Kanye West Unleashed “Yeezus” 10 Years Ago: Stream “Hold My Liquor” To Celebrate

Kanye West is in a wildly different place than he was ten years ago. In 2013, he returned to solo albums after a Jay-Z collab project and a G.O.O.D. Music compilation with one mission: erase his board and start over with a vengeance. His vehicle for that was that year’s Yeezus, an abrasive, industrial, and energetically relentless album that released a decade ago today. While hip-hop had already turned to a more experimental edge before, Ye’s 10-track effort brought those innovations to the mainstream in a big way. However, at the time, “Hold My Liquor” was among the most boundary-pushing on the tracklist, yet recent years are what have given it its elevated status in his discography.

To start, the features from Bon Iver and Chief Keef match the ghostly vibe of the track incredibly well. While Justin Vernon’s intro and bridge are a lost and ominous reflection of the indulgent lifestyle the song portrays, Sosa’s contributions bask in that hedonism rather than lament it. It’s an effective contrast, and one that the Chicago MC highlight in his long verse as well. But of course, Yeezus isn’t about the lyrics most of the time (as moments like the “sweet and sour sauce” line on “I’m In It” prove). Rather, the production on this track represents some of the most progressive, electronic-inspired, and otherworldly that Kanye West has ever worked with. Moreover, there are soaring guitars from Mike Dean, pulsating bass and synths that feel like a heartbeat, moments where the percussion melts like the bridge, and atmospheric synthesizers.

Kanye West’s “Hold My Liquor” Turns 10 Years Old Alongside Yeezus

On top of that, it’s filled with small metallic and distorted elements like the wail at the end of Kanye West’s verse lines. Overall, “Hold My Liquor” makes for a journey of a track on Yeezus that tries to take control of Ye’s destructive lifestyle with bold confidence. It’s a shame that he unfortunately continues to exhibit the most unrestrained parts of that primal nature in a negative way these days, but that’s also what makes the album so compelling: it was his darkest affirmation yet, but one that by its end displayed a hope that things would get better soon. Hopefully that’s still in the cards. Let us know your favorite Yeezus track to celebrate its tenth anniversary down in the comments. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.

Quotable Lyrics
Still ain’t learn me no manners
You love me when I ain’t sober
You love me when I’m hungover
Even when I blow doja

Chief Keef Fan Dumpster Dives To Sell His Used Double Cups On eBay

When it comes to hip-hop fanbases, few groups are as die-hard as Chief Keef’s. The Chicago rap pioneer’s influence is still omnipresent, and fans are always waiting for his next musical moves. However, others are more opportunistic and see dollar signs where the MC himself just sees some dirty cups. Moreover, a fan gathered a few of his used double styrofoam cups and put them up for sale on eBay. They must really “Love Sosa,” as many have joked, but the price is no laughing matter. The bid started at $425, and rose all the way to over $10K.

What’s more is that even a video was captured of the snatch, with the seller literally dumpster diving for TikTok (fortunately, there wasn’t a lot of trash in there). Interestingly, this is actually their second attempt at selling the cups on the platform, as eBay took the original listing down, which reached $15K bids. Presumably, the website did not appreciate the drug-related items appearing on their storefront. Still, the new listing states that they’re not related to substances at all. For those who saw the video of Chief Keef pulling up to a dumpster in his Scooby-Doo-themed Lamborghini, they can identify the cap.

Chief Keef Fan Goes The Extra Mile For His Double Cups

Regardless, this is just one of many examples of Sosa fans going hard for him in wild and bizarre contexts. For example, a recent video of a man getting arrested had a pretty funny Easter egg in there for Chief Keef fanatics. As policemen handcuffed him, he boasted about the fact that he had just gotten out of jail on bond, and will happily do it again. “‘But I’m bonding right out, I ain’t broke,’” he rapped during the incident, which are lyrics from his classic hit “Earned It.” “‘N***as ain’t getting no money, it ain’t a joke.’” On the other hand, even stars like Gervonta Davis give the “Racks Stuffed Inna Couch” MC his flowers.

Meanwhile, other more famous fans of the 27-year-old sometimes reach him, and other times fail to do so. Adin Ross recently tried to get him to play Minecraft with him to no avail. He’s more elusive than you’d think, hence why fans would dumpster dive for his belongings. For the latest news and updates on Chief Keef, come back to HNHH.

Adin Ross Hilariously Fails At Getting Chief Keef To Play Minecraft

Adin Ross is easily one of the biggest stars on the internet. Overall, he was the King of Twitch for a while. However, that designation now belongs to Kai Cenat. Following a string of bans, Ross decided to take his talents to Kick, a platform created by fellow streamer Trainwrecks. Although, this move has not come without some controversy. Kick is known for its lackadaisical enforcement of its terms of service, which has allowed Adin to get a little crazy. While his fans are okay with this, others have called him out for his behavior.

Recently, Ross has found himself at the center of some controversies when it comes to copyright strikes. However, from a behavioral standpoint, he has chilled out a bit. At this point, he is just looking to get in the good graces of his fans again. That means collaborating with artists like he used to do in the past. Some of the freestyles that would go down on his stream were legendary, although they haven’t happened in well over a year. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that Adin Ross would be looking to link up with Chief Keef.

Adin Ross x Chief Keef

In the video clip above, reposted by Our Generation Music, you can see Ross on a phone call with Chief Keef. Overall, the two seem to be quite jovial with one another. However, Adin Ross hilariously gets rejected upon asking Keek for a favor. Essentially, Ross wanted to play Minecraft with the artist. Although Chief Keef wanted to do anything but that as he offers a hilarious offer. Subsequently, Adin puts on a cringe baby voice. As you can imagine, Chief Keef wanted nothing to do with that. Instead, Ross changed the subject, saying he needs to visit sometime.

If Adin Ross were to have rappers on his stream again, it would go a long way for restoring his popularity. Moreover, we’re sure Kick would appreciate the publicity. For now, however, Ross will have to continue to help build this platform which is going up against a giant. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below.

Chief Keef’s BM Claims He Got Bhad Bhabie Pregnant As A Teenager

Recently, Bhad Bhabie spoke on her relationship with Chief Keef, and even though it’s no more, people still reacted incredulously to it. Moreover, a lot of people had an issue with the age gap between them, connecting the dots and suspecting foul play. However, all of that just got some fuel added thanks to Sosa’s baby mama, Slim Danger. She alleged on her Instagram Story that the Chicago rapper actually got the Dr. Phil alum pregnant when she was just a teenager. “Bhad tell them how Keef got u pregnant while u was a teenager…” she posted in a simple Story message.

It will be interesting to see how Bhad Bhabie responds to these claims, as she already exploded on haters on Twitter. Still, she then deleted them, so perhaps she either put it out there quickly or wanted to pull back. “Wait I’m mad confused,” she began concerning Chief Keef. “20 and 27 is weird but 30 and 37 isn’t? Calling someone a pedophile isn’t just something you say to troll or talk s**t. It’s disrespectful asf. I can’t stand the mf but I’m not the type of person to let someone’s name b ruined with lies. Dead that s**t. Imma tell the real every time no matter what it’s ab or what terms we on. I know what it’s like to have your name ruined with lies.

Chief Keef’s BM Says He Got A Teenage Bhad Bhabie Pregnant

“Just bc he knew me before I was 18 doesn’t mean it was like that,” she continued. “Y’all wouldn’t understand how we were and that don’t mean he groomed me either. I’m in a new relationship now and happy asf. I don’t care to keep feeding into the bulls**t. But both me and Sosa characters got played with badly today. I’m not okay w it. He know I wouldn’t do not spiteful weird s**t like that. I was more mad ab how I looked like a weird b***h, I let y’all in on some of it bc I f***ed up and called him that on here, then I had to let y’all know something bc y’all start putting 2+2 and getting 5 if I don’t. I f***ed up, s**t woulda never escalated to this if I wouldn’t had did that from the jump on some drunk mad s**t.”

Meanwhile, it’s not the first time Slim Danger recently called out Chief Keef. She and her new rapper boyfriend threatened him on Instagram Live. In particular, her boyfriend said that he would “smack the f**k out Chief Keef.” Perhaps this isn’t the end of this story. On that note, return to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Bhad Bhabie and Chief Keef.

Bhad Bhabie Rants About Chief Keef On Twitter

Bhad Bhabie has taken to Twitter to rant about something once again. This time, it’s about her relationship with her former beau Chief Keef. Back in February, Bhabie took to Twitter to express her love for Chief Keef. Some of her tweets about him remain on her page. She asked fans to tell Keef that she is sorry and loves him, adding a teary-eyed emoji. She also said that he hates her, but it’s okay because she will be back, and added a kissing emoji. However, some outlets reported that she had also tweeted that Chief Keef is the only person she will ever love.

Just last week, Bhad Bhabie spoke further about the relationship. In an interview with Emily Ratajkowski, she confessed that she has five or six tattoos dedicated to Keef. “I have one guy that managed to make it six times, five or six,” she said. The guy she is referring to is, of course, Chief Keef. “So, I have Chief Keef’s birthday, his last name, his name, his nickname, and I have ‘CK’ on my ankle, then I have his last name right here,” Bhabie revealed. “Actually, I just covered his birthday, and then I have ‘So’ on my ear, and then I have ‘Keef’ on my wrist.”

Bhad Bhabie Has Had Enough

Bhad Bhabie and Chief Keef may not be together anymore, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to let people slander his name. In response to many pointing out that they thought that Keef “groomed” her and was a pedophile, she took to Twitter to dispel the rumors. “Calling someone a pedophile isn’t something you just say to troll or talk sh*t. It’s disrespectful [as f*ck],” she said in his defense. “I can’t stand the [motherf*cker] but I’m not the type of person to let someone’s name [be] ruined with lies. Dead that sh*t.”

In an Instagram post about the rant by The Shade Room, many people seemed to disagree with Bhabie’s assessment of the situation. “20 is the new 16 baby,” said one commenter. “You was fresh outta high school he could have had his master’s in 2 different fields.” Others chimed in to agree. “Girl you was definitely under 18 [f*cking with] sosa like bye,” said another comment. Many of those who commented pointed out that Bhad Bhabie was about 15 when she met Chief Keef. What do you think about the situation? Is Bhabie in the right here? Sound off in the comments!

Bhad Bhabie Has Six Chief Keef Tattoos

Bhad Bhabie and Chief Keef apparently had an unofficial fling going on, and she just dished some interesting info about it. Moreover, she recently appeared on the High Low with EmRata podcast with Emily Ratajkowski on Tuesday (April 25). Not only did Bhabie go into her experience a bit, but she also revealed that she has six Sosa-inspired tattoos at the moment. Of course, this isn’t the first time that the teen star-turned-rapper spoke on their relationship, even if she didn’t explicitly label it back then. Still, it seems things changed a lot since then, because she mentioned wanting to remove the ink one day.

“I have one guy that managed to make it six times, five or six,” Bhad Bhabie told Ratajkowski when asked about having all her exes as body art. “So, I have Chief Keef’s birthday, his last name, his name, his nickname, and I have ‘CK’ on my ankle, then I have his last name right here. Actually, I just covered his birthday, and then I have ‘So’ on my ear, and then I have ‘Keef’ on my wrist.” However, the Florida native said that she’s “sick of his s**t,” which is why she covered his birthday.

Bhad Bhabie Wants To Remove Her Six Chief Keef Tattoos

“I’m getting them removed, I’m just tired of being delusional. I’m so over it,” she continued. Later, the 20-year-old reflected on a conversation with a friend, who told her things will be better one day. “It’s been a long run,” she said before confirming that they were done. “But I would say we were pretty close. But it was like, I don’t know, I’ve known him for a minute.” Elsewhere in the conversation, she expressed regret and revealed that she was 18 when they started seeing each other.

Despite the bad blood, the “Hi Bich” rapper maintained that felt very close with Sosa. Unfortunately, it seems like their fling was unfruitful at the end of the day. Regardless of any issues they might have had, at least Bhabie looks ready to move on at this point. On that note, if you want more updates on Chief Keef and Bhad Bhabie, stay logged into HNHH.
