Troy Ave Reacts To Taxstone Verdict On “Dear Hater I Won”

by

Troy Ave’s celebrating the guilty verdict in Taxstone’s murder case with the release of a brand new diss track. After a jury found the hip-hop podcaster guilty, the New York rapper dropped off his new single, “Dear Hater I Won.” The rapper shared a new video, including the subtitle “Taxstone Found Guilty,” which shows him in front of the court, suited up, as he celebrates his apparent win against the podcaster after a bitter legal war 

The song opens up with clips of various media personalities discussing the case, and an apparent “letter,” in which Troy Ave says Taxstone sent a letter to the judge “snitching” on him. Evidently, Troy Ave feels vindicated by the results of the trial and he makes it known across the record. Tackling the ghastly production, Troy Ave comes through with a celebratory tone where he describes the shooting from his perspective and includes surveillance footage from Irving Plaza on the night of the shooting.

Troy Ave Blasts “Hater” Taxstone

Troy Ave dropped the song hours after a jury handed in the verdict. Taxstone was found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree, two counts of assault in the first degree, assault in the second degree, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon with intent to unlawfully use against another person, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. However, he was cleared of second-degree murder charges and second-degree attempted murder.

During the trial, Troy Ave wound up taking the stand against Taxstone and detailing the murder. The testimony reduced what would’ve been a 15-year sentence to one year. He told the court that he fought Taxstone for the gun before it hit him in the leg. “If it’s fight or flight I’m always going to fight because at that point you could die,” he said. Check out his song above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
Got attempted murder ’cause I took the gun from him and bust back
This ain’t no made up raps, I’m paraphrasing the facts
I’m the king of the underground, you just a underground rat
I rose up above the rodents, they tried to pull yo boy back

Bad Bunny Seemingly Disses Devin Booker On “Coco Chanel” Single, Athlete Responds

by

For quite some time, the main man in Kendall Jenner’s love life was NBA player Devin Booker. The model and her man’s on-again-off-again antics left many confused, and they eventually called it quits for good late last year. After embracing the single life for a few months, KJ has been getting cozy with a new lover as of late – Bad Bunny – and he appears to have dissed her ex on his latest guest verse.

As Complex reports, this weekend saw the arrival of the Latin rapper’s appearance on Eladio Carrión’s “Coco Chanel.” Once listeners had a chance to translate the lyrics from Spanish to English, it became obvious that he’s not afraid of Jenner’s dating history. “I’m not bad baby, that’s a gimmick / The Sun in [Puerto Rico] heats up more than the one in Phoenix,” his bars translate out to, seemingly shading Booker’s basketball team, the Phoenix Suns.

Bad Bunny Appears to Throw Shade on “Coco Chanel”

In the same verse, Bunny raps about “dangerous” Scorpios, which makes sense considering his rumoured new girl was born on November 3rd. “Las de escorpio son peligro, lo dijo Mela y Rukmini, ey / Una demon, la monté en el Rolls-Royce y le puse YOVNGCHIMI,” he spits in Spanish. “Yo no soy malo, nah, bebé, eso e’ un gimmick / Pero el sol de PR calienta má’ que el de Phoenix.”

While it hasn’t been confirmed whether or not Bunny intended to hurt Booker with his words, the athlete is certainly taking them personally. “He worried about another MAN again,” the 26-year-old wrote in a blog’s Instagram comment section after getting word of the gossip. As you may recall, he previously unfollowed Jenner on Instagram as rumours of her budding romance with the Bullet Train actor began circulating online.

Devin Booker Responds

We’re still currently awaiting official confirmation of a relationship between Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner, though many have already taken their frequent hangouts to mean that they’re dating. Most recently, the pair left an Oscars after-party together in the same car, and they’ve been photographed kissing while out on the town grabbing sushi. Read more about their latest date night here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Baby Tate Airs Out Hitmaka On New Song “Pu$$y R@pp3r”

by

Baby Tate fired back at Hitmaka’s recent criticism of women in rap with her latest song, “Pu$$y R@pp3r.”

The “Thot Box” producer recently caused an uproar after he said he wanted to hear more women with “strictly bars.” He explained that he wasn’t a fan of “pussy rap,” claiming that it lost its appeal in recent times.

“Can’t wait to work with a pretty female rapper that’s strictly about bars to even the playing field. Pussy rap was cool when it had shock value & was rare. Now it’s like every girl taking it there. It’s sum who aren’t but they need a hit producer 4 impact,” he tweeted.

Needless to say, there were plenty of negative reactions to his commentary. Asian Doll called him out for criticizing women when men have rapped about similar content for decades.

However, Baby Tate gave Hitmaka exactly what he asked for: bars. She didn’t hold back, either. Tate puts the artist formerly known as Yung Berg on blast, claiming that he’s also writing the bars that he’s criticizing. Then, she goes on to question his catalog and his stint on Love & Hip-Hop.

“N***a just said the female bars so wack. Ain’t you writing ’em?…  He a man writing about a p***y, I knew he had a little d**e in him,” she raps.

She later addressed the song’s release on Twitter where she said there’s no beef with Hitmaka.

“As I said it’s no beef! The call was for a ‘pretty female rapper strictly about bars’ and instead of being a dick rider and a pick me I decided to bar mr hitmaka up. There are plenty of GORGEOUS rappers with a plethora of topics & a slew of bars. U just have to open ur eyes,” she wrote. “Also can we release women rappers from the shackles of beauty? These n***as be ugly in peace why can’t we.”

Check out her new song below.

Quotable Lyrics
Rap n***as can’t rap unless there’s a perk involved
N***as jerkin’ off in a circle, talkin’ ’bout female rap, who hurtin’ y’all?
You probably couldn’t pull a bitch even if the bitch was a service doll
N***a, how dare you? Make a hit for yourself
Ain’t been hot since Mims “Hot,” Love & Hip-Hop ain’t help

Three decades have passed since Ice Cube dissed his former crew members from N.W.A. on “No Vaseline”, but according to Twitter, the Sir Jinx/Ice Cube-produced track from Cube’s Death Certificate LP is now being highlighted as the best diss record of all time.

Hip Hop heads unanimously named “No Vaseline” as the most vicious diss record to date, with Cube throwing shots at the late Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, DJ Yella and Ruthless Records former CEO Jerry Heller. With lines like, “Yella Boy’s on your team, so you’re losin’ / Ay yo Dre, stick to producin’ / Callin’ me Arnold, but you been-a-d*ck / Eazy-E saw your ass and went in it quick,” and “Half-pint bitch, f*ckin’ your homeboys / You little maggot, Eazy-E turned f*ggot,” Ice Cube made one of the most successful exit to solo artist transformations in Hip Hop history.
