NLE Choppa Throws It Back At A Nostalgic Pool Party In His ‘It’s Getting Hot’ Video

by

NLE Choppa has the summer on lock. With his bouncy Lil Wayne collaboration “Ain’t Gonna Answer,” along with his X-rated Sexyy Red remix of “Slut Me Out,” Choppa is slowing down. Tonight, he has dropped a nostalgic new single, “It’s Getting Hot,” which is inspired by an early aughts classic.

“It’s Getting Hot” features a prominent sample of Nelly’s “Hot In Herre,” and even features Choppa replicating the chorus.

“It’s getting hot in here / so take off all your clothes,” raps Choppa, to which a female voice responds, “I am getting so hot, I wanna take my clothes off.”

Of course, Choppa gives the song his own touch, with his raunchy bars throughout.

The song’s accompanying music video even features Choppa channeling Nelly, wearing baggy jeans, a wife-beater, and Nelly’s signature under-eye bandage. In the clip are several callbacks to the 2000s, including a part where Choppa is rapping in the booth, reading from a Sidekick phone. Elsewhere in the video is a woman swinging her hips, with “NLEVILLE,” printed on the backside — an allusion to Nelly’s 2002 album, Nellyville.

You can watch the “It’s Getting Hot” video above.

NLE Choppa is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

50 Cent Trolls Ja Rule For “Stupid” Stretcher Stunt

by

Nearly 25 years after they began feuding, 50 Cent still doesn’t miss an opportunity to troll Ja Rule. Over the weekend, Ja Rule took the stage at Nelly’s Hot In Herre Festival in Toronto, Canada, and kickstarted his set in the oddest way possible. An emergency medical technician brought out Ja Rule in a stretcher before being resuscitated back to life. “Ayo, let these n***as know who I am. I’m one of the three, n***a!” he declared before starting to perform. 

Although fans began screaming, the built-up anticipation didn’t seem to translate well online. Fans began piling onto Ja Rule for his theatrical intro. It didn’t take long for 50 Cent to chime in on the matter. Fif shared a screenshot of Ginuwine’s performance on 106 & Park where he was similarly wheeled out on a stretcher, although he didn’t really provide a comment as you’d expect. “LOL WTF,” he wrote. “I ain’t gotta say shit stupid [ninja emoji]’s SMH,” he added with a face palm emoji.

This is not the first time in recent months that 50 Cent began poking at his adversary, Ja Rule. In March, Fif paid a visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves to commemorate the partnership between the NBA team and Sire Spirits. “We had a curse! Somebody fucked up, and they let Ja Rule perform at halftime,” 50 Cent wrote, referencing the “Thug Lovin’” rapper’s cringy halftime performance in 2019. “Now, what we’re gonna do is take the curse off!”

Although Ja hasn’t responded to 50 Cent’s latest jab, he fired back at the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ artist’s mention of his name. “#RENTFREE Only thing Curtis lifting up is his skirt… 50 been on my d**k he love my style lmao. And now the curse has been extended,”  he wrote. We’ll keep you posted on any response from Ja Rule. Check out 50 Cent’s post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

Nelly Announces “Hot In Herre” Festival With Rick Ross, T.I. & More

by

Festival season is right around the corner. Numerous festivals slated for the spring and summer already announced their lineups this year. Most recently, Dreamville announced that Dreamville Fest will take place the first two days of April. The headliners for the event include Drake, J. Cole, Usher, Summer Walker, and more. Additionally, Pusha T and Malice of Clipse are set to perform together for Chicago’s Hype Park Summerfest. Also, earlier this year in January, Travis Scott, 50 Cent and more landed on the lineup as headliners for Wireless Fest. So, it seems that festival posters and big names have been flying around everywhere to start the year. And with this, Country Grammar star Nelly wanted to join the fun.

On Feb. 28, Nelly announced that he’d be hosting a brand new festival called Hot In Herre. Named for one of the biggest hits of his career, Hot In Herre Festival takes place in Toronto on June 24. Aligning with his specific era of hip-hop, the lineup includes some 2000s legends. T.I., Rick Ross, Ne-Yo, Akon, and more will all perform at the show. Located at Downsview Park in Toronto, Hot In Herre will be the first festival Nelly has organized.

Nelly Is Ready To Rock

In a press release associated with the announcement, Nelly gave a statement about his excitement for Hot In Herre. “Toronto is one of my favorite cities to perform in, and the fact that I get to come back and bring all the people that came up with me in the industry means everything,” he said. “We have a lot of surprises in store for you, Toronto, and the Hot in Herre team can’t wait for this summer.” However, this announcement comes just a few weeks after Nelly worried some fans at a festival. At Juicy Fest in January, he exhibited troubling behavior on stage. However, it seems he does not have any health concerns related to the incident.

Along with Nelly’s statement, Hot In Herre’s co-organizer Nostalgia Inc. also gave some words in regards to the fest. “From ‘Ride Wit Me’ to ‘Dilemma’ to ‘Just a Dream’ every song will likely strike a chord,” they wrote. “So come equipped with bucket hats, low-rise camouflage pants, and film cameras galore, because these artists are getting ready to transport their fans back to a time when the most important thing was updating your Facebook status.” Just a few months away, tickets for the event are now available here.

Nelly Is Starting His Own Music Festival And Of Course It’s Named After One Of His Biggest Hits

It seems like every star in music has their own music festival these days. J. Cole’s got Dreamville, Tyler The Creator’s got Flog Gnaw, and Usher has taken over the Lovers And Friends Fest. Well, another contender has thrown their name in the ring, and like Usher, he’s a millennial favorite who’s named his event after one of his biggest hits and stocked its lineup with a bunch of his contemporaries.

Nelly‘s Hot In Herre festival is aimed for June 24 at Toronto’s Downsview Park with a lineup consisting of millennial favorites like Akon, Chingy, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, Rick Ross, and T.I. Not bad for a one-day festival that isn’t in any of the booked artists’ usual stomping grounds. You’d think it’d be in St. Louis, right?

In the press release, Nelly sort of explains the location. “Toronto is one of my favorite cities to perform in, and the fact that I get to come back and bring all the people that came up with me in the industry means everything,” he says. “We have a lot of surprises in store for you, Toronto, and the Hot in Herre team can’t wait for this summer.”

General admission tickets are already online starting at $170. You can find more information on the official website.

Chance The Rapper Performed A Rocking Country Remix Of Nelly’s ‘Hot In Herre’

by

Jimmy Fallon’s got a new game show called That’s My Jam coming to NBC, and in a sneak preview last night, audiences got a glimpse of what’s in store when the show airs beginning next week/year. The show, which is inspired in part by comedy bits from Fallon’s version of The Tonight Show, pairs celebrity teams to compete in musical challenges from the previous show such as “Mixtape Medley Showdown,” “Slay It, Don’t Spray It,” and “Wheel of Musical Impressions.” (Remember Drop The Mic and Lip Sync Battle? Shows like this always have viral promise.)

In the sneak peek, the teams consist of Alessia Cara partnered with Josh Groban and Chance The Rapper paired with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, so the stage is already set for some hilarious shenanigans. Competing in a Musical Genre Challenge after Chance pulls the lever on a massive video screen, he spins the wheel again and ends up with Country Rock as the genre for a remix of hip-hop staple, Nelly’s “Hot In Herre.”

As the band strikes up a suitable instrumental, Chance gets really into character, affecting an Elvis-inspired “country” voice (which he even uses on the ad-libs!) and goes for broke to the delight of the studio audience, his fellow competitors, and of course, the host, who sings along with that signature Jimmy Fallon grin plastered across his face. Watch the hilarious clip above.
