D’Angelo Preps New Album With A Q-Tip And Raphael Saadiq Collaboration

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Raphael Saadiq, who has been a friend and collaborator of D’Angelo for nearly three decades, says the legendary singer is gearing up for the release of a new album. Speaking with the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, he explained that D’Angelo is in a “good space” and back in the studio.

“He’s excited. He’s like, ‘You gotta play bass. I’ve got this track. I’m telling you, you got to get on it. It got your name all over it.’ He’s working on six pieces right now and he seems super excited,” Saadiq said, as caught by HipHopDX. He added that one of the songs he’s crafting stems from their time together working with Q-Tip as the supergroup, Lynwood Rose. “I think it’s going to be a record on D’Angelo’s new album when it comes out, a record that we all did together,” he added. “Lynwood Rose lives. I’m playing bass, D’s playing, me and D is singing backgrounds. It’s funky as hell, too, it’s like, D is a bad boy. … It’s aged well. Good music ages well.”

A new project from D’Angelo would be his first since 2014’s Black Messiah, and only his second since 2000’s Voodoo. He told Rolling Stone after the release of his latest effort to expect more music from him, but unfortunately for fans, that hasn’t yet come to fruition. He’s only released one song of his own in the time since, “Unshaken,” which he made for the soundtrack to the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2. He has done a couple of collaborations, however, the most recent of which came from JAY-Z for “I Want You Forever.”

D’Angelo also made headlines for performing at the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem in 2021 for Swizz Beatz and Timbaland‘s Verzuz series. Be on the lookout for further updates on D’Angelo on HotNewHipHop.

Eminem Makes History With Impressive Billboard 200 Milestone

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a busy few months for Eminem. In July, the hitmaker unleashed his twelfth studio album, The Death Of Slim Shady. The concept album was mostly well-received by listeners, and he has even more on the way. Earlier this week, he dropped a trailer for the deluxe edition of the project, labeled the Expanded Mourner’s Edition.

It’s expected to include various bonus tracks, and one of them is rumored to feature production by The Alchemist, who appeared in the teaser. Eminem’s new and upcoming work isn’t the only material gaining recognition these days, however. According to Billboard, he’s celebrating yet another exciting milestone.

Curtain Call: The Hits Spends 700th Week On Billboard 200

The outlet reports that his 2005 best-of compilation, Curtain Call: The Hits, has spent over 700 weeks on the Billboard 200. He hit the 700 mark last week, moving roughly 8,000 album equivalent units. The album is only the sixth in history to do so, and the first rap album ever. Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Journey, Metallica, and Creedence Clearwater Revival have reached the milestone in the past.

HipHopDX attributes the compilation’s success to a loophole, as Billboard‘s rules state that a song appearing on more than one album has to be assigned to one. This is determined by whichever album sells the most that week. Since the compilation contains several of Em’s early hits, they’re often attributed to it, adding to its overall tally. What do you think of Eminem becoming the first rapper whose album has spent 700 weeks or more on the Billboard 200? Are you surprised by this or not? Are you looking forward to hearing the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of his new album The Death Of Slim Shady when it drops this Friday? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Pharrell Williams Directly Deals With PETA Protestor At Private Screening Of “Piece By Piece”

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pharrell Williams is rolling out the red carpet for his upcoming LEGO biopic, Piece By Piece. The film is going to officially hit theaters on October 11, meaning we are one month away on the dot. To build some extra anticipation for the animated motion picture, the multi-hyphenate held a private screening for it. However, as Pharrell Williams was winding things down, a PETA protestor briefly interrupted the event, according to Uproxx. The woman actually was able to get onto the stage, sign and all. Speaking of which, the message was, “Pharrell: Stop Killing Animals For Fashion”. Most likely, this relates to his involvement with the French luxury apparel brand, Louis Vuitton.

He does hold a high position with the iconic company, as he is the Men’s Creative Director. Throughout the PETA supporter’s appearance both on the stage and off it, she repeatedly said, “Stop torturing animals!”. In a scenario like this, there’s high probability that a lot of people would escalate the situation further by yelling and scolding her. But Pharrell was extremely mature and graceful during the entire face-to-face interaction. “I know, you’re right”, and “I’m working on it”, he replied in a cool manner.

Pharrell Williams Addresses PETA Supporter & Backlash

He even said “God bless you” and encouraged the audience to repeat that and clap for the woman. Eventually, she was taken away by security and afterwards, Pharrell decided to address the now elephant in the room. “Let me address that. You know, Rome wasn’t made in a day, and sometimes when you have plans to change things and situations, you have to get in a position of power and of influence, where you can change people’s minds progression”, he began. “That’s not necessarily the way to do it, and sitting in my position, when I have conversations on behalf of organizations like that, unbeknownst to them, they come out here and do themselves a disservice”. He then concluded with, “That’s okay: When that change comes, everybody in this room, will remember that I told you we’re actually working on that, and if she would have just asked me, I would have told her. But instead, she wanted to repeat herself”.

The crowd the clapped for how the multi-talent handled everything. However, PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman was not as forgiving. She issued a statement following this protest, saying, “We would be happy to stop disrupting Pharrell’s appearances but despite a lot of lip service, he’s yet to ditch fur and exotic skins. Pharrell can decide in a heartbeat, today, to use his power for good and stop being complicit in cruelty — it’s quite easy to be kind”. What are your thoughts on how Pharrell Williams handled the PETA protestor at his movie screening? Would you change anything, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Pharrell Williams.

Shannon Sharpe Blames Hackers After Instagram Live Sex Tape Goes Viral

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe is currently the most talked about man on social media right now after a livestream that went down on his Instagram account. Just moments ago, Sharpe went live on IG and thousands of fans tuned in thinking that he had something to say. Instead, all you heard were the moans of a woman, while the phone remained face-up on what appeared to be a nightstand. Nothing could be seen in the video, however, the audio was clear as day and it was easy to understand what was happening.

Eventually, clips of the Instagram livestream began circulating on Twitter. The video lasted for about five minutes before it eventually got turned off. Overall, this is anyone’s worst nightmare. Something similar happened to Denver Nuggets star Jamal Murray back in the day. However, Sharpe is not taking responsibility for what went down. Instead, he took to his Instagram story moments after the video went up. It was here where he blamed the live stream on a hacker.

Shannon Sharpe Claims He Was Hacked

It will be interesting to see how the internet reacts to that explanation. Whenever people blame things on a hacker, there is usually some sort of skepticism. However, you cannot just assume that someone is lying. You have to give that person the benefit of the doubt and take them at face value, especially since it’s almost impossible to know what really happened here. At the end of the day, we’re sure people will forget about this by tomorrow, anyway.

As you can imagine, this is not a video that we can share on HotNewHipHop, however, you can see it at the Via link down below. Let us know what you think of this unfortunate situation, in the comments section down below. Do you believe Shannon Sharpe when he says it was a hacker? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of the biggest and most viral stories.

15 Times Kanye West’s Features Outshined Everyone Else

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As polarizing as Kanye West can be at times, there are very few artists who can go toe-to-toe with him both lyrically and production-wise. His early career included creating beats for the likes of JAY-Z, Foxy Brown, Ludacris and more before pivoting into rap, which subsequently spawned classics like The College Dropout and Late Registration. However, the Chicago native’s role in Hip Hop also extends well beyond his own discography.

Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard Has Sued Diddy For Sexual Abuse As His Legal Troubles Continue

September 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard is the latest accuser to come forward with allegations against Diddy and has now sued him.

In the lawsuit obtained by Rolling Stone, Richard claims Diddy “manipulated her with mantras that submission to his depraved demands was necessary for career advancement, instilling in her the belief that such abuse and exploitation were required for female artists to succeed in the music industry.” The suit alleges that Diddy groped Richard, locked her in a car for two hours, and threatened her life. It also claims Richard saw Diddy become physically violent with women.

The suit was filed in the Southern District of New York on September 10, and Richard (who was in the group Diddy-Dirty Money alongside Diddy and Kalenna Harper) has also sued former Bad Boy Entertainment CEO Harve Pierre.

Richard’s suit backs up claims made by Cassie in her own Diddy lawsuit, with Richard saying she saw Diddy chose and strangle Cassie. On one occasion, she witness him throw a hot pan of eggs at Cassie and drug her up some stairs. She also says she tried convincing Cassie to leave Diddy, but he was apparently enraged when he found out, saying he makes “n****s go missing,” and, “I end people.”

As Rolling Stone notes, Richard is now the eighth person to accuse Diddy of sexual assault.
