The Game Destroys Rick Ross On New Diss Song “Freeway’s Revenge”

by

The Game loves to battle. Few popular rappers have picked more fights than the Compton spitter. He went at 50 Cent, he disrespected Dr. Dre, and he penned a ten-minute song aimed at Eminem called “The Black Slim Shady.” Anybody can get it as far as Game is concerned, and Rick Ross is his latest target. The Game had been throwing shots at Ross during the first week of May. He taunted Rozay’s weight and posted an AI photo of the boss running on his Instagram Story. There was a beef on the horizon and Game crystalized it on May 10 with “Freeway’s Revenge.”

The Game does not waste any time playing nice. The literal opening lines of the song see him rap about cutting Rick Ross’ stomach open and stuffing bricks in it. It’s a horrifying visual, and a clever riff on the Miami rapper’s imagined kingpin persona. “I can see the b*tch in him,” Game raps with seething anger. “You 12 lemon pepper wings away from a heart attack.”

Once again, he goes at Ross’ weight, and ties things back to the aforementioned AI photo. Rozay is running, like we said, but he’s also dressed like a corrections officer outfit and ducking a cop while carrying a bucket of chicken. Subtle? Nope. Effective for a diss? Very much so.

The Game Uses Rick Ross’ Own Flow To Diss Him

The Game then proves that he’s been keeping tabs on the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle by making reference to DJ Akademiks and Kai Cenat. Both streamers have been instrumental in covering the big battle of 2024, and it sounds like the Compton rapper wants some of the action. “Akademiks, get this n**ga Ozyempic starter pack,” he spits. “Kai Cenat, hit the room, turn that stream on.” The Game also references Drake and Kendrick Lamar by name. “This ain’t the Kendrick beef,” he adds. “My Drake sing song shots ring out.”

The rapper regains his focus during the second half of the diss, thankfully. He stops name-dropping other people and lays into Ross over his law enforcement past. He also pulls out a trick he used on the Eminem diss by emulating Rozay’s voice and referencing the rapper’s old lyrics. The instrumental switch furthers the menacing vibe, sounding like the sort of lavish sound that the MMG label boss usually raps over himself.

The Game doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know about Rick Ross, but it is a pretty entertaining diss. Let’s see where it goes.

Ice Spice Sets The ‘Y2K’ Vibes With Her New Single, ‘Gimmie A Light’

by

Ice Spice is back! Earlier this year, the Bronx native announced she is gearing up to release her hotly anticipated debut album, Y2K. Tonight (May 10), she has finally shared some new music. Her newest single, “Gimmie A Light,” offers some early aughts nostalgia.

“Gimmie A Light” features a sample of Jamaican dancehall artist Sean Paul’s 2002 hit, “Gimme The Light” — an ode to dancefloors and weed. Ice’s single comprises of the same energy, with a bit of a modern twist.

“Hot boxin’ the V, like, give me a light / Fat ass so the pants fit tight / Took her man, I’m gettin’ him right / Big knock, like, why would I fight?,” Ice raps on the song’s chorus.

Over the past year, Ice has been rumored to be in a beef with fellow rapper Latto. Back in January, Ice released “Think U The Sh*t (Fart) which was thought to be aimed at Latto, to which Latto replied with “Sunday Service,” the video for which was filmed in Latto’s old neighborhood.

But now, it appears Ice isn’t fazed by any rumored feuds. Elsewhere in the song, Ice raps “No, I don’t got any opps / Like, why would I beef with a flop?”

You can listen to “Gimme A Light” above.

Megan Thee Stallion Is A Venomous Game Character Who Can’t Be Played In Her New Video For ‘BOA’

by

Megan Thee Stallion is spewing that venom. Last year, the Houston rapper dropped “Cobra,” her pro-mental health track on which she details the trauma she endured over the prior four years. Earlier this year, she dropped “Hiss,” on which, she called out those who had betrayed her and sneaked dissed her while she was in pain. Continuing upon the snake theme, tonight (May 10), Meg has dropped her new single, “BOA.”

On “BOA,” Meg leaves no stone unturned as she fires shots at the opps who have tried her over the past few months.

“I keep it real, I keep it sexy, calling for backup before they address me,” she raps, alluding to certain rivals who assembled armies to team up against her. She also notes her unmatched ability to keep cool under pressure, calling out those who “Do all of that typing, but never once did I get pressed.”

In the song’s accompanying video, produced by SixTwentySix and directed by Daniel Igleslias Jr., three friends play a mysterious game, in which they attempt to defeat a serpent woman. But they quickly find out they’ve made a huge mistake, as the Serpent woman proves that she is indestructible, and that she is here for vengeance.

Next month, Meg will embark on her much-anticipated Hot Girl Summer Tour with fellow rapper GloRilla. She is also expected to release her third studio album.

Future Didn’t Drop The Mixtape He Teased And Fans Are Confused

by

Future’s work ethic is legendary. He dropped mixtapes every other month in the mid-2010s, and he just dropped two collab albums with Metro Boomin. You know, the ones that started the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle. Pluto has thrown shots at the 6 God here and there, but it seemed like he was moving on from the battle to focus on new music. He got on X (formerly Twitter) and set the Freebanz fanbase on fire with two announcements. “May 10” and “Mixtape Pluto.” Even those who practice Foxy Brown math know what this meant: new mixtape on May 10.

Well, it turns out 2 and 2 didn’t make 4. The release date came, and there was no new tape. Instead, Future dropped a new single with Tee Grizzley titled “Swear to God.” The single absolutely slaps, with Future and Grizzley swapping bars over an animated trap beat. The confusion over there being a new mixtape stemmed from the chorus of “Swear to God.”

Future Quoted A Misleading Lyric From His New Single

Future warbles his way through different things he’ll swear to god over, but the takeaway line is: “F*ck your album, shit ain’t slapping like my mixtape.” The rapper tweeted this line a few days before the song dropped, which again made it seem like he had a whole tape ready to go.

It was good promo for “Swear to God,” but it was also a disappointing discovery for fans. Future hasn’t dropped a solo mixtape since Purple Reign in 2016, and a collab tape since Wrld on Drugs in 2018. He’s been in album mode for close to a decade, and fans wanted to hear what he sounded like with a grittier aesthetic. In Future’s defense, his delivery on the new song is definitely “mixtape Pluto” in terms of feel.

Fans Are Disappointed With Future’s Single Rollout

Fan reactions on X were mixed. Some were disappointed that they confused the rollout of a song with a whole tape. “Who tf convinced us that future was droppin a mixtape,” one user wrote. “After droppin back to back solo albums in less than a month.”

Others took a more frustrated approach, and claimed the rapper did a bad job of clarifying what was coming. “Future blew my Friday already,” they added. “Nobody wanted a weak single with Tee grizzley like what. We wanted a mixtape.”

Here are some more fan reactions to get you through the disappointment of having to wait on the next Future tape.

Scott continued to tease the collection with a video clip shared to social media, starring his frequent collaborator Kanye West and directed by Gabriel Moses.

Kendrick Lamar Copyright Strikes Edited Version Of “Meet The Grahams”

by

Kendrick Lamar is standing by what he said. “Meet the Grahams” was one of the most devastating diss songs ever put out. Over a haunting Alchemist beat, Lamar laid into his opponent, Drake, and laid out all the reasons why the Toronto rapper is a phony. He addressed Drake’s son and both his parents, but the biggest revelation came in the song’s third verse. Lamar addressed an unnamed daughter, claiming the rapper has an 11-year-old that he has neglected to raise since rising to fame. It was a shocking moment, and one that’s been examined with a lot of scrutiny.

Many claim Lamar is making the daughter up. Some have even posited that Drake fed the rapper’s camp bad information in an attempt to bait him. There’s been no evidence to prove either theory. Fans have to decide what the truth is for themselves.

Some are so put off by the so-called “lie” Lamar told that they went the extra mile and took the third verse out of “Meet the Grahams.” Rap Radar‘s Elliot Wilson posted an edited version of the song on May 8. Lamar was not a fan of this change, however.

Kendrick Lamar Removed A Version With Omitted Lyrics

The rapper filed a copyright violation against the edited version of “Meet the Grahams.” It was quickly taken down from social media platforms. Punch, Lamar’s former label mate at Top Dawg Entertainment, criticized the very concept of the edited version. He reposted Wilson’s tweet with a rhetorical question for the journalist. “Why would you request for it to be edited anyway,” he asked. “Did you ask for edits on anything else?”

Kendrick Lamar’s decision to take down the edited “Meet the Grahams” was no accident. The rapper has been very hands-on with song rollout over the last few months. He removed the copyrights for his Drake disses, meaning content creators who review “Meet the Grahams” or “Not Like Us” can profit from their videos. This was an unprecedented move, and one that earned Lamar lots of praise from online creators. It’s obvious the censoring of his work is not something he’s willing to tolerate, however.

The version of “Meet the Grahams” without mention of Drake’s daughter is no more. All that remains is the rapper’s original, brutal version.

Drake Gets Second Trespasser At His Toronto Home In Two Days

by

Drake is the rap kingpin of Toronto. His moniker “6 God” is literally in reference to the city’s area code. Things have been dicey for Drake in the city, however, since he became embroiled in the Kendrick Lamar battle. His OVO store was vandalized with the title of Lamar’s latest diss, and a shooting led to a member of his security being shot in the chest. The misfortune continued on May 9. According to TMZ, the rapper was paid a visit by an unidentified trespasser.

The Toronto Police Department told TMZ they received a call around 3:30 pm ET on Thursday. The caller stated that a trespasser was walking around Drake’s property. The trespasser was arguing with Drake’s security by the time police arrived on the scene. It’s unclear what transpired between the trespasser and the rapper’s security. The former was, however, subsequently taken to the hospital. The information lines up with reports from earlier in the day, which stated that an ambulance was spotted near the rapper’s mansion. The trespasser has not been identified.

A post shared by @lilguyrespecter

It’s the second time in two days this bizarre interaction has taken place. On May 8, a different trespasser approached the front gate of Drake’s estate. Police subsequently detained the man. The rapper has not issued a statement regarding either incident. He has, however, talked about the issue of gun violence as it pertains to Toronto.

Drake appeared in the 2019 documentary Remember Me, Toronto to assert that he was firmly against it. He also spoke on how his fame makes him a target, and the difficulty he has balancing that with a desire to give back to the community.

“It’s a daunting path to try and be the biggest and baddest from your ends,” he explained. “It’s just way more impactful if you put all that energy into a grind that people remember you and say, ‘I remember that guy came around and gave us all a chance.’ Those are the people who get the glory story.” Hopefully the trend of trespassers at the rapper’s home doesn’t continue.

Benzino Admits He Doesn’t Talk To Daughter Coi Leray Anymore

by

Benzino’s career has been defined by difficult relationships. He rose to fame by picking a fight with Eminem in the 2000s, and the men continue to take shots at each other two decades later. The more tragic relationship, however, has been between Benzino and his daughter, Coi Leray. Leray has put together a successful rap career, but she’s been in a constant push-and-pull in terms of where she stands with her father. She recently claimed to have disowned Benzino after he made controversial comments about R Kelly.

Leray’s announcement was made via X (formerly Twitter) on May 1. She made it crystal clear that she will no longer have Benzino in her life. Fans may have interpreted the tweet as an impulsive response, but the latter confirmed it when he appeared on the We In Miami pod. Ironically, We In Miami is the same pod on which Benzino made his initial R Kelly comments.

Benzino Is Trying To Respect His Daughter’s Wishes

The host asked the former Source editor where he was at with his daughter, and he was brutally honest. “It’s unfortunate,” he noted. “But, you know, we don’t communicate too much. The whole thing is surreal to me… I’m a smart guy but I can’t figure this one out.” Benzino went on to interpret Leray’s side of the story, and posit a reason why she has decided to go silent. “Coi is a young lady, she independent,” he explained. This young generation, they don’t want their parents interfering with their lives man.”

Benzino’s account became even more heartbreaking when he revealed that he’s on the outs with some of his other kids as well. “I have to learn to adapt to that and respect that,” he added. “It just ain’t Coi, it’s a lot of my daughters. It’s hard for guys like me to have daughters and try to figure it out. Not the easiest thing.”

Benzino claimed that his closeness with Coi Leray was compromised when she became a popular rapper. “I was the hero,” he asserted. “My daughter looked up to me her whole life” Benzino told the host that he hopes it’s merely a phase, and that him and Leray are able to repair their relationship at some point in the future. Leray has meanwhile gotten attention for the wrong reasons on X. She recently tweeted that she was the female version of Lil Uzi Vert, and the hip-hop community let her know that wasn’t the case.

Toosii Puts Shaq On Blast For Wild DM To His Baby Mama

by

In recent days, photos of Shaq vacationing alongside his 21-year-old alleged”girlfriend” in Spain have been making their rounds online. While these photos have since been confirmed to be five years old, they’ve captured the attention of countless social media users. Toosii, for example, decided to chime in earlier today.

Instead of commenting on the rumored age gap relationship directly, the performer decided to share his own experience with the NBA icon. Apparently, Shaq once slid into the DMs of his girlfriend Samaria J Davis, with whom he shares a child. According to Toosii, he didn’t play it cool either, making his intentions perfectly clear.

Toosii Exposes Shaq For Flirting With His Girlfriend

“One time this n***a dm Samaria and said ‘let me have that baby’ talking about my son,” Toosii replied to a report about Shaq’s rumored baecation. “Weird a** old head.” He went on to share a screenshot of the DM, and sure enough, it reads exactly as he put it. “Man idk if this how old n****s flirt or what,” he also added. Based on the screenshot, Shaq sent the message in November of 2022, only months after Samaria gave birth to her and Toosii’s son Ezrah. Shaq has yet to address the racy DM.

This isn’t the first time Shaq has gotten called out for seemingly shooting his shot, however. A few months back, he posted a photo of himself standing alongside Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and more at the Super Bowl. “Ice Spice so dam fine,” he captioned the post, raising eyebrows. According to him, however, he “just wanted to show her some respect” and wasn’t actually flirting. What do you think of Shaq sliding into Toosii’s baby mama Samaria’s DMs? What about Toosii putting him on blast? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
