Jerrod Carmichael‘s new reality show, Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show has everyone tuning in. In the premiere episode, Carmichael detailed a fairly awkward encounter he had with a famous rapper.

Back in 2021, Carmichael sent Tyler The Creator a text confession his feelings for him. Tyler, however, seemed to receive the confession in a rather unserious manner. Evidently, Tyler responded to the text message calling Carmichael a “stupid b*tch” and laughing.

But Carmichael continued to shoot his shot. He revealed that he later asked Tyler to accompany him to the Emmy Awards, however, Tyler shut him down.

At the end of the episode, Carmichael and Tyler sat down to talk about the encounters. Tyler told Carmichael that hearing him express his feelings was “a lot to download.” At the time, he wasn’t sure how to respond, and even know, he admits he still doesn’t.

“Getting news like that and then avoiding it is a way to avoid change,” Tyler said. “I didn’t think brushing that off and continuing regularly would be such a dent. I don’t know.”

Tyler did, however, say he holds Carmichael in high regard, despite not having romantic feelings for him.

“That’s like a brother,” he said. “That man’s like family.”

Doja Cat Responds To Criticism Of The Artwork For “Masc”: “Let’s Move Forward”

by

Doja Cat thinks the criticism of her cover artwork for her upcoming single is childish. Venting about comments she’s received about the reveal on social media, she explained that the photo features the hair on the top of her head and not “pubic hair” or “sheep’s wool.”

“I had a photographer take a picture of the top of my head,” Doja explained. “And we blew it up and we made it so that my album cover is my hair. So my hair, to describe it, is 4C hair texture. My hair is just 4C. I’m seeing a consistent pattern in my comment section of people saying is my hair pubic hair? Is it carpet or is it sheep’s wool? And it’s not even questions…some people are being like that’s what it is. But like people comparing my hair to sheep, and pubes and carpet and popcorn and s*** like that.”

“Let’s move forward. Let’s grow.” she concluded. “Cause I can’t tell you what to do, I’m not your f***ing parents. Like pubic hair? Really? That’s where we stand.” Many of her fans came to her defense when The Shade Room shared the comments on Instagram. “It’s her white fans being anti black forgetting she’s a black woman,” one user wrote. Another wrote: “I think important thing here is AN ALBUM IS ON THE WAY. Cause she just don’t miss.”

With the colossal showdown set to take place at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, the network had to tap Meek Mill as its official hometown ambassador. On X (formerly Twitter), famed wrestler turned company man (WWE’s Chief Content Officer) Triple H shared the latest promotional video starring the “Shaq & Kobe” rapper.

“A story of neon dreams… or faded nightmares,” he wrote. “You ready for this, Meek Mill? #WrestleMania.”

The clip soundtracked by Meek’s cult classic track “Dreams & Nightmares” (and debately the unofficial rap anthem of the city) further builds out the anticipation for the night’s biggest matchup. As the video closes Roman Reigns, The Rock, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins come head-to-head. This is exactly what subscribers have been waiting for.

YesJulz Intends To Countersue Ye: “I Have No Choice But To Fight Back”

by

YesJulz says she intends to move forward with a countersuit against Ye following her recent firing from Team Yeezy. While she admits her primary issues stem from his chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, the rest of the team is complicit in his behavior. She explained the situation in a series of posts on social media. Team Yeezy claimed she was fired for allegedly violating her NDA.

“Milo has stolen from and blackmailed Ye and this is a known fact,” Julz wrote in one post. “It baffled me that he is still around until i received a phone call explaining why after my whole situation went public. Its not rocket science.” In another post, she added: “By the way – i reached out to every mutual friend i could think of urging them to have @kanyewest call me so i wouldn’t have to move forward with a countersuit[.] I assume everyone is too p***y to address him about this so this is my last attempt before i take action.”

“I gave everyone over a week to do the right thing and fire this pedo, pay me for my completed work and drop the nonsense intent to arbitrate. Even asked everyone in a text if this was real because the way Milo wrote it was so damn laughable (my name is misspelled, Mozart is referenced, and the pot calling the kettle black with reference of outbursts & ‘hateful’ behavior was just the cherry on top for me)[.] I had to assume this was fake, but nope- its very real. So my response to it will be very real also. I really dont even want to do this. My problem lies with Milo[.] But i cant ignore that the rest of the team, including the founder of company, has been complicit. I have no choice but to fight back.” Check out Julz’s posts below.

YesJulz Reaches Out To Ye On Twitter

Ye initially announced that he’d no longer be working with YesJulz in a recent post on his Instagram Story. He’s since moved forward with suing her for $8 million over the alleged NDA violation. Be on the lookout for further updates on YesJulz and Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

Cardi previously addressed the idea of collaborating with Rihanna during an interview with Million Dollaz Worth of Game, earlier this month. “I love Rihanna’s music. But, I don’t [make] music like that,” she said at the time. “I sound kinda stupid trying to sing like that. I sound stupid trying to make music like that. So, if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song…I know she’s going to like it.’ I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the f*ck is this sh*t? Take this thing out of my face.’” Check out Cardi’s latest comments on Rihanna below.

Travis Scott & Playboi Carti Drop Dizzying Music Video For “FE!N”

by

It is crazy to think that Travis Scott put out UTOPIA just over eight months ago. It feels like the album only dropped about one month ago with how much we are still bumping the record. While it did not nab La Flame that elusive GRAMMY award he so desperately seeks, it was still easily a top-five LP from 2023. Tracks like “I KNOW ?” “MY EYES,” “TELEKINESIS,” “MODERN JAM,” and so many others were some of the strongest records of the year. “I KNOW ?”, arguably the biggest song from the tape, got its well-deserved visuals. However, fans have been waiting on the “FE!N” music video, too.

But, we can officially say now that we do not have to continue to hope for that any longer. Travis and the song’s feature, Playboi Carti, put together some freaky visuals for the rage collaboration. Some fans have been mixed on the visuals for the album so far, but maybe some will enjoy the cool shots for “FE!N.” If you like spinning videography, then this is the video for you.

Both rappers are constantly shown rotating at blistering speeds, along with some random people, beds, cars, and more. We feel that the artistic reaction matches what “FE!N” was set out to do. It is supposed to give you the feeling that you can run through a wall unscathed. The shots are just as crazy as the beat, evoking a sense of just raging out of control.

What are your thoughts on the brand-new music video for “FE!N” by Travis Scott and Playboi Carti? Does this video fit the song well, why or why not? Is this song still in your rotation? What is your favorite part about the video and why? Who had the better performance on the track? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

DJ Premier And Snoop Dogg’s Song ‘Can U Dig That’ Is A Calm, Cool, And Collected Tribute To California’s Impact In Rap

by

Several months remain for Hip-Hop 50, the culture’s half-century anniversary. Although the event programming might’ve slowed, the musical tributes continue to roll in. For the icon DJ Premier, that means a reunion strictly for the veteran hip-hop heads.

On his latest song, “Can U Dig That,” on his independent label (To The Top), the heavyweight tapped none other than Snoop Dogg. For the callback of their previously vaulted demo, the pair used the updated mellowed production to show off their California love.

No record would be complete without Premier’s signature scratching technique. Still, it is the sample usage of Average White Band’s 1976 song “Overture” that truly fosters the calm, cool, and collected groove. It has been over two decades since the duo’s last collaboration, but you couldn’t tell by their creative chemistry.

“Taught y’all the recipe / That West Coast mentality / Tupac and Ice Cube / Short Dog and 40 water (Yeah)
Ice-T and Eazy-E / Quik put you on a B, I put you on a C / DPG, away with gunplay and let the beef cease / Peace to the gods /And all the G’s on the yard / Born raised to squab / Hustle hard and ball, it pays to be hard,” raps Snoop.

Listen to DJ Premier’s new song “Can U Dig That” with Snoop Dogg above.
