Happy 57th Birthday To Brand Nubian Founder Grand Puba!

by
Grand Puba

On this day in Hip-Hop history, Brand Nubian founder Maxwell Dixon a.k.a. Grand Puba, was born today in 1966.

Grand Puba made his musical debut with the group Masters of Ceremony. The group’s first album Dynamite was released in 1988 and had an excellent critical reception. However, due to the lack of sales, the group disbanded shortly after the album’s release. This was when Puba emerged as the lead emcee of Brand Nubian.

Shortly after the 1990 release of the group’s debut, genre-less album One for All (which spanned reggae to Hip Hop to new jack swing), Grand Puba again parted ways from his group and embarked on a solo career. He recorded and released two albums, Reel to Reel, in 1992 and 2000 in 1995. Reel to Reel had much commercial success peaking at #28 on the Billboard 200 and toting the #1 hit single “360 Degrees (What Goes Around).” 2000 was also a success reaching the #48 spot on the Billboard 200 and its single “I Like It (I Wanna Be Where You Are)” hitting #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In 1997, Grand Puba returned to Brand Nubian, and the group released Foundation in 1998. This album marked the reunion of the four original members. It was the first time they appeared together since their debut. This was their most successful album as a group peaking at #59 on the Billboard 200 chart, and the single “Don’t Let It Go To Your Head” reached #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was their highest climbing track.

In 2001 Grand Puba released Understand This, and in 2009, he released his fourth solo album Retroactive featuring production from Q-Tip, Large Professor, and Kid Capri. Over the years, Grand Puba has worked with Beanie Sigel, Missy Elliot, Mary J. Blige, and more. He was even sampled on the hook on the 2Pac record “Old School.”

We here at The Source would like to wish Grand Puba a happy born day. May you see many more years of success and prosperity!

DDG Smokes The Pack Of Racist Podcaster’s Dead Mother After He Attacked Halle Bailey’s Look

by

DDG and Halle Bailey have become a power couple over these past few years. Although there are some people who think Bailey can “do better,” DDG remains her man. They seem to be very happy with one another, and that has yet to change. The two even have a child together, in one of the worst-kept secrets of all time. Throughout their relationship, the Youtuber-turned-rapper has always sought to protect Bailey. Whenever someone has something negative to say about her, you can be sure that he will clap back.

For instance, over the weekend, podcast Elijah Schaffer came out and said that there are a lot of “ugly” people in Hollywood now. He used an image of Halle Bailey as his example, claiming that her eyes are far apart and that she looks like ET the Extra-Terrestrial. If you go on Schaffer’s Twitter account, you can see that he has a very bizarre beef with black people as a whole. This has led to people calling him racist, although Schaffer refuses to acknowledge that he may be the problem here.

DDG Shows No Mercy

Following his comments about Bailey, someone found a picture of Schaffer and his mother. The image was shared to Twitter, with many calling Schaffer’s mom “ugly.” Schaffer clapped back saying that she was suffering from a disease that altered her appearance. DDG subsequently used this explanation against Schaffer and disrespected his dead mother for the world to see. “I’m smokin on yo dead ass mama,” the artist wrote. “That dumb bitch should’ve got a better doctor LMFAO.” He even posted a picture of himself smoking a blunt, with the mom’s face photoshopped to the end of it.

Needless to say, DDG stands up for the mother of his child. Although some may say he went too far, others will beg to differ. Let us know what you thought of the rapper’s response, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Bhad Bhabie Argued With Boyfriend Prior To Restaurant Brawl, And It Was All Caught On Video

by

Bhad Bhabie is someone who came to prominence thanks to her attitude. Overall, the journey began on Dr. Phil when she was known as the “catch me outside how bout that” girl. Subsequently, she continued to be a social media star of sorts. She eventually became a rapper, and now, she does her own thing, while still somehow making headlines. Recently, the star revealed that she was having a baby with her boyfriend Le Vaughn. The baby is coming very soon, although that hasn’t stopped her from getting into a bit of drama.

Yesterday, we reported on how Bhad Bhabie and her friends got into some sort of brawl at a restaurant in Hollywood. The entire encounter was caught on camera, and it seemed to be pretty wild. However, there is more footage out there that suggests there was more than meets the eye. Below, you can see a video from TMZ which showcases Bhabie getting into an argument with her man. The exchange seems to be quite heated, however, we have no clue what they may have been quarreling about.

Bhad Bhabie & Her Man

TMZ reports that the argument and the ensuing brawl are not correlated. Instead, “drunk” women allegedly provoked Bhad Bhabie’s table, and things got violent. There are witnesses who say Bhad Bhabie did not engage with the other women. Furthermore, it was said that the social media star and her boyfriend got physical with each other. At this juncture, there is no footage or other forms of evidence to back up these claims. In terms of the now infamous fight, it seems like things were stopped fairly quickly. Luckily, no one was badly injured.

With Bhabie ready to give birth, it is probably for the best that she avoids these kinds of encounters entirely over the next little while. Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists.
