Lil Yachty Hilariously Previews New Track On IG To Some Lukewarm Reactions

March 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With music, everyone knows it is a subjective art form. People are going to have differing opinions on artists and that is what makes it such an interesting thing to discuss. For example, not everyone is going to think that Lil Yachty has been evolving as an artist. At the end of the day that is okay. The reason we bring this up is because the Georgia multi-talent has recently previewed a new track on Instagram. Lil Yachty appears to be interpolating the 1997 R&B record “Swing My Way” by K.P. and Envyi.

This teaser has been collecting some iffy reactions from fans in DJ Akademiks comment section. One person writes, “His longevity of mid needs to be studied.” Another even says Lil Yachty is trying to copy Veeze’s style, “ngl dis a waste of this beat n sample n****s think they can sound lazy on every beat like they veeze.” However, as expected fans in Lil Boat’s post about “Swing My Way” were more favorable.

He asked fans, “swing my way.. should I drop this?¿” They reacted with glee, saying things like, Since Poland bro been allergic to missing ” One person loves it, but encourages him to wait for the seasons to change. “Summer anthem potential fr fr u should sit on it until it’s a little warmer out.” With the hotter months right around the corner, this could be a smart move. Only time will tell, but this could be another feather in Boat’s cap.

What are your thoughts on Lil Yachty’s upcoming new track “Swing My Way?” Is this another hit for him, or a snoozer? Can you think of anyone who is on a better run right now? When do you think he should drop this and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Chrisean Rock Tweet About Her “Daddy” Confuses Fans

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock is back to confusing her fans (and haters) with her latest post on social media. “Idc idc I love my daddy so much can’t wait till u get here n-ggasaa ugghh aaaahhhh,” Rock wrote on X, formerly Twitter. As mentioned, fans were seemingly confused about who the tweet was for. Was it about Blueface, who Rock is seemingly living with again? Was it about a mystery man who was grabbed Rock’s attention? Or was there another explanation entirely?

“At the end of the day only god knows what’s best for you chrisean! Don’t let the negativity bring you down! Hope all is well with you and the baby have a good night ,” one fan wrote in response to the bizarre tweet. “I’m ready for him to get out, bc I know you must miss him, I’m praying that with him sitting down for a minute he realizes how much you love him & more only hoping for the best, free your bd ,” added another.

Does Chrisean Rock Jr. Have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?

Meanwhile, Rock has been facing plenty of hate online in recent days. Fans were whipped into a frenzy after pregnancy photos showing Rock drinking emerged online. Later, new footage of her son, Chrisean Jr, led internet users to start speculating as to whether the child was suffering from fetal alcohol frenzy. This only accelerated in severity after the infamous Drama Alert began resharing the rumors.

There is no substantiated evidence that Chrisean Jr is suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. However, that has never stopped people from speculating, especially when it comes to Rock and Blueface. For her part, Rock has mostly ignored the new wave of hate. Instead, Rock boasted that her declining follower counts don’t worry her because she’s still making bank. “The more y’all hate the more popular I become I don’t give a fuck about losing followers I get paid off my engagement/ algorithm if I’m getting 60 plus million views on my post 400k plus comments my promo prices just goes up or anything I sell stay sold out . So continue the hate train it makes me hella money ,” Rock wrote earlier in the week.

GloRilla Gives Dating Advice But Fans Aren’t Feeling It

January 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla took to social media to give some dating advice about dating multiple men at once. “Ladies, don’t show favoritism among your n-ggas. Because as soon as your favorite n-gga mad, he gon be cursing your other n-ggas out just for a motherf-cker saying good morning! Don’t show favoritism with y’all n-ggas. That favorite n-gga sh-t a motherf-cker,” Glo said while out shopping. Glo has been previously open about her dating habits and how she doesn’t tend to stick to a single person.

However, it is advice that has not gone over well. “The ladies are doomed if they need her advice on something ,” one person joked. “Or just not mess around with multiple people,” countered another. “We finna see her POSTING & SAYING dumb SH*T bc she wanna show off THAT CHEST ,” theorized a third. Glo’s newly-enhanced chest was on full display as the rapped rocked a lowcut halter top. How do you feel about Glo’s advice? Let us know in the comments.

GloRilla Attends Ja Morant’s First Game Back in Memphis

Meanwhile, Glo closed out 2023 by taking in some local basketball. Glo and Moneybagg Yo were two of the famous faces in attendance for the Grizzlies’ December 21 game. The matchup against the Pacers also marked Ja Morant’s first game back on his home court since his 25-game suspension ended. Moneybagg was seen linking up with Morant after the game while Glo got very vocal from her courtside seats.

Morant had 20 points in the 13-point win, meaning that the Grizzlies are now 2-0 since Morant returned. However, the Grizzlies’ dismal start to the season means that the 2-0 run has only elevated the team to 8-19 on the season. However, Morant was arguably not the star of the show. Desmond Bane had a team-high 31 points. The Grizzlies went on a four-game winning streak to begin Morant’s return to the team. However, the team has cooled considerably since then and has gone 2-4 in their last six games. Morant is averaging a team-high 25.1 points through his first nine games back.

Glorilla Says She’s Being A “Simp” In Her New Music

January 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Glorilla, a hip-hop artist, just hinted that she’s changing her music style to something softer. This surprised fans who were used to her intense and bold sound. The “F.N.F.” rapper has been exploring new sounds in general as of lately, and it’s been experimental to watch. The change was revealed through a tweet where a fan shared they loved listening to Glorilla’s music, especially because it seemed to express dislike towards men. Glorilla responded with laughing emojis, saying she’s going for a softer vibe in her new songs. “Listening to Glorilla non-stop in the car she hate n***as as much as I do.” And Glorilla responded with laughing emojis and said “I’m being a simp on my new s**t y’all.”

This unexpected shift got a mixed reaction from fans. Some were excited about the change, while others preferred her old, intense style. It shows how artists can face challenges when trying something new. Not everyone may like it. Fans responded to the interaction with mixed reactions. “Keep that s**t we don’t wanna hear it, respectfully,” someone said. “I love her, I just wish she talked less.. that’s how they be messing theirselves up. Just shut up and make music sis,” another said. Someone else playfullywrote, “Oh no thank you sis I wanna continue to hate em.”

The conversation on social media also touched on how artists connect with their fans online. Some fans welcomed the change, while others advised Glorilla to focus more on making music and less on talking. This divergence in opinions highlights the challenge artists face when navigating shifts in their musical style. As fans may either embrace change or long for the familiarity of the artist’s established sound.

Moreover, in the dynamic landscape of hip-hop, where artists often evolve and experiment with their sound, Glorilla’s decision to explore a softer musical style reflects the industry’s constant evolution. However, the tweet exchange not only provided a sneak peek into the rapper’s mindset but also hinted at her willingness to venture into different aspects of her artistry. Furthermore, as Glorilla explores this new musical direction, fans are curious to see how it will be received. The hip-hop community is waiting to hear her softer sound and how it will connect with her audience. This move by Glorilla shows that the world of hip-hop is always changing, with artists trying new things to express themselves.

Kevin Gates Says He’d Put Finesse2Tymes’ “Legs In The Air,” Fans Debate What He Means

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Comments made by Kevin Gates and Finesse2Tymes during a recent livestream have led to people speculating about the sexuality of the two men. The speculation primarily stems from Gates asking Finessee if he would “put his feet in the air”. Finesse responds by saying that “if I thought something wrong with you, I would put your f-cking feet in the air”. Many people have taken this as reference to a sexual act. However, it’s more likely a threat of violence. Based on common street slang, to “put your feet in the air” is to kill someone. Finesse is more likely saying that he would not struggle to end Gates if the situation demanded it.

“He literally means “kill me” knocked off yo feet. Put my feet in the air. Yall WANT men to be gay and that’s the weirdest shit to me,” one person lamented. “Y’all so strange he basically say If he ever cross him out his feet in the air as in unalive him and hold him accountable for his actions,” added another. “Clearly he said can u send me to god if i break any codes that’s why he said hold me accountable,” agreed a third.

Tokyo Toni Goes After Kevin Gates

However, online commenters aren’t the only people coming for Gates as of late. Tokyo Toni also went after Gates during a Thanksgiving livestream with her daughter. Blac Chyna and Toni had been on a calling together when Toni began ranting about transgender people and “letting people be who they want to be”. After giving an example from their only family, Toni abruptly changed topics to attack Gates. “There’s a lot of freaky people out there, like Kevin Gates. He got two wives and a he got a big butt.” A thoroughly confused Chyna left the call but Toni just kept going. “I just found he’s from Morocco. That is their religion.”

Of course, Toni is no stranger to just spouting off out-of-pocket about people. In September, Toni took to Instagram to diss Beyonce in a freestyle. “She got all this f-cking money. She got y’all looking f-cking dumb. Who the f-ck gon pay that money anyway. For a bad man’s b-tch who use a fan all day? Stop the fan, two things gon happen. The b-tch gon turn into a jackal. She gotta keep that f-cking demon down. She keep that hair flowing, pounds. It’s crazy as sh-t, round for round. Costumes on, what the f-ck she got on her f-cking page? Costumes…from early age? What the f-ck she got that wilda– voodoo sh-t,” Toni rapped.

November 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Trippie Redd became a father this week, taking to social media to share images of his newborn son. However, the child, named Saint Michael, came as a shock to most of the rapper’s fanbase. “Bro just be randomly dropping bombshells like it’s nothing and then expecting us to pick up the pieces for him and create context,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “What i wanna know is who the hell did he get pregnant if that actually is HIS kid. if so then congratulations to bro but i got so many questions!! this past week has been one huge mind f-ck ,” added another. The shock announcement led made to wonder if this was just weird promotional material for Red’s upcoming album.

However, there were more than a few trolls reacting to the news. Namely, these people were reacting to the fact that Red’s son was white. “Triple white” is what one Instagram user dubbed the child. “Bro saw the success of Adonis and decided to have a kid,” another added on Reddit, referring to Drake’s son. However, others tried to keep the waters clear. One pointed out that Redd’s last album alluded to infidelity and here was Redd, with a new album and a now a child. What do you think is going on? Let us know in the comments.

As mentioned, it’s been a very busy week for fans of the rapper. Earlier this week, Redd dropped one half of his new album, Saint Michael. Eagle-eyed readers will note that that is the same name as his newborn son. The album was announced as a surprise to fans on Red’s social media. “SAINT MICHAEL THE SUPRISE ALBUM FRIDAY 7 songs now 7 songs later … 14 comment below I’d like to thank you all for supporting me let’s take a moment to space our minds and rage through depression to rid the negativity .”

It’s Redd’s third release of the year, following the Chief Keef-produced MANSION MUSIK and later, A Love Letter To You 5.

Despite this, fans have been left stunned and confused by the whirlwind of a week that Redd has subjected them to.

J. Cole Explains “Everybody Dies” Diss, Fans Accuse Him Of “Condoning” Bad Rappers

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview on Lil Yatchy’s podcast, J. Cole explained what he really meant in his 2016 song “Everybody Dies”. The song was widely taken as a diss against younger rappers who had “Lil” in their stage name. “That wasn’t [just] the new generation,” he said. “That was everybody. My generation, that generation, the older generation. There’s a, ‘Will you take a break please?’ [line in there.] Like, ‘N-gga, how long you been doing that sh-t for?’ At that time it was that, but I understand how it was perceived that way and how that added to the narrative,” he explained.

Furthermore, Cole explained that he fully took back the diss after some self-reflection. “And my knee jerk reaction to that music [in 2016] was the same. I’m once again grateful because it’s the second time that happened in my life I had to have a conversation with myself like, ‘N-gga, you are hating! You not embracing. It’s the same thing you had to go through when you was a kid with snap music.’ [So I asked myself], ‘What is amazing about these dudes?’ and I switched my mindset,” he continued.

Fans Accuse Cole Of Condoning “Trash” Rappers

However, Cole’s explanation didn’t sit well with a number of fans. In their eyes, Cole’s comments “condoned” some of the less-talented rappers making it big in 2023. “I’m sorry, but we need to stop making excuses to condone the garage caliber of music that a lot of young artist get popular from. This is not a reflection of the generation or trending styles of embraced music, but simply because it has become easier to release music. These rappers care nothing about being musicians or artistic but rather getting attention. Stop condoning these gimmicks!!” one person noted on social media.

Another went after Cole for flip-flopping. “I like Jcole, but he’s forcing himself to like something he don’t. Just be real and stand on it.” Meanwhile, another critic was even blunter with their comments. “Cole folded now he f-ck with the mumble rappers he used to diss smh.” But what do you think? Is Cole simply being more open to music that might not be his taste on first listen? Or is he being too open and giving flowers to the undeserving? Let us know in the comments.

Kid Cudi Speaks On Song That He Scrapped Because Fans Didn’t Like The Snippet At All

September 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When you’re an artist as big, creative, and adventurous as Kid Cudi, not all your songs and albums will hit for your entire audience. In fact, he has more than a few in his discography that fans straight up flamed, although some eventually realized their worth that they didn’t understand at the time. Still, sometimes you just swing and miss, but the Cleveland native isn’t ashamed of those misses at all. Moreover, he recently responded to a fan that asked whether people recall when he uploaded a song snippet on TikTok that got so clowned on that he took it down.

“Yes I do!!” Kid Cudi responded to the Twitter user’s question with a laughing emoji. “Im not ashamed of this, I still like the song actually, just wasnt what the people were lookin for. Its all good, when INSANO drops, we’ll see whats what.” Actually, it’s a bit unclear whether the Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven artist left the song in the dust or if he just deleted the snippet and still plans to release the song. Either way, it’s a calm, fair, and understanding way of responding to negative fan feedback.

Kid Cudi Reflects On Deleted Song Snippet

After all, this is the kind of positivity and playful attitude that Kid Cudi always embodies. For example, when he hopped on the McDonald’s Grimace shake trend and fans thought he was too old to tweet that it gave him “poopy pants,” his response was unfazed. “Soooo im suppose to like, lose my childlike spirit becuz im almost 40??” the 39-year-old tweeted. “Maybe thatll be ur sad fate my friend, but ima be a happy silly dude til im old and grey.

“I see people dont get my humor and thats ok but dont be an a**hole on here cuz im being myself,” he continued. “I dont care what anyone thinks, ima always be myself. My silly goofy self. And my friends and family love me for it. As u get older life sucks ur soul from u bit by bit and u lose that light u had inside when u were a kid. Ive always fought to preserve this spirit becuz I knew I didnt want to lose it.” On that note, stick around for more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi.

Fans Are Loving Nicki Minaj’s “Call Of Duty” Operator

August 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

August 24 marked the release of the Nicki Minaj bundle in Call of Duty. For $20/2400 CoD Points, you could play as the Trini rapper in all her badass pink glory. The bundle comes with the Nicki skin, themed weapon blueprints (“The Baddest” and “Super Freaky”), a pin-up loading screen, and a skin for the Hummer. Nicki also has access to several unique finishers, including “Get Bodied”. In the brutal move, Nicki jumps onto the back of a downed opponent and grinds her stilettos in their skull. The bundle is currently available for Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0. Furthermore, it will carry over into Modern Warfare III when it drops in November.

The release was announced with a new gameplay trailer that perfectly blended a look at the operator in action with several well-chosen Nicki references. As with the original reveal of the skin, people are actually pretty hyped to play as Nicki. “I don’t know how to play but ima learn!,” announced JT of The City Girls. FaZe Dirty posted a gif of a man offering his credit card to the camera. However, not everyone was a fan. Some saw the skin, and the overall hip hop theming, as Call of Duty attempting to capitalize on the Fortnite model of integrating media IP into the game. But how are people feeling now that it’s playable?

Fans Revel In Playable Nicki Minaj

In short, fans are loving the bundle. Numerous videos have surfaced online of players running riot with the skin. One video from Nicki fan account “Island Boy” shows a player absolutely dominating with the skin. The player racks up kills while also showcasing the wide variety of Nicki voice lines. Meanwhile, another clip shows a streamer becoming distraught when they realize that they have just killed another player wearing the Nicki skin. As they look down at the dead Nicki, they themselves are killed. This leads them to proclaim “Oh my god, my pussy is on Nicki’s face.” Side note, it appears that Nicki goes down in a cloud of pink smoke if you manage to kill her.

No word on whether Nicki herself has tried the skin yet. However, it’s safe to say that fans are hyped and happy. Meanwhile, Nicki’s making headlines elsewhere. “Barbie World”, Minaj’s track with Ice Spice for Barbie, has hit #1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay Chart, which tracks radio plays on “rhythmic radio stations”. Not only was this achieved by a 31% increase in airplay, but it also broke a record. The song’s rise from #7 to #1 was the biggest jump recorded since the chart was first published in 1992.
