Reference tracks have always existed in hip-hop. Few artists, however, have been associated with the concept of a reference track than Drake. He has become the poster child for this practice, much in the same way that he has for ghostwriting. It’s been a topic of debate since 2015, and it resurfaced after the Kendrick Lamar battle subsided. Reference tracks for “Ratchet Happy Birthday” and “Mob Ties” leaked online, furthering the narrative that Drake doesn’t write his own material. Another reference track has surfaced, but this time, Lil Wayne is on the receiving end.
The reference track leaked on June 6, and sees Drake lay down the basis for what would become the Lil Wayne song “I’m Single.” The reference track dates back to early 2009, when Drizzy signed to Wayne’s Young Money label. The most fascinating aspect of the the reference is not that Drake wrote it, but how much he was able to emulate Wayne’s signature flow. The Toronto upstart made it very easy for Weezy to hop on the song and make it a standout on his album I Am Not a Human Being. Drake was originally slated to be on “I’m Single” with Wayne, but it wound up being a solo effort.
Between Drake’s writing credit on the final version, and the production from Noah “40” Shebib, it’s no surprise to learn that “I’m Single” started out as an OVO joint. This is not the first time that the topic of Drake writing for Lil Wayne has surfaced. Karrine Steffans told VladTV that Drake penned lots of songs for Wayne during a 2015 interview. “[Lil] Wayne told me that Drake had written some things for him,” she claimed. “I was in the studio with Wayne listening to something that Drake had written, cause [he] can’t write like that. He’ll be honest about it. He only writes a certain way.”
Steffans asserted that Lil Wayne had no problem using Drake’s song ideas. “He was very honest,” she recalled. “So Drake was just kinda showing him how to take his ideas and turn them into a story and to make that story come back around. That’s a skill. That’s a storytelling skill. Not everybody can do that.” Drizzy seemingly borrowed Wayne’s tactics as he got bigger, if the PND and Vory reference tracks are anything to go by. The “I’m Single” reference track provides a unique glimpse at the working relationship between two legends, though. One that has come back to haunt one, and leave the other unscathed.
The inaugural TwoGether Land Festival, a partnership between ONE Musicfest and Live Nation Urban, transformed the historic Fair Park into a vibrant celebration of urban music and culture this past weekend. With headliners like Lil Wayne, Summer Walker, Latto, and Gucci Mane, the two-day event drew thousands of music enthusiasts to Dallas, establishing itself as the Southwest’s hottest new festival.
The festival kicked off with a bang, setting high expectations from the start. Gucci Mane’s entrance was nothing short of electrifying, as the crowd erupted in cheers at the sight of “1017” displayed on the screen. Gucci treated fans to an array of hits including “Lemonade,” “Wasted,” and “Freaky Girl.” A highlight of his performance was when he brought his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, on stage to dance to “Freaky Girl,” dazzling the audience with her glamorous outfit.
Dru Hill also left a lasting impression, celebrating their 25th anniversary with a performance that felt like a nostalgic trip back to the ’90s. They paid tribute to the late DMX, encouraging fans to “put your X’s up” during a spirited rendition of “What These B****es Want.” Hits like “Beauty,” “These Are The Times,” and “In My Bed” had the crowd singing along in unison.
Summer Walker’s performance was another standout, opening with a striking electric guitar riff. Her set included hits like “Session 32,” “You Don’t Know What Love Is,” “Playing Games,” and “Over It,” enhanced by stunning lighting in shades of purple, pink, and gold. She was joined on stage by guest artists, including Dallas native 4batz, who gifted her a large Louis Vuitton bag, and Tink, who performed “Treat Me Like Somebody.”
Memorable Moments and Star-Studded Sightings
The festival wasn’t just about the music. Kenyon Dixon mingled with fans in the VIP section, posing for photos and signing autographs. Houston’s Tajah The DJ, and K104’s Tre G and Kayla Brinkley were spotted among the VIPs, along with Jason Lyric.
Latto kept the energy high, performing her hits and engaging with the audience by tossing water bottles into the crowd, much to their delight. Her dynamic presence added to the festival’s exhilarating atmosphere.
A Grand Finale by Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne closed out the festival with a captivating set that left fans in awe. His performance included a comprehensive catalog of his greatest hits, providing a perfect end to an unforgettable weekend. As the final notes echoed through Fair Park, attendees knew they had witnessed something special.
TwoGether Land’s Promising Future
With its debut, TwoGether Land has set a high bar for urban music festivals in the Southwest. The diverse lineup and vibrant performances, coupled with the sense of community and celebration, promise that TwoGether Land will become a staple event for years to come. As festival founder J. Carter noted, “We look forward to TwoGether Land becoming a must-attend event, much like ONE Musicfest.”
TwoGether Land has indeed answered Dallas’ call, uniting music lovers from all corners to celebrate the creativity and soul of Black music. The festival’s successful inaugural year hints at an even brighter future, with anticipation already building for next year’s event.

Metro Boomin has continuously been on the front lines of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. The decorated producer essentially rekindled the flame when he put out “Like That” a couple of months ago now. The record went onto spawn one of the most entertaining rap feuds in the genre’s history. At times, multiple diss records dropping on the same day. It seems that the dust is settling a bit, with fans pretty much declaring K-Dot as the winner. But Metro is seemingly still piling on Drake after “Not Like Us” was spun at a recent Lil Wayne concert.
A fan pulled up to a recent Weezy show, as evidenced by the clip from X below. In the 30-second video, it was revealed that the “Drake killshot” was being played before the Louisiana legend hit the stage. Of course, most people are aware that Wayne and Drizzy are extremely close. For that reason, it is quite shocking to see this. However, it seems that a DJ was just trying to get the crowd ready for the main event.
What is not surprising is that Metro Boomin was happy to see the Drake hate continue. It appears that the “BBL DRIZZY” producer saw the video because he coincidentally posted a Wayne track on his Instagram story. He reshared “Crazy,” off Da Drought 3 one his classic mixtapes. Who knows what Metro was actually up to, but we can only assume that it was to applaud Wayne.
What are your thoughts on Metro Boomin sharing a Lil Wayne song on his IG story after “Not Like Us” was played at a Weezy concert? What kind of message do you think Metro is sending here? How about Lil Wayne? Is “Not Like Us” the best diss track from the Drake beef, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Rapsody is one of the most talented rappers in the game. Her music represents the sort of quality and reflectiveness that typified the backpack genre. She feels cut from the same cloth as Phonte, Mos Def, and her mentor, 9th Wonder. Rapsody broke through with her 2017 album, Laila’s Wisdom, but she’s been notably absent throughout the 2020s. Please Don’t Cry is her first new album in five years, and we’re happy to confirm that she hasn’t missed a step. If anything, she’s gotten better.
If Rapsody’s previous release, Eve, was about tributing her heroes, than Please Don’t Cry is about looking inward. She described the album on Instagram as a “love story with the reflection in the mirror,” an appreciation of all things “raw” and “imperfect.” The lyrical content of the album’s best songs bear this out. “3 A.M.” is a jazzy meditation on connecting with a loved one, and the Erykah Badu vocals on the hook embellish its smooth qualities. “Stand Tall” and “Lonely Women” are similar mid-tempo tracks that see Rapsody talk about the way people perceive and judge her. The latter, in particular, addresses the way people assume her sexuality based on her appearance.
Please Don’t Cry isn’t a one-dimensional listen, however. There are plenty of hard-hitting instrumentals that liven things up and prove that Rapsody can outmaneuver most of her male peers. “Black Popstar” and “Asteroids” are prime examples of this gear shift. The latter features a chugging Hit-Boy beat that ranks among the best instrumental flourishes on the album. “Raw” is another gritty showcase that sees Rapsody trade bars with Lil Wayne. Please Don’t Cry does run a bit long, at 22 tracks, but the rapper has been gone for a long time, and she had a lot to say. Listeners will be rewarded.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new album Please Don’t Cry by Rapsody? Does the rapper deliver after five years away? What is your favorite song and why? Did any features steal the show? 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 Rapsody. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.

Nikola Jokic put on a clinic on Tuesday night. The Denver Nuggets 3-time MVP had one of the best playoff games of his career, putting up 40 points while chipping in 13 boards and 7 assists. The Nuggets now have one 3-straight game against the Timberwolves. Many are blaming the Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert. Gobert could not handle Jokic and many have said he isn’t deserving of his title if he can’t stop Jokic. Rap icon and NBA superfan Lil Wayne has come to the defense of the French big man after all the criticism he has been getting.
Returning with more NBA analysis, Lil Wayne defends Rudy Gobert amid claims that Nikola Jokić is “cooking” him in the postseason. Shortly after Gobert’s Minnesota Timberwolves lost to Jokić’s Denver Nuggets in game five of the Western Conference playoffs, the rapper and ardent basketball fan released a video on social media. Weezy made some interesting points about Jokic and Gobert and shared his takes on both big men. Overall, Wayne thinks Gobert is getting the short end of the stick.
Reacting to Jokic’s dominant game, Weezy said, “Shout out to the Nuggets, it was a great game. Let me say first of all, I don’t like Jokić. I don’t like his game.” Lil Wayne is not a fan of Nikola Jokic, apparently. He continued, “I’m from the old school. Some people say he’s got an old school game, but that’s an older school than I’m from because he just look like… the dad’s dad vibe out there.” Then, in response to criticism over Gobert’s difficulties against Jokić in game five, he stood up for him. “I just wanna shout out my man Rudy Gobert. Defensive Player of the Year, whether you like it or not,” he added. “Rudy Gobert gets so much flak, man, and it looks like all he do to me is try his fucking hardest. The man just had his first fucking child.”
Lil Wayne says Goberts first child is the most important thing in the world right now and to forget about all the talk. He concluded, “We are all men that talk about this, that get on television and talk about this. With your first child, nothing else matters. Congratulate the man and give the man some respect for what he’s doing.” Gobert is getting an unfair shake in the situation. Nobody on planet Earth can stop Jokic. The shots he was hitting last night were ridiculous. Overall, Rudy is probably the easy scapegoat, but Jokic is going to be Jokic.
Reginae Carter has big shoes to fill. The oldest child of rapper Lil Wayne has already found success as a film actress, but now she’s making the move into music. Carter has collaborated with Wayne in the past, but her latest track has sparked debate over whether she has what it takes to become a solo star beyond her dad’s co-sign. The song “Truth” caught fire via social media on May 13, and Carter’s voice was the main talking point. Some listeners thought she sounded great, others felt like she was relying too heavily on Autotune.
Instagram comment sections can get brutally honest, and Reginae Carter got the full brunt of it. Users really went after the singer for slathering her vocals in Autotune, and criticized her for trying to move in a space she’s naturally suited for. “I got mad respect for Weezy daughter,” one of them wrote. “But singing in auto tune ain’t it boo smh. Acting I could see.” Most of the comments made reference to Lil Wayne, and felt she was trying to hard to follow in his footsteps. “Can we normalize not feeling pressured to perform because our parents did/do,” another user noted. “Just be rich and pretty. We overwhelmed.”
There were some who felt like she had strong presence on the song. Still, the positive comments tended to focus on her looks and performance in the music video, which tracks given her acting past. “Baby you got your mother’s gift not your daddy,” a user wrote. Reginae Carter’s mother is Toya Johnson, who is a notable TV personality. Johnson has also dabbled in music, but her greatest success has come on shows like Tiny and Toya.
To Reginae Carter’s credit, she knows how nepotism can affect fan opinion. She told People Magazine that Wayne advised her to develop a thick skin if she wanted to make it big. “My dad taught me a lot about just being in the industry, period,” she noted. “He taught me just to keep a thick skin, always be true to myself, never let no one tell me what I can and cannot do.” Carter may not have the music career her dad has, but she’ll find success in whatever field she ultimately decides on.
Musicians put in the work to perfect their craft and churn out great music that their teeming fans will love and appreciate. It takes so much to put out a music album, and one of the ways musicians track how much their work is appreciated is through album sales. Music data relating to album sales began in 1991, thanks to SoundScan, now known as Luminate. Since such data came into existence, only 26 albums have sold a million copies in the first week.
Selling a million album copies in the first week is no mean feat. However, some artists have managed to do it, with a few of them even going ahead to do it more than once. Some of the artists that sold a million album copies in the first week include Norah Jones (Feels Like Home), Limp Bizkit (Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water), and Garth Books (Double Live). Others on the prestigious list include Lady Gaga (Born This Way), The Beatles (1), Backstreet Boys (Black & Blue), and Whitney Houston (The Bodyguard). There are more artists on the list, with Taylor Swift and Adele among the most dominant musicians, releasing albums that sold over one million copies in the first week. Here are 11 albums that sold one million copies in their first week.
11. Drake – Views (2016)
Canadian rapper Drake released his fourth studio album, Views, on April 29, 2016. The album was released under three record labels: Cash Money Records, Republic Records, and Young Money Entertainment. In Views, Drake showed his musical diversity by taking influence from West African and West Indian music. He also made his first full foray into Jamaican dancehall music. Other music genres featured in Views include R&B, Afrobeat, pop, and UK funky. Views did remarkably well thanks to its diversified sound as it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Views sold 1.04 million equivalent album units in its first week. Equivalent album units combine streaming and song downloads in addition to traditional album sales. The measurement was introduced in the mid-2010s as a solution to the drop in album sales in the 21st century. Drake’s actual album sales for Views in the first week was 852,000 copies. Besides hitting high equivalent album unit sales, Drake also smashed streaming records with his Views album as it hit a staggering 245 million streams.
Magna Carta Holy Grail was Jay-Z’s 12th studio album. Days before the album’s release, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) changed its rules for gold and platinum certification. Before releasing the album on July 4, 2013, Jay-Z sold one million digital copies to Samsung, which then offered the copies to its users for free. Due to that action, the RIAA ruled that artists no longer had to wait 30 days to get certification for digital sales. Hence, Jay-Z’s one million album sales to Samsung began counting immediately after Magna Carta Holy Grail‘s release, meaning the album went platinum soon after its release.
Jay-Z featured artists like Nas, Rick Ross, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, and his wife, Beyoncé, on the album. Some of the hit songs on the album include “Holy Grail,” “Oceans,” and “Tom Ford.” Besides the one million digital album copies sold to Samsung, Magna Carta Holy Grail sold 528,000 physical copies in its first week and topped the US Billboard 200 chart upon its release. Jay-Z earned six Grammy Award nominations for the album, with “Holy Grail” winning the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
9. Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III (2008)
Tha Carter III was Lil Wayne’s sixth studio album. It was released on June 10, 2008, and sold 1,006,000 copies in its first week. Lil Wayne featured several big names in the album, including Jay-Z, Fabolous, Robin Thicke, Kanye West, the late Static Major, and Busta Rhymes. The album had several hit songs, including “A Milli,” “Lollipop,” and “Got Money,” and cemented Lil Wayne’s status as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Tha Carter III received several award nominations, including Album of the Year at the 2009 Grammys. That year’s award season was successful for Lil Wayne, as Tha Carter III earned him a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. Meanwhile, “Lollipop” won Best Rap Song, while “A Milli” won Best Rap Solo Performance.
Usher released his fourth studio album, Confessions, on Mar. 23, 2004. The R&B album had instant hits like “Yeah!,” “Burn,” “My Boo,” and “Confessions Part II.” Confessions sold 1,096,000 copies in its first week, solidifying itself as one of the greatest R&B albums. Confessions also came with some controversy due to its theme. There were wide beliefs that the album was themed around Usher’s personal relationships. However, Jermaine Dupri, who mainly produced Confessions, claimed the album was more reflective of his personal story. Besides incredible album sales, Confessions also earned Usher a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
7. 50 Cent – The Massacre (2005)
After announcing himself to the world with his Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album in 2003, 50 Cent followed it up with The Massacretwo years later. The album debuted at no. 1 on the US Billboard 200 thanks to hits like “Candy Shop,” “Just A Lil Bit,” and “Hate It Or Love It.” The Massacre sold 1,141,000 copies after its first week and solidified 50 Cent’s impact in the rap game. Hip-hop bigwigs like Dr. Dre, Eminem, Sha Money XL, and Scott Storch helped produce The Massacre. 50 Cent also featured Eminem, Olivia, Jamie Foxx, and Tony Yayo in the epic album, which was widely positively received and considered as one of his best albums.
6. Britney Spears – Oops!… I Did It Again (2000)
Oops!.. I Did It Again was a befitting name for Britney Spears’ second studio album. A year before its release, Britney debuted with a highly successful album, …Baby One More Time. Hence, she was under pressure to replicate the success of her first album. Britney welcomed the challenge and worked with several highly sought-after producers. Eventually, she put out a pop album that incorporated funk and R&B, earning her high praise and critical acclaim. Oops!.. I Did It Again enjoyed massive commercial success. It sold 1,319,000 copies in its first week and held the record for the fastest-selling album by a female artist and the largest first-week sales for a female album for 15 years.
Eminem’s fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, sold 1,322,000 in its first week. The album featured songs like “Without Me,” “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” and “White America.” Eventually, it sold 27 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Eminem incorporated more rap rock in The Eminem Show than he did with his previous albums. The Eminem Show was themed around The Real Slim Shady’s hip-hop prominence and his mixed feelings about fame. Eminem also took a step back from his Slim Shady alter ego in the album, as he deviated from being satirical.
4. Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)
The Eminem Show was not the first album with which Eminem sold over a million copies within the first week. On May 23, 2000, the rapper released his third studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP. Dr. Dre mainly produced the highly successful album, which went on to sell 1,760,000 copies in its first week. The album’s success helped to propel Eminem to the forefront of America’s hip-hop culture. Some of the album’s most popular songs include “Stan,” “The Real Slim Shady,” and “Bitch Please.”
3. NSYNC – No Strings Attached (2000)
NSYNC is a famous boy band consisting of Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez. Although the band is not as popular as before following a long hiatus, it remains one of the top-selling bands of all time. After making waves with their first two albums, NSYNC took it a notch higher with their third studio album, No Strings Attached. After its release on Mar. 21, 2000, No Strings Attached sold a mindblowing 2,416,000 copies in its first week. NSYNC repeated the feat with their next album, Celebrity, which sold 1,878,000 copies a week after its release on July 24, 2001.
2. Taylor Swift (The Tortured Poets Department, 2024)
Taylor Swift’s knack for singing about her romantic travails in her albums means her teeming fans would always anticipate her next album release. Hence, when she announced an album was on the way during the 2024 Grammy Awards, Swifties readied their earbuds in anticipation, as the album was Taylor’s first since her split from Joe Alwyn. Taylor released The Tortured Poets Department, her 11th studio album, on April 19, 2024. Unsurprisingly, her latest work sold 2,610,000 copies in its first week.
However, TTPD isn’t Taylor’s first album to sell over a million copies in its first week. The beloved songstress achieved that feat six other times with her previous albums. These include: 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which sold 1,359,000 copies in its first week; 1989, which sold 1,287,000 copies in its first week; Reputation, which sold 1,216,000 copies in its first week; Red, which sold 1,208,000 copies in its first week; Midnights, which sold 1,140,000 copies in its first week; and Speak Now, which sold 1,047,000 copies in its first week.
1. Adele (25, 2015)
While Taylor Swift has sold over a million album copies with seven albums, Adele needed just one album to achieve the feat three times. On Nov. 20, 2015, Adele released 25, her third studio album. The album’s title reflected the singer’s life and mind frame when she was 25 years old and featured classics like “Hello,” “Water Under the Bridge,” and “Love in the Dark.” Adele’s 25 enjoyed so much commercial success. It racked in a massive 3,378,000 album sales in its first week, breaking the record for first-week sales. The album sold over a million copies in a week for the second time in December 2015, selling 1,112,000 copies. It repeated the feat for a third time in January 2016, selling 1,158,000 copies in a week.
Lil Wayne is a common sight at NBA games. Wayne is an avid sports fan and loves basketball, so it’s only fitting he leads the promo for the NBA playoffs. He leads a list of big names that have been tapped by the NBA to feature in their playoff promotion. The promotion features narration from Chris Rock. Additionally, other celebrities, including ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Guy Fieri, and singer Anuel AA, joined Lil Wayne in the promotion. The commercial also features several NBA stars like Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Jayson Tatum.
The NBA playoffs are shaping up to be spectacular. With so many good teams, star players, and incredible matchups, the playoffs need a hype man. Weezy is the perfect person to lead the playoff promo. The New Orleans native’s hometown team still has a chance to make it, but he is known to have allegiances with other teams like The Celtics. Furthermore, Wayne is routinely seen at Lakers games with his son. NBA fans will likely see Weezy courtside in their commercial breaks this postseason.
Chris Rock narrates as we see NBA stars like Jason Tatum, joined by Lil Wayne and ESPN’s Malika Andrews. The ad campaign is called “Playoff Mode,” and we see Jayson Tatum being asked about “Playoff Jayson.” The idea is players elevate their game in the playoffs. Tatum denies the allegations, and Chris Rock goes into the evidence. Rock introduces Lil Wayne as “Playoff Tunechi,” as we see him in an arcade playing a claw machine game. It’s a fun commercial, and Wayne looks like he is having a good time. We also see Shaq and Guy Fieri as the commercial ends.
The NBA playoffs start on Saturday, April 20th, with matchups all day. Before the big show, the final spots in the Western Conference will be decided tonight. The New Orleans Pelicans play the Sacramento Kings for the final spot in the west. Additionally, the Chicago Bulls take on the Miami Heat for the final spot in the east. Lil Wayne’s playoff commercial will definitely be played several times tonight and throughout the first round.
BG is back! The New Orleans rapper has been out of the spotlight for a long time, but he appears to be hard at work on a comeback album. The most exciting possibility of the B.G. comeback, of course, is an opportunity to hear him rhyme alongside fellow Hot Boys members like Juvenile and Lil Wayne, which is evidently in the works! B.G. hyped up his album during recent Instagram Live, and he confirmed that he’s been in touch with Wayne about a collaboration.
B.G. told Instagram Live viewers that he not only has a Wayne verse in hand for his album, but that he was able to coax out a classic performance from the Young Money mogul. “Weezy sent me the verse back for the album,” he noted. “I told him I wanted the mixtape Weezy. He gave me the mixtape Weezy.” The “Bling Bling” rapper went on to hype up the Hot Boys reunion tour, which does not yet have a legit start date. “We got this tour coming up, this reunion tour,” he claimed. “It’s definitely on the way. Fresh, Suga Slim and Weezy.”
B.G.’s confidence regarding the tour is encouraging. However, it does contradict what fans have been told about the tour from Juvenile. In March 2024, Juve told TMZ that the reunion has been put on hold due to tensions between various Hot Boys members. “No negativity for me, no negativity for me, man,” he explained. “You know, with me, I always say it’s gon’ happen. It’s gon’ happen… Time heals. We gotta let ’em simmer down a little bit, and, trust me, it’s happening.”
The delay may actually benefit B.G. given his recent legal troubles. The rapper was behind bars from 2012 to 2023, but a recent probation violation could result in him being locked back up. He addressed the situation during the aforementioned Instagram Live. “I ran into a hiccup with my little situation,” he noted. Still, B.G. is confident that he will be able to sort it out and get his career back on track. “I’ma get past it,” he added. “I need y’all to know that I definitely didn’t jump out there and do nothing that I ain’t have permission to do. It was just a lapse in communication.”
