Pusha T Trends As Fans Fantasize About His Reaction To Kendrick Lamar’s Drake & J. Cole Diss

by

Pusha T is someone who is not friendly with Drake. Overall, the feud between the two had been ongoing for years, but it was happening below the surface. However, once 2018 came around, all bets were off. Push ended up dropping a diss track called “Story Of Adidon,” which had some huge revelations about Drake’s personal life. It was one of the most scathing diss tracks we have heard in quite some time, and fans continue to talk about it. In fact, whenever Drake is dissed, fans harken back to Pusha’s song.

A great example of this is what happened today with Kendrick Lamar. By now, you probably know that he dissed Drake and J. Cole on the track “Like That.” This song is on the new Future and Metro Boomin album called We Don’t Trust You. In this track, Kendrick says he is not part of a big three, and that his music will outlast Drake’s. All of these disses are done in a much subtler way, but we digress.

With this diss out in the ether, Pusha T began trending on social media. As you can see from the tweets below, fans began to fantasize about how Push must be feeling about all of this. It even led to some humorous memes, and questions about why Pusha T didn’t at least get a couple of bars on the song. Having Pusha T on the song probably would have been overkill. That said, there is no doubt that he is probably sitting back and laughing at the situation.

Kendrick Lamar Steals Big Sean’s Shine Again, Fans React To “LIKE THAT” & “Precision”

by

Kendrick Lamar set the rap world on fire overnight thanks to his verse on “LIKE THAT” off Metro Boomin and Future’s new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU. On it, he dissed the concept of a “Big Three” in 2010s hip-hop, calling out his other competitors Drake and J. Cole for their sneak disses and for not being on his level. Overall, the Compton lyricist also had a lot of other elements that made that guest verse great, but it’s only been a couple of hours since it dropped and fans are still reeling from this assertive performance. What’s more is that a lot of fans are also seeing how history repeats itself in hip-hop sometimes, thanks to another big release this week.

Moreover, according to many reactions on social media, Kendrick Lamar upstaged Big Sean again by dissing the rap game, just like he had done 11 years ago on their Jay Electronica-assisted collab “Control.” This time around, Kendrick’s verse overshadowed conversation around Sean’s new song “Precision” and excitement for his upcoming album. Obviously, saying that either MC completely made the other irrelevant is a big stretch, and the Detroit spitter still got plenty of deserved love for his skill. But at the end of the day, a lot of fans found it curious how he just keeps getting bad luck when it comes to stepping to the pgLang creative.

In addition, this is made all the more interesting thanks to Big Sean’s recently released “Anderson Estate” freestyle. On that loosie, he also disses the concept of the “Big Three,” shading Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Drake, and the reverence of them in hip-hop discourse. It’s definitely true that this assessment can unfairly leave others out of the conversation, but that’s just the nature of competition. Check out reactions to this rift down below.

Kendrick Lamar Breaks The Internet With Drake & J. Cole Diss: See What Fans Had To Say

by

Kendrick Lamar is a rapper who takes his time between releases. However, this has made some contemporary rap fans angry. Most are not used to artists taking their time. Instead, they are used to being given a new project every year. Consequently, it has led to Kendrick being underestimated. It has also led to people claiming that Drake and J. Cole are above him right now. Well, it seems as though Kendrick has been listening to these critiques, and he decided to respond.

By now, you have probably heard “Like That” on Future and Metro Boomin’s new album We Don’t Trust You. On this song, Kendrick takes direct shots at Drake and Cole. He says that there is no such thing as a big three and that it is just “big me.” He also claims that their music is a “light pack” while also noting that Prince lived longer than Michael Jackson. For those who don’t get it, Drake is considered the MJ of rap, and back in the day, Prince and MJ had a rivalry, with Prince being seen as the more risk-taking and experimental artist. Needless to say, Kendrick took some heavy shots.

Moreover, Kendrick was praised for this verse with some saying that this is the best he has sounded in years. Others said these bars will cut deep, and that we could very well see a summer of diss tracks and back and forths. Only time will tell if this is the case.

The Internet Weighs In

Big Sean Unleashes “Anderson Estate Freestyle”: Fans React To The Good, The Bad & The Disses

by

Big Sean just dropped the “Anderson Estate” freestyle on his social media, building up an upcoming single and album rollout that has fans salivating at the mouth. Moreover, this is a pretty lyrically dense, low-key, and old-school display of skill from him, delivering calm but introspective and reflective bars over a woozy J Dilla flip (from “Drop” by The Pharcyde) from Boi-1da, Leon Thomas, and Jahaan Sweet. Furthermore, it prompted a lot of discussion online around the Detroit MC’s bars, demeanor, next moves, and quality of performance on here. Overall, there was a lot of praise online, further cementing that he no longer represents the corny image that folks had of him when his career was at its commercial peak of visibility.

What’s exciting about the “Anderson Estate” freestyle is that it shows this peak could still be bested by more developed artistry and a consistent effort to be the best. For example, one of the most notable bars on here that fans went wild over was when Big Sean seemed to reference Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole. “I think where I lack most as an artist is consistency / I just haven’t had the energy to compete with enemies,” he spits on the cut. “Or y’all so-called bigger three / But every verse I lay, fans love to say, ‘Man, n****s is sleep!’”

With the hotter months just weeks around the corner, music festival season is beginning to ramp up. Rolling Loud in Inglewood, California just wrapped up this past weekend with tons of incredible headliners. Lovers & Friends will be taking place at the start of May in Las Vegas. Of course, you cannot forget about Coachella as well, which will kick off the weekend of April 12, while the second run will begin on April 19. Another staple music festival in the hip-hop and R&B community that we have to mention is Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2024.

The famous New York radio station has the longest running event out of all of the ones listed, beginning in 1994. Plenty of legends have headlined it from Nas, Queen Latifah, and Wu-Tang Clan, are just some to name. However, after Hot 97 announced Summer Jam 2024, according to HipHopNMore, fans were very let down by the leading artists. The one-day event will be held at UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders NHL team, on June 2.

MC Hammer Fans Thought He Passed Away Due To #RIPHammer Twitter Trend

by

MC Hammer is untouchable when it comes to one-hit wonders in hip-hop, and still holds a lot of cultural weight. As such, you may have noticed that rap Twitter recently went into a firestorm because #RIPHammer was trending on the social media platform. Fans thought that he had passed away, and a lot of them got that sentiment popularized and trending before seeing what the trend was actually about. Needless to say, the rapper is actually doing just fine, and his fans or folks with a lot of nostalgia have no reason to fret. Still, they should learn about the real reason why #RIPHammer was trending.

This is not due to MC Hammer, but rather to UFC fighter Mark Coleman’s dog, Hammer. Furthermore, Coleman saved his family, specifically his parents, from a devastating fire in their home, but their dog tragically passed away. As the story gained more traction online, folks tagged #RIPHammer, and it wasn’t a reference Tupac’s “loved and respected” friend. “Yall need to be more specific with these hashtags,” one fan expressed. “When I saw #RIPHammer trending I thought we loss one of music’s greatest.”

MC Hammer Fans Almost Start Mourning Due To Twitter Trend

But MC Hammer isn’t really in the spotlight like that anymore, although there’s clearly still a lot of care and concern for his well-being and interest in his celebrity status. It’s also nabbed him a couple of new brand and partnership deals from which he can continue to profit and make a living. For example, the 61-year-old teamed up with Cheetos for a Super Bowl ad in 2020 celebrating 30 years since his smash hit, “U Can’t Touch This.” While the song definitely sounds dated at this point, it’s also quite remarkable how it continues to pop up in pop culture.

Nevertheless, did you fall for this Twitter trend’s confusion or is this all completely fresh news to you? What’s the last time a trending topic made you do a double take? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, as always, for more news on MC Hammer and the latest curious happenings in the rap world, stay posted on HNHH.

Speaker Knockerz Fans React To New Posthumous Album Announcement

by

Speaker Knockerz passed away ten years ago, and he remains one of the most influential and under-appreciated artists of the 2010s decade. Fortunately, many fans in retrospect and his OG supporters have done a lot since then to do right by his memory and legitimize his stamp in the game, and so have artists. However, a recent announcement has them scratching their heads, expressing skepticism, or downright indignantly condemning the rapper’s circle’s decision. A posthumous album titled The GOAT will release tomorrow (Friday, March 15), and many are unhappy with how his legacy is seemingly being exploited with this project after so long.

Moreover, similar complaints emerged in recent years against other posthumous releases, such as new albums from King Von or XXXTENTACION. Still, we’re not exactly sure of how this album from Speaker Knockerz will come together in terms of its material. Will these be old tracks, demos, features, and other songs that never saw an official release in the light of day? Or is this a compilation of his greatest hits and fan favorites over the years? Either way, and to varying degrees, everyone is raising their eyebrows at this decision.

Furthermore, other fans fear that this will involve A.I. voice replication to craft a “new” Speaker Knockerz verse. But another aspect to consider is that he was also a producer, and thus, this could be a beat tape as indicated by his reportedly official Instagram account. So while there’s still a lot of confusion around this drop, there’s also a possibility that it won’t be as exploitative, greed-fueled, or disrespectful as fans believe certain posthumous projects have been in the past from other fallen artists. Check out more reactions to this announcement down below.

Fans React

Meanwhile, what do you think about the release of The GOAT tomorrow? Will this result in a fitting homage to the South Carolina legend like other well-received posthumous releases, or will it falter? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, for more news and updates on Speaker Knockerz, stick around on HNHH.

Playboi Carti Fans React With Glee As “Ketamine” Seemingly Meets Expectations

by

Playboi Carti has been teasing fans with a new album for well over a year at this point. However, he has yet to actually release it. In fact, he seems to be hinting at a 2024 release for an album that is supposed to be called I Am Music. A few months ago, he dropped five singles in succession but didn’t go beyond that. Moreover, he refused to put the songs on any streaming platforms. This has subsequently annoyed fans, who now have to go to YouTube to listen to the songs.

Throughout the last couple of weeks, Carti fans have lamented about just how directionless his rollout has been. With no new songs since January, fans were getting restless. Thankfully, on Tuesday night, Carti turned the tides and dropped a brand new banger called “Ketamine.” This new track clocks in just under two minutes in length. However, it is a punchy banger that has mobilized the Carti fanbase on social media. Below, you can find the music video for the new song, which was first posted to Instagram.

This song features Carti’s new deep voice, and there is definitely a lot of energy here. As you can see in the tweets down below, fans are loving the new track. Sure, there are some detractors, but that has always been the case with Carti. He is a polarizing artist, and sometimes, that leads to some arguments on social media. That said, fans are hoping that an album gets announced soon. Otherwise, it could be a very long few months for Carti fans, who have been played with enough.

Carti Continues To Shine

Doja Cat Deactivates Instagram Due To Fan Toxicity, Users Clap Back

by

Doja Cat announced via Instagram on Saturday (March 9) that she would be deactivating her account on the social media platform, and as of writing this article, it has in fact disappeared. “hey i’m gonna deactivate because im not really feeling this anymore,” she captioned her last picture on the app so far. “you guys take care of yourselves. i like coming here to find inspo and see people being creative but i just feel like this is getting to be too much. the way im spoken to on here and treated makes me have f***ed up thoughts. Please watch how you talk to and about people on the internet. Bye.”

Moreover, many fans had pretty bewildered reactions considering the complicated relationship that the Los Angeles star has with her fanbase. In August of last year, she didn’t reciprocate fans saying they loved her and said that people calling themselves “Kittenz” as fans of her needed to “get a job.” Doja Cat is definitely appreciative of all the success and of the opportunities across her career, but only to a certain extent. As such, a lot of people criticized this decision to leave IG and blaming fans for turning their backs, whether that’s justified or not.

Doja Cat Announces IG Deactivation

On the other hand, Doja Cat has also been in plenty of controversies that have also brought about a lot of backlash. For example, there’s her very old history of participating in racist chat rooms, which definitely ran its course and is something she grew from. However, more recent drama such as the Scarlet creative’s supposedly naive endorsement of Sam Hyde, whom she apparently didn’t know was tied to the alt-right, have made these developments fall under darker context. But it’s tough to call how much of this Instagram leave is due to legitimate criticism or undue hate, because she’s gotten a lot of both recently.

Meanwhile, this is all rather saddening because of what Doja is going through elsewhere. The court recently denied her a restraining order against her allegedly abusive brother. Hopefully there is not enough danger there to warrant one down the road, and that the family can move on from this chapter. For more news and the latest updates on Doja Cat, stick around on HNHH.

Meek Mill Shouts Out Mystery Woman Who Raps His Song Perfectly, Fans Question It

by

Meek Mill is a big fan of his fans, often shouting out their praises on his social media or advocating for them in his messages and industry moves. Moreover, it’s no surprise that he would want to shout out a mystery woman (well, not mystery: she’s content creator Aggy Baby) that rapped his track “Whatever I Want” with Fivio Foreign on her Instagram Story on his own IG page. The Philly MC has always engaged in this type of behavior online, yet recent context seems to have made fans forget that. For example, many folks such as this commenter had another interpretation of this: “he’s still on this ‘look at me, I’m not gay’ tour!“

Furthermore, this narrative is something that has plagued Meek Mill in a nastily homophobic way (a sad two-way street) ever since he was implicitly mentioned in a sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy. This was his response to comedian Andrew Schulz making fun of this matter. “the first time I laughed at being gay,” the HEATHENISM rapper tweeted in response to Schulz’s joke with a bunch of laughing emojis. “But don’t with me in real life I May swing lol.”

Elsewhere, though, Meek Mill is focusing back up on his commitment to his community. “If you black or brown talk about this,” he said of a recent shooting in his home city that injured eight children, two of which were in critical condition. “It’s kids that’s gonna pick up guns because they think they gonna die b4 they turn 21 for a gun license! You will go from Xbox to Glock because of your environment. And get locked up for trying to survive. It it’s terrible!

“I wanna help [the mayor] especially with education…” the 36-year-old continued in a follow-up tweet. “I have dreams of working with the Yas foundation with dream chasers academy to offer these kids resources with technology and to travel outside of that environment to understand life! I’m in on reform ima join helping with education!” For more news and the latest updates on Meek Mill, come back to HNHH.
