With Chika having recently secured her first Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, Spotify has opted to spotlight her work as part of the ongoing Spotify Singles series. Now, Chika has delivered two reimagined versions of both “U Should” and “My Future,” with the former kicking off the two-pack. While this new interpretation retains the same laid-back energy as the album version, the Spotify take of “U Should” is even more stripped-down than its predecessor.
Over a delicately finger-picked acoustic guitar progression and some lush production flourishes, Chika’s vocal chops are given room to soar, highlighting her versatility. As she transitions into rapping, the percussion enters the mix, imbuing the track with the spirit of an old-school jam session. What really shines however is Chika herself, who delivers each line with a refreshing clarity not often seen in a live rap performance. While it’s not entirely different from the studio version, the Spotify version of “U Should” emphasizes how talented Chika really is, and we can only hope she continues to explore this acoustic sound on further releases.
I’m always in the position
Of sipping my drink, tryna make a decision
Of how I can shoot my damn shot with precision
I swear that it’s harder than what I envisioned
Cause mama got ass for days
But hold herself well, she got class for days
Soulja Boy and WWE Superstar Randy Orton have been at each other throats online for the last few weeks. After Soulja said that the rap game is “faker than WWE”, a number of wrestlers came forward to call out the rapper, calling him a “one-hit wonder” and challenging him to get in the ring to see for himself what sort of pain they go through every night.
While the outcomes in wrestling are pre-determined for the most part, the bruises and scars that they suffer for the entertainment of the audience are certainly not fake. Randy Orton attempted to show that to Soulja Boy on Tuesday, tagging him on a picture of WWE’s Drew McIntyre and Sheamus showing off their wounds of war from their hard-fought match on Monday Night RAW. In doing so, he also called out Soulja’s relationship woes, taunting him and saying, “Which one of yo baby’s mommas do I send the bill to for making you relevant again?”
Soulja Boy has officially responded and he’s seemingly ready to hop into the squared circle. He got something off his chest first and fought back against Randy’s claims.
“Yeah that sh*t is fake homeboy,” he said. “And I don’t got no baby mommas fool. Looks like your the one looking for relevancy. Enough talking set it up so I can slide on u for the gang, u think sh*t sweet huh.”
He proceeded to take a swift jab at his new rival, pointing out the fact that he’s allegedly made much more money than Randy in his career. Sharing a graphic comparing their net worth earnings, Soulja pointed out that he’s worth $30 million compared to Randy’s $11 million. Then, he fired back with a low blow. “I can’t argue with a man that wears leather thongs,” he wrote.
Do you think this will lead to a fight between Soulja Boy and Randy Orton at WrestleMania?
Whether you like her or not, Cardi B is here to stay. She became a household name due to the success of “Bodak Yellow,” which is now the first rap single from a woman to be certified diamond by the RIAA. Fans have watched her come up from the days of being a social media personality, leveraging it onto being a cast member of Love & Hip-Hop to now, being one of the biggest musical acts of our generation.
E! recently announced that they’d be doing a True Hollywood Story based on Cardi’s life but apparently, that never received the rapper’s stamp of approval. Though grateful for the support the network has offered, she said that it couldn’t be a ‘true’ Hollywood story if she wasn’t involved. “I love E! and I always been grateful for all the love but I did ot approve of the E Hollywood Story. My life is my story. How can someone tell my story without asking me?” She tweeted.
Cardi didn’t deny that it wouldn’t be good but ultimately, she said she wanted to tell her own story when the timing was right. “I been thru & influenced by a lot of bad shit since a teenager That when I’m ready I will like to talk about,” she added.
Many will be looking forward to the day when she’s ready to tell her story. In the meanwhile, Cardi’s story on E!’s True Hollywood Story debuts on March 15th. Will you be tuning in?
The other day, we reported on how Azealia Banks and her fiancee, Ryder Ripps, recorded a sex tape to upload to the blockchain, and sell as an NFT. NFT, a non-fungible token, has currently become the word du-jour, with Jack Dorsey even hopping on the trend to sell the first-ever tweet as an NFT, and Grimes selling video art.
Basically, the idea is that you can own a piece of “digital art” – i.e. a meme, GIF, video, piece of text, etc, as a crypto token. These items, however, are all non-fungible, in the sense that they are unique to themselves and there does not exist any one similar. For example, you cannot trade Jack Dorsey’s first-ever tweet for another of Jack Dorsey’s first-ever tweets – it simply does not exist, it’s a one-off item. Whereas bitcoin is fungible, and can be traded for other identical bitcoin that are not irreplaceable.
Purchasing an NFT, such as Azealia Banks’ sex tape with Ryder Ripps, gives the buyer ownership over the item, which itself has cache. Now that we’re done unpacking the jargon, the update on Azealia and her man’s sex tape is that it sold for more than $17,000. At the time we first posted about, it was going for around $16,000.
The buyer is reportedly Rulton Fyder, who purchased it for the asking price– 10.00 ETH, or $17,240.40– nine hours after it was listed. Thus, Fyder now in full ownership of the audio, the WAV file, a 1 of 1 signed LP vinyl record, as well as rights for distribution and display.
The description for the audio sex tape NFT reads as follows:
This sale is for the full rights and sole access to the first audio sex-tape to be minted on the blockchain. Recorded in February 2021 by Azealia Banks and boyfriend, Ryder Ripps, this sound based artwork is sure to titillate for its full 24:22 duration. Upon purchase, a WAV file will be delivered to the buyer in addition to a 1 of 1 signed LP vinyl record. Full ownership, including limitless distribution and display rights are included in this sale. Don’t miss out on this historic & sexy event.
Following the sale, Azealia Banks has taken to her Instagram stories to further express her opinion on the crypto world, NFTs, and why she chose to sell a sex tape, as well as congratulate her lover on their sale.
“Literally- the most expensive NFT ever,” she revealed in the caption. “Dont you love how We came saw and conquered this shit in a matter of 48hrs? The fucking iconnery @ryder_ripps.”
In her stories, she started with a message on why she feels like “this crypto shit is a scam,” and continued in another story where she spoke directly on the selling of her audio sex tape, and why she did it. Azealia basically reasons that the value of sex will remain high in 100 years from now (alongside things like food and drink), while the value of “your goofy 3D cherubs,” for example, will evaporate. From there, she spirals into democratizing food.
The rapper wrote:
“I sold a sextape on blockchain because I honestly feel like a lot of the digital art being collected is worth zero.
100 years from now absolutely no one is gonna give two shits about your goofy 3D cherubs or your stupid ass fuzzy teletubby….
100 years from now people will still be having sex, eating food and drinking water.
I don’t understand the crypto enthusiasts’ democratization of wealth rhetoric when the fact that many people barely have access to clean water nad basic hygiene… Like can we democratize the food first?”

No matter what ends up happening on March 9th, today will forever be marred by the death of The Notorious B.I.G, who died on this day twenty-four years ago. By now, it’s no secret that Biggie is a lyrical genius, easily one of the culture’s defining writers and an enduring example of excellent penmanship. It feels appropriate to highlight one of the rapper’s many brilliant tracks — as well as one of his most depraved — in “Dead Wrong,” a posthumous collaboration with Eminem.
Over an unsettling horn-driven beat, Biggie gives all the way into his villainous urges, embracing all the thrills of hedonism and violence as he spits methodical and brutal bars. “Biggie Smalls for mayor, the rap slayer,” he spits, introducing himself to the unaware. “The hooker layer, motherfucker, say your prayers / Hail Mary, full of grace, smack the bitch in the face.” Not long after, he declares himself to be more ruthless than Lucifer himself, leaving little reason to doubt him. “Disrespect me, my potency is deadly,” he warns. “I’m shooting babies — no ifs, ands or maybes.”
Who better to match Biggie’s madcap depravity than Slim Shady himself, who steps in to close things off with a dexterous verse. By now, his opening stanza has become iconic. “There’s several different levels to Devil worshiping,” he spits. “Horses’ heads, human sacrifices, cannibalism, candles and exorcism / Animals, having sex with ’em, camels, mammals and rabbits / But I don’t get into that, I kicked the habit.”
Easily one of the most twisted duets in hip-hop history, especially when you factor in the combined level of lyrical excellence, “Dead Wrong” remains an essential part of both Biggie and Slim’s respective catalogs. Check it out for yourself now, and show some love to the late, great Notorious B.I.G in the comments below.
Disrespect me, my potency is deadly
I’m shooting babies — no ifs, ands or maybes
Hit mummy in the tummy if the hooker plays a dummy
Slit the wrist of little sis after she sucked the dick
Gucci Mane previously had high hopes for Asian Doll, one of his signings for the original 1017 Eskimo crew. She was onboard with Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Yung Mal, Lil Quill, Lil Wop, and others who worked under the Atlanta rap legend to grow their own burgeoning careers in the business. Unfortunately, they were not able to reach the same level of success as The New 1017 has, with Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, and BIG30 garnering lots of attention from Guwop’s refreshed label.
Following her departure from 1017, Asian Doll went fully independent and saw her career grow tremendously. She is one of the more well-known women in rap and, through her connection to the late King Von, she’s only seen her profile be boosted. The rapper is plotting out her next moves to take over the rap game, manifesting a move to Yo Gotti’s CMG label, which she spoke into the world in a quick post-and-delete on Twitter this week.
“I can see me signing to Yo Gotti,” said the Dallas-based rap artist. “Only deal I’ll sign is a Yo Gotti Deal. Other then that I’m independent.”
Yo Gotti has not commented on Asian Doll’s tweets, but word will surely get to the mogul eventually. The 39-year-old icon has achieved great success as an A&R and businessman, working with Moneybagg Yo, Blac Youngsta, 42 Dugg, EST Gee, and other buzzing artists out of CMG. Could Asian Doll offer them some representation as the next best woman in rap?
Do you think Asian Doll is a good fit with Yo Gotti and CMG?
Over the weekend, Gunplay made headlines after unleashing a venomous and racially-charged rant lined with an anti-Asian sentiment. Though he maintained that he is not, in fact, racist — citing a love of Japanese porn as his primary defense — many in the Asian community and beyond were disturbed by Gunplay’s language. The rant eventually caught the attention of rapper China Mac, a former member of the notorious Ghost Shadows Gang and no stranger to the commentary circuit, who had a few thoughts on the matter.
During an appearance on Uncle Nick’s Word On The Street podcast, China Mac watched the clip on the spot, the disgust on his face notable throughout. “First of all, he look like he was high,” notes Mac. “He was obviously speaking to somebody. We don’t have the video beforehand. I don’t know what’s going on, who is he talking to, he’s not just talking about Asian people period. He’s talking specifically to somebody — I don’t know what the dude said before. But just watching that clip…what I would want to say to him, is I hope that is not your feelings toward a whole set of people.”
“I hope that was just out of anger,” he continues. “I hope that was you being coked-up, drugged up, not in the right state of mind. I hope that’s not how you really feel, but if you do, fuck you. Suck a dick. If that’s how you truly feel, then fuck you. Eat a dick. But I hope he did it in a way he was upset, cause I know people say crazy shit when they’re upset. I’m not condoning it, but I know people can get upset.”
Mac explains that he’s seen Asian people get upset and resort to racist language, and it doesn’t always equate to deep-rooted racist sentiments. Still, he encourages Gunplay to think about he might feel had he been on the receiving end of such a vitriolic rant. “I want people to understand that power has a lot of words,” he says. “If you not a fucked up person, I want you to understand, the shit you say can cause some dumb muthafucka to push an old lady in the train track. An old Chinese lady. All because of some shit your stupid reckless-ass said.”
“I hope that is not how you really feel, and that you wouldn’t perpetuate something like that,” he concludes. “But if that is how you really feel toward my people, toward Asian people, then fuck you. Suck my dick.”
Check out Mac’s measured take on the Gunplay situation below.
Eminem tends to drop controversial and/or inflammatory lyrics on a regular basis, and now young TikTok users are trying to get the veteran rapper canceled. Those efforts haven’t been fruitful so far, though, as it has just led people to poke fun at Gen-Z. Now Lil Nas X (a TikTok star in his own right with nearly 10 million followers) has joined in on the fun.
In response to a widely derided freestyle from a millennial TikTok user, Nas shared his own freestyle, in which he raps. “Generation Z wants to cancel Eminem? [laughs] / Generation Z wants to cancel Eminem? [laughs] / Yeah [laughs], listen up, Generation / Z, you’re a generation of Z / Z, generation of Z.” He ends by trailing off with laughter that increasingly lacks in confidence.

This comes a couple months after Eminem dismissed cancel culture, saying, “With me, it’s literally like every f*cking every other day. I’m canceled for whatever the f*ck it was. It’s funny because I see some of the same people or sites who b*tched about things back then that I said and then going back now and saying, ‘Why can’t he be that again?’ What the f*ck? When I was that you had a problem with that, too. I understand some of the sh*t, but for the most part, like for people who just sit online and they feel like they need to b*tch about whatever it is to feel like they’re a part of something. With cancel culture, it’s like no one ever really gets canceled, though.”
