Young Thug Wants Kanye West To “Answer The Phone,” Might Be Collaborating Soon

by

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS is already one of the more hyped-up album releases of the year so far, and recent posts from Young Thug on social media hint that the album rollout’s not over yet. Moreover, he took to Instagram to ask Kanye West to “answer the f***ing phone, it’s business.” In addition, on Twitter, he made the same call to action despite the Chicago rapper’s absence on the platform. “Kanye doesn’t have a Twitter but somehow he’ll see this Tweet,” Thug tweeted, fueling further hype around a single from these two. Not only that, but some believe this may be for a deluxe version of the album, which certainly has a lot of potential.

Sure, you might be one of the people that thinks BUSINESS IS BUSINESS was not as good as people wanted it to be. Also, Kanye West is understandably not the most sought-after artist right now, at least when it comes to fans taking issue with his antics as of late. All that said, there’s no denying that it’s still exciting to think of what these two could cook up- or rather, what they recorded prior to Young Thug’s arrest that might see the light of day. Their repertoire includes “Highlights” from The Life Of Pablo, “Remote Control” on Donda, and the excellent (although still unreleased) leak “Bad Night.”

Of course, this is far from the first time Thugger’s shouted out the Yeezy creative in any capacity. Not only are there lyrical mentions (the most recent one appearing on “Wit Da Racks” on BUSINESS IS BUSINESS), but he has a whole song named after him on JEFFERY. While this has a lot of potential, it’s also unclear whether a previous collab would release or if Ye would add a verse or production to a Young Thug demo and rework it. Regardless, it’s the only feature the Atlanta trap legend asked for so far on social media, so a whole deluxe album might not even be in the cards.

Thugger’s Tweet At Ye

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old recently denied a diss towards another MC who wasn’t on the album: Saweetie. People misheard a bar on the track “Want Me Dead,” and he name-dropped another rapper in the process. Thug used social media a lot in the lead-up to, and post-release celebration of, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Fans don’t know whether this will stay the case for long, though they certainly hope so. For more news and the latest updates on Young Thug and Kanye West, come back to HNHH.

Lil Durk Answers Questions About YoungBoy (Kind Of), Shouts Out Morgan Wallen

by

Before his new album Almost Healed drops next week, it seems like Lil Durk has some beef to clear within the industry. Moreover, reports stemming from DJ Akademiks and Durk’s own Twitter account suggested that the Chicago MC squashed his beef with NBA YoungBoy. Furthermore, it hasn’t been strictly confirmed by either artist, but all signs point to “yes” on social media. However, that doesn’t mean that Durkio is going to spill all the beans on their alleged reconciliation. While getting briefly interviewed by a reporter on the street, he sort of answered a question about their beef without saying much at all.

“What beef?” Lil Durk replied incredulously to a woman’s question about YoungBoy. “Who? Shout out Morgan Wallen.” Then, the “Broadway Girls” artist got into his car without another word, leaving the reported (and fans) mostly in the dark. Still, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t want to keep fanning the flames of gossip, especially surrounding a feud. Maybe he simply wants his next album to speak for itself, and might open up in the future in a less impromptu scenario.

Lil Durk Shouts Out Morgan Wallen Instead Of Detailing YoungBoy Situation

Meanwhile, Lil Durk certainly has other collaborations to look forward to that have his die-hards and detractors alike quite excited. Not only that, but it should make for some incredible chemistry with one of the genre’s top dogs, who many might wrongfully assume wouldn’t go with Durk’s style. Him and J. Cole have been hard at work on a collaboration and accompanying music video. In fact, it was fans’ 100K comments on a post promoting it that led the 30-year-old to share Almost Healed‘s release date and cover art.

Regardless of any beef or de-escalation, these are two very different artists with their own careers to take care of. While a collab between then is unlikely, it would actually make for a pretty interesting combination of styles, fanbases, and appeals. What’s more is that YoungBoy just dropped an album this year as well, Don’t Try This At Home, which is actually his second of the year. No matter what’s going on between them, they are still two of the most hyped names to watch in the genre right now.

JID Is $2,000 Answer On “Jeopardy!”

by

JID recently entered another echelon of rap royalty, as he was an answer for a $2,000 question on Jeopardy! Moreover, the question was in the “Fight Songs” category and was the highest-scoring question in that field. Furthermore, the question posited a prompt and asked players to try to guess which rapper’s song they referenced. While many fans of the Atlanta MC might expect an established classic like “NEVER” or “Off Deez,” the prompt actually mentioned one of his biggest pop crossover collaborations. “‘Who the baddest?’” the prompt read. “‘It don’t matter ’cause we at your throat,’ this 3-letter guy raps on ‘Enemy,’ his collaboration with Imagine Dragons.”

After the show runners revealed the question, one player in particular was lightning-quick to give the correct answer. Justin exclaimed “Who’s JID?” as he laughed and gave a big smile to the host. “That’s right, you’re excited,” she replied. Given that the 32-year-old had arguably the best album of last year, it’s no wonder his fans feel so passionately about him. This joins the ranks of other famous rappers and rap songs who’ve appeared on the enduringly popular game show. However, JID’s inclusion is likely one of the most recent hip-hop references in the show’s history.

JID Joins The Jeopardy! Ranks

Furthermore, the “Workin Out” MC is also getting other extracurricular achievements under his belt. For example, he recently released the first single to Dreamville’s upcoming Creed III soundtrack. The track “Ma Boy” also features label mate Lute over an energetic and chilling beat. Both lyricists also display their talents with the pen as two of the collective’s most accomplished writers, which is saying a lot. While the soundtrack drops next week on the film’s theatrical release date of March 3rd, Bas just dropped another single for the project with Black Sheriff and Kel-P.

Meanwhile, many fans are hoping that JID gets back to one of his other trademark talents: freestyling. Recently, he revealed that Funk Flex’s meager response to his off-the-dome display dissuaded him from engaging in them again. However, after the legendary DJ called him one of his favorite rappers right now, it seems the two might run it back soon. Still, stick around on HNHH to hear the latest news, updates, and accomplishments from the one and only JID.
