Travis Scott’s “Days Before Rodeo” Could Have The Biggest Hip-Hop Debut Of 2024

by

Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo could end up being the most successful hip-hop album to debut on the Billboard 200 in 2024 as early projections for the rereleased project’s first-week sales continue to increase. According to HipHopAllDay, Days Before Rodeo is expected to sell closer to 300,000 units in the seven days following its release. The project originally dropped back in 2014, but to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Scott added it to streaming services while releasing a deluxe version that features guest appearances from Young Thug three times, Quavo, Playboi Carti, and Mike Dean.

Depending on where exactly Days Before Rodeo’s sales land, it could outrank the previous most successful hip-hop album, Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The Detroit legend dropped that effort back on July 12 and moved 281,000 album-equivalent units in the first week.

When DJ Akademiks shared the latest expectations on Instagram, fans in the comments had mixed reactions. One fan wrote: “He’d be bigger than Drake if that Astro world tragedy didn’t happen, only rapper selling out stadium’s & performing for 80k people imagine what he’d be doing if that didn’t slow down his momentum.” Others were more critical of the way he’s been earning pure sales. “Anyone with a brain knows this is bc his clothes are hot right now lol,” one user argued. “These are t shirt bundle sales [laughing emoji]. Album did 20k from streaming numbers. Its all fugazi.”

Travis Scott’s “Days Before Rodeo” Continues To Dominate

In addition to fans criticizing Scott, Sabrina Carpenter, who is also competing for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 with Short n’ Sweet, tweeted, “this one’s for nicki,” last week. She appeared to be referring Scott beating out Minaj in 2018 as his album, Astroworld, competed with her album, Queen.

RZA Shocks Fans With Classical Music Album, “A Ballet Through Mud”

by

RZA has gone in a new direction with his latest album, A Ballet Through Mud, which sees him collaborating with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra as led by Christopher Dragon. Rather than a hip-hop release, RZA taps into the genre of classical music for the project. “I found my old book of lyrics that were written from the age 14 to 19, and I wanted to find a way to put music to it, so I started that as the foundation, storytelling in a way that was not just confounded to the lyrics,” he told BET of the decision. “It was almost like the story started lyrically, and then I wanted to express it without having to say anything.”

Speaking with PEOPLE for a new interview, RZA also revealed that Andre 3000’s recent flute album, New Blue Sun, served as an inspiration for his new project. He began by recalling meeting up with the legendary rapper during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We both talked about [our albums] and went on our way and, of course, he did it. He put [New Blue Sun] out,” RZA said. “And I think the beauty of his is that it didn’t take as many people to translate. That’s the glitch when you’re dealing with an orchestra of 60 people. But when his album came out, it just inspired me to keep going. Like, ‘Yo, I’m going to put mine out as well.’” Check out A Ballet Through Mud below. Be on the lookout for further updates on RZA on HotNewHipHop.

Snoop Dogg on a Mission to Find Martha Stewart Her Perfect Match

by
Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart Recreate 'Titanic' Scene

In a heartwarming display of friendship, rapper Snoop Dogg is determined to help his longtime friend, lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart, find the love of her life. According to sources, Snoop, 52, has taken it upon himself to play matchmaker for the 83-year-old television icon, who has yet to find a lasting romantic relationship.

Snoop and Martha’s unlikely yet endearing friendship has been well-documented over the years, from their popular cooking show collaborations to their joint appearances at various events. Now, Snoop is reportedly going above and beyond to ensure his bestie finds happiness in her personal life.

Sources close to the pair reveal that Stewart has been leaning on Snoop for relationship advice, and he’s enthusiastically jumped at the opportunity to help her find the man of her dreams. “He can’t understand why a beautiful soul like Martha hasn’t snagged a guy when she looks so great and much younger than her age,” insiders shared.

Despite her success and charm, Stewart has had a few love interests over the years, but none have blossomed into serious relationships. The options presented to her have been less than ideal, with sources noting, “The options haven’t been good in terms of serving up a guy who’s sexy and charming and eligible.”

But Snoop isn’t one to back down from a challenge. The rapper is said to be encouraging Martha to get out of the house and take on new projects, all in the hopes that she’ll meet someone special along the way. He’s even taken on the responsibility of vetting potential matches for her, ensuring that only the most suitable candidates make the cut.

With Snoop’s unwavering support and matchmaking efforts, fans are hopeful that Martha will soon find the romance she deserves. Their friendship, already a beloved example of two very different personalities coming together, could now lead to a new chapter in Stewart’s life—one filled with love and companionship.

As Snoop continues his mission, it’s clear that his bond with Martha goes beyond their shared love of cooking and entertaining. It’s a testament to the power of true friendship, where even the most unexpected connections can lead to beautiful outcomes.

Kanye West Sells Malibu Beach House at Massive Loss, Takes $36 Million Hit

Screen Shot 2024 09 01 at 5.42.16 PM

Kanye West, known for his bold artistic vision and extravagant lifestyle, has made headlines once again—this time for a significant financial setback in the world of real estate. The rapper and entrepreneur, who purchased a luxurious Malibu beach house for a whopping $57.3 million in 2021, has sold the property for just $21 million, resulting in a staggering $36 million loss.

The oceanfront property, which West had gutted with the intention of completely overhauling, was snapped up by California-based real estate crowdfunding firm Belwood Investments. Public records show that the sale took place last month, marking a dramatic decrease in value for the once high-profile purchase.

West’s decision to buy the Malibu home was part of his broader portfolio of real estate investments, reflecting his penchant for acquiring unique and high-end properties. However, his plans to remodel the house were never fully realized, leaving the property in a gutted state at the time of sale.

The loss is a rare and substantial one, even for someone with West’s financial clout. It underscores the risks involved in high-stakes real estate ventures, particularly in the luxury market where properties can fluctuate drastically in value based on factors like location, condition, and market trends.

Despite the significant financial hit, West remains one of the most influential figures in entertainment and business, with a net worth that still stands strong. Whether this loss will impact his future real estate ventures remains to be seen, but it serves as a reminder that even the most successful entrepreneurs are not immune to the risks of the market.

As for the Malibu beach house, its new owners at Belwood Investments have yet to announce their plans for the property. Whether they will carry out West’s original vision or take it in a new direction, the future of this oceanfront estate will be one to watch.
