Travis Scott’s “DAYS BEFORE RODEO” Sees Historic Drop-Off In Second Week On The Charts

by

Travis Scott had fans in a chokehold at the end of August thanks to the reissuing of DAYS BEFORE RODEO. Fans have wanted the 2014 mixtape on streaming for years and they finally got their wish on August 23, five days after its 10-year anniversary. Outside of just streaming the project, his followers also came through in the sales department in its first week. It would go on to have the biggest debut for any hip-hop record this year, moving 361,000 copies. Furthermore, there was some real belief that it would go onto reach the top spot on the charts and outperform one of pop’s biggest acts.

Sabrina Carpenter’s highly anticipated Short n’ Sweet would barely squeeze past the decade-old tape by 1,000 units, but unfairly in the eyes of his fans and the Cactus Jack label. In fact, both sources claim that there was a miscount; however, there was a complicated mix-up, which you can read about here. Regardless of the slightly disappointing final results, the rerelease was a major success in a lot of ways. However, the same cannot be said this week for Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO.

This Isn’t A Good Look For Travis Scott After The Sales Debacle

According to HipHopDX and chart data, DBR has endured the “biggest percent decline for an album remaining on the Billboard 200 this decade”. Sales are down 94.7% which is of course not good, but also plain surprising. Because of this, the project has plummeted to 30 on the Billboard Hot 200. It makes it even worse when you compare it to the performance of Sabrina’s album in week two. It stayed at number one this time through with 156,000 album equivalent units. Nicki Minaj has to be cackling right about now.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO suffering a historic drop-off in its second week? Is this a bad look after the sales dispute with Billboard, why or why not? Do you think that this had anything to do with this massive decrease in sales? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Rumors have been circulating since Showtime’s release of The Supreme Team series last year, which was narrated by Nas, that Gerald “Prince” Miller, one of the leaders of 80s Queens drug ring known as the Supreme Team(not to be confused with the pioneer rap group The World Famous Supreme Team), would be released sometime in the near future. Now, according to several reliable sources, that day has come.

According to Instagrm page @meccapolis, the lieutenant and nephew to notorious drug kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff is scheduled to be released today(September 11) from USP Big Sandy in Kentucky. TheSource.com has also obtained a text message between Miller’s wife and brother confirming his release this week.

For those who don’t know, Prince was one of the people name dropped in 50 Cent’s infamous 2002 hit “Ghetto Qur’an(Forgive Me)” in the first bars of the first verse where he rapped, “Yo, when you hear talk of the Southside, you hear talk of the Team/ See niggas feared Prince and respected ‘Preme/ For all you slow motherfuckers, I’ma break it down iller/ See Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer..”

It is also well known that the auto-bio story told by Fif in the silver screen classic Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was based on the conflict between him and Prince’s uncle Supreme, who is a known associate of Irv Gotti and the Murder Inc. organization.

Miller has served 32 years in a federal prison for his role in the drug organization that was rumored to have netted up to $200,000 a day. Miller was originally sentenced to life without parole in 1992, but word on the street is that a new bill was passed into law in recent weeks that allows any federal inmate over 55 years of age that has been convicted of a non-violent crime is now eligible for parole.

Ben Stiller’s Favorite Kendrick Lamar Song Is A Drake Diss

by

Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar announced that he’ll be headlining the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. The performance will take place in February of this year in New Orleans, and the announcement has earned mixed reactions from social media users. While many are excited to see Kendrick take the stage, others believe that the slot should have gone to hometown icon Lil Wayne.

As a result, Jay-Z and Roc Nation have been receiving a great deal of backlash. Regardless, at least one person is looking forward to the show, Ben Stiller. The actor hopped on Twitter/X earlier this week to share his reaction to the news. “Yes,” he wrote simply, making it clear that he approves.

Ben Stiller Says His Favorite Kendrick Lamar Song Is “Euphoria”

Of course, Stiller’s brief reaction prompted fans to ask him some follow-up questions, including what his favorite Kendrick song is. According to him, it’s “Euphoria,” Kendrick’s iconic response to Drake’s “Push Ups.” It’s certainly a fan favorite out of Kendrick’s Drake disses and appears to prove that Stiller sided with Kendrick amid the lyrical battle.

While Stiller may be overjoyed about Kendrick’s upcoming performance, others continue to express outrage that Lil Wayne wasn’t picked. There may be more to the story than what meets the eye, however. During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden claimed that he had some serious tea about the decision. “I’m hearing that there was an event where something happened backstage,” he hinted before saying the tea was simply “too hot” to spill. What do you think of Ben Stiller revealing that his favorite Kendrick Lamar song is his Drake diss “Euphoria”? Are you surprised by this or not? What’s your personal favorite?

Future Reveals Release Date For “Mixtape Pluto”

by

In the beginning of May, Future was riling fans up with two simple tweets. “MIXTAPE PLUTO” and “MAY TENTH 🤧” sent everyone into a frenzy that Wednesday. However, the internet was severely disappointed to learn he was referring to a Tee Grizzley feature that would go on to drop that Friday. However, there was also some truth to that first tweet. Since then, Future HNDRXX has been relentlessly teasing the release of Mixtape Pluto with several snippets. Of course, this started going down just a month after the trap specialist put out his two sister tapes with Metro Boomin, WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU back in March and April, respectively.

Now, with him officially announcing the mixtape today, we can finally say it’s 2015 all over again. That year, Future dropped four projects which were Beast Mode, 56 Nights, DS2, and What A Time To Be Alive. Even though we won’t be getting a quartet of LPs, a trio is nothing to sneeze at. According to a recent press release, as well as the MC’s social media, we will be able to hear Mixtape Pluto next Friday, September 20.

A post shared by Future PLUTO Hendrix (@future)

At this moment in time, producers, features, or the tracklist are not yet confirmed. However, we do have concrete information regarding the cover and some website details to share in the meantime. The artwork features an ominous vibe thanks to its dark color palette and a house that looks abandoned. It’s presumably a trap house that may be taken over by Future based on the pink lights shining through the windows. There’s also an alternate cover with green coloration. As for his website, there’s already shirts, CDs, vinyls, and bundles with tank tops available for pre-order. Given how many bangers he’s put out this year, we hope he will be able to bring that magic to this throwback-like tape.

What are your thoughts on Future announcing the release date and subsequent information about Mixtape Pluto? Do you think this will be his best project of the year, why or why not? Is mixtape Future you favorite version of the Atlanta rapper? Who do you want to see producing and featuring on the project? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Future. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Sharpe hasn’t shied away from discussing his love life over the years. Back in 2023, he told Chad Johnson why he’s never gotten married during an episode of his Club Shay Shay podcast. “I would have loved to have gotten married earlier in my career, but my career was the most important. So I was no good. I was a terrible father,” he admitted at the time, as noted by Page Six. “I probably was a terrible brother, terrible son, I definitely was a terrible boyfriend because football was the most important thing, I was consumed with that because I wanted to get my grandmother and my family out of the conditions that I grew up in.”

Check out more of the reactions to Sharpe’s latest mishap on Instagram below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Shannon Sharpe on HotNewHipHop.

Jonathan Majors Turns To Selling $140 Autographs After Assault Conviction

by

Jonathan Majors has taken some serious career losses lately, and to make up for it, it looks like he’s come up with a new business venture. According to TMZ, the former Marvel actor is attending his first-ever convention later this month. The con in question is the Famous Monsters Fest in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, which is scheduled for next week (September 15).

Reportedly, Majors will be also selling autographs at the convention for $140 each, or a whopping $160 for autographed headshots. Other stars like Lord Of The Rings’ Andy Serkis, Star Trek‘s George Takei, Halloween’s Tyler Mane, and more are also expected to attend.

The news arrives just a few months after Majors was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Marvel cut ties with him as a result. He was previously expected to reprise his role of Kang in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. The film appears to have been scrapped for the time being in favor of Avengers: Doomsday, starring Robert Downey Jr. Reports of Majors’ new autograph endeavor also surface amid rumors that he’s struggling financially after his conviction.

A source also told The Jasmine Brand this month that his girlfriend Meagan Good has been providing for him, covering his child support, and more. “Meagan pays for everything,” they alleged. “They really wanted this dog, and she got stuck paying the $75,000 training bill. Like, that’s cr*zy! No one knows what Meagan sees in this guy. If things keep up this way, she may not be able to pay her mortgage.” What do you think of Jonathan Majors selling autographs for $140? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

LL Cool J And Eminem Pay Tribute And Re-Create Iconic Hip-Hop Moments In Their New ‘Murdergram Deux’ Video

by

LL Cool J just dropped his latest album, The FORCE, last week, and the headlining song has been his Eminem collaboration “Murdergram Deux” (which was also co-produced by Q-Tip, to further add to the hip-hop credibility). Now Em and LL have gone ahead and given the song a new video.

The clip notably serves as a tribute to some of the hip-hop that preceded present day: As Complexnotes, the visual features re-creations of LL’s cover for his 1987 album Bigger And Deffer, the art for Big Daddy Kane’s 1988 project Long Live The Kane, and Death Row Records’ 1996 cover of Vibe.

The song sees Em engaged in some of his classic wordplay. For LL’s first new album in over a decade, Eminem busted out lines like, “What? A supa-dupa switch / I can’t understand a single word you’re saying / I think you have syrup brain, ’bout to finish you like polyurethane / All that molly probably sure to drain your spinal fluid from your vertebrae / This the Murdergram and I brought my murder game / My sh*t fire, that is why you log on it like Duraflame.”

Watch the “Murdergram Deux” video above.

The FORCE is out now via Def Jam. Find more information here.
