Cardi B Booty Shaking Video Keeps Her Humble: “Body On 10, Twerk On 0”

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

With all the years she’s spent working as a stripper and rapper, you’d figure that by now, Cardi B should be pretty confident in her twerking skills. Since her initial rise to fame, the “Bodak Yellow” artist has hardly stopped clapping her surgically enhanced cheeks – even more so since she crossed paths with Offset. The pair now shares two children, but even that hasn’t been able to stop Bardi from shaking her booty.

Earlier this week, the 31-year-old uploaded a video to her Instagram Story which shows her shamelessly throwing it back. It’s hard to deny that Cardi’s hourglass shape looks awesome, but even she can admit that her rhythm feels off in this clip. “Body on 10, twerk on 0 ,” she wrote over the screen, laughing at herself while throwing her bodacious behind in a circle.

Her dancing abilities aren’t the only area of her life where Cardi has been feeling off. This year for Thanksgiving, the Invasion of Privacy artist admitted to missing out on all of her family’s festivities while enjoying a seriously deep sleep. Seeing as she’s working hard on putting her long-awaited sophomore album together for a 2024 release, and raising two little ones, it’s understandable if she needed to use her day off to catch up on her beauty slumber. Hopefully, Bardi also makes time to work on getting her booty-shaking game back on 100 before she films her next music video.

Besides inspiring herself (and probably countless others) to work on her twerking skills, it seems Cardi B’s OnlyFans efforts are encouraging another woman in the public eye to consider launching an account. After learning that the New Yorker and Iggy Azalea both reportedly made eight figures from their content creation on that platform alone, Blueface’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, has said she’ll be starting her profile in early 2024. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” Covered By Maneskin At Madison Square Garden

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” is one of the biggest rap hits of the past few years, especially coming from one of the most respected and acclaimed artists today. Its appeal is quite universal, with engaging and catchy refrains and melodies, plus some sharp bars. In fact, it’s stretching beyond genre and national boundaries, as Italian rock superstars Måneskin covered the track at their Madison Square Garden show in New York on Friday (September 22). “We cannot be the last rock band,” lead singer Damiano David remarked to the crowd before they went into their homage. “But maybe we can be the first rap band,” he added, albeit incorrectly.

Jokes aside, the cover is about as energetic and electrifying as you’d expect from a rock-centered rendition of “HUMBLE.” Driving guitars, hard-hitting drums, and anthemic vocals made Kendrick Lamar’s track translate quite well. At the very least, this is a much more respectful and appropriate nod to the rapper than another European incident involving a blackface-laden Polish karaoke competition. Hopefully more bands of various genres keep seeing the magic in the Compton MC’s music, and how it connects to any crowd.

Of course, this shouldn’t come as much surprise to Måneskin fans, who know the group to be quite versatile. While speaking to Esquire for an interview, David explained how each member’s wide influences contribute to their aesthetics and songwriting. “Not to brag, but for us, it comes easy,” he stated. “We have four different and very strong backgrounds. Ethan and Thomas are very into rock and roll, punk, more classical, so they bring that energy. I’m very, very into mainstream music, mainstream hooks, mainstream melodies. So I bring that kind of idea, and they put steroids in what I do.”

Meanwhile, the Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist impacts his peers in much more meaningful ways than just artistic inspiration. His Black Hippy and former TDE partner ScHoolboy Q recently gave K.Dot credit for “saving his life.” Surely, this will be far from the last cover of his music for generations to come. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kendrick Lamar.

Måneskin Covered Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Humble’ With Some Rock-Fueled Flair

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last night (September 22), Måneskin delivered a killer performance at Madison Square Garden. Over the course of the night, the Italian rock band, who won the Eurovision competition in 2021, performed several songs from their third studio album, Rush, as well as their cover of The Four Seasons’ “Beggin’,” which carried them over from Eurovision to TikTok fame. Later into the night, they added their spin on a fan-favorite Kendrick Lamar hit.

“We cannot be the last rock band… but maybe we can be the first rap band,” said Måneskin’s lead vocalist Damiano David, before diving into a cover of the 2017 hit single, “Humble.”

This particular rendition of “Humble” was a lot more guitar-and-drum-driven, but maintained the powerful spirit of the original version.

This performance wasn’t the first time the band has displayed the influence they take from a multitude of genres. In an interview with Esquire, David revealed that this type of genre-fluidity comes naturally to him and the band.

“Not to brag, but for us, it comes easy,” he says. “We have four different and very strong backgrounds—Ethan and Thomas are very into rock n’ roll, punk, more classical, so they bring that energy. And I’m very, very into mainstream music, mainstream hooks, mainstream melodies. So I bring that kind of idea, and they put steroids in what I do.”

The D.O.C. Explains Picking Biggie As His No.1 Artist

May 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The D.O.C. says that The Notorious B.I.G.’s humility is what sets him apart from other great artists. He recalled meeting the late rapper during a recent appearance on Ambrosia For Head‘s What’s The Headline podcast.

“I got mad at Biggie Smalls ’cause I could hear where I was gonna go,” The D.O.C. began. “When he first came [out], I could hear where I wanted to go, and couldn’t do it. So it made me be angry with him—before I met him.”

He continued: “But when I met him, he was such a genuine dude. He asked me to take a picture with him, and he was so fuckin’ humble. And I was like, how can you hate a dude like that? Ever since then, he’s been my No. 1, really. We were in Chicago at something. It was Saafir, and Craig Mack, and Smalls, and myself. And he was just a cool dude, man.”

The comments come as Warner Music Group is releasing a visual podcast series, Iconic Records. The first season focuses on The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 album, Life After Death.

The D.O.C. On Biggie’s Greatness

The D.O.C. has an iconic career of his own. Nelly recently picked him over The Notorious B.I.G. as the greatest “What If?” in hip-hop history. He explained why during a video on Instagram. “Listen, I know a lot of people got they own opinions about Hip hop but the biggest what if in Hip Hop has to be The D.O.C.,” he said at the time. “It has to be. The D.O.C. has to be the biggest what if in Hip Hop history. Like if you know anything about Hip Hop and you research it [… ] I love all my young n***as, I don’t knock y’all. I support all my young brothers but the biggest what if has to be D.O.C. One album — that’s all you got. One album. I would say Biggie but Biggie at least got off two albums and we all recognize him as being one of the greatest but the biggest what if is The D.O.C. n***a. Do your research.”
