Complex’s Top 50 Atlanta Rappers List Leads To Outraged Social Media Debates

by

Rankings and lists of any nature in the field of hip-hop always cause some form of uproar. The latest example in this long and nonetheless honorable tradition is Complex‘s list of the top 50 Atlanta rappers of all time. You can check out the full list with the “Via” link below, but here are some highlights… Or lowlights, for some. Sean Paul at 40, JID at 27, Lil Yachty at 24, Takeoff at 19, Playboi Carti at 12, Gucci Mane at 4, and André 3000 at the very top spot. Of course, this led to a bunch of outraged social media reactions. These indluce backlash to the high placement of Latto, the underrating of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and other considerations.

Also, this reflection on Atlanta’s hip-hop legacy comes at a very interesting time for the city’s place in the culture. Just a couple of months ago, Kendrick Lamar accused the biggest rapper in the world right now of colonizing ATL’s sound for his own gain. While the conversation around Drake’s proximity to MCs from the A has been going on for a long time, it’s never been more present or direct. Regardless of where you fall on that debate, one thing is clear: the city is up.

Complex Picks Its Top 50 Atlanta Rappers Of All Time

In addition, Tyler, The Creator recently called out white rappers for appropriating and ridiculing the classic Atlanta sounds of high-ranking artists on this Complex list. “This white kid, regular Caucasian man,” he said during his recently published Maverick Carter interview. “And he’s, like, mocking Future and Gucci Mane… Like, rap music. People are like, ‘This s**t hard.’ It’s not even like satire… I hold rap music so close to my heart. This s**t changed my life and everyone’s life around me.” Check out more reactions to this top 50 list below.

Fan Reactions

Meanwhile, Latto is currently leading Atlanta’s wave thanks to her new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea. We’ll see who the next artist to rep the city with a huge release is, and what other names emerge to continue that community’s traditions and musical legacy. As this Complex list ironically proves, there are far more than just 50 notable rappers from ATL. And there will be many more that take the sound and the culture to new innovations, changes, and worthwhile contributions to the city. Let us know what you think of the list and what your own picks look like down in the comments below.

Latto Takes Heat From Ice Spice Fans Amid Disappointing Sales Projections

by

Latto’s new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea got a lot of love from her fanbase and from the wider hip-hop sphere… But comparison is the thief of joy. Moreover, some of her rival fanbases online, including that of Nicki Minaj and her big beef opponent Ice Spice, clowned the project’s first week sales projections, which point to a number 17 debut on the Billboard 200 chart with around 27,000 in album-equivalent units sold. Of course, this isn’t the worst chart debut of all time for an artist of the Atlanta femcee’s visibility, but it certainly isn’t making the big commercial splash that she and many others likely hoped for.

Numbers aren’t everything, but the fact that Latto has these feuds with other female rappers makes her (and them) an easy target for ridicule and clowning when things don’t go perfectly. But everyone would benefit from remembering that, beyond the very tip-top of the game which is still seeing diminishing returns compared to years past, pretty much every artist in the mainstream is finding it more and more difficult to get their sales numbers up without a massive and calculated backing campaign from the industry. For example, Ice Spice’s Y2K! debuted with 28,000 in first-week sales at number 18 on the Billboard chart, and despite it being about half the runtime of Sugar Honey Iced Tea, it still puts both LPs at pretty much the same level of commercial success for now.

Instead, what will really differentiate a lot of these albums and narratives is longevity and how these femcees and other artists across the industry will maintain their momentum or squander it. In Latto’s case, she’s got a tour coming up very soon that could help in this regard. Find more reactions to Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s sales projections down below.

Meanwhile, this is what Ice Spice had to say about her and Latto’s beef. “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare,” she expressed during a recent interview. “It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me. I can understand a friendly competition, but I just feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out, and it’s just not even funny. Like, bro, ‘Think U The S**t’ is from January. You’re going to post a piece of s**t cake to announce something that’s good news for you? But it is kind of a compliment because you’re talking about something that’s supposed to be a fun moment for you and you’re making it about me… again.”

Simone Biles’ Biological Mother Wants To Rekindle Their Relationship

by

Simone Biles put together another incredible Olympics performance over the last couple of weeks during the Paris games. She went on to add another four medals to her previous collection of 10 overall, which included seven golds. After it was all set and done, the Columbus, Ohio native snagged another three golds in addition to a silver. The constant theme throughout these 2024 events for her and Team USA was that it was the “redemption tour”. They certainly accomplished their mission, putting their respective country back on top in the sport of gymnastics.

While the whole U.S. was cheering for Simone, so was her biological mother, Shanon. In fact, she even held a backyard party to celebrate her run this year. You may be wondering, “‘why was she not in attendance?’”. Well, since about the age of three, Shanon was not able to care for Simone due to a troubling addiction to drugs and alcohol. Her, along with her siblings, were placed into foster care. Then, at the age of six, Shanon’s dad (Simone’s grandpa), Ron Biles, and his wife Nellie Cayetano Biles, took them in.

Simone has constantly referred to them as her actual parents and overall, her and Shanon’s relationship has been nearly nonexistent since then. However, shortly after the games, Shanon is hoping that they can reconnect. She sat down with The Daily Mail to express these feelings and is waiting for Simone to decide what she wants to do. “I would like to make amends with Simone personally. I’m just waiting for her and Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward”.

What are your thoughts on Simone Biles’ mom wanting to work things out between them? Do you think that this is fishy given the Olympics just ended, why or why not? Is this the right way to go about reuniting? If you were in Simone’s spot, what would you do? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

USHER Postpones Opening Night Of “Past Present Future Tour” With Heartfelt Message

by

USHER, even 30 years and change into his career, is still a performer that’s in high demand. The Super Bowl, his residence in Las Vegas, ESSENCE, and Paris around this time last year are just few stages he’s rocked over the last 12 months. Additionally, USHER is someone who wants to give his very best for any venue he plays at. So, it’s why he’s deciding to postpone the opening night of his Past Present Future tour. Unfortunately, the notice is very last minute, as the things were supposed to get underway tonight in one of the many places he calls home, Atlanta.

The enormous trek across the United States is for his most recent record, COMING HOME. If you remember, it was released hours after his halftime performance. Initially, the set of dates was going to start on the 20th in Washington, D.C. But he added a handful of extra stops just a few days after revealing the tour, according to Rated R&B. Unfortunately, it’s unclear when he will hit the road. But for now, USHER had a heartfelt message to share about the reason for this decision.

A post shared by Usher (@usher)

“For my 30-plus year career, 100% of my blood, sweat and tears has gone into putting on the best performance and creating a memorable experience for my fans. I have every intention of doing that for this tour as well. Which is why I have to postpone tonight’s show and reschedule it for a later date to give my body a second to rest and heal,” USHER began. “You’re still going to get a bit of the past, some of the present and a unique look into the future on the rescheduled date but you’ll also be getting 100% of me. The last thing I want to ever do is disappoint you, the fans who have been eagerly waiting for this tour to start. However, I wouldn’t be the entertainer that I am if I can’t physically give you my best”.

Before signing off, he wrote, “My team will be sharing news of the rescheduled date soon. I can’t wait to celebrate this legacy with you”. What are your thoughts on USHER deciding to postpone the opening night of his Past Present Future tour? How do you feel about a lot of fans reacting so negatively to the news?

Megan Thee Stallion & GloRilla’s Love For Beyonce Sparks An Interesting Debate Amongst Fans

by

It’s easy to say that Beyonce’s fanbase is one of the largest and most loyal in all of music. Also called the Beyhive, her support spans the entire globe. Thanks to that, she continues to sell out shows, land tons of brand deals, and of course, move tons of records. A lot of fellow musicians also have a ton of love for the Houston native, including Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla. These two leading ladies of hip-hop recently voiced their idolization for Queen Bey in a recent chat with Instagram. Their love for Beyonce is so strong that if you show any sort of disliking toward her, it’s on sight with them.

Megan Thee Stallion and Big Glo also talk about the first few times they met Beyonce. For both of them, they were so starstruck. In fact, it was so surreal for the Memphis MC that she claimed her soul left her body and went to heaven. All of this praise and backing for the R&B superstar had some fans pretty weirded out. Additionally, some were wondering why Jesus can’t get this much love from people.

“Now if we could love, adore, and worship Jesus like this…Can you imagine?”, one IG user wrote in response to the clip. “Jesus is the only person I would leave my body for!”, another adds. “Idolizing someone like this is weird imo 🤷‍♂️”. Others were more chill about the Beyonce love. “🗣IF YOU TALK BAD ABOUT BEYONCÉ YOU JUST A HATER!”. “They just showing another woman love. Why females just can’t get along without hating?”. Of course, there were also some Nicki Minaj fans that continue to wait for Meg and Glo to give their rap queen the same love. “But they wont give the same flowers to the girl who opened the door for them 🫵🏾”.

Jazmine Cheaves Yelling At Her Five-Month-Old Son Elicits Strong Reactions From Concerned Outsiders

by

Jazmine Cheaves, owner of a big-time salon in Atlanta, Georgia, as well the older sister to Jayda Cheaves, is not in the good graces of the internet. A clip of Jazmine Cheaves yelling at her five-month-old son, Blaze, is making the rounds right now. Moms tend to get frustrated with their kids, even at this stage of their lives. While it’s not really the right thing to do, it seems to be even more about what she said that is setting people off. In the video, you can hear her shout at him, “Blaze I told you you’re not a girl, stop screaming”. Then, just a second or two later, she talks to her followers, presumably through a TikTok or Instagram Live to explain why she did that.

“Yes, this is what he does all day, he just yells… I don’t like when he do that screaming s***, he’s not a girl”. Unsurprisingly, this has led to a lot of upset X users, which is where this clip is posted. One person replies bluntly, “She got the brain of a BBL”. Another shares that same sentiment, “These the kinda b****es that stan megan the stallion”.

Others were pointing out the basic things babies do when watching television shows, especially ones that excite them. “Uhhhh B****.. he’s excited. Tf.” Additionally, people are pointing out the current issues we face with men not being able to express themselves and how it starts when their babies. “He doesn’t have to be a girl to cry. First off he’s 5 months, thats a whole baby that can’t communicate yet. Second off that’s whats wrong with society today. Men grow up not being able to express their emotions then we complain about how they act when they are adults🤦🏽‍♀️”.

Finesse2tymes Almost Swings On A Fan During Performance: Watch

by

Overall, divisive Memphis, Tennessee rapper Finesse2tymes has been on the up and up as of late. He claims he’s been doing his best at becoming healthier and dropping some weight. That’s definitely one of the hardest things to accomplish, so to help with his journey he’s been considering going to therapy. Fans have been reaching out to him throughout this mental bout, and it seems he’s really serious about sticking to accomplishing this goal he set out for himself. Additionally, he recently secured his driver’s license at the age of 32. Due to his past life as a teenager, which saw him steal cars and sell them, he didn’t take a lot of time to grow up in a more normal circumstance.

So, yes, Finesse2tymes is looking to get back on track in a lot of ways. But recently he almost had a minor slip-up. In a recent resurfaced video, the “Back End” MC was putting on a performance at what appears to be a smaller venue. While onstage, a fan comes into view at the base of the platform. He appears to be peering over the railing and potentially looking for something he lost.

Even though this seems to be the case, Finesse2tymes was getting ready to unload on the concertgoer. In the clip, you can see him winding up to land a punch on the guy’s face. However, the fan appears to not even be paying attention to the rapper’s actions. Fans in the comments section were quick to point this out as well. “I think he was lookin for sum not tryna get on the stage😂😂😂”. Others were also poking fun at Finesse’s windup, with one adding, “Finesse2tymes said WHY I OTTA! 😂”. Another jokes, “Weak ass punch he was about to throw 🤣🤣”.

Jonathan Majors Can’t Hold Back The Tears While Expressing His Love For Meagan Good: Watch

by

When a man has found peace with a woman, they will do things like this. At the recent Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good were in attendance. He was being recognized for the “Perseverance Award”, which is a pretty fitting category for him to take home considering everything he’s been though. Of course, that includes things like his domestic abuse case that landed him in a 52-week domestic violence intervention program. This in turn led him to being removed from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), although he’s made a return as of late.

Even with all of this self-inflicted damage, Jonathan Majors has committed to reviving his career and public image. You could probably attribute a lot of that to him meeting fellow actor Meagan Good last May, just a month after his sentencing. Obviously, she was able to see past all of his baggage and things appear to be stronger than ever between these two lovebirds. So much so, that Jonathan recently revealed he has plans of getting married to the 43-year-old performer.

That eventual decision has to be clearer than ever before after Majors emotionally showed his love and gratitude for Meagan during his acceptance speech. “I love you, I love you beyond all limit”, Majors began as the tears began to roll down his face. “With all my strength, with all my heart, I love you. You done carried me so, so, so, so many nights”. Each team Majors finished a sentence, the cameras cut back to an equally tearful Meagan Good. People in the comments were happy to see these express how much they care for one another. “She came into his life when everyone was against him. HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER ❤”, one user astutely points out. “He crying because he has a good woman and nothing is wrong with that 😌👏🏾”, another adds.

What are your thoughts on Jonathan Majors tearing up while expressing his love for Meagan Good? Does this moment show that he appreciates her so much, why or why not? If not, what is off about Jonathan going about it this way? Do you think he’s showing who really is with Meagan? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

BossMan Dlow Has Fans Cracking Up With His Old Mugshot

by

BossMan Dlow has had to deal with a lot of Internet narratives these days, but this most recent one is fortunately more light despite its connection to a more serious situation. Moreover, a lot of fans are responding comically to a mugshot of his that went viral over the weekend, seemingly connected to a 2019 arrest and sentence. “Looking like a school cafeteria lady,” “‘I wasn’t broke I was f***ed up,’” and “My mans look like he cries easily” were among the most popular comments of the post below. At least the rapper can look back at this in retrospect, and at least it has nothing to do with DJ Vlad.

For those unaware, the VladTV host recently accused BossMan Dlow’s alleged manager Chris Silvers of finessing him for an interview, but the “2 Slippery” MC says that he has no idea who Silvers is. “My Manager @tymeoutt… It In All My Bio’s Never Heard of a mf Chris Silvers in my Life [crying-laughing and crying emojis],” the BossMan responded to Vlad. “Yup – we were contacted from the same phone number that you listed on your official IG bio. Here is the proof. Like I said be a batter Bossman and get a real manager on your team,” the media personality clapped back.

“I want to warn everyone out there who is booking @bossman_dlow,” Vlad had originally expressed concerning the alleged BossMan Dlow situation. “We recently gave his manager Chris Silvers a small deposit for an interview. After getting the deposit, he asked for 4 times the agreed upon amount and refused to return the deposit. D Low, you need to be a better Bossman and hire a real manager if you want to succeed in this business long-term.”

Meanwhile, BossMan Dlow might actually feel a type of way about these responses to his mugshot. After all, he recently went through some more legal trouble after authorities seemed to arrest him in Florida. That situation is still pretty unclear, so we’ll see if the near future holds an explanation. For now, this is at least the most innocuous situation that Dlow faced as of late.
