Ice Spice Speaks On Nicki Minaj Taking “Princess Diana” To New Commercial Heights

by

Much like many other femcees of the contemporary era, Ice Spice sees Nicki Minaj as a massive point of inspiration. Their strong collaborative bond is well-documented at this point, and fans only hope that their story together isn’t over yet. Regardless, the Bronx MC has a lot to look forward to this year, such as her next album and more promo, media, and partnership opportunities than ever. But she took some time during a recent Billboard interview to shout out some unexpected and underrated bangers of hers. The 24-year-old remarked that “Princess Diana” was her favorite hit of 2023, but that she was disappointed that it didn’t chart -– until Roman stepped in.

“’Princess Diana’ with Nicki [was my favorite hit of the year],” Ice Spice remarked to the publication. “Because I felt like ‘Princess Diana’ was already my best song on [Like…?]. But then it didn’t chart or anything until Nicki got on it. I was just so happy to have both of those worlds where I felt like it was culturally a great song, but also it charted. And then I had my dream collab fulfilled at the same time.”

Elsewhere during this conversation, Ice Spice also spoke on the most surprising commercial performances of her career so far. You might think that such a question would only focus on the positive ones, but she feels like she deserves a bit more love for one particular song. “I thought that ‘Actin a Smoochie’ would be a bigger song,” the 2024 Grammy nominee conceded. “Every time I hear it, I’m just gagged that it’s not bigger. [But] ‘Boy’s a liar, Pt. 2,’ I never thought that song would be as big as it is. I knew it would be a big moment, but I didn’t think it would be triple-platinum.”

Meanwhile, she also spoke on the creative process behind her next album Y2K and what drives her to write and record a track. “If the beat doesn’t instantly move me, like. if I don’t physically feel the beat of the speakers, then I’m just going to keep moving on to the next one,” the “Think U The S**t (Fart)” spitter revealed. “But as soon as I know, I know I have that beat. It’s up from there.” For more news and the latest updates on Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj, stick around on HNHH.

Toosii And Future Are Delivering The ‘Toxic Version’ Remix Of Their Fans’ ‘Favorite Song’

by

Toosii’s “Favorite Song” single has already seen the growth of its success, making its way onto the Billboard charts. To celebrate and give back to the fans who boosted it, he has dropped a new “Toxic Version” remix of the song that features Future. (It also follows the first remix he did with Khalid.)

Just as the update describes, Future’s verse finds himself detailing a toxic relationship. While it keeps Toosii’s original intro with Tatiana Manaois, Future tackles the first verse after the chorus.

“These b*tches too smart to compete with you (Smart) / I’ma leave her right now if she mention you,” he notes. See you tired of me constantly hurtin’ you / Feel like true love is the virtue / Can’t deny I bring out the best in you.”

Despite the ups and downs and the chaotic vibes, he still is holding out hope in the name of true love.

Next week, Toosii is set to perform the track solo during the season finale of The Voice on May 23. All remixes of the song, and the original version, will also be included on the rapper’s upcoming album, Naujour.

Check out Toosii’s “Favorite Song (Toxic Version)” feat. Future above.

Naujour is out 6/2 via South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records. Find more information here.

Toosii Taps Future For “Favorite Song (Toxic Version)” Remix

by

There’s plenty of new music to get into this Friday (May 19), including singles from Post Malone, Juice WRLD, and H.E.R., as well as a long-awaited R&B EP from Summer Walker. A few of our favourites have hopped on remixes with rising artists as well, such as Snoop Dogg’s work with Scar Lip on “This Is Cali,” and Future’s appearance on Toosii’s “Favorite Song.” In his usual fashion, the Atlanta native chiefly put a toxic twist on the popular track.

“These bitches too smart to compete with you / I’ma leave her right now if she mention you,” Hendrix begins his verse. “Only f*ckin’ on her just to get to you / Only f*ckin’ on her ’cause we’re missin’ you,” he later assures his lover. For his part, Toosii sadly sings on the chorus, “I’m on the stage right now, singin’ your favorite song / Look in the crowd, and you’re nowhere to be found as they sing along.”

Toosii Added Khalid To The Remix For His Top 20 Track, ‘Favorite Song,’ Ahead Of His New Album

by

For Toosii‘s brand new remix of his already Top 20 hit, “Favorite Song,” he brought Khalid along for the ride this time.

“I’m on the stage right now / Singing your favorite song,” Toosii notes in the chorus, which they sing together. “Look in the crowd / And you’re nowhere to be found as they sing along.”

“Now you’re right back where you started / And it hit me the most / ‘Cause I care for you and that’s how it goes / And I’m there for you like nobody knows / Since the day I met you, I told you, I won’t turn back / I’m locked in forever and, baby, I promise that,” Khalid adds in his individual verse.

“I’m excited to have Khalid join me on this track,” Toosii said about the collaboration, according to Hypebeast. “He has such a dope and unique voice and I think it really takes an already amazing song to the next level. I’ve been wanting to collab with him on the right track for a while and I think we picked the perfect one.”

Toosii’s new album, Naujour, is also set to drop this summer — with this remix potentially finding its way onto the tracklist.

Eminem Expertly Crafts Rhyme For “Orange” In Resurfaced “60 Minutes” Interview: Watch

by

He’s gone through countless musical and personal evolutions throughout his career. Still, Eminem remains one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop history. From his 1999 debut album, The Slim Shady LP, to 2022’s Curtain Call 2, the Detroit native has consistently delivered heat for over two decades. He’s best known for crafting rhymes that his contemporaries could never conceive. In fact, this past weekend, one of the recording artist’s most iconic moments resurfaced on social media in the form of a 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper.

“I’ve heard you say that you bend the word,” the journalist says to Eminem during their chat. “Yeah, it’s just in the enunciation of it,” Slim Shady replies. “Like, people say that the word ‘orange’ doesn’t rhyme with anything. That kinda pisses me off. I can think about a lot of things that rhyme with ‘orange.’” At this point, the interview almost feels like a skit, as it’s hard to tell how serious the rapper is being. However, he quickly proves that he meant every word, giving Cooper prime examples of his lyrical wit.

Eminem’s Rhyming Skills are Unmatched

“If you’re taking the word at face value, and you just say ‘orange,’ nothing is gonna rhyme with it exactly,” the “Mockingbird” hitmaker admits. “If you enunciate it, and you make it like, more than one syllable, ‘or-ange,’ you can say like… I put my or-ange, four-inch, door hinge in storage / And ate porridge, with Ge-orge.” As Eminem recites the bars, Cooper lets out a giggle, admiring the 8 Mile actor’s obvious dedication to his craft. “You just have to figure out the science of breaking down words,” the former noted.

Elsewhere in the news, Eminem’s incredible influence on the industry was proven once again this past weekend. Following the arrival of their Sremm4Life album on Friday (April 7), Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd admitted that he used to try to rap like Marshall Mathers in the earlier days of learning his craft. Read more about that here. Additionally, let us know if you think the 50-year-old did a good job of rhyming in the comments below.

Toosii’s Latest Single Is About To Be Your “Favorite Song”

by

Toosii’s first single of 2023, “Magic Potion,” arrived last month and has already amassed nearly 850K streams on Spotify alone. This New Music Friday (February 17), he’s following it up with a single that’s sure to become your “Favorite Song” in the near future.

The track boasts production by ADELSO and finds the recording artist getting vulnerable as he expresses his feelings about love. Across the nearly three-and-a-half-minute-long offering, the New Yorker lists off things that women typically love, like riding in the Wraith and going out on dates.

“You want somebody to come bring you flowers / Someone to talk to for hours / Wash your back while y’all sit in the shower,” he rhymes mid-way through the first verse. When the pre-chorus rolls around, Toosii croons about his love interest opening her heart to him. “Someone to tell you you’re beautiful / Someone to tell you and mean it.”

In a press release, the singer explains, “‘Favorite Song’ is about touching every dynamic of what a woman expects from a man. It’s a heart-throbbing, real-life, and motivational record. But yet a distinct song that is bound to be your favorite song.”

As Genius notes, the new arrival samples Tatiana Manaois’ “You Might As Well,” which previously premiered in November 2022. Toosii previously teased the track on TikTok and Instagram – since then fans have been eagerly awaiting its debut on DSPs. At the same time, the 23-year-old teased other titles like “Woo Lady,” “Another Love Song,” and “Georgia.”

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m on the stage right now, singin’ your favorite song
Look in the crowd, and you’re nowhere to be found as they sing along
I say, “You look good without no make-up, no lashes, even better when you wake up” (Oh, oh, oh)
