Donald Trump Agrees To Debate Kamala Harris Under One Condition

August 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump says he’s willing to take on Kamala Harris in a Presidential Debate under the condition it takes place on Fox News on September 4th in Pennsylvania. He addressed the idea of debating Harris in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. In doing so, he berated her as the worst Vice President in American history.

“Kamala Harris doesn’t have the mental capacity to do a REAL Debate against me, scheduled for September 4th in Pennsylvania,” he wrote. “She’s afraid to do it because there is no way she can justify her Corrupt and Open Borders, the Environmental Destruction of our Country, the Afghanistan Embarrassment, Runaway Inflation, Terrible Economy, High Interest Rates and Taxes, and her years long fight to stop the words, “Merry Christmas.” I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all. She is acknowledged to be the Worst Vice President in History, which works very nicely against the Worst President, Crooked Joe Biden. The combination of these two Low IQ individuals have destroyed our Country, but we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

There have been mixed reports as to whether Trump would actually be willing to continue with the debate after Joe Biden dropped out of the race, last month. In their initial debate together, Biden often struggled to provide coherent answers to questions. Hopefully for the Democratic Party, Harris is able to put together a better showing.

Kendrick Lamar’s Engineer Is Being Called A Liar Over Drake Diss Revelation

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A clip from a sit-down between Kendrick Lamar’s engineer and Engine Ears Live is stirring up conversation. During their chat, Nicolas de Porcel retold the “amazing” procedure behind each Drake diss record during their battle. “It was a little crazy. I got a call, and it was like, ‘Stay on call, you’re gonna be working’”, Porcel began. “I would get the song and like six minutes would elapse and they’d be like, ‘How we looking?’. It was very high pressure. As Dot was releasing these records, it was like, I was turning in the masters… It would drop like 12 minutes later. It was amazing”.

Any sort of extra details about this beef are going to cause even more debate, and that’s exactly what is going on in the Xspace. According to XXL, fans are very split on whether or not de Porcel is telling the truth. Expectedly, there are a lot of skeptics out there, which is quite understandable. Many non-believers were pointing out how there is no way every fine detail was being ironed out. “You guys smoking the same crack Kendrick was in Power. It’s literally not possible to mix and master a full session at a professional level in just 30 minutes. It takes that long just to organize and label all the session stems”, one user states.

Fans Don’t See Eye To Eye On Kendrick’s Engineer Making This Claim

You guys smoking the same crack Kendrick was in Power. It’s literally not possible to mix and master a full session at a professional level in just 30 minutes. It takes that long just to organize and label all the session stems. https://t.co/hpYrdhunin

Complete bs. If the beat is already mixed, a single vocal track on a beat can be mixed in minutes. Especially if the studio has already mixed a lot of your albums, so they probably have a preset available to cut the time to a fraction.

— Shadow (@shzdzw) August 2, 2024

Additionally, some weren’t agreeing due to the fact that Kendrick didn’t address anything said in “Family Matters”. “Lmao it’s literally not possible to listen to family matters, enter the studio and record meet the grahams, mix and master the track and release it all under 30 minutes, he didn’t even rebuttal anything from family matters”. Then, there are some who are pointing out that it’s totally plausible, citing Kendrick’s greatness as a result. “They are surprised the man is that good.. they trying to talk down on the genius.. too good !!!”.

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s engineering being called out for how long the Drake diss tracks took to be put together? Whose side of the argument are you on and why? Which record is your favorite from K-Dot? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

JT’s First Week Numbers For “City Cinderella” Stirs Up A Back-And-Forth Debate

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On July 19, City Girls rapper JT put full belief in herself to shake things up a bit by dropping City Cinderella. Her debut solo mixtape, powered by singles such as “OKAY”, its remix with Jeezy, and “Sideways”, has been receiving quite the favorable reaction from reviewers. While it isn’t necessarily blowing people out of the water, the scores are very solid. We are in that same boat, as we feel that JT put forth some standout performances and chose some thumping beats. There are moments of repetition, and the features don’t really add much, but overall, it’s a respectable debut.

With it being well over a week now since its release, the final numbers are in for City Cinderella. In terms of sales, it pulled in 26,000, according to That Grape Juice. That is just 1,000 less than the original projection. As for what that means in terms of charting, it slots in at 27th on the Billboard Hot 200. For context, RAW, the City Girls’ last project, did just 6,000. Additionally, it competed with the likes of Childish Gambino and Denzel Curry’s bodies of work that week, and it actually outdueled the latter substantially.

Fans Have Different Views On The Performance Of JT’s City Cinderella

Now that the final stats are in, its causing quite the debate online. On one hand, fans are extremely proud of JT. Their argument is that based on what RAW did, 26,000 is a substantial increase and that progress is progress. Conversely, this stance has some riled up. People on this side are calling out the ones who were gassing it up, but still didn’t decide to a buy it. Essentially, they feel that these fans are coddling JT and not keeping it real. For example, here are two differing quotes. “27k is not good. For an established artist. Regardless if this is her first solo effort”. “Her last project did 6k, the goal is to do better than your last project. Give my girl her 10’s ”.

What are your thoughts on the first week sales numbers for JT’s City Cinderella? Whose side are you on in this debate and why? What songs are you revisiting from her debut mixtape? Is she having one of the best 2024’s for female rappers? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Tariq Nasheed Believes Sexyy Red Is Being Promoted By White Supremacists

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tariq Nasheed, Detroit born film director best known for his Hidden Colors film series, has an interesting perspective on Sexyy Red. In particular, it has to do with her pretty meteoric rise to fame. He sat down with Vlad TV to discuss why he feels that the White supremacists are the ones pushing her music. Essentially, Tariq firmly believes this community is aiming to perpetuate a negative view of Black women, but also the race at large. This then allows the justification for harm done (SA, missing people, etc.) when it does happen. Furthermore, Tariq goes on to point out artists similar to Sexyy Red like Latto, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, GloRilla, and etc. are so plentiful and that there is no balance of “sisters”.

Here, Nasheed refers to the Lauryn Hills, Queen Latifahs, and MC Lytes of the world of the 1990s who were creating this equilibrium with showy names like Lil’ Kim and Foxy Brown. In today’s game we people like Little Simz, Rapsody, and Tierra Whack. But Nasheed’s point is that artists like Lauryn Hill and Latifah were just as big as Kim, whereas the audiences for the ones we listed do not have that same draw. During the interview, Vlad has an opposing view on who is spreading Sexyy Red’s material.

Tariq Nasheed Wants A “Balanced Depiction” Of Black Women

He brought up a past interview with Fredo Bang about Red to Nasheed to explain his side. Vlad’s argument derives from the point that Bang made about how Red is a “spirit animal” for women of all kinds. Her music allows for those who work at jobs where you have to be professional, to be freer and embrace their sexuality. Overall, both arguments are extremely compelling, and it really gets you thinking about how certain material affects everyone societally.

What are your thoughts on Tariq Nasheed’s explanation for Sexyy Red’s promotion? Whose side of the debate are you on and why? Is this a major topic that needs to be focused on more socially and musically speaking? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Sexyy Red. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas & More Don’t Make The Top 5 In “Family Feud” Best Rappers Survey

July 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tori Kelly and Meghan Trainor’s teams recently went head to head on Family Feud, and the results of one survey have sparked a major debate. At one point in the show, Steve Harvey asked “Who is the greatest rapper of all time?” and the responses were not what one would expect. First, someone from Trainor’s team confidently said J. Cole, who didn’t make the list. Other answers included Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne, who were also not listed.

Finally, a member from Kelly’s team said 2Pac, who came in at number two. Kelly’s father then said The Notorious B.I.G., who came in sixth. Someone else later suggested Jay-Z, who came in last. Nas, Drake, and Ice Cube were among the players’ guesses, though none of them made the cut.

Family Feud Survey Leaves Viewers Shocked

In order from first to last, the final list included Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Eminem, Dr. Dre, LL Cool J, Biggie, 50 Cent, and Jay-Z. “We in Rhode Island again, where we at?” Harvey joked, prompting a response from Kelly. “You’re thinking as a Hip-Hop head. I don’t think that’s who answered these questions,” she said. Harvey went on to apologize to the hip-hop community for the list, seeming shocked that Jay-Z came in last place. “I just wanna apologize to the entire Hip Hop community,” he quipped. “Jay-Z’s last, what in the world?”

This isn’t the first time an episode of Family Feud has sparked a debate, however. Megan Thee Stallion appeared on the show earlier this month, where she was asked to “Name something you’ve done to your mate’s feet.” Considering Meg was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez, many thought the question was a bit too close for comfort, and criticized the show for asking it. What do you think of Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Nas being left out of a list of the top 5 best rappers in a Family Feud survey? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tory Lanez Hater Goes Viral For Sparking Debate Around His Music

July 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Tory Lanez’s new “Lost Tapes” singles inspired a refreshed conversation around his music as a whole, and not everyone’s a fan. Moreover, a tweet recently went viral for claiming that his music was never good, prompting millions of clicks and a whole lot of contentious and fiery debate in the replies. Many of the Canadian artist’s biggest fans linked their favorite material to counter this argument, whereas others completely agreed and led die-hards into an even more defensive position. Of course, a lot of people also brought up the Megan Thee Stallion situation as either a point to separate from this conversation or as something that goes beyond it.

Furthermore, we know that Tory Lanez’s conviction for shooting the Houston femcee continues to cause debates online and in person. Megan Thee Stallion was recently exiting a venue when a group of men exclaimed “Free Tory” in her direction, which she reacted hilariously and disrespectfully to. But plenty of folks arguing over the quality of the music don’t take into account that controversy when making their assessments. On the flip-side, a select few would rather use that ammunition to make artistic arguments for or against, which is always a losing battle.

Tory Lanez Hater Has His Viral Day In The Sun: See Replies For Reactions & Debate

Speaking of that shooting case, at least Tory Lanez got a relatively heartening update when it comes to his legal process. The California court of appeals posited that they will consider his requests for “relevant evidence”; in other words, evidence that would help him in his appeal process. In addition, the court’s decision was a direct answer to the prosecution opposing the motion. As such, we don’t know whether authorities will actually side with Lanez here, but there’s at least a chance that they will improve his chances at a way out.

Meanwhile, this comes amid more disheartening updates when it comes to Tory Lanez’s current situation. His wife filed for divorce during his prison sentence after less than a year of marriage. A lot of ink already tried to speculate on what happened here and why this seemed like such a quick decision during Lanez’s legal process. But it seems like we can’t know for sure yet, at least until somebody sheds more light on the debacle.

Nicki Minaj Stirs Debate Among The Barbz With Possible JT Shade On Stationhead

July 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s Stationhead rants usually contain some interesting allusions to the rap game, which fans often read far too deeply into. Still, some recent comments during her latest session caused debate nonetheless, even if the assumption from many die-hards seems shaky and ill-founded at best, if not wholly salacious at worst. “But you also have to question why a person would go from unliking you to loving you. Isn’t that odd? Well, you don’t say…” the Trinidadian MC said during her livestream, which many took as a possible jab at the City Girls and specifically JT. For those unaware, the duo has a rocky history with Minaj, but one that concluded with a squash a couple of years ago.

In fact, it was just this April that Nicki Minaj brought JT out at one of her concerts alongside a slew of other femcees. As such, there’s not a lot of connective tissue here indicating why she would want smoke with the City Girls now, or what happened recently to provoke this possible shade. Furthermore, the more likely scenario is that the Pink Friday 2 superstar didn’t aim at the Miami rappers at all here. This is probably just a faulty fan interpretation that the Barbz are debating over, but if it’s truly an intentional diss, then many fans expressed their disappointment in seeking this beef out for seemingly no reason.

Nicki Minaj Seemingly Shades JT: Barbz React

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

Of course, we’ll see if any other information emerges regarding Nicki Minaj and JT that could illuminate this situation. Also, it’s just as likely that Nicki will eventually address this online in more explicit fashion, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for that. One thing’s for sure, though: the City Girl definitely aimed at specific necks on her new mixtape City Cinderella, and there are no doubts about that. Cardi B and GloRilla seemed to catch strays, but again, that’s just fans’ reading of an overall combative project that doesn’t need specific targets to confront others.

Meanwhile, even when artists are beefing with Nicki Minaj, they recognize that there are other factors at play. Stefflon Don recently reflected on how the Barbz were what she was really angry at back during her short-lived beef with Nicki, not Nicki herself. Still, she regretted dragging Minaj’s name into that situation when she was mostly just reacting to fans hating on her for some Cardi B beef comments. So we’ll see if JT has to defend herself in a similar way or if this is all just hearsay and nothing more.

Ice Spice Keeps Showing Off Weight Loss As Fans Debate Her Slim New Look

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice’s new album Y2K is right around the corner, so it’s no surprise that everyone’s talking about her every move a little more excitedly these days. Moreover, one recent topic of debate online concerns her alleged weight loss, with some fans congratulating her on it and other remarking that there’s not much to congratulate. Whether or not the Bronx femcee intended this conversation and this perceived weight loss, she certainly is showing off her body and beauty all the same on her social media. She returned to her pages with new snaps of her in the studio, with one particular image showing off a more toned midriff that has many fans thinking that she’s taken big steps to lose weight.

Of course, this prompted debates around whether or not Ice Spice looks better now, what this says about beauty standards and self-confidence, and the other questions of image and societal norms that these conversations tend to spark. Sadly, they turned quite nasty online against her, and Sexyy Red was one of many who swooped in to defend her against Internet trolls. “Yal act like people can’t b stressed or not eat as much and she still look good so next…” she commented under an IG post on the matter. Amid a lot of the media trying to put these female rappers against each other, it’s heartening to see then stick up for each other.

Ice Spice’s Newest Snaps

Regardless, we’re sure that Ice Spice has a lot more on her mind these days ahead of her album coming up next week. We now have an official tracklist for Y2K, which will feature Travis Scott, Central Cee, and Gunna, and while the short number of tracks and the amount of already released singles is pretty controversial, we’re sure that a deluxe will probably follow. It’s the release schedule and method that plenty of hip-hop artists have used successfully as of late. But what fans really care about is to see whether this marks a new sonic era, an improvement on existing formulas, or something else entirely.

Meanwhile, this whole rollout for Y2K wasn’t without its fair share of drama behind it, especially in the relationship rumor mill. Ice Spice’s close relationship with Central Cee these days prompted his ex-girlfriend to blast him for cheating, and that whole thing continues to fall out. We don’t know how much of it is just gossip and how much of it is legitimate. But much like these weight loss discussions, we’ve yet to see any conclusive statements on it from the “Princess Diana” star.

Cam’ron & Ma$e Rip J Prince Apart Amid Shakur Stevenson Beef

July 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There is a new installment in the Cam’ron & Ma$e versus Shakur Stevenson beef, as the latter’s manager, J Prince, fires back. If you pay attention to the boxing world, you know that the young and speedy fighter has been trading words with the It Is What It Is panel. This heated debate’s origins trace back to last weekend after the still undefeated lightweight boxer defended his title against the underdog, Artem Harutyunyan. Stevenson went on to win by judge’s decision after showing off his incredible defense and tactical approach. However, a lot of viewers of the violent sport are not too keen on his style, including Ma$e and Cam’ron.

Ma$e started things after saying that he does not want to see Stevenson fight anyone ever again during the segment on their show. It got around to the WBC athlete, and that kicked off the beef. As we mentioned, it is still going, as J Prince is now getting involved, according to AllHipHop. If you are wondering why a musical artist manager is speaking on a boxer’s behalf, it is because Stevenson has been a client of his since late 2016. Prince clapped back at the podcast duo by sharing that his last match was the most watched boxing event of the year.

In the caption, Prince wrote, “NUMBERS DONT LIE HATERS DO”. He then went on to @ the talk show, “And to all of you haters who want to escalate that hate outside of the ring I’m Shakur’s manager and I handle all his business outside of the ring. In other words, Cam and Mase I will fade all his shots and take all bets”. However, Cam’ron and Ma$e are standing firm on their position. They returned the favor by resharing an interview with Top Rank‘s Bob Arum explaining why Stevenson’s methods do not attract the eyes. It Is What It Is also had some choice words for J Prince, stating, “THE FIGHT WAS “FREE 99” SO YEA #’s DO LIE SOME TIMES, N****S MAD AT US FOR SAYING WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYING INCLUDING THE PEOPLE WHO #SHAKUR WAS SIGNED TO “FOH”.

What are your thoughts on J Prince, Cam’ron, and Ma$e continuing their back-and-forth surrounding Shakur Stevenson? Whose side are you on during this ongoing debate? Do you see this escalating past their Twitter fingers spat? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Beyonce’s New Wax Figure Leaves Fans Confused: “That’s Becky”

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that replicating Beyonce with wax would be a pretty tough feat. Recently, however, the Grévin Museum in Paris has earned a great deal of backlash for what fans think is a wildly off-base depiction of the icon. They unveiled the new wax figure earlier today. Social media users were quick to call them out, accusing them of whitewashing the multi-hyphenate.

“Baby that’s Addison Rae,” one Instagram user writes in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “That’s Becky not Beyonce,” someone else jokes. Others are questioning why the figure’s skin tone was made lighter than the actual Bey’s, and have been reminded of similar instances involving other celebrities. Last year, for example, the same museum unveiled a wax figure of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which some thought more closely resembled Mr. Clean.

Grévin Museum Unveils New Beyonce Wax Figure

The Rock himself responded to the uproar, revealing that he and his team planned to reach out to the museum to ask them to change some “important details,” including his skin color. The museum ended up fixing the wax figure, and acknowledging that it was “indeed whiter than it should have been.” According to them, the mistake was made due to the reference photo they chose to use, and how “tricky” lighting can be sometimes. It’s unclear whether or not Beyonce plans to do something similar. She’s yet to address the debacle at the time of writing.

Back in 2017, Madame Tussauds also displayed a Beyonce wax figure that led to a tremendous amount of criticism. Again, fans demanded a “re-do,” insisting that both her features and skin tone were not being accurately portrayed. The museum later announced that the figure’s styling and lighting would be “adjusted.” What do you think of the Grévin Museum’s new Beyonce wax figure? What about social media users’ reactions to it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
