Doe Boy & Rowdy Rebel Hit The Streets In The “Shmurda Talk” Visual

by

Rowdy Rebel returned home from his stint in prison at the tail-end of last year. Ever since his return, however, it seems like he’s been spending time making up for his missed time within the game. His first comeback single was “Re-route” with Funkmaster Flex and he followed up with collaborations with Nav and A Boogie wit da Hoodie. 

In his latest offering post-release, he connects with Freebandz member Doe Boy for the “Shmurda Talk” music video. The visual arrives ahead of the FBG member’s major Drake single rollout he’s been flexing on Instagram. The producer-rapper joins Rowdy on the Too Dope produced-cut “Shmurda Talk” as they exchange bars about street life. Doe Boy’s signature adlib can be heard in the first few seconds of the track before they begin rapping. 

In the visual for the song, the pair hit the streets of New York City to mock “pig-like” officers and flex wads of cash while at a block party. Doe Boy released his latest album Demons R Us in late 2020. Produced entirely by popular Atlanta producer Southside, the Ohio native tapped on the likes of Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Chief Keef, and more to appear on the effort.    

A new Rowdy Rebel project is also expected to arrive sometime this year. In the meantime, check out the street-centric video for “Shmurda Talk” above and let us know what you think down in the comments. 

YG & Mozzy Remind You That Gang Life Is ‘Dangerous’ With G Herbo

by

While rap songs and videos can have the unintended side effect of making gang life look cooler than it is, YG & Mozzy are here to remind you that it’s still quite “Dangerous” in the latest video from their recently released joint album Kommunity Service. The first verse finds the California natives trading quick-witted quatrains upbraiding posers who claim affiliation without the muscle to back it up, while G Herbo brings the song home with his own chest-beating feature to close things out.

The stripped-down video keeps to the established aesthetic from their “Bompton To Oak Park” clip, with a legion of goons mean-mugging the camera to underline the street-loyal lyrics, shot through a perspective warping fish-eye lens. The duo has shown an impressive degree of flexibility with the album rollout so far, as well; while thoroughly praising their expected “Gangsta” credentials in these videos, they’ve alternated them with more positive messaging in the semi-romantic clip for “Perfect Timing.” Album cuts like “Vibe With You” have also offset the menace, because you can’t always be in war mode.

Meanwhile, the duo’s members have done their fair share of good work in the world, too. YG recently gave away $20,000 worth of sneakers to former inmates to ensure that the project’s title wasn’t just figurative.

Young Nudy’s ‘EA’ Caused A Floor To Collapse At An Airbnb House Party

by

A group of recent college graduates owes a sizable sum to the owner of the Airbnb where they threw their graduation party after their exuberant dancing caused the floor to cave in, resulting in $15,000 worth of damages. The musical culprit that caused the overly enthusiastic reaction? Atlanta’s own Young Nudy, whose 2017 song “EA” featuring cousin 21 Savage is playing the clip that captured the heart-stopping scene, which the party’s organizer posted to Twitter along with the link to a GoFundMe raising funds to pay off the damages.

“We threw the littest graduation party of 2021 at a AirBnB and the floor caved in,” reads the explanation for the clip. “We was listening to EA by Young Nudy and n****s got too lit. Now I have to pay for 15k in damages.” You can see the results in the videos below.

According to the poster, the party was approved by the home’s owner and was upstairs the whole time. He also requested that followers “spam” the rapper to let him “kno what his music doin to people.”

Incidentally, this isn’t the first time a street rapper’s music prompted partygoers to collapse a floor. In 2018, a group of Clemson college students attending a fraternity party and dancing to Chief Keef’s “Faneto” also broke through a floor leaving 30 people injured.

DaBaby Reportedly Detained After Miami Beach Shooting

by

According to a pair of reports from Local 10 News and Page Six, DaBaby and several others have been detained following a shooting last night — Monday, May 31st — at South Beach in Miami.

The street shootout left two injured, with one having been shot in the leg and another in the shoulder. Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez confirmed that one victim has been released from the hospital while the other remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Page Six’s sources state that DaBaby and his entourage were traveling in a group of six SUVs, only to take issue with a group of people driving beside them. Apparently, words were exchanged and a fight swiftly broke out, ultimately leading to the shooting taking place. Witnesses quickly called 911 upon hearing the distinctive sound of gunfire, which occurred at around 11:30 PM. Immediately after the gunfire ceased, police were able to take several men into custody. 

Rodriguez has confirmed that DaBaby is among the “several possible subjects” detained, with Page Six claiming that between ten to twelve members of the rapper’s entourage have also been taken into police custody. At this moment DaBaby’s team has yet to acknowledge the rapper’s possible involvement, nor has his label Interscope Records. 

This is not the first time that DaBaby has previously faced legal trouble. On Christmas Eve of 2019, DaBaby was taken into police custody for allegedly resisting arrest, an encounter he secretly filmed; he later put the police on blast, deeming the arrest “sloppy” and maintaining his innocence throughout the process. Shortly afterward in January of 2020, DaBaby was arrested in Beverly Hills after police found a handgun in his car.

Be sure to stay tuned for future updates on this situation as it develops.

Tristan Thompson’s Alleged BM Admits To Lying About Khloe Kardashian DM

by

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s romance has not been completely smooth sailing. After the viral Jordyn Woods cheating scandal that ended their relationship the first time, many were shocked to see the couple rekindle their love after quarantining together with their daughter True. 

Since getting back together, however, numerous women have come forward with accusations that Thompson had committed infidelity again. He’s currently readying a libel lawsuit against a woman who claims to have slept with the NBA star, all while another woman known as Kim Cakery has accused him of being the father of her young son. Thompson has denied the accusations, although noting that he has had relations with her in the past.

Earlier this week, Cakery was exposed for manufacturing a screenshot of a direct message from Khloe Kardashian allegedly confronting her about allegations reading “Listen at this point I really wa.” In the caption, Cakery wrote, “Sister wife now that ur exposed??… I’m not the one so let’s be nice.” In a new post to her story, she’s admitted to faking the DMs from Kardashian while adding she intends to keep “trolling” the situation. 

“The post that I made yesterday was fake and I apologize for going about it the way I did,” she penned. “But I am genuinely fed up with the bogus energy and her acting like she never sees me asking for a second test. The first test was done at a Kardashian affiliated facility and you expect me to believe that the inhome test he took was accurate??”

She continued, “especially one associated with a family known for scandals and sweeping things under the rug my son isn’t something you can sweep under the rug KHLOE. You may have made it possible for his other son Prince but it won’t be happening in this case Tristan Thompson is a scum bag womanizer which everyone knows.”

“I am 100% sure he is the father of my son what is a mother supposed to do after a year of no answers no response. One in home test has been done and u think it’s the end no way! In home tests are the easiest to be falsified all I’m asking for is the second test from MY CHOICE of DNA facility. I’ve been contacting her for over a year no response the one time she has to “prove me wrong…”

She finally finished, “She tries to act like she’s not involved but she definitely was on that cease and desist tho.” She added in a second story post that she intends to continue trolling the situation “cause that whole family bogus.” While she admitted to faking the DMs, it seems she’s persistent on Thompson submitting to another DNA test.

YG & Mozzy Lock In With G Herbo For “Dangerous” Music Video

by

YG and Mozzy may have not been an expected collaborative project but it has produced one of the best gangsta rap releases of the year. Kommunity Service extends Mozzy’s winning streak while offering one of the rawest performances from YG since his sophomore album.

As the two rappers continue to push the project, with a tour hopefully on the way later this year, they’re back with a brand new set of visuals off of the project. This time, it’s for the G Herbo-assisted banger, “Dangerous.” The three rappers bring their respective affiliates to a raw warehouse space where they perform their verses. The video was directed by Mikey Rare who has previously worked alongside artists like Blueface, Jackboy, and Mozzy in the past.

Bartender Alleges Kanye West Tipped Her $15K & Spoke About His Beliefs For 4 Hours

by

A woman on TikTok is claiming that Kanye West visited the strip club she works at and stayed for about four hours, but his visit was unlike many other famous rappers that book tables at the club. According to the bartender, the 2020 Presidential candidate didn’t order any alcoholic beverages and wasn’t interested in booking any private time with the dancers– instead, he allegedly stayed at the bar, sipped water with ice, and spoke about how he believes he’s a “true descendant” of his creator.

While completing her make-up routine on camera, the Downtown Los Angeles-based bartender told a story about the time Kanye West allegedly went to the club, claiming that he was the biggest celebrity she had seen in the spot. “My club gets a lot of rappers, athletes, people that just want to show up and show out and do things for Instagram but not Kanye. It was completely different,” said @AnessaRossii.

Anessa said that Kanye didn’t want to book a table or watch the girls dance– he allegedly walked right up to the bar and struck a conversation with the mixologist. “He didn’t order anything to drink, he just got water on the rocks and proceeded to tell me all of his beliefs, where we descended from, and how he believed that a true descendant of his creator,” she said. “His conversation went on with me for about three or four hours and he told me at the end of the night, thank you for my time, gave me $15,000 and said he felt he was called to do this and left. That’s the last time I’ve ever seen him.”

In the caption, Anessa says this happened a few years ago. Watch the video below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

China To Allow Three Children Per Couple To Cope With Aging Society

by

After over four decades of having a two-child per couple birthing limit, the Communist Party of China (CPC) is easing up on the restrictions. According to state-run news agency Xinhua News Agency, on Monday (May 31st), a meeting with the CPC leadership, including President Xi Jinping, was held to discuss  “measures to actively address the aging of the population” over the next five years. 

Married couples will not be able to have up to three children with government support provided, reversing the previous two-limit policy. The announcement follows one over five years ago allowing couples to have two children after the nation ended its longstanding one-child policy. Birth limits were introduced in China in the 80s in order to limit population growth.

“Implementing the policy and relevant supporting measures will help improve China’s population structure, actively respond to the aging population, and preserve the country’s human resource advantages,” the news agency’s report explained.

A census released earlier this month confirmed that despite the eased birthing restrictions, only 12 million babies were born in the country last year. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, this marked the fourth year in a row the country had a falling birth rate.

“Evidence in other countries suggests that, once [the] birthrate is on a downward trend, it is difficult to … reverse it,” Zhang Zhiwei, chief economist at Chinese hedgefund Pinpoint Asset Management explained to the outlet. 

During the meeting on Monday, CPC leaders also discussed increasing the retirement age to allow for continued health services and pensions. China currently boasts one of the lowest retirement ages in the world–60 for most men and 50 for most women.

Right now, there’s no word on when these policies are set to go into effect.

Teen Saves Dogs By Fighting Off Bear, Spurring Mystikal References Across Twitter

by

17-year-old California resident Haley went viral on Monday after a TikTok was shared of her incredibly brave attempt at protecting her dogs from a prying bear. Haley explained that the dogs had begun barking incessantly at the bear, and when Haley stepped out to stop them, she found the bear grabbing one of the dogs. The teen rushed over to the scene, pushed the bear off of a fence and off of her property, and promptly ran inside while collecting her dogs.

The internet has been going crazy over the courageous 17-year-old with tons of social media support. The original TikTok, posted by Haley’s cousin, boasts over 15 million views and has prompted her to make a follow-up video explaining the situation in-depth.

Haley stated that bear visits in her California neighborhood this time of the year are fairly common, she only became alarmed when her dogs wouldn’t stop barking: “I go over to the bear, I look it in the eyes and the first thing I think to do is push it. Push a bear, push an apex predator. To be honest, I don’t think I pushed her that hard. I just pushed her enough to make her lose her balance, so she dropped my dog and I ran out of there.” Haley escaped unscathed besides a sprained finger and a scrape on her leg.

WATCH: Mystikal’s “On da Spot” freestyle

Along with the normal social media buzz, the incident has caused users to remember rapper Mystikal’s legendary “On da Spot” freestyle. In the freestyle on Hip Hop Nation (above), Mystikal spits “If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a Grizzly Bear, help the bear!”

Twitter users are having a field day by pairing the line with the video of the teenager fighting the bear.

Check out the original videos, including Haley’s explainer, and some of the reaction tweets below.
