With all the reports of in-fighting, Tory Lanez is shooting his shot for a spot on The Joe Budden Podcast—jokingly, of course. We’ve recently reported that co-hosts Rory Farrell and Jamil “Mal” Clay were noticeably absent from a few episodes, and Budden addressed the controversy by saying the group of friends was dealing with personal issues.
Later Budden shared that he approached Rory with the opportunity to go to therapy, and it has been suggested that he accepted the invitation. As Budden and Co. get their longstanding friendships back on track, Tory Lanez hopped on Budden’s Instagram Live session with an offer of his own.
“Tory Lanez, no get out of here,” Budden quipped when he saw the singer-rapper in his comments. Then he said with a laugh, “See look, even if I say your name, the blogs are gonna attack me now.” He seemed to read Tory’s next message. “You wanna come sit in Mal’s seat. What kind of friend would I be? [laughs] That would be funny though, but…nah, it wouldn’t be funny [laughs].”
Undeniably, Lanez would turn things up but we’re not sure Mal is completely ready to let someone else move into his spot. Check out the clip below and read Drake’s recent funny take on his “beef” with Rory.
Following the revelation of the Derek Chauvin verdict, President Joe Biden was on the phone with George Floyd’s family. President Biden has been vocal about this case, and like the rest of America, along with a global audience, has awaited the results. Chauvin has been convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, and now, America’s president has addressed the country.
“I can’t breathe. Those were George Floyd’s last words,” said Biden. “We can’t let those words die with him. We have to keep hearing those words. We must not turn away. We can’t turn away.”
“This can be a moment of significant change,” he added. “Nothing can ever bring their brother, their father back, but this can be a giant step forward in the march towards justice in America,” Biden said. “For so many people it seems like it took a unique and extraordinary convergence of factors. A brave young woman with a smartphone camera. A crowd that was traumatized.”
“Black men, in particular, have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human. Their lives must be valued in…our nation. Full stop,” the president stated. While speaking with Floyd’s family, Biden can be heard on the phone telling them, “We were watching every second of this… We’re all so relieved.”
Check out video clips of Biden’s speech and his conversation with the Floyd family below.
The West Coast is thriving right now. The current wave of artists emerging from California has been putting on for Los Angeles and beyond in their own way as they usher in a new era of hip-hop. However, many of them aren’t just up-and-comers who had one hot single. It’s a slew of legends who’ve played a role in propping up the underground scene and helping put a spotlight on it.
Pacman Da Gunman is known for his affiliation to Nipsey Hussle but his latest releases have proved that he stands on his own two.

Cuban links presidential, talkin’ all summer
Bought a buildin’, and the business payin’ all the renters
Cold ace get drunk in my new space
Bought a chopper in a may’ for the new place
There are a fair number of siblings active in the music industry today: Chance The Rapper and Taylor Bennet; D Smoke and SiR; Chloe x Halle; VanJess. Then there’s Young Thug and his brother Unfoonk, who joined forces for the track “Real,” off the former’s newly released album Slime Language 2. The song has become one of the fan favorites off the project. And now there’s a music video, which begins with Unfoonk being released from jail and returning home, where he gets back to recording music. Thug eventually joins him for a makeshift studio session, kicking off what turns out to be a nice display of brotherly love.
The video for “Real” is the second that’s been released since Slime Language 2 arrived last Friday. The first was the one for “Ski,” in which Thug and Gunna threw a lavish pool party, with appearances from Swae Lee, Nav, Seattle Seahawks’ wide-receiver DK Metcalf, and fellow YSL members T-Shyne, Strick, and Lil Duke.
If you’re looking forward to hearing more from Young Thug, you can catch him on Cordae’s upcoming Just Until… EP which drops on Wednesday.
You can watch the “Real” video above.
Slime Language 2 is out now via YSL Records/300 Entertainment. Get it here.

Chicago duo Mother Nature has been putting in work over the years but 2020’s PORTALZ put a lot more eyes on them. Klevah and Truth’s penmanship and ear for production have made them a stand-out group within their region and outside of it. The buzz keeps on increasing with every single release, and rightfully so.
This week, Mother Nature unveiled their latest body of work, SZNZ. The 15 track EP was entirely produced by Boathouse. On the features side, Mother Nature enlists a slew of Chicago natives to bring their project to life. Valee, Sir Michael Rocks, Brittney Carter, Dave Coresh, Murph Watkins, Freddie Old Soul, and many more contribute to the tracklist.
Be sure to check out the latest project from Mother Nature. Sound off in the comments with your favorite song.
It’s always refreshing to download a new mixtape where an MC would simply tackle popular production to prove just how sharp their pen is. It was a common practice throughout the mixtape era but since it’s hard to monetize off of those projects, it seems to be less frequent than many would hope.
Pap Chanel, however, returned this week with her latest project, Welcome To Pap World where she rips through some of the hottest hip-hop production of all time. Chanel flexes her lyrical muscle and versatile flow over more recent hit records like Offset and Cardi B’s “Clout,” Clipse’s “Grindin’,” and more.
Pap’s proven that she could dominate the clubs with singles like “Gucci Bucket Hat” but Welcome To Pap World might be what wins over the bar-heavy enthusiasts.

4/20 might even mean more these days with cannabis becoming more and more widely accepted across America. Slowly, more states are legalizing the plant or, at the very least, making it more accessible for medical patients who rely on cannabis as medicine. That being said, 4/20 is still a day to celebrate the achievements made in cannabis culture and how far things have progressed in recent years.
Today remains a day when artists emerge with new music to smoke to. PeeWee Longway delivered his latest single this morning, aptly titled, “Let’s Get High.” The rapper tackles a smooth beat with the 808 drums kicking as he goes into detail about his love for the cannabis plant.
Check out the latest record from PeeWee Longway and make sure you check out, “The Story Of OG Kush: How Wonderbrett’s Grow Fuelled Dr. Dre’s “2001” Sessions & Beyond.”
Quotable Lyrics
This shit so good, when I buy my pound
I just might smoke one right now
I smoke like Wiz, I smoke like Snoop
We got stronger pounds
Social media is flooded with nips, tucks, and filtered photos, but Lizzo wanted to show herself in her most natural form. The “Truth Hurts” singer has continuously been vocal in the body acceptance and body positivity movements, and Lizzo hasn’t been she about showing off her curves. She hasn’t adhered to the societal standards of weight and beauty, and she’s partnered with Dove for a new campaign that takes aim at self-esteem issues generated by social media.
On Instagram, Lizzo stripped down to nothing and shared an unedited, unfiltered photo of herself. “WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON,” she wrote in the caption.
“To celebrate I wanna give y’all this unedited selfie,” Lizzo continued. “Now normally I would fix my belly and smooth my skin but baby I wanted show u how I do it au natural — I am excited to be partnering with @dove and the #DoveSelfEsteemProject which is helping to reverse the negative effects of social media and changing the conversation about beauty standards. Let’s get real y’all.”
The singer received an outpouring of support from fans and her fellow entertainers, including her good friend, SZA. “It’s you having no blemishes at ALL lol,” the TDE star commented. “Sigh I jus admire u Fren[sad tear emoji] I wanna drop the FaceTime pics.” We want those FaceTime pics, too. Check out Lizzo’s photo below.
Reactions to the results of Derek Chauvin’s murder trial have been a mixed bag. Political lines have long been drawn in the sand as it pertains to Chauvin murdering George Floyd on camera last year, and we’ve read through several articles and posts about who’s-at-fault-for-what. On Tuesday (April 20), Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, and immediately commentators from varying industries took to social media to share their thoughts.
Tomi Lahren has been a leading voice in the far-right political movement as a host of Fox Nation and few were surprised with her response to learning that the Chauvin trial jury reach a verdict. “You got your justice so I’d assume there will be peace in Minneapolis tonight? No rioting? No looting? No harassing officers?”
She continued, “Is the Foot Locker safe tonight? Should be, right? Justice, right? No need to steal in the name of George Floyd anymore, right?” Some criticized Lahren, calling her reaction insensitive. “What happened to George Floyd at the hands of Chauvin was WRONG but there is still NO evidence it had anything to do with race!”
“Chauvin was found guilty on all counts in under a day. Any violence/rioting/looting that happens tonight can’t be blamed on a racist justice system!” Read through her tweets, as well as a few reactions, below.
