Latto Fans Clock Potential Disses Against Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj And More On Her New Album

Latto’s new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea is a very fun ride, and although it caught the tail end of the summer, we’re sure it’ll heat up playlists for the rest of the year. Even though it’s only been in our hands for a couple of hours, though, fans were quick to compile and break down all the spiciest moments from the bombastic tracklist. Moreover, in their research, fans found some potential subtle (and not-so-subtle) disses against the likes of Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, and Coi Leray. Of course, it’s important to note these aren’t explicit enough shots to really cause an uproar in “Like That” fashion, and that they could be about other rappers or just the rap game in general. So, take this speculation with a grain of salt, but the Atlanta femcee surely came through with some fiery lines either way.

For example, there’s “Settle Down” and Latto’s dismissive remarks about an unnamed rapper. “Got these b***hes waiting for me to drop / Know they probably waiting on me to flop / You was just a fan before you popped / I don’t even know you, how we opps?Thousand-dollar steak and a b***h think we gon’ beef for free? / Lap dog better not think she getting off the leash with me.”

Latto’s Possible Disses On Sugar Honey Iced Tea

Also, there are multiple possible references to Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, and Coi Leray on Latto’s cut “S/O To Me.” “It clearly doesn’t matter if you younger or double my age,” she possibly spits against Roman. “Bye sis, funny thing about it, you can’t look me in my eye, sis” and “Ice is just water when it melts” are two pretty suggestive and by no means accidental shots at Big Mama’s Bronx rival. Finally, there’s “Don’t play coy with me, you know what you headed for,” which needs no explanation.

Some More Alleged Shots

As many fans have noticed, these shots may not be super explicit… But it’s impossible to look at them and think that Latto didn’t know exactly what she was doing when she dropped them. What’s more important: the intent with which these bars emerged or the decision to drop them with their implications in mind, regardless of whether folks intended them? Nevertheless, the “Housekeeping Knows” artist has way more great material on Sugar Honey Iced Tea, so make sure to check it out and not hyper-fixate on the alleged beef.

Quavo Recruits Rock Legend Lenny Kravitz For Recreation Of Iconic Song “FLY AWAY”

Quavo and Lenny Kravitz have a song together called “FLY”. That is a sentence that many music fans might have never thought they would ever hear. However, we can say that today, as the trap rap mainstay and rock and roll legend’s collaboration is available everywhere. The former Migos leader previewed this song about a week ago or so to some pretty negative reactions. Overall, he seems to be in new creative rhythm as of late, with his country/pop rap crossover “Tough” with Lana Del Rey being the kick starter. That track has been blowing up since its release in early July, raking in over 84 million streams.

Overall, we feel that “Tough” is deserving of its popularity thanks to its solid execution and quality performances from Quavo and Lana. However, we can see why the initial reactions to “FLY” were what they were. Some called it a piece of “high school music” and that’s a pretty accurate description. This feels like a blatant cover of Lenny Kravitz’s radio hit “Fly Away” in the worse way possible. It comes across a cash grab thanks to including the rocker’s OG chorus with some trap production slapped onto it. There is a plethora of rap/rock crossovers that we would recommend over “FLY”, sadly. Still, give it a try below and let us know what you think.

“FLY”- Quavo & Lenny Kravitz

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m feelin’ the wave (Feelin’ the wave)
I wanna fly (I wanna fly)
Let’s get geeked, let’s get drunk, let’s get high (Let’s get high)
Don’t go on a plane (Phew)
I’m sittin’ the jet way (Jet)
You already know which way we goin’ (Go), that way

Logic Delivers Some Thrilling Rapping Performances Across “Ultra 85”

There really isn’t much more that needs to be said about Maryland rapper, singer, and producer, Logic. Sure, he can be a bit divisive at times. Some of his more recent releases and their topical focus are not the most glowing representations of him. However, overall, Logic has put together quite the discography over the last decade plus and Ultra 85 will go down as one of those high-quality releases. As his fanbase is well aware of already, this project has been eagerly awaited. After all, he’s been working on this effort for roughly seven years.

So, when he finally released massive updates at the start of 2024, fans took quite the sigh of relief. Some were skeptical due to this long wait, but that pessimistic outlook flew out the window. You can thank singles such as “Mission Control”, “Teleport”, “44ever”, among others for that. Expectations were certainly back up and we can pretty safely say that Logic’s supporters will be happy with the final results. Across 20 tracks equating to over an hour of material, he’s giving you some of his best rapping performances from a technical and topical standpoint. Additionally, the jazzy, soulful, and head-nodding beats courtesy of longtime collaborator 6ix, Logic, Beat Butcha, and more, are meticulously crafted and mixed to perfection.

Additionally, fans will enjoy the continuation of The Incredible True Story space odyssey of Kai and Thomas. Overall, they are equally well performed and funny. Once this accompanying novel drops, it will be interesting to see where Logic goes from here. He’s claimed to have been done with music in the past, but Ultra 85 does feel and sound like a great send-off for the prolific MC.

LeBron, Steph, and KD Lead USA to Gold Medal Game in Epic Comeback

In a thrilling semifinal, Steph Curry led the USA Men’s Basketball team to a stunning 95-91 comeback victory over Serbia, securing their spot in the Gold Medal Game. Curry delivered an outstanding performance with 36 points and nine 3-pointers, igniting a fourth-quarter rally that saw the USA overturn a 17-point deficit. The United States outscored Serbia 32-15 in the final quarter, ensuring a rematch against France in the Gold Medal Game, echoing the 2021 Tokyo Games clash.

Facing its first loss of the summer and the possibility of contending for the bronze for the first time since 2004, the USA ramped up its defense. MVPs LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and Curry led the charge to turn the game around. Serbia hit five 3s in each of the first three quarters and entered the fourth shooting 50% from deep. However, in the fourth, they went 0-9 from beyond the arc as the USA tightened its defense.

Down seven with six minutes to play, Embiid went on a personal 7-2 run, including a blocked shot, to keep the USA in the game. After a missed 3 by Serbia, LeBron finished a drive to tie the game at 84-84 with 3:41 left. Curry’s ninth 3-pointer gave the USA an 87-86 lead with 2:24 left. Back-to-back layups by LeBron and Curry pushed the lead to five. Despite a late Serbian push, Curry sealed the game at the free-throw line. LeBron’s triple-double (16 pts, 12 reb, 10 ast) marked the fourth in Olympic history, and he became the first player with multiple Olympic triple-doubles. Serbia’s Nikola Jokic (17 pts, 5 reb, 11 ast) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (20 pts) shone in the loss.

“It was only a matter of time before he had one of these games,” James said of Curry. “We can see it every day. He put too much work in not to have a game like this, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. It was a perfect time for Chef to come out and do what he did.”

The Gold Medal came is set for Saturday afternoon.
