Drake Might’ve Fired Back At A$AP Rocky On Recently Released “It’s Up”

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake seems to have to the last word (at least for now) in one of his many ongoing beefs. According to XXL, some bars on “It’s Up”, one of three songs released to The Boy’s finsta page and 100gigs.org, appear to be for A$AP Rocky. In the short closing verse, it reads something like this, “Knockin’ off the namebrand n****s in your crew / Heard you miss your dogs, now it’s long live who? Idiot“. Breaking it down, Drake targets the lesser-known members of the A$AP Mob and then ties that into the de facto leader’s 2013 project LONG.LIVE.A$AP.

We can certainly see this being a shot because Rocky was suspected to be subliminally firing away at Drizzy on his recent single “HIGHJACK”. “These n****s want my wife bad, the people want my next track/N****s swear they pimpin’, Scottie sippin’, get your wife back“. Obviously, this all ties into Drake’s past infatuation of Rocky’s now wife and mother to his two children, Rihanna. His constant clap backs at the Canadian enemy can certainly be looked at as warranted, though. Drake very possibly dissed the R&B queen last year on For All The Dogs.

Rocky made sure to remind his former collaborator on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands” just how bad he messed up. “Call up Pluto, Metro, should’ve put me on the first one / N****s swear they b**** the baddest, I just bagged the worst one / N****s in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’? / I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son“. With Drake currently the most recent one to diss, we are sure Rocky will do some more chirping when he drops DON’T BE DUMB on August 30.

What are your thoughts on Drake potentially clapping back at A$AP Rocky on his new song “It’s Up”? Is this your favorite track from the “100gigs for your headtop” release? Where do these bars rank amidst the disses between Drizzy and Rocky? How do you feel about him dropping all of this content?

A$AP Rocky Adorably Wishes Second Son Riot A Happy 1st Birthday With Photo Dump

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A$AP Rocky is just a few weeks away from his comeback project DON’T BE DUMB. The Harlem, New Yorker’s fanbase is more than ready and they have been for quite some time. They do not need to be reminded that the last album he put out was in 2018 with TESTING. However, there are valid reasons for the consistent rescheduling of his fourth studio effort. Rocky and Rihanna have been steadily growing their nucleus and did so just last year. They welcomed their second child, baby boy Riot, giving RZA a younger brother. That happened to be one year ago today that Riot Rose was born, meaning today is his birthday!

Naturally, Rocky went straight to social media several hours ago to celebrate him turning one years old. “HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO MY 2ND BORN SON RIOT ROSE MAYERS ”, he captioned the post. The hitmaker shared an adorable photo/video dump via Instagram of all of their cutest memories together. Tons of rappers and music industry names were in the comments to help wish Riot Rose an amazing day.

Additionally, his A$AP Mob mate, A$AP Twelvyy, showed his support for his partner in rhyme, “Happy Holiday Riot Squad”. This post from Rocky comes on the heels of his latest single “HIGHJACK”, one of the few singles from DON’T BE DUMB, which is due August 30.

A$AP Rocky Reportedly Takes More Shots at Drake on His New Album

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop rivalries, Drake and A$AP Rocky find themselves embroiled in a feud that shows no signs of slowing down. Despite Drake waving the white flag after Kendrick Lamar’s relentless assault, A$AP Rocky reportedly still has some shots left for him.

According to Hot97 DJ Kast One, Rocky hasn’t forgotten the swipes Drake took at him on “Push Ups,” his initial response to Kendrick’s declaration of war on “Like That.” Although the two rappers were at one point collaborators and appeared to be good friends, all that changed after A$AP Rocky began dating Rihanna — who Drake also formerly dated — and eventually had two kids with her. Drake seemingly lashed out at his old flame on his For All The Dogs song “Fear Of Heights,” after which, it seemed friendly feelings between him and Rocky went out the window.

Fans were sure Rocky aimed a line or two at Drake on Kid Cudi’s single “WOW” early this year, followed by another sneaky diss on Metro Boomin and Future’s We Still Don’t Trust You track “Show Of Hands.” If he continues to go in, the beleaguered Drake just might have to call in sick for the rest of the year.

“I heard A$AP Rocky definitely addressing a lot of the main topics that are happening out there right now,” Kast One told his fellow hosts. “Let’s just say the list keeps going on strong.” After being asked for clarification by Ebro Darden, who wondered if “Rocky is still on Drake’s list,” Kast One confirmed, “Oh, he’s gonna be cemented on the list after this.”

ASAP Rocky Confirms J Cole Collab Amidst Ongoing Drake Beef

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky is pulling out all the stops on his new album. He’s been working on it since last decade, and the list of collaborators he’s lined up is absurd. Don’t Be Dumb is slated to have production from the likes of Madlib, Pharrell, and The Alchemist, just to name a few. Slick Rick (!) and Rihanna have been rumored as potential features. DJ Kast One dropped by Hot 97 on July 26 to hype up the album. He claimed that another superstar will be featured on the album: J Cole.

DJ Kast One told Hot 97 he already heard Don’t Be Dumb. He also claimed that he heard a standout verse from Dreamville’s finest. “I heard J Cole,” he stated. “I heard songs being played.” The untitled, technically confirmed song will be the first collab between the rappers in over a decade. ASAP Rocky dropped a guest verse alongside Cole on the “TKO” remix from 2013. Justin Timberlake’s single also featured bars from Pusha T, in what now amounts to a nightmare blunt rotation for Drake.

ASAP Rocky And Cole Haven’t Worked Together In A Decade

ASAP Rocky and J Cole are generational peers. That’s part of what makes the impending collab so exciting. Well, one of the reasons. ASAP Rocky has been against Drake throughout 2024’s rap civil war. He dissed Drake on Future’s “Show of Hands,” and has stated he plans to do so again on Don’t Be Dumb. J Cole, on the other hand, is a former Drake ally. The rapper was on “First Person Shooter” with Drake, and his line about the “Big 3” started the whole mess. Cole was on Drake’s side until the “7 Minute Drill” debacle. The Dreamville star apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar and then seemingly changed sides. He appeared on the same Future and Metro Boomin album in which Rocky dissed Drake.

To make matters worse for the 6 God, ASAP Rocky plans to diss him again on Don’t Be Dumb. During the same Hot 97 preview, DJ Kast One confirmed that the rapper will be firing back at Drake over the bars he dropped on “Family Matters.” Evidently, J Cole had made the full transformation to being anti-Drake. It was theorized that he dissed the Toronto star on “Red Leather,” but knowingly appearing on an album with Drake disses removes the need for speculation. We’ve come a long way since “In the Morning.”

ASAP Rocky Will Respond To Drake Disses On “Don’t Be Dumb” Album

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky is in album mode. It’s been a while. Rocky’s last album, Testing, dropped in 2018, and since then, the landscape of hip-hop has changed. Hell, the landscape of hip-hop has changed in the last six months alone. Drake went to war with nearly every big star in the genre, including ASAP Rocky. The 6ix God threw shots at Rocky on the songs “Push Ups” and “Family Matters,” and even made reference to Rocky’s relationship with Rihanna. It’s been radio silence since those songs dropped, but it won’t be for much longer.

DJ Kast One went on Hot 97 to hype ASAP Rocky’s upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb. He assured fans that it will be worth the wait. He also claimed that Rocky is going to fire back at Drake with a few disses of his own. I heard ASAP Rocky definitely addressing a lot of the main topics that are happening out here right now,” Kast One asserted. Let’s just say, the list keeps going on strong.” He initially played coy about the beef between ASAP Rocky and Drake, which led Ebro to get clarification. “So you saying Rocky is still on Drake’s list is what you saying?,” the host asked.

ASAP Rocky Previously Dissed Drake On “Show Of Hands”

DJ Kast One did not hesitate to confirm. “He’s gonna be cemented on the list after this,” he claimed. It’s worth noting that ASAP Rocky has already dissed Drake on record. After the release of “Push Ups,” the Harlem superstar hopped on the Future and Metro Boomin song “Show of Hands.” Rocky referenced the mother of Drake’s child, Sophie Brussaux. He also alluded to sleeping with her before she got with the 6 God. “N**gas in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’. I smash before you birthed son, Flacko hit it first, son,” Rocky raps. “Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them. Heard you dropped your latest sh*t. Funny how it just came and went.”

Unfortunately, for ASAP Rocky, the diss did not go over well. Fans generally agreed that his criticisms were weak, especially given Drake’s romantic history with Rihanna. Drake even pointed this out on the “Family Matters” verse addressing Rocky. He even called out the rapper by his real name, “Rakim talkin’ sh*t again,” Drake spits. “Gassed ’cause you hit my BM first, n**ga, do the math, who I was hittin’ then?” The consensus was that Drake won the battle against ASAP Rocky, which means the pressure is on for the next response to be good. Don’t Be Dumb drops August 30.

A$AP Rocky Previews Upcoming Tyler, The Creator Collab At “DON’T BE DUMB” Listening Party

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Out of all of the hyped-up album releases for hip-hop in 2024, A$AP Rocky’s DON’T BE DUMB is very high on a lot of people’s lists. There was some hope that it would come last year but if we’re being honest, people have been waiting on some sort of project from him for years. Of course, the last full-length studio project we got was 2018’s Testing. But it seems that fans of his are finally going to get their hands on it soon, as Rocky announced it was going to be out on August 30 via a short teaser trailer. There has been some info in regard to the producers that are going to be on it, but not so much in terms of the rappers and singers. That is until yesterday when A$AP Rocky previewed a snippet that sees him working alongside his dear friend, Tyler, The Creator.

According to NFR Podcast, the New Yorker gave attendees at his DON’T BE DUMB listening party some sneak peeks of the album. This one seems to be making all the noise right now, as you can audibly hear Tyler in the clip below. From what it sounds like, the production appears to be pretty atmospheric, a signature of Rocky’s aesthetic. If this album and song see a release, it would be the longtime duo’s first in just about a year.

Future Rocky & Tyler Banger Inbound?

It would be a successor to “WHARF TALK”, a Tyler, The Creator track off of the Estate Sale version of CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST. Overall, this a tandem known for dropping consistent levels of greatness whenever their talents collide. Records like “Who Dat Boy”, “Potato Salad”, and “Telephone Calls” are all fire in their own way, and we can only imagine this DON’T BE DUMB joint will be more of the same. Hopefully, though, we do in fact wake up to the LP on “AWGEST 30TH”.

What are your thoughts on this new A$AP Rocky and Tyler, The Creator snippet? Do you think this will be one of their best team-ups, why or why not? Will Rocky actually drop DON’T BE DUMB on August 30? Who else do you want to see him work with on this album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding A$AP Rocky and Tyler, The Creator. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Kai Cenat FaceTimes A$AP Rocky On Twitch Stream

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat FaceTimed A$AP Rocky after meeting up with fellow A$AP Mob member Illz. Cenat was live on his Twitch stream when he ran into A$AP Illz, which quickly turned into Cenat on the phone with Rocky. The New York City natives exchanged pleasantries, as they had never met to that point, before hanging up the phone.

Cenat has been on live stream with some of the most popular names in entertainment. He recently collaborated with Kevin Hart, which went viral for several moments over the several hours they spent together. He spoke with LeBron James on FaceTime on that stream as well. The two of them met in real life during Team USA’s practice in Las Vegas. Neither party has ruled out the possibility of James appearing on Cenat’s channel. Although, it will probably have to wait a while as Team USA is in France for the Olympics.

Kai Cenat has had another banner year as a titan of Twitch. He recently went viral for a stunt he and popular YouTube creator MrBeast pulled off. On the Fourth of July, a replica of Cenat’s room went up in flames after fellow YouTuber ImDavisss lit fireworks in it. The video went viral, but Cenat and MrBeast, real name James Donaldson, had to explain that they did not really burn down Cenat’s actual room. Cenat has also become a prominent Elden Ring player. His livestream of him playing the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC pack lasted 166 hours and reportedly netted him over $400 thousand.

After nearly six years without a new album, A$AP Rocky finally announced something new. Rocky is releasing Don’t Be Dumb, his fourth effort, on August 30. The rapper-turned-fashion mogul premiered tracks from the album at a fashion show in June. Earlier this year, Rocky was caught in the crossfire of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle thanks to his own longstanding issues with Drake. He will look to dispel any notions that his music is “mid” when his next full-length work arrives late next month.
