Metro Boomin Coincidentally Posts Lil Wayne Track On IG After Clip From Weezy Concert Reveals “Not Like Us” Was Played At It

by

Metro Boomin has continuously been on the front lines of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. The decorated producer essentially rekindled the flame when he put out “Like That” a couple of months ago now. The record went onto spawn one of the most entertaining rap feuds in the genre’s history. At times, multiple diss records dropping on the same day. It seems that the dust is settling a bit, with fans pretty much declaring K-Dot as the winner. But Metro is seemingly still piling on Drake after “Not Like Us” was spun at a recent Lil Wayne concert.

A fan pulled up to a recent Weezy show, as evidenced by the clip from X below. In the 30-second video, it was revealed that the “Drake killshot” was being played before the Louisiana legend hit the stage. Of course, most people are aware that Wayne and Drizzy are extremely close. For that reason, it is quite shocking to see this. However, it seems that a DJ was just trying to get the crowd ready for the main event.

Metro Boomin Appears To Show Love To Lil Wayne

What is not surprising is that Metro Boomin was happy to see the Drake hate continue. It appears that the “BBL DRIZZY” producer saw the video because he coincidentally posted a Wayne track on his Instagram story. He reshared “Crazy,” off Da Drought 3 one his classic mixtapes. Who knows what Metro was actually up to, but we can only assume that it was to applaud Wayne.

Michael Che And Kendrick Lamar Might’ve Been Pushed Into A Beef Following The ‘SNL’ Weekend Update’s ‘Joke Swap’

Kendrick Lamar is the self-proclaimed Boogeyman of rap, but does that extend to the comedian space. While the “Not Like Us” rapper’s feud with Drake is officially over, yesterday (May 17) his next foe might have stepped up to the plate during Saturday Night Live‘s season finale.

To go out with a bang, Colin Jost used the beloved ‘Weekend Update’ segment’s joke swap to rile things up for his co-anchor, Michael Che. As the duo traded off-kilter and at times outright insensitive lines, Che unknowingly walked directly into a potential feud with Kendrick while discussing the rapper’s recent war of words.

“And speaking of b*tches, I wanna call out the biggest b*tches of them all, Kendrick Lamar,” he joked. “Or should I say littlest? Your war with Drake may be over. But your war with Michael Che is just beginning. So, to quote ‘Hamilton,’ shoot your shot player.”

Based on Che’s hesitation to read the script, it is clear Che has kept up with Kendrick’s lethal lines. Although he didn’t want to poke the bear, seemingly out of fear of Kendrick’s reaction, Che was a good sport and powered through the hilarious callout. He then took a moment to praise Jost for the clever setup. “That was pretty well done,” he laughed.

by

Fans have long been requesting a Hot Boys reunion, and it looks like their prayers have finally been answered. During a recent chat with fans on Instagram Live, founding member Juvenile announced that their first album in over two decades is currently in the works. Their last effort, Let ‘Em Burn, was released in March of 2003.

He shared the news in response to fans’ reunion demands, as seen in a clip from the Live. “The Hot Boys Is back together, man,” he said, explaining that he’ll be working alongside his fellow members in the coming weeks. “Any other f*cking questions?” He’s yet to confirm an official release date, but for obvious reasons, fans can’t wait.

First Hot Boys Album In Over 20 Years Is On The Way

The exciting announcement follows B.G.’s release from prison after a 12-year stay, as well as a bit of tension between him and another Hot Boys member. The rapper teamed up with Finesse2tymes for their track “Gangstafied” in January, taking shots at none other than Lil Wayne. “My n***a Weezy steady tourin’, but he’s a b*tch and it’s showin’,” he rhymed, prompting big reactions from fans. He later clarified that he didn’t mean any harm. “I tell a n***a I love him and call him a b***h all in the same sentence, man,” he told fans on Live.

Nonetheless, they’ve been teasing the idea of a reunion for some time. In February, only a few weeks after being dissed, Lil Wayne told YG on the 4HUNNID podcast that the only thing holding them back was B.G.’s travel restrictions. “Juvie ready and Turk ready, but really we gotta see if Geezy can move around,” he said. What do you think of Juvenile announcing that the first Hot Boys album is over 20 years in on the way? Are you looking forward to hearing it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Apple Music’s Ranking Of Nas’ “Illmatic” On Their Top 100 Albums List Has Fans Outraged

by

Without a shadow of a doubt, Nas created one of hip-hop’s greatest bodies of work, Illmatic. The status of this album is elevated by the fact that it was his debut offering. It spawned some of the best writing and performances the genre has ever seen. Prime examples include “N.Y. State of Mind,” “The World Is Yours,” and “It Ain’t Hard To Tell.” Illmatic is so amazing that it is now in the Library of Congress. With the widespread recognition of how important this project is to music at large, the placement in the Apple Music Best 100 Albums list has fans expectedly up in arms.

The streaming giant announced about a week ago that over the next 10 days, they would be ranking what they feel are the greatest LPs ever. On May 22, the full list will be available. According to Apple Newsroom, their experts, along with artists, producers, industry pros, and more all collaborated on this already hotly debated list. In fact, SZA voiced her confusion about her most recent album, SOS, receiving the 72nd spot. A fair number of rap/R&B sets have cracked the ranking such as ASTROWORLD (98), Flower Boy (92), Doggystyle (84), and more. The next 10 (40-31) were released today and Illmatic slotted in at number 39.

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

There were a few notable works ahead of it and its led to a lot of angry fans. They include Beyonce’s self-titled at 36, Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) at 37, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back by Pulic Enemy holds down 34th, and Biggie slides in at 32 with Ready to Die. A lot of people were commenting “should be top 10” or that it should not be behind Beyonce. Some are even predicting that Yeat, Ice Spice, Cardi B, and Taylor Swift albums will place higher. If that happens, prepare for burning buildings and protests outside of Apple Music HQ. If you want, you can track the list with the second “[Via]” link below.

What are your thoughts on Illamatic by Nas ranking 39th on Apple Music’s Top 100 Albums of All Time list? Do you think it should be ranked higher or lower and why? If higher, where would you place it? Do you consider this the greatest rap album in the history of the genre? What songs do you revisit the most from the record?
