budden a shoutout during "24," following it up with "God's not finished." Obviously, there's room for interpretation here, though most believe he was calling Budden out for criticizing him. Either way, it doesn't look like the podcaster took the apparent jab too seriously, as evidenced by his reaction.

He began by performing his own rendition of the moment. "Korean n****s was like, 'the f*ck you talkin' bout?'" he added with a laugh. As his friends chimed in off-camera, Budden made it clear he was there "with peace and love" before mocking the shoutout once again. Clearly, he's not looking for any smoke from Ye, though the same can't be said for Yung Miami. Earlier this week, the former City Girl took to X to clown him after his 2003 single "Pump It Up" went gold. She reacted to the news with a simple series of laughing emojis, but her message was clear. Instead of dissing her back, he bowed out altogether, claiming "it would be too easy."

Travis Scott Says He May Have To Tour "DAYS BEFORE RODEO"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:24 GMT

Travis Scott didn't just officially release DAYS BEFORE RODEO onto streaming, he's doing the absolute most in the best way possible. La Flame has blessed us and the rest of his fans with a special digital deluxe with five fan-favorite bonus tracks. He's given physical music lovers the opportunity to have the 2014 mixtape on CD or vinyl. Additionally, the veteran hitmaker dropped some dope apparel and bundles to pair with tangible copies. Now, there is a chance that Travis takes DAYS BEFORE RODEO on a tour in the future. This was hinted at during a special one-night performance, according to Hypebeast. Scott and Spotify collaborated for the "Spotify x Cactus Jack Present Days Before Rodeo", and it was held at the Masquerade last night from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. ET. The venue can only hold 250-1,500 people, so this one-off show was for the true ragers. Spotify Fans First tickets were the first to go and did so completely in 15 minutes. Additionally, there was a general on-sale around 3 p.m. Videos, like the one below, are circulating on social media, and it seems like it was a lit night.

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 16:17 GMT

Coi Leray and Trippie Redd went their separate ways roughly five years ago, but it looks like their feelings for each other never really went away. Recently, they decided to give their romance another chance, this time with a bit more wisdom and life experience. In a sweet clip, the two of them are seen standing onstage at a concert when she pulls him in for a kiss. Hopefully, there will be a happier ending this time around for the fan-favorite couple, who've been rumored to have rekindled their relationship for months now. For those who don't recall, Coi and Trippie didn't exactly have a clean break back in 2019. He addressed their messy split on his track "Leray," which appears on his mixtape A Love Letter to You 4. "It was love at first sight and misery after two months/ Always feeling f**ked up either by love or no love," he confesses in the emotional song.

pic.twitter.com/Sox6j8RST9 — XXL Magazine (@XXL) August 23, 2024 Coi didn't take kindly to the song at first, telling No Jumper at the time that she feared he was using her name for clicks. On the other hand, she praised Trippie for his ability to express himself through music. "At first, no, I didn't like it. It was very like, what the f**k, because I always thought we really had something outside of the music," she explained. "Just like me, I'mma put my feelings in a song and my emotions in a song and he does it very well, and that's one thing I gotta give to him." Of course, both of them have come a long way since then, both personally and professionally. This likely means they're more ready than ever to stick together for the long run.

DJ Akademiks Eviscerates Yung Miami For Making Fun Of Joe Budden's Gold Plaque

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 15:58 GMT

DJ Akademiks had some strong words for Yung Miami following her viral clowning of Joe Budden's "Pump It Up" going Gold two decades after its release. Moreover, the streamer took issue with her laughter, saying that Budden has benefitted more from his career than she ever will from her own. Also, Ak posited that the former City Girl doesn't even write any of her own lyrics, and that she shouldn't be making fun of artists like this. In addition, he also said that she isn't getting support from her label and that people don't want to write for her anymore. Elsewhere, this is what DJ Akademiks said of Yung Miami's alleged involvement in her former boo Diddy's legal situation. "With all due respect, you are a pretty girl," he posited on his livestream. "But there's a lot of pretty girls. Beauty, especially seeing all these girls get lip fillers, they're wearing fake hair. That ain't their hair, right? They get some implants, they put their t***ies up to their neck.

"So what makes you special? Is it because you have some fame? No, Diddy's messed with way more famous women than you. He had J. Lo, for God's sakes. What makes you special? I'm going to tell you. If you disagree with me, it's because you don't know no n***as in the industry. Because I talk to these n***as. Like, what is it about this girl? "You know what they say?" DJ Akademiks finalized. "A chick like Yung Miami... She do everything. Put it like this: self-respect is the kryptonite of rich n***as. Women: self-respect is the kryptonite of rich n***as. They don't want to be around you when you're saying, 'Ah, I'm not doing that.' The women who are in the game, they know this, too. If you want to get in the game, first, you got to hit that plateau of how good you look. Once you're above the bar on how good you look, how far you go with these men in the industry will revolve around how little you say 'No.'" Read More: Breaking Down DJ Akademiks & Yung Miami's Social Media Beef The post DJ Akademiks Eviscerates Yung Miami For Making Fun Of Joe Budden's Gold Plaque appeared first on HotNewHipHop. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/836374-yung-miami-joe-budden-gold-plaque-dj-akademiks-reaction-hip-hop-news

DJ Akademiks Defends Nicki Minaj's Possible Explanation For Her Ice Spice Beef

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 15:54 GMT

Nicki Minaj recently sparked a whole lot of fan speculation with some recent moves that some Barbz interpreted as shade towards Ice Spice. For those unaware, the former unfollowed the latter on Instagram and then told fans to stop asking questions about "other people" amid this drama. As such, many put two and two together, but this equation doesn't really confirm whether or not there are real issues at play here. Nevertheless, DJ Akademiks recently responded to this during his livestream, defending the Trinidadian MC for her choices and for the way in which she's conducting business with these artists. Of course, Ak's main point of defense for Nicki Minaj's treatment of Ice Spice was to compare her to her Young Money partner and his fav, Drake. He said that Drizzy rubs a lot of artists the wrong way for taking control of publishing and masters, but the media personality justified this through the notion of the "Drake stimulus package." He's already defended this model to death before, so it's no surprise that he understands why Nicki is moving in the way she's moving. To be clear, this approach from a massive artist to a relatively smaller one isn't necessarily an automatic point of condemnation, as any sort of deal in the music industry can turn sour if executed irresponsibly.

He says drake does the same thing pic.twitter.com/VdxHPgZzqI — joebuddenclips (@Chatnigga101) August 23, 2024 Here's what Nicki Minaj had to say about rappers signing to white labels instead of her Heavy On It imprint, which many saw as an Ice Spice dig. "Motherf***er tell somebody they don't want to sign with Heavy On It," she expressed. "But then they'll go and sign with the white peoples. And guess who the white peoples finna call? Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty. They always get the attention of the Barbz. If your name is not on [the new version of] Pink Friday 2, they're not a Heavy On It artist." Meanwhile, this is what Ice Spice had to say about Nicki Minaj recently. "We don't have the closest relationship, you know? But we're definitely good," she posited. "We're mutuals. We had smash records together. I love us together. I think the world does too." Read More: Did Nicki Minaj Just Throw Shade At Ice Spice In Her Latest Instagram Post?

NBA YoungBoy's Baby Mama Reveals Pregnancy Test Results: Watch

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 15:41 GMT

Jania Meshell already has two children, one with her ex-boyfriend NBA YoungBoy, and another with her current fianc Dejounte Murray. Evidently, the personality intends to keep it that way, at least for the time being. Recently, however, she took to social media to reveal the results of a pregnancy test she took out of boredom. In a clip from her Instagram Live, she asked fans whether or not she looked pregnant as she anticipated the results. Eventually, she unveiled the test, along with the box to prove it was the real deal. Fortunately for Jania, it was negative, meaning that she was not expecting. Based on her reaction to the news, the test may not have been taken entirely out of boredom, as she seemed extremely relieved.

"Y'all I was scared," she admitted. "I thought I was out the game, but I'm not." To celebrate, Jania even decided to take a shot, and fans can't blame her. While the mother of one of NBA YoungBoy's children has plenty to be excited about these days, the same can't be said for the rapper. He's behind bars, where he could stay for up to ten years, depending on how his case plays out. Earlier this week, he was also hit with a new gun charge after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm just a few days prior. His change of plea hearing is currently scheduled for September 4. What do you think of Jania Meshell confirming that she's not pregnant on Instagram Live?

Offset Appears To React To Pooh Shiesty Making His Move On Cardi B

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 15:37 GMT

Yesterday, Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty was not going to let anything stop him from shooting his shot with Cardi B. Currently, the "Back in Blood" creator is behind bars, doing time for federal conspiracy charge from January 2022. He is now almost two years into the sentence, with just about three years and two months to go. At various points, the former 1017 signee has popped onto social media, and it almost always causes a stir amongst fans. However, Pooh Shiesty attempting to woo the ex-wife of Offset definitely takes the cake over everything else he's done online while behind bars. Cardi B went on Instagram Live the other day and the Southern hip-hop star was ready to risk it all. "I'm 5 mins away baby open the door". Obviously, she is going through quite a bit right now. Cardi is currently pregnant with her and Offset's third child, and they are also going through their second divorce. It's still pretty unclear as to what led to her coming to this decision. However, there are a couple of factors that fans are mulling over.

Now, according to HipHopDX, he appears to be reacting to Pooh Shiesty's advances. Overall, he didn't have much to say other than a few laughing emojis, "

". Fans have all sorts of reactions, with some claiming that Cardi is nowhere near being truly single. "She'll probably let him hit tho

", one user jokes. Others are hilariously warning Offset that his contemporary might actually weasel his way in. "Be careful offset, Pooh really Shiesty". Additionally, fans were dishing out some helpful dating/marriage advice. "Moral of the story... Treat yo person right cuz it's 10000000000000 other people waiting

". What are your thoughts on Offset appearing to react to Pooh Shiesty shooting his shot with Cardi B? Do you think she will entertain the currently incarcerated rapper?

ASAP Rocky Catches Heat For His Dismissive Drake Beef Comments

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 15:07 GMT

ASAP Rocky and Drake exchanged a lot of shots this year, and they will probably send more each other's way in the near future. This is especially true these days, as folks think that Drizzy dissed Rocky on the recent "It's Up" and considering that the New York rapper will drop an album very soon. In fact, he already allegedly dissed his Toronto enemy on the single "HIGHJACK." Regardless, what people are really talking about these days are comments from the A$AP Mob member about this feud, which basically dismissed this whole thing. This didn't sit well with some folks, especially the OVO camp. "You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years," A$AP Rocky remarked about the Drake beef. "I ain't in the middle of that s**t. That's not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain't about nothing." Some detractors thought that Rocky tried too hard to sidestep actually engaging with this feud, whereas others took shots at his supposedly false street ties.

LOL. — E.D.N. (@evildarkskinn) August 22, 2024 But the biggest likelihood is that A$AP Rocky simply chose to focus on his album Don't Be Dumb rather than the Drake beef. The 6ix God seems to be taking a similar approach these days, so we can probably expect some subliminal shots back and forth either way. After all, they love to shade subtly and not overtly, and they have plenty of reason to do so engagement-wise now that everyone is combing through tracks for potential disses. But DBD faced yet another delay, so we will have to wait a little more for this. Find critical reactions to this development down below. More Reactions Rakim talking sht again — ALMIGHTEE.

"Mo City Flexologist" Sees Travis Scott At His Most Quintessential

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:42 GMT

Getting DAYS BEFORE RODEO on streaming is already a win, but also receiving a deluxe version with extra tracks is even better. Travis Scott revealed that this was going to be a real possibility when he announced the rerelease on his social media. When he did, the Houston, Texas artist said that it would be a "couple". However, he went above and beyond, delivering five of them. Four of them are tracks that have been on the internet in some capacity. But Travis Scott was able to keep "Mo City Flexologist" under wraps, for the most part. According to Genius, it got two separate previews, once on May 27, 2014, and again on the 28. Additionally, online forums claim that the instrumental was sold to another rapper. Thankfully, we now know that Travis Scott had "Mo City Flexologist" in his clutches still. The track can only be heard if you buy the DIGITAL DELUXE on his website for $4.99. However, fans are making sure everyone has a chance to hear it, as platforms like YouTube already have the audio files. As for how the song sounds, it's quite incredible. Scott and Honorable C.N.O.T.E. cooked up an equally hype, dark, and woozy cut. It has a stadium-like feel to instrumental and Scott's short but effective auto-crooned chorus add an extra hypnotic element. Additionally, the flows he rocks on the verses display his natural knack for creating sticky patterns. It has all of the quintessential elements of what makes Travis Scott tick in all the best ways.

Diddy Assisted Elon Musk In Taking Over Twitter

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:37 GMT

Diddy is in the news for very different and more harrowing reasons these days, but fans may be surprised at his tech investments. Moreover, a new document went public on Wednesday (August 21) that detailed the nearly 100 investors that helped Elon Musk turn Twitter into X with his $44 billion purchase of the platform in 2022. The Bad Boy mogul represented himself through Sean Combs Capital LLC and joined others like Bill Ackman, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, and Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud. However, it's unclear how much he invested in the social media site. Also, the public doesn't know who currently holds shares in the company. As for Diddy and Elon Musk's relationship, they went to a Dave Chappelle show in 2022, so they have some amicable history together. Of course, they both have much bigger fish to fry these days, most notable the former's various sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking accusations. As for this situation, the most recent update we received concerned preparations from his legal team to combat these lawsuits. The Combs camp has vehemently denied any and all allegations that have not been proven true.

(Photo by Samir Hussein/Getty Images for Sean Diddy Combs) Diddy aside, Elon Musk is instead dealing with the harsh political climate of today's Twitter, and Plies has a theory as to what his solution may be. "I Can See Elon Shutting Down Twitter When Trump Continues To Fall Behind In The Polls," he tweeted. "He Brought Twitter To Influence The Election. An Before He Accepts A Trump Loss I Believe He'll Shut It All Down!!!!!" Many others share a similar sentiment (however unlikely), but we can't really say much about it until Election Day rolls around in the United States. Meanwhile, 50 Cent recently reacted to a bizarre Diddy story about a cartel member suing him for refusing to traffic minors. It's a strange claim, especially since many wondered whether or not this would constitute as self-snitching. Regardless, it's one of a lot of obstacles in his way, a process that has been wild to witness on Elon Musk's platform. We'll see what happens with these controversial tycoons and the platforms and legacies that they must contend with.

Lil Yachty Pops Off On Mitch's Ex-Girlfriend After She Threatened To Expose Him

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:18 GMT

Lil Yachty was the main character of social media on Thursday night and it was not for the best of reasons. Overall, it all had to do with a couple of ongoing situations. For instance, he was taking aim at Karrahboo, who recently left Concrete Boys. Yachty made the huge claim that he wrote all of her bars, and he even leaked some reference tracks. Meanwhile, Yachty was also dealing with his podcast co-host Mitch, whom he disrespected the other day while interviewing Key Glock. Yachty had said that Mitch would not be successful if it were not for him. Many felt that this was the ultimate form of disrespect and that Yachty should make a valiant effort to apologize. Instead, Yachty went on a huge rant online where he even canceled the show entirely. Subsequently, Mitch's ex-girlfriend hopped online and threatened to expose Yachty. From there, Yachty hit back and offered up some wild commentary in some now-deleted tweets.

pic.twitter.com/3NVlKQlLn0 — keep6ixsolid (@keep6ixsolid) August 23, 2024 In these audio messages, Yachty claims that Mitch used to have fake meetings with Yachty so that he could escape his ex. Furthermore, he laughed at the notion that there was something to actually expose here. It was all part of a pretty bad night for Yachty, who has been subjected to a whole lot of criticism as of late. Only time will tell whether or not he can get back in the good graces of those he offended. Meanwhile, fans will not forget the events of last night, anytime soon. It will be on the internet forever. Let us know how you feel about this situation, in the comments section down below. Do you feel as though Lil Yachty has been too harsh throughout all of this?

Kanye West Dedicates A Track To Drake At "VULTURES" Listening Event And Fans Are Very Confused

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:02 GMT

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's recent VULTURES listening party in Korea on Thursday night (August 22) was more bizarre than most, and that's saying something. Moreover, the reason why people raised their eyebrows at this particular event has to do with the former artist's mention of one of his former friends turned current rivals. "This one's for Drake, this one's for Ian Connor," Ye told the crowd when "I Wonder" started to play. Considering the track's lyrical content and the questionable backgrounds of these figures, some fans took this as a diss about them being unable to find their dreams or a legitimate shoutout. Either way, fans expressed confusion over this on social media, and aren't really stepping in to defend neither Drake nor Ian Connor. Well, for Drizzy, a lot of fans think that Kanye West is just using his name for clout or once again walking back his previously negative stance on him. This year, that stance manifested into a "Like That" remix amid the Toronto rapper's many beefs and plenty of disparaging comments down the line. Perhaps the sheer defeat he faced at the hands of Kendrick Lamar made Ye more sympathetic to his plight.

Ye spoke to Candace Owens in a resurfaced 2022 interview about the 6ix God. "Drake is the best rapper ever by the numbers. Jay-Z is the greatest rapper ever by the inspiration," he remarked. It's funny that all these three artists collaborated on a song five years after Aubrey pretty much provoked Ye and Hov's Watch The Throne album in a competitive fashion. Meanwhile, as part of his 100 GIGS footage release, Drake showed off the process behind creating the hook for Kanye West's "Yikes." As such, it's a bizarre time to view the relationship between these two titans of the music industry. Fans have as much access to their collaborative highs as they do to their pettily personal lows. We'll see whether Ye explains this dedication, and whether they will ever reconcile.

Mustard Completely Rules Out Working With Drake Following The Kendrick Lamar Beef

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 13:58 GMT

If you were hoping for a Drake and Mustard collaboration, we are sorry to break your heart. According to an interview with the Los Angeles Times (via AllHipHop), the California producer is totally ruling that possibility out. It makes sense, as he did concoct the already iconic instrumental for Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us". Additionally, his X rant about his low album sales for Faith Of A Mustard Seed was another indicator. He claimed that Drizzy helped Gordo drop his LP (which contained Drake collabs) the same day as his. "Drake is the Malcolm X of white people

", Mustard began. "And Akademiks make sure you post Gordo's first week since Drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me

". So, yeah, he's made his feelings pretty clear, but this feature with the outlet shows just how much hate he has inside of him for Drizzy. "I don't think I want to make a song with that dude. He's a strange guy".

When recalling the Pop Out show, he said it felt like everyone was getting rejuvenated. "I was right by the stage looking up at him as he was performing that night, and it was like everybody was getting healed". Mustard said it had nothing to do with Drake, but all of the previous quotes we listed sort of contradict this one. What are your thoughts on Mustard ruling out any possibility of working with Drake again? Do you think they will ultimately make up, why or why not?

Destroy Lonely is an artist who has been making strong waves on Playboi Carti's OPIUM label. Overall, he has dropped some massive projects, and his fans adore him. However, over the past year, he has been wrapped up in controversies that have certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of fans.

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 13:04 GMT

LET'S RAGE! Travis Scott fans can now finally listen to his 2014 mixtape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO. La Flame, at various points throughout the time in between now and the original release, had pondered doing this. However, at Fanatics Fest a few days ago, Scott went full send days after its 10-year anniversary. To pay homage to this point in his career, he even hosted a one-time show in Atlanta at The Masquerade with a strict 1,500 capacity to celebrate the rerelease. Fans who weren't aware or around for this era of his are certainly in for a treat this weekend. However, we would argue that longtime supporters are eating even more so thanks to the DAYS BEFORE RODEO - DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM. Yes, in addition to getting the original 12-track set, Scott promised to polish up a "COUPLE DBR SONGS FROM THAT ERA FROM THE VAULT." Well, he did that and then some, as there are actually five in total. They include "Mo City Flexologist", "Too Many Chances", "Yeah Yeah" (with Young Thug), "Serenade", and "Whole Lots Changed". As we said, die-hards are going to recognize these titles as they have been floating on Soundcloud, YouTube, and torrenting websites.

To hear these songs, you have to head to travisscott.com and buy the DIGITAL DELUXE for $4.99. It is still available as we speak, so click the link here. You may also be able to hear them on the deluxe vinyl if you were a buyer of that as well. Overall, this is one heck of a time to be a Travis Scott fan, new or old. What are your thoughts on Travis Scott including these specific tracks on the DAYS BEFORE RODEO - DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM? Are you going to purchase it now that you know it's only available on his website? Do you think La Flame should have included other past recordings, or are these valid enough?

TMZ Apologizes After Beyonce Debunks DNC Performance Reports

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 12:09 GMT

Yesterday, there were tons of Beyonce DNC rumors floating around. Overall, it all started when someone at the event noted that there was going to be a very special guest. This subsequently led to speculation that it would either be Taylor Swift or Beyonce. Later in the day, TMZ came out and claimed that it was Beyonce who was set to perform. In fact, she would be performing the song "Freedom" which has become a rallying cry for the Kamala Harris campaign. Unfortunately, for DNC-goers, the reports were simply untrue. Eventually, Beyonce's team came out and said that she would not be performing and never had plans to. This was a disappointing update and proved to be one of the rare times in which TMZ was completely wrong about something. They had no choice but to apologize, and on Twitter, they decided to do so by referencing Beyonce herself. "To quote the great Beyonce: We gotta lay our cards down, down, down ... we got this one wrong." they wrote.

In a divided America, lines have mostly already been drawn between those who are Democrats and Republicans. However, it would have certainly turned the DNC into more of a celebration. Overall, Harris had a huge week with numerous endorsements and a speech that will definitely inspire her constituents. Only time will tell whether or not this helps her win the election. Let us know how you feel about all of this, in the comments section down below. Did you expect Beyonce top be at the DNC? Were you disappointed that she didn't attend?

Lil Yachty Cancels His Podcast Despite Mitch Claiming That He And Yachty Are Cool

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 11:38 GMT

Lil Yachty had an interesting Thursday, and that is probably putting it very mildly. Overall, it all started thanks to the backlash he received for the comments he made on his A Safe Place podcast. During the podcast, featuring Key Glock, Yachty denigrated his podcast co-host Mitch. Essentially, Yachty said his friend wouldn't be successful without him. Fans absolutely hated these comments and called out the rapper for being out of line in this instance. This drama spilled over into the recent news that Karrahboo is no longer with Concrete Boys. After Karrahboo made an offhand remark about Yachty, the Lil Boat MC went off on Instagram Live. He exposed Karrahboo, claiming that he wrote every single one of her bars. Furthermore, Yachty noted that Karrahboo treated the people around her horrible, and that he had no choice but to kick her from the group. As for Mitch, Yachty claimed that he wasn't rocking with his friend and that the podcast was canceled.

On Twitter, he said that he and Yachty were cool. However, he did make it clear that he was successful before Yachty. Either way, the podcast appears to be in disarray right now. Yachty's rant was impulsive, and only time will tell whether or not he truly burned any bridges with it. Mitch Speaks Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section down below.

Benny The Butcher Drops Memorable Collabs On "Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 05:49 GMT

Benny the Butcher can spit. He sounds good on pretty much any kind of instrumental. The Griselda star just dropped an album called Summertime Butch. And yes, he managed to pull the ridiculous title off with an emphasis on gritty wordplay and hypnotic production. The trick with Griselda artists is figuring out how to keep their central appeal intact while broadening out. Benny the Butcher figured out a way to do just that on Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1. The answer? Bring in collaborators like Fabolous and Drake to spice things up. To the surprise of no one, the gambit worked. "Buffalo Freestyle," the long-anticipated collaboration between Benny the Butcher and Drake, lives up to the hype. Both rappers sound immaculate over the contemplative production. Somehow, the beat feels is right in the wheelhouse of both Benny and Drake, despite their otherwise disparate styles. It's the song that most fans are going to talk about, and rightfully so. The thing is, the other two songs on Buffalo Butch are also great. Fabolous absolutely skates over "Hard Way Freestyle." The veteran rapper gets in his Soul Tape bag, and it works perfectly when blended with Benny the Butcher's hard-nosed approach. "Penny and Shaq Freestyle" is the least memorable of the three, but Benny made the competition stiff. This is a great EP.

Destroy Lonely Takes Shots At Both Lucki And KanKan On Twitter

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 05:03 GMT

Destroy Lonely should be in album mode. He's got a new release set for August 30. Instead, the rapper is in battle mode. He took issue with multiple rappers on August 22, and decided to make his issues known by calling both Lucki and KanKan out on Twitter. To be fair to Destroy Lonely, the beef was instigated by his peers. Lucki came over the top rope with some bold accusations about Lonely, so it's difficult to find fault with a response. KanKan hitched his wagon to the Lucki train, and both men suffered as a result. Let's start with the Lucki accusations. The rapper went on Instagram Live and started popping off about Destroy Lonely's personal life. He started talking reckless about Lonely's girl, despite claiming that he did not want any trouble. "She just brought my name up," Lucki claimed. "I didn't even f*ck her. I didn't even bother the girl. Your new girlfriend, too? Ask her about Lucki." The rapper tried to diffuse his bold claims by asserting that he didn't want beef with other rappers over girls. That said, he threw shade at Destroy Lonely again by alluding to the rapper's record deal. Lucki said it was better to be a multi-millionaire than to be signed to a multi-millionaire, which many took as a reference to Lonely being signed to Playboi Carti.

He hopped on Twitter right after the IG Story made the rounds, and made he clear that he wasn't messing around. Boy u ain't never seen me in no dress," Lonely wrote. "And u damn sure ain't never scare me." The situation between Lucki and Destroy Lonely got even more serious when KanKan got in the mix. The rapper decided to post the Lucki Instagram Story. Lonely, unsurprisingly, didn't appreciate it. He quote tweeted KanKan and made it clear he's got a problem with him too. "Dont laugh n**ga u a h*e," he wrote back. KanKan eventually deleted his tweet. This is not the first time Lucki has seemingly dissed Destroy Lonely. Fans have long believed that the rapper dissed Lonely on his song "OUTRO" from his 2024 album Gemini. "I gave you the swag from your dad, you hope I don't notice, but it got a tag," Lucki raps. "He richer than me, a fact, I hit her first, so probably he mad. You makin' your city look bad, I hit a Rolls Royce hoe in a Track." Lonely's father is rapper I-20, which led fans to assume that Lucki was diminishing Lonely's achievements as an artist. There's definitely more drama to come.

Lil Yachty Leaks Reference Track For Karrahbooo's "On The Radar" Freestyle

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 04:34 GMT

Lil Yachty was not playing around on Thursday night. The rapper decided to stop playing nice with his former signee, Karrahbooo, and put her on blast. He not only hopped on Instagram Live to call her out for being "verbally abusive," but he pulled the rug out from her in terms of writing ability. Lil Yachty claimed that he wrote all of Karrahbooo's verses when she was with Concrete Boys. This includes verses on her albums and EPs, as well as freestyles. Fans were understandably shocked by this claim, but Yachty went and provided evidence. Lil Yachty leaked the reference track for Karrahbooo's "On the Radar" freestyle within hours of his rant. The freestyle is nearly identical, give or take a few pauses. It's a bit hard to make out everything that Lil Boat is saying, but the flow and the instrumental are identical. It's damning evidence, with regards to the notion that Lil Yachty has been propping Karrahbooo's career up. The reference track was just the tip of the iceberg, though. The rapper claimed that Karrahbooo was actually $900K in the hole with him, and needs to pay him back before he starts taking legal action.

"This the problem with you new artists," the rapper said during his IG rant. "Y'all get popping online, and then you become more popular than your actual music." Yachty went on to claim that Karrahbooo owed him, in both exposure and in dollars. "You $900K in the hole," he revealed. "And I got every f*cking receipt, and Ima post it, I dare you, try me." Lil Yachty also threatened to reveal how much Karrahbooo has made via streaming, which he implies is minuscule compared to what he's owed. "Nobody would even know who the f*ck Karrahbooo was if it wasn't for me," Lil Yachty asserted. "I've been nothing but loving and caring... I paid your bills and gave you money." The rapper completed his rant by getting aggressive and expressing confusion over Karrahbooo's arrogance. "What the f*ck are we even talking about, bro," he asked. Karrahbooo has yet to respond to Lil Yachty's rant, but the leak, coupled with the claims of owed money, do not look good for her. The situation continues to get more and more messy.

Jaylen Brown And ASAP Ferg Play It Cool On New Single "Just Do It"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 04:12 GMT

Jaylen Brown has had a great 2024. He won an NBA title with the Boston Celtics. He won the Finals MVP. He's also dating WNBA star Kysre Gondrezick. It's no wonder he felt emboldened enough to drop a song with ASAP Ferg. Brown dropped his debut single on Friday, "Just Do It," and it's, well, more or less what you'd expect. It's not a bad song, by any means, but it's definitely carried by the instrumental and the featured artist. Jaylen Brown spits, but it's more an instance of not messing things up, than doing tons right. "Just Do It" is proof that less is oftentimes more. Especially with little rapping experience. Jaylen Brown kicks the song off. He's got a lot of tough talk for his haters, which makes sense given the long road that the Celtics have had to a title. "My heart is out of space, I'm talking astronomy," he raps. "Weight up on our chest but you not as strong as me. If all we do is argue maybe you not the one for me." His flow is very monotone. Very monotone. As in, there's no variance from bar to bar. The bars are not bad, per say, but they do run together because of the same-ness of Jaylen Brown's flow. Fortunately, ASAP Ferg comes through and sprinkles some spice on "Just Do It." An enjoyable song, even if the lead artist is lacking. Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Travis Scott Finally Drops "Days Before Rodeo" On Streaming Platforms

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 03:58 GMT

Travis Scott has been a superstar for over a decade. Days Before Rodeo is a snapshot of the rapper before he became said superstar. It dropped in 2014, and provided the first real glimpse of the Scott's psychedelic trap sound. There were pieces of it on Kanye West's Yeezus, which Scott helped produce, but Days Before Rodeo was different. It married the experimentalism and grandiosity of Yeezus with the rapper/producer's own unique sound. It paved the way for Travis Scott's acclaimed debut, Rodeo. And it's finally on streaming. Huncho Jack fans have won. Days Before Rodeo, like Drake's So Far Gone or Chance the Rapper's Acid Rap, sounds fresh as the day it came out. It maintains the spark of an artist on the cusp of greatness. There's a hunger to the mixtape that Scott's later projects simply can't match. Anybody who listens to "Drugs You Should Try It" in 2014 knew that the Houston rapper was special. And they were right. Days Before Rodeo sounds incredible a decade removed, thanks to the trippy anthems like "Mamacita" and "Quintana Pt. 2." There's definitely a rudimentary quality, but it only adds to the tape's appeal. It's revelatory to hear mixed and CGQ mastered versions of "Backyard" and "Grey," especially with the knowledge of where Travis Scott would eventually take this sound. Sit back, listen, and enjoy. Then throw Rodeo on. Read More: Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Field Jaxx "Light Chocolate" In-Hand Photos Travis Scott Reminds Us How Far He's Come On Breakout Tape

Benny The Butcher And Drake Are Elite On New Song "Buffalo Freestyle"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 03:40 GMT

Drake has been an admirer of the Griselda wave for years. He have them a shout out during his 2019 interview with Rap Radar. He also linked up with acclaimed Griselda producer Conductor Williams for "8AM In Charlotte," one of his best songs in years. The fans were itching to see what a legitimate Drake and Griselda collaboration would sound like. "Buffalo Freestyle" delivered. The track has been floating around on social media for a couple days, but the streaming release of the song has made it official. It turns out, Drake and Benny the Butcher are an elite pairing. The production is as dusty and soulful as one would hope for a Benny the Butcher outing. There's a vocal sample, and a tempo that screams East Coast. Drake kicks things off with an elongated verse that reeks of the energy he brought to the Scary Hours 3 EP. He sounds hungry, and given the outcome of the Dot battle, he has reason to be. It's a good pocket for Drake to be in, and he proves that he can still go bar for bar with the best out there. The 6 God has spent the summer dabbling in dancehall and pop tracks, so it is a nice reminder. That being said, Benny the Butcher dominates the track. He's on his home turf, and he proves that few rappers can compare when it comes to hard-bitten bars. "Buffalo Freestyle" was a long time coming, and it's worth the wait. Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Lil Yachty Claims He Wrote All Of Karrahbooo's Music In Explosive Rant

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 00:57 GMT

Lil Yachty really let loose on August 22. The rapper caught wind of the rumors that Karrahbooo was talking bad about him and Concrete Boys. A fan who met with Karrahbooo went as far as to allege that Yachty bullied Karrahbooo into leaving. Yachty didn't appreciate the accusations, and hopped on IG Live to set the record straight. Well, a little more than that, actually. The rapper decided to put Karrahbooo on blast. He not only called out her alleged bad behavior, but took credit for all of her music in the process. "Bro, go ahead [and tell] people how you talk to people," Yachty said during his IG rant. He goes on to say that Karrahbooo is a liar who claims to be broke and homeless to elicit sympathy. He also claimed that Karrahbooo was verbally abusive to those in the Concrete Boys camp. "You talk to people like they were nothing," Yachty asserted. "Like they're small, like they're beneath you." The rapper didn't stop at broad accusations, either. He proceeded to provide specific examples of Karrahbooo's allegedly mean behavior. "How you told me you 'gon spit on me when you see me," he said. "Your brain is clinically imbalanced..."

"Tell people how you verbally abuse people..." "I've given you a career and time and time you just disrespect me, I wrote every f*cking verse you've done, I dressed you" pic.twitter.com/EhWFk9CIGE — Kurrco (@Kurrco) August 23, 2024 Lil Yachty has a reputation for being cordial and friendly. It's rare to see the rapper clash with people in a public space, Bobbi Althoff interview notwithstanding. This reputation is what makes Yachty's assertions so surprising. The gloves really came off when the rapper claimed to have written all of Karrahboo's rap verses when she was with Concrete Boys. He also claimed to have styled her look and instructed her on how to behave to become popular. "I've given you a career and time and time you just disrespect me," he explained. "I wrote every f*cking verse you've done, I dressed you." Furthermore, Lil Yachty told viewers that Concrete Boys have withheld her behavior from the public in an attempt to give her the benefit of the doubt. "Internally, we have withheld your actions," he added. "Since the beginning of me giving you this career... I been letting you do this whole thing where you act like you a princess." Lil Yachty really doubled down on that last point. He pointed out that Karrahbooo worked as a server before he gave her a co-sign. "I changed your motherf*cking life," he concluded. "You out here lying." The frustration in Yachty's voice really comes through toward the end of the rant. Things officially got ugly.

Iggy Azalea Seemingly Mocks Playboi Carti's Baby Voice In New Ad

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 00:10 GMT

Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti do not get along. The former couple had an acrimonious split despite sharing a child. Azalea, in particular, has been open about criticizing Carti for his lack of involvement in their son's life. It's this behind-the-scenes context that makes Azalea's latest ad so intriguing. She gets a phone call in her latest ad for Unreal Mobile, and the person on the other line seems like a thinly veiled dig at Playboi Carti. The two have a lengthy conversation, in which Iggy Azalea manages to talk her odd client into switching over to her partnership brand. There are quite a few parallels between the "client" and Playboi Carti. For one, the client is dressed very much in the rapper's gothic style. The client also brags about drinking blood for thousands of years, a nod to vampirism which is once again Carti's wheelhouse. The rapper literally has a song called "VAMP ANTHEM" on his 2020 album Whole Lotta Red. Iggy Azalea and the Unreal Mobile team didn't stop at the look, though. At one point during the video, the client breaks out into an incoherent baby voice. A voice that's pretty directly poking fun at Playboi Carti's "baby voice" flow.

She's using her platform and her deal with Unreal Mobile to poke fun at the father of her child. It's not a particularly funny ad, but it definitely gets in some digs on Playboi Carti's eccentric persona. Those who question whether Azalea would go as far as to diss Carti in an ad needn't look further back than July. The "Fancy" rapper went on the Dinner's on Me podcast and made it very clear that she doesn't consider Carti a dad to their son. "I'm very much a single mother," she told the hosts. "I'm very much the only parent. No disrespect, but yes, I am not co-parenting really, and that's just the reality of it. It's one, it's 24/7." Iggy Azalea disses Playboi Carti every chance she gets. When a fan posted a compilation of Carti with his son, the Australian rapper threw another dig his way. "Its cool how you can fit damn near every visit into just one video," she wrote on Twitter in December. "Talented!" Playboi Carti is famous for not giving interviews or discussing his personal life. He's never dissed Iggy Azalea publicly. That said, it's easy to see why Azalea is ticked off.

Beyonce Will Reportedly Perform At DNC In Chicago

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 00:06 GMT

The fourth and final night of the Democratic National Convention is officially underway, but social media users have more on their minds than just politics. For weeks now, they've been speculating that a massive special guest, like Beyonce or Taylor Swift, would take over Chicago's United Center before the DNC ended. Now, according to TMZ, fans appear to have their answer. The outlet reports that Beyonce will be performing tonight, which will be huge not only for the Democratic party but also for the city. They add that Chicago PD is on high alert, particularly as clips of alleged Beyonce sightings surface online. For now, it remains unclear exactly what the hitmaker plans to perform as Vice President Kamala Harris accepts her nomination.

Interestingly enough, just today, Rolling Stone reported that Beyonce threatened to hit Donald Trump with a cease and desist over the track, which he used in a social media video. Reportedly, there are plenty of fans in the crowd already dressed up in Cowboy Carter-inspired outfits, who are surely feeling incredibly lucky right now. Of course, social media users are also sounding off as they react to the reports, and most agree that there couldn't be a better special guest tonight than Beyonce. The exciting news arrives after performances by John Legend, who delivered a lively Prince tribute alongside Sheila E., Lil Jon, Patti LaBelle, Mickey Guyton, and more.

Lil Wayne Calls Cap On Former Bodyguard's Assault Allegations

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 23:37 GMT

In December of last year, Lil Wayne was hit with a lawsuit by his former bodyguard, Carlos Christian. Christian accuses Weezy of threatening him with a gun during a dispute at the rapper's California home and punching him in the head. Reportedly, sources close to Lil Wayne told authorities that the incident never happened when they arrived on the scene. Apparently, they also said he didn't even own a gun. It remains unclear what the alleged dispute was about, but Christian alleges that the artist "acted with malice" and "a willful and conscious disregard" for his safety. "It reasonably appeared to plaintiff that [Lil Wayne] was about to carry out the threat," Christian's legal team wrote. "Plaintiff suffered severe emotional distress, requiring him to seek mental health treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stemming directly from this incident."

(Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images) At the time, it was also reported that Christian claimed to have incurred medical expenses, lost wages, and suffered emotional distress. He was seeking compensatory and punitive damages over the alleged incident. Now, according to legal documents obtained by In Touch Weekly, the performer has asked an LA county court to dismiss the lawsuit. He insists he only acted in self-defense during the debacle. His attorney claims Christian didn't actually suffer any injuries as a result of their spat either. He also adds that Christian "failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence to mitigate his alleged damages." The judge hasn't ruled on Lil Wayne's motion yet, so it remains to be seen what'll end up playing out. What do you think of Lil Wayne trying to get the lawsuit filed against him by his ex-bodyguard dismissed?

Michael Jackson Estate Secures $600 Million Sale Despite Mother's Objections

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 22:54 GMT

A blockbuster deal has been struck between Sony and Michael Jackson's estate. The former has paid a whopping $600 million for the King of Pop's back catalog. It was a lengthy process to secure the deal, but it was finalized on August 22 by Jackson's estate executors John Branca and John McClain. It was previously reported by Billboard that Sony wanted to purchase half of Michael Jackson's catalog. Now, however, it seems as though the final sale include all of the recordings Jackson made during his life. It benefits lots of people who were close to Jackson, but his mother, Katherine, is not pleased. The matriarch of the Jackson family claimed that the Sony deal "violated Michael's wishes." Katherine Jackson actually tried to stop the deal, but her legal attempts were rejected by the court. The ruling was that she "forfeited" her case when she failed to present it to a lower probate court. Branca and McCain were ultimately able to make the deal because it did not directly go against the conditions of Michael Jackson's will. "The will gave the executors broad powers of sale," the court wrote. "With no exception for the specific assets at issue in this case." Read More: Janelle Monae Takes Down Michael Jackson Parody Video After Fan Backlash Katherine Claims Michael Jackson's Wishes Were 'Violated' View this post on Instagram A post shared by 2Cool2Blog (@2cool2bl0g) Furthermore, the court declared that Jackson's estate was well within its rights to make a deal they felt was advantageous. "[A judge] did not err in concluding that it was Michael's intent to allow the executors to sell any estate assets," the court announced. "Including those at issue in the proposed transaction." Katherine was the last Jackson standing in opposition to the Sony deal. When it was initially suggested, Michael Jackson's son Blanket and daughter Paris also balked at the idea. The more money went into a legal battle, however, the more open they were to negotiating. In March 2024, Blanket issued a statement asking his grandmother to stop using Michael Jackson's estate to pay for legal fees. Blanket, who also goes by the name "Bigi," declared Katherine's efforts to be pointless. "Bigi decided not to waste his resources to participate in an appeal," a court document stated. "Nonetheless, Katherine has decided to appeal this court's ruling. That decision is not for the benefit of the heirs." Debate will continue to rage on as to whether Michael Jackson would have inked the deal with Sony himself. As it stands, though, the company now owns $600 million worth of his music.

Chrisean Rock's Legal Drama: How An Assault & Drug Charge Landed Her In Jail

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 22:12 GMT

Although she wants to be respected as an artist, Chrisean Rock may be more well-known for her relationship with Blueface and court cases. She emerged on Blueface's reality show, which pitted young women against one another in the boxing ring. Chrisean's tenacity and disturbing dedication to Blueface set her apart, and soon, she was known across social media platforms after losing a tooth during a match. Rock's hot-headed attitude, willingness to fight anyone who stood in her way, and adoration for Blueface captivated audiences and online commentators. Soon, Blueface put her in the studio, and she had a viral hit on her hands with "Vibe." The track helped establish Chrisean as an artist as she performed at small events nationwide. However, her introductory moments in the spotlight were shadowed by ongoing controversies, including public displays of domestic abuse, arrests, fights with relatives, explosive social media moments, allegations of partying during her pregnancy, and now, a jail sentence and extradition. In her college years, Chrisean Rock was a young lady full of promise who some believed would pursue a sports career. Obviously, her life's path headed in another direction once connecting with Blueface, and she's facing several legal issues that could set her back even further. Chrisean's Courthouse Arrest Watch Video on YouTube As Blueface faced a court case of his own that resulted in a four-year sentence, Chrisean wanted to support the father of her 11-month-old son. In June 2024, Blueface was in court for his probation violation charges related to a Las Vegas shooting, and Chrisean was at the San Fernando Valley courthouse to be by his side. However, she found herself in cuffs after authorities arrested her concerning a fugitive warrant related to a case out of Oklahoma and an assault case involving Tamar Braxton's associate, James Wright. Meanwhile, Blueface's mother, Karlissa Saffold, called Rock's arrest a "low blow" and "bad timing." She also publicly reached out to Kim Kardashian on social media, hoping that the mogul would use her legal connections to help with the case. "That wasn't the time," Saffold told TMZ of Rock's arrest. "She had her kid and she was there supporting my son, so I don't agree with it." The Assault Case Watch Video on YouTube About the assault charge, an altercation occurred in November 2023 when Wright and Rock engaged in a scuffle following a performance in Los Angeles at the Novo. Wright later sued Rock, accusing her of repeatedly striking him so hard that her rings, compared to brass knuckles, broke two teeth and cut his face. According to Vibe, Le Troy Davis from Braxton's entourage said the rapper showed up to the Novo "drunk, with 1,000 people, smelling like weed." Rock gave birth to her son, Chrisean Malone Jr., in September 2023, months before the incident. Braxton was performing at the Novo, where Rock made an appearance. According to reports, the Baddies star became upset after she wasn't allowed to take to the stage to perform one of her songs. Things became heated backstage, where Rock and Wright engaged in a war of words. However, things became physical, and Wright was left with injuries. He would expound on the night in a video. "Everybody wanna tell stories and tell they versions... I was an innocent bystander," Wright shared, per Vibe. "You know, you still gotta keep joy and stuff... I don't know what be wrong with people." He added, "Y'all should see my f*cking face." Read More: Chrisean Rock Reportedly Faces Eight Years In Prison For Drug Charges Further, Tamar Braxton also commented on the altercation. She said she looked at Rock like a younger sister who she wanted to help, particularly because they were both from Maryland. Braxton also confirmed that Rock assaulted Wright after the rapper was upset she was invited to the stage to dance but not to perform. Initially, Rock blamed "false narratives" for the controversy, but a judge thought otherwise. She entered a plea of no contest and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and one year of probation. The reality star also must stay 100 yards from the Novo and Wright. Because she and Blueface were in jail at the same time, their son was put in the care of friends and relatives. Upon her release, she was extradited to Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Case Watch Video on YouTube In Fall of 2020, Blueface and Chrisean Rock were back in the headlines following a strange report about her driving cross country. According to the California rapper and his team, Rock allegedly broke into Blueface's home, stole his car, and attempted to drive back to her hometown of Baltimore. Yet, she was stopped by police in Oklahoma, where she was said to have been found with drugs in the vehicle. Blue's manager, Wack 100, issued a scathing reaction to the news and offered insight into the shocking incident. "This Bozo deserves all that she has coming to her !" Wack wrote on social media. "Broke in the house again stole thousands stole the G Waggon as we found out not knowing it was her 1700 miles away got caught. I have no remorse for this BOZO. Now I gotta go get the car out the impound and pay another 5,000 for a transport service to bring it back ! If it was you how would you see it !!! And it looks like she was moving work from the charges ! Smh." Read More: Chrisean Rock's Arrest Has Wack 100 Fed Up: "Nothing Blueface Can Do" Then, in 2023, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections shared a wanted flyer of Rock. It showed she was charged with possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, as well as a failure to display the tax stamp for said drugs. "The charges are for Fugitive from Justice warrant out of Oklahoma," a police representative stated in an email to Complex. "If they will be extradited it would all depend on the agency who they have a warrant from. I cannot confirm if and when they will be extradited." Rock was officially transferred to Oklahoma earlier this month to face a new fight that could land her years behind bars. Back in March 2024, Rock made it clear that she was aware of her warrant, but she didn't want to turn herself in. With a baby in tow, the first-time mother had concerns about what would happen to her little boy if she was detained. Wack 100 speculated that Rock would eventually be given a lengthy sentence, but he doesn't expect her to "do some years." Wack added, "Either way, we'll see her before Christmas. We'll see her before the summer's up. She'll be alright ... She's in the same situation Blueface is in." A Life Full Of Promise As A Track Star Watch Video on YouTube Before her explosive entrance into the entertainment industry, Chrisean was a star on the field. She attended Southern California's Santa Monica College, where she was hailed as one of the top track stars on the team. These skills even landed her segments on television shows and news programs, highlighting her accomplishments and potential. Her story resonated with many because of her rough upbringing in Baltimore, where she was one of 12 siblings trying to make their way with a father in prison and a mother who struggled with drug addiction. According to FOX 45 Baltimore, Chrisean became homeless at just nine years old and found shelter with friends and family. She would rotate through these homes every few days, emphasizing the instability of her childhood. However, she found solace in track, connecting with her friends and coaches who acted as her community. "As a young, Black, beautiful woman, I am a survivor," Chrisean said in 2020. "Since I didn't have the childhood I should've had, then I can have the future that I deserve."

Karrahbooo Fan Claims That Lil Yachty Bullied Her Out Of Concrete Boys

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 22:06 GMT

Karrahbooo shocked fans when she decided to leave Concrete Boys in July. The rapper was dubbed the first lady of Lil Yachty's rap collective. There was widespread speculation as to what caused the split, but both Karrahbooo and Yachty kept quiet. Maybe the split was as amicable as they both said it was. A post by one of Karrahbooo's fans, however, suggested otherwise. The fan, who goes by Twitter name Moon, claimed that she spoke with the rapper and learned there was much more to the split than we thought. The fan posted a photo alongside Karrahbooo, and claimed the rapper came in to the restaurant where she worked. Things got juicy, though, when the fan claimed that Karrahbooo opened up about the true reason why she left Concrete Boys. "I asked her why she left," the fan noted. "She immediately corrected me and said I didn't leave they kicked me out." Karrahbooo reportedly went on to lay the blame at the feet of Lil Yachty, who founded the group. "[She said] they were really mean to her and bullying her a lot. She doesn't talk about it." Read More: Lil Yachty Re-Follows Drake On Instagram Following Intense Fan Speculation Karrahbooo Was Allegedly Kicked Out Of The Group A fan who met KARRAHBOOO claims she said she was "kicked out" of Concrete Boys and bullied within the group pic.twitter.com/NDmuYN467Q — Kurrco (@Kurrco) August 22, 2024 The fan then did some reading between the lines, and inferred that there was some possible jealously on the part of Lil Yachty. "I believe it's because her name was the biggest behind Yachty," she wrote. "If we being real I only started listening to him again because of her... I told her she'll do just fine without them, f*ck 'em." This fan account is far cry from the diplomatic, albeit vague, statement that Lil Yachty made when Karrahbooo left Concrete Boys. "I'mma say this sh*t one time," he said on Istagram Live. "We have split ways with Karrah as far as this Concrete sh*t. I have nothing bad to say, nothing negative to say about Karrah. I wish her the best in her career." Karrahbooo has yet to comment on her feelings toward Lil Yachty and the rest of the Concrete Boys. That being said, she previously bumped heads with Yachty during an episode of the Safe Space podcast. Karrahbooo tried to defend her use of the N-word and Yachty proceeded to shut her down in front of the host. "That won't happen," he announced. "You shouldn't say it." It sounds like there's more of the story to come.

Who Is YSL Woody? The Defiant Star Witness In Young Thug's Trial

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 21:16 GMT

In the high-stakes trial of rapper Young Thug, one name has repeatedly surfaced as a central figure in the courtroom drama: Kenneth Copeland, better known as YSL Woody. Copeland has become the focal point of a case that has captivated the state of Georgia and hip-hop at large. His testimony has been both erratic and unpredictable, creating further complications in an already convoluted trial. As a former associate of Young Thug, Woody's cooperation-or lack thereof-could prove pivotal in the prosecution's attempt to link the rapper to criminal activities. Read More: Lil Woody's Neighbor Appears To Leak His Location Amid YSL RICO Trial Testimony A Troubled Past YSL Woody, born Kenneth Copeland, has a checkered history that extends far beyond his involvement with Young Thug. His criminal record includes a 2018 conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm, stemming from an incident where he left an assault rifle on the bleachers of a recreational center in Atlanta. Despite the presence of children and other community members, Woody reportedly seemed unfazed, leaving the weapon unattended while he played basketball. This reckless behavior led to his arrest and subsequent federal prison sentence. In 2021, Woody found himself in legal trouble again when a traffic stop revealed he was carrying a weapon, a serious offense for a convicted felon. Facing a potential decade-long sentence, Woody chose a different path: he became an informant. During a three-hour interrogation, he provided detectives with critical information on several crimes, both past and future, and even expressed willingness to help secure a confession from Young Thug, a detail that later leaked to social media. The Role Of The Star Witness View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kenneth Copeland (@woodyvswoody) Woody's involvement in the Young Thug trial is far from straightforward. As the prosecution's star witness, his testimony has been marked by erratic behavior. Earlier this year, on the stand, Woody has alternated between cooperation and defiance, often appearing disinterested or confused. His antics have included yawning, spinning in his chair, and frequently questioning the prosecutors with "whatchu mean?" This unpredictable behavior has led to repeated admonishments from Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville (who has since stepped down from the case), who had to remind Woody to stand when jurors enter and leave the courtroom. Woody's actions have not only frustrated the prosecution but have also led to tension with his legal representation. He abruptly fired his stand-in attorney during the trial, declaring, "She fired. I don't want her." Read More: YSL Woody Mocks Judge When Asked If He Will Testify Against Young Thug Legal Complications & Immunity Yoooo this young thug YSL trial is hilarious !!! Woody got me crying!! Listen to this

pic.twitter.com/7xZDd6eA4U — Shannonnn sharpes Burner (PARODY Account) (@shannonsharpeee) June 13, 2024 Despite his erratic testimony, Woody's legal team has managed to secure case immunity for him, meaning his statements in court cannot be used against him concerning his previous 11 convictions. However, this immunity has not quelled Woody's reluctance to testify. His attorney indicated that Woody intended to invoke his Fifth Amendment right, a decision that could lead to contempt of court charges if he refuses to testify despite the immunity granted. The situation took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that Woody's legal team might have disclosed an ex parte conversation-a private discussion between the judge and the prosecution-to Young Thug's attorney. This revelation led to Judge Glanville ordering a hearing to determine whether Woody and his attorney should be held in contempt of court. Recent Testimony View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks) The YSL RICO trial has unfolded with a series of developments that have added layers of complexity to the case. Among the most surprising was YSL Woody's confession that he had fabricated allegations against Young Thug. During his testimony on August 12, Woody recounted how he deliberately accused the rapper of crimes to divert law enforcement's attention away from himself. "The police were constantly targeting me," Woody stated. "So, to shift their focus, I started claiming, 'Thug did this, Thug did that,' despite knowing these were false accusations." Woody's admission introduces a significant wrinkle in the prosecution's case. Allegations Born From Pressure Woody's testimony also revealed that the persistent focus of law enforcement on Young Thug compelled him to continue his deceit. He described how investigators repeatedly mentioned Young Thug, leading him to falsely affirm their assumptions. "They were fixated on Thug, so I told them what they seemed to expect," Woody confessed. "I said, 'Yes, he committed this crime, he did that,' because I believed they would never actually pursue him." Furthermore, Woody claimed that the prosecution pressured him to testify in court, despite being aware of the inaccuracies in his prior statements. This assertion raises critical concerns about the prosecutorial conduct and the integrity of the evidence being presented against Young Thug. The Aftermath Though Young Thug and his co-defendants continue to fight their charges, Woody has seemingly leveraged his newfound viral fame into a career of sorts. He's appeared on a number of media platforms, including the 20 V. 1 speed dating series. Most recently, he dropped a song titled "I Don't Recall" following his viral court appearance.

Juvenile & Turk Put Airline On Blast After Heated Confrontation

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 21:02 GMT

Earlier this week, Juvenile was on a flight to Dallas when the rapper and his wife got into an argument with airplane staff. Reportedly, passengers were forced to switch aircraft, and Juvenile was informed that he had been downgraded from first class to coach. He filmed the confrontation, showing his wife questioning why he in particular was being asked to move while she was allowed to stay. "Man, they trying to kick me off the plane, y'all," he says in the clip. "They trying to kick me off from America first. They tried to take me out of the first class." The argument continued, and Juvenile eventually decided to warn the staff of his influence. Read More: Juvenile Claims That Lil Wayne Is The Greatest Rapper Of All Time Airline Attempts To Kick Juvenile Out Of First Class View this post on Instagram A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom) "I'm a celebrity," he explained. "I'm telling you this is going to be repercussions. It's going be repercussions to this because I'm going to get off the plane, I'm going to get off the plane. I'm not going to let y'all disrespect me like that. I'm not going to let y'all choose me out. All the people on the plane and disrespect me. So I'm going to get off the plane." Eventually, Juvenile left, but not without hitting the employees with a few choice words. After the debacle, Hot Boy Turk decided to jump in, sharing the clip of the confrontation on Instagram. "@americanair we have a problem That ya'll have to fix with my brother @juviethegreat He got a Show tonight in #backdatazzup25 #Dallas #BTAU25 #IFlyDelta #GetSomeTVs," he captioned the post.

Tamar Braxton Gifts Jeremy Robinson A Birthday Chain After Claiming She's Single

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 20:49 GMT

Tamar Braxton is sending some mixed signals regarding her relationship status, but at least her on-and-off-again boo Jeremy Robinson has some new bling to rock. Moreover, she recently gifted him a gold diamond-encrusted pendant chain for his birthday amid claims that they married. However, fans didn't really know how to interpret this development since the singer had declared herself single during a recent Twitter rant. This set of messages also pointed to a lot of turmoil in her personal life, and regardless of what's going on behind the scenes in regards to her endeavors, hopefully some more clarification down the line points to better days ahead. "JR means the world to me..." Tamar Braxton had tweeted. "Thank God for him... my husband and my children has saved my life!!!! But, I'm so mad at my life... my family is TOXIC!!! I should have NEVER went back to BFV!! NEVER!!!" "Y'all I'm going through it," she said in a follow-up tweet. "I'm single and sad and this TV s*** is a lot. Y'all have NO idea!!! NONE!!! The gas lighting is CRAZY!!! And I'm going back into treatment!!!! Omg I just pray that my marriage can be saved and my life can be spared. My family is AWFUL!!!" Read More: Jeremy Robinson Claps Back At Recent Tamar Braxton Interview In Lengthy Instagram Rant Tamar Braxton's Gift To Jeremy Robinson View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) However, Tamar Braxton and Jeremy Robinson aren't the only ones sending mixed signals and contributing to their relationship drama. For example, conservative political figure Angela Stanton-King recently trolled Braxton with a picture of Robinson and claimed to tell him that he doesn't need her, and that he agreed. However, Stanton-King then backtracked her statement, making her preference for "dark chocolate" clear. Just goes to show that outside forces can be as impactful in a bizarre relationships as its duo. Meanwhile, in other Jeremy Robinson news, authorities recently hit him with a DUI arrest. If he really is still with Tamar Braxton, then we're sure that she's supporting him amid this development, which occurred last July. But fans still have a lot of unanswered questions about their bond and how they would characterize their relationship. We'll see if we get any answers to these inquiries in the near future.

Erica Banks Details "Excruciating" Recovery From Second BBL

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 20:28 GMT

Erica Banks has been making plenty of headlines in recent months, due in part to her cosmetic procedures. The rapper underwent her second BBL late last year, which sparked a major debate among social media users. She began receiving hate from those claiming she took her enhancements too far, though she appears to be unfazed by the criticism. While Banks isn't paying haters any mind, she did decide to open up about some of the downsides of the procedure during a recent interview. She told B High ATL that the recovery came with a lot of pain, which took several months to go away. Banks recalled preparing for surgery by watching videos of others getting it done, which scared her.

"The healing process and going through it, like, the first day until you're healed is hell," she explained. "Probably the worst pain I've ever experienced in my whole life... The first day, I passed out." Banks went on, recalling the months after her surgery. "The pain is just excruciating, you know, cuz the inside of your body is like brutalized," she said. "It took a while. I probably didn't stop hurting all the way until like April, and I got my surgery in December. I just stopped hurting in April." Banks continued, noting that while her backside does feel heavy at times, she's not yet struggling with any back pain. What do you think of Erica Banks opening up about her painful recovery from her second BBL? Are you surprised that the procedure took such a major toll on her body?

Lil Yachty Catches Flack For Disrespecting His Friend Mitch During Key Glock Podcast

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 20:18 GMT

Lil Yachty is in some hot water these days, spurred by his regional fashion comments and some other big headlines as of late. But this new instance of backlash rings a bit differently, as it has to do with his personal treatment of his podcast cohost, Mitch. They had a bit of a mini argument during their Key Glock episode, who didn't really speak on much about this debacle. The awkward moment centered around the Atlanta creative taking responsibility for turning Mitch's life around, as he questioned what his friend would even be doing today if it wasn't for him. Mitch conceded that he didn't want a job back then, but also spoke on his personal growth and how he's learned a lot about himself. Furthermore, it seems like they were both making essentially the same point. The difference is that Lil Yachty emphasized his role in Mitch's growth and seemed to dismiss the notion that he could've made a life for himself without him. As such, many fans in the replies of the post below called him out for disrespecting his friend in this way, especially in front of a guest and on a public platform. But the "Sorry Not Sorry" artist has an even bigger relationship in the balance right now... At least, according to some gossip train-riding fans.

(@TLOZAY88) August 22, 2024 You may have already heard that the OVO fanbase turned on Lil Yachty when he seemingly unfollowed his friend and frequent collaborator Drake on Instagram. While he seemed to quickly re-follow him within minutes, many still thought that this indicated a rift in their bond. For some fans, the main theory revolves around how Drizzy took Yachty off of their leaked collab "Supersoak," and the latter was the one who sent the unreleased cut to Kai Cenat in the first place. Nevertheless, it seems like this is all too murky and speculative for us to conclude that Drake and Lil Yachty are at odds. As such, we can assume that they're still cool. Most likely, so are Yachty and Mitch, for that matter. But still, fans think that he made a mistake by airing out this dirty laundry on their friendship in this way. We'll see whether the "Die For Me" creative addresses any of this in the near future.

Bianca Censori Isn't Worried About Her Cleavage During KFC Stop With Kanye West

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 19:17 GMT

As somewhat cringe-inducing lyrics on songs like "Lord I Need You" off 2021's Donda prove, Kanye West likes some Kentucky Fried Chicken every once in a while. Sadly, his other chicken references (about breasts and thighs...) on other projects, namely VULTURES 2, are even more uncomfortable. Do we even need to talk about "Closed On Sunday"? Nevertheless, speaking of finger-licking good breasts and thighs, Ye recently hit up a KFC with his wife Bianca Censori, who clearly understood that this would be a funny double entendre. She wore a skimpy top for the occasion (as usual), showing off a lot of cleavage. Fans learned of this stop thanks to some CCTV footage you can find by clicking the "Via" link down below if you're curious. Furthermore, believe it or not, this isn't the most bizarre or random public interaction that Kanye West and Bianca Censori have experienced in recent days. Well, considering all their antics, maybe that's not saying much. Regardless, they recently ran into a group of supporters at what seemed like a Beverly Hills pro-Trump event, and they were very happy to see them pull up on the side of the street. Ye and Trump still seem quite chummy, so this is no surprise.

(Photo by Lyvans Boolaky/Getty Images) As for other Kanye West news... As you can imagine, it's a bit of a doozy. Far-right pundit Nick Fuentes recently claimed that he wanted to change his name to a swastika, which is a pretty self-explanatory red flag. But considering previous antisemitic rants, name changes, and other reclamations of identity, we guess we can't express too much shock at this claim. After all, it's just an unfounded claim from a distant colleague, so there might not be any truth to this. Meanwhile, another unconfirmed story around this couple is that Kanye West is allegedly obsessed with getting Bianca Censori pregnant. "[Kanye's] been trying to have it done the natural way, but the word is he's been a little unsuccessful," an alleged source reportedly told In Touch. "So apparently now he's planning the insemination or IVF route. One of the main reasons he picked and groomed Bianca is because [he thinks] that her DNA will be a perfect blend with his to make the most genetically blessed offspring. He's always obsessed [over] achieving the perfect human specimen. So he's very excited to have Bianca consulting with doctors to figure out the best option."

Pooh Shiesty Shamelessly Flirts With Cardi B Amid Offset Divorce

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 19:14 GMT

Late last month, Cardi B filed for divorce from her partner Offset after roughly seven years together. The hitmaker has yet to reveal what prompted this decision, though it appears as though the breakup was amicable. Shortly after that news was revealed, Cardi took to Instagram to announce that she was expecting her third child. Nowadays, it seems like Cardi is hard at work getting ready for her child's arrival, preparing her older kids for school, and more. She's also finishing up her eagerly anticipated sophomore album. It's unclear whether or not she's looking to date right now, though she certainly has some potential suitors waiting for the right opportunity. During her recent Instagram Live, for example, Pooh Shiesty seemingly tried to shoot his shot.

(@SaycheeseDGTL) August 22, 2024 "I'm 5 mins away baby open the door," he wrote publicly. Of course, Pooh Shiesty is currently behind bars, so someone might be relaying this message for him. With that being said, Cardi would have some waiting to do if she took him up on his offer. Regardless, the flirty message has sparked plenty of jokes in Say Cheese's X replies, as fans speculate whether or not Cardi is interested. It's possible that she'd prefer to just focus on herself and her family for the time being, particularly as her album draws closer. The project does not yet have an official release date, but earlier this month, she revealed that she already has some potential album covers to pick from. Fans took this as a hint that it's coming sooner rather than later, which remains to be seen. What do you think of Pooh Shiesty seemingly trying to shoot his shot with Cardi B? Do you think they'd make a good couple or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

ASAP Rocky Clears The Air Around Album Delay

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 18:41 GMT

ASAP Rocky sent fans into a frenzy this week when news broke that he had to delay his upcoming album Don't Be Dumb... yet again. Moreover, the long-anticipated project, his first in eight years, was supposed to come out next week on Friday, August 30. However, it seems like the LP will now come out later in the fall of 2024, with no tentative, rumored, or hinted day-and-month date in sight. At least it seems like it'll come out this year. Furthermore, amid a lot of fan speculation and concern due to these external reports, the Harlem creative finally provided an official statement on the matter via Twitter on Thursday (August 22). "LEAKS & SAMPLE CLEARANCES ARE DISRUPTING THE ALBUM," A$AP Rocky captioned a retweet of a post covering this delay. "ITS BEEN 6 YEARS & I WANNA MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER. IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT." Still, we at least have more material from the album to enjoy and hold us over until Don't Be Dumb is finally in our hands. One of these new moves is the single and music video "HIGHJACK," which caused a lot of commotion due to his potential Drake disses on the song.

IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT. https://t.co/rA0Z9u66Sy — LORD FLACKO JODYE II (@asvpxrocky) August 22, 2024 Speaking of which, A$AP Rocky recently spoke on this Drake feud during his Billboard cover interview. "You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years," he remarked to the publication. "I ain't in the middle of that s**t. That's not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain't about nothing." Meanwhile, despite these issues holding the release of Don't Be Dumb back, A$AP Rocky still found plenty of room as of late to unwind and enjoy life. For example, he and Rihanna (plus their children) recently went on a vacation to her native home country of Barbados. There's a lot of FOMO-inducing, wholesome, and fun content from this trip. Most likely, Rocky kept working on the project during this time, and while it won't come out as soon as we thought, we at least know that it's finally coming out.

Dwight Howard's Sexual Assault & Battery Case Gets Dismissed

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 18:32 GMT

In July of 2023, Stephen Harper filed a lawsuit against Dwight Howard, accusing the former NBA star of sexual assault and battery. Reportedly, the suit stemmed from an encounter they had at Howard's Georgia home in 2021. Harper accused Howard of sexually assaulting him, which Howard denied. Instead, he insisted that they took part in "consensual sexual activity." He proceeded to ask the judge to dismiss the case, a request they quickly shot down in February. Now, however, ESPN reports that Harper has dismissed every claim he made against Howard, meaning he cannot sue him again for those claims. Howard's attorney Justin Bailey also told the outlet that Harper was not paid to drop the lawsuit. At the time of writing, it remains unclear what prompted this decision. Read More: Dwight Howard Abandons Defamation Suit Against Woman Who Accused Him Of Being Bisexual Stephen Harper Dismisses All Claims Against Dwight Howard View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) In Harper's original filing, he alleged that he and Howard exchanged various DMs that were sexual in nature. Eventually, after months of chatting, Howard allegedly invited Harper to his house for sex. When he arrived, Harper alleged that he was made to participate in a threesome with a cross-dresser named Kitty. Howard's legal battle with Harper is not the only one he's seen the end of as of late, however. In March of this year, Howard also dropped his lawsuit against Masin Elije. Back in 2018, Elije allegedly spread rumors that Howard is bisexual. He denied this at the time and went on to sue her for defamation. Reportedly, he decided to drop the suit because he did not believe he'd be able to gather enough evidence to win the case. What do you think of Stephen Harper dropping his lawsuit against Dwight Howard? Are you surprised by this or not? What about Howard reportedly receiving zero settlement money?

DL Hughley Explains Why He Will Never Be On Shannon Sharpe's "Predatory" Podcast

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 18:20 GMT

D.L. Hughley was one of many comedians that had something big to say about the 2024 interview that keeps on giving. Moreover, during a recent sit-down interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV, he expressed why he thinks that Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast became "predatory" with the Katt Williams interview and why he'd never go on it. Principally, the comedian came to this conclusion because it didn't fairly characterize the relationships that most comedians have with each other. "I think that, like any other endeavor, there are jealousies, idiosyncrasies," D.L. Hughley's comments on Shannon Sharpe began. "But I don't think that's indicative of the experiences that most of us have. After the Katt Williams interview, which was a phenomenon, he kept trying to replicate it. 'Let me bring on somebody else to have a beef.' Like, I can understand it was a phenomenon. But then, all of a sudden, you try to replicate it. Read More: D.L. Hughley Calls Out DJ Khaled's Silence On War In Gaza Despite His Palestinian Roots D.L. Hughley Speaks On Shannon Sharpe & Club Shay Shay Watch Video on YouTube "To me, just like you love what you do, he love what he does," D.L Hughley continued concerning Shannon Sharpe. "For me, as a matter of principle, it is too messy. Now, I think it's morphed into something else because I think that brook has run dry. But for me, it's just all of those people I saw on there were people who wanted to go on there because of what happened on Undisputed. The way Skip did him made me and a lot of other Black people go 'F**k this, we're going to make sure this brother's okay.' "But then you take that and the very people that got there first, I think, were damaged by the first iteration of what went on," D.L. Hughley concluded. "For me, I would never do it. I was going to do it a long time ago. Honestly, before that happened, I had been slated to do it a couple of different times. I just didn't. I'm glad he's making his money, I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. I'm not jealous or hateful. It's just a personal thing I wouldn't do. And people can say, 'Why you do Vlad and not him?' I f**k with you. [He] don't need me anyway. And he was my favorite football player ever. He's my favorite tight-end ever, ever."

Macklemore Fan Arrested Onstage After Duet

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 17:54 GMT

Macklemore isn't one to engage in onstage antics, but a twist of fate lent some very odd context to a recent performance of his. Moreover, he (along with many other artists) took the stage at the Lovestream Festival in Slovakia, and at one point, he invited a Slovenian fan onstage to perform a duet with him. After the woman boasted about it on social media, someone recognized her from an open police report (as a wanted woman) and informed authorities at the "Hind's Hall" MC's performance. Cops let her wrap her performance up and then arrested her for avoiding a fine from an alleged streaking incident. Elsewhere, Macklemore instead usually draws up controversy for his music, whether for the right and wrong reasons. Most recently, his release of a pro-Palestine track stirred up a storm on social media, including a response diss from Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Remedy. Overall, this is a very complex situation and one that political and social polarization can obfuscate when it comes to the actual humanitarian issues at hand. Nevertheless, the "Thrift Shop" rapper's powerful single speaks volumes to the need to engage in these difficult conversations and definitely achieved at least part of its intended effect.

(Photo by Kristy Sparow/Getty Images) "I didn't expect to be on a microphone," Macklemore expressed during a pro-Palestine rally in Washington, DC. "There are thousands of people here more qualified to speak on the issue of a free Palestine than myself. But I will say this: They told me to be quiet. They told me to do my research, to go back, that it's too complex to say something, right? To be silent in this moment. In the last three weeks, I've gone back and I've done some research ... I'm teachable. I don't know enough. But I know enough that this is a genocide." "I have so many close lifelong Jewish and Muslim friends and I don't want to cause any additional harm to any of them," Macklemore shared on Instagram. "But I trust in our friendships that even if we disagree we can be rooted in love and acceptance in whatever dialogue transpires. I trust that these potential challenging and emotional conversations will not divide us in the end but lead to more compassion. Killing the innocent is never the answer. Revenge only breeds more hatred. Thinking of ourselves as separate from one another is a lie."

Wack 100 Gets Dragged For Sudden Nipsey Hussle Praise

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 17:52 GMT

Earlier this week, Wack 100 hopped online to share some kind words about none other than late West Coast icon, Nipsey Hussle. "@nipseyhussle I've checked the #'s he's up dam near 5000% overall when it comes to music & merch ... And TV series or Movie has yet to drop which will drive that # up even more .. I now call him a musical #LEGEND ..... #West," he wrote on Instagram. "The Truth Can Never Be Considered Disrespect ... I call a [spade] a [spade].... @nipseyhussle musical #LEGEND," he added in a subsequent post. Wack's comments were a response to reports that Victory Lap, Nipsey's last album, has officially surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. While Nipsey's fanbase certainly agrees with Wack, some have taken the opportunity to call the music manager out. He hasn't always had nice things to say about the rapper, and evidently, they haven't forgotten. In 2022, for example, Wack alleged that he had a sex tape featuring Nipsey and another man. He also previously shot down claims that he's a "legend."

In his comments section, they're slamming him for switching up after trashing Nipsey in the past. "U been slandering this man legacy and name for years now u wanna show love smh. U said what u said now stay on tht side," one Instagram user says. "My problem you just all last year talking about a sextape you got on old boi now you posting showing love," another writes.

Kanye West Considered Changing His Name To A Swastika

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 17:15 GMT

Kanye West is certainly no stranger to controversy, and apparently, he considered fueling even more back in 2022. For those who don't recall, this was the same year that Ye vowed to go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" in a wild and offensive Tweet. He's since claimed that he can't be antisemitic because he's Black. Either way, this bizarre behavior cost him a sizable chunk of his fanbase. According to white supremacist Nick Fuentes, Ye once pondered the idea of doubling down by changing his name to a swastika. In a clip, he elaborates on the performer's plan, claiming that he was set on it being the actual symbol instead of the word. This way, the media would have to use a swastika anytime they talked about him, at least in theory. Fortunately, it appears as though Ye was only making a joke, albeit a questionable one.

pic.twitter.com/4aRDmRDjUd — GoodAssSub (@GoodAssSub) August 22, 2024 If Ye was serious about his name change, on the other hand, most agree that it's for the best that he didn't go through with it. After all, he's already dealt with serious consequences for his comments about the Jewish community. This, of course, would only take things to the next level. It's to be noted that Fuentes' claims should be taken with a grain of salt considering his own background. As for what Ye's been up to nowadays, he recently dropped his joint album with Ty Dolla Sign Vultures 2, which has received lackluster reviews. He's also been accused of having an addiction to nitrous oxide. His former Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos accuses his dentist of providing him with it.

Travis Scott, Big Sean, & The 1975 Left Us In Awe With "Don't Play"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 16:32 GMT

Travis Scott is finally doing something that his die-hard fans have been asking him to do for years. On August 23 at midnight, the Houston megastar is going to be bringing his second mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, to streaming services. The fan-favorite 2014 release has strictly been on Soundcloud or downloaded onto people's phones illegally for just over a decade. Those days are now over and also for the first time, physical music buyers can relive the magic on vinyl or CD. What's also so amazing about this is that he will also be dropping some extra tracks from around that time that never got to see the light of day. With all of this excitement, we are going back to DBR to relisten to some of its biggest bangers. Undoubtedly, one of those is "Don't Play", the collab between Travis Scott, The 1975, and Big Sean. The lead single to this 12-track mixtape, "Don't Play" features one of La Flame's hungriest rapping performances in his entire discography. While this collection of songs was more so a building block for his debut album Rodeo a year later, there were some fairly consistent themes on DBR. With Scott learning so much from the likes of Kanye West and more, he felt that he was on the cusp of stardom. That's why there so many songs on here about believing in yourself and having that ambitious mindset. "Don't Play" is certainly one of those cases, especially with bars like these.

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 16:25 GMT

Earlier this week, Big Sean dropped off a new music video for his track "Yes," sparking big reactions from some Baby Keem fans. The Detroit performer was immediately accused of copying Keem's style, causing both of them to trend on X. "We really live in a world where baby keem has 40 year old sons," one critic wrote. "Kendrick and Baby Keem bout to send Big Sean a cease and desist," another claimed. Luckily, plenty of fans rushed to Big Sean's defense, pointing out that he'd been rapping that way long before Baby Keem. Now, it appears as though he's taken to X to address the debacle for himself. "Must not be familiar wit my game," he Tweeted last night. Clearly, Big Sean stands by his work and isn't afraid to defend it if necessary.

Welcome Home, Ralo: Rapper Talks New Album, Standing On Principles & His Loyalty To Young Dolph

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 16:11 GMT

We've witnessed Ralo's hardships over the years. He was one of the most authentic voices in the South who was propelled to acclaim through mixtape-hosting platforms before he was arrested on federal charges after authorities reportedly discovered pounds of cannabis on his private jet. By the time that happened, Ralo had already become a pillar in his community, one who was recognized within Atlanta and outside of it. With the rapper's release from prison in 2023, he returned home to a new world where streaming algorithms reigned supreme and those who were once the hottest rappers had faded into obscurity and a new crop of artists emerged. Yet, Ralo's M.O. hasn't changed creatively nor has his commitment to his community. "I ain't ever been the artist that had this hit record," he explained to HotNewHipHop. "More people bought into me as a person, you know what I'm saying? Like, what I did for the community, what I do for the community and you know, the way I was living, the way I was moving. They were able to relate to me and relate to my story through music." His forthcoming album, Welcome Home, sees him telling his side of the story for the first time since his release. With appearances from Anthony Hamilton, K Michelle, Key Glock, and more, the 16-song body of work will appear on DSPs on Friday, August 23rd. Ahead of its release, we caught up with Ralo over Zoom to discuss the making of the project, his friendship with Young Dolph, and fulfilling his purpose. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Photo Credit: Shemaal HotNewHipHop: The new album is due out on August 23rd. How does it feel working on a full body of work with new songs after six years? Ralo: When we speak of work, you know, because that's a different kind of work. Because I was never able to depend on a rap game as I am doing now. Before I got into this rap shit, I was just selling dope, and that was my stream of income and I was just having fun with this rap shit. I never even thought that I would accumulate any financial stability from it. However, I've been blessed to utilize my platform, my social media engagement, and my fanbase now to produce a lot of f*cking money, you know? And it just feels different having to strategize things versus just going to re-up and buy some dope and then selling it. So it's a different hustle that I'm adapting to. Hopefully, after this, I'll be able to - I want to focus on pushing artists and pushing my whole label itself, including myself, of course. But you know, I want to just do a broad push of, you know, being a CEO and being the person that I believe that I could be, you smell me? And others believe in, as well. With the creative flow and getting back into the booth after such a long period, was it a fulfilling process for you to record this album? I mean, in recording the album, you know, I did a lot of from jail. My album was pretty much done while I was in jail. When I got out, when I got into the halfway house, they didn't allow me to go anywhere else other than work and back to the halfway house. So every day I'm going to work and [back to the] halfway house, work, halfway house. I was stuck in the studio all day, 10 hours per day for months, five days a week. So I'm doing 50 hours a week inside the studio. This coming from never having to do shit like that because I barely even was able to go to the studio before I went to jail and whatnot. I'm forced to be in there so I'm coming up with all kinds of creative shit, and I'm able to vent the way I want to vent, you know? And you know, with the music and the rap game, me, personally, it just helped with my mental health, you know? It just helped me, and it helped me within my soul and stuff like that. So, like, a lot of the times when I'm in the booth or something, I'm just venting, you smell me? You say that on "First Day Out." That line really stuck with me, when you say, "Every time I do a song, you're going to hear me vent." How do those lyrics reflect the process of you coming home and putting together this body of work while you're in the halfway house? I think that people really - you know, I ain't ever been the artist that had this hit record. Like, you got your Bossman Dlow's and stuff. They got big songs, and they were able to capitalize off that song, which is what drove their career and things of that matter. More people bought into me as a person, you know what I'm saying? Like, what I did for the community, what I do for the community and you know, the way I was living, the way I was moving. They were able to relate to me and relate to my story through music. So, everything that I do is kind of on a level of, you know, "I'm listening to Ralo, his story is real, and let's see what he was talking about." You know, they go back at that time and moment, and [they're like] "Okay, he made this song when he got caught with that weed. He made this song when he got caught with them bricks." Or, "he made this song when woopty woop got shot" or whatnot. So, like I was able to capture the people off of my story, you smell me? And it's a blessing that others are able to relate to it and have a grand interest in it, you smell me? Watch Video on YouTube How has that reception felt from your community and peers since you got back home? That feeling of that energy must be different considering all that you've gone through. I mean, you know, from the outside looking in, people just look at me as some kind of big-time kingpin, drug smuggler. You know what comes with the streets and shit so they look at me in the manner of being mean or arrogant. But when people are actually able to come around me, it's a whole different feel. They get to feel my energy, you know what I'm saying it? That's when I mostly win my fans and whatnot. So coming home to all my people at the "First Day Out" video shoot, and they were vibing with me and they were able to capture that moment. That was history for all of us, and you know that went in the books. We can always go back and look at that video, you smell me? What can we expect from Welcome Home? In terms of the features, how many songs, etc. I mean, I did a lot, a lot of features with bigger artists and, one of the main problems I had with getting clearances was my commitment with Young Dolph, you smell me? So like with that commitment, it kind of prohibited me from getting clearances from artists that had grand dealings with CMG, which is a massive amount of artists in the industry. I wasn't able to even put a lot of the songs on the album that I did with others, because, you know, people just was playing the politics games. They doing the songs with me and sh*t but as soon as it's time to get clearances, n***as froze up because they want to keep their face clean within the industry with CMG, and they know I'm team Dolph. You know, that probably would have plucked the feathers of some people. However, I was able to still do my thing because at first, I was like f* ck a feature, I'm just gonna do Ralo. I really loved Anthony Hamilton's music throughout my life. I always heard him and I doing the record together, even when I was a kid, looking at 106 & Park and sh*t. I was able to get him on the record. I had a female companion who left me while I was incarcerated, and she was really obsessed with K. Michelle. You know, I think revenge is the best success. Revenge is the best way to get that revenge and success, so I was able to go snatch her up, and she did a wonderful job on the stuff. Yungeen Ace, him and I got real good companionship with GMK and Draco out of Texas. Shout out to them. We were able to do a nice record together to go with the situation that he got going on because he was accused of a murder or whatnot, and I was accused of several murders or whatnot. So we were able to come together and vent through our record on that. I got Key Glock. You know, a lot of blogs and a lot of people and YouTubers, they was always saying, man, key Glock wasn't kicking it, or we weren't friends, or we had some kind of problem. I don't know what the f*ck problems they thought we had, but I seen that a lot. He saw that a lot on a lot of blogs and stuff. At the time, we were together every single day. I don't know where the hell they get that from, but I had to put him on there to show them we never had any problems. We've been doing records before, and we still doing records now. And, you know, people were saying I was stealing the Dolph trophy like, I'm trying to be the face of P.R.E or whatnot but that was never the case. Of course, we got the whole Paper Route on there. We got Kenny Muney, Big Moochie Grape, Goldmouf. We got Anti The Menace. That's one of my good little homies from Atlanta. I really wasn't trying to do songs with n***as I really didn't f*ck with, you smell me? He's one of them dudes that I really have a solidified relationship with, not just because I paid his bond or I put money on his book because I'll do that regardless. I mean, I got a real friendship. Is there a particular song that you're excited for people to hear? I mean, the record is called "On Me." So, pretty much, it's telling the people and reminding the people of myself and what I have done for others. Because I made this record while I was in prison, and I sent it over to Anthony Hamilton, and he put his vocals and things on that, and it came out a classic record. We actually did the video and everything. It's reminding the people, because, you know, when I first bought my first neighborhood, which is Pakistan off of Lucia Avenue, which was what the feds have taken from me at that time, I bought it as a shell. Like it was no drywall, it was no framing, it was no sheetrock. It was no floors, it was no sinks, no bathroom, no toilets, no tubs, no nothing. You know, I had people that turned against me that I put the sheetrock on their wall, I put these floors on their ground, put this toilet in their bathroom so they can shit and shower. I put beds in their rooms. I put, you know, TVs on their walls and things of that matter. If a person did that for me, I would show grand gratitude and appreciation. I won't ever cross that person by no means. And then it's rap n***as that when they weren't hot, I gave them verses, and you know, they ain't do the same for me, you smell me? When I was in prison, I needed these things to accumulate cash and stuff to give me residual income for my family and sh*t so, like, I pretty much been against what those people had done to me, you smell me? And all kind of allegations that they put forth on my name. I'm speaking on those things as well, on that record. That's a massive record for myself. What were the biggest challenges for you in adapting to coming back home? Was there a hurdle that you had to overcome since then? As you know, right now, we're on Zoom. I'm used to walking into the HotNewHipHop office, throwing the little basketball we had. And, you know, I'm used to going in there and vibing every time I come to New York. That was one of the places that I always stopped by. If we think back then, you had your MyMixtapez, your DatPIff, your Spinrilla. You had your Live Mixtapes. You had all these different platforms that we used to have to utilize and try to get on the front page of just to get a big look in this rap sh*t. But now, with streaming and shit, the payouts are different and people are able to have the financial stability that they didn't have. These people let that money get to their head, you smell me? They poke their chest out, You know, arrogance is a bad thing to have within people because that causes mischief within the land. People that are humble, that are willing to have conversations to avoid problems, they are being stepped over because these other people continue to want to just f**k up and cause problems within the community and stuff like that. So like, my biggest hurdle is dealing with sucker sh*t like that, you smell me? Because a lot of things could be avoided with just a conversation. And when people feel like they need this of another person, they just ain't willing to have that conversation, which is, which is what causes massive wars in the streets and sh*t like that. So I think that my biggest hurdle.

ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 17: Ralo performs at Birthday Bash ATL The Pop Up Edition Concert at Philips Arena on June 17, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Prince Williams/WireImage) It feels like you have a renewed sense of purpose. How would you describe Ralo's mission statement in 2024, as both a musician and a community pillar? I mean, my mission statement will always be to revert ourselves to our Lord, you smell me? That's the most important thing that we all need to strive towards is getting right with our Lord. And you know, getting to know Him, getting closer to Him, praying to Him, begging Him for forgiveness. And you know, asking Him to remove all the f*cked up desires that we have in our hearts, you smell me? My mission will always be to remind each other of our Lord. Get closer to Him. You know, throughout my songs, I actually talk about the Lord quite a bit, you smell me? My religion is Islam, but it don't matter what religion you is. It's still, unless you're atheist, of course, it's still important for us to get closer to our Lord. I want to just be able to look back and say when I'm listening to this project, that this was my welcome home project, you smell me? To bring me home, bring me closest to my people. And I'm doing a whole lot of venting and a lot of things that I haven't spoken upon, I spoke upon on this album. My mission within this album is to get people to understand what I did, why I did it, how I did it, and what would I be doing now moving forward. You had Drake, Meek Mill, and a bunch of people just advocating for your release in a letter to Biden. How did you feel seeing that type of support from these major names, some of your peers who are still rocking with you and hoping to see you come home? I mean, it's an amazing feeling. You know, that's some shit that I never felt like I was worthy of. To be able to be mentioned by the higher public figures in our community. I just wasn't expecting those things. However, you know, it gave me hope. It gave me strength. The only thing that bothered me was that they didn't know what I was truly being investigated for because that would prohibit me from getting a pardon because I had, you know, multiple violent accusations that the feds were trying to pursue me in. I didn't want them to be misled about what was really going on. If it was just about marijuana, I would've got a pardon and their work wouldn't have gone in vain. But due to the Attorney General reaching out to the prosecutor and saying, "Hey, this is just a marijuana case. What is the status of it? And why is Mr. Davis being treated so harshly for these charges?" The prosecutor responded to them and said, "Hey, this is just not a marijuana case." They saying that I have possibly killed other people and stuff like that. And I'm telling them like, "No, that ain't what I did," or nothing like that, but that's what they were trying to put on me. And you know, when people advocating that it's just weed, you know, it just - I don't want to mislead the people into thinking that it was just weed. You've been using your social media page to shine a light on other people's legal situations, especially peers and friends. What type of responsibility do you feel you have to use your platform to shed light on people who faced similar situations as yours? I think that God gives all of us whatever He gives us, and it's our duty to share with the people. We weren't a seed that was planted on this earth to produce income for others. Some of us just have what we can make to satisfy our own family, our own personal bills, and things of that matter. But whenever you get massive amounts of money, it's your duty, you have obligation to help the people. With my platform, I have over a million followers, and I have a lot of engagement. Like, I got over 30 million views on my page last month. It's my duty to be that commercial for the people. The blogs only pick up a lot of drama most of the time, or the only thing they pick up is when a n***a buying somebody a car buying a b*tch a purse, and things of that matter. And it's more than that going on in the community. It's people getting shot, it's people getting killed. It's kids having funerals, and mamas burying their kids. It's a lot of shit going on that doesn't get broadcasted at all. I utilize my platform, and I know ain't the news or no sh*t like that, but it's my duty to be able to promote that stuff for them, and if I don't, then you know that burden lies on me, because I believe in God, you smell me? How did the loss of Young Dolph affect you? I mean, you know that sh*t affected me in ways that I don't even be able to control, you smell me? Like the last interview I did, I done cried tears. out and cried too. He was a great person. He was a great person that I called my friend, and he was heavy in supporting me. And a lot of times, we need that support from people that's in the industry, or have a little bit more leeway than ourselves, like we really do need that extra push, the extra support, the extra help. And he was one of the people that I always could depend on. No matter what the circumstances were, he was always there for me, whether I was rich, poor, up or down, free, in jail, however it was. He was one of the only people that I knew who supported me wholeheartedly, without any financial gain or any clout or anything like that. That was one of the people that I feel like I lost that, you know, I probably won't ever get back that kind of support, that love, you smell me? I watched a recent interview where you said that rap was one of your worst investments but as you mentioned earlier, you're interested in getting into a more executive position with your label and pushing new artists. But outside of music, what are you most excited to accomplish in the foreseeable future? I mean, I just see a whole lot of artists that had a massive buzz and had money coming in, like a motherfucker. It's a list that we can never complete. Like every day, these people come up with hit records, and you know, they had their time. They go buy their jewelry, they go buy their cars, they put this in their mouth and you know, two years later, they're miserable. In order to prohibit that misery, you got to utilize the money that you're making out this music to buy something that you can find peace in. And a lot of people just don't understand you can't find no peace in a car, you can't find no peace in buying jewelry, you can't find no peace in buying some p*ssy. You gotta be really interested in making it to your sanctuary. That's your home. Make sure whatever place you call home, you invest the most into. Me, personally, I find most of my peace in my hood. So, I make sure I invest the majority of all my money that I make into my hood. Within doing that, I was able to build a community center, I was able to build a mosque, I was able to build a barber shop, a hair salon. All the places that I knew I was gonna have to go and spend money, I made sure I was able to do that because I know in two, three years, it's going to be another n***a getting out of prison that's hot, you smell me? I don't to be a fool and be in a miserable state of mind, just like the rest of the artists that I see today.

Cardi B Fans Think She Just Dissed Nicki Minaj & JT During Her Instagram Live

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:58 GMT

While most of the Nicki Minaj and Cardi B beef is a battle between the Barbz and the Bardi Gang, sometimes these artists can fuel it too. Moreover, a lot of the latter group thinks that their fav sent shade to the Trinidadian superstar and to her former collaborator, JT. For those unaware, Nicki apparently unfollowed the former City Girl on Instagram (and Ice Spice, for that matter), which prompted someone to ask about that situation during Cardi's recent Instagram Live. While it's technically still up in the air whether she meant to address them, she did mention this commenter by name, and the comments themselves explicitly name these femcees. "Freaky Marko, can you stop f***ing - I love you, but please stop mentioning these b***hes on my s**t," Cardi B expressed during her IG Live, responding to @freakymarko's question about Nicki Minaj and JT. "I love you to death, but don't mention these h*es on my s**t. That s**t is just messy." Interestingly enough, Nicki recently enlisted BIA for her upcoming tour, whom dissed Cardi on a track earlier this year.

That sh-t is just messy." What was the spectators comment?... pic.twitter.com/CEzRcPa9DF — M lagro (@MobzWorld) August 22, 2024 Elsewhere, another possible development in this long-running beef came from Nicki Minaj, as she took to Twitter to seemingly respond to Cardi B flaunting her top status following her Inspiration Award win at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards. "Hi so let's get into this right now," Nicki tweeted. "I'm that Btch. That's Number 1. Number 2. Revisit number one. If it means you gotta revisit that s**t 500 times a day, DO IT!!!!!!!! Before you EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think bout playing pon MY BOMBOROSCLOT HEADTOP!!!!!" "I'm really my biggest critic and I always say this," Cardi B said in her Impact Awards speech. "Nobody has it harder than in the industry and in every genre than a female rapper, and I'm going to tell you why. You have to have the best verse. Not only that, you have to kill the charts. On top of that, your personal life has to be perfect, or then the opp b***hes are going to use that against you." We'll see what happens next between these warring femcees.

Prince Fans Slam John Legend For DNC Tribute

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:45 GMT

Yesterday, John Legend took the stage at the Democratic National Convention at Chicago's United Center. He delivered a lively performance of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy," joined by the late icon's frequent collaborator Sheila E. The duo went on just before Tim Walz accepted the nomination for Vice President, though some believe they missed the mark. Of course, Legend's talent is undeniable, but social media users argue that the song simply wasn't a good fit. Many think Sheila E would have been better off going solo, or alongside someone else entirely. Disgruntled viewers are sounding off about the tribute on X, calling the moment an "insult" to Prince's legacy. Read More: Lil Jon Shocks Fans With Surprise Performance At DNC Roll Call: Watch John Legend & Sheila E's DNC Prince Tribute "Who the hell decided that John Legend was the perfect pick to perform Let's Go Crazy? Don't do that sh*t again. Sheila E. and that guitarist alone was fire! #DNC," one user writes. "I'm sorry but John Legend doesn't have the singing style or voice of Prince. They should've got someone else to cover his song," someone else claims. Fortunately, many others are coming to Legend's defense, arguing that it was a fun tribute despite all the controversy it's stirred up. One part of the tribute that's receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback is Ari O'Neal's guitar performance. Fans think she stole the show and took the performance to the next level. "I don't know who the guitarist was who was absolutely shredding with John Legend and Sheila E on 'Let's Go Crazy' but I think I'm in love," one supporter says on X. John Legend and Sheila E. weren't the only artists to grace the stage at the event, as Lil Jon, Patti LaBelle, Mickey Guyton, and more have also performed. What do you think of John Legend and Sheila E's Prince tribute? What about some fans claiming Legend was the wrong choice for it?

Sexyy Red Wants To Cheer Up Kodak Black After Seeing His Depressing Post

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:03 GMT

A couple of days ago, Kodak Black put out quite a distressing message on his Instagram Story. "Now I understand nobody give af about me if I ain't paying

Lonely af out here bro

". Fans shared their thoughts in the comments section and most of them were pretty supportive. It's not totally clear on who or what he was referring to. But given his profession, there are people out there who will claim to be your friend or say they love you. However, in reality, they could be in their life to see if they can freeload and mooch off of their wealth. Regardless of what Kodak Black was talking about, Sexyy Red wanted to make sure that she hears his sentiment. "What's up Yak?", Red began. "I seen your post. Motherf***ers don't love you if ain't got no money for them. I said I feel you Yak. It's okay. We fixing to go on tour".

F*** them broke a** h**s. Imma turn you up".

Yung Miami Laughs At Joe Budden's "Pump It Up" Plaque And Prompts A Shady Response

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 14:48 GMT

Joe Budden recently received his official Gold plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for "Pump It Up." His biggest commercial hit came out 21 years ago, and though it's a late arrival, it's a celebratory one nonetheless. However, this became an easy target for the Slaughterhouse MC's haters, as many folks online made fun of this development. In fact, even Yung Miami (formerly of the City Girls) tweeted out some crying-laughing emojis in response to this. While it's unclear whether she meant to disrespect him with this post, he certainly took it as such. "It would be too easy....." Joe Budden tweeted in response to Yung Miami's laughter. "Maybe tmw lol..." he added in another tweet responding to a fan who asked him to let loose on her. For those unaware, Budden has been previously critical of Caresha in the public eye, such as commenting on her recent expressions concerning the Diddy scandal. Specifically, he thinks that he threw her City Girls partner JT under the bus with her comments and instead had sympathy for the disgraced hip-hop mogul despite his confirmed and alleged crimes. Read More: Joe Budden Thinks Yung Miami's "Caresha Please" Podcast Could Be Over Joe Budden's Responses To Yung Miami It would be too easy..... https://t.co/fLLhXvC1ma — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) August 22, 2024 Maybe tmw lol... https://t.co/V5phcAIgGc — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) August 22, 2024 Of course, what Joe Budden is referring to with these tweets is that Yung Miami is no commercial juggernaut either, as evidenced by his thoughts on the City Girls' very poor album sales last year. "I need to have that number confirmed," he said on his podcast about their alleged 6K first week debut for RAW, which was actually 10K. Budden questioned this discrepancy, and wasn't critical of the duo at all but rather of their label, the system that quantified these numbers, and their behind-the-scenes struggles. "It still sounds unbelievable to me. I'm with you as far as how they counted that. Maybe it's the pure album sales. Somebody was trying to hurt them during their release." Meanwhile, speaking of record label and music business nonsense, Joe Budden also recently spoke on Drake's licensing deal. He thinks that far too many people falsely believe that Drizzy has a lot of freedom in this UMG partnership. While those details and considerations are well beyond the scope of accessible information for most music listeners, that murky water is exactly what should inspire this skepticism. We'll see if Joe has any more thoughts on his Gold plaque and on these conversations.

Megan Thee Stallion To Host The 2024 VMAs

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 14:29 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion continues to keep winning in 2024, as she will be the host of the 2024 MTV VMAs. The network dropped this bombshell on their social media pages just minutes ago with the caption, "@THEESTALLION IS HOSTING THEE 2024 #VMAs!

Trust us, you won't want to miss the show! September 11 on @mtv!

". For those wondering what time you can start watching, it will air at 8 p.m. ET. The Houston, Texas rapper will be a busy bee that night, as she is also up for five categories. Those include "Best Collaboration", "Best Hip-Hop", "Best Direction", "Best Visual Effects", and "Best Art Direction". Overall, fans seem to be pretty juiced about the news. "I ain't watch the VMAs in years. I'm bout to throw a whole watch party

", one IG user claims. "The V M Ahs

", another cleverly writes. Of course, there was also some back-and-forth shots from the Hotties and Nicki Minaj's Barbz. "The barbs are angry

". "They couldn't get Nicki Minaj so they had to settle and down grade for Megan".

Some of her biggest accomplishments include dropping her comeback album MEGAN, going on the Hot Girl Summer Tour, and even her catchy Amazon jingle for this year's Prime Day. Those reasons alone make sense as to why MTV selected her to host the long-running award show. But she's also run things on other popular programs such as Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Tyrese Accuses His Ex-Wife Of Trying To Squeeze $40K A Month From Him Amid Divorce

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 14:07 GMT

Tyrese is still going through a nasty and contentious divorce process with his ex-wife Samantha Lee. Moreover, much of their back-and-forth in court concerns supposedly defamatory statements from one party to the other, as well as discrepancies over payments and asset divisions. But the most recent update concerns the actor and singer's monthly payments to Lee after their divorce eventually finalizes. Furthermore, he claims that she and her legal team is trying to squeeze even more money out of him. This comes after the Los Angeles native reflected tearfully on this and other struggles during his return to The Breakfast Club. "I just got another letter from her lawyers," Tyrese's comments on his ongoing divorce began via Instagram Live. "Requesting that I send over all of my tax returns and all of my bank statements because she's trying to get $20,000 and I think they're trying to take it up to, like, 40. They've been looking at all of my movies and all of the concerts and shows that I've been doing and they over there like blood-sucking lawyers, rubbing their hands. And Samantha's doing the same thing.

Let's go ahead and get those bank statements over here so we can figure out a way to get this law firm another $600,000 they were asking for in legal fees,'" Tyrese went on. "It's a dirty, dirty game out here. Well, y'all won't keep waiting. Y'all pray for me because I am hearing that the appeals court around my case - my divorce case is being appealed. And they are going to give me the outcome of my appeal August 25." Meanwhile, Tyrese also dismissed social media backlash to his recent and controversial performance of the national anthem. "Thank you...... You're always welcome here..... respectfully," he responded to a Twitter user blasting his take. "I don't really know if I agree.... Few bad notes? Mheeeee that's an open mic for you.....

ASAP Rocky Finally Breaks His Silence On Drake Beef

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 13:42 GMT

ASAP Rocky's new Billboard cover story is an expansive piece, which should come as no surprise. After all, he's just as involved in music as he is in fashion and film these days, and his family life with Rihanna and their children supersedes all of that. But of course, there was no way that the outlet wasn't going to ask about the Harlem creative's beef with Drake, one of many stemming from a group of Kendrick Lamar-led artists dissing the Toronto superstar this year. While his thoughts definitely fulfill a fan-fueled need to learn more about their rift, his comments also make it clear that he considers this a largely irrelevant footnote when he'll look back at 2024. "You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years," A$AP Rocky's words on the Drake beef began. "I ain't in the middle of that s**t. That's not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain't about nothing."

(Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images) As such, it seems like A$AP Rocky's pot shots at Drake on Future and Metro Boomin's "Show Of Hands," plus the ones that Drizzy for him on cuts like "Family Matters," are just that to him: pot shots. They're boastful but well-documented bars from two MCs who don't like each other, but it was never going to escalate to the level of a full-blown battle. Perhaps Rocky's next album Don't Be Dumb will contain even more disses, but it's clear that it's not a focal point. It's just lyrical content like any other in the rap game. Meanwhile, for those unaware, A$AP Rocky and Drake's beef might stem back to when the former first started dating Rihanna, leading up to their marriage. The fact that it seems like a petty exchange over women they've both been with and whether or not they're dropping good albums makes it even more likely that not much will come from this feud. Again, we have to wait until Don't Be Dumb to fully see, as the 6ix God may have dissed Rocky again on the recent "It's Up" with Young Thug and 21 Savage. But if it does continue, their jabs will be nothing like the actual showdown with Kendrick Lamar, and neither lyricist probably wants to take it there at this point.

Rihanna's Savage X Fenty CEO Quits After Just One Year

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 13:08 GMT

Rihanna's Savage X Fenty brand has grown a lot over the years, netting her a whole lot of profit. But it seems like the company might go through some big changes soon, as a new change in leadership will mark a new era. Moreover, their CEO Hillary Super reportedly left Savage X Fenty and accepted an $18 million offer to work at Victoria's Secret remotely. According to The Star, she will start her new job on September 9, although it's not explicitly confirmed if this is about the specific $18 million offer or other terms. Regardless, this news arrives just over a year after Super started at Savage X Fenty in June of 2023 with an unknown salary. Victoria's Secret broke the news on August 14. However, we're sure that Rihanna will find a suitable replacement for the role at Savage X Fenty. She might not be stressing out about it too much right now, especially considering that she just enjoyed a vacation in her native Barbados. RiRi went to the Crop Over Festival, spent wholesome time with A$AP Rocky and their kids, and even hung out with friends. Once she gets back to home base and feels rested, she can think about who her next company head will be. Read More: Rihanna's Former Publicist Discusses Drama Sparked By New Jay-Z Documentary Rihanna Loses CEO At Savage X Fenty View this post on Instagram A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand) Furthermore, Rihanna also has a lot to think about concerning her long-awaited ninth studio album. While we know that it's on the way along with rumblings of a 2025 world tour, it's all speculative at the moment. As such, we recommend you just keep your eyes peeled for any significant and official updates on the matter. Until then, many reports about the project remain rooted in rumor. Meanwhile, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's Barbados vacation celebrated their son Riot Rose's first birthday. Their outings and family time contrast a lot with their moves as artists and entrepreneurs, but in a more positive way than most. As such, fans seem quite content with enjoying their content and supporting them in their journey. But they also really want their next great works of art, so any extracurricular elements will fall to the wayside once they arrive.

Kodak Black Expecting A Fifth Child Months After His Fourth Was Born

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 12:54 GMT

In late February, Kodak Black and now ex-girlfriend Maranda Johnson welcomed child number four into the world. "2/27 a prince was born", she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). What was extra special about this birth was that the Florida rapper was able to get permission from the midwife to help deliver the baby on his own. They are currently up to two children together, with two-year-old daughter, Queen Yuri, being their other bundle of joy. However, it seems that the hitmaker is not done extending his legacy. According to HipHopDX, Kodak Black announced that he is expecting baby number five and did so in explosive fashion, literally. Tons of fireworks were shot off in someone's backyard with big lit up letters spelling out Baby Kapri. If you're wondering why Kapri, it ties into Kodak's surname. The veteran artist does have multiple baby mamas, so you know there's bound to be at least a little drama involved. However, we would argue that there was quite a bit of it this time around. Jammiah "Maya" Broomfield, one of Black's multiple co-parents, was the one that revealed that this fifth newborn was coming. However, she was not willing to spill the beans on who the mother was.

In fact, she vandalized some of Kodak's luxury cars in anger and went sent her over the edge was him being seen with "Maya" in public. Because of this, Maranda then directed her rage toward "Maya". "You doing all that groupie shit and still don't got s***. Everything he buy King you sell it to buy drugs. You deadbeat-a** b****. You so proud to get f***ed and sent home. How you a side b**** to yo own bd??". So, it seems that it isn't totally confirmed who the baby mama is, but based on Maranda's actions, there's a good chance it's "Maya". Regardless, congratulations to Kodak! What are your thoughts on Kodak Black announcing the arrival of his fifth child? Are you surprised that he already has another one on the way?

Drake and Joe Budden have a love-and-hate relationship that has stemmed for many years. Overall, Budden is one of Drizzy's biggest inspirations. If you listen to those early mixtapes, you can hear the Budden influence. When Joe disapproves of something Drizzy does, you can tell the Canadian megastar gets a bit hurt by it. Subsequently, this has led to a bit of a one-sided war between the two. While Joe was the one taking shots in 2016, the script has now flipped, as Budden is the mostly unbothered one. Recently, Joe's biggest song "Pump It Up" went gold. During his most recent podcast, Budden was gifted with a gold plaque for the track. This has led to discourse about the song's impact and how it's possible that it only went gold in 2024. One explanation is that it is up to the label to apply for RIAA certifications. Budden and Def Jam did not end their relationship on the best of terms, and it could have led to a bit of a delay in the proceedings.

In the replies to the DJ Akademiks tweet above, fans immediately roasted Budden for his achievement. Many noted that it would never take Drake 25 years for a song to go gold. Moreover, they made sure to get in as many one-hit-wonder jokes as humanly possible. It was all very cruel and ignores the fact that their favorite artist has been a Joe Budden Stan for ages.

Bakar Turns Up The Funk With Smooth New Single "A Girl Like You"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 05:49 GMT

Bakar has an instantly recognizable voice. It's smooth, it's got a natural groove to it. "Hell N Back" is his biggest song for a reason: it's the perfect combination of worn down and upbeat. Bakar's latest single, "A Girl Like You," may not have the earworm whistle of its predecessor. But it's proof that Bakar has a genuine talent for creating funky UK soul. "A Girl Like You" is less than two minutes in length, but the groove is so fully realized, and the hook is so catchy that the song feels like a complete though. It all starts with the synth. It's the first thing we hear, and gives the film a retro, 1980s feel without being overbearing. Bakar's lyrics are playful in a sort of Prince fashion. The UK singer doesn't take himself too seriously on record. That said, he doesn't offer deliver a line as goofily memorable as: "You made me acknowledge the devil in me. I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically." It all coalesces into something as lightweight and flirty as the song's title suggests. The real secret weapon of Bakar's single, though, is the bass. It absolutely steals the show, especially near the chorus, with its bouncy funk leads taking center stage. Bakar has been dropping singles throughout 2024, like "React" and the "Everytime" remix. "A Girl Like You" is far and away the best of the bunch, though. Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Nicki Minaj Tells Fans To Stop Asking Questions Amidst Ice Spice Beef

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 04:54 GMT

Nicki Minaj had quite a bit to say on August 21. The rapper didn't name names, but she made lots of statements that all felt based around a few specific people. The people in question? The pair she went and unfollowed on Instagram the same day: JT and Ice Spice. Minaj cut ties with the up-and-coming rappers. She then proceeded to criticize younger rappers who go and sign with white owned record labels over her own Heavy On It imprint. THEN she wagged her finger at her fans and claimed she's through talking about "other people." There's obviously a lot to unpack here. We already covered Nicki Minaj's comments about labels, which you can check out here. The rant about "other people," however, was perhaps the most intriguing piece of content that Minaj generated on Wednesday. The rapper addressed her fanbase directly, and said she has no plans to discuss people who are outside of her inner circle. "Don't ask me about nobody," she asserted. "If you don't see someone around me, don't ask me about them." Nicki Minaj then advised curious parties to direct any questions at these other people. Read More: Remy Ma Almost Fell For A Nicki Minaj Reference On "Family Feud" Nicki Minaj Told Barbz They Don't Know The 'Truth' View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) "Go and talk to them," the rapper added. "The truth of the matter is that y'all don't want to know the truth of the matter." The last line reads a bit like a Minaj bar, but it does also suggest that there's more to the story than fans are getting to see. It's not a stretch to infer that the rapper is talking about JT and Ice Spice. Nicki Minaj has had very public falling outs with both of these artists. In the case of Ice Spice, the relationship went from mutually supportive and collaborative to contentious in the span of a year. Minaj and Spice worked together on "Princess Diana" in 2023, and now they don't even follow each other on Instagram. In May 2024, texts claiming to belong to Ice Spice leaked online. The texts saw the "Munch" rapper complain about Nicki Minaj, calling her "ungrateful and delusional" and likening Minaj to her mother. From there, the alleged Ice Spice texts blasted Minaj for being "jealous" of the fact that the younger rapper owned her masters. Real or not, these leaked texts were seemingly the straw that broke the camel's back. Minaj and Spice are on the outs. Don't ask Minaj about it though, per her request.

Screwly G Calls Out FBG Affiliates After FBG Duck's Murder: Watch

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 03:48 GMT

Screwly G wasn't having it on August 21. The rapper got on Instagram Live and proceeded to pop off on FBG affiliates who flooded his comment section. Not only did Screwly G call out FBG for not being as dangerous as they pose themselves, but he evoked the death of one of their most notable members: FBG Duck. Six gang members were found guilty for FBG Duck's murder in January, so to call Screwly's evocation bold is to put it mild. The rapper went into absolute rant mode. "None of you n**gas killed none of 'em," Screwly G asserted. "I'll get into it... Whichever GDE wanna get into it." The rapper then proceed to call out FBG affiliates for talking tough via social media but trying to link up with him for music behind closed doors. "N**ga, you the same bum a*s n**ga who asked me for a feature," Screwly G claimed. "Be a real gangsta, and go to the DMs. Don't unsend your message... Talkin' about Duck this, Duck that." The rapper then went on to criticize the affiliates in the comment section for making him a target. "Y'all n**gas got more aggression for me than for anybody," he claimed. Then, the rapper got aggressive. "I guarantee I finish your a*s," he added. "On my dead cousin. Right where you at, n**ga." Read More: FBG Butta Roasts Lil Durk, Accuses Him Of Being "The Feds" Screwly G Promised To 'Finish' Anybody Who Challenged Him View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks) FBG affiliates aren't the only one annoyed by Screwly G's bravado. King Yella hopped on Instagram Live to defend FBG Duck's name and question why Screwly felt the need to bring him up at all. "Indiana a*s, out of town a*s," Yella dubbed the rapper. "Why is you even mentioning folks? Goofy a*s n**ga. You a b*tch, everyone around you a b*tch." It gets more disrespectful from there. "F*ck your dead homie, f*ck your mom, f*ck your grandmama. Keep Duck name out your mouth." Screwly G is no stranger to dangerous situations. The rapper was involved in a shooting during the making of a music video back in December. Footage obtained by people on the set show the rapper and his team dancing before gunshots can be heard in the background. Everybody subsequently ran for cover. Thankfully nobody was injured in the shooting.

Nicki Minaj Calls Out Rappers For Signing With White Record Labels

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 02:54 GMT

Nicki Minaj had a bone to pick on Wednesday night. The rapper decided to hop on social media and air out her frustrations with the upcoming generation of artists. She initially made headlines for unfollowing the likes of JT and Ice Spice on Instagram, but Minaj had bigger fish to fry. The Young Money icon had a serious issue with the fact that so many African American artists are choosing to sign with record labels owned by white people. Minaj went on to contrast this pattern with the label she owns, Heavy On It. "Motherf*cker tell somebody they don't want to sign with Heavy On It," she noted. "But then they'll go and sign with the white peoples. And guess who the white peoples finna call?" Nicki Minaj then names herself. "They always get the attention of the Barbz." The rapper took things a step further by claiming that the upcoming version of her album, Pink Friday 2, will be limited to Heavy On It signees. The names she considers worth spotlighting. "You will be surprised," Minaj noted. "And I'm not talking about doing ad-libs on any songs. If your name is not on Pink Friday 2, they're not a Heavy On It artist." Read More: Nicki Minaj Prepares To Embark On "Gag City Reloaded" Tour Nicki Minaj Wants More Artists To Sign To Her Label View this post on Instagram A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand) The Heavy On It connection seems somewhat connected to Nicki Minaj's problems with Ice Spice. It was widely speculated that Ice Spice was signed with Heavy On it in 2023. It was later confirmed, though, that the "Munch" rapper had inked a deal with Virgin Records. Spice's debut album, Y2K, was just put out through Virgin. Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice experienced joint success with their single "Princess Diana." That said, there has been nothing but tension between the two since. The fact that Minaj unfollowed Ice Spice on IG is further proof that things are not friendly between them. It's worth zooming out and looking at Nicki Minaj's record deal. The rapper signed to Young Money in 2009. Lil Wayne and Birdman were the figureheads of Young Money, but the label is part of Universal Music Group. Who owns UMG? Lucian Grainge. The same Lucian Grainge Kanye West ranted about when he was dissing Drake on the "Like That" remix. Nicki Minaj may be frustrated with the decisions that younger artists have made, but she's technically guilty of the same sin she's accusing them of.

John Cena Reveals Surprising Picks For Mount Rushmore Of Rappers

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 02:02 GMT

John Cena used to rap. It feels like a lifetime ago, and in some ways, it was. In the two decades since Cena dropped his debut album, he's become a household name and a bankable movie star. He doesn't need music to bolster his fame anymore. That said, he still has a love for the genre. John Cena recently went on the Club Shay Shay podcast, and was asked to break down his four favorite emcees. His Mount Rushmore. His answers were unexpected, but admittedly pretty airtight in terms of logic (no, Logic is not one of his picks). John Cena knew his answer would be controversial. He tried to get out in front of the inevitable pushback he'd get for excluding certain rappers. "Everyone has their bias," he noted. "I know the list is gonna incite riots, [but] we all have our bias, our favorites. That's what makes music special." Despite his reticence, John Cena took the bait. He told host Shannon Sharpe that New York artists made up the bulk of his Mount Rushmore: Nas, JAY-Z and Rakim. "But I was brought up in East Coast, boom bap," he explained. "I love wordplay, I love poetry. It's what I based my [WWE] character on."

Rushmore of Hip-hop: - Eminem - Jay-Z - Nas - Rakim pic.twitter.com/15KRRqyPS9 — The Eminem Bible (@Shadyind) August 21, 2024 John Cena's fourth choice? Eminem. The decision to show Slim Shady love should come as no surprise to longtime Cena fans. The wrestler-turned-actor has been an admirer of Em's since day one. He even tried to manifest a remix to his iconic theme song with the Detroit rapper. "He's one of the most gifted, prolific poets I've ever had the chance to listen to," John Cena told Esquire in 2022. "I think if you gave him this music.. I would like to think he would completely put me to shame by giving it his own Eminem touch." John Cena is obviously more famous as a wrestler than a rapper. That said, he claims the latter saved his wrestling career. During a 2023 appearance on the Whiskey Ginger podcast, Cena claimed that his raps actually kept him employed. He claimed that Stephanie McMahon, daughter of WWE executive chairman Vince McMahon, was impressed with Cena's rhymes and gave him more screen time as a result. "She was the head of the writing team," the wrestler recalled. "And she was like, 'Well, make something up about me right now.'" The rest, as they say, is history.

Method Man Claims He's Never Been Paid For Streaming Royalties

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 01:10 GMT

Method Man has got classics on deck. He's got solo hits, collab hits with Redman, and dozens of iconic songs with the Wu-Tang Clan. According to Spotify, he has over three million monthly listeners. And yet, he hasn't been paid a dime in streaming royalties. The rapper dropped a bombshell during his recent appearance on Hot 97. Method Man admitted that he was unsure of how the streaming infrastructure works, before noting that he's still waiting on money from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Method Man was asked about the prevalence of AI, and the rapper admitted he was hesitant to co-sign. He cited Drake's usage of AI to recreate Tupac's voice on "Taylor Made Freestyle." The rapper chose to shift the conversation to other aspects of the music industry, though. Aspects that have impacted huge names from the 1990s, in particular. "Honestly, I've never gotten a streaming check for any of my music," he told the host. "I'm still trying to figure it all out." This is not the first time Method Man has gone on the record to discuss his financial issues with the industry. Read More: Method Man Reveals His Problem With Rare Wu-Tang Clan Album Method Man Is Still Trying To Understand Streaming View this post on Instagram A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF (@thehiphopwolf) In 2018, the rapper addressed the long-standing financial situation in Wu-Tang Clan. The iconic group does not split things evenly between members. Instead, pay is broken down on a tier-basis, with some members earning more than others when it comes to albums and tours. Method Man talked about this system during an appearance on Howard Stern. "You can look at it as you have some individuals who make a certain amount as an individual," he explained. "But when they're with the group they're makin' three, four times the amount that they would make." Method Man has also attempted to rectify royalty situations on his own. In 2022, the rapper teamed up with Intercept Music to launch a platform that would protect independent artists. "Forging a powerful partnership with Method Man," wrote Intercept chairman Ralph Tashjian. "Intercept underscores the value and promise of artistic emancipation in today's creator economy." The goal of Intercept was to provide independent artists with monthly revenue payments, and Meth became the face of the whole operation. The company is still active today.

ASAP Rocky Reportedly Delays New Album "Don't Be Dumb" By A Month

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:05 GMT

We were so close. ASAP Rocky has been teasing the release of his fourth studio album since 2018. The traction that the album, titled Don't Be Dumb, gained in recent months, however, made it seem like it was finally coming to fruition. An August 30th release date was unveiled, and ASAP Rocky started doing the promo rounds. He even dropped a music video for his latest single, "HIGHJACK." Then, within hours of the video's release, the rug was pulled out. Don't Be Dumb is reportedly being delayed. Again. The delay was announced by the Twitter account Amk. The account posted a screenshot of a convo in which the release date of the Don't Be Dumb vinyls was confirmed to be September 30th. The account noted that September 30th has not been officially announced as ASAP Rocky's new release date, but it does look as though the rapper is going to push the album back once again. September 30th would be exactly one month removed from the original Don't Be Dumb release date.

It's unclear whether the Destroy Lonely release has anything to do with the alleged delay. ASAP Rocky talked about the recording process for Don't Be Dumb during a recent chat with Apple Music's Zane Lowe. He blamed internet leaks for the album's delays. "It's very important and special if it makes it on the album," he explained. "Most of the songs that I usually perform and sh*t like that, motherf*ckers leak it." ASAP Rocky claimed that none of the leaked songs made the final tracklist. "Once it's leaked, it's just like, ha, it's not on the project," he stated. "I might perform it here or there, but it's leaked. It is what it is... It's out already. A lot of these records didn't make it because they got leaked at some point." Hopefully the Harlem rapper is able to recover, and drop the album soon. The response to the rumored delay has not be positive, and given that fans have waited for five years, it's easy to see why.

Travis Scott Files Motion To Dismiss Trespassing Charge After Miami Arrest

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 23:34 GMT

In June, Travis Scott was arrested over a minor disagreement in Miami. Reportedly, he rented a yacht, and its owner stormed onboard at midnight telling him to leave. As a result, he told the man and his wife they were being disrespectful, and the situation escalated from there. Hours after his arrest, Scott was released and promptly got on a jet back to LA. He was charged with disorderly intoxication and trespassing. Earlier this month, his disorderly intoxication charge got dropped, though he was still on the hook for alleged trespassing. According to TMZ, however, his lawyer Bradford Cohen filed a motion yesterday to get that dismissed too. The motion claims that signs warning against trespassing were visible on the private property surrounding the Miami Beach Marina, where he was arrested. The marina itself didn't have any visible signs, according to the motion.

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) It's to be seen whether or not the motion will be granted. Scott's Miami arrest wasn't the only legal trouble he's run into as of late, however. He was also arrested in Paris this month after getting into a fight with his bodyguard. He was quickly released and faces no charges over the incident. On the bright side, Scott is also currently gearing up to drop his fan-favorite mixtape Days Before Rodeo on streaming services. Reportedly, it's scheduled to arrive on DSPs on August 23 in honor of the project's tenth anniversary. What do you think of Travis Scott's legal team filing a motion to dismiss his trespassing charge earlier this week? What about them arguing that signs weren't visible at the marina?

Punch Reveals Crucial Role In Making Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 22:51 GMT

Punch is a talented wordsmith in his own right. The man born Terrence Henderson is best known for running Top Dawg Entertainment alongside Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith. That said, Punch has dropped guest verses on Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul albums in the past. Punch reflected on his musical output via Instagram on August 21. He not only revealed that he was involved in the making of Lamar's seminal album To Pimp a Butterfly, but he was crucial in the resolution of its narrative concept. The way Punch tells it, the album would have been very different had he not been working alongside Dot. The closing track on To Pimp a Butterfly is "Mortal Man." Kendrick Lamar reads a poem to Tupac, referring to said poem as something a "good friend had wrote." Punch told Instagram followers that he was the "good friend in question." The poem he wrote effectively lays out the thesis and title of To Pimp a Butterfly, which is something he claims Lamar struggled with. "I remember K. Dot was feeling a bit lost in the concept," Punch recalled. "It happens sometimes when your in the thick of the battle. It's easy to kind of lose sight of the original purpose as new ideas and thought enter in." The TDE boss claims that Lamar asked him to write a poem that would help snap the narrative into place. He obliged. Read More: TDE's Punch Questions Elliott Wilson's Edit Of Kendrick Lamar's "Meet The Grahams" Punch Helped K. Dot Complete The Album's Concept View this post on Instagram A post shared by Punch (@iamstillpunch) "I thought about it and wrote some words and sent it to him," Punch added. "He said 'thanks' and we kept moving with business as usual." The TDE boss noted that weeks went by with no mention of the poem. It wasn't until Punch sat down to listen to "Mortal Man" that he discovered Lamar had used the poem as the album's capper. "I realized these were the words that I sent Dot months before! I had no idea he was using it for the album," he recalled. "Even when we played it back during the process he never played that section." Punch doesn't have a credit on "Mortal Man." However, he remains grateful to Lamar for involving him in such a notable piece of music. "This will always be a special moment for me," he concluded on his IG post. "Because of our connection and understanding and also being apart of that masterpiece in that way." It's difficult to imagine the end of "Mortal Man," and by extension, To Pimp a Butterfly, without Punch's poem serving as the cherry on top.

ASAP Rocky Drops One Of His Best Music Videos Yet With "HIGHJACK"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 21:52 GMT

ASAP Rocky's comeback season is upon us. Fans have been waiting since 2018 for new Rocky music, and the rapper is finally poised to deliver. Don't Be Dumb is slated for released on August 30. Now, we have a music video for ASAP Rocky's new single, "HIGHJACK." The song didn't scale the charts when it dropped on August 2. It was, however, proof that the Harlem rapper still had what it took to make a slick, cloudy bop. The music video for "HIGHJACK," which dropped August 21, enhances the song tenfold. It showcases ASAP Rocky in a mold that fans haven't gotten to see in over a decade. ASAP Rocky broke out with a singular, black-and-white aesthetic. ASAP Mob was dangerous when they first started out, but Rocky gave them a stylish flair. These strengths are on display in the "HIGHJACK" music video. It starts off minimally, but quickly descends into a beautiful, surreal collection of images. Rocky raps in different corners of the camera frame, while the perspective of the rooms around him shift. At one point, he's seen tossing bars off in a frame reminiscent of an M.C. Escher painting. It's all very trippy, which perfectly segues into the "HIGHJACK" chorus sung by Jessica Pratt.

While it's cool to see ASAP Rocky posted up in a series of black-and-white settings, the Jessica Pratt chorus unlocks a kaleidoscope of wild imagery. Members of the ASAP Mob seemingly celebrate in slow motion, while a camera pans through various tableaus of Rocky in different outfits. A pair of hands rock rings that have the album's title, Don't Be Dumb, written on them. A funhouse face rocks a silver grill in the background. Most curiously, a be-speckled Rocky gets up from a bed and puts on a suit. The music video culminates with two contrasting images. One of Rocky standing above a tall building, and other of the rapper facing the wall in a mysterious room. Neither narrative is resolved, which leads us to believe there will be more to come in future Don't Be Dumb music videos. "HIGHJACK" may not be a smash hit, but in drumming up interest for what Rocky has next, the song and video could not have done a better job.
