The Joe Budden Podcast and its titular host recently discussed the Shannon Sharpe scandal on their show. “That’s what people are saying,” he responded to Flip’s assessment that Shannon Sharpe wanted to prove non-heterosexuality rumors wrong. “Let’s slow down, because both of those are very important points and I don’t want to breeze by either of them,” referencing Parks’ skepticism that this was an accident. “People are saying that he did this in response to some of the allegations and rumors that have been attached to his name.”
“I’m not all the way mad at that,” Joe Budden said of Parks’ idea that Sharpe went Live intentionally to promote his Nightcap podcast sponsors, which are erection pills. “My problem with what Flip is saying, if that’s true, and the rumors are right that he’s responding to something… Oh, f**k, I don’t even want to be the one to say it, but I’ma say it. The problem with that is that I don’t think that people were saying that Shannon Sharpe is gay. Yeah, [they were], but that’s reckless Internet chatter. I think what they was saying is that Shannon Sharpe is bi. I don’t think anybody doubts that Shannon Sharpe was sleeping with women. But in today’s society, if you’re not part of that community, you might view that as gay.

“So him f***ing a girl, I don’t think really clears nothing up,” Joe Budden continued. “I wish they had texted me in the think tank or the group chat. But there’s nobody to say that as soon as Michelle left, Daryl didn’t come in there and get crazy. I’m saying this: Michelle don’t disprove that Daryl’s in the Uber. I know I shouldn’t be the one to say that. No, I’m not saying that I believe that. Now, back to Parks’ point. I’m with you, let’s get to it. It is difficult to Insta Live by mistake. And we want to give grace to our elders. Technology can be difficult. He’s already said that he’s never Insta Live’d before in his entire life.
“But that’s part of what made me look at him funny,” Joe Budden concluded. “Because if you’ve never Insta Live’d before in your life, then when you get to that screen, I don’t think it’s just going to be on Live. You’ve never used it. I’m assuming that. Now, I’m just here to speculate and have fun with this s**t. Everything he’s saying could be 100% the truth. I wouldn’t know, I have put the phone in my pocket before and it did some s**t. Called somebody, took a picture, it’s done something.”
Karrahbooo’s departure from Concrete Boys has been nothing short of messy. Shortly after confirming the news, Lil Yachty unleashed a scathing rant about her and his former podcast co-host Mitch. He claimed that he wrote all of her music, accused her of verbal abuse, and slammed her for disrespecting him when he’s “given [her] a career.” Yachty even leaked a reference track for an On The Radar freestyle, which he said he wrote for her.
Karrahbooo was quick to deny his claims and accuse him of bullying her. “Put it on yo kid I ain’t write these songs miles,” she wrote at the time. “Stop bullying me big dawg I never said anything you letting random fans get in yo head man up.” She later said that she’s been “silenced” for three months, though it remains unclear exactly what she meant.
“There’s two sides of the story,” she added at the time. “There’s truth and there’s cap.” Despite this, Karrahbooo recently took to Instagram Live, this time to fire back at DJ Akademiks. During a stream, Ak had discussed the ghostwriting allegations, claiming that Mitch wrote her verses for multiple tracks. “I don’t need a writer, I never did, and I never wanted to use one,” she fired back. According to her, she also has a lot of new music on the way, which she’s working on entirely herself.
“All you do is yap all day and it’s never true,” she said of DJ Akademiks. “So what is the point of that?” What do you think of DJ Akademiks accusing Karrahbooo of not writing her own verses? What about her response? Are you looking forward to hearing the new music she’s working on? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Ahead of Kanye West’s China concert with Ty Dolla $ign for their VULTURES parties (which will be his first in the country in 16 years), he just confused a lot of fans online. Moreover, he posted a picture of him wearing a hoodie with what seems like Chinese on it with the caption “TOLD YOU.” While no one really knows what this means, one can easily assume that this relates to Ye’s concert, possibly to the specifics of how long it took him to return to China. Either way, his die-hards are ready. They gathered outside the Hainan stadium where he’ll perform tomorrow (Sunday, February 15) to play his music.
As you can see in the Twitter post below, other Kanye West fans in China went to great lengths to express their excitement. They traveled with custom luggage honoring him, and a couple of cars were spotted around town that either quote or represent Ye to a certain degree. We’re sure that his travels in the country with his wife Bianca Censori already saw him run into plenty of these excited admirers. Tomorrow night, we’ll see how the listening party turns out.
Elsewhere, though, Kanye West is still as controversial as ever, with Azealia Banks recently accusing his associate Milo Yiannopoulos of hiding Ye’s alleged abuse of his Censori. “Tell the world about how Kanye is Beating up Bianca Censori and how he threw a chair at northwest the other day big mouth,” she ranted on Twitter. “Tell the story of you and Elon making racist jokes about Kanye as if the two of you don’t both look like f***in hog cheese.”
Fans Get Excited For VULTURES Concert

However, beyond this, there are plenty of other reasons as to why Kanye West’s public image soured over the past few… Months? Years? Take your pick. Regardless, there’s still new releases and moves on the horizon, as Playboi Carti recently teased that they will have more collabs on the Atlanta creative’s next album. Maybe we do see an artistic return to form in the near future, although there’s not as much hope for his questionable behavior. But there will always be many fans that will be there to support even if they don’t understand or care about every single little IG post.

Wale is on the horizon of dropping a new album and although we don’t know anything else yet, that’s enough to get us excited. The Washington D.C. rapper has been inching his way back into the limelight as of late with his biggest step being a new tour. In just five days, he will be embarking on a 33-day trek across North America and it’s called Every Blue Moon. The Tour. There’s a chance we could be getting the project within the next couple of months, but no one really knows yet. For now though, Wale has been treating his starving fans with a few singles over the last week and “What’s The Play” is the latest one.
Prior to this, the “Lotus Flower Bomb” artist put out a two-track EP called Ghetto Speak. It consisted of the title track and “Mission Statement”. Both brought some more conscious ideas to the table like the pros and cons of growing up in D.C. Now, with “What’s The Play”, which features Chaz French, Wale is asking himself how he should continue to move. He acknowledges his own absence on the chorus and wonders if he’s still got real supporters still out there. Again, there’s more to like here in terms of substance, but Wale also gives a dynamic vocal performance, too. Check out the single with the link below.
N****S DON’T WANT PROBLEMS LIKE WE WANT IT ANY DEEPER IN THE FIELD ID HAVE CLEATS ON ME YALL NEEDED YALL VILLAIN 13 SUMMERS BUT I BE STILL RUNNING S*** LIKE YALL IN DEEP COVERAGE I DONT NEED FRIENDS I NEED BROTHERS I DONT NEED A WOMAN I JUST NEED LUGGAGE
KARRAHBOOO has been relatively silent since Lil Yachty crashed out on Instagram Live, claiming that he wrote all of her lyrics and that she is no longer part of his new imprint, Concrete Boys. Friday night (Sept. 13), KARRAHBOO finally spoke out to share her thoughts on how bloggers, specifically DJ Akademiks, were covering the public musical split.
Hip-hop has been in a frenzy this week ever since Jay-Z and Roc Nation announced Kendrick Lamar as the Super Bowl Halftime show headliner in New Orleans next year – a slot that many suspected would’ve been handed to Lil Wayne. Weezy, an unequivocal legend, has been the flagbearer for NOLA for the entirety of his career. However, he hasn’t had the same motion as Kendrick Lamar in the past few months in terms of mainstream attention. On the heels of defeating Drake in their back-and-forth, Dot confirmed that he would be headlining the Super Bowl in an announcement video that seemingly stepped on the idea of a second round, something that Drake has hinted at since early August, at least. However, even though the Pop Out was deemed a victory lap, Kendrick’s mission statement appears to be much larger than simply toppling one of the most commercially successful artists of all time.
On Wednesday night, Kendrick Lamar surprised the masses by releasing his new untitled single on Instagram, tentatively titled “Watch The Party Die.” It’s a 180 from “Not Like Us,” the upbeat West Coast anthem carried throughout the summer. This one is much more somber in tone with its drumless soul sample and deadpan delivery, where Kendrick addresses the culture, similar to other installments in the “The Heart” series. He seemingly steps on Drake’s grave one last time, shuts down the media and influencers whose bias is reflected in their reporting and agenda, and expresses not just disdain but a vitriolic hatred towards the hip-hop industry as a whole. In some senses, he’s envisioning what hip-hop and humanity look like after a destroy-and-rebuild process. Clearly, there are others in hip-hop who he acknowledges as those who could similarly help lead this movement, specifically LeCrae and Dee-1.
Released on September 11 when the VMAs began, Kendrick Lamar’s latest single marked his first song since dropping “Not Like Us” earlier this year. The record finds Kendrick reflecting on the feud (“This shit done got too wicked to apologize/ It’s different, get him whacked and disqualified” and “Just walked that man down, that’ll do everyone a solid.”) He also reflects on the state of the media, targeting unnamed individuals that people believe to be Akademiks, Gillie Da Kid, Cam’ron and Gillie (“Influencers talked down ’cause I’m not with the basic shit/ But they don’t hate me, they hate the man that I represent/ The type of man that never dickride ’cause I want a favor” and “I think it’s time to watch the party die/ Street niggas and the corporate guys, the rappers that report the lies/ I need they families mortified.”)
The song tackles the music industry at large, retreading and expanding on concepts mentioned in songs like “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us” (“It’s time to get these devils out the way, heavy metals on my sword… Say hello to your future fate, the culture bred with carnivores” and “They wonder why I’m not enthused to drop/ The more visible you get, the more your spiritual is tried”). Considering that “Euphoria” marked the first release post-TDE from Kendrick Lamar where he explicitly states, “F*ck the industry,” “Watch The Party Die” is less of a nail-in-the-coffin of his feud with Drake and more of a new beginning to this new chapter in his career, one that appears rooted in his frustrations with the exploitation and commodification of the culture.
“I Wonder What Lecrae Would Do?“
The song’s third verse contains two shout-outs to Lecrae, a Christian rapper who often doesn’t get his flowers due to the content of his music. “I wonder what LeCrae would do? F*ck these n***as up or show ‘em just what prayer do?” Kendrick asks at the top of the verse, repeating the first part towards the end of the verse. This particular shout-out isn’t a coincidence in this chapter of Kendrick’s career, especially considering the lyrical themes on Dot’s new single.
In a 2023 interview, Lecrae revealed that his relationship with Kendrick dates back to The Kendrick Lamar EP. On the project, the rapper has a song titled “The Faith,” where he opens up about his issues with his belief in God. Kendrick Lamar was hardly a name back then, but when Lecrae heard the song, he reached out.
“I had more Twitter followers than him at the time, so I DM’d him, and I was like, ‘Bro, I heard this song. What are you wrestling with?’ I said, ‘Cause maybe I can send you some stuff,’” LeCrae recounted on the YTH Nation Podcast. Kendrick explained that he had several questions about his faith. “And we started going back and forth, and we just developed a relationship. From there, it just became a dope relationship where I never wanted to abuse it or be like ‘Yeah, let’s do music together’ but it was more like, let’s be friends.’”
Even more interesting about this podcast segment is that Lecrae said he turned down a feature from Kendrick before. “He actually asked to do music with me first and I was like, ‘Nah, let’s chill because I don’t want you to ever feel like I’m only in this for what you have going on,’” he said.
A more minor component to consider in Kendrick’s shout-out is how Lecrae framed the Compton native’s place in the culture compared to Drake. In an interview clip from Mr. Jay Hill Network that has circulated recently, Lecrae explained, “Ghostwriters aside, [Drake]’s a great rapper…but Drake is a fan of the culture. Kendrick is a product of the culture. It’s a difference.”
“I Wanna Be Empathetic, My Heart Like Dee-1”
Similar to Lecrae, Dee-1’s Christian values have often been at the fore of his artistic output. The New Orleans-based rapper, interestingly enough, gained fame with the release of his single, “Jay, 50, and Weezy,” a song calling out three of the biggest rappers of the time for the messages they put out in his music. Ultimately, the song led to a deal with RCA Inspiration.
While the Super Bowl announcement has turned into a nonsensical Kendrick vs. Lil Wayne debate, it’s important to note that Dee-1’s had his issues with Cash Money and Weezy in the past. A project he was supposed to be put out titled Separated At Birth was heavily inspired by Lil Wayne and Cash Money but the NOLA-based label blocked it from dropping, as explained on Sway’s Universe.
His issues with the music industry made headlines earlier this year after criticizing rappers like Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Jim Jones for the content in their music. Urging each of them to “do better,” he took particular issue with the content in Meek and Ross’s Too Good To Be True project. Dee-1 suggested that it was hypocritical of Meek to rap about murder and violence while simultaneously being a the face of prison reform. “But this man glorifying getting people killed as of a week ago!’ Like, what are you doing, bro? Lil’ Snoop really got killed, that broke your heart. You wear him around your neck,” he said. “Why are you glorifying the same thing? The rap game, the hip-hop industry is great at cooking up some delicious poison. I don’t call you out because I got a problem with you, man.”
Ultimately, it turned into a back-and-forth between himself and the aforementioned artists including vague alleged threats from the Dipset member. Still, Dee-1 made it clear that he never had any personal issues with any of the parties he called out. That became especially clear when he refused to make light of Rick Ross’s altercation in Canada and praised Meek for his unfiltered take on the reality of the streets when he wrote, “Being gangsta will get you hurt put in jail or killed… Being smart will get you out of poverty and your family and friends living better.”
The brief shout-out captured hip-hop fans attention, especially as an anticipation for a new wave of Christian rap makes a path for itself. Both LeCrae and Dee-1 kept their responses brief at first. The former wrote, “Love you Dot….Always here,” along with a prayer hand emoji. Dee-1 offered a more extensive response over the past few days since the song was released.
“i appreciate the shoutout brother. @kendricklamar More than you’ll ever know. A shift is happening. The time is now!” Dee-1 wrote on Twitter after the song was released. However, he went on to address some of the backlash he faced over siding with Kendrick over Wayne in the Super Bowl debacle, particularly because he’s a New Orleans native. But in an interview with TMZ, Dee-1 recalled a conversation he was having at the time the song dropped. “I’m not afraid to go against the whole culture. I love New Orleans, but I love God more than I love New Orleans. What I stand on has nothing to do with loyalty to my city, loyalty to the hip-hop industry. All this stuff is fickle, and it comes underneath my loyalty to my creator.”
i appreciate the shoutout brother. @kendricklamar More than you’ll ever know.
If you’ve followed Kendrick’s career, these flashes of his spirituality have been scattered across his discography. good kid, m.A.A.d city opens up with his childhood friends reciting a prayer and repenting for their sins, and comes first circle by the end of “Sing About Me/Dying Of Thirst” when a woman (voiced by Maya Angelou, per BET) helps lead “Sinner’s Prayer.” The religious allusions and imagery continued throughout projects like To Pimp A Butterfly, DAMN., and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. However, Kendrick appears to be more outward with his faith and using it as a guide to spark change. So when Kendrick rapped, “I wanna be empathetic, my like Dee-1 but I will–,” it demonstrates the Pulitzer Prize winner’s quandary: gear up for another aggression or use spirituality and faith to rise above the conflict for a bigger purpose.

ELUCID (E L U C I D) is aiming for another one-of-a-kind listening experience with the release of “THE WORLD IS DOG”. This is the third single from the New York City rapper in the last month or so, and it’s also going to be one that lands on a new album. REVELATOR will be his second LP of the year when it hits streaming platforms on October 11 as he already dropped off We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. That was his collab record with billy woods that dropped in February. However, it was also Armand Hammer’s seventh tape as a duo. ELUCID is not done working with billy though, as they will have two more songs together on REVELATOR.
We got one of them already in “INSTANT TRANSFER” alongside “SLUM OF A DISREGARD” which were singles one and two. So far, ELUCID is aiming for a real dystopian like atmosphere for this upcoming LP. There’s lots of distortion thanks to the erratic nature of the production and flows. “THE WORLD IS DOG” has more of that, as ELUCID raps in spoken word with great ferocity. As far as the beat goes, there’s a sense of chaos with its industrial and fast-paced drum patterns. Finally, in terms of the theme, it’s pretty loose as well. But it seems like ELUCID is aiming to focus on arrogance and being able to live a life that he wants and he’s not going to let anyone dictate it.
