YungManny, YK Osiris, & Loui Deliver Dope Vibes On “Her Peace”

by

YungManny knows how to craft some catchy songs that are filled with summer vibes. Now that we are finally in August, there is only a small amount of time before these summer-type tracks go by the wayside. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that YungManny has taken advantage of the time we have left with a brand new summer-ready song called “Her Peace” which features the likes of YK Osiris and Loui.

This song is filled with melodies as all three artists float on top of the bubbly production. Throughout the track, YungManny, Osiris, and Loui all sing about their girls and how they want to give them the world. It’s a very positive track that will immediately put you in a good mood as you soak up some sunshine.

You can stream the new song, down below.

Quotable Lyrics:

She call me her peace
I’m that n***a she call when she want to take a flight
Chanel on her suit drip her neck down in ice
Shawty fuck wit you but I’m the one she really like

The Kid LAROI’s “F*CK LOVE” Hits No. 1 A Year After Its Debut

by

A year after it first debuted, The Kid LAROI’s F*CK LOVE debut shoots from No. 26 on the Billboard 200 chart to No. 1 for its first week at the top slot. The surge follows up on several reissues, including the most recent F*CK LOVE 3+: OVER YOU.

In its 53rd week on the chart, the set earns 85,000 equivalent album units for the week ending July 29 with a 409% increase. The original 15-track album arrived on July 24, 2020, debuting at No. 8. In November of last year, the project added seven more cuts for F*CK LOVE (SAVAGE) and rebounded to No. 3 on the chart. It then released a third time on July 27, adding a total of 14 more tracks, including the Justin Bieber-assisted hit “Stay,” which currently occupies the top five on the Hot 100.

F*CK LOVE now becomes the first album to hit No. 1 more than a year after its debut since Prince’s The Very Best Of Prince hit No. 1 more than 15 years after its release in May of 2016 shortly after the singer’s death.

Elsewhere on the chart, Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour album rises to No. 2 with 69,000 equivalent albums units while Doja Cat’s Planet Her occupies No. 3 with 57,000 units. Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album is seated at No. 4 as Pop Smoke’s Faith rounds out the Top 5, dropping from the lead spot with 38,000 units this week.

The second half of the Top 10 is greeted by Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s Voice of the Heroes with 32,000 units while EST Gee celebrates his first Top 10 album as Bigger Than Life Or Death soars from No. 65 to No. 7 in its second week on the chart. The jump is related to the fact that it was released on a Wednesday, debuting with only two days of tracking in its first week.

Polo G’s Hall of Fame can be found at No. 8 with 29,000 units while Taylor Swift’s Folklore project occupies No. 9 following a vinyl reissue. Closing things out this week is Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia.

Chip Shortage Caused By Pandemic Will Make PS5 & Xbox Series X Hard To Buy Until 2023

by

Remember last holiday season when everyone said, “Just wait to buy an XBox Series X, they’ll be back in stock soon.” Well, those people were hilariously wrong. Those who spent maybe an extra $100-$200 dollars on a PS5 or XBox Series X last year were blessed compared to what the market looks like now. If you were in hope that things would get better soon, tough luck. It appears things will stay the same for another year or two at the least. 

During a Q2 earnings call earlier this week, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said that because the pandemic made staying at home more worldwide, gaming has also taken a leap in demand. He believes the semiconductor supply chain will take a couple of years to catch up with demand. “While I expect the shortage to bottom out in the second half, it will take another one to two years before the industry is able to completely catch up with demand,” Gelsinger stated. “With major fab construction projects underway in Oregon, Arizona, Ireland, and Israel, we are investing for the future, but we are also taking action today to find innovative ways to help mitigate industry constraints.”

The semiconductor shortage has been the main reason why getting a Nintendo Switch, PS5, and XBox Series X|S has been near impossible for consumers. Nvidia also said the shortage will slow GPU production until the end of the year. It looks like it’s going to be another rough Christmas for kids.

42 Dugg Issues An Apology For His Homophobic Rant

by

On Friday, 42 Dugg shared what he felt was an affectionate video featuring him and his son. In it, the rapper can be seen kissing and licking his son around the neck and shoulder area, an act that many deemed inappropriate for the child. He later caught wind of the negative reaction and slammed critics with a homophobic response.

“Quit tryna shove that sh*t down n****s throats,” he wrote. “Ah gay n**** ah be on national tv tonguing down another h*e ass n****, but that’s ok though. Y’all or no motherfucker on earth ain’t finna make me like sh*t ion like and if y’all don’t like me f*ck y’all get wit me. Keep my son out y’all mouth flat out.”

A day after he posted this response, 42 Dugg returned with an apology for the insensitive statement.

It never be my intentions to offend anybody even when I’m offended so for that I am sorry. Usually I’m a very private person when it come to personal sh*t such as my son or my family in general people always tell me I need to take more pictures or you know let my fans see something about me other than music. Yesterday I called myself doing that. My son birthday was the weekend so I decided I would let y’all see how much fun we had. You know the picture/videos I posted of my son wasn’t put out for feedback. That was us being us. So for y’all to take that and make it what y’all did just reminded me of why I keep my family private. I will not be showing my son or any of my family on this s*it again. Y’all lost that privilege. This is for me to promote my music and that’s what I’m gone use it for. Nothing more nothing less.

On the music side of things, you can revisit the rapper’s recent videos for “Turnest N**** In The City” and “Maybach.”

42 Dugg is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Ariana Grande Will Be The Latest Star To Host A Concert In ‘Fortnite’

by

As we continue moving into the digital age, we’re seeing stars across the world get more creative in bringing fans to them, especially in music. It used to be that the only way to check out your favorites was to go to a concert, a music festival, or maybe a meet and greet of some kind. Now we’re seeing some of these same events stretch out to a wider audience through the connectivity of online platforms, and particularly gaming.

One of the more unique ways we’ve seen this happening is in Fortnite. The battle royale may be most well known for all the dance trends it spawns, but it’s also hosted a lot of crossovers with real life stars such as Travis Scott and LeBron James.

Joining the trend of celebrities making their appearance in Fortnite will be pop star Ariana Grande. The former child actor turned pop singer, will be a part of Fortnite’s “Rift Tour” where she’ll put on virtual concerts for anyone that attends the in-game events. Of course, because this is Fortnite, there will also be quests to complete and Ariana Grande themed loot to collect throughout the Rift Tour.

Among the items that players can earn while playing Fortnite during this event is a Cuddly Cloudcruiser umbrella that players will be able to glide in with after dropping. The event begins Friday, August 6, and will take place throughout the weekend. The final showing will be on August 8, Sunday, at 6 p.m. ET.

Ensuring that fans around the world can catch the Rift Tour, the experience spans five showtimes over three days. We recommend fans arrive in Fortnite 60 minutes before showtime, and the Rift Tour Playlist should be live 30 minutes before each show. Before Ariana’s arrival, the Rift Tour kicks off with Fortnite-themed experiences — pairing popular tracks with moments based on elements from the game.

This might seem weird to some, but these events have been wildly successful in the past. During Travis Scott’s virtual concert he managed to break Fortnite’s concurrent players record with over 12 million all playing at once. Considering the extreme popularity of Ariana Grande, and that FFortnite is a free game, there’s a pretty solid chance that this concert is going to break a few records of its own.

by

Saturday, 19-year-old Anthony Barajas died after being shot during a screening of The Forever Purge film at a California movie theater. Barajas was attending the film with 18-year-old Rylee Goodrich when they were both shot in the head at a movie theater in Corona, Ca.

It was when the film ended that theater employees found aBrajas and Goodrich with gunshot wounds. While Goodrich was pronounced dead at the scene, Barajas was rushed to a hospital and placed on life support. Authorities say he succumbed to his injuries on Saturday.

On Twitter, a friend shared that the well-known TikTok star with nearly one million followers on the platform was “wheeled down an ‘honor walk’ where he would ultimately donate his organs so others may live.”

“I want to thank everyone who lifted Anthony in prayer,” said Malik Earnest in a post. “The injuries to his brain were irreparable.”

According to Corona police Cpl. Tobias Kouroubacalis, the suspect, 20-year-old Joseph Jimenez, acted alone without any indication that he knew either victim.

“It was completely unprovoked and the victims were shot without any kind of prior contact,” Kouroubacalis said.

On Friday, Jimenez appeared in court after being charged with murder for Goodrich’s death and attempted murder in Barajas’ case.
Police are now working with Riverside county prosecutors to bring about a second murder count against Jimenez.

Stephen A. Smith Links Damian Lillard To The New York Knicks

by

There has been a lot of drama surrounding Damian Lillard and his desire to play for the Portland Trail Blazers. Rumors have circulated that he wants out and has even requested a trade. Lillard himself has denied all of these reports although that hasn’t stopped reporters from theorizing about where he could possibly go if the Blazers do end up trading him elsewhere.

Stephen A. Smith has been particularly invested in this story, and rightfully so. Lillard is a heavily talked about player on First Take and if Lillard gets traded, it’s a story that will bring in a ton of ratings to the show.

Over the weekend, Smith was on Sirius XM Radio where he spoke about a potential Lillard trade and where he would want to go. As Smith explained, he believes that Lillard would probably go to the Knicks if he had his choice. In fact, Smith even believes that Lillard could recruit players like Joel Embiid and Jayson Tatum.

“If [Damian Lillard] were to get traded from Portland, New York Knicks would be his number one destination,” Smith said matter of factly.

There is still a lot that can happen between now and next season, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will keep you updated on everything happening around the NBA.
