Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has a documentary in the works. A promo reel of the Chicago lyricist’s In Whose Name? is expected to premiere at the American Film Market (AFM) in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday (Nov. 7).

Cardi B Shows Off Her Curves In Jessica Rabbit Halloween Costume
Cardi B is a style icon these days, so it’s no surprise that she would pop off for her Halloween costume this year. Last night (Thursday, October 31), she became Jessica Rabbit, the iconic animated muse in the 1988 animated/live-action romp, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The Bronx femcee wore a red gown that displayed her curves flatteringly, long purple gloves, color-coordinated makeup, and curly red hair. She pulled up in the garb to her sister Hennessy Carolina’s spooky season bash yesterday, and if you’re curious, Hennessy dressed up as the liquor she’s named after. It all seemed like a pretty great time out in the city.
Furthermore, we hope that Cardi B enjoyed herself to the fullest, as this came after her recent hospitalization for a “medical emergency” that prompted her to pull out of the ONE Music Fest on October 26 just days before the festival. “I am so sad to share this news, but I’ve been in the hospital recovering from a medical emergency the last couple of days and I won’t be able to perform at ONE MusicFest,” she expressed online. “It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see my fans this weekend and I really wish I could be there. Bardi Gang, thank you for understanding and I’ll be back better and stronger soon. Don’t worry. Love y’all.”

However, Cardi B fans will be able to see her at a very special event very soon, just not in her costume. She will join Kamala Harris at a Milwaukee rally later today (Friday, November 1) as a guest speaker, accompanied by musical guests such as GloRilla, Flo Milli, MC Lyte, The Isley Brothers, and more.
Hopefully Cardi B already feels much better after that hospitalization, although we’d guess that her stunning Halloween look is a great indicator of that. Elsewhere, she’s dealing with a lot right now, including a nasty split from Offset. Content creator call-outs, more demands for the sophomore album, and a third child all took over Bardi’s life this year, and have followed her to this day. Some of it’s negative, some of it’s wonderful, but she always looks good no matter the context.

Maxo Kream Delivers An Excellent & Wise Tale About Being With The Right Crowd On “Big H*e Me”
Maxo Kream remains a prominent yet underrated figure within the Southern hip-hop region. The Houston native has been having a pretty remarkable year amongst the megastars in his area such as Megan Thee Stallion, Don Toliver, and Travis Scott. For example, he’s been developing a tight knit relationship with underground producer evilgiane with the rauchy “Bang The Bus” and heat-seeking “Eye Know.” You can also take a look at his respectable feature run in 2024 which consists of the assistance of 03 Greedo, Denzel Curry, That Mexican OT, and more. However, his efforts in which he’s been the featured act are arguably the most impressive. “No Then You A H*e,” is a touching and painful tribute to his late father, who tragically passed earlier this year.
It’s a tremendous story-telling record, and one that displays just how talented of a writer he is. That similar level of excellence shows up on Maxo Kream’s latest single, “Big H*e Me.” It’s one of the tracks that will appear on his upcoming album that will be out on November 8, Personification. Based on the title and creative artwork, it looks like we are getting all of Maxo’s personalities, ranging from earnest and serious, personal, and carefree. “Big H*e Me” looks to fit in the former of the categories, as the nearly five-minute cut explores into betrayal and personal experiences with back stabbers. It also touches on being around the right people, something that Maxo had to learn from the age of 14. He continues to wow us this year and we cannot wait for the album.

Fat Joe Alleges Hip-Hop Media Was Partially Responsible For 2Pac & Biggie’s Murders
Last month, Kendrick Lamar sat down with SZA for Harper’s Bazaar and sparked a major debate. Several social media users and peers argued that it was a “softball” interview, and would have liked to see K-Dot sit down with a hip-hop outlet instead. Amid the backlash, TDE Punch took to X to come to Kendrick’s defense, arguing that hip-hop media is to blame.
“I respect Hip Hop Journalism and feel it’s needed in its truest form. It help keep the culture alive,” he wrote in part. “But it’s only a few real ones left. Most of you guys are trash. Just my opinion. That’s why artist don’t want to talk to you.”

According to him, Punch might be onto something. He even argued that magazines like Vibe and The Source could have allegedly played a role in the deaths of Biggie and 2Pac. “I also believe that the old guard of hip-hop journalists created a lot of conflict and might even have blood on their hands,” he explained.
“When you talk about East Coast-West Coast, Biggie-Tupac, that thing was amplified, and they both ended up dead,” he continued. “And, when I look at the so-called journalists that were here from day one, since Vibe and The Source [magazines] and all that, still to this day when they interview people and they do podcasts themselves, it’s always a negative route.” Fat Joe added that artists have more leverage now thanks to social media, podcasts, and shows like his own.

Lola Brooke Teams Up With Kurtis Blow On Remake Of His 1984 Hit ‘Basketball’ Including WNBA Players Like Angel Reese
Basketball and hip-hop have been joined at the hip as long as both have been at the forefront of American (and eventually global) pop culture. This is largely a result of ’80s rap pioneer Kurtis Blow‘s 1984 breakout hit “Basketball.” You know it. You love it.
The song’s been remade a couple of times over the years — most notably by Bow Wow in 2002 — but Blow himself teamed up with DoorDash and contemporary hitmaker Lola Brooke for “Basketball 2.0,” a remake capitalizing on the WNBA’s breakout 2024 season. Adding new verses to the traditionally heard “I like the pick-and-roll / I like the give-and-go,” the two rappers name check a variety of contemporary players, from LeBron James and Kevin Durant to WNBA stars like A’ja Wilson, Jonquel Jones, Sue Bird, and of course, rookie sensation Angel Reese.
The video for the song, which includes a demonstration of DoorDash’s DashPass benefts, takes place at New York’s legendary Rucker Park, where the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart take on all comers with some help from Bird, ending with a cheeky visual reference to NBA Jam — that’s right, “HE’S ON FIRE!” Fortunately, Kurtis has a fire extinguisher handy to put out the burning backboard.
You can check out Kurtis Blow and Lola Brooke’s “Basketball 2.0” video above.
Madlib Sues Former Manager Egon For Alleged Mismanagement And Financial Impropriety
Legendary producer Madlib filed a lawsuit against former manager Egon on October 31, the four-year anniversary of MF DOOM’s death. He chose the date to honor DOOM, whose family is currently in a legal battle of their own with Egon. In a complaint, Madlib accused Egon of several inappropriate business practices. The practices include allegedly mismanaging his finances, abusing his power by “taking a fee off the top” from money generated by his recorded music and locking him out of several “key music business platforms” like Apple Music, YouTube, BandCamp, Instagram and Facebook.
Madlib signed to Stones Throw Records and released his first single with the label, “Microphone Mathematics,” in 1999. Egon was working there as an executive. He became the general manager of Stones Throw in 2000, remaining in that role for the next decade. After Madlib left and Egon was fired, Madlib brought him on as his manager. They started Madlib Invazion in 2010, which is where the majority of his work has been released since. Additionally, they started Madicine Show and Rappcats.

Madlib Sues Former Manager Egon Over Mishandled Funds
Because of Egon’s alleged mishandling of Madlib’s finances, the legendary Oxnard-based producer is seeking compensatory damages, including attorney fees. As the complaint explained, Madlib “desires a declaration from the Court determining that none of the Defendants owns or has any continuing right or interest in the above and that he has lawfully terminated any rights he may have granted therein to any of the Defendants. Such declaration is necessary and appropriate at this time to confirm and protect Madlib’s interest in his creative work and the goodwill associated with his professional career, as well as his name and likeness, and so that Madlib may ascertain the rights and duties of the parties relating thereto.”
In October 2023, MF DOOM’s widow, Jasmine Dumile Thompson, filed a lawsuit of her own against Egon. Thompson’s suit alleged that the former family friend stole 31 of the iconic rapper’s notebooks. Those bookers were used to write some of his most well-known songs, including music from Operation Doomsday, Madvillainy, MM…FOOD. The books also included unreleased song ideas and “other creative ideations.” Madlib’s suit is the latest piece of what has been a lengthy falling out between Egon and the families of his two closest collaborators in hip-hop.

Lil Wayne Dragged Into Family Conflict Over His Daughter Reginae & Her Mother’s Brother
Things just got “Sticky” in the Lil Wayne and Toya Johnson family thanks to a recent Instagram Live rant from the former’s brother Walter. For those unaware, Weezy and Toya share a child named Reginae, whom they welcomed into the world as teenagers back during the New Orleans rapper’s rise to superstardom. However, it seems like there’s some trouble brewing among the family these days, as Walter took to social media to air out a lot of grievances. During his rant, he name-dropped Tunechi and expressed similar animosity to others in his family for what he sees as a lack of accountability and support.
“You play with me, I’m letting you know, I’ma come for all of y’all,” Walter said of Lil Wayne and the Johnson family. “Wayne, Toya, I don’t give a f**k who it is. I’ma come for all of y’all. Reginae, I’ma come for everybody. Because don’t play with me, bro. I’m real. When you ain’t have nobody? When my mama wanted to – when the family wanted to have a f***ing abortion on Reginae? And ain’t nobody could’ve did nothing to stop it? Walter stopped it. My mama was upstate. That’s the s**t I’m trying to tell y’all. It’s a lot of s**t that y’all don’t f***ing know, and I’m tired of it. We highlight everybody else. B***h, I ain’t from no Canada, n***a.”

Toya Johnson’s Brother’s Rant Calling Out Lil Wayne
Then, Walter seemed to directly call Lil Wayne out for lying about who he hangs with, criticize his lack of support for the family around him, and get into some of the alleged dynamics between their colleagues in common. Finally, Toya Johnson’s brother lamented how people won’t believe his story, and told the naysayers mad at him that he doesn’t care about their backlash.
We’ll see if anything else comes of this alleged drama and whether or not the rest of the family will speak out. In other Lil Wayne news, his fellow Cash Money alums Juvenile and Mannie Fresh recently stated that they would absolutely join Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show if he invited them. This opened up another debate about whether or not Wayne would do so considering his strong bond with Drake.

Sexyy Red Endorses Kamala Harris Despite Past Donald Trump Support
Sexyy Red is someone who never fails to leave the public divided, and her latest Tweet is certainly no exception. Earlier today, the “SkeeYee” rapper hopped online to show her support for Kamala Harris in the presidential race. According to her, she already cast her vote. “I just voted!!! Don’t tell us what to do with our coochies!! #Kamala4President,” she captioned photos of herself rocking an array of “I Voted” stickers.
Sexyy Red’s latest revelation has taken some by surprise, considering the fact that she previously supported Donald Trump. During her appearance on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast in 2023, she explained why she was a fan of the former president. “I like Trump,” she began. “Yeah, they support him in the hood. At first I don’t think people was f*cking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little sh*t against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Aww baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”

“I love Trump. He funny to me,” she added at the time. “I used to be watching him talking to people. He used to be calling people fat. He just bold. He funny. We need people like him.” Sexyy Red has clearly had a change of heart, and while not everyone agrees with her decision, fans are glad that she’s speaking up for what she believes in.
Sexyy Red isn’t the only femcee showing loving to Vice President Harris these days, however. Later today, Cardi B and GloRilla are also scheduled to support her at her Milwaukee rally. Glo plans to perform while Cardi will speak to the crowd. What do you think of Sexyy Red endorsing Kamala Harris despite previously supporting Donald Trump?

Tyler The Creator Calls Out “Racist” Taylor Swift Fans While Responding To Hate For Old Lyrics
Tyler The Creator is riding the CHROMAKOPIA high right now, even if it comes at the expense of some pretty shocked casual listeners. With every new album cycle, a fresh set of folks new to T discover his controversial old lyrics, something he’s talked about and reckoned with a lot in more recent material. So much so, in fact, that he specifically called out Taylor Swift fans for their context-lacking criticism. “I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a**,” the Hawthorne native joked during a short show in Boston yesterday (Thursday, October 31). “Bringing up old lyrics. B***h, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f**k, h*e. The f**k, b***h? They gon’ bring out the old me.”
For those unaware, this probably came up because Tyler, The Creator overtook Taylor Swift’s No. 1 position on Spotify’s global Top Artists chart. It’s more of a battle between fanbases rather than between the artists, as Tyler was probably just generalizing a much larger group than Swifties here rather than calling out the superstar singer herself directly. Nevertheless, the commercial and critical success of CHROMAKOPIA made a heavy mark, although it’s sad to see it result in fans bickering over their preference. More importantly, it minimizes actual dialogue and conversation about these lyrics, which have understandable and legitimate arguments on both sides.

Tyler The Creator Responds To Backlash Over Old Lyrics
But we know well that Tyler, The Creator would much rather talk about the quality of his music than these narratives. “At 1:54 of ST CHROMA, that siren and low end together feels like a blast wave after an explosion,” he recently tweeted about his favorite CHROMAKOPIA moments. “The ’20 thousand on me…’ part of RAH TAH TAH, the delivery is from a d*mb joke of mine but i couldnt get it outta my head, why not record it.”
With all this in mind, it will be interesting to see whether or not Tyler, The Creator or Taylor Swift actually speak on this in any direct way. They could either fuel their fanbases to be even more insufferably combative or show them the light. It’s a big responsibility to carry, but such is the state of Internet Stan culture these days.
