Freddie Gibbs Praised By Fans For Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vultures” Feature

by

Freddie Gibbs is a fan-favorite feature on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s new collab album, Vultures. It finally came out this weekend, and just like many fans anticipated, he provided a killer guest verse on the track “Back To Me.” Of course, this was one of the first previewed songs that we heard from this project, and it dates back to their first listening event for it. Over a crisp drum break and ethereal vocal samples, the Indiana MC flows wildly over it, displaying why he’s one of the best spitters in the game right now. Say what you will about Ye, his collaborators, and the ugly parts of this rollout, release, and platform, but talking strictly about the music, the effort here is undeniable.

What’s more is that fans on social media are really excited about finally getting this feature on Vultures after so long. “Freddie Gibbs deserves a lifetime supply of YZY products after giving a verse like that wtf,” one user expressed. “Freddie Gibbs took off on this Ye Album. One of my favorite verses so far this year. Lethal,” another added, and you can find many more messages like these a little further down below. If you don’t have Apple Music (the only platform the album is up on at press time), you can find leaked versions of the cut on YouTube, Twitter, or other social media platforms.

Freddie Gibbs Hops On Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Back to Me”

However, there was a point in which Freddie Gibbs’ appearance on Vultures was a bit more of a contentious affair. In his rant about wanting to work with Ye and do a better job than his collaborators, JPEGMAFIA ended up taking shots at the Piñata lyricist. This is ironic because Peggy provided production on a couple of tracks on the new album, and all of them are stellar additions. At least this beef didn’t result in either artist delivering mediocre performances or contributions.

Fan Reactions To The Vultures Cut

Meanwhile, with two more Vultures volumes and a solo Ye album reportedly on the way, we’ll see what other features capture fans’ hearts. Was “Back to Me” your favorite track on this first edition or did other features take the cake?

Kanye West Claims He Is Being Blackballed By Major Concert Venues For Obvious Reasons

After several delays, it looks like Kanye West is finally dropping his Ty Dolla Sign collaboration album, Vultures this Friday (February 8) — maybe. But either way, it appears that Ye is having trouble booking venues. In a clip shared to social media, Ye expressed frustration after having supposedly been blackballed by the live music industry.

“We just sold out the United Center in seven minutes and I just wanted to express to everybody out there to see if anybody can help with this,” Ye said in his Instagram Story. “It’s the only arena I had access to in the past year. And when I call, people say there’s no availables for me and you know why that is. If there’s anybody out there that can help with this, please do.”

As for “you know why that is,” Ye is likely referring to his various antisemitism controversies (or his various non-antisemitism controversies).

In following Stories, Ye shared that he reached out to rapper Freddie Gibbs for help. Shortly after, Gibbs informed Ye that several venues across the world are supposedly interested in booking him.

Gibbs shared a spreadsheet of venues that supposedly expressed interest in booking him. Venues in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City are evidently wanting to add him to their lineup. Internationally, it looks like venues in Cairo, Dubai, and London may book him soon as well. It appears that if Ye is to tour soon, the tour will kick off this June, and go until 2025.

You can see details of Ye’s and Gibbs’ chat above.

Freddie Gibbs’ Baby Mama & Millyz Wear Matching Outfits After Her Diss Track: “Treacherous Lil Twin”

by

When Freddie Gibbs and Destini Fox were sharing their relationship in the public eye, the duo seemed like a match made in Heaven. Unfortunately, the bliss didn’t last as long as they were both expecting when the latter, also known as FIT MAMI, became pregnant. She says that Gibbs spoke frequently with her about wanting to build a family together, but when the time came for him to step up to the plate, he no longer felt ready for the responsibility. Seeing as she wasn’t comfortable with terminating the pregnancy, she’s now taking care of their little one on her own and even included the baby in her music video earlier this year.

On “New Baby Mama,” Fox put her ex on blast for abandoning her and their family. At the same time, she shaded him over his feud with Benny The Butcher, whom she recently posed for photos with, much to fans’ surprise. It seems the content creator isn’t stopping there. As HipHopDX reports, her latest lyricist lover is Millyz, who she posted up with in coordinated outfits on Monday (January 29). On his account, the seasoned rhymer wrote, “Treacherous lil twin 😈” along with a collection of cute images. The first finds them posing in the mirror, FIT MAMI accentuating her ample chest under a white tank. Millyz was dressed similarly, though his jeans were a slightly lighter wash than hers.

10 years ago, Freddie Gibbs and Madlib teamed up for the release of their pivotal joint album Piñata, a project that changed the trajectory of Gibbs’ career and returned Madlib to the mainstream rap spotlight. Since its release, Gibbs has gone on a truly breathtaking run culminating in the release of his first major-label album, while Madlib has been a hotly demanded producer by seemingly everyone from Mac Miller to Talib Kweli to Pusha T. And, of course, “MadGibbs” teamed up once again for the Piñata sequel Bandana, proving the prior album’s success was no fluke.

Now, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the game-changing album, Gibbs and ‘Lib have announced a minor tour to celebrate. They’ll hit three cities — Boston, Chicago, and New York — in May, backed by El Michels Affair, the hip-hop band that most recently collaborated with Black Thought on his Glorious Game LP and played backing music for Gibbs and Madlib’s NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert. Openers will include Eyedress and Pink Siifu

The presale for the three shows begins Tuesday (January 23) at 10:00 am local time, while the general sale starts Friday (January 26) at 10:00 am.

JPEGMAFIA Rips Kanye West For Not Working With Him, Sends Shots At Freddie Gibbs

by

JPEGMAFIA is an artist who is not afraid to speak up about the things that make him passionate. Overall, he is an artist who takes risk and that certainly comes through in his music. His album with Danny Brown, Scaring The Hoes, was our best of 2023, and he has plans for more projects. In fact, the artist is in the midst of working on his latest solo album, and he has been telling fans that it should be here soon. However, over the weekend, JPEG focused his attention on none other than Kanye West.

In a now-deleted rant, JPEG had a lot to say about the legendary hitmaker. Essentially, he was upset at how Ye has passed him up to work with other artists. This even led to some shots at none other than Freddie Gibbs. “Also Kanye West i respect u but the way u acknowledge n****s who have less to offer u than me makes me feel a way,” the artist wrote. “Im a scientist in the lab a surgeon bruh u and u skip over me for n****s thats getting they baby mommas fucked on camera. I wanna make money fuck these n****s.” This morning, JPEGMAFIA apologized for his rant, although he still thinks Ye has a propensity for working with incels.

FIT MAMI’s “New Baby Mama” Diss Track Attacks Freddie Gibbs, Nicki Minaj Style: Stream

by

We already wrote about Latto and Ice Spice notably bringing their subliminal beef with them into 2024, and it looks like they aren’t the only ones holding grudges. After giving birth to a baby boy, Freddie Gibbs’ ex has some fighting words for the Indiana native, who allegedly got her pregnant before deciding he doesn’t feel ready for fatherhood. Destini, better known as FIT MAMI online, has told her side of the story online, but her former boyfriend has hardly spoken on the situation, save for denying the rumours about her paying for his phone bill.

In the last quarter of 2023, Destini further pushed Gibbs’ buttons by linking up with his arch nemesis, Benny The Butcher. A photo of the twosome went viral online, and now it seems that the influencer might’ve used her time with the East Coast icon to get some advice on a diss track she’s been crafting. Earlier this week, she unleashed her version of Nicki Minaj’s “Barbie Dreams,” aptly titled “New Baby Mama.”

“What type of ni**a say he want a kid and disown it? / The same type of ni**a that freeze up in the heat of the moment,” Destini asks her ex over the famous beat. “I knew you was a b**ch when you seen Benny The Butcher / And he b**ch slapped you after he took your chain and your Rolex,” she continues, mentioning Gibbs’ infamous beatdown at the hands of his rival.

Check out the wild music video for FIT MAMI’s “New Baby Mama,” diss track above. If you’re feeling her bars, be sure to show the social media starlet some love on Spotify/Apple Music. As for her baby daddy‘s newest musical efforts, he spent some time in the studio with Propain and Devin The Dude before wrapping up 2023. Tap into that at the link below, and check back later for more HNHH release recommendations.

Freddie Gibbs Blasts Akademiks After Blogger’s Sexual Assault Allegations Hit Online

by
Freddie Gibbs

DJ Akademiks had a rough ending to 2023 with sexual assault allegations levied on his name. Freddie Gibbs uses the moment to get jabs in on his longtime enemy.

“Let the disrespect be as loud as the disrespect,” Gibbs wrote. “@Akademiks quiet as a church mouse today happy new year U rapist ass bitch.”

In case you missed it, DJ Akademiks trended over the weekend after his ex-girlfriend accused him of sexual assault. During an Instagram Live session, the woman, Ziya Abashae, stated Ak and two of his friends allegedly committed the crime.

According to HipHopDX, a rape kit was conducted, and she shunned the claims by the controversial personality who stated she engaged in an orgy with his friends.

“For you to pretend you didn’t do anything? That I just went to your house, and I’m some thot, like we didn’t know each other for two years,” Abashae said. “You tried to save yourself after your friends assaulted me. Whether or not you got drunk or not, I know that when you woke up, you were on top of me too. You raped me too.”

Additional claims online feature a woman stating that Akademiks engaged in communication with her until she was 18 before he attempted to have sex with her and a video surfacing with a woman screaming in the background.

You can see it all below.

Propain, Freddie Gibbs, And Devin The Dude Combine Their Talents On “Always Down”

by

Propain has not been the most active rapper this year, but he is back to deliver a new LP for his fans. The Houston, Texas artist has just come by with a 13-track offering in the form of Made From Scratch. It has been quite some time since HNHH has covered one of Propain’s projects. In fact, it was about two years ago that we touched on It Ain’t Safe Outside. That was also a tighter listen, sitting at just 12 songs and 41 minutes in length. It contained features from other Texas natives like Sauce Walka, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, and more.

Made From Scratch also features names from the state where it is go big or go home. Propain grabbed guest verses from Big K.R.I.T., Sauce Walka, OTB Fastlane, up-and-comer That Mexican OT, and more. One track we wanted to feature includes the talents of Freddie Gibbs and Devin The Dude. It is track number 10 on the LP.

Listen To “Always Down” By Propain, Freddie Gibbs, And Devin the Dude

There is a ton of Southern hip-hop influence here, obviously. But, this song does it a little differently. It removes the heavy bass and relies solely on softer drums. Additionally, there is some great layering here too. The “always down” looping vocals add to the dusty and hypnotizing feeling this track gives off. Propain and Freddie deliver some aggressive verses to contrast the more lowkey production.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “Always Down,” by Propain, Freddie Gibbs, and Devin The Dude? Is this the best song from Made from Scratch? If not, what song are you going to put above it? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Propain, Freddie Gibbs, and Devin The Dude.
