Black Thought Recalls Biggie Smalls’ Reaction To The “What They Do” Video

July 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Black Thought says that The Notorious B.I.G. thought The Roots dissed him after the release of the group’s “What They Do” music video. He discussed Biggie’s reaction to the visual during a recent interview on People’s Party With Talib Kweli, which they recorded at The Roots Picnic.

“Nah, we weren’t dissing, first of all, I mean gangsta rap, what is that?” Black Thought said on the show. “Capone-N-Noreaga, I wouldn’t consider that gangsta rap. But, everything that was taking place during that point in time in music, had become so predictable. We did that song, and then ultimately the video, just as a satire.”

From there, he explained that artists who were operating in that vein “probably felt a way,” but said it was intended as comedy. He continued: “We absolutely didn’t intend for anybody to take offense, but there was one scene in that video where the director dropped me into a duplicate of a scene from somebody else’s video and it was a B.I.G. joint. So B.I.G., he really was offended by what they do, like by the video. He was rocking with the song, and then he saw the video and was devastated because he was a huge Roots fan. ‘Silent Treatment’ was his shit.”

“When I met B.I.G., he busted out [and] started singing ‘Silent Treatment.’ Junior M.A.F.I.A., Lil Kim, anybody that was B.I.G. adjacent or associated always was really supportive of The Roots. So, when that joint came out, he was hurt. He felt like we was sort of dissing him, after we bigged him up. That was one of the things that sorta came from that whole, ‘What They Do,’ and it was wild because we were living in London by the time it came out, so we never got a chance to resolve the issue, at least not face to face.”

Drake Versus Childish Gambino, Twitter Debates

July 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake recently embarked on his “It’s All A Blur Tour,” kicking it off with a date in Chicago. The artist made headlines for dissing Childish Gambino’s 2018 track “This Is America” on the first night of the tour. “The Overrated And Over Awarded Hit Song ‘This Is America’ Was Originally A Drake Diss Record,” visuals at his performance read. Earlier this year, Childish Gambino did admit that the song started out as a diss to the Canadian rapper.

“The idea for the song started as a joke. To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ — that was all we had was that line. It started as a Drake diss, to be honest, as like a funny way of doing it. But then I was like, this sh*t sounds kind of hard though. So I was like, let me play with it,” Childish Gambino told GQ. The recent diss has now gotten social media users debating which of the two is the better artist. The internet is split as to who takes the cake, with many just hoping the beef might “make them boys drop music.” “Childish Gambino & Drake beef,” one user says, “finally my nerdy a*s can take a side in something and stand up for what I believe in.”

“There’s no way people are on this app saying Drake’s a better *singer* than Childish Gambino again,” a Twitter user writes. Another tells Drake, “I really like the summer albums.” They continue, “but please bro I’m begging you Don’t go bar for bar with Childish Gambino your ghost writer will not survive.”

Other users went up to bat for the “God’s Plan” artist, arguing that he has “more timeless tracks” than Childish Gambino. “[He] clears Childish Gambino in every single way, please don’t feed this debate,” one says. Another user claims, “They both annoying but drake is a better artist than Childish Gambino be real now.” “Drake has a better discography than Childish Gambino Sorry Not Sorry,” someone else notes. They add, “Y’all disrespect Drake too much on this app.”

Drake Blasts Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” On Tour, Calls It “Overrated”

July 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 S*vage just kicked off, and there’s no shortage of things to talk about. However, perhaps the spiciest and most potentially consequential part of the whole ordeal was him dissing Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” as part of his visuals. Moreover, it was fittingly during Drizzy’s performance of the track “Headlines,” where multiple headlines appear on a screen. “The Overrated And Over Awarded Hit Song ‘This Is America’ Was Originally A Drake Diss Record,” the screen read at one point. Of course, it’s entirely possible that this is all in good fun, but considering their history, it’s not particularly likely, either.

What’s more is that it’s kind of wild to think of Childish Gambino’s “This Is America,” a politically charged statement of a song, starting off as a Drake diss. Maybe that’s the point, as the 6 God isn’t one to engage in a lot of social topics in his music (which isn’t a bad thing, necessarily). Regardless of your interpretation of this shade, there’s a bit of conflicting evidence here as to whether there’s legitimate beef here. For example, photographers captured them at the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscars party, so maybe they’re just having fun with the outlets that will go wild over this news.

Furthermore, Donald Glover explained the origins of “This Is America” during a recent GQ interview. “The idea for the song started as a joke, to be completely honest,” Childish Gambino revealed. “‘This is America’- that was all we had, was, like, that line. And it started as a Drake diss, to be honest [laughs], as like, a funny way of, like, doing it. But then I was like, ‘This s**t sounds kind of hard, though,’ you know? So I was like, ‘Let me play with it.’ So we just had that for a long time.”

Meanwhile, the Canadian superstar actually appeared (albeit in animated and mute form) on Childish’s music video for “Feels Like Summer.” In addition, Glover used him as inspiration for the “Atlanta” episode “Champagne Papi,” titled not-so-subtly. In it, the character Vanessa goes to a party hosted by him, and he even responded to the episode: “This s**t is surreal, I’m too high for this.” Perhaps these two aren’t such enemies after all and are just playing around- and if they are their oppositions, well, let’s see how Glover reacts. For more news and the latest updates on Childish Gambino and Drake, come back to HNHH.

Lil Yachty Reveals Why He Hates Sean Paul

June 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During the first episode of his new podcast, “A Safe Place,” Lil Yachty revealed the reason he isn’t a fan of Jamaican artist Sean Paul. He explained that the artist dissed him during a radio appearance, and ever since, he doesn’t “f**k with” him. Lil Yachty announced the new podcast earlier this month, urging fans to send him questions he can answer on the show.

In the episode, titled “The Art Of Hate,” Lil Yachty and his co-host MitchGoneMad discussed artists that fell off. When MitchGoneMad mentioned Sean Paul, Yachty explained that the artist never really “fell off,” but instead simply stopped putting out music. He then revealed that he doesn’t like the artist, saying “f**k Sean Paul.” A clip then plays of Paul dissing him. “If it was really about talent in the hip hop industry,” Paul says in the clip, “you wouldn’t have some of these younger cats talking that.” When someone is heard mentioning the rapper, Paul agrees that he falls into this category and calls him “boat boy.”

Sean Paul isn’t the only artist to throw shade at Lil Yachty recently. NBA YoungBoy also took shots at the rapper in his song “F**k The Industry Pt. 2” last month. “Play with me, Lil Yachty mad about JT, f*ggot / B*tch, play with me, half of y’all ain’t got more money than me,” he raps.

YB later explained the diss on Twitter, revealing that he had tried to “check” him for talking to City Girls’ JT. “Mama, that b*tch really check me ’bout that girl,” he explained, “That b*tch checked the gangsta man.” He continued, “If I ain’t mistaken, bro, you say you asked me about trying to talk to your b*tch. And I was confused ’cause you a hoe and you was coming at me, like, I ain’t really do that. B*tch, I got a mental problem over here and I got too much money.”

Joe Budden Refuses To Take A Side On Beef Between Jim Jones And Pusha T

June 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pusha T and Jim Jones are currently beefing. Pusha fired the first shots with some deep cuts about Jones in a song that debuted at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton show in Paris. At first, Jones was content to dismiss the diss as “cute”. However, he responded a few days later, dropping a track of his own. In his, the Dipset member compared Pusha and No Malice to slaves.

Furthermore, he masterfully suggested that Pusha T didn’t know what a rap beef is. “The only beef you know n***a, is the Arby’s or the Big Mac,” Jones proclaimed. Now Joe Budden has given his thoughts on the feud. It’s to be expected, as Budden likes to keep his finger on the pulse of the rap scene.

Budden Opts To Stay Neutral

“Now let me be objective and do my job the right way,” he said. “I’m torn here like Latoya Luckett. Boy, am I torn. On one hand I know to leave Push it to you alone. Retired me active me if you were gonna if I were ever gonna—I would get at that n***a actually—but boy would I be respectful of my approach,” he continued. “I’d have to lead with the jab, set them up have had a lot of thought would go into it it wouldn’t be the body it wouldn’t be as reckless at because Pusha T is a methodical man outside of rapping he is a methodical thinking, planning man.”

Budden went on to explain that he knows that Jones respects Pusha T’s game. However, he also acknowledged that Jones needs to step carefully. This is because Pusha is a “pain and a headache” to rap against. Despite this, Budden is playing the Switzerland card and staying neutral. However, while he doesn’t have a dog in the fight, he did express his hopes that the beef stays about music and doesn’t become personal or overly disrespectful.

Jim Jones Responds To Pusha T Diss On New Song “Summer Collection”

June 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The beef between Pusha T and Jim Jones just kicked into full gear with its first official diss track. Sure, there was Push’s original shots, but those were more like obvious subliminals given the context than anything else. Now, the Dipset member released “Summer Collection” in response for a “From The Block Performance.” In it, he uses the exact same beat that the Virginia native used in his teased disses towards the New York MC on an unreleased Clipse collab with No Malice. Not only that, but he responds to a few of the points that Pusha made on those bars, and comes through with some more aggressive material.

For example, there’s him urging Pusha T to not doubt his VVS diamonds, and him not caring about any of the former G.O.O.D. Music president’s luxury purchases or flamboyant style. Also, he trashed his artistry is catalog, referencing his album My Name Is My Name but saying “we ain’t screaming that.” Another example of that was Jim Jones stating that Push is only a “gorilla” because of all the “apes” that he features on his albums. He didn’t really clarify whether he depends on his features or picks small names, but either way works, right?

Jim Jones’ Diss Track Towards Pusha T

However, perhaps the nail in the coffin out of all of his bars were instead directed at his brother No Malice. Furthermore, Jones said that he’s not looking too good right now, and that he shouldn’t bother with a Clipse reunion. Considering how deep Pusha T went at Drake after the latter mentioned the former’s fiancée, this can’t spell out good news for the 46-year-old. Regardless, let us know what you think about this diss (which you can find on YouTube) and how it compares to Push’s in the comments. Read some standout bars below and stick around on HNHH for more on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Quotable Lyrics
The only beef you know, n***a, is Arby’s or the Big Mac
We don’t drive through, we drive by in the car with the big MAC
The last s**t you dropped, that s**t was garbage, take that s**t back
Plus you got your brother rappin’, what you tryna bring the Clipse back?
Talk about your brother, what happened to that boy?
He’s looking like they’ve been selling crack to that boy

Young Thug Debunks Saweetie Diss On New Album “BUSINESS IS BUSINESS”

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even though this wasn’t a diss as people thought, it does answer some interesting questions people had about BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Moreover, Young Thug recently stated via Twitter that a line that many thought was directed at Saweetie on his new album actually didn’t take aim at her at all. “My n***a ain’t even tryna hit sweetie,” Thug raps on the track “Want Me Dead.” Furthermore, it seems like a lot of people thought that he actually mentioned the California rapper. It was just a case of mishearing the line thanks to there not being a word like “a,” “the,” “my,” and so on before “sweetie.” “Her name is Saweetie,” Thugger tweeted. “I said sweetie. #BusinessIsBusiness.”

Given the Atlanta trap pioneer’s expressive inflections and unique tone, it’s easy to confuse lines from him. However, his clarification points to a few other rumors surrounding BUSINESS IS BUSINESS‘s release. For starters, many wondered how much of these new tracks were freshly recorded during his incarceration. He now confirmed that probably many of these have a couple of years on the shelf. More importantly, though, fans wonder whether Young Thug will clarify whether he meant to diss Gunna on tracks like “Jonesboro,” where he talks about snitching. Since he’s in jail, it’s unlikely that he recorded a specific verse for it. Still, now that he cleared one alleged diss up, why not another? And what does it mean if he doesn’t?

Young Thug Denies Shading Saweetie

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Well, the reason why is likely because of his YSL partner’s plea deal. Its legal ramifications likely bar significant contact between the two, as some pointed out. On the other hand of that argument, Wunna’s done plenty to shout out Young Thug and reach him indirectly. Also, Thugger once linked Gunna’s music on his IG bio and then deleted it. At the moment, it seems like the relationship between the two is assumed to be at least amicably at arm’s length as fans continue to speculate. For example, an alleged leak voice call from the 31-year-old to Lil Baby and Lil Durk asking for them to respond to Gunna’s alleged disses was called fake by Thug’s sister.

Meanwhile, even that hasn’t convinced people that there’s bad blood brewing. That’s certainly true for Gunna’s relationship with other artists, but not necessarily with Thugger himself. While many hope we’ll get true answers soon, those won’t likely be coming anytime soon. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on Young Thug and Saweetie.

Jim Jones May Be Striking Back With A Pusha T Diss Track

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jim Jones appears to be working on new music. A new Instagram post reveals that the rapper may even be cooking up a response to Pusha T’s recent diss track. In the clip, Jones is seen firing off bars into a hanging microphone, and some note that the bars appear to reference Pusha T. He raps over the same music from the Clipse track Pusha T recently debuted at the Louis Vuitton runway show in Paris.

The track, tentatively titled “Chains ’n Whips,” seemingly called out Jones, who had a lot to say about Pusha T earlier this year. He ranked Pusha T at No. 29 on Billboard‘s list of the “Top 50 Greatest Rapper of All Time.” “Nobody wants to be like Pusha T,” Jones told the outlet in April. “I don’t know too many n****s in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T. Pusha T don’t hold no weight out here. He not pushing no shit out here,” he added.

Pusha T’s verse on “Chains ’n Whips” goes as follows: “Beware of my name, that there’s delegate / You know I know where you’re delicate / Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it / I will close your heaven for the hell of it / You think it’d be valor amongst veterans / I’m watching your fame escape relevance / We all in a room but here’s the elephant / You chasing a feature out of your element.”

Following the debut, Jones took to Instagram to respond. “Let me know if they serious cause my name is my name #Capo,” he wrote, adding “Let me know when they really ready.” “That verse did not make the list champ it was cute,” he later said, “That was not a top 50 verse.” He doubled-down, adding “Not at all. Still not in my top 50.” Regardless, it appears as though he plans to fire back soon.

During a recent radio appearance, Jess Hilarious discussed ongoing drama surrounding allegations that Lil Meech was cheating on Summer Walker.

She further went on to claim that Lil Meech is “smelly,” leading the couple to respond.

The pair clearly didn’t appreciate her comments, firing back back by posting DMs Lil Meech had previously received from the comedian. “How I stink but this unstable creature @jesshilarious_official in my DMs trying to get chose?” Lil Meech responded. He added, “I see why U mad now,” alongside laughing emojis. “This is a crazy world we live in.” He then claimed that Jess Hilarious must “like smelly n****s.” Meech’s girlfriend, Summer Walker, also chimed in to defend him. “Thirsty a*s girl must have caught amnesia,” she explained, “worried about my DMs & forgot about these.“

In a recent interview with The Shade Room, Jess Hilarious discussed the drama. “It was a lot,” she reveals.

Recently, Walker shared another message about the situation on social media, where she calls Jess Hilarious “a really weird a*s b*tch.” “What Black woman hopes another Black woman keeps getting cheated on?” she wrote in an Instagram Story, “That’s dark.” She went in on the comedian, telling her “You’d think being so ugly you’d try to be sweeter.“

Wack 100 Calls Gunna A “Bozo,” Responds To Diss

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Wack 100 recently appeared on the No Jumper podcast, where he discussed Gunna’s apparent diss. Allegedly, Gunna calls Wack 100 out on his song “i was just thinking,” which is part of the new album he released earlier this month, a Gift & a Curse. On the song, Gunna appears to reference him with the lyrics, “You wack n***as can’t get with this, I’m one hundred for sure.” “What he should have said,” he explains, is “Wack 100 never be a Gunna.” He then described his new line as “bars.” When the host asked him how he felt about Gunna calling him out in the song, he responded, “Good looking out, Gunna. Bozo.”

“You took the motherf*cking bait,” he explains, “you took the cake.” He then went on to call Gunna a “bozo” several more times. “Learn how to sit down and shut the f*ck up,” he tells Gunna, “and not do what we want you to do.” “That’s why your a*s is a little bitty a*s boy,” he says, “thanks for the clout.” Wack 100 continued, describing clout as “the new cocaine.”

Wack 100 had previously shared his thoughts on allegations that Gunna “snitched” on Young Thug amid the YSL RICO trial. He discussed thinking Gunna is guilty of “snitching” following the release of a Gift & a Curse. “He told,” he said during a Clubhouse discussion. “Listen… you’re not pleading guilty to a RICO, and they’re freeing you. He did something.”

Gucci Mane also recently dissed him on his new song with Lil Baby, “Bluffin.” In the song, he raps “I ain’t arguin’ on no internet, I’m not Wack100.” He later took to social media to respond. “You dissed me huh,” he wrote, “I heard dat sh*t.” He added, “Diss track response coming in 2 days ‘KNOCK OFF GUCCI’ IM REALY THE MANE! Sit down nay sayers we’re family Go stream dat sh*t NOW.”
