Rick Ross Thinks Most Rappers Have The Same Top 3 MCs List For This Reason

by

Rick Ross recently hit up Adin Ross for a livestream together, and they got up to a whole lot of antics. In addition to a broken chair, the duo chopped it up about an array of topics, whether that was everyday pop culture happenings or Rozay’s career in the rap game. On that last point, an inevitable and forever unanswered question in hip-hop came up: who are the best rappers of all time? For this, the Maybach Music Group mogul put Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur, and Jay-Z as his top three. Not only that, but he also explained why a lot of MCs share this exact ranking and why there’s so much overlap among his peers.

“When you hear OGs like myself and other n***as say those names so commonly, it’s because they had the biggest effect,” Rick Ross posited. “These the n***as that we watched get rich. Jay, Puff… that was really that first generation that we watched get rich. Because we’d seen artists that were hugely successful, but were they extremely wealthy? We not sure.” Given that he purchased a billboard in Dubai for his girlfriend recently, we know just how much he manifested inspiration from these figures into his own empire.

Rick Ross Breaks Down His Top 3 Rappers List To Adin Ross, Explains Similarities

Still, the Mississippi native didn’t provide any disrespect or lack of appreciation for that older guard of hip-hop pioneers. For example, he named Run-DMC as one of the most “extremely successful” artists of the Golden Age who didn’t garner the wild commercial success and extracurricular business practices that later lyricists lounged in. “It wasn’t just music,” Rick Ross said of why Big, ‘Pac, and Hov are often considered the greatest among rappers. “They was doing a lot of different s**t.“

Meanwhile, we know one name that for sure won’t appear near any of his lists of praise when it comes to MCs. The 50 Cent beef is as alive as ever, and that’s a narrative that likely won’t slow down anytime soon. Still, if you ask Fif who the top three best rappers are, maybe this disproves the 47-year-old’s theory. But we need a larger sample size for that debacle. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rick Ross.

Cesar Pina “Almost Got Himself” In A Lot Of Trouble, Joe Budden Explains Scuffle

by

Joe Budden recently faced some smoke in real life when Cesar Pina’s brother pulled up on him. For those unaware, Pina is DJ Envy’s business associate, and they both faced a lot of accusations of fraud and shady business deals recently. In fact, it even resulted in The Breakfast Club host’s former (but allegedly current) partner getting arrested. Of course, the Slaughterhouse MC commented on this situation and wasn’t too forgiving to either man. Regardless, he kept his composure when Pina’s brother confronted him, and on his podcast, he went into more detail about what happened. “Wednesday, this n***a rolled over in the spot [a bar],” the rapper began. “Totally empty, completely empty. Tuesday and Wednesday be slow. So it was completely empty in there, me and Big Mo, shout out to Mo. Me and Big Mo roll up in there and sit at the bar.

“Actually, the bar’s crowded,” Joe Budden continued. “So now I sit all the way by the bathroom. For the viewing audience at home, that’s the corner, that’s the cut away from things. You can’t be seen and all of this, yada yada yada. So me and Mo sit there, we chillin’. [I get a drink from someone unknown], the waitress says, ‘Flipping New Jersey.’ Now, I say, I only know one Flipping New Jersey. ‘Oh, s**t, maybe Cease is up in here.’ So I get up, I go outside to this little smoke section, where I could see a little.I don’t see nobody, right? So then she gives a description. ‘Nah, it’s n***a with a skully and glasses. He’s not white, but he’s not black, he’s something.’

Joe Budden Explains Confrontation With Cesar Pina’s Brother: Watch

“It’s not Cesar ‘Flipping New Jersey,’” Joe Budden continued. “So to me now, this is just a weirdo fan being funny, cool. Or maybe somebody who really likes Mo. [Cesar’s brother] sent me the drink, and he keeps getting up and going over, and he’s got some people with him. ‘Just be careful.‘ And I said, ‘Thank you, man. I appreciate that.’ Then his friend gets up, he’s walking, he positions himself at the corner of the bar. What I’m telling you is it was a lot of wocky, goofy s**t going on in there. But now the Lakers were getting smacked, I’m glued to this s**t. As soon as they go into overtime, motherf***ers in the spot hit all the lights, click-click, cut the TVs off, bong! ‘Everybody out!’ You motherf***er, you gotta be kidding me. But that’s cool. Everybody out, it ain’t but five people in there.

“See, that’s the other thing; these clips say somebody pulled up on me,” he concluded. “No, these goofy n***as was just in there. Ain’t nobody pulled up, they was there. All the news is ‘Yo, man, you smoking.’ And ‘Who’s that girl?’ F**k my safety. But anyway, I light the cig, these n***as come out and they just standing there looking like they’re waiting for the Uber. Non-threatening-looking n***as. I still don’t know who this dude is. He pulls his phone out, and that’s what you hear. ‘Budden! Budden!’ I’m like, ‘Please don’t tape me.’ I walk inside, when I walk out, and I have a few words with him. He almost got himself in a real pickle.” For more news and the latest updates on Joe Budden, stay logged into HNHH.

Woah Vicky Explains Why She Pressed Assault Charges Against Chrisean Rock

by

Chrisean Rock apparently assaulted fellow “Baddies” star and social media personality Woah Vicky- and lit the Internet ablaze as a result. Moreover, Vicky pressed charges, which Zeus Network CEO Lemuel Plummer responded to by saying Chrisean never had an altercation on set. Regardless, this caused a lot of people to react wildly to the development, questioning what could’ve happened and remarking that fights are what many people tune into these shows for. As such, a lot of people criticized Vicky for “not taking the heat,” although entertainment shouldn’t go to that extreme, either. With all this in mind, she uploaded a lengthy video to social media explaining her charges and what happened.

Furthermore, Woah Vicky admitted to “snitching” and said that she went on the show to praise God and spread those messages. In addition, she commented on her social media presence and how blogs and pages were obsessed with what she was putting out there. Apparently, something she liked on social media caught Chrisean Rock’s attention, and they had an argument about it. While Vicky tried to apologize, she says that Chrisean threw something at her.

At that point, Woah Vicky said that her emotions “overwhelmed” her at that point because they got along before that. Also, she made the claim that Chrisean Rock would’ve attacked her if a security guard didn’t hold her back. Most importantly, Vicky said that she forgives her and sent Chrisean her blessings. Since she then talked about only her being in the shot, she seemed to imply that their reunion after the altercation was, in fact, during a “Baddies” shoot, although it’s unclear if the throwing incident was. Still, she said Chrisean (or her friend; it’s hazy) then attacked her, and that she hit her back.

Meanwhile, Vicky expressed that others could’ve warned or helped her and called it a set-up, but that she forgives everyone involved. However, that didn’t explain why she chose to go ahead and press charges, although that might be some extra pressure for Chrisean to apologize. We’ll see what other drama the “Cr*zy In Love” star and Vicky get into next. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest on Woah Vicky and Chrisean Rock.

Benny The Butcher Gives Explanation For New Album Delay, But Still Calls It AOTY

by

While Benny The Butcher’s new album Everybody Can’t Go saw a delay, it’s still shaping up to be one of the best rap albums of the year. Moreover, the “Super Plug” rapper recently explained on social media why the album didn’t come out this week as expected. “My album ain’t coming out tonight or tomorrow,” he remarked in the clip. “I wasn’t as ready as I thought I was. Just know when you hear my s**t it’s gonna be better than all this other s**t you’ve been hearing all year.” With its announcement last year (and the proclamation that it would be the best Def Jam album since DMX’s debut), he’s building up a game-shifting release here.

Considering the Griselda affiliate’s incredible body of work so far, this doesn’t seem too hard of a promise to live up to for him. With the help of frequent collaborator Hit-Boy behind the boards for many tracks, Everybody Can’t Go is probably going to be just as good, if not better, than it would’ve been if it released this week. Furthermore, this is understandably not the only time that Benny The Butcher gassed up his own albums. For example, last year’s Tana Talk 4 was a strong album of the year contender as he predicted.

Benny The Butcher Speaks On Album Delay

“While n***as be talking their s**t, who wanna bet my s**t go cr*zy when I drop Tana Talk 4?” Benny The Butcher said back then in an Instagram video. “If anybody doubting me, who wanna bet? What we talking about? Who wanna bet me? I know the same n***as who be talking that s**t. What are we doing right now? Album of the year, who wanna bet me right now? Album of the year for consideration, before it even came out or even heard a single. I got 10 bands to anyone’s five, and I got 20 bands to anyone’s 10. Who wants to take that bet?”

Meanwhile, this is a huge and wonderful year for the 38-year-old regardless of Everybody Can’t Go, though that’s certainly a plus. He recently announced that he married his longtime girlfriend. Congratulations to the newlyweds, and we wish them all the happiness in the world; specifically, we wish this album will be as good as it sounds on paper. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Benny The Butcher.

Saweetie Explains Liking Shady Tweet Directed At Lil Nas X

by

Everybody’s been in a situation where we might like a tweet with pictures without reading the caption. Unfortunately for celebrities, that might get you involved in some beef. Saweetie recently explained why she liked a tweet that threw shade at Lil Nas X and his Lollapalooza Chile performance this year. Of course, people took that to mean that she held ill will towards the MONTERO star, or just found the attack on him funny. However, Saweetie clarified her reasoning in a subsequent tweet and denied dissing Lil Nas X.

“I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced,” the shady tweet in question read. While it’s still an assumption, at least it doesn’t stray into legitimately bigoted rhetoric. After many pointed out Saweetie’s like and called her out, she explained in a Twitter message. “He was lookin fine af,” the “Icy Chain” star wrote. “That’s why I liked the video I didn’t see the shadiness …. *unlikes*.” At least she also clarified that it was enough of a dealbreaker to unlike the tweet if it suggested Lil Nas X slander.

Saweetie Clarifies Liking Shady Tweet At Lil Nas X

In other news concerning the 29-year-old, she recently spoke on being referred to as “Queen of the Bay.” Even though she expressed appreciation, she wasn’t quick to agree with the moniker. “I don’t want to self-proclaim the ‘Queen statement.’ When I’m in certain cities or certain areas, they’ll just call me this and call me that. I’ve been called the ‘Queen of California’ and many queen things. It’s not something I’m trying to title, that’s why I had another voice say it on my [Single Life] project. I don’t like it when people self-proclaim.”

Meanwhile, during his Lollapalooza set, the “INDUSTRY BABY” artist debuted a upcoming collab with Saucy Santana, “Down Souf Hoes.” They’ve been performing it since 2022, and fans are clamoring to get a release as soon as possible. Fortunately, both stars are not stopping anytime soon. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X and Saweetie.
