Hit-Boy Purchases Home He Previously Lost Due To Financial Struggles

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Hit-Boy took to social media to show off how his hard work has paid off. In a new clip, the performer is seen sitting around a table alongside various other, working on designing his new home. While his “dream estate” is certainly impressive, it’s even more impressive that he can now afford to buy it, when at one point he couldn’t even afford to rent it.

“Some of y’all might remember when i went on akademiks podcast and talked about falling on hard times back around 2017,” he captioned the clip. “Crzy how life works i just bought the property in beverly hills i was renting then and couldn’t afford at the time and now im designing my dream estate on it. [praying hands emoji] stay focused stay motivated keep going.”

“Inspiration on top of inspiration,” he added. Plenty of Hit-Boy’s fans and peers are sounding off in his comments section, praising him for how far he’s come.
“Yea!!!” Ty Dolla Sign wrote alongside various fire emojis. 2 Chainz also chimed in, calling the major accomplishment “hard.” Clearly, Hit-Boy couldn’t be more proud of himself, and followers can’t blame him.

Hit-Boy’s new home isn’t the only thing he has to be proud of these days, however. At the end of last month, he dropped off a new collaboration alongside Rapsody, “Asteroids.” The fittingly-titled track centers around dodging hate and disrespect, and coming out on the other side knowing one’s own worth. It was also recently revealed that he’s nominated for a Grammy. He’s in the running for Producer Of The Year alongside Jack Antonoff, Metro Boomin, Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II, and Daniel Nigro. What do you think of Hit-Boy buying the property that he previously lost due to his financial struggles?

Tyga Completes Court-Ordered Parenting Class Amid Blac Chyna Custody Battle

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, it was reported that Tyga has officially completed his court-ordered online parenting class amid he and Blac Chyna’s custody battle over their son, King Cairo. The news comes only days after Blac Chyna reportedly completed her own parenting class, a requirement for custody disputes. The reality star filed for joint custody of the 11-year-old back in July. She also requested that the artist start paying her child support, claiming that she’s yet to see any since the child was born.

He fired back, claiming that there’s no reason he should have to pay her. According to him, he cares for King Cairo throughout most of the week, in addition to paying $40K per year for the child’s schooling. In response to Chyna’s filing, Tyga also filed for full custody of their son. Blac Chyna claimed that she didn’t know where his filing was coming from, calling it “sad.” She further expressed interest in developing a healthy co-parenting relationship with the performer, as she feels it’s what’s best for the elementary schooler.

Reportedly, Blac Chyna also wanted to settle their dispute outside of court, but her former partner refused. “You have obviously more money than me,” she explained on Nick Viall’s The Viall Files podcast in October. “Why can’t we just settle this stuff outside of court, like [by] talking to you? He didn’t wanna do that, so now I have to go to court… We both don’t need this… The whole world’s watching, and it’s like, ‘We could’ve just had a conversation, man.’”

What Is Cam’ron’s Best- Selling Album?

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Since the 90s, Cam’ron’s been an undeniable force in the culture. The early 2000s saw his rise as the de facto leader of The Diplomats while his solo outings made an evident dent on the charts. Although he has since embarked on a journey as an entrepreneur and sports analyst via It Is What It Is with Ma$e, he has left an indelible mark on the rap scene with his prolific discography. With an impressively deep catalog of both albums, EPs, and mixtapes, Come Home With Me stands out as one of his best-selling records, achieving platinum status.

Sales And Achievements Of Come Home With Me

2002’s Come Home With Me marked a significant milestone in Cam’ron’s career. After years of grinding, he completed his time with Epic, formally moving over to Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records, where he achieved great commercial success. Come Home With Me is a testament to that. It showcased Cam’ron’s evolution as an artist and his ability to merge street narratives with catchy hooks, that introduced the flamboyant and flagrant style of Harlem to the world. With over a million copies sold, its impact extended beyond the core hip-hop fanbase and turned him into a household name.

Singles And Cultural Impact

The album boasted hit singles like “Oh Boy” featuring Juelz Santana and “Hey Ma” with Juelz Santana, Freekey Zekey, and Toya. These tracks became anthems representing the essence of early 2000s hip-hop that continue to carry weight today. “Oh Boy” topped Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, while “Hey Ma” achieved widespread popularity, becoming a club and radio favorite. Their infectious beats and memorable lyrics contributed significantly to the album’s cultural impact.

Comparative Analysis with Other Cam’ron Albums

In contrast to Come Home With Me, Cam’ron’s other albums have showcased diverse styles and themes. Purple Haze, released in 2004, is often hailed by fans as a standout project. While it didn’t reach the same commercial success as Come Home With Me, it garnered critical acclaim for its innovative production and Cam’ron’s lyrical prowess. Additionally, Confessions of Fire, his debut studio album, introduced him as a solo artist under Untertainment and Epic Records. Come Home With Me is undoubtedly the biggest album in Cam’s catalog but it’s quite clear how projects like Confessions Of The Fire and S.D.E. laid down the foundation for this success.

In Conclusion

Come Home With Me remains a cornerstone in Cam’ron’s illustrious career, achieving platinum status and leaving an enduring impact on hip-hop culture. Its chart-topping singles and widespread acclaim solidify its significance among fans and critics alike. However, other albums in Cam’ron’s repertoire, such as Purple Haze and Confessions Of Fire, also hold distinct positions in his discography, showcasing his growth and artistry. As Cam’ron continues to influence the rap landscape, his albums stand as testaments to his enduring legacy in the music industry.

In summary, while Come Home With Me stands as Cam’ron’s best-selling album with its platinum status and impactful singles, his other albums offer a diverse tapestry of his skills, cementing his position as a hip-hop icon among his loyal fanbase.
