James Harden Dodges 76ers Media Day, Still “No Traction” On Trade: Report

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Besides the Damian Lillard trade this offseason, the other major developing storyline is James Harden. It seems like every offseason includes some drama around him and this one is no different. After being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers over a year ago, there were plenty of reports claiming he was as hungry as ever to win the NBA Finals. He got to join his friend and general manager, Daryl Morey, with Joel Embiid as his partner in crime. Now, here we are, just a year later, and he already wants another trade to a new preferred destination.

There have been plenty of reports from the most trusted sources such as Adrain Wojnarowski from ESPN, about Harden. From calling his now seemingly ex-friend Morey a liar, to making claims the relationship is over, he is doing everything to get out of Philly. He has been adamant about his desire to play for the Los Angeles Clippers. However, nothing has really gained any footing.

Adrian Wojnarowski Follows Up On The James Harden Trade

Harden could be subject to a fine for missing media day. The Sixers leave for Colorado later today for several days of training camp at Colorado State University. The Sixers and Clippers have talked recently but there doesn’t appear to be any traction on a trade, sources said. https://t.co/Pt8SjSwjfW

In the series of tweets above from Woj, the insider-extraordinaire reported that Harden did not speak to the team’s media. Of course, this is his way of getting across his point to be sent to the west coast. Now, Adrian followed up on the first post that he could be fined for missing media day. Harden already received a fine for the Morey comments. The NBA will most likely follow through with another fee for this behavior. There were rumblings of players like Ivica Zubac being packaged in a trade, but, other than that, nothing has materialized.

What are your initial thoughts on James Harden not attending the 76ers media day? Are you surprised or unsurprised about his actions? Do you think he will ever be happy with another NBA team? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Ice-T Reacts To Keefe D’s Arrest Over 2Pac Murder: “People Talk Too Much”

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice-T has addressed the arrest of Duane “Keefe D” Davis in connection to the murder of 2Pac. Speaking with AllHipHop, Ice-T explained that he doesn’t understand how it took authorities this long to solve the case. He noted that Keefe D has spoken about the killing in countless interviews over the years.

“My initial thought was ‘people talk too much,’” Ice-T said. “I think L.A. knew exactly how this thing played out, I just don’t really understand why it took law enforcement so long, because if I say that I’m in a car with somebody that does something, I’m part of the crime. If I go over to your house and ask you for a gun and you give it to me and I go do it, you aided and abetted the crime.

Police Arrest Keefe D For The Murder Of 2Pac

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – SEPTEMBER 29: (L-R) Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson hold a news conference at the LVMPD headquarters on the arrest and indictment of Duane “Keefe D” Davis for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur on September 29, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. A Nevada grand jury indicted Davis on one count of murder with a deadly weapon in the fatal drive-by shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Ice-T continued: “So my point is that with all the interviews and all the books where dude just happened to say it 100 times on interviews he did: ‘I was in the car’—he said it. No one else said it. He said it. So why? Why? Why would you say that if you didn’t want to get caught? So you know, I got no love for dude. It was a chain of events that should not have ever happened. It’s all out of my realm of understanding.”

“He names everybody else in the car,” he added. “And now he’s basically dead—he’s gonna spend the rest of his life in prison all by his own hand. You don’t even need anybody to testify.” Prosecutors claim that Keefe D ordered the hit on 2Pac out of “retribution” for an altercation that occurred earlier in the night. He will appear in court on Wednesday, October 4, for his arraignment.

Ms. Lauryn Hill Extends ‘Miseducation’ 25th Anniversary Tour

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After a triumphant headline set at the Global Citizen Festival with a surprise appearance by the Fugees, 5-time Grammy winner Lauryn Hill is extending her The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour due to overwhelming demand. New dates added to the tour include Vancouver, San Francisco, Detroit, St. Louis, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Tampa, Miami, and Boston. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn, Washington DC, Chicago, LA Kia Forum, Oakland, and Seattle shows are already sold out.

“I’ve almost felt compelled to carry a torch or to keep a light shining regarding the continual performance of the Miseducation album. I believe there’s been a reason for that—and the Fugees coming back together for performances too feels like unfinished business we’re destined to handle. The connections are real and uncanny, and the magic and synergy between us has not been deterred by time. I believe the messages that we and the art we made embody something moving, meaningful and important for us and for the world. We gave voice and image to possibilities that emblazoned so many musical directions after us. As we were inspired, we also inspired countless artists who have shown up to express themselves in this musical space. Both the Miseducation and the Fugees’ material challenged and expanded convention, by paying homage to the past, while richly embracing the present, and emblazoning the trail for the future. We represent not just ourselves but our influences and our peers who took art, culture and inspiration very seriously—- who reshaped the landscape for ourselves and for those who would follow after us. I’m grateful to be able to celebrate this classic material and re-present it to an audience in this time.”

– Ms. Lauryn Hill

All North American dates will feature co-headlining performances by the Fugees. Tickets for the newly added shows go on sale this Friday, October 6th, at 10:00 a.m. local time.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill profoundly impacted music, fashion, and culture. It was inducted into the Library of Congress in 2015, marking several historical milestones. The album was the first hip-hop album to receive a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, Lauryn Hill became the first woman to be nominated for 10 Grammy awards in a year, and she was the first woman to win 5 Grammys in a single night. This tour continues to celebrate the enduring influence of the album and the Fugees on the world’s biggest artists.

Orlando Brown Claims That Tupac & Keefe D Are The Same Person: Watch

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Orlando Brown is well-known to drop some absolutely bonkers takes on the Internet, which inspire as much concern as hilarity, unfortunately. It’s sometimes very clear that he’s going through something, and other times he just seems very confused, like with this most recent claim. Moreover, the actor and reality TV star decided to weigh in on the Keefe D arrest in the Tupac Shakur murder case. According to him, the two are actually the same person, and Keefe’s soul needs to go back to ‘Pac’s body. In an interview with Cam Capone News, the former Disney Channel star seems to be almost completely out of it in his remarks.

“Keefe D, accused of- and he did interviews about it- of putting himself in the car with Orlando.” the interviewer told him. “The alleged shooter, the killer of Tupac. Supposedly, Keefe D was in the car. He’s wrote a book about this, I’ve interviewed Keefe D. A lot of other people, [like] Vlad, have interviewed Keefe D about the actual night that Tupac died. The cops raided his house and, right now, they have a grand jury going. He’s probably going to be arrested for his part [in] the murder of Tupac.” “He is Tupac,” Orlando Brown said with a blank expression on his face, to which the interviewer simply replied “Okay.” “Can’t arrest him if he’s the man that died!” Brown exclaimed before laughing and clapping boisterously.

“Can’t arrest him if he’s the man that died, what the f**k?” the “That’s So Raven” alum continued. “Look at that mans. Look at him, that’s Tupac!” Orlando Brown then answered the interviewer’s question of whether Keefe D beats the case. “They’re not gonna arrest him, I just said he’s Tupac [spoiler alert: they did]. If they arrest him, they have to put him in Tupac’s body.

“They’re not gonna arrest him ’cause they’re gonna let the man live, they don’t wanna see ‘Pac up,” he concluded. “That’s what this s**t is all about, they don’t wanna see him living, they don’t wanna see him live. They know he’s alive, we all know he’s here. They ain’t wanna give him his body. That’s what it is, they want him to look like a sucker every time he keep popping up and s**t. That’s not Tupac and how he would pop up. F***ing holograms and s**t. You know what I’m saying?” For more on Tupac, Keefe D, and Orlando Brown, come back to HNHH.

Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday” LP Turns 13

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This year marks the 13th anniversary of Nicki Minaj’s debut studio album, Pink Friday. It was released on November 22, 2010, via Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Universal Motown Records. Following a prolific mixtape run, Minaj became one of the flagship artists on Lil Wayne’s Young Money label. She displayed her ability to become a star during the early stages of her career.

Upon its release, Pink Friday debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking the second-highest sales week for a female rapper since Lauryn Hill. The album eventually reached No. 1 and went platinum by the end of the year. The now-triple platinum and Grammy-nominated album was just the start of the fruitful career of a hip-hop icon. Today, we are revisiting Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday for its 13th anniversary.

A Launching Pad For A Dominant Career

Nicki Minaj had already built plenty of momentum with appearances on the We Are Young Money compilation and features on songs with Mariah Carey, Usher, Ludacris, and Trey Songz. But her show-stopping verse on Kanye West’s “Monster” set the stage for her debut album.

By the time Pink Friday was released, she had already captured the attention of mainstream audiences. The album’s debut propelled her into superstar status, leading to her domination throughout the decade and bringing her “Barbie” aesthetic to life. Pink Friday contained production from Swizz Beatz, Bangladesh, T-Minus, Drew Money, as well as will.i.am and Kanye West, who also contributed vocals. Other guest features on the album included Eminem, Rihanna, Drake, and Natasha Bedingfield.

Pink Friday’s Pop Edge

Nicki Minaj’s debut album balanced her animated rap style with pop records and emotional ballads that appealed to a wider audience. Her commanding rap voice cut through the bubbly choruses on songs like “I’m The Best” and “Check it Out,” as well as the celebratory “Moment 4 Life” with Drake. However, her fierce competitive spirit also shined across the tracklist. The playful yet forceful “Roman’s Revenge” with Eminem proved she could hold her own with a lyrical giant. Meanwhile, on “Did It On’em,” she stunted on her haters.

Pink Friday also heavily showcased Nicki Minaj’s singing voice on slow ballads like “Fly” with Rihanna and “Save Me.” There is also the auto-tuned lead single, “Your Love” and the monster hit with “Super Bass” on the album’s deluxe version where Minaj fully leaned into the pop world. Nicki Minaj’s mainstream appeal was strong on Pink Friday, setting the tone for her later works that delved even deeper into the pop realm.

A Pink Future

Nicki Minaj was already an anomaly at the time of Pink Friday’s release. No other woman in hip-hop had the genre on hold like she did at the time. In retrospect, has aged, it is evident that Nicki Minaj created a world for female rappers like Iggy Azalea, Cardi B, and Doja Cat to cross over into the pop world. Overall, Pink Friday was the start of an iconic legacy from one of hip-hop’s biggest stars. Over time, it has proven to be influential in its impact on not only Nicki Minaj’s career but for women in hip hop who arrived after her. With Pink Friday 2 arriving later this year, Nicki Minaj is continuing to expand the legacy of her debut album.

YK Osiris Says Lil Tjay Is “Flopping,” Insinuates New Yorker Is “Scared” Of Him

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Life for Lil Tjay has never been the same since he almost lost his life in a brutal shooting last June. Thankfully, the young entertainer has made an impressive recovery and spent much of this summer performing on stages across the globe. That trend continued this past weekend, though the high of putting on another great show was seemingly diminished by some drama with another artist – YK Osiris. According to alleged screenshots posted on Tjay’s Instagram Story on Sunday (October 1), the 25-year-old has been spamming his phone with unkind messages.

“Scary a** ni**a. [You] so scared of me lol ,” Osiris seemingly messaged Tjay. “Lol . It’s ok, I’m not gonna slap [you] lol. Imma spare [you], you my son lol,” the “Dear Fans” artist assured the young rapper. “I know [you] scared man . Lol [you] need another hit man. Lol [you] trash [as f**k] lol ,” YK’s tormenting continued. At this point, Tjay calmly responded, “Don’t mind me bro. Please stop texting me.”

Lil Tjay Wants YK Osiris to Leave Him Alone

Lil Tjay YK Osiris Receipts — @liltjay/Instagram Story

Osiris failed to comply with his op’s request, writing back, “Lol [you] need one man. That money [gonna] run out lol. Stop spending it on h*es man, not good.” Once again, Tjay asked the Florida native to leave him alone, but YK couldn’t help but throw in one more diss. “Lol . [You] flopping man,” he boldly declared. When sharing a screenshot of the awkward interaction on IG, the 22-year-old said, “I keep blocking this ninja . Lol, someone tell Osiris leave me alone . WTF.”

Lil Tjay clearly has no problem putting YK Osiris on blast, which seems to be the opposite of what the latter is going for lately. Last month, the R&B artist made a point to apologize to the barber he was accused of scamming, declaring himself a “genuine” person at the same time. Read what else YK had to say about the situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
