While a huge part of the rap world has seemingly sided with Kendrick Lamar in his feud with Drake, there’s one cultural titan who isn’t letting their conflict get in the way of potentially collaborating with the Canadian hitmaker. 50, whose involvement in the vendetta has to date been limited to teasing his longtime rival Rick Ross for supposedly being attacked by Drake fans in Canada, shared a photo of himself hanging out with Drake at a club with a caption that suggested that they might be working together in the near future.

“Brain 🧠 storming last night me and @champagnepapi gonna get the 🎥 rolling,” he wrote. “Biggest ting on your TV.”

Of course, that prompted a bit of a backlash in 50’s comments section, with fans quoting lines from Kendrick’s infamous diss track “Not Like Us” and comparing the Toronto rapper to 50’s own onetime (possibly forever) enemy, Ja Rule. “Nah 50 he ain’t it,” wrote one fan. “That’s Kendrick’s Ja Rule.” Meanwhile, others cited 50’s connection to Dr. Dre, who co-signed Kendrick way back in the day and appeared at K. Dot’s Ken & Friend concerts to introduce “Not Like Us” — proving once again, that a lot of rap fans take this stuff WAY too seriously.

With 50 looking to expand his Power universe, perhaps the project they “brainstormed” on has something to do with Drake’s history as an actor and a producer — Top Boy crossover incoming? Now, that’s something worth getting excited about.

Candace Owens Comes Under Fire For Accusing Kamala Harris Of “Thotting Through Life”

by

Candace Owens went off on Vice President Kamala Harris in the wake of the news that she’ll likely be taking on Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election. In doing so, she claimed Harris “slept her way to the top,” and recalled her relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown in the 1990s. The comments have been receiving ample backlash on social media.

“She was with some sixty-year-old man, got her start in the political career,” Owens remarked, as caught by AllHipHop. From there, she described Harris as “thotting through life” while citing a Daily Mail article. She describes Brown as being “married” and “in his 60s” at the time while Harris “was just a spring chicken.” Reuters has previously reported that despite being legally married, Brown had long been separated from his wife at the time.

Can’t dig up any dirt, Candace??? Awww.” Another user wrote: “Not Candace Owens saying Kamala slept her way to the top when Miss I can’t get a decent stylist married her husband after only two weeks because he was fame adjacent.” Check out Owen’s full remarks below.

Cardi B Vehemently Rejects Feminism While Calling Out Her Female Fans In Explosive Rant

by

Cardi B recognizes that she can be volatile at times. Fans have witnessed it on numerous occasions throughout her career, and it is something she is not proud of. In fact, she recently apologized to her supporters and thanked them for sticking around regardless after her spat with Joe Budden. “Sometimes I get a little aggressive because y’all know I don’t like to be told what to do. Thank you for the love and anticipation and always holding me down❤ I love y’all”. However, her unpredictable behavior is already making another appearance. According to AllHipHop, The Bronx MC is seemingly fed up with female fanbase in particular. Additionally, you can throw her support of feminism in the trash.

These strong feelings come after Cardi B got into with a female TikTok star, Paradise Paris. The GRAMMY winner and content creator were originally talking about the well-known delay of the rapper’s sophomore album. However, it somehow turned personal. Paris posted a screenshot of IG DMs she sent to Cardi’s hubby Offset right around the time they unfollowed each other amid their split late last year. Paris was making herself available, saying things like, “I got some thangs I wanna do to you”, and “It look like six flags I wanna go WEEEEEEEE”. Fans, especially her female ones, have constantly questioned Cardi and Offset together, but it seems this heated interaction is sending her.

Cardi B Doesn’t See The Appeal Of Feminism Anymore

Cardi addressed all of this female hate on an IG Live and stood by entering her “villain era”. She began, “I’m not a feminist no more. You want to know why? Because you could get on social media and your hardest critics is women. Women are always out here looking for ways to talk s*** about other women”, she affirmed. “It’s like it’s like women worst enemies are women, and y’all like to be talking about that it’s men. No, it be y’all b****es”. Going forward, Cardi claims to be dropping the “nice” act and if anyone tries to drag her or her relationship with Offset then “[you better] hope ya page is private”.

What are your thoughts on Cardi B calling out her female fans and distancing herself from feminism? Do you think her stance is warranted, why or why not? How do you feel about the aforementioned belief in today’s world? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

DJ Mustard Reveals “Faith Of A Mustard Seed” Tracklist And Stacked Features List

by

DJ Mustard revealed the tracklist for Faith of a Mustard Seed. The producer’s fourth album is set to release on July 26th, just over five years removed from the platinum-selling Perfect Ten. In an interview with XXL, Mustard revealed that the late Nipsey Hussle suggested the album title when they were working on Perfect Ten. He used the title for this album after noticing that the tracks being recorded were more soulful.

The album features some of the biggest names in the rap game. Mustard released “Parking Lot” with Travis Scott as the lead single last month. The ten-minute closing track, “Pray For Me” arrived on July 12 and features two verses from Mustard himself. Mustard previously pledged to never rap on one of his own songs, but thought that this was a good time to finally do so.

DJ Mustard Reveals New Album Tracklist

Elsewhere, the West Coast is well-represented on the Los Angeles producer’s latest effort. “Pressured Up” features Vince Staples and ScHoolboy Q, their first collaboration since 2016’s “Ride Out.” Frequent Mustard collaborator Ty Dolla $ign and legendary R&B/funk/soul extraordinaire Charlie Wilson are on two songs together. “A Song For Mom” also features Maseo, while “Mines” features Future. Roddy Ricch features twice as well, on “Truth Is” and “One Bad Decision,” a duet with Ella Mai. Gospel powerhouse Kirk Franklin opens the album, playing into the faith aspect of the album title. Fans were quick to note that YG and Kendrick Lamar were conspicuously absent from the tracklist. However, there are no listed features on “Track 5,” leading to speculation that one of them will appear there.

Faith of a Mustard Seed is the latest in what has become a banner year for DJ Mustard. He produced the Kendrick Lamar track “Not Like Us,” the final in a series of diss tracks aimed at Drake during their highly publicized battle. Mustard didn’t even know Lamar was going to use the beat until he heard the song on the radio. The track became Mustard’s first #1 single. He also performed at The Pop Out, bringing out some of his greatest collaborators, including the aforementioned YG. And now, he gets to celebrate a new album release in just a few short days.

WATCH: Cardi B Highlights She Long Believed VP Harris Should Have Been Democratic Candidate for President

Cardi B Reveals Why She Has Yet To Collaborate With Rihanna

Vice President Kamala Harris has the support of Cardi B. After Harris was endorsed by President Joe Biden as he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, Cardi hit Instagram to highlight this was her suggestion last month.

“STOP PLAYING WIT ME!!!! Check the date.. said this on JUNE 30TH,” Cardi B wrote on Instagram. “Been told y’all Kamala should’ve been the 2024 candidate. Y’all be trying to play the Bronx education, baby this what I do!!! Been my passion.. don’t let my accent fool y’all.”

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her first statement after President Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and delivered a ringing endorsement of his partner.

In a statement shared by the Biden campaign, Harris saluted Biden for “selfless and patriotic” decision.

“On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” Harris opened. “His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.”

“It is a profound honor to serve as his Vice President, and I am deeply grateful to the President, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family. I first came to know President Biden through his son Beau. We were friends from our days working together as Attorneys General of our home states. As we worked together, Beau would tell me stories about his Dad. The kind of father—and the kind of man—he was. And the qualities Beau revered in his father are the same qualities, the same values, I have seen every single day in Joe’s leadership as President: His honesty and integrity. His big heart and commitment to his faith and his family. And his love of our country and the American people.

“With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else.

“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party — and unite our nation — to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.”

She closed, writing, “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

Eminem Achieves 11th Billboard No. 1 Album with ‘The Death of Slim Shady

Eminem has secured his 11th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, dated July 27, with his latest studio effort, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The album debuted at the top of the list, launching with 281,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. during the week ending July 18, according to Luminate. This marks the largest week for any rap album in 2024.

According to Billboard, Eminem ties Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Ye (formerly Kanye West) for the fifth-most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. The Beatles hold the record with 19 No. 1s, followed by Jay-Z and Taylor Swift with 14 each and Drake with 13.

Of the 281,000 first-week units for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), 164,500 SEA units account for 220.08 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks, placing it at No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums. Album sales total 114,000, all from digital downloads, as there was no physical release. TEA units comprise 2,500.

Slim Shady is known to have no chill and spare no one when it comes to taking shots. And let’s be real, lyrically most artists don’t want any smoke. On Eminem’s newest LP  “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” the “Lose Yourself” rapper targets Kanye West, P Diddy, and even Ja Rule, queue 50 Cent meme when he says “Why they say F-me for.” 

Released today (July 12), this marks the 51-year-old rapper’s 12th studio album that touts singles like “Houdini” and “Tobey” which have already sparked plenty of fan reactions.

In this concept album, Eminem grapples with his alter ego, Slim Shady, while referencing various musicians throughout the tracks.

First Ye … On the track “Bad One,” Eminem appears to come for Kanye, also known as Ye, with the lyrics: “Brain is dead, space cadet / Like when Ye forgets to take his meds.” In “Antichrist,” he seemingly mocks Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape with Ray J: “Ray they wish that I wasn’t so angry / They wanna see me goin’ off the deep end like Ye, aye / Rather see me do like Kim Kardashian they say, yeah / And find a way to get rid of all of this rage, aye [Ray J].”

Next Diddy is in the cross hairs …  Insert chuckle …The embattled mogul receives the most pointed attacks, especially regarding his multiple sexual assault allegations. In “Antichrist,” Eminem references a 2016 incident involving Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie: “Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did / But on the real, though / She prolly ran out the room with his f—in’ dildo / He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill / Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe.” 

And there’s more smoke for Diddy … Another sharp diss comes in “Fuel”: “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R / Got so many S-As, S-As / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he? / R.I.P., rest in peace Biggie / And ‘Pac, both of y’all should be living / But I ain’t tryna beef with him / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him.”

And we mentioned Ja Rule who caught some not so subtle strays. The Queens rapper was targeted on “Guilty Conscience 2,” where Eminem raps: “When I say, ‘F— midgets,’ I mean Ja Rule,” recalling his 2003 diss track “Hailie’s Revenge (Doe Rae Me)” where he labeled Ja Rule a “little mothaf—in’ midget.”

Whelp. There you have it.
