June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion has a lot of stiff competition when it comes to vying for that top spot in the realm of female rap. However, you can certainly make the case that not many are above her in general right now. After kickstarting her tremendous comeback late last year with “Cobra”, the Houston native has been on a roll. Her Hot Girl Summer Tour is going extremely well, and she is now just three days away from releasing her third studio album, MEGAN. But before the latter happens, Megan Thee Stallion has another exciting collaboration to share and this time it is with Amazon. The online shopping giant is nearing the launch of its 10th annual Prime Day event.

So, to bring some extra excitement and more money for the brand, they have recruited her to promote it. For those wondering, the mega sale extravaganza will begin on July 16 and run through July 17. But the way they decided to do that is to create a commercial, which includes a catchy jingle. The latter is called “It’s Prime Day (Amazon Music Original)”, and according to Amazon, it will be released as an actual song. It will be available as a bonus track and it will only be on the (Amazon Exclusive) version of MEGAN.

They range from random items to some early deals on her Hot Girl Summer tour merch collection, which is an exclusive collaboration with Amazon Music.

Remember the episode of Lil Dicky’s Dave when he visited iconic music producer Rick Rubin, and the whole experience was this mystical, surreal waking dream? That’s not far off from how a lot of people see Rubin, who has long been the kind of person to do his own thing and think in his own ways.

Well, he was at it again recently: As Variety reports, this past weekend, he hosted Festival Of The Sun, an essentially secret music festival that took place primarily in an Italian church. The event was celebrated as the summer solstice took place.

Featured at the event was an eclectic lineup including Kirtan musician Krishna Das (who has been called yoga’s “rock star”), Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey, James Blake, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne of Arcade Fire, and Rhye, among others. There was also a screening of the Nick Cave documentary This Much I Know To Be True.

Rubin welcomed about 150 invitees into the church, although there was another stage that was open to the public for free. Those in attendance included Måneskin’s Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio, actors Riccardo Scamarcio and Benedetta Porcaroli (the latter of whom stars alongside Sydney Sweeney in Immaculate), and Italian rapper Ghali.

Some photos of the event were posted on the Festival Of The Sun Instagram account, so check them out below.

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat is an artist who has had an interesting come up in the music industry. Overall, many fans became accustomed to her thanks to “Bitch I’m A Cow.” Her viral video had an Adult Swim quality to it, but it ultimately blew up and helped turn her into a huge star. Subsequently, she came out with a few extremely successful projects and singles that topped the charts. Her most recent project, Scarlet, ended up being one of the best rap albums of 2023, and showcased her proficiency as an MC.

Recently, Doja Cat found herself in Paris for Fashion Week. Numerous artists had pulled up to Fashion Week, so it should come as no surprise that someone as stylish as Doja would end up being there. At one point, Doja was seen in the club, where she was having a good time. However, at one point, she offered up an NSFW message to whoever was filming her. She put up her phone to her head, as the screen displayed a message saying “My Throat Bored.”

Overall, there were plenty of people in the comments shooting their shots. Although it remains to be seen if Doja will give any of them the time of day.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Doja Cat is getting involved in too many antics?

Busta Rhymes’ Suspicious Weight Gain Goes Viral & Fans Are Conflicted

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The internet is a confusing place, and it always will be. It is hard to tell what is real and what is fake anymore. That is the exact sentiment us and a lot of fans are sharing right now pertaining to a viral photo of Busta Rhymes suggesting some serious weight gain. A X user (formerly Twitter) by the name of dirtywhiteups shared an alleged accurate side-by-side comparison of the legendary rapper just 20 days apart. To the left you can see a slimmer Busta in a white polo. Then, on the right, it shows the Brooklyn spitter donning a baby blue turtleneck sweater with a noticeable gut. In the caption, dirtywhiteups writes, “These two photos of Busta Rhymes are 20 days apart. Ozempic: 0 Oxtail: 1”.

Right now, fans are pretty much split in half as to whether or not this image is real. Some are in utter shock, while others feel the image on the right is from a few years ago or so. A few were also joking around saying that it is “probably gas”. If you head over to Busta Rhymes’ Instagram, he has some posts from just over a week ago. In them, he does not look nearly the same as this alleged recent photo.

Is This Busta Rhymes Weight Gain Real?

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Furthermore, just over a month ago, Busta shared some flicks from the sideline of the New York Knicks home playoff game against the Indiana Pacers. In those he looked incredibly slim, and fans were quick to praise him for it. According to the Atlanta Black Star, Busta has not commented on his ever-changing weight gain/loss. However, like the tweet suggests, this could be a symptom of Ozempic withdrawal, which causes people to overeat and put on a substantial amount of weight if they are attempting to stop taking it. But Busta has not admitted to using Ozempic either, so we will not know unless he decides to clear things up.

What are your thoughts on Busta Rhymes’ apparent weight gain? Do you think this is real or fake and why? Should Busta respond to this viral photo going around, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Busta Rhymes.

AI Companies Tied To Creation Of “BBL Drizzy” Are Being Sued By The RIAA

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The RIAA is taking a stand against the highly controversial use of AI in music. According to AllHipHop and CNN, The Recording Industry Association of America is filing two lawsuits against a pair of companies in the space for their contributions to the creation of “BBL Drizzy”. The latter quickly went viral during its use in the Drake versus Kendrick Lamar beef, mainly due to Metro Boomin. The superstar producer initiated a challenge to other rappers to give their best stuff over the instrumental. Whoever won the contest would receive $10,000 reward and a free beat. However, the original “BBL Drizzy” sample can be credited to internet comedian, King Willonius.

The latter used the AI platform, Udio, which is itself developed by Uncharted Labs. The RIAA is targeting the latter, as well as Suno. The organization feels it is entirely necessary to approach it in this way because they feel that both are performing “blatant infringement”. Neither Uncharted Labs nor Suno have commented on the impending legal action, according to CNN.

The RIAA Is Fighting Against AI & “BBL Drizzy”

In the paperwork from the RIAA, their overarching argument is this, “If developed with the permission and participation of copyright owners, generative AI tools will be able to assist humans in creating and producing new and innovative music. [But] without regard for fundamental copyright protections”, there could be “irreparable harm”, as well as a “[reduction] the quality of new music”. Furthermore, the RIAA adds, “These digital music files have been released to the public—some already finding their way onto the major streaming services—and compete with the copyrighted sound recordings that enabled their creation; yet Suno sought no permission from and gives no credit or compensation to the human artists or other rightsholders whose works fueled their creation”.

What are your thoughts on the RIAA suing two AI companies for their contributions to the “BBL Drizzy” sample? How do you see this lawsuit playing out and why? Do you think if these entities are sued, it could deter further developments? Was this “BBL Drizzy” challenge a top five moment in the Drake versus Kendrick battle? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding this lawsuit. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
