Ice Spice Fans Are Asking Her For More Variety Amid Lukewarm Reception To New Song Snippet

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice has a couple of big hits and a signature sound all her own, but it’s starting to tire out a lot of her core fanbase. Moreover, she recently shared a new song snippet with her die-hards on social media, and as you can see in the comments section of the Instagram post below, they aren’t super impressed. This is because it sounds very similar to these other tracks. Sure, every single Jersey/drill beat can’t always sound unique, but the Bronx femcee has a lot of potential to experiment with more flows and fittingly attack other styles of production.

In fact, Ice Spice fans prompted a lot of viral discussions around her as of late, one of these being her sudden weight loss. While some fans claim that she uses Ozempic, her recent post of her intense workout routine seems to discredit that or at least make it a less likely possibility. Either way, the 24-year-old faces more pressure than most in every aspect of her career. We can’t say that demands for her to switch up her sound aren’t invalid, but rarely before did young careers like these have so many backseat drivers clamoring to design its path forward.

Elsewhere, the supposed beef between Ice Spice and Latto continues to be a big part of their narratives on social media. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” 2 Chainz’s son hilariously asked the Atlanta femcee during their podcast episode. “Oh my God, here we go,” she answered. “Let me tell you something, Halo. I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.”

Meanwhile, other supposed feuds, such as falling out with Nicki Minaj, still define Ice Spice’s current proliferation online among fans. It’s a bit unfair and certainly unnecessary, but a reality nonetheless. We’ll see how she chooses to move forward and what her next moves will be after Y2K. Maybe this is the marker that will precede a new era with a new sound.

Big Sean’s New Album “Better Me Than You” Splits Fans & Haters On Social Media

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean has finally released his new album Better Me Than You, and fans are quite happy to witness his growth and development as a rapper. Moreover, there were all sorts of reactions online, many of them being impressed praises of the new project. Of course, there were also plenty of folks who chose not to listen to it at all, which is surely its own form of disappointment and frustration when compared to the people that actively disliked what they heard. Nevertheless, the Detroit MC has a lot he should be proud of on this new LP, especially after what he endured to make it here.

“When you make art, you put your heart into this s**t,” Big Sean said earlier this week on Instagram Live, tearfully addressing his new album and his career trajectory. “When I had COVID last week, I was down. And I was still working on the album. When I last dropped an album, it was COVID. I was excited to plan my release party, I was excited to do all of that. [My mother,] she was giving me them words. And I was just like, look, I can keep working on some s**t and make it exactly how I wanted. But I’d be pushing it back forever.”

What’s more is that Big Sean dropped some other material alongside Better Me Than You to give fans even more of what they’ve waited for. One of these cuts includes a surprising Ye homage on “Fighting Fires,” which is odd given their complex history. It seems like the G.O.O.D. Music signee still has love for his former boss, even if that might not be a two-way street. Either way, all’s well that ends well. Check out more reactions to this new album down below.

Refreshing to hear Big Sean again. Album is ok, some definite replay value on a number of these records.

Meanwhile, make sure to drop your thoughts on Big Sean’s new album down there in the comments section. We haven’t even gotten close to breaking down the introspective bars on here, and the production has some lush details to replay over and over. But despite some biting accusations, what makes Better Me Than You compelling is his own charisma and hunger on it. It’s a very welcome treat, and one that we will continue to enjoy throughout 2024.

Lauryn Hill’s Surprise Show At High School Reunion Grinds The Gears Of Fans

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There seems to be a little bit of a divide in the Fugees camp and most of the blame is falling on Lauryn Hill. That’s at least what the iconic rapper and singer feels is the case, according to past quotes from her Instagram. “Some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour”. That’s what she feels led to her ultimately having to cancel the reunion tour in the states. Her making last minute changes to performances is nothing new, although past injuries have been a consistent sidelining factor. Still, it’s been a constant theme and fellow band mate Pras has taken notice of it as well.

In fact, he was even dissing Lauryn Hill on an unreleased song not too long ago. However, he claims it had nothing to do with her, the timing of it certainly would suggest otherwise. Pras also has been feeling the Fugees fans’ sadness and disappointment. “They are paying their hard-earned money to see you. We’re going on almost three decades of our existence, individually and as a group. To have people still interested in wanting to come see you, man, you have to be grateful”.

If Pras wasn’t dissing Lauryn Hill on “Bar Mitzva”, he might be speaking out soon against her for real once he sees this video. According to a tweet from The Art Of Dialogue and an article from HipHopDX, Hill was recorded giving an impromptu show at her high school’s reunion. Specifically, the free medley show took place at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. She performed hits from her solo catalog and Fugees classics like “Ready or Not”, even altering the lyrics to show love to her alma mater. “CHS taking over / Buffalo soldier / Dreadlock Rasta“. Fans were quite upset about seeing this footage, as they are calling her out for performing at the wrong reunion. “She showed up a year late and sang to the wrong reunion”, one X user half jokes.

What are your thoughts on Lauryn Hill performing at her old high school for a surprise performance? Do you think Pras will have something to say about this impromptu show? Is this a bad look for Lauryn, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Game Changing His IG Profile Pic To Karrueche Spawns All Sorts Of Reactions From Fans

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Karrueche Tran continues to make a lot of fans in the hip-hop world. By fans, we mean of her looks and overall personality. There are quite a few rappers/hip-hop adjacent artists that she’s drawn in. Current rivals Chris Brown and Quavo are perhaps the biggest names attached to the 36-year-old beauty. It appears that Karrueche is single at the moment, and that’s all The Game apparently needed to hear. According to The Shade Room, the California rapper appears to be publicly shooting his shot because his Instagram profile picture is of her.

What’s even wilder is the fact that itis a screenshot of her most recent post on the Gram. She uploaded a “Morning.” post to her profile with her displaying her messy bun. If this is catching you off guard, like it it has for a lot of people, The Game fawning over openly is nothing new, actually. According to HipHopDX, The Game spit a few bars about her on his 2016 track, “All Eyez”. “You want me to say your name, huh?
Karrueche!“. This track actually sparked some beef between him and Breezy, who was linked to Karrueche back then.

The Game Opens Up About His Karrueche Fandom

However, after all sorts of reactions and questions from fans, The Game is setting the record straight. He snuck into the confused and weirded out comments section of The Shade Room‘s post, saying, “That picture dope. & K is a fire person n the homie. Gone bout yall day. Yall gone be alright.” With that now out of the way, it seems its more of just fanboy moment than anything else.

What are your thoughts on The Game changing his Instagram profile picture to Karrueche? Do you think the California rapper is capping that there’s nothing going on between them? Do you think the actress and model will respond? Is this some weird behavior, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Playboi Carti & The Weeknd’s FaceTime Sparks Excitement Amongst Fans

August 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, Playboi Carti and The Weeknd do not share a lot in common, at least musically speaking. However, they put a lot of people on to what they can do a track together last summer. The two respective superstars, and pop legend Madonna, all united for “Popular”. The 80s synth-pop/pop rap track was one of the first soundtrack cuts for Abel Tesfaye’s HBO exclusive TV show, The Idol. Sadly, the program turned out to be a major flop, but the single did not. For how cooky the track came across at its inception, it did a respectable job on the charts, peaking and debuting at 43 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In this case, it was more of a grower, as it is now certified platinum as of June 20, 2024. Furthermore, it also made its way onto the deluxe version of The Weeknd’s The Highlights compilation record. Finally, “Popular” sits at nearly 900 million streams, good enough for the fifth spot on his most popular on Spotify. Since the release of this single, it seems that The Weeknd and Playboi Carti are pretty good buddies. For example, the label head iced out the Dawn FM creator with some custom XO/Opium iced out jewelry.

Do You Need Another Collab Between Playboi Carti & The Weeknd?

Now, it seems that they are furthering that friendship after a recent FaceTime according to Kurrco. In a frankly odd but funny screenshot, Abel is holding a lit lighter with smiles for miles. Then, there’s Carti who is looking more and more like Kanye West by the second. In fact, some fans were quick to point that out. “You mean Kanye and weekend?”, one X user hilariously questions. However, this repost also led some fans to hope for more music from this new tandem in the future. “NEED A COLLAB”, another excitedly types. “Carti and weeknd the duo we never thought we needed”. Hopefully, that does turn out to be the case. Both artists have records in the works so maybe we will see them together a track when those eventually drop.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti and The Weeknd talking to each other on FaceTime? Do you think a new collaboration is coming soon? Is “Popular” still in your rotation? Who do you think will drop their new album first? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Victoria Monet’s Ambiguous Tweet Has Fans Speculating About Her Relationship

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Victoria Monet has her fanbase all wound up over a pretty vague tweet from late last night. The R&B superstar said, “I’m way too sexy to be alone…”. This has led to her supporters theorizing that she could be splitting from John Gaines. Her and her fitness model/motivational speaker boyfriend have been together since 2020, according to theJasmineBrand. They even share a daughter together, Hazel Monét Gaines as of February 21, 2021, making her three years old. It doesn’t seem like these two have had any issues, at least that have gone public anyway. But still, fans are pretty nervous for Victoria.

“I hope this is a lyric from SOS and not you telling us there’s no more Mr. Monet?”. More on that “SOS” part in a second. More reactions just like this one were all over X. “Aren’t you and your man still together?”. “You cannot play with our emotions like this! ”, another adds.

Victoria Monet Has Been Teasing A New Single Too

Now that we’ve gone over that, what is this “SOS” thing that fans feel that the singer is hinting at with this ambiguous tweet? Well, Ms. Monet has been teasing the release of some new music to help celebrate one year of JAGUAR II. If you were wondering, it will officially turn one on August 25. That new material is a single called “SOS”, which she says will be out next Tuesday, August 27. She made the announcement on her Instagram about a day ago with the caption, “ 8//27 Pre-save link in my bio”.

What are your thoughts on Victoria Monet hinting at a possible breakup from John Gaines? Do you think it’s that, or is this her teasing her upcoming single “SOS”? If the latter is true, are you excited for some new music? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Sexyy Red Discreetly Cancels Multiple Tour Stops

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red’s presence in hip-hop is very strong, but it’s taking a hit right now. According to some digging from theJasmineBrand, the St. Louis, Missouri MC is already having to cancel a handful of shows for her second headlining tour. Sexyy Red 4 President is supposed to get underway tomorrow, August 22, in Seattle Washington at WAMU Theater. Sadly, though, that won’t be happening. Additionally, her stops in Portland (August 23) and Oakland (August 26) are also ixnayed.

So, with that known, she will not be hitting the road until Saturday, August 24, in Atlanta, Georgia at State Farm Arena. What’s pretty interesting here is that the hitmaker did not make any announcements on her social media. There’s nothing on X nor Instagram and it’s got some fans reacting pretty sourly, unsurprisingly. “B**** I’m trying so hard not to cure sexyy red out. B**** why this h*e canceled her show out here?!?!?!?!?!”. “WHY WOULD U CANCEL YO SHOW IN OAKLAND WTF ”.

Sexyy Red Has Fans In Shambles

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

While this may be a shocking development to some, there were some previous reports proving that this was a true possibility. In early July, The Art Of Dialogue and Touring Data found that just 37.11 percent of the 85,217 tickets were sold back then. Now, it isn’t clear how many have been scooped up since that time. However, it’s pretty clear that sales are still not where they should be. Hopefully, this trend doesn’t continue for Red in the future, but right now, this is a pretty big deal.

What are your thoughts on Sexyy Red having to cancel a handful of her shows for the Sexyy Red 4 President tour? Do you think this is a big deal or no deal, and why? Are you surprised that she’s not able to perform in every city? Do you think it has to do with her music, or the venues she’s selecting? 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 Sexyy Red.

But the YouTuber persisted, and it led to him getting smacked upside the head for his troubles. Gates and his team walk away from encounter not acknowledging the troublemaker any further. Of course, to stick to the bit, he kind of sees it as win because, in the end, Gates reacted. “That’s lowkey a dub not gonna lie”, the kid says to his cameraman. Fans were split in the comments section with some feeling the kid got we he deserved, and others were finding it funny. “Deserved. Not everybody is playin like that”, one person expresses. “That’s what He gets . Everyone is Not Joking .. Whether it’s a prank or Not . He better not try to Sue & play victim either ”.

Kodak Black Delivers Heartwrenching Message About Loneliness

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black has certainly been going through a lot. How much of that is self-inflicted is up for debate, though. You could contribute a lot of the Pompano Beach, Florida rapper’s setbacks to his nagging addiction to drugs. However, earlier this year, the “ZEZE” MC did say that he was getting his life back on track. “I ain’t even going to say I’m anti-Perc. Like, I never took a Perc since I been home. But bro, my dosage so low that I can’t believe it myself. Man, I’m telling y’all, bro”. People started to recognize that he was looking healthier, especially women with some even labeling him “fine”.

However, there have also been a few instances this year where’s he seemed to revert back to his vices. In fact, it was just a few weeks ago that a video of him went viral in which he felt like he was “finna glitch”. Before blurring out his hand and face, he did appear to swallow a handful of pills on an IG Live session. The reason we are rehashing all of this is because Kodak Black seems to be down in the dumps right now. According to a post of a screenshot from DJ Akademiks, Black seemed to have to come to a harsh reality.

Kodak Black Needs Somebody!

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

“Now I understand nobody give af about me if I ain’t paying Lonely af out here bro”. There isn’t a real indicator of who or what he’s referring to. However, he could be talking about how hard it is to find a life partner in his profession. Or he could be talking about finding a real circle of friends who will support him because they want to. No matter how you slice it, it’s a pretty saddening message and we hope Kodak is doing okay. Fans of course have mixed reactions. Some were more harsh on the hitmaker, “You seen yourself homie? Lol that’s why ”. Others were keeping it real, “That’s the industry 4 u!!!! Everything is transactional ”. And a handful were showing Kodak love, “Don’t let them slow you down. Drop the weight and go harder. You was moving with a waited best before. Now you free.”

What are your thoughts on Kodak Black feeling lonely on his Instagram Story? What do you think he’s referring to with this message? Do you believe it has something to do with the rapper, or the people he’s trying to surround himself with? 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 Kodak Black. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Fivio Foreign & Kodak Black Surprise Release Pro Donald Trump Anthem “ONBOA47RD”

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fivio Foreign has shared quite the “surprise” this weekend. That is the caption he used to announce a new single with Kodak Black and Donald Trump. AllHipHop caught wind of the Instagram post shortly after midnight and it safe to say that a lot of people are floored by “ONBOA47RD”, which is the name of Fivio Foreign‘s song with Donald Trump. However, it may be even more accurate to say that fans are straight up not feeling this. “Tagging Trump is corny”, one user writes under the New York drill rapper’s post.

“Ni****a what we workin wit the opps now”, another adds. “He just lost a fan”, one more chimes in. “ONBOA47RD” is certainly a lot to take in and what’s even more wild is the fact that the former POTUS actually has a writing credit on the song too. It includes various quotes from his first public address following the nearly fatal assassination last month. As for what Fivio and Kodak are bringing to the table, they are essentially showing who they are supporting in this year’s election. However, Foreign is also getting personal on the track, rapping about his inner demons. Black spits about being a “drug dealer turned diplomat”.

“ONBOA47RD”- Donald Trump, Fivio Foreign, & Kodak Black

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m pootin’ on n****s like Vladimir and s***tin’ on these b****es
They keep askin’ ’bout Trump, but I don’t speak on family business
I say Blood gang still spar, for real and he don’t condone snitchin’
Pull Amari logo, the Monte Carlo was sittin’ on sixes
Allan and Brad working hard to get my a** out the feds when I was stressin’
Gotta give God His thanks to feel the power of His presence
