Chrisean Rock Says Her First Word Was “Hallelujah,” Shares New Gospel Song

by

Even our earliest memories stick with us all the way to adulthood, and sometimes they can result in some streams. Chrisean Rock teased a new gospel song called “Hallelujah” via Instagram and said that it was her first word. In the short clip, she sang along to the song’s lyrics and jumped up in excitement. Also, some trap drums come in later that makes it sound like a potentially hip-hop based cut. Whatever the case, Blueface’s lady was excited in the comments to share the track.

“Fun fact : my first word was hallelujah n made a gospel song called hallelujah,” she wrote. “In Jesus name this year 2023 with be nothing but abundance and more Love MORE LIFE Amen.”

In addition, there was another clip shared from her TikTok where her love of gospel comes through clearly. Moreover, she was chilling with her boo Blueface as they listened to a gospel song together. In the video, the California rapper is sitting down drinking, throwing up a few sets as the song plays. Meanwhile, Chrisean is dancing and singing along to the song, occasionally going in for a hug with her man.

However, Chrisean jokingly tried to stop Blueface from signing during the song. Even with all the years passed, there’s still that gut reaction, but it was a sweet moment. Still, it hasn’t been all peaches and cream for the two. In recent clips from their Crazy In Love reality show, they bickered over their relationship, with Chrisean saying it’s forced.

“I need space from this, like, forced-ass relationship,” she said. “Like, I don’t know if it’s a business-ship or a relationship. Is he with me because there’s opportunity in it, or [does] he really just want to be with me?”

While their relationship has been notoriously rocky, that clash unfortunately transcended beyond the couple’s boundaries. Blueface’s mom and Chrisean are notoriously at odds, especially after recent social media jabs.

What did you think of the clip of Chrisean’s new song “Hallelujah” and it being her first word? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in hip-hop relationships and upcoming music.

Among many favoured New Year’s traditions that have arisen in recent years comes Uncle Murda’s annual “Rap Up” track. This year, the 42-year-old didn’t hold back at all while recounting the wild events of 2022.

“They let Gunna go, we tryna figure out how that happened / He took a plea deal, Lil Boosie said that n*gga ratting,” his bars go on.

Others who face heat from Uncle Murda include Thee Stallion, Will Smith, Yung Miami, Diddy, as well as Freddie Gibbs. Elsewhere on the song, he also addresses the deaths of Takeoff, PnB Rock, and DJ Kay Slay.

The Adidas deal that made him a billionaire got deaded
Now he only worth ’bout four, five hundred M’s
He lost his momma, Pete Davidson started fucking Kim
He be dressing dusty now, he don’t even look rich
Been looking stressed since that white boy took his bitch

Rae Sremmurd Performed ‘Torpedo’ On ‘Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party,’ Amplifying ‘Sremm4Life’ Watch

by

Rae Sremmurd dropped the video for “Torpedo” on Friday, December 30. It’s the latest single, following “Denial” and “Community D*ck” featuring Flo Milli, to amplify buzz that SREMM4LIFE is coming sooner than later. The buzz only got louder when Rae Sremmurd performed “Torpedo” on Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party last night, December 31. The NBC special aired live from Miami.

The two-hour show opened with Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton, her co-host and godmother, singing “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll” in matching leopard-print outfits. Up next: Rae Sremmurd, who started a medley with their 2016 No. 1 song “Black Beatles” before hitting “Torpedo.” They finished by venturing into the crowd for “No Type.”

Later in the show, Swae Lee returned to the stage for a “Party Up The Street” duet with Cyrus. Swae Lee, Cyrus and Mike Will Made-It, who co-produced with Andrew Watt, dropped the vibe-inducing song as part of Cyrus’ 2019 six-track EP She Is Coming.

In January 2022, Cyrus posted photos from the studio with Rae Sremmurd, Mike Will Made-It, and others. Andrew Watt, meanwhile, shared all the way back in June 2021 that he was planning on working on another album with Cyrus. Watt told Guitar World that the album was “still in the planning stages,” but it appears we’re close to Cyrus’ Plastic Hearts followup.

Cyrus confirmed during Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party and across her social media platforms that a new single, “Flowers,” is arriving on January 13, which may or may not purposely be on Liam Hemsworth’s birthday. Either way, we’re here for it.

Kelsey Harris’s Injuries After Tory Lanez Shooting Shown In New Photos

by

Following a guilty verdict in the Tory Lanez trial, social media flooded with conversations surrounding new evidence and recordings. While many have questioned the morality behind such an interest, the high-profile case became more important with each passing week. Furthermore, photos surfaced online of injuries of Megan Thee Stallion’s ex best friend, Kelsey Harris.

Moreover, the pictures show injuries on her legs and hands, plus patches of what seems to be pulled-out hair, allegedly from the night of the shooting. While it may seem uncomfortable, in the comments section, many welcomed the new evidence. “Show me every bit of evidence they have,” one user wrote. “I want to see it all ! Thankyaverymuch.”

However, some were less eager. “Who is feeding Niq this information?” another commenter posted, referring to the source of the pictures. “Or is it all public record?” Even with some users wanting to move on, there is clearly a lot left to discuss and take into account with this case.

Also, Harris played a pivotal role in Lanez’s guilty verdict according to reporters and court officials. A leaked apology call from the Canadian artist to Kelsey showed his acknowledgement of what went down.

“I would never do some s**t like that, bruh. It’s just that a n***a was so f**king drunk. I just didn’t even understand what the f**k was going on, bruh,” he said. “Regardless, that’s not gonna make anything right, and that’s not gonna make my actions right, bro. I’m just deeply sorry for that. I never even moved like that, bruh. Never moved like that at all, bruh. Like for real, for real, dawg.”

“I feel crazy, fam,” he continued. “What happened, happened already, bruh. I can’t take it back, bruh. I’m just telling y’all I’m sorry, bruh. I think we was just too drunk, bruh. When I got to the house, off-top n***as had gave me like five shots. Like off the door, you feel me? I was outta there.”

Still, what do you think of the new developments in the case of Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates on this story.

Luka Doncic & Giannis Antetokounmpo To Face Off In International Game For First Time

by

Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo continue to be two of the most elite players in the NBA. So far this season, the Greek Power Forward is averaging 32 points and nearly 12 rebounds per game. Comparatively, Doncic is averaging 34 points, to go along with his nearly nine rebounds and assists per game.

On Sunday (January 1), the Greek Basketball Federation announced that the two will face off in a friendly game. The game is set to be in Athens, Greece on August 4. The match will be between the two stars’ home countries – Greece vs. Slovenia.

The 2023 FIBA World Cup is taking place from August 25-September 10. The game between their countries will serve as a preparation game for the event. The tournament is expecting both players to play for their home countries, making this the first time the two will play each other in an international game.

Doncic is fresh off of his historic night last week, dropping an insane stat line. On Tuesday (December 27), he dropped 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists in the Mavericks’ 126-121 win over the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old is the first player in NBA history to end a game with this stat line.

Both players did play in the 2022 FIBA EuroBasket last year. However, Germany is responsible for eliminating Greece, while Poland eliminated Slovenia. Both took place in the quarterfinals. Although it’s just a friendly match, it will certainly be entertaining to watch these two All-Stars square off in new territory.

Andy Cohen Suggested Nick Cannon Get A Vasectomy After Welcoming His 12th Child

Andy Cohen confirmed to Page Six that he and co-host Anderson Cooper wouldn’t drink during CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, much to viewers’ dismay and Ryan Seacrest’s delight. But Cohen didn’t need liquid courage to ask Nick Cannon the most obvious question(s) after Cannon welcomed Halo Marie Cannon earlier this month, his 12th child and second with Alyssa Scott.

“Nick, I mean, you are singlehandedly repopulating the Earth. I give it up to you, man. What is your plan here? What is your endgame with the kids? You just want to keep going, or is there a number? Do you want to hit 20? Where are we going with this?” Cohen asked.

After shrugging and laughing it off, Cannon responded, “Andy, clearly I don’t have a plan. Honestly, man, it’s just so much joy and elation to have the family that I have. I embrace it, and I love it, but I don’t have a plan. That should’ve been clear from the jump.”

Cannon jokingly bucked against Cohen’s suggestion to get a vasectomy — “my body, my choice” — and gave advice to other fathers: “Just operate out of love. Some people may say that’s what got us here in the first place, but that’s what I would always do, and always do it with a smile.” Cannon has been a good sport about all of the jokes about his proficiency in fatherhood, even making a video about the stress of buying so many Christmas gifts.

To start the remote interview — Cannon videoed in from the Bahamas — Cohen also asked Cannon about his recent hospitalization for pneumonia. “I’m doing a lot better,” Cannon said. “With my condition in lupus and everything, it takes longer to get better than normal, but I’m surrounded by … energy here in paradise and bringing in the new year the right way. So, I feel amazing right now.”

North And Chicago West Twin In New TikTok, Kim K Explains Her Kid’s Social Media Rules

by

As the eldest of the Kardashian-West children, North has spent more time in the spotlight than any of her siblings. Her earliest years were documented on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Now, the world has been watching the young girl grow up via her joint TikTok account with her mom.

In the past, the 9-year-old’s social media use has been a source of contention between her parents. The reality starlet encourages her daughter to have fun and express herself in creative and silly online videos. At the same time, Ye has been more focused on protecting his children’s privacy and innocence.

During a recent appearance on The goop Podcast, Kim and Gwyneth Paltrow had a candid conversation about navigating the online space as a parent. “[TikTok] can only be on my own phone,” the mother of four told the actress of her rules with her kids.

“It’s not something where she can scroll and look at things,” Kardashian went on. “We don’t do comments. She loves to do it and it makes her so happy. She’s so innocent in so many ways,” she additionally noted.

While the blocked comment section leaves some TikTok users disappointed, North’s content has been undeniably impactful over the past few months – especially when one is in need of a quick laugh or a feel-good moment.

In one of her recent videos, the internet sensation turned her little sister, Chicago West, into her mini-me.

Following suit of those who have been participating in the “turning my mom into me” challenge on the app, North put her own spin on it by styling her sibling as her.

Initially, we see the 4-year-old sporting a Batgirl costume and checkered Vans. When she returns, however, she looks just like big sis, rocking a black graphic tee, printed shorts, and rectangular sunglasses.

Check out the wholesome video for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Happy Birthday To Hip Hop Pioneer Grandmaster Flash!

by
Screen Shot 2023 01 01 at 11.59.31 AM

On this date in 1958, a man who will forever reform the stance of the turntable was born; Joseph Saddler best known as Grandmaster Flash.

Amidst the infancy of hip-hop culture, Grandmaster Flash dominated the disc jockey scene of the North Bronx as he once was the DJ for big-time house rockers Kurtis Blow and Lovebug Starski in the mid-70s. Flash’s DJ sets became notorious for shaking crowds and it was evident he was influenced by preceding disco DJs in the likes of Grandmaster Flowers and Pete DJ Jones. Not only was Flash intrigued by the identity of the disc jockey through New York City disco DJ legends, but also, by the “hip-hopper” house rockers of his time, who reigned the opposing regions of the boogie down, DJ Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa.

The DJ is the first star to brew out of hip-hop culture. With knowledge of the crowd’s desire to get down to the drum break known in hip-hop culture as the break beat (A type of instrumental that extends the dance part of the record), Saddler’s innovative nature caused him to develop a strategy that would deem his influence on the genre, unmatched and unquestioned, the quick-mix theory. The quick-mix theory was Flash’s way of endlessly playing the drum break, by using two turntables and two copies of the same record, playing the break on one record while setting the destined part on the other, and with use of a mixer, he switched to the other turntable, giving birth to an easier way to extend the break, which is currently known as the art of looping. The quick-mix-theory was heralded as a next level tactic that stemmed from DJ Kool Herc’s groundbreaking “Merry Go Round Technique.”

The signature success of the quick mix theory leads to his most famed act as the DJ for Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, whose 1982 hit “The Message” embodied the essence of New York City and brought global prominence to the once “thought-to-be-faddy” hip-hop genre. “The Message” is known to be a track that document’s Flash’s mastery on the turntable and is nonetheless recognized as one of the greatest songs of hip-hop history. The song is responsible for refining the content landscape of the rapping trend by bringing to light social commentary from the black youth of the Bronx, exposing the daily trials and tribulations caused by historically sanctioned methods of oppression.

Happy born day Flash! Salute to you on your special day and wishingyou many more!
