Fans Think G-Eazy Dissed Halsey On “WORK Pt. 4” And Here’s Why

August 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G-Eazy and Halsey did not part on good terms. An understatement, we know. The two artists dated from 2017-18, and ever since, things have been tense. Well, at least one way. G-Eazy has been much vocal in terms of discussing the relationship in the intervening years. This is partially why fans think the Oakland rapper threw at shot Halsey on his newest song. G-Eazy dropped a verse on the English language remix for the AZEEZ song “Work.” It’s a pretty forgettable verse on a cursory listen, but a few lines stuck out as pertaining to Halsey, in particular.

G-Eazy spends the second verse of the song talking about an unnamed woman. He flexes about how he runs the Bay, but gets much more specific with subsequent lines. “Actin’ innocent, no, it’s not your first time. We’re far away if Libra is her sign,” he raps. G-Eazy then goes on to lament the fact that this girl is unable to change. “Oof, danger, danger (Danger, danger)/Don’t be a stranger (Don’t be a stranger),” he adds. “She said no one can save her.” It’s worth noting that this is the sort of material G-Eazy has always rapped about. The thing that gives listeners reason for pause, though, is the specificity of the signs that were mentioned.

G-Eazy References Halsey’s Sign On The New Song

Halsey’s birthday is September 29, which makes her a Libra. The rest of the verse can then be read as an indictment of the singer, and the time she spent with G-Eazy. It wouldn’t be the first time the rapper had harsh words for Halsey on a song. He threw a pretty harsh dig at the singer on his 2019 song “I Wanna Rock.” He dismissed their entire relationship. “No Limit, all I got is Me, Myself & I,” he raps. “When I said it’s her and I, that sh*t was a lie.” Not enough? Don’t worry, because G-Eazy ran it back with a full album of disses in 2020. Everything’s Strange Here is practically dedicated to Halsey, and the pain she caused the rapper.

There isn’t enough time to sift through all the Halsey references, so we will focus on the song “Had Enough.” G-Eazy really aired out the dirty laundry on this one. “All them lies that you was tellin’ on me. Hoping I lose, you hope an L is on me,” the rapper lamented. “She would tell anybody, she’ll go and tell her homie. She would go on TV, she go on Ellen on me.” Halsey threw a few shots back on her singles “Without Me” and “Die for Me.” It would probably be best if both of them move on. At least, musically speaking.

Drake Might’ve Fired Back At A$AP Rocky On Recently Released “It’s Up”

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake seems to have to the last word (at least for now) in one of his many ongoing beefs. According to XXL, some bars on “It’s Up”, one of three songs released to The Boy’s finsta page and 100gigs.org, appear to be for A$AP Rocky. In the short closing verse, it reads something like this, “Knockin’ off the namebrand n****s in your crew / Heard you miss your dogs, now it’s long live who? Idiot“. Breaking it down, Drake targets the lesser-known members of the A$AP Mob and then ties that into the de facto leader’s 2013 project LONG.LIVE.A$AP.

We can certainly see this being a shot because Rocky was suspected to be subliminally firing away at Drizzy on his recent single “HIGHJACK”. “These n****s want my wife bad, the people want my next track/N****s swear they pimpin’, Scottie sippin’, get your wife back“. Obviously, this all ties into Drake’s past infatuation of Rocky’s now wife and mother to his two children, Rihanna. His constant clap backs at the Canadian enemy can certainly be looked at as warranted, though. Drake very possibly dissed the R&B queen last year on For All The Dogs.

Drake & Rocky Continue To Go Shot For Shot

Rocky made sure to remind his former collaborator on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands” just how bad he messed up. “Call up Pluto, Metro, should’ve put me on the first one / N****s swear they b**** the baddest, I just bagged the worst one / N****s in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’? / I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son“. With Drake currently the most recent one to diss, we are sure Rocky will do some more chirping when he drops DON’T BE DUMB on August 30.

What are your thoughts on Drake potentially clapping back at A$AP Rocky on his new song “It’s Up”? Is this your favorite track from the “100gigs for your headtop” release? Where do these bars rank amidst the disses between Drizzy and Rocky? How do you feel about him dropping all of this content? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake and A$AP Rocky.

Kanye West Blasts Adidas On “Vultures 2”

August 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign surprised fans by dropping their new album, Vultures 2. Supporters had been waiting on the project for months and were less hopeful than ever after the August 2 release date came and went. Luckily, they didn’t have to wait too much longer, and can now enjoy the project in full.

So far, the second installment of Vultures has received mixed reactions. While many are impressed, others are urging Ye to hurry up on his previously announced retirement. With that being said, listeners are still hard at work dissecting each and every track, including “My Soul.”

Kanye West Says “F*ck Adidas” On New Track “My Soul”

The song is the last on the album and features a jab at Adidas, which cut ties with Ye back in 2022 amid his infamous antisemitism scandal. “We mass targeted, mass marketed, mass incarceration
Mass in police stations, mass incorporated, f*ck Adidas,” he spits. While the remark certainly hit hard, listeners aren’t necessarily shocked, as this is far from the first time he put the company on blast.

Earlier this year, for example, he went after Adidas, Drake, and more in a fiery Instagram rant. “F*ck Adidas and everybody who works there or with them. Anyone who goes to school with anyone who’s parents work at Adidas. Just know they tried to destroy me and here we are with the number 1 song in the world,” he said at the time. Obviously, there’s still some bad blood there, and it doesn’t look like Ye will be forgetting about it anytime soon. What do you think of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new album Vultures 2? What about Ye slamming Adidas on his track “My Soul”? What’s your favorite song on the project so far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Travis Scott’s Manager Fires Back At Killer Mike Over Alleged Grammy Diss

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott and Killer Mike are keeping beef alive in 2024. Fans are waiting to see if Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar will resume, but there’s trouble brewing Huncho Jack and one half of Run the Jewels. And it’s for an odd reason. Mike won three awards at the recent Grammys. Travis Scott was competing in the same categories, and went home empty handed. Fans then overran the internet with claims that Killer Mike stole from their favorite rapper. It seemed like a done deal, until Mike released his new album. On said album, he threw some pretty blatant shots at “Sicko Mode” star.

The alleged diss came on the album’s closer, “STILL TALK’N THAT SH*T.” Killer Mike makes it clear that he didn’t steal anything, he merely cooked Travis Scott in terms of artistry. “You gon respect me like a motherf*ckin’ Grammy winner,” Mike spits. “Like I cooked your favorite rapper like a Granny dinner.” It doesn’t take a lot of analysis to get the message. Killer Mike obviously felt a way about the backlash to his crowning Grammy moment. The rapper’s justification, though, did not stop Travis Scott’s manager from getting into the mix. David Stromberg was not pleased with what Mike had to say, and mocked him back on Twitter.

Travis Scott’s Manager Mocked Killer Mike’s Career

Stromberg took the wind out of Killer Mike’s by making some heinous comparisons. He aligned the ATL rapper with other artists who won Grammy Awards that were deemed to be unworthy in retrospect. The kind of artists that Killer Mike would not be compared to under any other circumstances. “Macklemore and Cardi B tour selling out Chuck E Cheese karaoke nights near u,” he tweeted. Stromberg also made note of the fact that the artists in question have since fallen off. Macklemore infamously beat Kendrick Lamar for Best Rap Album in 2013, and he effectively doomed his career by apologizing. He also beat Kanye West’s Yeezus, which Scott co-produced. Cardi B, on the other hand, won Best Rap Album over Travis Scott in 2019.

Killer Mike’s bars likely struck a chord with Travis Scott and his management. Scott has been open about his desire to win a Grammy, and has been nominated ten times. “The award is just like at one point was held up to a higher stature, but I still believe it,” he said during an appearance on The Shop. It’s crazy… You gotta perform at 8:30. So imagine losing at 1:30 and having to sit there for seven hours. Like f*ck this sh*t.” Travis Scott has generally avoided rap beefs throughout his career. We’ll see if he takes the bait and decides to go at Mike.

Big Sean Reveals Kendrick Lamar Sent Him An Apology For Dissing Him On Leaked Version Of “ELEMENT.”

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last decade or so, Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar’s relationship has been very up and down. They have worked together, but they have also sneak dissed each other on a multitude of occasions. However, based on a recent sit-down with Charlamagne tha God, it seems the Detroit MC felt there has never been any animosity. So, when Sean heard Lamar’s leaked “ELEMENT.” verse prematurely around the time of Nipsey Hussle’s passing, he felt absolutely blindsided. To backtrack a little, the first time the hip-hop community learned about this was back in late 2022. Then, about a year later, the “OG” version of the DAMN. cut would make its way onto the internet, leaving the rap world stunned.

“Big Sean keep sneak dissin’, I’ll let it slide / I think his false confidence got him inspired / I can’t make them respect you baby, it’s not my job“, Lamar’s diss on Sean began. You finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme (Boy) / Cute a** raps, get your puberty up / Then make you a classic album before you come at us“. He would then wrap things up, leaving Sean off with a warning. “Drake, your Meek Mill beef might got you gassed up / But I’m a whole ‘nother beast, I’d really f*** you up“. Sean then reveals to the Breakfast Club interviewer that him and Dot text back and forth.

Big Sean Is Taking The High Road When It Comes To Kendrick Lamar

They don’t read the messages aloud, but essentially Kendrick apologized to him, mentioning how his ego was taking over his decision to pen such scathing bars. Sean also mentioned how Lamar thanked him for the shoutout on “Deep Reverence” off of Detroit 2. That track featured a late verse from Nipsey and Sean also says that his verse was recorded following his death and that they essentially reconnected around that time to hash things out. Before moving off the subject, the “Yes” MC wanted to address everyone who was clowning him for not responding to Lamar. He says that he’s not a “clout-chasing-a** n****” and that there is no bad blood between them. However, if he felt there was, then he was going to be ready to fire back.

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar apologizing to Big Sean for the diss on his viral “ELEMENT.” verse? Do you think we will see them work together in the future again after this? How do you feel about Sean’s view of the situation? 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 Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

ASAP Rocky Seemingly Disses Drake On Brash New Single “HIGHJACK”

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky has unfinished business with Drake. Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and the rest of the rappers who went at the 6 God appear to be done. Rocky wants another round, though. At least, that’s what DJ Kast One claimed. The DJ went on Hot 97 and insisted that ASAP Rocky was dissing Drizzy all over his upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb. We all assumed we’d have to wait until August 30 to hear these bars, but ASAP Rocky may have given us a taste with his new single, “HIGHJACK.” At least, that’s what some listeners think.

There’s a self-fulfilling aspect to analyzing bars. If one goes into a song looking for a diss, then one will likely find it. That being said, ASAP Rocky does say a lot of things that apply to Drake. “HIGHJACK” sees him trash talk somebody who has a lot in common with the 6 God. “These n**gas want my wife bad, the people want my next track,” Rocky raps. “The coppers want my black a*s, f*cked up, but it’s like that.” Rihanna’s relationships with both Rocky and Drake has been talking points point throughout the battle. Drake even referenced Ri by her nickname, “Fring,” when he dissed Rocky on “Family Matters.”

ASAP Rocky References Future’s “Like That” Diss

The most convincing piece of evidence that ASAP Rocky is dissing Drake, though, is the interpolation. “HIGHJACK” has a smooth, cloud rap instrumental, but Rocky repeatedly ends his bars with “like that.” This, of course, evokes Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which was the Drake diss that started the whole battle. “Pull up to the trenches, all my jewelry, yeah, I’m like that,” he raps. “I just put my finger in the **** ’cause she like that. Don’t compare that p**sy boy to me (I don’t like that).” The “boy” that the rapper is insulting could conceivably be Drake aka “The Boy.”

ASAP Rocky isn’t the only rapper who seemingly wants a piece of Drake. The day before he dropped his single, JPEGMAFIA dropped his album I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU. The album contained not one but two Drake disses, and they were absolutely brutal. One alluded to the Toronto rapper fooling around with underage girls. The other saw Peggy coin the phrase “No Drizzy” in reference to the troubling allegations leveled at the 6 God. ASAP Rocky’s diss, if it even is one, is much tamer by comparison. Maybe the real fireworks will be on the album.

JPEGMAFIA Obliterates Drake With Multiple Disses On His New Album

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JPEGMAFIA truly does not care. He does what he wants, and he doesn’t apologize. It makes sense, given combative album titles like All My Heroes Are Cornballs (2019) and SCARING THE H*ES (2023). Peggy is bold as ever on his new release, I Lay Down My Life for You, but the sonic experimentalism will definitely be taking a backseat to the combative bars. JPEGMAFIA decided to hop aboard the Drake hate train, and deliver some absolutely brutal insults on the cuts “It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot” and “New Black History.” The rapper goes as far as to coin the phrase “No Drizzy.”

“It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot” is not solely a Drake diss. There are bars aimed at entitled fans and jealous rappers, but the ones aimed at the 6 God are unmistakable. He flips Drake’s 2018 song “No Friends In the Industry” while spotlighting the allegations that the Toronto rapper has been with underage girls. “I can count all of my industry friends on my hands. And my n**gas, they be in demand,” JPEGMAFIA spits. “Obviously, rappers, they know what it is. If I show you a Drac’, I ain’t playin’ with kids.” The use of Drac’ the firearm as a double entendre for Drizzy is another reference, to Kendrick Lamar’s “Euphoria” diss. It is worth pointing out the song’s title evokes DMX’s first album. DMX, of course, was a rapper who very much despised the 6 God.

JPEGMAFIA Coins The Phrase “No Drizzy” On His Album

JPEGMAFIA disses Drake on his new album…

“Rappers they know what it is // If I show you a Drac’, I ain’t playin’ with kids”

— NFR Podcast (@nfr_podcast) August 1, 2024

Then there’s the “No Drizzy” line. The song “New Black History” sees JPEGMAFIA and Vince Staples trade bars over a glitchy instrumental. Staples is predictably excellent during his verse, but Peggy goes for the throat on his. “‘Specially when ya’ll cashing out for PDF’s and rapers (No Drizzy),” he raps. “I hope ya’ll paid attention, no really, I’m dyin’. I killed myself, tell them to kill me (Hey).” Oof. “No Drizzy” comes from the same place as “No Diddy,” which took the internet by storm earlier this year. The phrase was a way to denote sus behavior, while referencing the horrid allegations leveled at Diddy.

JPEGMAFIA equating Drake with Diddy is perhaps the most devastating diss made by anyone not named Kendrick Lamar. This, of course, is nothing new for the rapper. JPEGMAFIA has been a Drake hater since day one. “I been randomly dissing Drake for like five years,” he told DJ Booth in 2019. “Don’t know why. I guess, because [it’s] Drake. He’s so big that yeah I have been dissing him for five years, just because like he’s big as f*ck.” Peggy’s disses are a bit more heated on the new album, though, so there may be more to the hating than internet trolling. When Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams” diss dropped on May 3, JPEGMAFIA tweeted: “I’m no longer the biggest Drake hater. Kendrick Unbelievable.” We agree, but the rapper is giving Dot a run for his money.

Fat Joe Claims J Cole’s Legacy Is Tarnished By Kendrick Lamar Battle

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

J Cole is in a weird place. The rapper wasn’t defeated in combat the way Drake was. The fact that he chose to forfeit, and cede ground to Kendrick Lamar, though, has been viewed by many as a fate worse than defeat. At least Drake stood on his convictions, right? The debate as to whether Cole made a smart or cowardly decision continues to rage on. Fat Joe recently weighed in on the legacy of the Dreamville star during a recent appearance on the Jay Shetty Podcast. He gave J Cole his flowers, but also noted that things will never quite be the same.

“He definitely got a stripe off,” Fat Joe asserted. “They took a stripe off that because in hip-hop, when they call you out, you come out.” The Terror Squad founder acknowledged that J Cole’s sense of self preservation was smart in some ways, but noted that it came at a great cost. “He probably saw that it could get real messy and real ugly,” Fat Joe added. “So he said, ‘You know this ain’t me I don’t want no parts of it.’” Joe’s reputation is ironclad when it comes to rap beef, so it’s hard to argue with his stance. The rapper has gone at everybody, from 2Pac to JAY-Z to 50 Cent, and never backed down. As far as he is concerned, backing down is not an option.

Fat Joe Wishes That J Cole Had Risen To The Challenge

Part of Fat Joe’s reasoning is that beefing on record is not the same as beefing in real life. The rapper was perplexed by J Cole’s decision to throw in the towel, given that his battle with Lamar was strictly a lyrical one. “I had one of the biggest, most dangerous beefs with 50 Cent,” Joe relayed to Shetty. “And I was sitting next to him at the game yesterday, having the best time in the world. We’re brothers.” Once again, the rapper took Cole to task for shying away from competition. “When you’re called out in hip-hop, you gotta respond,” he asserted. “I’m a big fan of J Cole, but it started from that.”

Fat Joe isn’t alone in his thinking. Kanye West absolutely laid into Cole on the “Like That” remix, throwing more shots at the Dreamville star than his supposed “main” target, Drake. The Game was also frustrated by Cole’s reticence to attack Kendrick Lamar. “Hip hop [or] rap or whatever y’all calling it these days was already watered down,” the Compton emcee tweeted. “Then Cole apologized and turned this sh*t into Kool-Aid wit no sugar.” Here’s hoping J Cole can bounce back. We will all agree to forget “Grippy.”

Soulja Boy Threatens Drake After Hearing Alleged “Super Soak” Diss

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake can’t go more than a week without angering another rapper. The Toronto star is still reeling from the fallout of the Kendrick Lamar battle. “Not Like Us” is still near the top of the charts. He claimed that he’s going to get back to making hits for his fans, but he didn’t mention the subs he’d be throwing at his peers. Kai Cenat previewed a Drake and Lil Yachty collab during a recent Twitch stream, and many fans believe the 6 God was taking shots at Soulja Boy. Soulja seemingly agreed, and he took to IG Live to make his feelings on the matter clear.

Soulja Boy did not beat around the bush. He called Drake out by name and told him to stand on business if he wants to beef. “Drake, you up here talkin’ about some S.O.D. super soak,” the rapper posited. “Boy, stop playin wit me, boy. That better be a f*cking shout out, n**ga.” If he finds out that it was a diss, then Soulja Boy is going to declare war on Drake. “You better keep that sh*t light, my boy,” he asserted. “This your first and only warning.” After the warning was made clear, the “Crank That” star got down to talking tough. “This not gon’ be the best idea for you, family,” he told Drizzy. He then urged Drake to “speak on how you feel” so the two men can “get to it.”

Soulja Boy Has Been Criticizing Drake For Years

Soulja Boy and Drake have not had a good relationship over the years. There was a period in which they were cool. Soulja produced the beat for Drake’s classic “We Made It” in 2013, but outside of that, Soulja has made his hatred for the 6 God crystal clear. During his IG Live rant, he joked about Drizzy losing the aforementioned rap battle to Kendrick Lamar. “How the f*ck you let Kendrick Lamar cook yo a*s,” the rapper asked. “And then the first thing you respond is you tryna come at me.” Soulja Boy went on to restate that the OVO founder doesn’t want more smoke. “I’m tellin’ you, my n**ga, Imma get on your a*s,” he promised.

Soulja Boy’s reaction to the Drake and Lil Yachty leak makes sense. “Super Soak” is a title that evokes the rapper’s biggest hit to date. Drake also makes reference to “S.O.D.” aka “stacks on deck,” which is a phrase that Soulja helped popularize in the 2000s. Both of these phrases are weaved into the chorus of the song too, drawing further attention to their use. It’s possible that Drake could be paying tribute to his predecessor. Given how often he likes to throw subs, though, we understand Soulja’s suspicion.

ASAP Rocky Confirms J Cole Collab Amidst Ongoing Drake Beef

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky is pulling out all the stops on his new album. He’s been working on it since last decade, and the list of collaborators he’s lined up is absurd. Don’t Be Dumb is slated to have production from the likes of Madlib, Pharrell, and The Alchemist, just to name a few. Slick Rick (!) and Rihanna have been rumored as potential features. DJ Kast One dropped by Hot 97 on July 26 to hype up the album. He claimed that another superstar will be featured on the album: J Cole.

DJ Kast One told Hot 97 he already heard Don’t Be Dumb. He also claimed that he heard a standout verse from Dreamville’s finest. “I heard J Cole,” he stated. “I heard songs being played.” The untitled, technically confirmed song will be the first collab between the rappers in over a decade. ASAP Rocky dropped a guest verse alongside Cole on the “TKO” remix from 2013. Justin Timberlake’s single also featured bars from Pusha T, in what now amounts to a nightmare blunt rotation for Drake.

ASAP Rocky And Cole Haven’t Worked Together In A Decade

ASAP Rocky and J Cole are generational peers. That’s part of what makes the impending collab so exciting. Well, one of the reasons. ASAP Rocky has been against Drake throughout 2024’s rap civil war. He dissed Drake on Future’s “Show of Hands,” and has stated he plans to do so again on Don’t Be Dumb. J Cole, on the other hand, is a former Drake ally. The rapper was on “First Person Shooter” with Drake, and his line about the “Big 3” started the whole mess. Cole was on Drake’s side until the “7 Minute Drill” debacle. The Dreamville star apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar and then seemingly changed sides. He appeared on the same Future and Metro Boomin album in which Rocky dissed Drake.

To make matters worse for the 6 God, ASAP Rocky plans to diss him again on Don’t Be Dumb. During the same Hot 97 preview, DJ Kast One confirmed that the rapper will be firing back at Drake over the bars he dropped on “Family Matters.” Evidently, J Cole had made the full transformation to being anti-Drake. It was theorized that he dissed the Toronto star on “Red Leather,” but knowingly appearing on an album with Drake disses removes the need for speculation. We’ve come a long way since “In the Morning.”
