YSL Woody Hilariously Smells All The Women Before 20 V 1 Appearance

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YSL Woody is living quite the hectic and public life following his release in the YSL RICO trial, appearing on the popular YouTube series known as “20 V 1.” For those unaware, it’s a somewhat controversial speed dating concept in which one person (usually a man) meets 20 others (usually women) and undergoes a process of elimination and questions to field out potential partners. He appeared as a special guest and, in a viral clip spreading around social media right now, had the ladies go through a bizarre “tryout” process. Moreover, Woody walked up to each of the girls and smelled them to see if they were worth his time, with him immediately dismissing the first girl that he sniffed.

Of course, this is a pretty funny and absurd antic on impact, but some folks found it particularly strange and boundary-violating. “They letting this gremlin disrespect them for clout and money smh,” one concerned user expressed on Twitter. It’s not the only wild online antic that YSL Woody got into as of late, though, even if this recent example isn’t his fault. A fan who stalked his IG Stories recently confronted him in person, and it’s clear that he’s dealing with a lot of celebrity right now that is as volatile as it is prolific.

YSL Woody Smells His 20 V 1 Colleagues

But YSL Woody’s also been able to speak earnestly and compellingly on other topics through his various media appearances, such as his heartfelt reflections on why artists like NBA YoungBoy particularly resonate with him. “Trauma, man,” he told The Danza Project. “We have been through so much. That’s why I listen to YoungBoy. When I listen to him, I hear the words, but I feel it. I be like, man, he younger than me. That boy needs help, they keep locking him up. That’s the same thing that they were doing to me. So they feel like we’re a threat, so they gon’ lock us up. But when they lockin’ us up, they’re destroying us, they’re making us worser.

“Get him some help!” YSL Woody went on. “If y’all got him for some drugs, put him in a drug treatment program. Didn’t he just tell his probation officer he wasn’t going to stop smoking and drinking or whatever they told him? Why y’all gon’ put him in jail? Y’all hear him in his songs. So now, when we got these traumas and we’re dealing with it, and y’all releasing us back up out of here to the public, what y’all expect from us?

Kendrick Lamar’s Engineer Reveals The “Amazing” Process Behind Drake Disses

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The world still hasn’t gotten enough of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, as there are still plenty of unanswered questions to ponder over. Moreover, one aspect of the battle that people would love to learn more about is the actual recording process behind these songs, as they came out so quick and with a lot of big names attached in the studio. Thanks to engineer Nicolas de Parcel, K.Dot’s mastering engineer for his disses, we now have more of an idea of how it all went down. He spoke to EngineEars (founded by Kendrick collaborator MixedByAli) and revealed how simultaneously intense but also exciting these sessions were.

“It was a little crazy,” Nicolas de Parcel recalled about mastering Kendrick Lamar’s tracks against Drake. “I got a call and it was like, ‘Stay on call, you’re gonna be working.’ I would get the song and like six minutes would elapse and they’d be like, ‘How we looking?’ It was very high pressure. As Dot was releasing these records, it was like, I was turning in the masters [and] it would drop like 12 minutes later. It was amazing.”

Kendrick Lamar’s Engineer Speaks On Intense Mastering Process For Drake Diss Tracks

Specifically, the Kendrick Lamar tracks that Nicolas de Parcel engineered (per the credits) are “Euphoria,” “Meet The Grahams,” and “Not Like Us,” the three individual disses that he released on streaming services. “6:16 In LA” only came out via Instagram, but it stands to reason that he could’ve contributed to that as well. Nevertheless, de Parcel has also worked with Pharrell, Killer Mike, André 3000, Future, 21 Savage, and many more hip-hop titans. So the resume certainly speaks for itself, but this historic moment is probably something that no studio wizard would soon forget even with such a lauded career under their belt.

Meanwhile, fans eagerly await what’s next, and most of them hope that Kendrick Lamar and Drake just continue to drop great music for themselves and not for anyone else. With the battle behind them, it’s time for them to move on and drop more amazing material, with both MCs supposedly dropping albums this year. That’s just speculation, but we know that they’re on a creative hot streak right now. Will they live up to the moment with incredible hip-hop that doesn’t have to go at each other’s necks or is “Wah Gwan Delilah” indicative of the complacency they will chase moving forward? We shall see…

Pooh Shiesty Issues Brief Message From Prison

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A new post on social media has fans buzzing about Pooh Shiesty prison status. Prior to his arrest, Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams, Jr. was a rising star out of Memphis. He frequently collaborated with Gucci Mane, signing to Gucci’s 1017 Records in 2020. The rapper was found guilty of federal conspiracy in January 2022, following two arrests the year prior in connection to a pair of shootings in Southern Florida. Florida judge Michael K. Moore sentenced him to five years and two months in prison in April of that year.

Rumors briefly went around that Pooh Shiesty was released earlier than expected. The rumors followed a recent Instagram story from his official page. The post in question appeared on the incarcerated rapper’s page on July 30. It simply read, “It ain’t shit to do a hit Im back B*tch!!” with no added context. This caused fans to briefly speculate on the meaning of the post. Some thought that the rapper’s release date from prison had been moved up since he was posting on social media again.

Pooh Shiesty Has Words On Instagram, From Prison

That post was followed by another one, which read, “B*tch ain’t out yet,” contradicting the first one. Fans joked that Pooh Shiesty could be referring to anything when using the word “hit,” from crime to another big song. The post was ambiguous enough to be left up to interpretation. When Shiesty was first charged in 2022, a prison sentence of up to eight years was presented. However, he received less time than receiving additional credit for the time he’d already spent in jail.

Pooh Shiesty is nearly two and a half years into that sentence. If he were to serve the full term, he would not be eligible for release until July 2027 at the latest. The Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast interviewed Shiesty from jail in November 2023. They mentioned hearing that he may “be coming out sooner than later.” Shiesty was hopeful. He could potentially receive credit for good behavior, which means that he could be released as early as Fall 2025. During that interview, he also said that he wrote six albums worth of material. Based on his latest posts, he could get the opportunity to share that music soon.

Today in Hip Hop History: EPMD Dropped Their Sophomore LP ‘Unfinished Business’ 35 Years Ago

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On this day in Hip-Hop history, legendary New York duo EPMD released their second studio LP, Unfinished Business. Certified gold by the RIAA, this album was the critically acclaimed follow-up to the group’s debut Strictly Business.

Claiming the #1 spot on the Top R&B/Hip Hop charts, this project has proven its timelessness. EPMD’s style sets them and this album apart from what was currently popular in New York at the time. In ’89, New York Hip Hop was heavily saturated with conscious boom-bap, and the braggadocio lyricism of Erick Sermon and PMD brought something fresh to the rap game. EPMD’s rap style helped pave the way for the flashy New York rappers of the next generation, such as Jay-Z, The Diplomats, and A$AP Mob.

The single from this project, So What Cha Sayin’, peaked at #23 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart and #5 on the Top Rap chart.

Kelsey Harris Responds to Resurfaced Affidavit in Tory Lanez Case

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The ongoing saga of the 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion continues as an affidavit from Lanez’s driver has added a new twist to the narrative. The affidavit, submitted last year after Tory Lanez’s trial, placed the gun in Kelsey Harris’ hands before Megan Thee Stallion was shot. This week, as the affidavit gained widespread attention on social media, Kelsey Harris felt the need to address the situation and set the record straight.

In a tweet on August 1, 2024, Harris emphasized her innocence and urged the public to remember that she had been cleared by both parties involved in the case. “It’s easy to get lost in the media, but let’s remember MY NAME was cleared by both parties involved. Stay tuned,” she wrote, aiming to quell the rising speculation and misinformation surrounding her role in the incident.

The resurfaced affidavit has reignited public interest in the case, leading to a renewed examination of the events that transpired on that fateful night. Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, real name Megan Pete, in the feet during an altercation in July 2020. The trial concluded with Lanez being found guilty and sentenced, but the newly viral affidavit has brought back questions and debates among fans and followers of the case.

Harris’ statement on Twitter is a clear effort to maintain her reputation and distance herself from any culpability in the incident. Her declaration that her name was cleared by both Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez is a crucial point in her defense, as she attempts to avoid the renewed public scrutiny.

Thoughts?

It’s easy to get lost in the media , but let’s remember MY NAME was cleared by both parties involved. Stay tuned .

Cardi B‘s on-again, off-again relationship with Offset is reportedly off again. This time possibly for good.

According to Page Six, Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband of seven years on Wednesday. “They’ve grown apart,” an insider claimed. “That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else. This is something she wants to do.”

The source added that the alleged dissolution of the relationship isn’t a surprise, as “they both have been trying to figure out what their future looks like for a while now. It’s not something that happened overnight… They’ve both been on the same page. There wasn’t [pushback]. They’ve grown apart and that feeling has gotten stronger overtime. It’s become unavoidable.”

Cardi B is hoping to obtain “primary custody” of her and Offset’s two children.

Earlier this week, the “Bongos” rapper shut down rumors that she could no longer afford the martial mansion she shares with her (ex-?)husband. “LMAOOO,” she wrote. “You bum b*tches wish… Me and Offset bought that house in 2019 for 5 million now it’s worth 7. Check the Atlanta market. And no, we not selling it… and if I ever sold it I would just sell my part to Offset since he loves Atlanta. Throwing salt on my home? Hating bad.”
