Lupe Fiasco Drops Coachella-Inspired Single “Indio” Ahead Of Upcoming Album

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lupe Fiasco has been playing the role of pot stirrer over the past few weeks or so. The legendary lyricist from the Windy City has been practically egging on Kendrick Lamar to respond to him. The “Show Goes On” MC cleared up the meaning behind a string of tweets that he was one of the rappers to apologize publicly to K-Dot. Essentially, he was really walking back his decision because he felt he did not need to be involved. He did not try to deny that he felt Lamar is just “solid.” Lupe Fiasco also subliminally took shots at Lamar during his time on the Coachella stage, and his new single “Indio” is partially based on that.

In the middle of his performance, Lupe announced that he is willing to go toe to toe with any rapper. “I don’t give a f*** how many records you sold. If you want smoke, I swear on my muthaf***in soul, I will walk through n****s. I will chew up n****s, I will body muthaf***as,” Lupe exclaimed. Also during his time slot, the prideful rapper announced his new album Samurai is going to be out sometime this summer, according to HipHopNMore.

So far, he has dropped “LLC,” a lyrically dense track showcasing his elite pen game. This could be the first single for Samurai and now we might have the second with “Indio.” Its another braggadocious statement from Lupe, with bars like, “At the very least, at least the n****s knew your name / And they be coming out the woodwork / Telling wolves that a brick ain’t how a wood work / Lowkey I been on a sweep.” The production, contrastingly, is very mellow and features a chill guitar loop.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Indio” by Lupe Fiasco? Are you excited for Lupe’s upcoming album Samurai after hearing this, why or why not? Is this the better teaser track for the record? Do you think he has been too harsh on Kendrick Lamar as of late? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

I take my wagyu on the top floor
Then I take it slow like I’ma Wock four
What’s the point if we ain’t poppin’ off?
Got ya residue, that s*** ain’t washing off
I ain’t worried ’bout your top speed
Give you the Martin, want the Luther or the Lockheed?

What Songs Can You Expect Kid Cudi To Perform At Coachella 2024?

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The first weekend of Coachella 2024 was full of surprises, and we already have our first unexpected development of the second weekend: It was just announced that Kid Cudi has been added to the lineup.

Cudi’s performance is scheduled for Sunday, April 21, at the Sahara Stage from 5:10 to 5:50 p.m. PT. So, we know the “who” and the “when,” but the “what” still remains, the “what” being what songs he’s going to perform when he takes the stage.

What Songs Can You Expect Kid Cudi To Perform At Coachella 2024?

Cudi has his Insano World Tour coming up, but that doesn’t start until June, so we don’t know what the setlist looks like yet. A recent festival setlist is probably a good precedent to indicate what Cudi’s Coachella setlist could look like. So, here’s the setlist from his appearance at ComplexCon last November (via setlist.fm):

1. “Ill What I Bleed”
2. “Porsche Topless”
3. “Keep Bouncin’”
4. “Tequila Shots”
5. “She Knows This”
6. “Wow”
7. “Soundtrack 2 My Life”
8. “Solo Dolo (Nightmare)”
9. “Sky Might Fall”
10. “Heart Of A Lion”
11. “Most Ain’t Dennis”
12. “At The Party”
13. “Ghost!”
14. “Memories “(David Guetta cover)
15. “Pursuit Of Happiness (Nightmare)” (Steve Aoki remix)”
16. “Superboy”

However, Cudi has released two albums, Insano and Insano (Nitro Mega), since then, so expect songs from those projects to be incorporated, too.

Kid Cudi To Perform At Second Weekend Of Coachella

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi has been enjoying a lot of well-earned success in the year of 2024. The Cleveland, Ohio multi-hyphenate helped bring some massive hype back to the genre at the beginning of the year. He dropped INSANO, his pushed back but still eagerly awaited album that a fair number of bangers. Then, just about a month later he delivered on his promise of a second set of tracks called INSANO (NITRO MEGA). That saw him go back to more familiar sounds from Scott Mescudi that we have come to appreciate him for. Additionally, the multi-talent is living up to that title, as he will have a role in the new Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off Paramount+ series called Knuckles.

According to multiple sources, he will play Agent Mason in the Sonic villain’s dedicated show. It is said to premiere on the streaming platform on April 26, 2024. So yes, Kid Cudi has a lot going on, but he can also add Coachella to that list now. The music and arts festival announced it just yesterday and he will be performing on the last day, which is Sunday April 21.

According to the schedule that Cudi reposted to his Instagram, he will be hitting the stage from 5:10 to 5:50. “INSANO BOY IS COMIN ,” Kid Cudi wrote. More specifically, it will take place at the Sahara Tent and he wants to know, “Who’s coming??” There is no clear indication on who he is replacing, but fans are certainly ready for the rage. One fan wrote back to Cudi, “No water bottles this time guys ” Another feels the same way, “Never had Coachella fomo till now…”

What are your thoughts on Kid Cudi being added to the Coachella lineup for its second weekend? Who do you think he is replacing? Will he have one of the bigger crowds this coming weekend, why or why not? Which songs should he perform? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Will Smith Surprises Fans at Coachella, Joining J. Balvin Onstage For ‘Men in Black’ Performance

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Will Smith unexpectedly appeared onstage at Coachella with Latin star J Balvin on Sunday night. The performance was themed around UFOs, and Smith was dressed full on “Men in Black,” channeling his iconic character’s signature sunglasses no less as they performed the title track of the 1997 sci-fi action film.

The Bad Boy actor’s appearance was not long, but Smith, who is no stranger to rocking a moment on stage, made a memorable performance, ending the set which concluded with Balvin dragged off stage by black-suit-clad dancers while Smith pulled out a “Neuralyzer,” which was the famous memory-eraser device from the film. Balvin actually returned for another song, for a version of his hit “In Da Ghetto” with his dancers, costumed in alien garb, with big green and black eyes.

Balvin, who likes big outlandish stages arose on what Variety described as “a platform from beneath the stage, underneath a giant mock-UFO that looked like a cross between the evil spaceship” from the Jordan Peele film “Nope.”

This isn’t Balvin’s first Coachella performance. In 2019, his set memorably jumpstarted the huge presence of Latin music at the festival that year. That year was a big one for the music festival in the desert as it featured performances from at the time rising stars Bad Bunny and Rosalía. At the end of his set, Balvin, who is Colombian, professed how proud he was to see and hear so many artists performing in Spanish at the world’s biggest music festival. Nowadays, it is more so expected, and much of that credit goes to J Balvin and his peers, who continue to electrify Coachella every year.

Were Lil Baby & Dreezy At Coachella Together? Internet Investigators Think So

April 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The first round of Coachella 2024 is complete. Headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator, and Doja Cat went above and beyond to entertain audiences. There’s still more to be enjoyed this coming weekend. Before that, social media sleuths are unpacking all the new content making its way onto Instagram. Specifically, some of them think that Lil Baby and Dreezy might be spending time together after they appeared to be at the same house while attending the festival.

On Monday (April 15), the My Turn artist shared a new photo dump from Coachella, captioned, “Told My Mama Ain’t No Mo Getting Put Out .” Just hours later, Dreezy posted a video with a similar background to her IG Story, immediately raising eyebrows. “He was helping her with the groceries,” one user joked, referencing Lil Meech’s excuse when he was seemingly caught cheating on Summer Walker. “He like them dark skin and petite, it makes me sad but I respect it ,” another said, speculating what Baby’s type might be.

Dreezy and Lil Baby Both Enjoyed Their Time at Coachella, but Were They There Together?

Interestingly, it was only a few days ago that the Atlanta-based star was outside with his co-parent, Jayda Cheaves. Those two have a notably rocky relationship history, with the influencer previously suggesting that giving Baby another chance to win her over left her feeling metaphorically “shot” from all the emotional turmoil she had to endure.

Rappers Respond to the Circulating Rumours

When it came time for them to address the gossip, both entertainers had something to say. “Same house, different days. Y’all be reaching [too] hard,” Lil Baby wrote beneath @theshaderoom’s post comparing his Coachella weekend one activities with Dreezy’s. Before that, she wrote, “ Y’all are reaching! That’s the homie!!” Are you convinced that the MCs are telling the truth? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Lupe Fiasco Is Hungry For Rap Beef Amidst Big Three Battle

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lupe Fiasco is still going strong. The Chicago emcee may be a twenty-year veteran in the rap game, but his skills are sharp as ever. He’s also experiencing a resurgence in popularity, as evidenced by his recent performance at Coachella. Lupe ran through his classic hits, and then paused his set at one point to make a bold announcement. Drake and Kendrick Lamar may be the top of the food chain in terms of relevance, but Lupe asserted that he would demolish any current rapper in a battle.

It gets better. Lupe Fiasco not only promised to demolish any rapper who stepped to him, but made it clear that he wants it to happen. He’s ready for the smoke. “I don’t give a f**k how many records you sold,” he told the Coachella audience. “If you want smoke, I swear on my muthaf**kin soul, I will walk through n***as. I will chew up n***as, I will body muthaf**kas. Lupe then ups the ante by calling out artists like Tyler, The Creator and Bad Bunny. “I don’t care,” he added. “I do this s**t for real.”

Lupe Fiasco Promises To “Chew Up” Any Rapper

It’s not a stretch to connect Lupe’s comments with the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef. Lupe has had heated exchanges with Lamar in the past, and he even tweeted about the Compton rapper on April 8. The competitive streak carried over to X (formerly Twitter), where Lupe quote tweeted his Coachella performance and doubled down on his promise to destroy any and all rappers.

“Had to add my little comment to the current narrative” Lupe wrote. “Folks been sideways on socials and in the media at me all week like I won’t casually rap these boys and girls into the shadow realm. Either spawn in and smoke it up or let me finish watching these cybertruck reviews.”

The cybertruck line is a reference to Lupe Fiasco’s latest single, “LLC.” The Chicago rapper absolutely skates on the track, taking others to task for being being false prophets and mocking those who take his skills for granted. “Hawaiian lectures in Madagascar raps,” he spits. “Should I get the Cybertruck or bring a gas car back?” Only time will tell if there’s a rapper brave enough to give Lupe the beef he wants.

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox’s relationship has been turbulent for much of the time its unfolded in the public eye. Last month, Fox confirmed that the pair’s engagement had officially ended and it’s been on the mind of interviewers talking to her ever since. Over the weekend, she was in attendance at Coachella. Machine Gun Kelly famously claimed that he was banned from the festival for unspecified reasons. But that didn’t stop an interviewer talking to Fox from asking a question that got fans thinking about mgk.

During a conversation with E! News, she was asked to give her best advice to single people. “I don’t know if I’m the best person to give advice, because my advice is like just learn a skill or develop a hobby,“ and do not waste your energy on boys. All they’re going to do is drain you. Just move on. Invest in yourself,” Fox replied. The comments got plenty of attention online as fans reacted to what she had to say. That became the case even more when Machine Gun Kelly weighed in with his thoughts. He commented “PREACH” on a clip of the interview that Fox reposted to her Instagram, prompting fan confusion. Check out his comment below.

Earlier this year, mgk stunned fans by revealing his new tattoo. He took to Instagram to show off a massive area of his arms and chest that had been completely blacked out. A few weeks later he took fans behind the scenes on the painful and exhaustive process. Plenty of his fans rejected the new tat as it covered up some of the ink they had come to know and love.

What do you think of Machine Gun Kelly’s vague response to Megan Fox’s comments about not wasting energy on boys? Do you think her comments were a veiled critique at MGK? Let us know in the comment section below.
