Month: April 2022

On April 29, Future released his newest body of work, I Never Liked You, his first album since Pluto x Baby Pluto (Deluxe) in November of 2020. It hasn’t been a week yet, but his sales projections are already in– and they’re huge.

According toHip Hop ‘N More, the 38-year-old’s album is expected to bring in a total of 175,000 to 200,000 units in its first seven days. This will make it the biggest debut of the year thus far across all genres. Of that six-figure number, 4,000 to 6,000 is expected to come from pure album sales.

The Atlanta, Georgia native teased his new project for the entire month of April by revealing features and tweeting about what was to come. On April 13, he revealed the release date, and on April 25, just four before he dropped, he posted the cover art along with the album title onto his Instagram.

The 16-track project included features from artists like Kodak Black, Drake, EST Gee, Kanye West, and others. According to the Apple Music charts, his songs “712,” “WAIT FOR U,” and “IM DAT N***A” seem to be doing the best as of now. His album also went #1 in 58 countries on the streaming platform.

Future Hendrix isn’t quite finished dropping, though. His close friend, Young Scooter, stated that there would be a deluxe of the album dropping on Monday. While Future hasn’t confirmed this, fans are crossing their fingers hoping to get more music from the rapper.

Bill Murray may be getting older, but that doesn’t mean he can’t learn new tricks – or correct the ones that aren’t working for him anymore. Earlier this month it was announced that production on Being Mortal (set to be Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut) has been put on hold following a “complaint.”

Eventually, it was revealed that the halt came to be because of alleged “inappropriate behaviour” on the Ghostbusters actor’s part, and in a recent catch-up with CNBC, Murray gave further insight into what happened behind the scenes.

“I did something I thought was funny and it wasn’t taken that way,” the 71-year-old explained, describing the incident as a “difference of opinion.” From the sounds of things, he and the other party involved are working to find common ground.

“As of now, we are talking and we are trying to make peace with each other,” he shared. “We are both professionals, we like each others’ work, we like each other I think, and if we can’t really get along and trust each other there’s no point in going further working together or making the movie as well.”

Murray added that the entire experience has been “quite an education” for him.

The Illinois-born entertainer assured listeners that he’ll only go forward with the project if the woman involved “is okay with it,” and that he is “trying to learn” from everything that’s unfolded.

“I think it’s a sad dog that can’t learn anymore,” Murray said. “That’s a really sad puppy that can’t learn anymore. I don’t want to be that sad dog and I have no intention of it.”

“What would make me the happiest would be to put my boots on and for both of us to go back into work and be able to trust each other and work at the work that we’ve both spent a lot of time developing the skill of,” he concluded – check back in with HNHH later for any updates on the status of Being Mortal‘s production.

Young Thug is arguably one of the most influential rappers from Atlanta. The Punk artist has been in the game for over a decade and still has the industry on lock.

While he’s usually trending for his music releases or fashion statements, the 30-year-old is currently grabbing the media’s attention because of his recent video. While sitting in the studio, Thug– whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams– began giving his opinion on poor people who choose to become parents.

“God needs to set some rules,” he said into the camera, “We need new rules. We need a new oath.” He went on to elaborate on how men with no money should not be able to ejaculate. “You’re bringing poor kids into this world f*ck n*gga. You’re making n*ggas rob, and kill, and steal because you’re running around with no type of career, no nothing.”

He also spoke about it from a child’s perspective. “Now your kids growing up wanting sh*t. Your kids growing up looking at Thug and his gang.”

This wouldn’t be the first time the artist has expressed his feelings about low-income parents. Back in 2015, he took to Twitter in an effort to get custody of his children. In one of those tweets, he wrote, “I just wanna no y should a peasant with no job, or future, or apartment/house/condo have custody of a rich mans child!! I’m lost …”

That wasn’t the only topic he chose to discuss, though. In another video in the same setting, he is seen speaking about women who ask for too much but have little to offer. “When you ain’t got nothing,” started Young Thug, “don’t work for nothing, don’t have a future… you’ve got to adjust to whatever a n*gga do for you.” He also stated, “You can’t want top-tier situations and you’re the bottom of the barrel.”

It’s been nearly a week since Megan Thee Stallion gave her first TV interview regarding her 2020 shooting incident with Tory Lanez. While chatting with Gayle King, the “Cash Shit” rapper told her side of the story, and although she’s since been hit with criticism from some, she’s not letting that stop her from speaking her truth.

“So a man can shoot me, chop up horse legs in music videos to taunt me, pay blogs to spread false information from what’s happening in court, record studio albums and make diss tracks… But when I talk to Gayle King that’s the last straw… F*CK Y’ALL,” she wrote (and later deleted) on April 25th.

Unfortunately, the situation between Lanez and Megan Pete has had the hip-hop community divided for some time now, but as Ebro pointed out in a recent episode of Rap Life Review, “there’s also a world where we can be sad for Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion.”

Instead of being divided by the ongoing legal battle, the Hot 97 radio personality believes now is a better time than ever to flex our empathy muscles. As XXL Mag reports, co-host Low Key questioned Ebro’s logic, but he explained how he can have sympathy for the Canadian artist.

“He did something ridiculous and despicable and we all know that he feels like shit about,” Ebro shared, prompting Low Key to question if Lanez was really sympathetic. “He was apologetic to her,” E responded.

“In public, he was doing something else. But the reason I say that is, I don’t want to see another Black man go to jail. That’s not what I want to see. That’s part one. Part two, I also believe he was highly intoxicated, right? And was being completely ridiculous…”

“Her version of him standing up shooting talking about, ‘Dance, bitch, dance,’ that sounds insane. You are not in your right mind. That sounds like you was off… I don’t know what you was off. The purest. He sounds like he was off the full Pusha T album. He shoved it up his nose.”

Ebro then pointed out that it’s possible to feel sad for Tory, and still be “sad for Megan that she had to experience this and go through this. It doesn’t have to be picking sides,” he concluded – check out the full episode of Rap Life Review on Apple Music below.
