J Cole Fulfills Fans Wishes By Making Special Edition Of “2014 Forest Hills Drive” Widely Available… Sort Of

by

J Cole’s fans can finally rejoice! The digital version of the 10th Anniversary Edition of 2014 Forest Hills Drive is now here! Well, it sort of is as there is a little bit of a twist and a price. Yesterday, the beloved North Carolina rapper shared that everyone could now get their hands on the classic via an Instagram post. “FHD 10 year anniversary edition with 8 unreleased songs. Forest Hills Drive was a double album at one point in time during the finishing process. This anniversary edition contains 8 of the songs that were included in that version. Available digitally tomorrow. 12pm eastern www.inevitable.live Thank you for the love.”

To no one’s surprise, everyone was obviously thrilled for this news. “COLE FANS ARE EATING GOOOOOOOD IN 2024,” one fan wrote. “Shoutout to you for doing this bc im depressed that i missed out on the vinyl 🥹🫶🏼” another pens with much thanks. We are sure a lot of Cole supporters were feeling this way up until today. There were cleverly only 2,014 physical copies of both vinyls with their four respective tracks, as well as its CD. They all sold out extremely fast, so this is a nice gesture on the MC’s part.

However, those looking for it on streaming platforms are going to be a little let down. Time will tell if all of the bonus tracks will make it that far. Instead, the 10th Anniversary Edition is available for digital purchase for $10.00 USD on the EVEN platform. Rappers of all kinds have been using this newer site to share some exclusive music, interviews, and etc. J Cole is hopping on the trend now, and it’s got some feeling a little sour.

Reddit users are complaining about how tedious the download process is, as well as the site having technical difficulties when trying to purchase it. Regardless, Cole didn’t have to do this, so it’s certainly a win for those who weren’t on top of physical drop. Besides, all eight of the extra songs are included instead of just four on each alternate version. If you want to buy 2014 FHD in all of its deluxe glory, click the the “[Via]” link below.

Travis Scott Officially Releases Five Fan-Favorite Tracks For The “DAYS BEFORE RODEO” Deluxe

by

LET’S RAGE! Travis Scott fans can now finally listen to his 2014 mixtape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO. La Flame, at various points throughout the time in between now and the original release, had pondered doing this. However, at Fanatics Fest a few days ago, Scott went full send days after its 10-year anniversary. To pay homage to this point in his career, he even hosted a one-time show in Atlanta at The Masquerade with a strict 1,500 capacity to celebrate the rerelease. Fans who weren’t aware or around for this era of his are certainly in for a treat this weekend. However, we would argue that longtime supporters are eating even more so thanks to the DAYS BEFORE RODEO – DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM.

Yes, in addition to getting the original 12-track set, Scott promised to polish up a “COUPLE DBR SONGS FROM THAT ERA FROM THE VAULT.” Well, he did that and then some, as there are actually five in total. They include “Mo City Flexologist”, “Too Many Chances”, “Yeah Yeah” (with Young Thug), “Serenade”, and “Whole Lots Changed”. As we said, die-hards are going to recognize these titles as they have been floating on Soundcloud, YouTube, and torrenting websites.

Travis Scott Outdid Himself For The DAYS BEFORE RODEO Deluxe

Unfortunately, some people were misled/confused because they are nowhere to be found on DSPs. To hear these songs, you have to head to travisscott.com and buy the DIGITAL DELUXE for $4.99. It is still available as we speak, so click the link here. You may also be able to hear them on the deluxe vinyl if you were a buyer of that as well. Overall, this is one heck of a time to be a Travis Scott fan, new or old.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott including these specific tracks on the DAYS BEFORE RODEO – DIGITAL DELUXE ALBUM? Are you going to purchase it now that you know it’s only available on his website? Do you think La Flame should have included other past recordings, or are these valid enough? 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 Travis Scott. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Megan The Stallion Lindsay Lohan Reference Cut From “Mean Girls” Digital Release

by

A reference to an infamous Lindsay Lohan insult has been removed from the digital release of Mean Girls. Megan Thee Stallion’s utterance of “fire crotch”, a reference to an early 2000s It Girl diss of Lohan, appeared in the theatrical cut of the film but has been removed from the digital release. Lohan expressed her dismay at the line’s inclusion when the film was released in theatres last month.

Tina Fey, who was responsible for the film’s script, did not address the controversy despite her long-standing relationship with Lohan. With the “fire crotch” line removed, Megan’s brief cameo dialogue ends with her simply saying “We going back to red.” The line had previously continued with the reference to “Y2K fire crotch”. This now creates the rare instance of a digital release and theatrical cut, something that doesn’t happen as often in 2024. Do you think the line should have been removed? Let us know in the comments.

Renee Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion Perform “Not My Fault” On Saturday Night Live

Meanwhile, late January saw Renee Rapp bring out Megan as part of her Saturday Night Live musical spot. The pair performed their collab “Not My Fault”, which they recorded for the Mean Girls remake. The film is not directly a remake of the 2004 film, but a blend of the original film and the wildly popular Broadway musical. As mentioned, Megan also made a brief cameo in the film, furthering her various acting exploits. Furthermore, Rapp also performed her track “Snow Angel”, from her album of the same name released last year.

Rapp also performed in a sketch during the episode, which aired January 20. The main host was Jakob Elodi, who is widely expected to earn an Oscar nod for his role as Elvis Presley in Priscilla. Actress Rachel McAdams also appeared in the episode, announcing one of Rapp’s performances.
