Drake Claps Back At Yasiin Bey With Classic Method Man Interview

January 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, Drake was in the headlines thanks to some comments from hip-hop legend Yasiin Bey, previously known as Mos Def. In an interview with The Cutting Room Floor, Bey revealed that he isn’t so sure that Drizzy is hip-hop at this point. Instead, he is more of a pop artist. “Drake is pop to me,” Bey explained. “In the sense like, if I was in Target in Houston and I heard a Drake song, it feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping. Or shopping with an edge, in certain instances.”

Of course, these comments were extremely controversial. While some certainly agreed with the sentiment, there were others who felt that this was completely disrespectful to everything that the Canadian megastar has accomplished. In the past, Drake has been quick to respond to these kinds of things. Well, on Monday night, that is exactly what he did. Below, you can see an interview that the artist posted on his story. This is an old Method Man interview in which he explains what hip-hop is.

“Hip Hop is a culture,” Method Man said. “It’s a way of life, the way you dress, the way you talk, the way you walk. It’s the breakdancing, rhymes, stage show, DJ, mixing and scratching, the wordplay. That’s Hip Hop.” Drake captioned his Instagram story with a reference to Bey’s track “Umi Says.” “What umi say again? Lemme shine my light king don’t change up now,” he wrote. Needless to say, the artist is always watching, and he never passes up an opportunity to clap back at those hating on him.

Let us know what you thought of Bey’s comments, down below. Was he too hard on Drake? If not, why do you think he was right in his assessment?

Bow Wow Wishes Mother Of His Child Would Get “Ran Over By A Mack Truck”

January 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bow Wow is no stranger to beefing with the mothers of his kids, but today, the performer took his shade to a new level. In a now-deleted Instagram Story, he said that he wishes one of them would find herself in harm’s way. It’s unclear what prompted the heated post.

“I wish my baby mother got ran over by a Mack truck,” he began his post, adding a laughing emoji. “Not Joie the bum b*tch y’all don’t [know].” While Bow Wow didn’t call her out by name, fans are well aware that he’s referring to Instagram model Olivia Sky, who he fathered a son with back in 2020.

She’s previously put the artist on blast for making co-parenting the child difficult, but social media users are taken aback by Bow Wow’s comment. “Wishing harm to the mother of your child is wild. Idc how you feeling. That ain’t it!” one commenter says. “The one raising your child?” another wonders. This isn’t the first time Bow Wow was rubbed the wrong way by one of his kids’ mothers, however. Earlier this year, he weighed in on his ex Joie Chavis’ fling with Diddy, claiming that “She knew better.”

“There’s a conduct and code men go by and everyone knows certain things are off limits,” he continued on The Baller Alert Show. “Wives and baby mamas is just some sh*t that, you know, you steer clear from.” According to him, he only partakes in that kind of “f*ckery sh*t” with those he doesn’t care about. What do you think of Bow Wow taking aim at the mother of his child on his Instagram Story? Do you think he went too far, or were his comments warranted? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Playboi Carti Reveals DMs With Vince Staples

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti has a new album coming out and it is by far the most anticipated project in hip-hop right now. Overall, fans just want to hear it. They know that it is going to be good, especially since all three singles so far have been great. Ultimately, Carti is changing up his sound, and the supporters are messing with it. Moreover, even the Carti skeptics can’t help but agree that his new vision is pretty damn good. Hopefully, the album is going to live up to those lofty expectations.

Throughout this rollout, a few artists have actually reached out to Carti. One of them was Drake, whom Carti was talking to just the other day. Most recently, however, he got a DM from none other than Vince Staples. Staples reached out to Carti directly and praised him for the new songs. The Whole Lotta Red artist took to his IG story and posted the DMs, saying “LOVE U CRIP.” In the message, Staples said: “Never forget what I told you way back when you the one outta the youth just keep being yourself. They’ll catch up.”

Playboi Carti x Vince Staples

A collaboration between these two artists on Carti’s new album is highly unlikely. While they may respect each other’s work, they are in very different lanes. However, the fact remains that Carti is leaving a lot of people impressed with his new work. If he can keep this momentum going, then there is no doubt the new album could be a very early 2024 album of the year contender. If you were to ask his fans, they would say he already deserves that award, and then some.

Let us know what you think of the two new Carti songs, in the comments section below. Are they what you were hoping for from him? Or did you want something else from the artist? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

Playboi Carti Shares Texts From “God” To His Instagram Story

December 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti’s recent comeback has fans unbelievably excited. He’s recently released a series of new singles with accompanying music videos on YouTube. Even though the tracks haven’t hit streaming yet that hasn’t stopped fans from listening to them and sharing them online. In fact, there’s so much renewed interest in Playboi Carti that his 2020 album Whole Lotta Red returned to the charts this week as fans revisit the project in anticipation of what’s coming next.

Carti has also returned to social media where he’s made repeated posts to his Instagram story in particular. A lot of the posts have been logos of unclear and loosely defined projects but occasionally there’s something more concrete. But there’s also examples of Carti getting even more abstract and he shared another one today. In a recent story post he showed off a screenshot of three texts made to look like they’re sent to him by god. The texts read “Biggest in the world,” “You’re the best of all time,” and “the greatest.” Check out the bizarre post below.

Playboi Carti’s Texts From God

Among Playboi Carti’s new singles is the breakout hit “2024.” The song features production from Kanye West among others and the music video has already racked up over 12 million views. The song has already transcended Carti’s own audience and is catching on as a hit on various social media platforms. It’s unclear if the songs he’s dropping are loose singles or destined to appear on his next album.

Earlier this week, Playboi Carti shared yet another new single called “H00DBYAIR.” The song harnesses his new deep voice which stands in stark contrast to his distinctive high-pitched rap style. Additionally the new run of singles has fans buzzing even more about whether or not Carti’s first new album since 2020 could be on the way soon. What do you think of Playboi Carti’s texts from god? Do you think Carti will be dropping a new album soon? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Gets Surprising Response From Wiley After He Posts Skepta Diss

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is quite the fan of the U.K hip-hop scene, whether it’s grime, drill, and a whole host of other subgenres and artists. However, his admiration for them might’ve gotten him in the middle of a beef within the Boy Better Know (BBK) collective. For those unaware, Skepta and Wiley are two excellent exponents of grime within this group, but they had a falling out and the latter soon distanced himself from the crew. Moreover, the 6ix God recently posted an old Skep freestyle on his Instagram Story which contains some very pointed shots towards Wiley. His response, though, is probably the most interesting part of this whole exchange.

“How can you be a king when you roll through anywhere?” Skepta spits in the clip that Drake reposted on social media recently. “Wiley, you don’t roll through anywhere, I go anywhere, fam, I’m never scared. You said you rep E3 but you never there, so lemme murk this guy. It’s all in your name, fam, I don’t need to try, I take away the W, I take away the Y. Fix up the other letters, all you do is just lie.”

Meanwhile, Wiley actually had some praise to say for Drake amid folks expecting him to pop off against him. “I’m not gonna lie I actually think Drake is a cold rapper.” Not only that, but the British MC defended ghostwriting claims levied at the Toronto superstar– according to HipHopDX– and posted a video on social media of himself rocking out to Drizzy’s new Scary Hours 3 cut, “Red Button.” Not only that, but when a fan pointed out that he couldn’t have picked this video by accident, Wiley still shrugged it off. “Oh ok well either way we haffi big up the man like Drizzy Marley everytime Yanam Zayin,” he wrote.

Wiley’s Responses

Of course, the OVO mogul is no stranger to beef within rap, but he usually keeps it within his own artistic and stateside lane. It’s entirely possible that he thought this was just a cold freestyle regardless of context, and it’s been a while since he tapped back into that scene. We’ll see if this debate and these responses prompt a change in that anytime soon. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake, Skepta, and Wiley.

Azealia Banks Labels Diddy A “Violent Homosexual” Following Cassie Abuse Allegations

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks is easily one of the most opinionated artists in hip-hop. However, much to her detriment, she does have a history of saying things in a strong and negative way. Overall, this has helped keep her in the news as her musical endeavors have not been fruitful lately. That said, she has been given a brand-new topic to speak on. Last night, it was reported that Cassie was suing Diddy for $30 million. The subject of this lawsuit is quite harrowing, as the singer hit Diddy with allegations of rape, abuse, and even violence towards others.

Banks is someone who knows a lot about the industry and sometimes, she will make claims that may seem outlandish. However, she is always confident in her assertions, even if they can’t be immediately backed up. For instance, while taking to Instagram, Banks alleged that Diddy once beat up Cassie and had to send her to Hawaii. This is a story that remains an allegation, although Banks shared it anyway.

“One time Diddy beat her up so bad he sent her on a 3week ‘vacation’ to Hawaii just so no one would see or question how her face got like that,” Banks alleged. “Another violent hiphop homosexual. This is what mental illness looks like for all of you armchair psychologists.” These are very strong comments although they are in line with how Banks usually approaches things. Either way, this is a story that continues to develop in real-time. It is also important to note that Diddy has denied the allegations that have been leveled against him by Cassie.

G Herbo Denies IG Rant Was About Chris Brown, Breezy Backs Him Up

November 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Both G Herbo and Chris Brown have dismissed any speculation that there is any bad blood between them. Fans first theorized that this may be the case after Herbo said “Imma slap the f-ck outta you” in an Instagram Story post that appeared to be responding to an interview by Brown in which he asked Funny Marco about being “bullied” by Herbo and Southside. However, Herbo denied this. “Im not talking bout no f-cking Chris. Stop posting this gang y’all reaching,” he wrote in the comments.

Furthermore, a separate post from Brown himself appeared to corroborate the Chicago rapper’s sentiment. “Y’all gotta chill wit the negative sh-t. HERBO IS MY REAL BLOODA. NOW YALL CAN GO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND CHILL DA F-CK OUT. JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZUZZZ CHRIST,” Brown wrote on his own story. That should put any rumblings of a feud to bed, given that neither man in the “beef” appears to think there is one.

However, the allegations of beef with Breezy aren’t the only thing that people are coming after Herbo for. He recently took part in a YouTube dating show hosted by No Luv Mar. Entitled “20 WOMEN VS 1 RAPPER: G HERBO”, the show featured Herbo trying to find a new romantic partner before he heads to prison. However, while Herbo left the show alone, one interaction will stay with fans. The rapper cursed out one women after she asked him where he was from. The Chicago rapper was pretty offended that she didn”t know beforehand. “You ain’t look up nothing? Bye! How the f-ck you don’t know where I’m from and you talking to me? Get the f-ck on, bye!”

That wasn’t the end of the interaction, however, as the women didn’t leave without some parting shots of her own. “You could get the f-ck on! How the hell am I supposed to know where the f-ck you from? Don’t nobody know about you. Ain’t nobody looking sh*t up. Fuck you, n-gga. Light-skin a–. You look like Latto with your light-skin a–. Why your hairline so far back?” Regardless, as mentioned, he doesn’t have a lot of time for love right now. He is expected to begin a five-year prison sentence for fraud in the next few months.

Azealia Banks Labels Troye Sivan An “Expired Twink” In Bigoted Rant About “212”

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks slammed Troye Sivan in a lengthy, hate-filled rant on Instagram, Wednesday, labeling the singer an “expired twink.” Sivan had praised Banks and remarked that her 2011 single, “212,” is a staple of his pregame playlist.

“This is these white kids’ weird way of apologizing for bandwagoning,” she began in the rant on her Instagram Story. “Having no clue of the kind of shit happening to me behind the scenes in the industry.” After adding a photo of Sivan, she continued: “I’m not impressed by any of these people (who I’ve never met in person nor had a conversation with me) not having the audacity to be as public and loud with their apology as they were with using their platform to cast judgment as if a singular me was an important social justice issue. I would REALLY appreciate all of these f*ckin civilian ass bitches to stop mentioning me, stop dancing to my shit in the club if you’re not going to treat me like a human and take back all the unfounded bullshit you all used ur platforms to perpetuate.”

From there, Banks got homophobic. “And your a late condescending expired Twink anyway bitch. We’ve been past 212. Trying ur hardest to old on to the f*cking weak ass pedophilia x incest aesthetic – perpetuating that underlying double standard that somehow pedophilia practiced among men is somehow okay… that fueled ur trash ass music in the first place. Give it up, puberty hit that ass and made u a doofy looking young man,” she wrote. She finished by suggesting that he’s going to “pull the grift” and come out as transgender.

Banks dropped “212” back in 2011, helping push her career into the mainstream. It was included on the tracklist to her debut EP, 1991. It’s the years since its release, “212,” has frequently been cited as one of the best songs of the year. Billboard even listed it among its tracks that “defined the decade,” while Rolling Stone included it on its revised list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

Alicia Keys Refutes Being Pro Hamas After Fan Backlash

October 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Everyone is talking about one of the major news stories of 2023. The ongoing conflict in Israel has captured the attention of the public, including many celebrities. While plenty have willingly offered their perspectives and commented on the developments, others have stayed quiet. But Alicia Keys recently found out that even when you aren’t trying to make any observations, you can accidentally get swept up in the debate.

Keys found that out when she made a pretty innocuous post that just a week ago wouldn’t have caused any stir. It was a pretty simple series of pictures of Keys herself sporting a green leather jacket, but the caption is what drew people’s attention. “What would u do if you weren’t afraid of anything??? Tell me your truth … I’ve had my eyes on paragliding ” her caption read. It was just one single word in her post the drew a lot of negative attention, paragliding. It unfortunately came shortly after reports that paragliders were used as an infiltration method in Israel earlier that day. Check out screenshots of the since-deleted post below.

Alicia Keys Clarifies “Completely Unrelated” Instagram Post That Mentioned Paragliding: “I Pray for and Stand for Peace” https://t.co/yZWarKp8nJ

— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) October 17, 2023

Keys took to her Instagram story to clarify that her comments had no connection to the conflict. “The post I shared earlier was COMPLETELY unrelated in any way to the recent devastating loss of innocent lives. My heart has been breaking… I pray for and stand for peace,” she said on a story post after deleting the original pictures.

Unsurprisingly, when Swizz Beatz celebrated his birthday last month, Alicia Keys was along for the ride. During both a dinner with Lil Durk and a party that featured people like Pharrell Keys was standing right by her man throughout. The pair are often making attention for showing up at events together and sometimes posting hilarious social media content.

Drake Gives Sexyy Red The Ultimate Praise Following “For All The Dogs” Feature

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake has been having an interesting weekend so far. Overall, it has been a successful one given the fact that he just dropped For All The Dogs. The 23-song undertaking is going to be the number-one album in the world come next Monday. However, this may just prove to be a bittersweet moment for Aubrey. The album is quite polarizing and people are a bit underwhelmed by what the megastar put out. With a name like For All The Dogs, fans expected some hard rap tracks. Instead, the majority of the album sees Drizzy getting into his R&B bag.

Despite the negative reactions to the album, there is one song that is almost universally beloved. Of course, we are talking about the cut “Rich Baby Daddy” which features Sexyy Red and SZA. SZA appears earlier on the tracklist with the previously released “Slime You Out.” As for Sexyy Red, she has been getting a ton of co-signs from Drake as of late. Consequently, it came as no surprise that she would get a feature on the album. Now that the song has been released, Drizzy continues to give the newcomer her flowers.
