Kanye West’s First Intro For “LIKE THAT” REMIX Surfaces & It Was Originally A Callback To This “Late Registration” Record

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

All hip-hop fans know that Kanye West loves to tweak anything he does relentlessly. As we all know, the VULTURES rollout schedule has nowhere near gone according to plan. The trilogy was supposed to have been completed by now in a perfect world. However, we are still being left in the dark on the future plans for this series. Surely, Kanye West jumping into the Kendrick Lamar versus Drake beef with his “LIKE THAT REMIX” threw a wrench in any progress being made. We have reached that conclusion, partially because of a new snippet surfacing on X (formerly Twitter), not too long ago.

A Kanye West fan account, who goes by Donda Times, posted a 20 second audio clip of the original intro to his version of “LIKE THAT”. If you remember, Ye was puffing his chest out and looking to back up his bro, Kendrick. “You know we had to get The Hooligans up here, we gon’ take this p***y n**** out / Yo, Dot, I got you.” That hopped right into his verse, but in this original recording, things sounded a lot different.

Kanye West Modernized The “Celebration” Intro For “LIKE THAT REMIX”

Instead, Ye decided to work in some bars from on his sophomore album Late Registration and rerecord them. “Yeah, you know what this is It’s a celebration, b****es Grab a drink, grab a glass After that, I grab yo’ a**.” Fans were quick to notice those lyrics were the chorus to track 17, “Celebration”. In addition to this, Kanye’s verse does not immediately follow. In fact, Future’s vocals pop up instead. After hearing this evidence, we feel that this intro sounds better and adds some extra charisma to the track.

But what are your thoughts on the original intro from Kanye West on his “LIKE THAT REMIX” being the same from “Celebration”? Do you think they should have kept this, or is the final version better? Looking back, was it a smart move for Kanye to diss Drake and J. Cole? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

“Like That” Remix By Kanye West Taken Off YouTube By Sony

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West recently entered the “elimination of Drake” with his remix of “Like That.” Metro Boomin made a darker and more anthemic beat and Future even recorded a new verse. It was officially premiered on Justin Laboy’s podcast The Download this past weekend after Adam22 leaked it on April 20. The track went viral for bars like, “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind / I can’t even think of a Drake line / Play J. Cole, get the p***y dry.” Ye released the track on his YouTube page, as well as his website yeezy.com. However, Sony is not having it any of it, as the “Like That” remix is now off of YouTube.

RapTV was one of the first to report the news on their Instagram account by sharing a screenshot of the unplayable track. As of now, only the audio from Kanye West’s account on the video platform is down. When you click on the video, it reads, “This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.” This may not be too much of a surprise to some as Sony and UMG had Ye under contract and then removed him from the payroll after voicing their distaste for his antisemitic statements.

Kanye has been sharing his disdain for major labels and it has been part of the reason why he recently began another beef installment with Drake. During the Laboy interview he stated, “Drake has a rich baby daddy, named Lucian [Grainge] and Universal. “He’s like, ‘My daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs.’ Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian.”

What are your thoughts on the “Like That” remix by Kanye best being taken down by Sony? Do you think this removal stems from them speaking against Ye’s antisemitic statements, why or why not? How do you see the controversial rapper handling this down the road? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Kanye West Explains Why He’s Dissing Drake Again Despite Their Recent Reconciliation

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We’ll probably never know if Kanye West was asked to insert himself in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef or if it was of his own volition. Either way, he seems to think there’s truth to both narratives, as he explained during a recent interview on Justin LaBoy’s podcast, The Download. For those unaware, the Chicago artist premiered his remix of “Like That” on this show following some leaks and previews from Adam22 that initially spread like wildfire on social media. When he played (and later released) the CDQ version, though, along with Metro Boomin’s blessing, folks really knew that he was getting into it.

However, a lot of folks brought up that Ye and Drizzy had already “made up” with their Larry Hoover benefit concert in 2021, something that LaBoy asked his guest about. “Y’all did the Hoover concert together,” he told Kanye West. “Me and the rest of the world thought y’all were back cool. What happened after that?” “It cuts Drake’s soul,” he responded. “It’s like he signed his soul to the devil to not be cool with me. This is his job, to go against God, and that cuts his soul.”

Elsewhere during this interview, the controversial designer also offered his own perspective on what made him want to do the “Like That” remix, and while it’s an unconfirmed account, it’s probably as much as we’ll get about it. He said that Future was the one who hit him up to do the verse, and that folks in the rap game are “energized” by these shots at the OVO mogul. “Everybody is very, very excited about the elimination of Drake,” Kanye West expressed on The Download. In addition, he also claimed that Sir Lucian Grainge, the head of UMG, is The Boy’s father due to the massive deal that they inked.

“Drake has a rich baby daddy, named Lucian [Grainge] and Universal,” the VULTURES creative stated. “He’s like, ‘My daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs. Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian.” He also said that Grainge is a puppet of “people who control the banks in Africa.” For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and rap’s attempted coup d’état against Drake, stick around on HNHH.

Kanye West Claims The “Elimination Of Drake” Is Energizing Himself And Others

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is someone who has beefed with Drake a ton in the past. Although he had seemingly made nice with the rapper thanks to the tutelage of J Prince, he is back to dissing the megastar. Overall, Ye had the rap game talking this weekend thanks to his verse on the “Like That” remix. Throughout this new version of the song, he takes shots at both J. Cole and Drizzy. Of course, Cole has dissed Kanye in the past, so this recent shot felt like one that was a bit overdue. It also led to some pretty hilarious memes on social media, but that is neither here nor there.

This was all released around the same time that Kanye West was doing an interview with none other than Justin Laboy. During this interview, Ye spoke up about the “Like That” remix and what made him want to do it. As he notes, Future was the first person to call him about getting on the remix. Moreover, he noted that the recent attacks on Drake are something that has everyone “energized.” More specifically, the artist said, “Everybody is very, very excited about the elimination of Drake.”

Kanye West Joined The Party Recently

These are some strong words, and it goes to show that there is a bit of a deep hatred for Drake right now. That said, the former actor is not backing down right now. He dropped “Push Ups” where he took aim against Kendrick. Subsequently, he delivered the “Taylor Made Freestyle” which some believe could be a knockout punch. Only time will tell whether or not Lamar gets back involved, especially with so many artists in the ring right now.

Let us know what you think of the brewing war between Drake and the rest of the rap game, in the comments section down below. Do you think that this beef is starting to become unfair? Will Kendrick Lamar end up responding anytime soon? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Kanye West Drops Official “Like That” Remix, Disses Drake & J Cole

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West shared the official full version of his “Like That” remix on Sunday afternoon after premiering the track during an interview with Justin Laboy on The Download podcast the day before. With the lyrics to the song, he disses both Drake and J Cole and offers to join Kendrick Lamar in his ongoing feud with the rappers. Lamar previously dissed the two on his verse for the original version of Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That.”

On the new effort, Ye raps: “Pluto sent the drones, it hit like Metro beats/ It’s a wrap for n**gas, where’s Lucian? Serve ya’ master, n**ga/ You caught a little bag for your masters didn’t ya’, lifetime deal, I feel bad for n**gas/ Y’all so outta sight outta mind, I can’t even think of a Drake line/ Play J. Cole, get the p**sy dry, play this s**t back 130 times.”

Kanye West Remixes Metro Boomin & Future’s “Like That”

The original version of “Like That” sparked a number of diss records, which have resulted in a hip-hop civil war of sorts. ASAP Rocky, The Weeknd, Rick Ross, and more artists have all come out against Drake. The Toronto rapper fired back with his diss track, “Push Ups,” earlier this month. In the days since, he’s been taunting Kendrick Lamar to respond. As for J Cole, he bowed out of the feud just days after dropping “7 Minute Drill,” which he aimed at Lamar. He explained his decision at the Dreamville Festival and took the track off streaming services afterward.

While Kanye is the latest the join in on the situation, he previously spoke out about Drake and Lamar’s feud after “Like That” first released. He ranted on Instagram at the time: “EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED KENDRICK ON NO MORE PARTIES IN LA. EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED DRAKE AT THE FREE HOOVER CONCERT.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

Quotable Lyrics:

Y’all so outta sight, outta mind
I can’t even think of a Drake line
Play J. Cole, get the p*ssy dry

Metro Boomin Denies Pusha T’s Involvement In Drake Beef

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s “Like That” remix has really given a whole new set of possibilities in the Drake beef (which, at this point, is actually unfair to call a civil war when it’s more like a coup d’état). A lot of folks thought that Metro Boomin and Future would then call on even more people to join the battle, but if this specific example is anything to go off of, it seems like this was more Ye’s initiative than it was an agreement to any proposal from the duo. That’s because the St. Louis producer shut down rumors that Pusha T would be added into the mix with another rendition of “Like That.”

Moreover, folks allegedly saw a tweet in Metro Boomin’s likes that had an interesting proposition (we say “allegedly” because it’s not available anymore at press time). “I hope its pusha, not for the beef but i just need some new bars from him,” a user replied to someone previewing that who’s next on the remix will be something wild. When pages began to cover this and interpret it as a tease towards Pusha T verse on “Like That,” Metro replied to one in particular with a simple message: “fake news.” It’s unclear whether the false claim in question here is the Twitter like, the proposition, or both.

Metro Boomin Denies Rumors Of A Pusha T “Like That” Remix

Either way, there are a couple of different reasons as to why Pusha T probably won’t be dissing Drake anytime soon. For one, time and time again, he’s made it clear via interviews, social media posts, and other communication methods that he’s not interested in returning to that ring. The Boy didn’t even respond to “The Story Of Adidon”; why should the Clipse MC bother? While he hasn’t been above teasing his former opponent about his loss, or joking about his unscathed emergence from that whole debacle, he probably doesn’t see this as an important battle unless, for some reason, Drizzy specifically seeks that smoke out six years later.

Meanwhile, as for the idea of a “Like That” remix itself, we know that the “Runaway” duo isn’t as tight as they used to be. As such, we doubt that Ye would be the one to bring his former G.O.O.D. Music affiliate into the fold. But rap fans can dream… Is it something you’d be excited about?

Kanye West says he’s got “more coming tonight” after premiering his new “Like That” remix during an interview with Justin Laboy on The Download podcast on Saturday. He made the announcement in the replies to a meme he shared on Twitter which pokes fun at J Cole, who he dissed on the remix to Metro Boomin and Future’s hit song. “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind, I can’t even think of a Drake line,” West rapped. “Play J. Cole, get the p*ssy dry.”

Additionally, Metro Boomin posted a photo of himself in the studio with Kanye with the caption: “can’t stop won’t stop.” In the picture, West rocks a Sean Jean tank top while on the song, he raps: “Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop. I just f*cked your b*tch in a Sean John tank top.”

Kanye and Drake have had issues with one another for years at this point. Following the release of Kendrick Lamar’s verse on the original “Like That,” with which he disses Drake, Ye quickly spoke out on the feud.

April 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West continued going after J Cole on Twitter, on Saturday, after the premiere of his new remix to “Like That,” on which he disses the Dreamville rapper as well as Drake. Taking Kendrick Lamar’s side in his ongoing feud with Drake, West also joked that Cole’s music is a turn-off for women. “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind, I can’t even think of a Drake line,” West raps. “Play J. Cole, get the p*ssy dry.” On Twitter, he shared a meme echoing the sentiments.

In the replies, he added that there is “MORE COMING TONIGHT” on his website. West’s fans were loving the hostility. “J. Cole gotta drop the humility and swing back he getting embarrased rn,” one user wrote back to Ye. Another wrote: “Forget Drake vs. Kendrick, I’m tryna see Kanye vs. J. Cole rn.” It isn’t the first time West has commented on the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Following the release of Lamar’s verse on the original “Like That,” Ye ranted on Instagram: “EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED KENDRICK ON NO MORE PARTIES IN LA. EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED DRAKE AT THE FREE HOOVER CONCERT.”
