LeBron James Inundated With GOAT Noises After Monstrous Performance: Watch

by

LeBron James is one of the best players in the entire history of the NBA. However, this should be known to everyone by now. Overall, he is someone who has continuously shown just how good he is, regardless of age. In fact, this season, he was able to beat the scoring record. This was seen as a massive achievement that very few people saw coming when he first stepped into the league. That said, he is a player who has a ton of accolades, and he continues to build his legendary resume.

To start the season, the Los Angeles Lakers were not very good. Consequently, they spent a lot of time in 13th place, while fans called for Russell Westbrook to be traded. Finally, that trade took place at the deadline, and the Lakers immediately became better. Since that time, LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been absolutely dominant. Last night, James even dropped 37 as he took over in overtime against the Utah Jazz. The win was huge as it put the Lakers tied for sixth in the Western Conference with the Los Angeles Clippers.

LeBron James Continues To Dominate

Subsequently, LeBron James got to speak at length with reporters following the game. His performance against the Jazz had his teammates feeling celebratory, and they let it be known. In the clip above, you can see LeBron struggle to get his thoughts out as the whole locker room begins to make GOAT noises. The whole clip is hilarious, and you can tell that LeBron appreciates it. However, there is a bit of blushing going on as he is just slightly embarrassed. Either way, it is well deserved when you consider how he has been playing.’

Now, the Lakers will have to play back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Clippers. Overall, this is going to be a lot of fun. If the Lakers can win out these two games, they will secure the sixth seed. Consequently, they will not have to face the play-in, which would be a truly shocking development. Let us know what you think of this Lakers turnaround, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Rapper Woozy The Goat Accused Of Murdering His Grandparents In St. Louis

by

Authorities in St. Louis accused aspiring rapper Woozy The Goat murdering his grandparents after a potential mental breakdown. Moreover, a Friday (March 24) TMZ report indicates that the artist, real name Davionne McRoberts, went to a psych ward in Missouri earlier this week while covered in blood and confessed that he murdered Donald and Kathy McRoberts. Furthermore, police found the couple dead on Tuesday (March 21) and began a search for McRoberts. Not only that, but the report suggests that Woozy had a mental breakdown and shot his grandparents, yet police didn’t determine any other motives.

That being said, McRoberts posted some concerning messages to his Facebook page before the murders. This suggests that either he premeditated the killings or went through some sort of crisis before the incident. “WHO WANNA DIE TODAY? Y’all don’t believe me? Come show me I’m not god,” one message read. Another took an even stranger turn. “Hey I really am god truly everyone I’m trying to help you all but I came to terms y’all got too comfy in hell I’m not trying to take peoples money when I say donate to $WoozyTheGoat I’m trying to show y’all new life.”

St. Louis Rapper Woozy The Goat Accused Of Murdering Grandparents

Meanwhile, this echoes another gruesome story that took place in 2013, when a Chicago rapper put out a hit on his mother. However, that case seemed directly motivated by money. Moreover, a then-23-year-old Young QC, real name Qaw’mane Wilson, hired a hitman to attack his mother. Afterwards, he took all the money in her bank accounts and modified the Mustang that he received as a gift from her. In addition, he posted a YouTube video the same year of him withdrawing $20,000 from a Chase Bank and throwing it out to fans.

Wilson then got hit with a 99-year prison sentence, whereas the shooter Eugene Spencer received 100 years of jail time. According to reports, Wilson “merely nodded” as the judge read his sentence. Disturbingly, the now-33-year-old had some words to say about the incident. “I just want to say, nobody loved my mother more than me,” he reportedly expressed. “She was all I had. That’s it.” For the latest crime stories within the rap game, come back to HNHH.

Jim Jones Says Drake Is The GOAT

by

Jim Jones recently revealed in a new interview with Complex that Drake is his GOAT contender. Moreover, he spoke on how he’s been able to stay incredibly relevant in the game for such a long time. Also, he stressed the importance on numbers, as Drake’s songs seem to always go platinum. Of course, the Dipset legend has plenty of reasons to put the 6 God on this pedestal. Their performance together at the iconic Apollo Theater was a truly special moment for the culture. However, Jones is clearly giving credit where it’s due, because Drake’s been dominant for almost fifteen years.

“I would say he’s the greatest of all time,” the 46-year-old stated. “I would just give that to him. And I mean, there’s a lot of people from the beginning and people that invented hip-hop, I know. But the greatest of all time, it’s a big statement, and the relevancy that he keeps showing year after year, hit after hit, record after record. Any song that he has put out has seemed to go multiple platinum. That’s never happened before in history.

Jim Jones Calls Drake The GOAT

“I mean, there are a few other people that do astronomical numbers like that, but he really in it, you know what I mean?” he continued. “From all angles of music. It ain’t no place you go where they’re not going to play some Drake records to get the party started. He moves around here like the real Bruce Wayne. He’s my spirit animal, man. I just got to give credit where credit is due, and not taking away from nobody else.

“What [Jay-Z] has done to this game is astronomical,” the New York legend conceded. “He’s like Michael Jordan for what he has put on and what he has done since he came in the game and where he’s at right now. But Jay exited music a long time ago. And that space, that void, I don’t know if it’s a void, but Drake has not exited and he’s still going strong to this day and it doesn’t seem like he’s stopping no time soon... But in this day, us highlighting our era really don’t hold no merit in what’s functioning right now… So, we tend to forget a lot of that s**t from back in those days.” Let us know your take in the comments and stick around on HNHH for the latest on Jim Jones and Drake.

50 Cent & DMX Were Bigger Artists Than Jay-Z, According To Big Gipp

by

While Jay-Z holds the crown as the GOAT, according to both fans and Billboard and Vibe’s top 50 rappers list, some feel as though he never really captivated the world in comparison to some of his peers. Big Gipp recently sat down with The Art Of Dialogue where he argued that 50 Cent and DMX were bigger artists than Jay. Though many would deem Jay-Z the King Of New York, Gipp explained that Fif was discredited because he worked with West Coast producers like Dr. Dre.

“When 50 came out, I ain’t hear no JAY-Z music — it just stopped playing,” he said. “I was there When 50 came out, he shut everything down. And the reason why they didn’t give it to 50, you know why? Because the West Coast did his music.” From there, he stated that DMX also had a bigger breakout than Hov off of the strength of his back-to-back 1998 releases of It’s Dark and Hell is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. “To me, DMX was bigger than shawty all day,” he continued. “Shawty put out two albums in one year that smoked anything he put out!”

Big Gipp Thinks Jay-Z’s GOAT Title Stems From Industry Politics

Some suggested that Jay-Z paid Billboard to make him the #1 artist on their rappers list in collaboration with Vibe. Though Gipp didn’t necessarily come to that conclusion, he doesn’t think Jay ever had the type of appeal that his contemporaries had. “Fuck this industry, man, ’cause y’all still want who y’all want to be the best, but the numbers say DMX is the biggest thing walking round here. And when it wasn’t no DMX, it was 50 Cent,” he said. However, he admitted that Jay remains one of the “best technical and baddest rappers” out of New York.

In addition to Jay’s own musical output, Gipp also suggested that Roc-A-Fella didn’t come close to Murda Inc during their reign. He based the argument on numbers, considering the success of Ja Rule and Ashanti compared to Beanie Siegel. In this instance, he felt as though his crossover appeal in other regions weren’t as strong as people make it seem. “Jay-Z ain’t never been on the radio here hella crazy. No!” he said. “He has big records, but all the records that people probably heard in New York, they never heard them records down here. Same goes out West,” he added, citing songs like “Big Pimpin” and his collabs with Beyoncé as his most successful efforts across America. Check the interview above. 

NLE Choppa Literally Gives Lil Wayne His Flowers

by

Billboard recently placed Lil Wayne at #7 in their list of top 50 rappers of all time. However, most would say that the Louisiana rapper deserved to be bumped in the top 5. Wayne certainly stands among the all-time greats in hip-hop. He’s proven exactly why he’s deserving this title time and time again. During Grammy weekend, the Black Music Collective honored the New Orleans rapper with the Global Impact Award for his lifetime achievements, which Drake presented to him via a hilarious pre-recorded message ahead of the award show. 

Weezy basically birthed a whole generation of rappers who came after him. We wouldn’t have artists like Nicki Minaj and Drake if it weren’t for the Young Money era. Meanwhile, Young Thug and Kendrick Lamar undoubtedly took a page or two from Wayne during their career. Ultimately, Wayne deserves all of the flowers for everything he’s accomplished in his career and the barriers he broke down in hip-hop. On top of that, Wayne hasn’t shied away from embracing the new generation of rappers, like NLE Choppa, who he collaborated with recently.

NLE Choppa Gifts Lil Wayne A Bouquet Of Flowers In Valentine’s Day Photo Dump

NLE Choppa and Lil Wayne have new music coming out this week. The two collaborated on “Ain’t Gonna Answer,” which is due out this Friday. Ahead of its release, NLE Choppa shared a behind-the-scenes look of the video shoot, particularly a candid moment where he gave Lil Wayne his flowers and a thank you note for the inspiration. “I simply wanted to physically gift you these flowers to symbolize my appreciation for you as an artist, an icon, and more importantly, an inspiration,” he wrote in the message. 

Lil Wayne appeared caught off guard by the gesture as he genuinely thanked NLE Choppa for giving him flowers. “Be like this guy,” Wayne told the camera after NLE Choppa handed him the bouquet and a skateboard. “He’s a good guy, man, for real. I do this a lot. This doesn’t happen, he’s a great guy.” Choppa added in the letter that he hoped the gesture would help develop a “big bro, lil bro” relationship. It appears that he won Lil Wayne over with the flowers. Check out the video above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. 

Bow Wow & Swae Lee React To Being Left Off ‘Top 50 Greatest Rappers Of All Time” List

by

Another Top 50 Rappers list has sparked conversations, and Bow Wow and Swae Lee are weighing in. The hitmakers may occupy vastly different lanes in Hip Hop, but they are both respected, award-winning artists in their own rights. Billboard and Vibe recently partnered to unveil their picks for the Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time, and unsurprisingly, the choices caused debates among the genre’s enthusiasts. With only 50 picks, not everyone could be included, and Bow and Swae have chimed in about not seeing their names listed.

“I took no offense not making that list,” Bow tweeted. “I always said im not a rapper i am an entertainer.” He added he doesn’t ” like to be box’d in.” When a fan told him he should have been included, Bow simply expressed it was out of his control. Further, he didn’t seem bothered because he agreed with another supporter who remarked he was a legend.

Meanwhile, Swae Lee took a different approach. While in Arizona for the Super Bowl, TMZ caught up with Lee and asked his thoughts on the list. The rapper was unaware he wasn’t on it until the cameraperson told him. “That’s f*ckin’ wrong!” said the Rae Sremmurd star. “I got 20 No. 1s. We changing Rap!” When it was further noted that there weren’t any Rap groups listed, either, Swae doubled down that the list was inaccurate.

Then, he wanted to know if Future and Young Thug were included. It seemed that the list may have been correct if those two made it. When he learned that Jay-Z earned the top spot, Lee hesitated before saying, “That’s cool.” He added, “I feel like, it’s politics,” before declaring people should move away from the “old, traditional Rap scale.”

The top spots on Billboard and Vibe‘s list were also hot topics. Jay-Z took the No. 1 position, followed by (in order) Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Tupac Shakur, and Eminem. Swae isn’t the only person frustrated with the choices, as Ja Rule also complained after seeing he wasn’t listed, either.

Fat Joe Explains Why Jay-Z Deserves No. 1 Rapper Spot

by

The results of Billboard and Vibe‘s Top Rappers list are in, and Jay-Z reigns supreme. The pick for the No. 1 Greatest Rapper of All Time doesn’t come as a surprise for Hip Hop fans; Hov has been hailed as a GOAT for years, and his worldwide impact on the culture and beyond is unmatched. From music to management to prison reform to politics to sport—Jay-Z and his team remain at the forefront of conversations far beyond entertainment.

However, as these Top lists often do, naming Jay as the No. 1 rapper ever has ruffled a few feathers. Fans want to see their favorites edge into those top spots—if not simply make the list—while others took to social media to call Hov overrated. Regardless of anyone’s take, Fat Joe jumped into the discussion to explain why he believes Shawn Carter deserves the accolades he receives.

In a video, Fat Joe said he agreed with Vibe and Billboard’s placement. He claimed it wasn’t political but detailed how he came to his conclusion. “Historically, there were certain rappers that were the gods at the time. Who had flows like nobody else. But when they got older in age, it almost sounded” outdated, said Joe. “It don’t sound current with 2023. Jay-Z just dropped ‘God Did’ where he spit for eight minute straight! And not ’cause he’s the richest. It’s just, I agree with it.”

He added that as rappers age, many of them struggle to maintain cultural relevancy. As Fat Joe puts it, “they fell off as they got older.” At the Grammys, Jay joined DJ Khaled, John Legend, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Fridayy for an epic performance of “God Did.” Sadly, the acclaimed track didn’t earn any Grammys despite several nominations. Still, fans took it as a win for Hip Hop overall, especially considering the 50th Anniversary tribute performance that saw our favorite pioneers come together.

Additionally, Nicki Minaj made Billboard and Vibe‘s Top 10 list. She earned herself the title of the No. 1 woman in Rap above her peers, solidifying for her Barbs that she, too, deserves her flowers. Check out Fat Joe’s hot take above.

LeBron James Believes He Is The GOAT

by

LeBron is just a game or two away from breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record. Of course, this is a massive accomplishment, for numerous reasons. Overall, people felt like this was a record that would never be broken. However, James is just 36 points away from doing so. He could do it tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder, although most believe it will be done on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. No matter what, it is going to be a truly one-of-a-kind accomplishment.

Subsequently, there are now all sorts of debates as to whether or not James can be considered as the GOAT of basketball. After all, he has won four NBA titles, is fourth in all-time assists, ninth in three-pointers made and will have the scoring title. Overall, one would assume this is enough to make you the GOAT. Although, most analysts and fans still believe that the crown goes to Michael Jordan. Ultimately, Jordan played fewer seasons and had a much better career scoring average. No matter what, it is very clear to everyone that these two are some of the best to ever do it.

LeBron Gives Himself Props

As for LeBron himself, it is clear that he thinks highly of what he has done. Since entering the league back in 2003, LeBron had made it clear that he wanted to be the best ever. According to Kyle Goon of the Orange County Register, he has achieved that status. One might find it strange to pronounce yourself the GOAT. However, LeBron has certainly earned the right to do it. “What I bring to the table as a basketball player…I feel like I’m the best basketball player that ever played the game,” LeBron said.

Of course, there are going to be a lot of people out there who straight-up disagree with his assessment of himself. Regardless, every player should believe they are the best ever. That mentality has ultimately gotten James to where he is now. Consequently, he is staring at the scoring record straight in the face. Hopefully, he can get it done this week so that we can see just how incredible the reactions will be. No matter what, it is well deserved.
