50 Cent Says He’d Consider Vegas Residency Under One Condition

by

50 Cent appears to have closed out his touring days with a bang, making his way around the world on his critically acclaimed “Final Lap” tour. During a recent interview with Haute Living, however, he hinted that he still might be up for performing under the right set of circumstances. The outlet asked him whether or not he’d ever consider committing to a Las Vegas residency. At first, he was extremely skeptical. Fortunately, he seemed to come around to the idea eventually.

“How much of a residency can I commit to when I have multiple film projects coming?” he asked. “Not just the television stuff, but opportunities for me to star in feature films, too. I’m having success in film; my career in television mirrors my music career.”

“My first television show [Power] is the largest show on the network; I’m able to develop spinoff shows and turn this into a 10-year anniversary, and it’s now the number one program in African American and Latino households. So, [now in particular] I have to seriously balance out and schedule things,” he continued. The writer then mentioned how performances are typically spaced out by weeks or months for Vegas residencies. Fif says that if that were the case, he might actually be willing to consider it. “That would actually be fun; that would work for me to do it that way,” he claimed.

What do you think of 50 Cent claiming that a Vegas residency would be “fun” for him under the right circumstances? Do you hope he commits to one sometime soon? Do you think he will or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Posdnuos Praises Childish Gambino For Keeping De La Soul’s Name Alive

by

De La Soul is forever. The legendary group is finally on streaming, and as such, an entire generation of fans are hearing them for the first time. Posdnuos has had to wait decades for his flowers, but they have finally come. The rapper credits streaming, of course, but he also credits the younger artists for keeping De La Soul relevant. In particular, Childish Gambino. Posdnuos and Gambino linked up backstage during a recent show, and the former had nothing but praise for the latter.

The link up happened at Childish Gambino’s concert in Tampa, Florida. Posdnuos posed for a series of photos with the rapper, and included them in a heartfelt Instagram post. “We caught @donaldglover & @willowsmith at the @amaliearena last night,” the De La rapper wrote. “Both shows were spectacular! My brother Donald, thank you for the kind words on @wearedelasoul legacy.” Posdnuos also had kind words for Gambino’s musical output. “We as well stand as students amongst your beautiful art. & will always be here to support,” he asserted.

Posdnuos Supports Childish Gambino’s ‘Beautiful Art’

Childish Gambino’s alternative style can be directly linked to De La Soul and the “Daisy Age” movement. The movement reached its peak in the early 1990s, and saw artists adopt a more challenging and varied sound. Childish Gambino famously covered “I’d Die Without You” on BBC Radio in 2014. The song was originated by another “Daisy Age” staple, P.M. Dawn. Gambino’s embrace of 70s funk and odd samples on his new album can also be attributed (at least somewhat) to De La. Posdnuos being a fan makes all the sense in the world.

Posdnuos is grateful for the popularity that the “Daisy Age” aesthetic brought to De La Soul, but he also acknowledged that it got old fast. He told Spin Magazine that the group didn’t want to be defined, and in breaking free of a mainstream sound, they got defined as “other.” “Every photo shoot we were going to, the photographer wanted to have a bag of daisies,” he lamented. “It was just too much.” Fortunately, the music has endured, and Posdnuos can take solace in having shaped hip hop history.

Multiple Women Claim They Had Close Relationship With Rich Homie Quan

by

Rich Homie Quan’s death is still being processed by the world. The circumstances in which he was found, and the uncertainty regarding his death has hit fans hard. The same goes for those who knew Quan personally. He was well liked by everybody he knew in the music industry and beyond. Evidently, extremely well liked. The rapper’s death has led to multiple women going on social media and sharing photos of them with Rich Homie Quan. Furthermore, these women claim to have had close relationships with the rapper before his death.

It’s getting tricky to keep track of all the women at this point. One of them posted multiple photos and videos of her and the rapper getting cozy with each other. One photo, in particular, sees Rich Homie Quan kissing the woman in the mirror while she takes a selfie. The woman, who goes by the IG handle @biggbritt13, penned a touching message to Quan as well. “We know everything about each other,” she wrote. “Idc what nobody has to say you was my everything wah am I supposed to do.” The woman went on to allude to knowing Rich Homie Quan better than anybody else, “relationship or not.”

Fans Are Questioning Rich Homie Quan’s Love Life

A second women got on TikTok to explain how she met Rich Homie Quan. She goes by the handle @lilafromval, and she claimed to have gotten close to the rapper after an episode of 20-v-1. “I lost a great friend today,” she wrote. “Your gone but will never be forgotten.” The comment section flooded with fans criticizing the woman for overstepping, so she decided to clarify. She posted a video with a very clear message to angry commenters: she was not romantically involved with Quan. She even made reference to the woman who kicked off this unexpected trend: Erica Mena. “I’m not Erica,” she asserted.

Erica Mena, of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta fame, posted some very intimate photos/videos of her and Quan. Like those we already mentioned Mena was heartbroken by the rapper’s death and waxed poetic about the special times they had together. Mena’s former Love & Hip Hop co-star, Akbar V, blew up her spot, though. She urged Mena to take the post down out of respect for Quan’s family. She called Quan and and Mena’s relationship a “secret,” and Mena subsequently took her Instagram post down.

Blueface’s New Mugshot Surfaces Online As He’s Transferred To Different Prison

by

Earlier this year, Blueface turned himself in for an alleged probation violation. He’s been behind bars ever since and was sentenced to four years last month. While he expects to come home far sooner than that, for now, he’s preparing to serve his time. Recently, for example, he was transferred from the Men’s Central Jail in downtown LA to North Kern State Prison in central California.

According to TMZ, he entered the general population at the medium-security facility yesterday (September 5). The outlet obtained his new mugshot, which is now making its rounds online. He looks pretty serious in the photo, as one would expect, which could indicate that prison has taken a toll on him.

Blueface Looks Serious Behind Bars

At the end of August, however, the rapper gave DJ Hed and Gina Views a rundown of his daily routine on Effective Immediately. He appeared to be doing considerably well at the time, and looking at his sentence like a pause from reality. “I be jacking off, watching TV, eating Doritos and using the phone. That’s pretty much it […] They only got like 12 channels. I’ve been watchin a lot of the news, the Sherri show and The Jennifer Hudson Show,” he said. “I’m chilling, man. I’m in my environment. It’s like a little break from responsibility. I’m like 180 [pounds] right now; I’ve never been 180 before. I’m getting sized up, I’m about to bounce out looking like a dalmation.”

While fans are glad that he’s making the most of his stay, they can’t help but feel for Blueface’s family. His youngest son Chrisean Jr. just turned one but spent his birthday without either of his parents. What do you think of Blueface’s new mugshot surfacing online after he was transferred to a new facility to serve his prison time? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

SOURCE SPORTS: Cleveland Guardians’ Tyresse Turner Drops His Dirty South Centered Playlist On Black Baseball Mixtape

by
unnamed 1

This week’s MLB playlist comes from Terrance. California born utility man for the Cleveland Guardians organization, former USC star Tyresse Turner. The switch hitting right hander was recruited to the Guardians’ High-A Lake County Captains before being shifted to the Lynchburg Hillcats, hitting .238 with 23 RBIs and 30 stolen bases with both teams that year.

This year, the 24-year-old Turner took his talents to the Double-A Akron Rubberducks(another Cleveland Guardians affiliate) and back to Lake County, where he now boasts a .250 batting average, with 25 RBIs including four homers in 68 games. Turner was mainly used as an infielder in his first year, playing all positions except first first base for the Captains and the Hillcats, but was switched to left field and utilized as a designated hitter half of his time on the field for the Rubberducks and the Captains in 2024.

Even as a West Coaster, Turner still has a Dirty South musical taste, with heavy NoCap, Gunna, Rod Wave and others from South of the Mason/Dixon. He still reps the Golden State with some Nipsey and Buddy collaboration flavors. It’s a plenty lengthy array of Turner’s favorites, so check out the playlist courtesy of the good people at Black baseball Mixtape!

Tory Lanez Opts For Dancehall/Latin Sounds On “TOCA” & “Eediot Bwoy” Singles

by

Since the beginning of this Lost Tapes/Prison Tapes/ Twitch Tapes series, Tory Lanez has been giving fans a lot of what we normally expect. That is a lot of trap/R&B cuts which showcase his trademark singing and rapping abilities. However, what we have not received a lot of is genre crossover tracks. Well, if you have been waiting on something like this from the Canadian, this weekend is your lucky weekend. Leading of the September additions to the playlist are “TOCA” and “Eediot Bwoy”. Both are labeled as Lost Tapes, with “TOCA” being a lost recording from 2017 and “Eediot Bwoy” coming out of the year 2020.

For the most part, a lot of the tracks didn’t seem to have a home of any kind. However, one of them this time through is not a loosie. According to a still unreviewed annotation for “TOCA”, this was supposed to be on tape from that same year, assumedly. Tory had been working on an all-Latin music project called El Aqua. However, that sadly hasn’t come to fruition, at least just yet. The person responsible for revealing this information claims it’s still in the works, so we will have to see what happens. Although, with Lanez behind bars for 10 years, that window of opportunity could have shut. We can dream, though. Similarly, “Eediot Bwoy” is another tropical dancehall-esque cut, so its clear there was a theme for this week’s releases. Check them out with the links below.
