MO3 Teases Second Posthumous Album With “AR” Featuring That Mexican OT & BigXthaPlug

by

The loss of Texas multi-hyphenate MO3 is still being felt in the hip-hop community to this day. The then 28-year-old was tragically gunned down on a Dallas freeway in broad daylight on November 11, 2020. The man who committed the unforgiving homicidal act was sentenced to nearly nine years in federal prison in the same month, nearly two years later. While justice will never truly be served, fans of MO3 have still been able to listen some of his work that was never published like “AR”.

This is the second single that his estate has put forth this year, and it is also the third and final offering from an upcoming project. MO3’s second posthumous album, Legend, will be out this Friday, May 31. According to Genius, his next body of work will be 14 tracks and will have a total of three features. All of which will be Southern rappers and the names include Finesse2Tymes, BigXthaPlug, and That Mexican OT.

Listen To “AR” By MO3, BigXthaPlug, & That Mexican OT

In fact, the latter of the two are on “AR”. All three rappers combine to bring a cohesive and passionate track, as BigX and Mexican deliver some extended verses. MO3 handles the chorus and delivers a sticky and melodic tune. Each artist talks about their rough upbringings and street violence over a lowkey and crisp beat.

What are your thoughts on “AR” by MO3, That Mexican OT, and BigXthaPlug? Is this one of his best post-humous releases yet, why or why not? Does this get you excited for Legend?

Quotable Lyrics:

Thugged alone in that cell, ain’t need no cellys
Found my way out the streets, put my life on these beats
That s*** made me a beast, now I’m up seven
Figures large and they mad ’cause they can’t catch it
Thank the Lord everyday ’cause He stay blessin’
But they try me, I’m sinnin’, ain’t no testin’

Cardi B Reveals How Often She Watches Porn While Pushing Back On Candace Owens’ Call To Ban It

On May 21, often-controversial conservative commentator Candace Owens tweeted, “Ban pornography. It is a psychological weapon intended to weaken our men.” Given that seven of April’s 50 most-visited websites are adult destinations, though, that’s a take that’s sure to spark backlash. Cardi B, for one, didn’t agree.

In the comments of an Instagram post sharing Owens’ tweets (more on the rest of them in a second), Cardi wrote (via TMZ), “Ommmggg why yall so against porn ? Is it that bad for yall ? I enjoy it but I don’t know I guess is like a 6 time a year thing .I personally don’t feel no connection or addiction to it just a little quick one two ….NOTHING LIKE REAL INTIMACY!”

In another comment, she added, “How ? It should actually teach men how to please a woman.”

Meanwhile, in a follow-up tweet, Owens added, “Pornography was created as a tool of enslavement, not freedom. It was created by the most depraved among our human race to psychologcally introduce homosexuality, pedophilia and incest–religious sacraments to satanists
BAN IT & stigmatize every person who defends or profits from it.” She wrote in another, “I also want to say to the men that struggle with pornography– you were the intended victims of it. Don’t feel ashamed talking about it. Knowing that it’s wrong is a great first step.”

While it may not be surprising that Cardi and Owens don’t agree on this issue, what might be a bigger shock is that they’ve been on the same side before.

Capella Grey Sparks Controversy For Transphobic Comments About Dwyane Wade

by

Dwyane Wade has become a surprising champion of the LGBT community. The former Miami Heat player has one of the most impressive lists of NBA accomplishments in the league history. He racked up three championships as a member of the Heat and was named an All-Star an astonishing 13 times throughout his career. Since his retirement in 2019, however, he hasn’t faded from the public eye. Wade has continued to host game shows, appear at NBA events like All-Star Weekend, and become an advocate for transgender rights.

That advocacy followed his then 12-year-old daughter Zaya coming out as trans. Since then he hasn’t been shy about sharing positive messages to the trans community and the LGBT community at large. In a later interview he even revealed that he moved his family out of Florida to escape the states anti-LGBT policies. Now, Capella Grey has sparked a brand new controversy with a tweet about Wade’s support of his daughter and advocacy for LGBT people. His post has fans more divided than ever before in his comments. Check out what he had to say below.

Grey’s hateful and profanity-laced tweet came earlier today. “Dwayne Wade is Disgusting. F*ck are u egging your son on to be a girl at 12. Ya normalizing to much weird sh*t and then celebrating it. F*ck it cancel me ya n*ggas is freaked out and bugged tf out” his post reads. Unsurprisingly, many came to Wade’s defense in the comments. Fans argued for Wade supporting his daughter, rather than “egging” her on. Equally unsurprising though, Grey didn’t seem to want to hear it. He continued arguing his point underneath multiple comments on the post trying to refute his hateful rhetoric.

What do you think of Capella Grey’s divisive comments about Dwyane Wade and his daughter Zaya? Are you surprised by how many people still take issue with Wade supporting his child’s transition? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kendrick Lamar Goes Platinum With “Euphoria,” Ushers In Yet Another Huge Milestone

by

Kendrick Lamar and Drake recently engaged in one of the most legendary rap feuds of all time. Overall, it was a beef that no one saw coming heading into 2024. However, with the “Like That” verse, Kendrick showed the world that he meant serious business. He was no longer going to settle for being part of the Big Three. Instead, he wanted the crown to himself, and the only one willing to challenge him for it was none other than Drake. Well, after May 4th, it became clear that Kendrick was the true heir to the crown as he put up a truly monumental performance.

On April 30th, Kendrick Lamar dropped off his first true diss track against Drake. “Euphoria” came out in the morning and it shocked the world. It was filled with scathing bars directed at Drake, and although it didn’t contain a hook, it made a massive impression. Numerous lines stayed stuck in people’s minds and even today, fans cannot help but blurt out lines at inopportune times. In fact, the song proved to be such a success for Kendrick that it is now platinum.

Iggy Azalea Clears Up “Hatred” For SZA After Crypto Lingo Confusion

by

Iggy Azalea, one of the largest hitmakers from the country of Australia, is not making music anymore if you were not aware. The “Fancy” songwriter announced that she would be retiring from the industry at the beginning of 2024 after essentially hitting a dead end on an album she was working on. “I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about songwriting”, she explained. It still remains to be seen whether or not what she will do full time. We do know that she is a top earner on the controversial OnlyFans platform. All of this makes a tweet from Iggy Azalea, which is rumored to be an attempt to diss SZA, all the more confusing.

According to AllHipHop, this post on X several hours ago had some fans stunned: “Who’s solana…? I don’t know that b****🤷‍♀️”. For those who are not in the know, SZA’s legal name is Solána Imani Rowe. One of the R&B superstar’s super fans was at the ready to defend her. “That’s @sza mother”, the user told Iggy. However, it turns out the post was a false alarm. “Girl im talking about crypto.”

Azalea is correct here, as there is a blockchain company by the same name that was launched with help of SOL cryptocurrency. One fan caught was the rapper was putting down, though, “I cackled a bit”, the user replied. Azalea made sure to then clarify that she has no ill will toward the SOS creator, “I love sza too! not about to have Stan Twitter rope her into crypto s*** hahaha lmaooo”.

What are your thoughts on Iggy Azalea clearing up the talk around her hating SZA? Were you aware that Solana was also a name for a blockchain company?

by

Earlier this month, Gunna dropped his new album One Of Wun. The project put up solid sales numbers in its first week, though not quite as high as he expected or promised. Ahead of the album’s release he told TMZ that the album was headed for the top spot on the Billboard 200. The album debuted at number 2, being held back by Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department which has occupied the top spot nearly every week since it was released.

But fans have already pivoted to paying attention to something else entirely related to the “fukumean” rapper. A new clip of him performing is making the rounds online and many can’t help but point out his physique. The clip shows off a particularly fit looking Gunna during a recent performance. In the comments fans are incredibly impressed with his results. “Chile this glow up is one for the books” one of the top comments on the post reads. “The gym will make a better version of everybody! Love to see it!” another top comment on the post reads. Check out the video that has everyone talking below.

The new documentary seeks to uncover the true history of hip-hop’s foundation. For the film, Nasheed spoke with Grandmaster Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz, Busy Bee, Sha-Rock, MC Debbie D, Coke La Rock, DJ Hollywood, and more. As noted by AllHipHop, it controversially disputes Latinos’ role in the genre’s creation. Of that criticism, he told the outlet: “In the last 15 years, there’s been this push by the corporate media to say that Hip-Hop was started by Blacks and Latinos. And they’ve been pushing that narrative real hard. And that’s just not true. Not taking anything away from the Latino brothers and sisters, but they came later. And they did phenomenal things. But in the early stages of Hip-Hop, all the pioneers have said this: ‘We was just out there by ourselves. We were doing it by ourselves.’ And the Latino cats were the first students.” Check out Nasheed’s post featuring ASAP Rocky below.

Nasheed also says the film will have screenings in more cities next week. Be on the lookout for further updates on ASAP Rocky as well as Tariq Nasheed’s Microphone Check: The Hidden History of Hip-Hop on HotNewHipHop.

The baseball world is extremely saddened after learning of the death of former MLB player and Little League World Series legend Sean Burroughs, who died moments before he was scheduled to coach his son’s Little League game. Burroughs wss only 43 years old.

According to reports, the 2000 Olympic gold medalist and a first-round pick in the 1998 MLB draft, was found unconscious next to his car in a Long Beach, California baseball field parking lot on Thursday afternoon(May 23). Burroughs’ mother Debbie told the Southern California News Group that the cause of death was cardiac arrest via ESPN.

After dropping off his son Knox, 6, for a Little League game Burroughs was intended to coach, but “tragically passed away”, according to California Long Beach Little League President Doug Wittman. Upon discovery, Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived in response to 9-1-1 calls, but once the first responders arrived, the baseball player was pronounced dead.

Burroughs, the son of the 1974 American League MVP Jeff Burroughs, won Little League World Series Championships for LBLL in 1992 and 1993. During the LLWS, he threw back-to-back no-hitters. The achievement earned him an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman at just 12 years old.

The Long Beach league’s Friday statement paid tribute to the late baseball player for his work in the Long Beach and baseball communities. “To say this is a huge loss is an understatement,” the statement read. “We will have his family in our thoughts and prayers during this time and try to end the season playing the kind of baseball Coach Sean would be proud of.”

The national Little League Baseball and Softball organization paid tribute to Burroughs Little League days in an Instagram post on Friday.
