The Boy has done it again. Drake has aligned with rising star 4Batz to drop a remix of “Act II: Date @ 8.”
In case you need some info on 4Batz. The Dallas native dropped the original single toward the end of 2023, immediately rocketing up charts, taking over social media, and more.
The successful run caught Drake’s attention, and he teased a remix on his Instagram story, taking 4Batz and OVO 40.
The drop is officially here. If you ask this writer, it brings back the energy Drake delivered to Summer Walker’s “Girls Need Love,” both in song completion and fan response.
Cardi B fans are hotly anticipating her next single after she offered a preview on TikTok of the hard-hitting track which is expected to land next Friday.
Chrisean Rock is someone who has never shied away from giving fans updates on her personal life. Even when things are going relatively poorly, Chrisean will hop on Live and talk to those who want to hear from her. Overall, this has proven to be a gift and a curse. However, she still has an audience, so that is certainly something to celebrate on her end. Well, on Friday morning, her fans tuned into her Live and were told a truly harrowing story about what went down in her driveway at 5 AM.
The story involves Bluface’s father, who lives with Rock right now. He went outside to get to his car as he needed to get to work. However, he couldn’t do such a thing because his tires had been slashed. Furthermore, there were two men waiting for him, with their guns drawn. They were trying to get inside of the home so they could rob it. As Blueface’s father explained, the two men ended up fleeing the scene. They did so after coming to the conclusion that Blueface’s dad didn’t have anything valuable on him.
Chrisean Rock continued her story by warning others about going to people’s homes and trying to rob them. As she explained, she now has armed security outside of her house. She has a baby to take care of, and she doesn’t want any intruders putting their safety at risk. Overall, it is an understandable position to have. No one wants to have their property stolen and they certainly don’t want to deal with the trauma of a break-in. Hopefully, Chrisean is able to get her security to a place where she feels comfortable, moving forward.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign promised fans three distinct versions of Vultures. The first version came out last month, and overall, it was well-received by Ye’s biggest fans. However, from a critical standpoint, it got a ton of mixed reviews. Some found it to be focused and persistent, while others believed to be an undercooked mix. Well, on Friday, Ye was supposed to deliver Vultures 2. Throughout the week, there were very few updates on the album, and fans predicted that he would not release it.
On Friday, those predictions ultimately came true. At midnight, fans rushed to Spotify and Apple Music to see if the album had made its way to streaming services. Of course, it hadn’t. This led to a ton of reactions on social media, with many lamenting their own stupidity for trusting Ye with dropping an album on time. However, according to NFR Podcast, Ye is aware of the disappointment. In fact, he tried to soften the blow by saying he and and Ty Dolla Sign are currently “in the lab.”
This means the album is in the midst of being worked on. However, it remains to be seen what that means for the actual release date. It could come out next week in time for his Rolling Loud performance. Or, it could very well take another few weeks to a month. At this point, no one really knows. Ye changes his mind on a dime, and that is something that has remained consistent throughout his entire career. With Vultures 3 slotted for an April 5th release, you can expect a delay to that project, as well.

The ongoing debate about Eminem’s place in Hip-Hop history has sparked a fiery exchange between MC Shan and Dr. Umar Johnson, with the legendary MC defending the Detroit rapper against accusations of cultural appropriation.
In an interview with Panda Chop News, MC Shan minced no words as he rejected the notion that Eminem, widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, is a culture vulture. Refusing to entertain any suggestion otherwise, MC Shan passionately defended Eminem’s authenticity within the Hip-Hop community.
“Eminem was in trenches,” MC Shan declared when questioned about the culture vulture label. “F### that! Ain’t nothing else to say about this question. That m########### was in the trenches.”
This defense comes in response to Dr. Umar Johnson’s controversial statement that including Eminem in discussions of the greatest of all time (GOAT) in Hip-Hop constitutes “white supremacy.” However, MC Shan vehemently opposes this viewpoint, pointing to Eminem’s genuine connection to the culture and his respect for Hip-Hop’s roots.
MC Shan’s support for Eminem is further underscored by the rapper’s recent gesture of appreciation. Last December, Eminem shared a photo on social media showcasing three MC Shan cassette tapes he owned, a tribute that resonated deeply with the Hip-Hop pioneer.
“Eminem has three of my m############ [cassettes],” MC Shan exclaimed. “He ain’t just have one. How many people of my m############ culture came back and said, ‘I’ve got this to match Eminem?’ F### y’all n##### talking about? There is no separation or divide, period.”
Continuing his impassioned defense, MC Shan directed his ire towards Dr. Umar Johnson, dismissing the academic’s stance as disconnected from reality. He challenged Dr. Umar’s assertion that Eminem’s race should determine his status in Hip-Hop, emphasizing the importance of authenticity over arbitrary categorization based on skin color.
“And that’s that Dr. Umar m############ message that you don’t deal with reality,” MC Shan declared. “You just look at the color. If I looked at the color, I’d say, ‘F### Eminem. He’s got three tapes, so the f### what? He’s white.’ But no, that’s a Dr. Umar thing … Dr. Umar, I don’t deal on psychological f###### aspect 101. You gotta come up here somewhere. Although I don’t have a doctorate, so what? You tried to make me feel bad. F### you!”
In his fervent defense of Eminem, MC Shan not only challenges the divisive rhetoric surrounding the rapper’s legacy but also underscores the broader importance of recognizing talent and authenticity within the Hip-Hop community, regardless of race. As the debate continues, MC Shan’s impassioned words serve as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of Eminem’s contributions to Hip-Hop culture.
Kanye West hoped to take his Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign on the road. Unfortunately for him, Live Nation and AEG won’t assist.
According to Hits Daily Double, insiders state neither touring company will move forward with requests on a Ye tour that is being pitched by his agent Cara Lewis. The decision comes despite Ye moving over 10,000 tickets for his events, like the one in Chicago.
It is noted that Chicago companies Jam Productions and SPKRBX collaborated on the United Center booking days before the release.
Ye and Ty Dolla $ign are being sued by the Donna Summer estate for using the icon’s “I Feel Love” in the creation of “Good (Don’t Die).”
The suit is led by Summer’s husband, Bruce Sandano, stating the interpolation was not approved due to Ye’s “controversial history.”
Ye submitted a request for clearance, but it was denied on Feb. 3, 2024, in both written and phone communications. The song was submitted for clearance at Universal Music Enterprises as an alternative but was once again denied.
The estate is now seeking damages of $150,000 for each infringement.
Earlier this week, after Adidas announced a new stock drop of Yeezy sneakers at the end of the month, Kanye hit the net with a message stating he was sued.
“Not only are they putting out fake colorways that are not approved, they are suing me for $250 million,” Ye said. “And they also not paying me for these shoes they are putting out that has my name on it.
“They are using contract clauses and 50 years of business experience to rape an artist – one of y’all favorite artists – right in front of y’all in broad daylight.”
