Blueface Draws All Sorts Of Fan Reactions Following His Prison Sentence

by

Blueface is one of the most controversial and scandalous rappers of the past decade or so, and his journey continues. Moreover, authorities recently sentenced him to four years behind bars due to his probation violation stemming from an alleged assault case involving a security guard. However, other reports also indicate that the California rapper already received credit for time served and had 400 days removed from his sentence. As such, there’s a possibility he will see freedom within nine or ten months, but that’s still not a verified circumstance at press time, so take it with a grain of salt.

As you can imagine, fans had all sorts of reactions to Blueface’s sentencing. “B***hes watched Blueface and Chrisean destroy themselves and wreck each other’s families on tv for months and now it’s ‘i feel bad for the baby’ shut the f**k up lol,” one not so sympathetic fan expressed on Twitter. “I don’t wish jail on anybody but Blueface getting 4yrs & Chrisean locked up is exactly what they needed. They had no business bringing that baby into this world when they was living so reckless smh,” another user posited.

Blueface Receives Four-Year Prison Sentence

Speaking of Chrisean Rock, who’s dealing with her own legal issues right now, Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold recently called out Rock’s mother Charla Malone for allegedly not supporting her daughter enough while behind bars, manipulating her with claims of snitching, and turning her against other people. “Don’t send y’all kids out on a wild goose chase looking for people,” she shared. “Making them feel like people turned them in or told on them. If you want to use her for clout, she’s your child, do what the f**k you do. But don’t put your child in a position in their heart and in their mind where they can’t trust people that they might need.”

Fans React

Meanwhile, Wack 100 spoke on authorities arresting Chrisean Rock at one of his client Blueface’s court dates. Specifically, he claimed that she showed up because Blue’s other baby mama Jaidyn Alexis was there. In addition, Wack provided a little more info on the complicated dynamics between Rock and the West Coast MC’s parents, as well as her in-court IG Live session. It’s all a pretty chaotic affair, but one that hopefully heals up over time.

Olympic Breakdancing Gets Clowned Online For Some Really Bad Moves

by

Breakdancing is one of hip-hop’s five pillars, and seeing it at the 2024 Olympics in Paris is quite the wild sight for the culture and art form as a whole. Sadly, this global exposure and reintroduction in the popular societal sphere probably won’t make you very happy if you’re bummed out about people forgetting about this pillar more often than not. That’s because a lot of these displays proved to be pretty cringe according to social media’s comically unimpressed reactions. Many of them took aim at a particular b-girl Raygun, although other Olympians also caught strays and jokes about their efforts.

Still, a lot of Olympics fans and viewers found some truly worthwhile and engaging performances during these breakdancing one-on-ones. Even though most of what’s going viral is the more seemingly embarrassing fare, just like with every other event, there’s always something special to witness. Hip-hop’s had a pretty eventful presence in these games this year, with Snoop Dogg pretty much being the poster boy for a lot of it. Surely, more closed and centralized hip-hop circles have a lot more to say about this breakdancing.

Fans Aren’t Impressed By Breakdancing At The Olympics

Elsewhere, artists like Pharrell think that the Olympics should reinstate their arts competition. “We get to remind people that at one point, the Olympics actually had the arts as a section that ran all these competitions,” he expressed at the event’s Louis Vuitton party. “Sculpture, architecture, visual arts. The idea we get to put the arts back in… Why not take this moment to bring awareness?” The LV creative director referred to the five medals awarded in fields of music, painting, architecture, literature, and sculpture from 1912 to 1948. Breakdancing is definitely a start, although it seems like they didn’t kick off on the best foot this year.

More Reactions

Meanwhile, there are other Olympics-slash-hip-hop moments that were perhaps not as embarrassing as some breakdancing, but were nonetheless not the typical display you’d see from the genre. This includes Travis Scott and Quavo’s impromptu performance of the U.S. national anthem. Huncho Jack and Jack Huncho were giving it their all, but if they had a mic in front of their hands, it would be a pretty bad performance. But they didn’t mean to take over a Super Bowl stage with it, so let’s let them be proud hip-hop stars and at least make the jokes funny and not mean.

Chris Brown Fans Defend Victoria Monet After Backlash For Attending His Show

by

Whenever a celebrity shouts out or supports Chris Brown publicly, some fan backlash is sure to follow. We saw this example recently with Kehlani’s selfie with him given his abusive history, as fans dragged her for implicitly ignoring this stain on his career. But it’s also clear that these confirmed incidents (albeit with some subsequent allegations) happened long ago, and that both Breezy and his fanbase want to move on past these blemishes. For example, his die-hards recently blasted the haters for attacking Victoria Monét, who recently attended one of his shows. Regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, it’s clear that the conflict occurs between fans and detractors, not between the Virginia native and his relationships with other artists.

As such, it’s important to understand that the stardom of Chris Brown is a pretty unmovable object, and fan backlash is not quite the unstoppable force that they want it to be, for better or worse. Perhaps it would be more useful for fans to simply not engage with him online rather than demand others to drag him, and for hardcore supporters to understand and validate why people can’t rock with him like they do. After all, there is a lot more controversy to deal with, such as recent lawsuits over alleged backstage brawls. Yet prevailing narratives from over a decade ago continue to muddy more present and actionable issues at this point.

Victoria Monet Attends Chris Brown Show: See Replies For Defenses & Detractors

Nevertheless, we doubt that this controversy over Chris Brown will ever truly end, and fans will simply have to be steadfast in their belief. Elsewhere, his collaborator Lo’s murder case might develop in a more speedy fashion soon, as authorities captured his alleged murderer after being on the most wanted list. “I commend the men and women of the Marshals Service and our partners for the capture of Deshawn Davis,” U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald L. Davis stated. “It is our hope that this apprehension brings justice to his victims and safety to the community.”

Meanwhile, this celebrity-supported backlash isn’t the only hot controversy that Chris Brown is dealing with. Alleged footage surfaced of him dancing on Diddy’s 50-foot bed. Their presumed bond has many wondering whether there’s any overlap when it comes to the Bad Boy mogul’s extensive list of allegations. We’ll see what happens, but it certainly isn’t a pretty look.

Offset’s Aimless Rant Amid Cardi B Divorce Leaves Fans Completely Stumped

by

Just a little over a week ago, Page Six reported that Cardi B was filing for divorce from former Migos rapper Offset for the second time. The on-again, off-again tandem were together for seven years and currently share two children, Kulture and Wave, with a third one on the way. Some were immediately attributing this to Offset allegedly cheating on Cardi during a night out at a casino. He was seen out with an ex who goes by Pretty Redz. However, both of them shut down the allegations with the SET IT OFF MC, saying, “People really need to do the research. I’m at a public place gambling at a casino with a married 8-month pregnant woman wtf I look like being outside publicly cheating SMD!!!”.

While this was certainly a perfectly reasonable assumption from outsiders, Cardi B did not go through with this because of the casino ordeal. Instead, an insider said that it was more so about them simply “grow[ing] apart”. Overall, it seems that Cardi B is dealing with as best as possibly one could. Offset was also appearing unbothered in a recent video, although fans were calling cap.

Now, though, those people seeing through the BS might have a more solid argument. The Shade Room reshared a pretty vague rant that Offset shared to his IG Story and it has a lot of social media users doing double takes. He writes, “A n**** will live with you Eat off you Help his family And still b hating inside cuz they ain’t pop on they own be the n**** blaming the world for his f ups….. Sucka!”. Lots of commenters are thinking he’s talking about himself, and others are just completely lost. “If you’re like me and didn’t understand what the fuq he just said ‐————————>”. “The call is coming from inside the house… lol answer it sir!”.

What are your thoughts on Offset’s latest comments amid his divorce from Cardi B? Could he be referring to his ex-wife? Or do you think it’s a friend or a contemporary? How bad does this make the former Migos member look? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Ice Spice Continues To Drive The Internet Mad With New IG Post Amid Central Cee Cheating Allegations

by

While Ice Spice certainly possesses a massive fanbase, it feels like the wave of haters is growing by the second. Soon, it may wash away a substantial amount of her appeal as a figure in hip-hop. Overall, a great number of people are becoming more frustrated with the fact that she has become so popular off of what many consider mediocre art. The sales projections and review of her recently released debut album Y2K! are definitely reflecting that sentiment. Also not helping Ice Spice is the mess she has put herself in regarding Central Cee.

Over a month ago, dating rumors were sparked between these two drill rappers after a handful of social media posts. However, after learning more about their relationship, the belief was that it was a result of Cench cheating. The UK artist’s now ex-girlfriend, social media influencer Madeline Argy, has claimed to be totally blindsided throughout this development. After she was played lyrics, possibly from Spice and Cee’s collab “Did It First”, she began to piece things together. While Spice has confirmed that it was more of a PR stunt, Argy was fed up with Cee for hiding all of this information from him.

Because of everything we mentioned, the New Yorker is now more of a villain than ever before. Her latest photo dump on Instagram post her debut LP release and the Cee drama is proof of that. “He got a 🙄 but he kno i dont tell”, Spice pens. This set a lot of users off, as almost every comment underneath it is one of negativity. Some are calling out for her questionable poop and cheating bars and others are showing love to Madeline Argy instead. “Ok poopy pants”, one hilariously jokes. Another takes it there, writing, “Do you rap about pooping so much bc you’re on ozempic”. The “Argy Army” also gets in on the action, “Atleast madz doesn’t post herself half naked for attention”.

What are your thoughts on Ice Spice’s latest Instagram post alluding to the Central Cee cheating rumors? Do you think that the UK rapper actually ditched his ex for the New York native? Or do you think this is all a publicity stunt for the album? What do you think the career outlook is for Spice right now?

Drake Sparks Speculation After Performing With A Live Band

by

Drake is a very impressive and beloved live performer, as his vocal prowess and versatility can make him float engagingly over any backing track one of his shows, sets, or tour stops throws at him. But we haven’t seen the 6ix God perform much in a live band setting, which pairs very well with his more soulful and lush production choices. Well, it seems like this match made in heaven might become a more frequent reality, as fans jumped to all sorts of conclusions after a clip emerged online of him performing “Pipe Down” with a live band. The Certified Lover Boy cut sounds all the more beautiful with live bass and summery guitar licks, and many fans on Twitter and in the replies of the post below hope that there’s more live instrumentation to come.

Of course, it’s not like this is Drake’s first time performing with a live band, but it’s certainly not the norm nor a common practice across his performance history. What fans really want to know is whether or not this indicates any sort of plans for the future when it comes to either new music or new concerts. For example, his recently teased collab album with PARTYNEXTDOOR might have more live elements to it, and a potential joint tour could have a backing band follow them through. This is all just speculative at the moment, but the assessment still stands: the Toronto superstar sounds great with some killer musicians alongside him.

Drake Performs With A Live Band

Speaking of Drake and performances, some fans also speculated recently that a former friend and close collaborator of Aubrey Graham’s is missing him onstage. Future and Metro Boomin recently kicked off their tour, and his performance of the Drizzy-assisted smash hit “WAIT FOR U” prompted a lot of theories. Some just commented on the performance itself, but others thought that Pluto was particularly emotional during the rendition. While select fans pointed to romantic issues as the reason, others thought that he might’ve been reflecting on how, at least right now, he doesn’t live in a world in which he can perform that song with Drake again because of the rap beef that exploded earlier this year.

Fans React

On that note, we’re sure you don’t need much of a refresher. But the pettiness still lives on in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, with Mustard attacking The Boy and Gordo for allegedly trying to sabotage the release of his album. That’s all just combative speculation, though, and we doubt that the beef will truly reignite with a burning ire anytime soon. But if it does… a live band would sound pretty good on a diss track, no?

Kanye West’s Official Version Of “LIFESTYLE” Sparks Debate On Whether Or Not The Demo Is Better

by

It appears that all Kanye West is doing with VULTURES 2 is making fans angry. To be honest, it’s completely fair criticism. After waiting on the sequel to the inaugural VULTURES 1 for months, the album still sounds extremely unfinished. It especially doesn’t help that a lot of the songs were known about for years thanks to the leak community and DONDA 2. Of course, there are a few ride-or-die supporters of Ye trying to defend the project. Ultimately, though, the amount of disappointment far outweighs the love being shown to this debatably even worse LP. Some predicted this would happen, but some were still holding out hope for Kanye West because of songs like “LIFESTYLE”.

Hip-hop Twitter (now X) is having quite the field day picking VULTURES 2 to pieces. “LIFESTYLE” is one of the handful of songs that Kanye West had hype around thanks to a demo that had been floating around the internet. However, when you listen to each version side-by-side, you can see why fans are confused and upset. Instead of having Ty Dolla $ign sing the chorus –who the better singing voice — Ye instead takes the reins, and it sounds like a non-artist singing in the shower. Additionally, the instrumental is mixed much better, which is another big gripe that people have with VULTURES 2.

“LIFESTYLE” Is Just One Of Many Gripes Fans Have With Kanye & VULTURES 2

However, those few Kanye stans we mentioned earlier are trying to contest that the latest version is better. One user says, “Bruh the new one better lol”. Another even sends some shade at Drake, saying, “Demo version is giving Drake energy. Official version is more Ye”. Someone else even calls out the leaking camp for ruining the official album release. “This is prob with leaks and the reason I don’t listen to them more than once, you guys have an idea what something is SUPPOSED TO SOUND like, ruining ur personal experience when the real thing shows up, now y’all mad smh”.

What are your thoughts on the current version of “LIFESTYLE” off of VULTURES 2? Listening to the demo and official renditions back-to-back, which one sounds better? Where do you currently stand on the new album? Do you agree with the camp out there that Kanye West is tarnishing his legacy? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Ty Dolla $ign & Kanye West Announce “VULTURES 2” Listening Party In Utah

by

With the excitement mostly at its peak for VULTURES 2 at the time of writing, Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West are announcing yet another listening party. The former of the tandem shared the news via his Instagram just about an hour ago and it marks the third one for the album. Ty revealed the first one back on July 6 for Korea, which is now 20 days away. Then, the multi-hyphenate made his followers know about their future visit to Taiwan on July 25. That will go down two days later on August 25. That leads us to today, as Ty and Ye will be hitting the road, and heading to Salt Lake City to give the fans a special one-night performance of VULTURES 2.

This will actually be the first of the three listening experiences, as it will be going down on August 9. However, Dolla $ign’s followers aren’t really reacting to this news. Instead, they are harping on one aspect of the album that a majority of the community is having an issue with. The mixing, for lack of a better word, is pretty bad. Some aren’t too surprised with the final product, but others are confused, especially given how many times VULTURES 2 has been pushed back.

A post shared by Ty Dolla $ign (@tydollasign)

This argument is highlighted by the fact that there are quite a few songs that have floating around the internet for a couple of years now. People are wondering how and why Ye and Ty decided to give everyone essentially demos and they are letting them hear about it in this comment section as well. “FIX THE MIXING IN THE ALBUM THE QUALITY ISNT THE BEST”, one IG user demands. Another adds, “Album is s***, the lyrics are terrible, and mixing is so bad that some songs play on one ear when using headphones, the wait was not worth it”. “Dude why is Husband on here twice”, someone else jokes. Despite all this, we are sure Utah will have a massive turnout.

What are your thoughts on Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West announcing a new listening party for VULTURES 2 in Utah? Do you agree with a majority of the fans that the mixing isn’t good? How are you feeling about the album so far? Which songs are you enjoying the most on your first few listens? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Ice Spice Has Listeners Plugging Their Ears After Dropping “GYAT”

by

Even though there are a lot of Ice Spice fans coming to her defense, especially over the last seven days, the critics are still quite loud. The New York rapper basically had the entire hip-hop community either groaning or anxiously awaiting the release of her debut album Y2K! It had been relentlessly teased and pushed by the media, essentially billing it to be one of the major tapes for 2024 overall. Sadly, for Spice and her team, many of the reviews have been extremely negative. Many pointed to the fact that its one-dimensional and way too short making it a popcorn project. However, with her still being one of biggest names out, delivering some sort of deluxe on bonus edition was practically inevitable. Well, that is what Ice Spice is doing, dropping potentially the lone track for it, “GYAT”.

Clocking in at just 1:55, “GYAT” raps exactly what you’d expect Ice Spice to rap about, her butt. Making this track even more forgettable is the overly repetitive refrain. “She throwin’ it (Back, back, back)
She throwin’ it (Back, back, that a**) Haters get (Back, back) Haters get (Back, back)“. Like the original set on Y2K!, the writing is vapid on “GYAT”, but maybe even worse is the lack of energy. She sounds just as uninterested as the listeners are in what she has to say. “Girl just get a ghost writer”, one IG commenter demands. “U lucky u fine asf bra . Yo music so poop”, another adds. Still, give the song a shot and see what you think.

Big Sean Reveals What Is Keeping Him Out Of Big Three Conversations

by

Big Sean’s latest interview with The Breakfast Club‘s Charlamagne tha God is generating quite a bit of buzz. During their chat, they divulge in numerous topics, with perhaps the biggest surrounding him and Kendrick Lamar’s relationship. However, there is another section that is causing some debate amongst the viewers. Over each decade of hip-hop, you can point to three artists who have defined their respective periods. The one that gets perhaps the most traction is for the 2010s. Most throw in Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole in there, something that each MC has addressed several times as of late.

Other names you can debate are Future, Travis Scott, and Kanye West. The former of those names is someone that Charlamagne is willing to create a “Fantastic Four” for. Additionally, he tells Sean that the aforementioned “Big Three” is essentially unanimous, to which Sean rebuttals that he hears his moniker thrown around in those conversations. Additionally, though, the Detroit rapper can understand where people, including Charlamagne, are coming from. He cites that his “consistency” really isn’t there, mentioning how he hasn’t dropped an album in almost four years. Although, that dry spell will be ending on August 9 when Sean comes out with Better Me Than You.

Big Sean Notes “Consistency” Is Holding Him Back From “Big Three” Status

While the “Precision” rapper does show some humility, he does make clear that he can hang with the best of them on any track. He boldly mentions his verses on two Kendrick Lamar collabs, “Control” and DJ Khaled’s “Holy Key”, as his biggest flexes. In fact, he even claims he made sure he put together the stronger performance on the latter. This prompted fans to react. “He didn’t have a better verse on holy key though lol”, one user on X says. Overall, there were some fans that put Sean in the same air as three aforementioned pillars of the past decade and some that don’t. Maybe, though, he can convince the critics next Friday.

What are your thoughts on Big Sean knowing that he isn’t in the big three conversations like Drake, Kendrick, and Cole? Do you think he belongs in these debates, why or why not? Can his next album catapult him back toward the top of the heap if not? 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 Big Sean. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
