PnB Rock Turns 32: Remembering Why He Was Able To Bring Great Vibes On Tracks Like “Lovin’”

The 2017 XXL Freshman Class is one of the best in recent memory. Sadly, we have tragically lost two of some of the very best along the way. XXXTENTACION and PnB Rock. Today, we celebrate what would have been the Philadelphia native’s 32nd birthday. Born Rakim Hasheem Allen on December 9, 1991, he was always able to provide listeners with great vibing music.

He was known by many for his hit song “Selfish” from his debut tape, GTTM: Goin Thru the Motions. But, he was much more than that. The R&B singer was a father to two beautiful daughters, Milan and Xuri Lee. Unfortunately, they will have to carry on without him after he was fatally shot during an armed robbery back in September 2022.

Relisten To “Lovin’” By PnB Rock And A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie

We wanted to take the time to look back at one of Rock’s best tracks, to help continue to keep his legacy in people’s minds. One of those we can never forget is “Lovin’.” This song, featuring his close friend A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, landed on his debut album Catch These Vibes back in 2017. It has some of the best writing and perhaps the best beat as well. The bouncy production almost gives a bit of a throwback vibe. We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to Rock’s family and friends.

What were your initial thoughts on PnB Rock’s track, “Lovin’,” from Catch These Vibes featuring A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie? Was this the best, or at least one of the top-tier songs from this project? Where does this cut rank amongst the rest of his hit songs? Was the 2017 XXL Freshman Class one of the best of all time? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for any news surrounding PnB Rock.

Quotable Lyrics:

Shawty, you been on my mind for so long
That I ain’t gone waste no time now that we’re all alone
Girl, I’m so glad you’re mine and you know
That I’ma treat your body right from head to toe
‘Cause it ain’t nothing like lovin’ you, lovin’ you, lovin’ you
It ain’t nothing like lovin’ you, lovin’ you, lovin’ you

DJ Khaled’s Birthday Wishes For His Wife

DK Khaled and his wife celebrate their birthdays pretty close to each other. Just last month was Khaled’s birthday and plenty of artists he’s worked with in the past emerged to wish him happy birthday. Rappers like Future and Raekwon showed the DJ and producer love for his big day. Even that came just a month after his son celebrated his 7th birthday in October.

Last month, DJ Khaled appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast where he made some claims that fans found suspicious. He claimed to have known Birdman and Lil Wayne before either of them were famous. While that may help explain how he got some of his A-list connections, many fans didn’t believe his story. Many pointed out the Wayne and Birdman themselves have claimed to know each other since long before Khaled says in his story. What do you think of DJ Khaled’s heartwarming birthday post for his wife? Let us know in the comment section below.

Travis Kelce Is Planning “Something Special” For Taylor Swift’s Birthday

Travis Kelce has reportedly is planning “something special” for Taylor Swift’s birthday. “He’s arranged a very intimate, romantic dinner just for the two of them, and is also trying to pull off a semi-surprise party with the help of some of her closest friends,” sources told Page Six. The pair has spent the best part of a week together. However, they have gone their separate ways for a couple of days. They are expected to reunite at the Chiefs game against the Bills this weekend.

Meanwhile, a jersey worn by Travis Kelce during a 2019 game in Mexico City has been sold at auction for $37K. “This is an all-time record for a Travis Kelce game-used item. He has always been popular but the success of the Chiefs, as well as the publicity he’s gotten around his relationship with Taylor Swift, has added to his popularity and awareness among collectors,” Goldin Auctions owner Ken Goldin told TMZ.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift used her TIME Person of the Year interview to reveal the inside story of her relationship with Travis Kelce. “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast. I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew. Which, I’m grateful for because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date,” Swift said.

Elsewhere in the interview, Swift expressed her amazement at the ability of NFL camera operators to find her at every Chiefs game she attends. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast. So I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads. Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life,” Swift noted.

Gunna Takes Out His New Girlfriend, P Litty, For Her Birthday, Fans Leave Harsh Comments

Gunna has been tearing it up this year charts-wise. His album that delved a little bit into the YSL RICO debacle, a Gift & a Curse, has been a pretty big success. There were a few quality tracks to pick from his seventh solo project. “rodeo dr” and “back to the moon,” are just a couple to dish out. Easily, though, the biggest highlight from it has to be “fukumean.”

It quickly became one of the catchiest songs of the year and might have been the track of the summer as well. What makes the track so accessible is the solid trap beat with Gunna’s slippery flows. Additionally, you have to throw in some of the quotables like the earworm “eeeyah” adlibs and kid vocals shouting in the background. Finally, you cannot forget the line, “I’m in this b**** with P Litty / QP, QP-ski.” If you did not know the one who performs “eeeyah” is Gunna’s new girfriend.

When Gunna references “P Litty,” that is the name of his new significant other. According to Hot 107.9, she models on Instagram and her real name is Mèlia. They have been spotted in public before, but the couple went out recently to celebrate her birthday. Gunna and Mèlia appeared to have been at a dinner spot and looked to be having a nice evening. The comments under The Shade Room‘s post were really going after her, though. One said, “Omg she look like everybody else.” Another went, “Not him cuffin a blow up doll.. This is not P at all.” People are going to say whatever online, but we are happy to see the couple enjoying each other.

What are your initial thoughts on Gunna’s new relationship with P Litty and taking her out for her birthday? Do you think the fans were way out of line for their comments about her and the pairing?

She opened up about the experience at Propper Daley’s “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” summit two years later. She explained she “had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions. It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention. Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion. An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.”

Juice WRLD Turns 25: He Had Everyone Enamored With What He Would Eventually Become On “Lucid Dreams”

Not every rapper who touches a microphone is destined to leave behind a lasting impact on the genre. There are just some who have a little extra something that almost every listener can get behind. One of those names was Juice WRLD. Born in the talent-rich city of Chicago back on December 2, 1998, Jarad Higgins was essentially an immediate success.

He broke through in 2018 with what many hip-hop heads and Juice fans would agree is his best album. It would be his debut LP, Goodbye & Good Riddance. It has almost officially been five years since its release on December 10. This may also be Juice’s hit-filled tracklist. You have tracks such as “All Girls Are The Same,” “Wasted” with Lil Uzi Vert, “Lean Wit Me,” and countless more. But, without a doubt, “Lucid Dreams” is Jarad’s magnum opus.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

It was the song that put him on the map. Especially, with Lyrical Lemonade assisting in the production of the music video, it was a surefire mega song. It turned out to be just that, with over 942 million views on YouTube, 2.3 plus billion streams on Spotify, and going Diamond in February of 2022. It was so difficult to choose just one song that encapsulates what Juice meant and still means for hip-hop. But, that in and of itself is why he is such an icon and will be forever entrenched in the lore of the genre. Juice would have turned 25 today and we at HNHH wanted to remember him for everything he has done. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go to his family and friends.

What were your initial thoughts on Juice WRLD’s hit song, “Lucid Dreams?” Where does this song rank for you amongst the rest of his biggest tracks? Will anyone else in the emo rap scene be able to replicate the impact he has left behind? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

I still see your shadows in my room
Can’t take back the love that I gave you
It’s to the point where I love and I hate you
And I cannot change you, so I must replace you, oh
Easier said than done, I thought you were the one
Listenin’ to my heart instead of my head

Tristan Thompson’s Baby Mama Maralee Nichols Celebrates Theo’s 2nd Birthday, Athlete Keeps Quiet

Getting caught in the act of cheating is embarrassing enough, but NBA star Tristan Thompson has done it enough times that he now is known as “Third Trimester Thompson.” When Khloe Kardashian was in labour with their firstborn, True, he was in an infidelity scandal that made national headlines. From there on, their co-parenting relationship was rocky, though they have made several attempts to reconcile over the years. More recently, the on-again-off-again couple decided to have another baby via surrogate. That experience was going to be a healing one for the reality star. However, the hurt struck her again after Thompson got another woman, Maralee Nichols, pregnant.

The Canadian initially tried to deny his role in the situation. After taking a paternity test he had no choice but to accept responsibility for, once again, breaking Kardashian’s heart. Their son, Tatum, spends a reasonable amount of time with the busy baller from what we’ve been, but Nichols’ baby boy, Theo, didn’t get so much as a birthday shoutout from Thompson when he turned two on Friday (December 1).

Thankfully, as The U.S. Sun reports, the 33-year-old remains a dedicated mother to her only child. On her Story, Nichols reposted an elegant maternity shot that shows her nude body swinging from a sheer piece of fabric. “Can’t believe my baby is two today 🥺❤, she wrote beneath it, reflecting on how much Theo has grown in that time. Even if Thompson isn’t interested in keeping up with his third child, many social media users are following the young boy’s journey into adolescence alongside Maralee.

Russell Wilson’s Birthday Gives Fans Adorable Family Photo With Ciara And The Kids

Russell Wilson offered another little snapshot into his family life as his wife Ciara shared an adorable photo from the veteran quarterback’s recent birthday. The photo sees the whole family gathered around a simple yet elegant birthday cake for Russ, with everyone beaming happily at the camera. Russell and Ciara have two children together, as well as having primary custody of Future Jr, Ciara’s son with Future. However, the couple is also expecting their third child, who will be born next year.

Wilson turned 35 on November 29. Wilson is the 10th oldest quarterback in the NFL, just behind Kirk Cousins and Ryan Tannehill. Of course, he’s practically baby-faced when compared to Aaron Rodgers, the league’s oldest quarterback. Rodgers, who is making a miraculous recovery from an Achilles tear, turned 40 on December 2.

Wilson Engineering Mid-Season Turnaround

Meanwhile, Wilson has completely turned around his fortunes on the football field. Many dismissed the Wilson-led Broncos after the started the season 1-5. It appeared as though the issues that had led them to finish 5-12 last season were persisting. Furthermore, many felt that Wilson simply wasn’t the player he had been in Seattle and that his once-great career was headed for an ignominious end. Cam’ron even went as far as to suggest that Wilson should ditch Ciara to refocus on football.

However, the Broncos now sit at 6-5 after rattling off five consecutive wins. This includes wins over playoff contenders such as the Chiefs, Bills, and Browns. Wilson finished the 2022 season with just 3524 passing yards. Through 11 games in 2023, he already has racked up 2199. Additionally, he has already eclipsed his touchdown mark, throwing 20 TDs through 11 games compared to 16 TDs in 15 games last season. If the Broncos’ white-hot pace continues, there may be more celebrations for the family in the near future. The Broncos are next in action against the Texans, another team that has had a mid-season reversal of fortune.
