Future, Metro Boomin & Rick Ross Show Off Their “Everyday Hustle” In New Music Video

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Everyday Hustle” is one of the best cuts off of Future and Metro Boomin’s 2024 collab album, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. We don’t understand why it took this long to drop the music video, but the Rick Ross-assisted cut finally got a visual treatment… Well, sort of. Fewtch doesn’t rap in it: he just looks cool for the camera while a lot of footage of booty-shaking plays. Then, for his verse, Rozay stands in front of his private jet and flexes a lot of his material belongings, but it doesn’t seem like the most tight, concise, or unified vision. Maybe it was just some old footage they wanted to splice into a new vid on The Biggest Boss’ channel, which wouldn’t be the first time he made a feature a music video of its own.

Regardless, every single one of these artists is dealing with a lot of career and gossip stuff that probably has them busy right now. As such, the “Everyday Struggle” video came at an opportune time for them to enjoy this release and give fans a little something in the meantime. Beyond his Future and Metro Boomin feature, Rick Ross is still dealing with his “biggest opp,” as he raps on the song. He and Tia Kemp have not stopped throwing each other under the bus with scathing allegation after scathing allegation.

As for Metro Boomin, the Future collaborator recently responded to sexual assault allegations against him. “These are false accusations,” his lawyer Lawrence Hinkle III reportedly told Billboard. “Mr. Wayne refused to pay her months ago, and he refuses to pay her now. Mr. Wayne will defend himself in court. He will file a claim for malicious prosecution once he prevails.”

Meanwhile, Future recently hit the studio up with Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and none other than a recently released Young Thug. Fans wonder what this link-up resulted in, and whether or not we’ll hear new Thugger music this year or early in the next. It’s an everyday hustle for all these hip-hop artists, even if music videos don’t always turn out like some fans expected.

Barry White’s Estate Files Copyright Lawsuit Over Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” Sample

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The estate of late legend Barry White, led by his widow Glodean B. White and Jack W. Perry, began a curious legal battle recently, according to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop. Moreover, they launched a copyright lawsuit involving Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That,” but it’s not as simple as it sounds. In fact, these three rap artists and their labels are not named as codefendants in the suit. Rather, the suit seems to target Rodney-O and Joe Cooley for their 1986 track, “Everlasting Bass.” But why? Let’s break it down and see what we can find.

In 1973, Barry White released his classic cut “I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Babe.” The Barry White Family Trust claims that Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” unlawfully and directly stole that White song’s bassline. But what “Like That” sampled was “Everlasting Bass,” not the White track directly, so the complaint says that Rodney-O and Joe Cooley also infringed on White’s copyright. After all, they were the first ones to sample “I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Babe” in this case.

As such, it seems like Rodney-O and Joe Cooley are the main codefendants in this case, presumably along with the applicable record labels. But why aren’t Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar, or their labels named as codefendants? In the complaint, it’s noted that these artists and their labels probably got indemnification from Rodney-O and Joe Cooley, which basically means that the duo would take responsibility for any copyright infringement on the trio’s behalf. However, plaintiffs also expressed that they would consider suing the WE DON’T TRUST YOU duo and K.Dot directly if this indemnification, which would protect them from legal action, is insufficient.

Furthermore, the Barry White Family Trust seeks over $1 million in damages for unauthorized reproductions, digital downloads, streaming revenues, and other forms of infringement. With all this in mind, whether Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar, and their labels answer for this directly is still a mystery. But one thing’s for sure: Barry White’s estate indirectly (and perhaps unknowingly) entered one of the greatest rap beefs ever.

Future & Metro Boomin Take A Victory Lap In Visuals For “Streets Made Me A King”

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Future and Metro Boomin continue to prove that they are one of the most inseparable duos in hip-hop. After assisting Mr. Hendrix on his R&B-flavored sister album HNDRXX, the superstar beat craft from St. Louis, MO took some time away from his Atlanta brother. In fact, the hiatus went from 2018 to the very end of 2022. Even on Metro’s projects NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES and SAVAGE MODE II did Pluto appear. But when “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)”dropped at midnight, December 2, all was right with the world. The two trap icons were reunited and that would be the start to their rekindling. Since then, they have gone on to release a tandem of projects this year, both of which figure to be in rotation for many beyond 2024.

The most recent is WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, the April sequel to the March LP, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Quite a bit of fans are coming around to the former, after a lot of them were quite let down initially. It makes sense considering the fact that the first of the two albums was more hype and dark. Of course, it’s also got tracks such as “Like That”, the title track, “Type S***”, “WTFYM”, and more. WSDTY sees more R&B and melodic cuts like the ones we got on HNDRXX seven years ago. However, to appease the masses Future and Metro gave us more aggressive cuts on disc two, such as the closing song, “Streets Made Me A King”.

The braggadocious anthem about street life making Hendrix a star is a classic theme that fans eat up every time. It may not be one of the most popular cuts, but the track is a certified banger. For these albums, the Wonder Twins have put out a handful of music videos, and WSDTY is receiving its third. You can check them out taking a victory lap over the successes with the link below.
