Lil Durk is in serious legal trouble. The controversial rapper has been charged with murder-for-hire after being accused of allegedly targeting fellow rapper Quando Rondo. The latter was not killed, but Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a Robinson, was. Lil Durk’s legal team is not going down without a fight, however. Durk’s legal representatives issued a statement on December 5, criticizing the prosecution for their emphasis on rap lyrics.
Lil Durk has multiple attorneys working for him at the moment. Drew Findling, Christy O’Connor, Marissa Goldberg and Jonathan Brayman are working to free the rapper, and they sent an email to Newsweek in which they detail their confidence moving forward. As far as they are concerned, when the prosecution has to rely on rap lyrics as a means of evidence, than there is not a lot of evidence to begin with. “When you see an artist’s rap lyrics quoted as ‘evidence’ against them,” they explained. “It is a glaring indication that there is no real evidence against that person.”
The lyrics in question come from the Lil Durk song “Wonderful Wayne & Jackie Boy.” The 2022 release sees the Chicago star “rapping about revenge” in a series of aggressive bars. Prosecution claims that Lil Durk was using his voice and his status within the rap industry to “commercialize” the death of Robinson. “Told me they got an addy (go, go) / Got location (go, go),” Durk rapped. “Green light (go, go, go, go, go) / Look on the news and see your son / You screamin’, ‘No, no’ (p**sy).” The prosecution believes Durk is explicitly referencing news coverage of Robinson’s death.
The rapper’s lawyers, meanwhile, feel this is a very thin connection to make between him and the late Robinson. “The claims in the indictment against Mr. Banks are false and lacking in the most basic due diligence,” they added. The team told Newsweek that they are not concerned about the subject matter of Lil Durk’s music. Furthermore, they are eager to prove that the rapper was not involved in the alleged murder-for-hire scheme for which he’s been charged. “He is looking forward to fighting against these false allegations in court,” they concluded.
It feels like there’s a thin line between coincidences and calculated moves, at least for Kendrick Lamar. He’s often a few steps ahead of most, and the release of his new album, GNX, has been one of the year’s most anticipated albums, even though no one knew whether it would drop in 2024. It marked his first official project since Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers and his first album release post-TDE.
Context is important for this album. His historical beef with Drake is at the fore of this feud, especially after “Not Like Us” dominated the summer. However, this album isn’t strictly about Kendrick’s grievances with his peers–he’s coming for what’s his and destroying anything in his path. It all begins with “wacced out murals,” the blistering intro track that serves as the “Bomb First (My Second Reply)” to Kendrick’s The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. The first line alone addresses reports that one of his murals in Compton had been defaced in the wake of his Super Bowl halftime show announcement but this stands as a metaphor for the backlash he received following the news. Regardless, Kendrick is out for blood, and below, we’re breaking down the lyrics for the intro to GNX.
Despite the overwhelming amount of unity and support on the West Coast these days, there may have been a few individuals who just weren’t feeling Kendrick’s “Not Like Us.” The defacing of the artwork at Compton’s Honduras Restaurant Mi Sabor was seemingly handled by an OVO supporter, who X’d out Kendrick’s eyes, wrote the letters T and F, along with “OK,” before finishing with the acronyms of Drake’s October Very Own brand, XXL reports.
Drake
Of course, much of “wacced out murals” addresses the aftermath of his beef with Drake as early as the first verse when he raps, “It used to be f*ck that n***a but now it’s plural,” and “Put they head on a Cuban link as a monument,” which is an undoubted declaration of his unanimous win in the feud earlier this year. Much of the contention in the song–and the album at large– is directed at Drake or at the very least, what the Canadian rapper represents. However, the third verse of “wacced out murals” directly addresses a few talking points from the beef including a callback to “6:16 In L.A.”:
“N***as from my city couldn’t entertain old boy Promisin’ bank transactions and even Bitcoin I never peaced it up, that shit don’t sit well with me Before I take a truce, I’ll take ’em to Hell with me If that money got in the hands of a crash dummy Could jeopardize my family and burden the ones who love me”
These lines refer to the rumors that Drake tried to put money out in the streets for dirt on Kendrick Lamar. Alleged Kendrick affiliate, Coolee Bravo, claimed that he fed Drake false information for $150K. This has yet to be confirmed but Kendrick suggests that Drake was playing with fire, especially since someone could’ve taken things too far and caused physical harm to Kendrick’s family.
Lil Wayne
Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love
While many have debated whether or not Lil Wayne was dissed on GNX, Kendrick clearly had no issues taking his foe’s boss to task following the NOLA rapper’s complaints about the Super Bowl. “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” he raps in the second verse. Not only a reference to J. Cole’s “Let Nas Down” but this line serves as a direct response to Weezy and co. (Nicki Minaj etc.) who leaped to criticize Roc Nation and the Super Bowl without congratulating Kendrick Lamar.
For obvious reasons, the Young Money crew didn’t feel compelled to acknowledge Dot’s success after he duked it out with Wayne’s most notable protegé. This probably stung even more considering Kendrick once released a whole mixtape in dedication to Weezy. In fact, the intro of the project includes a glowing endorsement from Lil Wayne.
A few lines later, Kendrick seemingly takes digs at Lil Wayne’s musical output as of late. “Quite frankly, plenty artists, but they outdated/ Old-ass flows, trying to convince me that you they favorite,” he raps. It’s unclear if this is a shot at Wayne but most would agree that Wayne is far from his prime these days.
In response, Lil Wayne expressed confusion in a post on X. “Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love,” he tweeted.
Snoop Dogg
K dot new album GNX It was the edibles west west king
The West Coast’s never been as unified, though it seemed like Snoop felt like he was above the politics. Following the release of Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle,” where he used AI to replicate Snoop Dogg and Tupac and taunt Kendrick, the Doggfather seemingly crossed a line by posting the song on his Instagram and co-signing Drake’s effort, despite the backlash. “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles/ I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go,” Kendrick raps on the song. Kendrick evidently felt some type of way about Snoop Dogg’s praise for Drake, especially since Snoop passed the West Coast torch to Dot. In response, Snoop tweeted, “K dot new album GNX It was the edibles west west king.”
In the midst of the Super Bowl halftime show fallout, only a few people emerged with congratulatory messages for Kendrick Lamar. One of which was Nas, who also congratulated Kendrick on the release of GNX shortly after its release. “Always inspired by my brother KL. Keeping the essence of this shit alive and at the forefront. Salute King!” Nas captioned his latest post.
Diddy
Though his name appears to be omitted, Kendrick seemingly acknowledged the reckoning that the music industry is currently facing.
“Okay, f*ck your hip-hop, I watched the party just die N**gas cackling about— while all of y’all is on trial N**gas thought that I was antisocial when I stayed inside of my house You better off to have one woman, everything tricky right now”
Some interpreted this as a shot at Diddy while others speculated that Kendrick might be referring to Young Thug and Lil Durk. However, Diddy’s trial has produced several unsavory memes, such as the term “No Diddy,” the baby oil memes, or the speculation surrounding “Diddy parties,” which makes this more likely the reference. Moreover, his claims against Drake on “Not Like Us” and “meet the grahams” seemingly mirror some of the allegations against Diddy in his court cases.
J. Cole
In another one where names aren’t mentioned, Kendrick seemingly takes a few digs at J. Cole who has willingly taken more Ls than Drake this year. With the release of “Port Antonio,” Cole attempted to address his position in the feud and his fear of “losing a bro” while maintaining that he’s a formidable opponent in the booth.
Twice on “wacced out murals,” Kendrick seemingly addresses J. Cole’s attempt to both sides his way through the beef. First, he mentions, “F*ck apologies, I wanna see y’all geeked up,” which feels like it could reference Cole’s initial statements at Dreamville Festival where he vowed to pull “7 Minute Drill” off of DSPs and offered an apology to Kendrick. The second time in the song where Kendrick appears to reference the feud is in the third verse when he raps, “Ayy, fuck anybody empathetic to the other side, I vow/ A bitch n***a love bitch n***as, they exist with ’em in style/ Exterminate ’em right now.” Since “Port Antonio” was Cole’s attempt to thwart the narrative surrounding his decision to bow out, it appears that Kendrick isn’t giving J. Cole as much grace as he’d like.
Andrew Schulz
Andrew Schulz reacts to Kendrick Lamar seemingly dissing him on his new album ‘GNX’
Even Andrew Schulz caught a stray on “wacced out murals.” Toward the end of the song, Kendrick seemingly references Schulz’s controversy with James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, the British podcasters who apologized after engaging in some edgy misogynoir banter on the Flagrant podcast. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” Kendrick says. “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?” Schulz said in response to the line, according to DJ Akademiks.
Katt Williams
Before the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake exploded, Katt Williams set the tone for 2024, and it appears that Dot channeled that spirit. Katt Williams sat down with Club Shay Shay at the beginning of the year for an explosive interview where he aired out his grievances with the entertainment industry, calling out everyone from Steve Harvey to Diddy. So when Dot raps, “Make Katt Williams ‘nem proud, the truth ‘bout to get loud,” we can imagine that he’s readying the world for a rude awakening.
Ice Cube has explained the intention behind his lyrics about Kendrick Lamar on his new single, “It’s My Ego.” On the song, Cube raps: “I was Kendrick before Kendrick/Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, like Jimi Hendrix.” Speaking about the song during an appearance on an interview with SiriusXM’s Rock the Bells Radio, Cube discussed how he views Lamar as being similar to himself.
“Just, you know, a provocative artist,” Cube explained, as caught by Entertainment Weekly. “An artist that said what I felt, put it all out there, very critical of the system and the government and what we have to go through as Black people in this country. I think he’s the same kind of artist: a thought-provoking artist. I was that before he was.”

It’s not the first time Cube has praised Lamar this year. Discussing his beef with Drake, he previously expressed his approval of the feud and declared Lamar the winner. “I approve of the beef,” he said on the Big Pod with Shaq. “I always approve of rap battles. That’s the essence of the game… As long as it doesn’t get physical, ’cause that’s not rap. When it get physical, that’s just street crime.” He added: “I think Kendrick is up, I think he’s landed the more hard and effective punches, so to speak.”

Lord Jamar says that The Notorious B.I.G. is responsible for some of the most “out-of-pocket” lyrics of all time. He discussed the legendary rapper’s music during a recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue which touched on the arrest of Diddy. Authorities charged the Bad Boy mogul with alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, but he’s already pleaded not guilty.
“Biggie has some of the most out-of-pocket lyrics of any rapper ever and hopefully there will never be a rapper with worse lyrics,” Jamar began. “But there’s so much sh*t that Biggie said that people just overlooked at the time and now, when we fast-forward to where we’re at, and hear about all the sh*t with Puff, now, certain things are not aging. It was bad back then but it’s aging even worse.” He further remarked: “I don’t care how good a woman looks, I would never give fellatio to her father because she’s so beautiful.” From there, Jamar brought up a rumor about a transgender model allegedly appearing in the music video for “Big Poppa.”

In response to Jamar’s comments, several users on social media came to Biggie’s defense. “Nahhhh don’t connect it to Puff,” one fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. “Biggie was intentionally being provocative because he could. His wordplay was out of this world and sometimes he had to dabble in darkness for emphasis.” Another user wrote: “Lord Jamar talking about Big and Puff are the only way he’s getting any attention. He’s not even saying anything original smh.”

Prosecutors in the YSL RICO trial messed up big time this week as they formally submitted the full list of song lyrics they intend to use as evidence in the case. The extensive list includes misattributed lyrics, incorrect release dates, and lyrics from songs completely unrelated to YSL. In one example, one of the lyrics listed is actually from a YNW Melly song. Check out the prosecution’s full list below.
The use of lyrics as evidence is a pretty controversial topic, with several states having passed laws to restrict the practice. However, it’s considered admissible in Georgia, and something the Fulton County DA has vocally supported. “I think if you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m going to use it. I’m going to continue to do that; people can continue to be angry about it. I have some legal advice: Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics if you do not want them used. Or at least get out of my county. I’m not targeting anyone, but you do not get to commit crimes in my county and then decide to brag on it. Which you do as a form of intimidation, and not be held responsible,” Fani Willis told reporters at the start of September.
Note – The state has made some mistakes, such as attributing lyrics to the wrong song, putting incorrect release dates, or even listing lyrics belonging to rappers that aren’t in the YSL RICO case, such as YNW Melly. pic.twitter.com/k2IFkH0fgz
However, it’s not just lyrics that are being used against the YSL defendants. Young Thug’s 2015 conversation with police about his YSL co-defendant shooting up Lil Wayne’s tour bus was ruled as admissable evidence last week. “[Young Thug] waived his Miranda rights before speaking with Detective Raissi and Agent Cunningham. His statements to them were voluntary and thus admissible. The evidence presented showed that [Young Thug] voluntarily waived his Miranda rights, despite his refusal to sign the Miranda waiver form, after [Young Thug] was read his rights. An oral waiver of Miranda is a proper waiver of such rights,” Judge Glanville said.
Earlier this year, the YSL member who was convicted of the bus shooting, Jimmy “PeeWee” Winfrey, was arrested in Las Vegas. Winfrey had been on the run since 2022, going underground after the initial indictments against YSL were handed down. He was indicted on four charges relating to the RICO case and later extradited to Georgia from Nevada. Winfrey was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the bus shooting but was released in 2020. This was due to efforts to lower prison populations during the early days of the pandemic. Furthermore, he is expected to face re-trial and re-sentencing on the shooting charges.
Mase and Cam’ron got into a battle of pause-worthy lyrics on the latest episode of their sports talk show, It Is What It Is. In particular, Mase resurfaced Cam’ron’s bars on The Diplomats’ 2003 track, “Gangsta.”
“What song is this?” Mase said through laughter, as noted by HipHopDX. “It says: ”Cause I follow for figures, my hollow and triggers/ Swallow a n***a like a bottle of liquor.’ What did you mean by that?” Cam’ron responded with laughs, “Bet. I can’t wait.” Mase admitted that his fans online helped him find the lyrics. “Soon as you said that yesterday they sent me all your lyrics,” Mase revealed. “You know n****s on Instagram is petty.”

It’s far from the first time Mase and Cam’ron have trolled each other on the show. When the two pulled up to the USC and Colorado football game, last month, in Boulder, Cam took issue with Mase watching from USC’s sidelines. “I told n****s had everything laid out for you. You had your own suite ready, they had the car service ready for you, catering, and once n****s start losing. How the fuck you get on the USC sideline? … You embarrassed me, man… People seen that it was a little embarrassing for me, man.” Mase tried to explain: “I was up there getting a Smashburger and they took me to the USC side. Once I started take pictures with people, USC guys they grabbed me. I came in through the regular gate. I took the kids to get the experience. By the time I got in there, I couldn’t get in the Colorado side.” Check out the latest episode of the show below.
Mase & Cam’ron Reflect On Pause-Worthy Lyrics
Cam’ron and Mase have been hosting It Is What It Is throughout 2023. Back in August, they inked a massive deal with Underdog Fantasy. Be on the lookout for further updates on the talk show on HotNewHipHop.
When it comes to unfiltered personalities and unabashedly honest rappers, few can compare to the perspective of JT. Moreover, the City Girl is always on social media speaking her mind on a variety of issues, whether it’s her relationship life, their haters, or the most random of topics. However, that’s a tough attitude to keep up consistently, especially with a diverse and huge fanbase that will never line up perfectly with your views. Furthermore, she recently took to Twitter to ask fans if she’s gone a bit too far in some places. Specifically, it refers to the Florida MC’s recorded material and whether or not it’s too raunchy.
JT screenshotted and posted the following lyrics from the City Girls track “Tonight” off of their brand new album RAW: “P***y on his nose, on my period, Rudolph.” “I always told y’all rapping nasty be hard for me, lmao,” she wrote as her Twitter caption. “I be going too far when I do cause I be trying to relate to the freaks. Did I take it too far saying this?” Would you folks say the “No Bars” spitter’s onto something or is she just exaggerating?
Of course, this is far from the first- and won’t be the last- conversation about provocative or lewd lyricism in hip-hop. Sure, we usually don’t get artists like JT turning around on them so quickly; rather, they usually stand by them for a while. But everyone’s got a different take on how raunchy you can get in a song, and it’s something that’s bleeding into more fanbases than ever. For example, if a City Girls track were to go viral with a clean snippet on TikTok, how might a new listener react when they check out the full song in all its uncensored glory?
Meanwhile, at least the 30-year-old has plenty more opportunities to work on her “nasty” rapping. She announced that she’s hard at work on a solo project following the release of RAW. Let’s hope that, instead of explicit material or safe lyricism, the focus is on the music being fantastic at its core. For more news and the latest updates on JT and City Girls, stay up to date on HNHH.
Billie Eilish is easily one of the biggest pop stars in the entire world. Overall, she is someone who is constantly being referenced in songs. For instance, she is the title of a viral hit that took TikTok by storm. However, the artist has taken quite a bit of time in between her latest project and now. It remains to be seen when she is going to drop a new album. That said, her fans are always curious as to what she has planned. For now, the artist just wants to take advantage of her free time, which is always a good idea.
As for her being referenced in songs, you may have noticed that she is namedropped on the new Drake album. On For All The Dogs, Drake teams up with Lil Yachty on the track “Another Late Night.” During this track, Yachty comes through with some NSFW bars in which he says, “I let her go, she fine as hell but baby wasn’t stylish / She had big t*ts like Billie Eilish, but she couldn’t sing (Drip).” Well, as it turns out, Billie heard the lyrics, and she is actually a fan.
In the Instagram post above, you can see a photo dump of sorts. Throughout the images, you will see Eilish’s new back tattoo, as well as some of the activities she has been doing. On the second image, however, we get a lyric card from “Another Late Night,” and wouldn’t you know it, it is of Yachty’s aforementioned bars. Simply put, it appears as though Eilish is co-signing what Yachty had to say. Eilish could have very easily been offended, but instead, she has decided to take it in stride.
Perhaps Eilish and Yachty can give us a collab sometime soon. They both like to experiment with sound, and we think a collab between these two would be very interesting. Let us know what you think of Eilish’s response to Yachty, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.
The Exorcist continues to haunt viewers to this day. Fifty years after its initial theatrical release, it still stands as a seminal piece of work in the horror genre. However, beyond horror, its long-lasting impact on pop culture remains prominent. By extension, hip-hop has similarly immortalized the film’s legacy over the years, whether referencing Linda Blair’s portrayal of Regan or samples of “Tubular Bells Pt. 1″ by Mike Oldman.” So, with Exorcist: The Believer hitting theatres on Friday, Oct. 6th, we decided to round up 7 times hip-hop has referenced the iconic horror film.
My flesh no n***a could test, my soul is possessed By D’evils in the form of diamonds and Lexuses The Exorcist got me doin’ sticks Like, “Homie, you don’t know me But the whole world owe me, strip!”
On the highlight from Reasonable Doubt, Jay-Z references the iconic horror film but not in a way that discusses exercising demons. Instead, he speaks on the lust for material possessions and the lengths people will reach to obtain luxury goods.
Kanye West – “Mercy” Ft. Pusha T, 2 Chainz & Big Sean
Check the neck, check the wrist Them heads turnin’: that’s exorcist My Audemars like Mardi Gras That’s Swiss time, and that’s excellence
Although a brief mention of The Exorcist, the reference to the infamous scene involving Linda Blair helps Pusha T portray his lavish lifestyle. Not one to hold back on his fashion sensibilities, Pusha T issues a firm reminder that he’s making a massive statement with his jewels every time he steps out.
Taken from his classic 2015 album, Shadow Of A Doubt, producers J Reid and Speakerbomb craft a haunting beat for one of Freddie Gibbs’ most vulnerable cuts in his catalog. The producers chop up Mike Oldman’s “Tubular Bells,” slowing down the sample and transforming it into an even more chilling soundscape.
While the theme song for The Exorcist has been sampled on numerous occasions – beyond Freddie Gibbs’ “Forever & A Day” – there are a number of artists who’ve sampled the film itself. For example, Cypress Hill’s “Stoned Raiders” from 1995’ III: Temples of Boom. Produced By DJ Muggs, the California weed-smoking group samples Father Lankester Merrin’s dialogue in the middle of the exorcism of Regan.
Perhaps the most subtle reference included in this list comes from the $uicideboy$. On their 2016 project, Radical $uicide, they dished out “Memoirs Of A Gorilla,” which actually samples Regan’s laugh. It’s a subtle sound effect that creeps into the song’s intro, adding eerie textures to the grim soundscape.
What was intended to be a glorious win in Nicki Minaj’s rap career turned into a controversial performance. In 2012, the rapper debuted her single, “Roman’s Holiday,” on the Grammy stage, equipped with a theatrical backdrop that boasted plenty of religious references, including a man dressed as a bishop and a fake priest. But, the performance ultimately centered around her alter-ego, Roman Zolanski, who was in need of an exorcism. Dubbed “The Exorcism Of Roman Zolanski,” Nicki delivered a contentious yet memorable performance that paid homage to the classic horror film.
It wouldn’t be right to exclude Three 6 Mafia from this list, especially when you consider their contribution to the horrorcore genre. DJ Paul’s affinity for horror movies has been well-documented throughout the years. “Threesixafix” stands as a notable deep cut in Three 6 Mafia’s vast catalog and appeared on E-40 and B-Legit’s Southwest Riders compilation. On “Threesixafix,” they transform Mike Oldman’s “Tubular Bells Pt. 1” into a gritty Memphis banger filled with ostentatious, murderous bars that are only fitting for Halloween.
Over the weekend, Latto released her new song “ISSA PARTY.” Unsurprisingly, the track is a party anthem that sees her teaming up with Georgia rapper BabyDrill. The song deploys a bit of interpolation, borrowing some lyrics and refrains from Waka Flocka Flame’s song “It’s A Party.” Some fans online immediately called her out, thinking that it went beyond just reference into straight-up stealing. “if i’m waka flocka my lawsuit was filed yesterday” one tweet responding to the original video read.
Flocka apparently caught the tweet and wanted to clear the air about his thoughts on the song. “flattery at this highest…. never understood why rob these youngsters for showing us respect plus Lotto from Clayton County.” he responded. His answer is pretty definitive, cosigning both Latto as an artist and the song itself. That’s no surprise given that the two have been spotted hanging out before. Just over the weekend, they were hanging out together enjoying themselves at a strip club. Check out Flocka’s tweet below.
Latto’s new song is off to a solid start. The track has already racked up over 550k streams on Spotify with another almost 400k views of the music video on YouTube. She already has a pair of hits under her belt this year, the first one coming alongside Cardi B. They teamed up for “Put It On Da Floor Again” which debuted at number 13 on the Hot 100 and is sticking around at the very last song on last week’s charts.
Her second hit of the year skyrocketed to the very top spot on the charts. “Seven” saw Latto teaming up with K-Pop star Jung Kook and their song debuted at the number one spot in its first week. The song remains on the chart sitting at number 53 in last week’s countdown. What do you think of Waka Flocka Flame’s response to Latto interpolating his lyrics in her new song? Let us know in the comment section below.
