Kodak Black Says He's Drake's Favorite Rapper | The Source

Kodak Black has fired a new diss off to Kodak Black. The drop, “11am in Malibu,” recorded over Drake’s “8AM in Charlotte,” reignites the 2023 beef between the two that stems from Black working on a single with Tekashi 6ix9ine.

“And niggas been scared of me from ever since I remember
that’s what the streets tell me
I don’t even care about that shit, though,
I’m tryna get rich, ho
Who Boosie think he is? Who you niggas think you being?”

– Boosie on n”11am in Malibu”

In Aug. 2023, Boosie Badazz officially dissed Kodak Black. The words can be heard on the “Ungrateful” track on his Goin Thru Some Thangs album.

Everything that you rap, you ain’t never did that
‘Cause the other n***a talking, he a certified rat

Kodak Black collaborated with 6ix9ine, and it upset a certain pocket of the hip-hop community. In the upset pile is Boosie.

Following the collaboration, Black reposted a critical video of Boosie’s behavior. Adding the story to his Instagram story, Black called Boosie a clown, writing, “Poosie a [clown emoji].”

Boosie had a swift response on Twitter, calling him “Kodak Thee Stallion.”

“SOLD U SOUL FA A MILLION!!” Boosie wrote. “I KNOW U A TAKE A DICK for 20 MILLION SMH U BEEN WEIRD!! U AINT NEVER BEEN NO STREET N-GGA U A CAPPER RAPPER LOL NICKELODEON ASS N-GGA LOL N-GGA SHOULDA STUCK THEY FINGER N YO ASSHOLE #KODAKTHESTALLION.”

Kodak Black’s collaboration with 6ix9ine may rub some wrong, but he was compensated well. According to Wack 100, he orchestrated the new single, and Black was paid “a whole lot of money” and a special gift from Wack.

Wack 100 reveals Black arrived late at night, and the rapper had “fire in his eyes” and had a “man-to-man” conversation with 6ix9ine.

“Right before he left, shit, we kept it gangsta,” Wack 100 said. “He came in a black car and he left in a Rolls Royce. tossed him the keys, tell him ‘go home.’ He put his baby seat in that bitch, jumped in the driver’s seat.”

The new single is titled “Shaka Laka.” You can hear the single and Wack’s detail of the new single below.

The distaste for snitches runs through Boosie Badazz’s entire family. Boosie’s son, Tootie Raww, throws shots at Kodak Black for teaming with 6ix9ine on a new single.

“@Kodakblack how u promise me a song then don’t do my song and hope on a song wit a rat smh,” Raww wrote on Instagram.

Today In Hip Hop History: The Source Magazine Remembers the Legacy of Big Pun 24 Years Later

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On this date in 2000, the Hip Hop community was shocked and saddened by the untimely death of lyrical giant Christopher “Big Pun” Rios. As the premiere artist for Fat Joe’s Terror Squad, Pun became the first Latino Hip Hop artist to go platinum and discovered TS’ First Lady, Remy Ma.

Pun is regarded as one of the game’s best lyricists ever to do it, or as he is aptly described, one of the best “dead or alive.” His only two full-length releases, Capital Punishment and Yeeahhh Baby, are considered classic albums among true Hip Hop aficionados and continue to get radio play on his smash singles “I’m Not A Player” and the posthumous “It’s So Hard.”

Rest In Peace to Pun, and sincere condolences to the Rios family from the entire Mind Squad.

#RIPBIGPUN

A Mouth Full Of “Crome”: A Historic Solo Exhibition By Miami’s Own CROME

February 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Miami’s vibrant urban art scene was never the same after local teenage artist Crome emerged in the mid-1990s with a novel style accompanied by an unstoppable urge to write his name on every possible surface in all of South Florida.

His 1999 nationally publicized legal battles, alongside his partner Crook, put Miami on the map as a hotbed for the rebellious artform that seemingly just couldn’t be stopped.

Now, 25 years later, the Museum of Graffiti celebrates the artist for his contributions to graffiti art both in the streets and via his robust studio practice filled with color soaked abstract portraits of people encountered over decades spent painting in the streets.

Crome’s works on canvas and paper show the artist’s perspective on real life encounters with the underbelly of society, inspired by his own journey navigating addiction, incarceration, and survival as an artist.

“Guests of the exhibit can expect masterful paintings that communicate the artist’s raw emotion, a dedication to a life of art, and an honest perspective on life in an urban environment where people’s dreams are often lost and free thinkers are rarely celebrated,” said Museum of Graffiti co-founder and curator Alan Ket. “Crome’s paintings celebrate the marginalized and the fighters that inspire him to stay in the game as a working artist.”

According to Luminate, “Hiss” debuted with 29.2 million streams in its first week, 2.9 million radio airplay audience impressions and 104,000 downloads sold from January 26th to February 1st. The single claimed the top positions on the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts. This achievement marks Megan Thee Stallion’s fourth number-one on Streaming Songs, following her hits “Savage” (one week at No. 1), “WAP” (10 weeks), and “Body” (one week), all in 2020. Additionally, she achieved her fourth No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart with “Savage” (three weeks), her collaboration with Cardi B on “WAP” (two weeks), and “Bongos” (one week last September).
