Erica Banks Wants To Go Freestyle For Freestyle With Megan Thee Stallion

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Erica Banks is no stranger to the medium of freestyling. Just earlier this year she used it to clap back at her haters by borrowing her own lines. When critics came for her “Get Silly” freestyle back in January she had all the right answers ready to go. She recently took to Instagram to share a video of her freestyle over Gucci Mane’s “I Think I Love Her” celebrating the fan reception of her performance. But in the comments a fan couldn’t help but bring up someone else who also tried their hand at freestyling over the song.

That someone else is Megan Thee Stallion, who also dropped her take on the track to Instagram. “oh she must wanna go freestyle for freestyle?!? Nobody seeing erica” one of the top comments on Banks’ post reads. She eventually pinned the comment to the post, essentially cosigning the sentiment expressed. In the comments of an Instagram post recapping the whole affair, fans debate who would come out on top. “Erica is talented & nobody could ever say different. However! She will always be the TEMU version of MEGAN” one of the top comments on the post reads. “Erica ate & won hands down!!! but I’m sure y’all gon’ say it was Megan, cause that’s y’all Victim Queen” another comment disagrees. Check out the ongoing debate between the two freestylers below.

Megan Thee Stallion has her fans hyped for new music coming soon. Her last album Traumazine dropped back in 2022 and while it was met with mixed reviews that hasn’t stopped her die hard fans from being excited for a follow-up. She’s already teased it with two fiery singles “Cobra” last year and “HISS” earlier this year.

What do you think of Erica Banks’ seemingly wanting to go freestyle for freestyle with Megan Thee Stallion? Which rapper do you think delivered the better performance over Gucci Mane’s “I Think I Love Her?” Let us know in the comment section below.

Megan Thee Stallion Drops Flurry Of Bars On “I Think I Love Her Freestyle”

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion is looking to put her stamp on her self-proclaimed “Megan May” with a new freestyle called “I Think I Love Her.” This off-the-dome session was just uploaded on the Texas rapper’s various social media platforms. The track, standing at 1:43 sees her spit with great proficiency as she brags over the grimy guitar-backed instrumental. If the beat sounds familiar at all, that is because Gucci Mane made a song of the same name on his 2015 mixtape Wilt Chamberlain (Pt.5).

However, we talked about this Guwop classic much sooner. In fact, it was back in January of this year when Erica Banks, a fellow Texas femcee, spit some bars on “I Think I Love Em (Freestyle).” The remix did well for the “Buss It” rapper, and now its Megan’s turn. This aggressive cut is also a pretty big deal for the Hotties, as this is a long overdue return of #MeganMonday.

Listen To “I Think I Love Her Freestyle” By Megan Thee Stallion

This is a series she has been doing for quite some time and this is certainly a great way to revive it. “Every Monday they gon’ wait for the freestyle / Call me out once, you do not get a redial,” Megan raps. It is clear that Megan is looking to regain her throne at the top of the female rap game. That has been apparent ever since she dropped “Cobra” late last year, as well as her ruthless Nicki Minaj diss track “HISS” in February.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new freestyle “I Think I Love Her” by Megan Thee Stallion? Do you think she should continue to release more of these, why or why not? Are #MeganMondays going to a recurring thing in your opinion? Could you see her dropping her album or new single this Friday?

N****s ain’t had no taste before COVID
I can tell by her wig that she trolling

Tokyo Toni Slams Megan Thee Stallion & Cardi B In New Freestyle

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tokyo Toni is someone who never fails to keep her followers entertained, and her latest freestyle is certainly no exception. Earlier this week, the iconic mother of Angela White, FKA Blac Chyna, took to social media to spit some bars for her fans. As expected, she threw plenty of shade along the way, namely towards Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B.

The Finding Love ASAP star is known to have issues with Cardi, as she’s both a fan and friend of one of the femcee’s longtime rivals, Nicki Minaj. During Nicki’s infamous feud with Meg after the drop of “Hiss,” she also sided with the “FTCU” performer. She’s since accused Cardi B of stealing her look and sneak dissing her, and slammed any Meg supporter to cross her path.

Tokyo kept her disses short and simple, but they still managed to pack a punch. “Nicki Minaj, shout-out,” she rhymes. “Cardi B lost out. Megan thotted out.” Clearly, Tokyo Toni isn’t dodging any kind of smoke these days. It’s to be seen whether or not either of the rappers will respond. Fortunately for them, they’re in good company, as the reality star has also previously dissed Beyonce, Karlissa Saffold, and many more. She even recently went after Rick Ross in another freestyle, calling the hitmaker a “fat bald b*tch.”

“Maybach Music? What the f**k is that?” Tokyo also rapped. “The ni**a’s a rat / He got the police friends and that.” What do you think of Tokyo Toni’s new freestyle? What about her dissing Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B? Are you surprised? Do you think Nicki Minaj is glad she got a shout-out? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cam’ron Fans Want A New Album After Hearing His Killer Freestyle

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a long time since Cam’ron dropped new music. The New York rapper has rebranded himself as a podcaster on the popular series It Is What It Is, but fans are still waiting for him to pick the mic back up. Fans can rejoice, because he finally did. Cam’ron decided to give fans a taste of new music on April 22, with a freestyle meant to commemorate the release of It Is What It Is season 4. Rather than get fans buzzing about new episodes, however, it fueled rumors of Cam getting back in the studio.

Cam proved that he hasn’t lost a step on the untitled freestyle. “Heck my shoes before I put them on, I don’t trust a soul,” he raps over Hitmakerz-esque production. Cam credited the beat to Goddams, who’s worked with Masta Ace, Mobb Deep, and the “Purple Haze” wordsmith himself among countless others. The freestyle drew rave reviews from users, who pleaded with Cam’ron to get back in the studio and bless the world with more Dipset magic.

Cam’ron has comfortably settled into his role as podcaster, but he like to tease fans every once in a while. During a February episode of It Is What It Is, Cam claimed he and co-host Mase have multiple collabs in the vault. “It’s up to Mase to decide when to drop them,” he added.

Cam’ron didn’t have the prodigious output of a Lil Wayne, but he was one of the most consistent rappers of the 2000s. He dropped five solo albums and a ton of Dipset mixtapes/compilations. He’s slowed down his output, however, over the last decade and a half. He waited a decade to follow up Crime Pays (2009) with Purple Haze 2 (2019), which remains his last official release.

Cam talked about the decision to stop recording during an interview with Complex. He claimed that he wanted to pursue different ventures like podcasting and screenwriting, and urged others to do the same. “Rappers who came out in the ’90s or early 2000s, [rapping] shouldn’t be the main thing you’re doing,” he noted. “Like when you say Jay-Z is a billionaire, it’s not all for music.”

Cam’ron has officially come back around to rapping. He dropped the mixtape The Lost Files, Vol. 1 in 2023, and dropped a guest verse on J. Cole’s “Ready ’24.” There’s no project title or release date in sight, but it’s nice to know the NYC legend has still got it.

REASON Explains Why He Rapped Over Drake’s “8AM In Charlotte”

April 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

REASON recently dropped a killer freestyle over the song “8AM In Charlotte” by the 6ix God, which is optically a pretty interesting move considering that he’s signed to TDE. If you’re reading this from under your rock in the middle of nowhere, Kendrick Lamar is in some pretty heavy beef with Drizzy right now… or is it the other way around? Either way, the West Coast MC noticed two problems with the general reaction to his freestyle. The first is that people called this instrumental a “Drake beat,” and the second is that he’s doing this to pick a side against K.Dot, who’s not even on Top Dawg anymore but obviously still has some strong bonds with his former parters and label mates.

“It’s “Conductor’s” beat not drakes. I love good production!” REASON replied on Twitter to a page posting his freestyle. With that first statement, and a reply affirming that the beat is actually produced by Conductor Williams and Mario Luciano, he rightfully attempts to combat producer erasure in hip-hop discussions, something we should all do a better job of avoiding. Also, the “I Don’t Tr u st You!“ MC seemed to avoid taking specific stances with that last sentence, simply standing by his love of good production. As such, maybe this doesn’t have to be the “civil war” that we’re all painting it as.

REASON Freestyles Over Conductor Williams & Mario Luciano’s “8AM In Charlotte” Beat: Snippet

In fact, good production was also the reason behind REASON’s co-sign of Drake’s Kendrick Lamar diss, commonly referred to as “Push Ups.” However, this was just co-signing the new beat for it, not the actual lyrics or sentiment against Mr. Morale. But for fans who are familiar with his trajectory with TDE, you know that he has plenty of conflict with the label and is actively trying to get out of his deal. They butted heads over realized potential, album delays, and an overall lack of support from the higher-ups that they attribute to not making the right moves as an artist. Furthermore, this complicated web is one that Aubrey Graham’s shots at Top Dawg Entertainment might slightly illuminate.

Still, that’s just speculation at this point, as there’s no clear link between all of these parties and situations. Elsewhere, the TDE camp also reacted to J. Cole apologizing to Kendrick Lamar from dropping a diss of his own. But your biggest takeaway from all this should be very simple: check this dope freestyle with On The Radar out!

Scar Lip Teases New Freestyle That Samples “Jenny From The Block”

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Emerging Gen Z rap sensation Scar Lip recently teased her forthcoming freestyle on Instagram. The teaser features a surprising twist. It’s a sample from Jennifer Lopez’s iconic hit, “Jenny from the Block.” The snippet was accompanied with a video, which showcased Scar Lip mouthing the freestyle and quite literally on the “block.” Furthermore, for those unacquainted with Scar Lip, she’s been making waves with her distinctive fusion of rap. She carves out a distinct niche in the ever-evolving hip-hop scene. With her upcoming freestyle, she ventures into different territory that’s different from all of her releases thus far.

The decision to sample “Jenny from the Block,” a chart-topping anthem from the early 2000s, serves as a nod to the cyclical nature of music. What once served as a nostalgic anthem for Millennials now is breathing new life into its timeless appeal. However, responses to the freestyle have been mixed. Some are applauding her for continuing to stay consistent and try new things. Others are critiquing the song choice itself and the nature of the video. Considering she also featured children in the video and rapped what some referred to be an inappropriate line: “Just to make a little we be selling rock.”

Moreover, social media had its own share of opinions. “Gen Z sampling everything Millennials grew up on,” noted one person. This comment highlights the trend of younger artists drawing inspiration from the moments of preceding decades. It’s a testament to the influence of artists like Jennifer Lopez, for example. Yet, amidst the praise, critics also shared their opinions. “Wasted talent with all these cheesy freestyles,” said another. This statement echoed the sentiments shared by others who felt that Scar Lip’s artistic direction missed the mark.

“Oh nahh this not it!” exclaimed another. Nevertheless, defenders of Scar Lip’s artistic vision also popped in to affirm her right to explore and experiment with her sound. “She working and making music, ion see the problem!!” said someone else. Furthermore, as Scar Lip continues to evolve as an artist, one thing remains certain. Her willingness to push boundaries and try new things. What do you think of the freestyle? Let us know on HNHH!

Baby Tate Proves She’s No Baby After All With Fiery Freestyle

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Baby Tate is becoming an increasingly reliable source for impressive freestyle moments. The hard-hitting, versatile rapper is capable of playing it effortlessly casual or dialing it in and popping off on her adversaries. Just last week she stopped by On The Radar for a performance in the now iconic green room. While there she showed love to numerous female rappers and singers who paved the way for her like Rihanna, Missy Elliott, and Nicki Minaj.

But in her newest freestyle performance, Baby Tate is all about herself. She shared the hard-hitting new freestyle to Instagram earlier this week and fans have been eating it up. In her performance she recontextualizes her name, assuring everyone that while she’s called Baby, she isn’t a kid. She also assures any rapper trying to act like her mother that she “barely calls them sis.” She did it all while recording from what appears to be her bedroom with a pretty basic set-up. Check out the video of her newest freestyle below.

Baby Tate is featured on a song that was at the center of a viral challenge last year. She teamed up with JID and 21 Savage for the track “Surround Sound” from JID’s 2022 album The Forever Story. While the song was an instant fan-favorite it didn’t reach its peak of success until more than a year later. That came because it served as the soundtrack for a TikTok challenge that shot it up the charts.

Since then “Surround Sound” has gone platinum and racked up nearly 500 million streams on Spotify alone. It’s currently Baby Tate’s most-streamed song on the platform outpacing tracks like “STUPID” and “Hey, Mickey!” What do you think of Baby Tate’s new freestyle? Do you think she did a good job proving that the Baby in her name isn’t indicative of her style or talent? Let us know in the comment section below.

DaBaby Affirms His Stature In Hip-Hop With Fiery “Like That” Freestyle

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If there is someone who we think has had a frustrating career in hip-hop, it is DaBaby. We have seen the Cleveland, Ohio rapper flash his technical abilities. He can write, flow, all while having a commanding mic presence. However, we feel – as well as a good amount of the community feels – that it has been an inconsistent ride in terms of quality. His last couple of projects, namely, Baby On Baby 2, BETTER THAN YOU, and BLAME IT ON BABY, have come and gone. Conversely, DaBaby has shone on freestyles, especially his recent performance over “Like That.”

The Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar track has created a civil war of words in rap and it has been incredibly fun to follow. For the time being, it has brought back the competitiveness, as Drake has been the one in everyone’s line of sight lately. But what is cool about it is that it has created this ripple effect. Rappers not even involved in the beef have been feeling more ready than ever lately to prove they feel they deserve to be in the “big three” conversations. DaBaby is one of those rappers, based on his hungry performance on the diss track.

Fans also seem to be in agreeance on this freestyle showing on X, according to AllHipHop. One person writes, “No cap I’d be here for a DaBaby come back only if he rapping like THAT tho. Yall forgive worse ppl.” Another adds, “Dababy has never been a bad rapper he just made dumb a** decisions because he thought he was bigger than he actually was.”

What are your thoughts on DaBaby for his “Like That” freestyle? Who else should give their best attempt at rapping over this instrumental? Which freestyle was better, this one, or “Get It Sexyy?” We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding DaBaby. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Baby Tate plays a small but pretty important role in a song that went massively viral across the past 6 months. She teamed up with JID and 21 Savage for the track “Surround Sound” which landed on JID’s 2022 album The Forever Story. While the song was a fan-favorite right out of the gate it didn’t really catch fire until it became the soundtrack to a TikTok challenge last year. That led the song to eventually go platinum and it currently sits at nearly 500 million streams on Spotify.

NLE Choppa Delivers Raunchy Remix Of Tyla’s “Water” During Kai Cenat Stream

April 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

South African starlet Tyla’s 2023 hit “Water” was recently given the NLE Choppa treatment, and it’s as raunchy as one would expect. The rapper appeared on Kai Cenat’s stream earlier this week, where he freestyled over the famous track while the internet icon danced behind him. It doesn’t appear as though the 21-year-old was taking his remix too seriously. Either way, some commenters think he nailed it, and are sounding off on Twitter/X.

“I mean it could have been worse,” one fan writes. “This good tunes,” another claims. Some critics weren’t impressed, however, and are calling for the Memphis-born performer to leave the song alone. “I think we need to take a step back with music,” one Twitter/X user says. Someone else adds, “This is so trash.” Check out NLE Choppa’s “Water” freestyle down below.

NLE Choppa’s NSFW Freestyle

Most viewers are focused on NLE Choppa’s raunchy bars, but plenty are also concerned with how Tyla will feel about the remix, and how Kai was dancing during it. “Tyla never coming back on Kai Cenat stream after this NLE Choppa freestyle,” one user writes. “Kai turning up to it like it’s the next best hit,” another says. This is far from the first time NLE Choppa’s explicit lyrics left fans in awe, however. Last month, he performed a new song for his audience at Rolling Loud, which garnered quite a few reactions for its NSFW rhymes and his suggestive dance moves. The track, “Slut Me Out 2,” is scheduled for release at midnight (April 12).

His increasingly scandalous social media activity even recently caught the attention of Adam22, who complimented the MC for one of his thirst traps. He didn’t seem interested in the No Jumper host, but did note that he’d be willing to get to know his wife, Lena The Plug. What do you think of NLE Choppa’s “Water” freestyle? Do you prefer his or Tyla’s version? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
