The Game Praises Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” Argues She Beat Megan Thee Stallion In Their Beef

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Game is picking Nicki Minaj over Megan Thee Stallion following their recent exchange of diss tracks. Speaking about the beef during an interview with VladTV, Game argued that “Big Foot” was a better song than “Hiss.”

He began: “I like ‘Big Foot.’ You know what? I like when she said, ‘Get on the good foot.’ I thought that was like a good punchline.” On the song, Nicki raps: “Bad b*tch, she like 6 foot, I call her Bigfoot/The b*tch fell off, I said ‘Get up on your good foot’” From there, Vlad brought up Tory Lanez shooting Megan, to which Game responded: “Exactly, or did she? Or did she not? I don’t know. I mean, I wasn’t there and neither were you.” After Vlad reminded Game about “Hiss,” the rapper added: “The thing about Megan’s Law is, didn’t that offend somebody or something?… In rap beefs, if you can keep it about the person, it kind of gives you an edge so I gotta give that one to Nicki.”

Megan kicked off the feud with Nicki by seemingly calling out her husband, Kenneth Petty, on the song, “Hiss.” In doing so, she made reference to him being a registered sex offender. “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan/These hoes mad at Megan’s Law”, she rapped. Nicki fired back on social media with several rants before dropping “Big Foot.” Check out The Game’s full comments on the feud below.

Teams Await Bracket Reveal For March Madness

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With a 68-60 win over Stony Brook, Drexel became the final women’s basketball team to secure an automatic berth to this year’s March Madness. It ends a semi-chaotic Championship Fortnight that saw a handful of major upsets. However, Portland was the only major “bid-stealer” in their upset of Gonzaga. Despite this, the 32 automatic berths include two first-time dancers and a handful of teams ending lengthy droughts. This includes Eastern Washington, who appear in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1987. Later today, 36 teams will join the 32 conference champions.

Furthermore, the bracket reveal will answer several pressing questions. For example – who takes the final two No. 1 seeds? South Carolina and Iowa are locked in, which leaves USC, Stanford, and Texas all vying for the last two spots on the top line. ESPN currently favors the two Pac-12 schools despite Texas’ Big 12 title. Another question will surround which bubble teams make it and which miss the tournament. Will Columbia finally make March Madness before Abbey Hsu graduates? Or did losing to Princeton in the Ivy League title game seal their fate?

Oklahoma Could Miss Out On March Madness Hosting Duties Due To Scheduling Conflict

Meanwhile, an interesting situation surrounds Oklahoma. Oklahoma could be named as one of the top-16 seeds in the tournament, which would typically come with the right to host first- and second-round games. However, a scheduling conflict could mean that Oklahoma may miss out on that opportunity. The Big 12 gymnastics tournament is scheduled to be hosted at Oklahoma’s basketball arena on the same weekend as the opening rounds of March Madness.

ESPN currently has the Sooners as a five-seed in a quadrant hosted by Colorado in Boulder. However, the Sooners’ regular season title plus Gonzaga’s shock loss in the WCC title game could see Oklahoma move up to a four-seed. Due to rules about when teams from the same conference can play each other, that would see Oklahoma and Kansas State, the current five-seed in Gonzaga’s quadrant, swap places. However, due to Oklahoma’s scheduling conflict, Gonzaga would still have the option to host the games in Spokane.

While we’re still only a few months into 2024, it’s already been a busy year for Dom Corleo. At the end of January, the hitmaker unleashed his single “Bite,” which arrived alongside an eery accompanying music video. The fan-favorite was soon followed by “Devote,” as well as a similarly surreal visual. Now, he’s returned with yet another new track, “TBT.”

“TBT” also arrives alongside a simple, trippy visual that sees the MC roam around what appears to be an abandoned building, desolate parking lots, and more. In the song, Corleo raps about his journey to success, and how his life has changed since finding it. He reflects on his life before making a living off of his music, and taking full advantage of his new lifestyle.

Dom Corleo Comes Through With More New Music

So far, fans appear to be enjoying Dom Corleo’s latest release, and it’s managed to get them excited to hear more. They’re currently flooding his YouTube comments section with praise, as well as demands for a new full-length album. While it remains unclear whether or not Corleo has a new LP in the works, he has dropped a few singles over the past few weeks, which could mean he’s working toward a bigger release.

What do you think of Dom Corleo’s new song? Will you be adding “TBT” to your playlist or not? Are you looking forward to hearing more new music from the performer? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quotable Lyrics:

Now I been ‘cross the world, seen all the faces
Draco boot, Balenciaga laces
And I still rock thе Asics
Walk in the club, first-name basis
I ain’t good with being patiеnt
My driver drive the escort, patience
I ain’t cool with being basic
Got Goyard bags just to look famous
Just so they know what my name is
They throw the money, I’ma take it

Travis Kelce Praised For Film Investment

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce has been praised for his investment in, and executive producer role on, an upcoming dark comedy called My Dead Friend Zoe. “He wanted to support veterans. That’s what I heard — he wanted to support veterans and someone pointed him to our film. It’s all about the ‘why’ and I feel like if anybody has the right ‘why,’ they’ll succeed,” gushed the film’s lead, Sonequa Martin-Green. The film follows an army vet who struggles to reacclimatize to civilian life due to the lingering ghost of her deceased squadmate.

However, it’s not the only business venture Kelce is working on. This week, it was announced that Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are teaming up off the field to open a steakhouse. 1587 Prime will be located in the downtown Loews Hotel in Kansas City and is expected to open next year. “Travis and I have become frequent visitors of Noble 33 restaurants in other cities so it only made sense to bring something special to our own community in Kansas City,” Mahomes said of the venture. Mahomes and Kelce have been a formidable on-field pair for nearly a decade now.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce “Nesting” After Whirlwind Start To 2024

Elsewhere, Taylor Swift and Kelce have entered their “nesting” era, according to sources who spoke with Us Weekly. “They’re focused on rest and recuperation and relaxing at home and having low-key and chill time together. They are enjoying movie nights in her home theater, catching up on films and shows they’ve missed,” the source said. Furthermore, the couple is “scheduling their various projects” going forward in order to “see as much of each other as possible.” Kelce, who has attended shows in both Sydney and Singapore, is expected to do some traveling with Swift in Europe.

However, the couple deserves a break after a hectic start to the year. Swift started the second leg of her Eras Tour, performing in Japan, Australia, and Singapore. She’s due back on the road in May to tour Europe alongside Paramore. Meanwhile, Kelce picked up his third Super Bowl ring in one of the most entertaining modern Super Bowls. However, with some downtime, the couple now has a chance for some quality time away from the spotlight.

BLP KOSHER Is As Menacing As He Is Mischievous On New Single “Skidoo”: Stream

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to fast and hard-hitting beats paired with funny and rewind-worthy bars, very few are doing it quite like BLP KOSHER right now. He’s made a great name for himself as a clever and creative lyricist who pairs his cheeky references and sense of humor with a gritty and grounded approach to trap music. The 23-year-old’s most recent effort, “Kold Shoulder” with Lil Crix, came out just last week, and he’s clearly not slowing down at all with his prolific schedule. Moreover, he’s back with “Skidoo,” another banger with a rapid percussion pattern, simple low piano melodies paired with high-note embellishments, and occasionally shifting flows to match his rhymes. It’s definitely a tried and true formula at this point, but this is such a comparatively young career that it’s still fresh and engaging.

Of course, if this is the first time you’ve heard of BLP KOSHER, you’ll quickly get an idea of why that formula got so popular and acclaimed. For example, the “Virgin Ears” rapper is very proud of his Jewish heritage, and his references to that identity make up some of the wittier and more triumphant lyrics here. Another element to his pen is the wordplay itself, which goes beyond the reference points to perk up the ear of any listener interested in language and puns. But it’s clear that the Florida native wants to take his sound to other worlds, too, as he collaborated with Yung Lean on the track “Violent Lullaby.”

BLP KOSHER’s “Skidoo”: Stream & Watch The Music Video

As such, “Skidoo” is an example of him playing to his strengths, and coming back to Earth before venturing off into the unknown again. We’ll see what BLP KOSHER offers fans as a full-length follow-up to Bars Mitzvah in the near future. With this new track in mind, fans should be pretty excited. If you haven’t heard this new single yet, find it on your preferred streaming service and check out the music video above. Find standout bars down below, let us know what you think of it in the comments, and as always, stick around on HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

Quotable Lyrics
If it’s smoke, I’m bringing hickory, throw it off the dock,
Chopper came with double Ds, I’m trying to motorboat the opps,
Them jits a** and they smoking flakk,
I’m stepping in my bag and I ain’t selling out, check the Birkenstock

Halle & Don Toliver Tune Our Moods On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our new R&B Season playlist update is here to round up the best of the best releases in the genre of the week, and we have a lot of variety and quality to wade through. Guiding us through that is the new single from Halle, “In Your Hands,” which is a perseverant, passionate, and dramatic record. With subtle but soothing guitar playing, a dynamic vocal performance, and well-measured swells, this is probably one of the more inspirational or grand cuts you’ll hear this week. On the more wavy and chill tip, we have a brand-new song from Don Toliver, “Deep in the Water,” which is rhythmically very creative in its fusions and is paired with some chilling but charming synth patches.

As far as trademark contemporary R&B, though, few tracks will put you in that zone this week quite like PARTYNEXTDOOR’s new single “R e a l W o m a n.” P4 can’t come soon enough for fans, because this is exactly the type of sultry, low-tempo, and entrancing track that they’ve been waiting for years for. Along a similar vein, mixing soulful sensibilities with trap instrumentation, we have SZA and Cardi B’s remix of Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me.” There’s great chemistry between all these female forces on this light and relaxing beat, and the melody will drill itself into your head with ease.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Meanwhile, we also have a big album to cover this week in Justin Timberlake’s Everything I Thought It Was. As a pop record, it plays with a lot of sounds and styles, but the melodies and dancehall inspirations on “Liar” with Fireboy DML are a fitting inclusion here. If you want more modern R&B, then check out PARIS.’s new track “BNB,” a straight-up trap beat with dexterous vocal melodies on top. It won’t be the most original cut you’ll hear on this update, but the charisma and cheeky lyrical matter will get you into the song’s vibe.

Finally, our favorite release of the week has to go to Baby Rose and BADBADNOTGOOD’s absolutely gorgeous single “One Last Dance.” Rose’s voice is deep, delicate, but so wondrous and emotive, whereas the combination of organ, light drums, woodwinds, guitar plucks, and more on here create something truly enchanting. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season release was this week, as well as what we missed. Check out the playlist above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.
