October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fat Joe shared his advice for a 52-year-old aspiring rapper in a video on BET‘s YouTube page on Friday, telling the man to “stay retired.” The man explained that he already graduated from college, built a career, and started a family. However, now that his kids have grown up, he wants to get back to his dream of being a musician.

“Do me the biggest favor, and stay retired,” Joe said in the clip. He also shared advice for a man who is in love with a stripper, a person whose two best friends are beefing, and more.

It’s far from the first time Joe has provided his advice for fans online. Addressing other aspiring rappers in a video on social media back in May, Joe advised up-and-comers to get a full time job. “If your man said he raps and he don’t have a deal. There’s a problem with that,” he told his audience on Instagram Live. “It’s called plan A, get a job. Plan B, hope you make it. This has never changed. Some guys be like, ‘I gotta get a regular job?’ Bro, you gotta get a job! If you got kids and you got this girl that got an apartment and y’all sexin’ it up every day, you got to pay some bills.” From there, he quoted Nas’ hit song, “Life’s A Bitch.” He remarked, “And that dollar and a dream — ‘That buck that bought the bottle could’ve struck the lotto.’ Nah!”

At another time, Joe criticized signing onto a major label, describing the whole system as a “Ponzi scheme” during an interview with Wall Street Journal at The Future of Everything Festival. Check out Joe’s latest advice above.

Chrisean Rock Takes Baby To Studio To Tease New Music, Dismisses Fans’ Advice

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock’s new life as a mom proved to be quite chaotic but also exciting over the past few weeks. Between her everyday social media activity around Chrisean Jr. and her dramatic rekindling with the kid’s father Blueface, there’s a lot to take in, as expected with such a volatile and viral story as this. Still, that’s not the only thing that the Baddies star is focused on when it comes to making a name for herself. She’s also working hard on new music, as she showed off in a clip with her baby in the studio.

As far as the track itself, it’s pretty much a trap-R&B blend with booming bass and auto-tuned vocals. What really got people riled up on social media was that Chrisean Rock took the baby to the studio in the first place, which many saw as a red flag. As such, the Baltimore native took to social media once again to explain that Chrisean Jr. has earmuffs so that he isn’t that affected by the loud speakers. In addition, she told people to stop criticizing her parenting, which might happen less if she tones down all the revealing posts about it.

Of course, she can do whatever she wants with her Gram, but that means that this criticism will never truly stop. In another clip Chrisean Rock uploaded to social media, she addressed people giving her advice that she ultimately can’t take seriously. “What advice are you giving me, the f**k? Nine times out of ten, I got way more money than advice any of y’all giving me,” the Zeus Network star remarked.

“I don’t know what y’all talking about,” she continued. “How about y’all give yourselves advice to get some money? Where y’all money at, hm? Alright then, suck my d**k, yo. Y’all always get on me on how I hold my son. Trying to put pressure on a b***h like she doing something wrong.” For more news and the latest updates on Chrisean Rock, stick around on HNHH.

Cardi B Advises Chrisean Rock On Motherhood, Speaks On This Important Aspect

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s always heartening to see mothers support each other on their journey, especially in the often toxic world of pop culture. Moreover, Cardi B recently offered some words of advice to new mom Chrisean Rock when TMZ caught up with her in New York City. During her remarks, the Bronx MC spoke on the importance of keeping yourself calm through alone time, even if those windows of solitude are small. Also, she spoke on postpartum depression, and advised the Baddies star to watch out for early signs of it. As an experienced mom of young kids herself, Bardi’s words as a celebrity mom ring with resonance.

Specifically, Cardi B told Chrisean Rock that these two aspects of alone time and sadness often go hand in hand. Even if the full-time mom schedule overwhelms you, she remarked, it’s crucial to take some time for yourself when you’re feeling down or particularly emotional. This can be hard enough when you’re famous; never mind being responsible for Chrisean Jr. (yes, that’s his name) around the clock. After the “Bongos” rapper looked out for Chrisean, she also spoke briefly on people hating on her and Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single.

Cardi B Reaches Out To Fellow Mom Chrisean Rock

Unfortunately for Chrisean Rock, it’s hard to separate these worlds of fame and family, as she became so viral because of the combination of the two. Her public and volatile relationship with Blueface, the child’s father, may be no more, but they’ve fought a lot over their son’s care, their bond, and everything else under the sun. However, that seemed to get much better recently when the California rapper actually stood by Chrisean’s parenting in a series of recent tweets. Sure, things could still flip around- and probably will- but at least we know that the respect is there.

“I trust Chrisean with my son,” he stated. “That’s it, nobody else. She’s actually very nurturing [and] caring, good with kids no doubt. [She’s] just a lil impatient [and] the baby NEEDS patience. Can’t just get up [and] go, ‘No more I’m being patient as hell.’ You don’t think I wanna get up [and] go rn? Timing not right.” For more news on Chrisean Rock and Cardi B, log back into HNHH.

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Plies not be the most acclaimed or commercially successful rapper, but he sure knows how to sum up public opinion on the Internet. Moreover, his takes range from innocuous and comical to outrageous and scandalous, and it always makes for entertaining social media content. Fans can’t get enough of his obsession with Britney Spears, for example, a saga that became all the more interesting with news of her divorce. However, even for small statements and proclamations, the Florida native knows how to find the gold in the most unassuming of mines. For example, he recently responded to GloRilla’s tweet about relationship issues- and how she doesn’t want to hear about them and is just here for the fun.

“I prolly ain’t da bitch to call & vent to about you problems,” the Memphis MC wrote on Twitter. “But if you ever need some coochie baby I’m 1 call away STAMP DAT.” Plies was quick and chivalrous in his response. “We Need To Protect Big Glo!!!! I Swea!!!!,” he quote-tweeted, and GloRilla even responded with some crying-laughing emojis.

Plies & GloRilla Hilariously Speak On Relationship Drama On Twitter

Of course, this is far from the first time that the 24-year-old has commented on being aloof, free, and hedonistic in her youth. “Hey ladies, how are you?” GloRilla said in a fake English accent. “I’m in the car with my twin and I just want to let y’all know, be toxic for the rest of your 20s! You only get one life. Live your toxic 20s! You never get to be 20 years old, 21, 22, 23, 24, none of that ever again in your life. Be toxic!

“Because don’t get in your 30s thinking you can just go smashing tires and all this cr*zy s**t,” she continued. “You too old for that now. You too mature. Be toxic for the rest of your 20s. And if you’re delusional, turn that s**t up a notch! Enjoy the rest of your 20s. You only get to do this s**t one time.” For more news and the latest updates on Plies and GloRilla, keep checking in with HNHH.

Kendrick Lamar Speaks On 50 Cent Wisdom That Blew Him Away

August 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In an piece for Interview Magazine, Kendrick Lamar revealed the piece of advice from 50 Cent that has defined his outlook on life for years. “Now, I’ve always studied 50 Cent’s music and watched his interviews, and someone asked if he was a conscious artist,” Kendrick recalled. “He said, ‘Yeah, I’m a conscious artist because I have a conscience.”

He continued. “That shit blew me away. It gave me a different perspective — 50 drops a lot of jewels that give me perspective, but that one right there gave me a sense of, okay, a lot of artists live and know how to project duality. That’s the true gift, because that’s what life is about in its wholeness. When I seen that I said, ‘I can relate to that,’ and what you’re saying is confirmation that that’s still alive. It’s really dope to hear another artist say it. Lets us know we not crazy.”

50 Cent Has Respect For Kendrick

There has only ever been one collab between 50 Cent and Kendrick. In 2013, the pair dropped “We Up”. However, despite their careers diverging, Fif has a lot of respect for Kendrick. “I love Kendrick,” he said. “Obviously there is a huge difference in the two of us, in our characters, and the way we present ourselves ’cause to me he possesses the ability to appear like he didn’t know this was going to happen,” he told XXL back in 2013.

He continued. “There’s a level of confidence required for you to withstand the level of doubt, and I had so much doubt prior to it actually working for me, that I would appear at points a little arrogant. Like, ‘I knew it was going to work, because it took you so long to figure it out. I told you it was hot.’ And Kendrick will give you that energy that’s like, ‘This is great. This is really happening.’ Every time I’m around him, that’s what it feels like.”

Plies Shares Wild Take About Older Women’s Sexual Desires Compared To Young Women

August 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Plies is quite the social media personality, crossing over into many pop culture areas with some hilarious takes and perspectives. For example, his intense fandom of Britney Spears’ dancing videos seemed to get even more passionate when news broke of her divorce. However, the rapper is also perfectly prone to dropping wild statements of his own with no need to tie it into some larger phenomenon. Often, it makes for pretty confusing and comical content, albeit one that’s bound to ruffle some feathers here and there because of just how unfiltered it is. For example, recently the Florida native took to Twitter to share his thoughts on women’s… intimate desires these days, comparing their 20s to their 40s to questionable results.

“Women In They 20’s & Early 30’s Ain’t Horny No More!!!” Plies wrote on the social media platform. “They Just Wanna Travel, Spend Money & Be Outside!! If U A Man & Looking For A Freak U Better Find U Somebody Late 30’s & In They 40’s. B/c Them The Ones Know They On They Way Out & That P***y Soon To Stop Workin! [laughing emoji].”

Plies Once Again Amuses Twitter With Wild Assertion

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Seems like a misguided and kind of nasty take, but maybe Plies is speaking from personal experience here. Regardless, it still prompted plenty of people to debate this in the replies and in comments sections of coverage of the post. But there’s no way this will overshadow the 47-year-old’s hilarious commentary on Donald Trump’s arrest and mugshot. “The Look U Give When U Been Yelling ‘Lock Her Up’ & ‘The Biden Crime Family’… But U The B***h That’s Really The Criminal!!!!” he captioned his repost of the now infamous picture. “U Can Fool Everybody But God!!!!”

“I Will Not Be Referring To Donald J Trump By His Name Anymore!!!” he shared in another message. “From Here On Out I Will Be Referring To Him As ‘Inmate P01135809.’ The Only Way Some Of Y’all Will Ever Say F**k Trump! Is If He Told Y’all To Start Taking Care Of Y’all Kids!!!! At That Point, Y’all Would Say ‘F**k Bruh A N***a Ain’t Need Dem F**k A** $1500 Anyway’!!!” For more news and the latest wild updates from Plies, stick around on HNHH.

Nas Shares Sage Advice For Young Artists Dealing With Conflict

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nas discussed how young rappers handle conflict with other artists in hip-hop during a recent interview with Billboard. While discussing the dilemma, he shared some sage advice for up-and-comers in the industry.

“The streets are the streets. We listen to music from people directly from those circumstances,” he said. “Young people making the hit records are telling you what’s happening: education, disease, miseducation. Life is a tough test.”

Nas & Hit-Boy Celebrate Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary

He continued: “As they get successful, they have to come into their senses on their own. When you look at hip-hop’s history, you see all the companies and empires that fell because of stupidity. If they see that, they have to realize they are the next one if they don’t change. […] It’s their decision and their maturity level, and when they are going to figure it out because time is ticking — the next thing you know, you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just pray for them and hope for the best because talking to them is one thing, but they have to be ready for it. Sometimes they have to learn on their own.”

Nas also discussed how he’s continued to put out new music well into his 40s. In doing so, he shared advice for rappers of his generation as well. “I want more people to join me from my era; release your records and work hard on them shits,” he said. “I want to hear how people feel, and I want to hear their art, I don’t want to hear the trends, I want to hear the art. Express it, do it and be free. That’s what I’m trying to give to the game now.”

The comments come after the release of Nas’ latest album, Magic 2, on which he collaborated for a fifth consecutive time with producer Hit-Boy. The album additionally contains guest appearances from 50 Cent, who is also well into his 40s.

July 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A new clip of Drake’s dad, Dennis Graham, has been circulating recently. In the clip, a fan calls out to the father as he exits a vehicle, asking him a strange question. “Do you think I’m pretty enough to have a child one day?” the supporter asks him. “Keep f***ing,” Graham then responds candidly. The awkward interaction has social media users praising him for his straightforward tip.

Drake, on the other hand, was recently spotted shooting hoops with one of the owners of the luxury brand Chrome Hearts. He and Laurie Lynn Stark go head to head in a friendly competition as shown in a new clip. Drake has previously collaborated with the brand to promote his 2021 album, Certified Lover Boy.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Drake is currently on his “It’s All A Blur” tour alongside 21 Savage. Recently, he shared some new details of what the two of them have in the works. He’s been teasing his new For All The Dogs LP for some time now, but fans have heard little of 21 Savage’s latest venture. Drake told his crowd at a recent show that “Both albums [are] on the way.” The artist’s claim has fans eagerly-awaiting the two projects, and anticipating more information.

At one of Drake’s other recent tour stops, a fan threw a bra at him during the performance, prompting him to inspect the garment. The well-endowed fan, later confirmed to be Veronica Correia, was then discovered by internet sleuths. The 21-year-old recently told TMZ that she was confident her gesture would get the artist’s attention. “I just knew he was gonna pick it up if I threw it right at his feet. There was no way he was gonna walk by it,” she explained. She also went on to reveal that amid the ordeal, she’s gotten noticed by Playboy, who reportedly reached out to her for a collaboration.

Missy Elliott Defends Flyana Boss Amid Criticism Over Their Music Videos

July 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Missy Elliott came to the defense of the duo, Flyana Boss, on Twitter, earlier this week. When fans called into question the repeated use of a similar format for their music videos, Missy explained that consistency is part of the marketing strategy for many young artists.

“This old school tactic if you do a bunch of things you confuse the audience,” Missy replied to a viral tweet questioning the repetition. “They don’t know who you are. That’s why most successful artist have eras and for that era they consistently do the same style and sound so you build a particular fan base.”

She followed up with an example from her own career: “Example my 1st album I wore FingerWaves the entire time. My sound was a futuristic vibe even down to the way I danced it was a jerky move. But all the elements established the type of artist I was… you must be consistent when you are a new artist.”

From there, the original account that posted the criticism thanked Missy for her constructive responses. In reply, Missy wrote: “Of course my love we are here to help each other grow and learn… I’m glad you mentioned it because I’m sure others may of thought the same but always remember a wise person ask questions! So you are one with wisdom.”

Missy Discusses The Topic With Fans

In another back-and-forth, a user asked Missy to elaborate on whether consistency for an artist early in their career applies to the sound of their music as well. “I feel you should create a sound 1st so ppl can attach that sound to the artist and it become your signature,” she shared in response. “Once the consumer know your sound then you can experiment. TeddyRiley he had the new Jack swing sound. Prince always used that flair drum it was his signature.” Check out the back-and-forths on Twitter below.
