KRS-One Calls for Emcees to Receive Their Flowers While They Can Still Smell Them

by

KRS-One, a towering figure in hip-hop with a reputation for being unapologetically outspoken, has once again made waves with his candid critique of the genre he helped shape. During a recent appearance on 97.9 The Box, the Boogie Down Productions frontman took aim at a troubling trend in hip-hop: the elevation of artists to legendary status only after they’ve passed away.

The conversation was sparked by the death of rapper and radio personality Fatman Scoop, who passed away on August 30. KRS-One, while praising Scoop, lamented the fact that such recognition often comes too late. “It’s a shame we’re talking about him in this way,” KRS-One said. “Hip-hop gotta stop doing that. Only when dudes pass, that’s when they get on.”

KRS-One’s comments reflect a broader frustration with how the culture often overlooks talent during an artist’s lifetime, only to celebrate them posthumously. “We should’ve been looking at Fatman Scoop when his career was blowing up,” he continued, noting that Scoop never received the radio play or recognition he deserved while he was alive. This pattern, according to KRS-One, is a significant issue in the hip-hop community.

When asked by the interviewer whether other genres honor their deceased artists more appropriately, KRS-One didn’t hold back. “Other genres suck,” he remarked bluntly. “We don’t give a fck about them. Hip-hop runs sht.” For KRS-One, hip-hop, as the most influential genre in contemporary music, should set the standard for how artists are appreciated and remembered.

This isn’t the first time KRS-One has voiced his concerns about the direction of modern hip-hop. During a 2023 panel at the Essence Festival, he shocked the audience by labeling modern rappers as “traitors” to the genre’s original intent. “What people call rap or hip-hop today is a disgrace to our culture,” he declared. “An absolute betrayal, disrespect, and a disgrace… If you know what original hip-hop is all about and you choose to do the opposite, you a traitor.”

While KRS-One has shown respect for contemporary artists like Kendrick Lamar, it’s clear that he believes hip-hop has strayed too far from its roots. His call to action is a reminder to fans and the industry alike: appreciate the talent in front of you before it’s too late. For KRS-One, the time to give artists their flowers is now, while they can still smell them.

Today In Hip Hop History: Poor Righteous Teachers Dropped Their ‘Pure Poverty’ LP 33 Years Ago

prtpurepoverty

On this date in 1991, Trentonians Wise Intelligent, Culture Freedom and DJ Father Shaheed followed up their debut album Holy Intellect with their sophomore smash Pure Poverty, which was released under Profile Records.

Produced primarily by NJ producer Toney Dofat aka Tony D, the 13 track full length studio effort didn’t receive the mainstream success as did its predecessor, however, marketing dollars for conscious artists became less available for conscious artists and more available for “gangsta rap” artists such as DJ Quik whose debut album Quik Is The Name went gold in four months on the same label.

Sure shot singles from PRT’s second album include “Shakiyla”, an ode to the everyday Black woman, their own rendition of the 5% Nation’s national anthem “The Enlightener”, which they entitled “The Nation’s Anthem” and the mathematically saturated “Methods Of Dropin’ Mental”.

Salute to Wise, Culture, Tony D and a supreme RIP salute to Father Shaheed, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2014 at the age of 45. The Hip Hop world will never forget this timeless gem!

Red Bull SoundClash Returns To U.S. With Rising Stars DannyLux and Tornillo

by

Red Bull unveils full details of the anticipated U.S. return of Red Bull SoundClash, the unique live concert experience featuring two artists competing across opposite stages, with the audience deciding the winner. This November, Red Bull will bring fans a Spanish-language SoundClash event series making stops in Los Angeles and Chicago, two cities synonymous with rich Mexican culture and community. Headlined by Chicano singer-songwriter DannyLux vs. Mexican MC Tornillo, Red Bull SoundClash marks the artists first-ever live collaboration in which they will reprise iconic hits, deliver unexpected covers, and celebrate the evolution of Mexican music and cumbia.

Red Bull SoundClash is a once-in-a-lifetime live musical experience which sees artists pushed to their creative, collaborative, and improvisational limits across multiple performance rounds. With each artist owning a stage on opposite sides of the venue, the distinctive live set-up challenges artists to engage the fans and earn the loudest crowd reaction after each round. Since it was first held in 2006, there have been 80+ Red Bull SoundClash events worldwide featuring artists like Danny Brown, Gary Clark Jr., Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Rico Nasty and Erykah Badu.

Mexican-American artist DannyLux was just a high school senior when he landed the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin Songwriters Chart after penning “Jugaste y Sufrí,” which resulted in a record deal with Warner Music Latin. His trademark sound of moody guitar ballads — named “sad sierreño” a genre that was growing in popularity at the time – has catapulted the 20-year-old artist to music’s biggest stages like Coachella, SXSW, and Lollapalooza. The sad sierreño singer will now be joining forces with Tornillo for the ultimate clash of traditional genres that the two pioneers helped modernize. Their unique styles and innovative approaches have propelled Cumbia and Mexican Regional music to new heights, pushing them to the forefront of the American music scene.

Combining elements of Latin trap and Cumbia, Mexican native Tornillo rose to stardom in 2020, signing to Santa Fe Klan’s 473 Music label after releasing his first song, “Dime Cuándo Volverás.” Since then, the rapper has dropped standout tracks like “Morena” and “Sentosa” and joined Santa Fe Klan onstage at Coachella for their memorable set this year. Red Bull SoundClash will coincide with Tornillo’s U.S. debut solo tour this Fall, and be the exclusive tour stop for fans in Los Angeles and Chicago to watch the artist live.

The 2024 Red Bull SoundClash event series is supported by Fender with a guitar giveaway and exclusive Artist Backstage Pass recap to follow on Fender’s social channels. Featured artist DannyLux will play the Player II Jazzmaster in Aquatone Blue.

Red Bull SoundClash will kick off in Los Angeles and showcase the evolution of the traditional sounds of Mexican Music and Cumbia. Coinciding with Tornillo’s U.S. tour, the artists will electrify the crowd in Southern California, just outside of where DannyLux was born and raised.

Chicago | November 16: Tornillo vs DannyLux

Venue: Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom

The series will conclude in Chicago and deliver an epic showdown featuring special guests and more onstage surprises. Fans from the Windy City will converge at the iconic venue that has hosted artists like El Tri, Ivan Cornejo, Jose Palomar, Omar Apollo, and more.

Law enforcement officials have confirmed that a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wrestler has been arrested on Labor Day for the murder of the school’s star gymnast.

It was discovered by investigators that Richards and Welsh had an altercation in the apartment that ended in fatal gunfire.

Richards made his first appearance in court yesterday(September 3) at the Walworth County Courthouse, where he has been charged with first degree murder, endangering safety by the use of dangerous weapons, and disorderly conduct while armed, according to Whitewater PD.

Ice Spice Slyly Trolls Cleotrapa With Chicken Salad Dinner Poll

by

Ice Spice took a jab at Cleotrapa on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night by creating a poll asking fans whether she should have chicken salad or steak for dinner. The post comes after Cleo came out with several allegations about mistreatment on the Y2K! World Tour on Monday. She claimed that, at one point, Spice’s team refused to pay for her to have a chicken salad.

Afterward, she shared another post defending herself for the move. “U losers can body shame and falsely diagnose me all day, but I’m wrong for defending myself?” she wrote. “I want u to realize I’m just a person. A rich troll, yes, but just a person.” She eventually took down the posts but retweeted one from another user who wrote: “Normalize moving on w/o making it a public matter.”

It’s not the first time Spice has spoken out since Cleo came forward with her allegations. Hopping on X Spaces on Monday night, she downplayed the seriousness of the situation. “Crashing out is sad you guys,” she said. “The scary part of fame honestly is the moment that somebody feels like they can no longer use your platform or like they’re not getting exactly what they want out of a situation the way that they want it … That’s when they decide to crash out every single time. I’m noticing a pattern.”

Ice Spice Posts Through It On X

Cleo has already responded to Spice’s comments, accusing her of being on Ozempic and lying about her father’s nationality. Check out Spice’s since-deleted posts on X below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ice Spice and Cleotrapa on HotNewHipHop.

Travis Scott Ironically Ties A Previously Held Chart Debut Record By Nicki Minaj

by

Travis Scott fought Sabrina Carpenter to the very end. However, he fell just shy of squeaking past the Pennsylvania pop star for the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 200. Still, though, moving 361,000 copies of a 10-year-old mixtape compared to a highly anticipated brand-new record from one of the hottest artists is nothing to be disappointed in. It just goes to prove that he’s one of the biggest rappers, but also superstar musician overall. AllHipHop has the stats to prove that, as Scott is now in the top five for biggest debuts of 2024 in terms of sales. He slots in at number four, just behind Sabrina, Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER, and the phenom Taylor Swift with The Tortured Poets Department.

In addition to this, Travis is also tying old records. Back in 2021, Nicki Minaj also rereleased an old mixtape. She reissued 2009’s Beam Me Up Scotty and by doing so, The Queen of New York went on to have the highest charting debut in that regard. It went number two in late May with around 80,000 units sold. Obviously, Scott obliterated the sales numbers, but he also a little bit stiffer competition.

Travis Scott & Nicki Minaj Seem To Always Be Linked Somehow

According to Rap-Up, Nicki was vying for number one with J. Cole’s The Off-Season, which had 288,000 buyers. That’s nearly 100,000 more than Sabrina’s 362,000 album equivalent sales. Overall, though, it’s kind of funny how Travis and Nicki continue to be linked. The have a couple of collaborations, but the latter still seems to try and destroy him in any way possible.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott tying Nicki Minaj for the highest chart debut for a reissued mixtape? Do you believe that La Flame was robbed of going number one yesterday, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Playboi Carti Pressured By NBA Team To Drop His Album

by

Playboi Carti is an artist who has built an entire brand for himself by being mysterious. Overall, this has caused a lot of strife within his fanbase. Whenever he does speak out, fans treat it like Big Foot has just been proven to be real. However, more often than not, Carti leaves his fans completely and utterly confused. This is because he is constantly making promises he has no intention of keeping. Over the last year, he has consistently teased his new album I Am Music. In fact, he has released six singles since November. Despite this, there is no album release date in sight.

Interestingly enough, Carti just did a cover story with Billboard where it was revealed that he would, in fact, be dropping this year. We will just have to wait and see. As for his social media activity, Carti has been posting new outfits on his Opium burner account. In one of these outfits, Carti can be seen wearing an Orlando Magic jersey with Penny Hardaway’s name and number on the back. This subsequently got the attention of the magic, who took to Twitter to say what we are all thinking.

Playboi Carti Told To Hurry Up

“Drop the album,” they wrote matter-of-factly. The person running the account must be a huge Playboi Carti fan. A frustrated one at that. Having said that, Carti’s new sound is something that should excite fans quite a bit. His six singles, starting with “UR THE MOON” have proven to be extremely popular. However, fans are now unsure if those songs will even be an indication of his album’s sound. We will just have to trust the process and see.

Let us know what you think about Playboi Carti and his constant album delays, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Carti will actually drop his album at some point this year? Or do you think we will end up having to wait until 2025? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Rich Homie Quan Calls Lil Woody A Liar When Asked About Infamous Barbershop Shooting

by

Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug used to be the best of friends back in the day. Overall, the two had some incredible collaborations, and fans were consistently tuning in to what they had to offer. Unfortunately, they eventually had a bit of a falling out. This subsequently left fans disappointed all while wondering what could have been. Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan has been implicated in the YSL Rico trial, and at one point, was even on the witness list.

Yesterday, Rich Homie Quan was brought up in court. In fact, this led to a hilarious moment in which the prosecution asked Lil Woody a question about RHQ, which subsequently led to him repeating that question in Thug’s direction. Thugger couldn’t help but laugh and his lawyer Brian Steele also let out a hearty chuckle. Meanwhile, Akademiks posted an interview in which RHQ was asked about Woody’s alleged involvement in an Atlanta barbershop shooting that injured his father. The incident was even rapped about on the song “Daddy.”

Rich Homie Quan Speaks His Peace

As you can see in the clip above, Rich Homie Quan seemed pretty annoyed by the question.

Lil Woody has been on the stand for weeks, and not much progress has been made, if any at all.
