French Montana Officially Has The Most-Streamed Song From New York

New York contains many of the most important figures in rap history and some of its biggest stars today. From veterans like Nas and Jay-Z to contemporary stars like Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice the city has been home to some of the biggest names to ever pick up a mic. That’s why many are surprised by the new most-streamed rap song to come from NYC, “Unforgettable” by French Montana. Montana recently received a variety of new certifications on various songs of his including a platinum certification for the 2017 single.

The song recently surpassed the 2 billion stream threshold on Spotify, a rare feat for any artist to achieve. It landed on Montana’s 2017 album Jungle Rules and has racked up more streams than the rest of the songs on the album combined. The song sports a feature from Swae Lee, who was blossoming into a white hot superstar in 2017. Many fans think he played a much bigger role in the songs success than just a mere assist. “This should be Swae Lee ft. French” one of the top comments on a post announcing the news reads. “The most streamed song out of New York got carried by n*gga from Mississippi” another comment agrees. Check out the reactions to the announcement below.

French Montana And Swae Lee Break New York Streaming Record

French Montana may not be able to do the same streaming numbers he used to, which is why he resulted to some controversial tactics earlier this year. He went viral for dropping numerous versions of his new mixtape Mac & Cheese 5. Most egregiously he dropped a massive 126-track version of the project that drew plenty of ire from fans. Just a few weeks later he claimed that streaming has brainwashed artists.

What do you think of French Montana now having the most-streamed rap song in New York’s history? Do you think Swae Lee plays a bigger role to the songs success than Montana does? Let us know in the comment section below.

Memphis Bleek Claims ASAP Mob Is The Modern Day Roc-A-Fella

There were lots of New York crews fighting for hip-hop supremacy in the 2000s. Ruff Ryders, Dipset, and Terror Squad all made legitimate strides, but Roc-A-Fella ultimately came out on top. It helped that the Roc had the biggest solo star of the era in Jay-Z. Memphis Bleek was one of the rappers who held it down alongside Hov, so he got to see the absolute best that NY had to offer. It consequently carries a lot of weight when someone like him praises a crew from a younger generation.

Memphis Bleek recently discussed the lineage of New York hip-hop during a recent appearance on Fresh Pair. The rapper was asked about the lasting impact of Roc-A-Fella Records, and he claimed that nobody has surpassed it. “Some people still try to create that Roc wave,” he explained. “You got a couple people that came close.” The one Bleek has been most impressed with has been ASAP Mob. Apparently, he’s an enormous fan of what the Harlem collective has done over the last decade.

Memphis Bleek Praised ASAP Mob For Coming “Close”

“The closest team that I thought was gonna do it was the ASAP crew,” the rapper noted. “I can’t front that, they all was shakin.” It’s easy to see why Bleek was so impressed. ASAP Mob helped to popularize “cloud rap” in the mainstream courtesy of ASAP Rocky’s 2011 mixtape, Live. Love. ASAP. Rocky went on to become a bonafide pop star off the success of singles like “Goldie” and “F*ckin’ Problemz.” Ferg was the next one up, and he bolstered the Mob’s street credentials. ASAP Mob’s aesthetic also carried over to the world of fashion.

ASAP Mob agrees with Memphis Bleek’s sentiment. During a Billboard interview, the crew referenced Roc-A-Fella as a major influence. “We look up to Wu-Tang Clain, Dipset, G-Unit, Roc-A-Fella, all them n**gas before us, but we’re the best, bro,” ASAP Rocky claimed. “You can’t be mad at us thinking we’re the best.” ASAP Ant doubled down. “We, like we were one of the crews that brought it back to Wu-Tang, Roc-A-Fella Records,” he added. “We provided the wave to the new generation.”

Busta previously discussed his weight loss journey during an interview with Men’s Health back in 2023. He explained at the time that he suffered a health scare after getting intimate with his ex-wife. “That was scaring me so much that it was a mindf*ck, because I had to stay calm and make sure she didn’t hear me panic or hear me struggle to breathe,” he admitted. “I’m butt-ass naked in the living room, trying to calm myself down. She was like, ‘Yo, this is not who I fell in love with.’ She didn’t know what had happened outside, but she was looking at my body and the weight, she was like, ‘You gotta lose this weight. This breathing is scaring me. When I met you, you wasn’t like a musclehead, but you, you was slim, you was cut, you had your sh*t right. I need you to get back to who I fell in love with.’”

50 Cent Reacts To NY Governor’s Off-Base Claim About Black Kids & Computers: “WTF”

Today, a wild clip of New York Governor Kathy Hochul is making its rounds online, prompting reactions from countless social media users. “Right now, we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word computer is,” she says in the clip. “They don’t know, they don’t know these things.” She made the remark at a California conference, which focused on providing low-income communities with economic opportunities in artificial intelligence. Most can agree that she was way off-base, including 50 Cent.

The mogul took to Instagram to react to the clip yesterday with a since-deleted post. “[sad face emoji] I don’t know, any black kids that don’t know what a computer is in the Bronx. [shrugging emoji],” he wrote. “WTF They know how to work a iPad better than me. [surprised emoji].”

50 Cent Reacts To Kathy Hochul’s Wild Remark

Fif’s not alone in his take, as Hochul has since been hit with a great deal of backlash for her claim. She later retracted the statement, according to the Associated Press. “I misspoke and I regret it,” she explained. “Of course Black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI.”

“That’s why I’ve been focused on increasing economic opportunity since Day One of my Administration,” she also added. “And will continue that fight to ensure every New Yorker has a shot at a good-paying job.” What do you think of New York Governor Kathy Hochul claiming that there are kids in the Bronx who don’t know what a computer is?

Jay Critch Is Done Being Humble: On New Album, Drake Vs. Kendrick & The Secret Behind Sexyy Red & Bossman Dlow’s Success

New York’s rap scene has seen a few shifts over the past few years but none more prominent than the impact of drill music. Its rise, with the launch of Pop Smoke’s career, opened the floodgates for hundreds of budding stars out of the Big Apple to get their shine on. However, only a few artists have managed to find their sound and identity while pushing New York’s rap scene forward.

Jay Critch predates the recent developments in the Mecca of Hip-Hop. Though he’s managed to prolong the “new artist” buzz more than most, he carries himself with the confidence of a vet. That’s primarily because the new crop of artists who emerged from New York witnessed his rise in real time. 

“It’s just like I came in the game, I was young and I had to learn for myself,” he explained. “Really, that’s what I would say the biggest thing was, just figuring out the business side of everything on my own at a young age. But, I feel like that gave me an advantage because now it’s like, I’m still young and I feel like I’ve been in this shit for a while, to the point where I feel like an older bro so some of these young n***as that’s coming in.”

That leads us to the release of Humble Giant, his latest body of work released through EMPIRE. His new offering is a testament to the years of labor, especially as he attempted to navigate the music industry, from the Rich Forever era alongside Rich The Kid and Famous Dex to establishing himself as a solo artist. The 13-song LP showcases some of Critch’s best bars in his career without flooding the tracklist with redundant features. In fact, the features here are carefully curated. Each guest serves as a pathway for different pockets in Critch’s vast stylistic approach.

We caught up with Jay Critch earlier this year to discuss his latest body of work, as well as his journey through rap, his thoughts on Sexyy Red, Drake vs. Kendrick, and so much more. 

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

HotNewHipHop: Describe the title Humble Giant. Why does this title feel accurate to where your head’s at these days?

Jay Critch: Humble Giant, basically it’s like a statement for all this time, from 2017 to now, [about] just doing my thing humbly. Just focusing on my own shit and making a statement now like, stay humble but fuck being humble. Like, stand on who you are and let it be known who you are. Don’t let people forget who you are to like.

That’s why it’s a lot of statement songs on the project where a lot of the songs don’t sound too humble, you feel me? But the project – that’s the vibe of the project. Stand on your two feet and let it be known who you are type shit. But stay humble, but fuck being humble type shit. 

On “Lamar Jackson,” your first words are, “Put me anywhere on God’s green earth and I’m gonna make it work.” It speaks volumes about your resilience over the years. What has been the biggest hurdle in your career between Hood Favorite and Humble Giant

I would say just learning everything. Being from Brooklyn and shit and not having no real blueprint to look at or like to go off of or no teaching about this shit, for real. It’s just like I came in the game, I was young and I had to learn for myself. Really, that’s what I would say the biggest thing was, just figuring out the business side of everything on my own at a young age.

But, I feel like that gave me an advantage because now it’s like, I’m still young and I feel like I’ve been in this shit for a while, to the point where I feel like an older bro so some of these young n***as that’s coming in. And it’s a blessing because now, I really know how the game works. So, with Humble Giant, that’s another thing, it’s like me talking as a more big bro now in my city. More like a certified artist now, like, established. I learned the game and this how I’m talking now.

How do you feel about your position in hip-hop now? Especially since we’ve seen you grind for over a decade and now, we’re seeing you develop strong relationships with the younger generation in New York City with artists like Cash Cobain. How are those conversations with the younger generation? What type of game are you dropping on them?

Nah, it’s good, my relationship with everybody else in the city. Like, the young n***as that’s coming up – it’s great because when I talk to them, it’s like they was already in tune. It was a point in their life where they were fans. Now I got that relationship where it’s like a young up-and-coming artist from the city, they look at me like a more older, established artist. Like a big bro type sh*t. I f*ck with that. People like Cash [Cobain] — me and Cash been chopped it up a minute ago for me so it’s good to see Cash going crazy. I’ve been seeing Cash do his thing. 

With a lot of the younger artists coming up from a city, it’s like that type of relationship. It’s like they see me do my thing for all these years. So now, when it’s their time, and we get in contact with each other, it’s that type of mutual respect now. Like, they’re young, coming up, doing their thing. They already seen the whole wave I had. They was fans during that time. So it’s great to see.

Why was it important to grind all of these years on your own terms rather than taking a route that could’ve sped up that process?

For me, it’s better that way like with the type of person I am. I had to just go at my own pace with this sh*t and learn what I had to learn. If I would have came in this shit and everything was just too fast, it would have been bad because I ain’t learned what I learned now. So it’s like you got to figure some sh*t out before you could do some sh*t.

Your confidence shines across the project and you sound more comfortable than ever yet you haven’t lost your hunger as an MC. What were the stakes like while recording this project?

Really, this project is the first project I’m dropping like fully independently. Juug Season also but like Drill Season is the first one [with] no strings attached type shit. It’s just 100% independent with me and Empire. Shout out to Ghazi. So it’s like how I was feeling is like I don’t need none of these label n***as. I don’t need none of this sh*t. I don’t care that they don’t put me on all over the blogs. They don’t doing all the same things they be doing for these other n****as. I don’t care.

How I feel is I’m coming with the music. I’m talking crazy in the music and that’s what I’m gonna release. I wasn’t worried about none of the extra shit. None of that. And that’s how I feel like you could tell in the music. It’s like, “F*ck all that extra sh*t. I really don’t give a f*ck. I’m coming with the heat. That’s it.”

We’ve talked about your relationship with the younger generation of artists but generally speaking, what are your thoughts on the current state of hip-hop as a whole?

It’s watered down. Like, everybody just copying waves and just doing what’s lit. If this sound gets lit, you wake up tomorrow and everyone doing that sound. Sh*t’s crazy.  Everybody wants to use the same producers. Everybody wants to just follow – like shit’s watered down. That’s why – shout out to Cash Cobain, shout out to Chow Lee, their swag. Coming with their own sh*t, coming with their own wave for the city.  I love it because the city – it’s an original sound in New York. Like that’s what he’s supposed to be doing.

New York makes their own sh*t. We don’t follow sh*t. I love what Cash Cobain and Chow Lee are doing. Then you add Humble Giant with that, it’s like, I got my own wave, they got their own wave. It’s real New York sh*t. We ain’t followin’ no sounds, we ain’t followin’ sh*t. That’s how it’s supposed to be. We from New York.  

The big thing in hip-hop right now is Kendrick’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” What was your reaction to that verse? It’s bringing back that competitive energy in hip-hop. [Ed. note: this interview was conducted prior to Drake & Kendrick’s back-and-forth last week]

Like, I fuck with it. I don’t care who’s doing the dissing or who did this. I just liked the fact that sh*t remind me of when I was a kid. Like, you knew some new sh*t dropped and somebody gettin’ dissed and everybody talking about it. You with your friends, you in the hood, you in school or some sh*t and everybody debating and talking about it. Like, that’s real hip-hop to me. That’s what I grew up on, n***as dissing each other and going at it and sh*t, battling over album sales and sh*t. Like, that’s what I grew up on.

Nowadays, everybody wants to be friends. I liked that somebody’s coming on some static-y sh*t because, f*ck it. It’s competition. Everybody can’t be friends in this sh*t. Sh*t was refreshing. That’s how I felt when I was younger. I ain’t remember that feeling. Like, that sh*t be exciting because it’s music. Then you want to hear what people gon’ say back. It’s the whole art of this sh*t.

“Absent” is one of my favorite records on the project. It calls back to those cautionary records in hip-hop, the storytelling joints, that also feel missing in the genre these days. What was that process like behind that song? 

That song, I pulled up on my brother, Tony Seltzer, who made the beat and shout out to OJ, too, he made the beat. I pulled up to Tony’s studio and Tony got a real personal, small kind of studio. Like when you’re in there, it’s like real family vibes and shit. So I’m in there with him, Laron, a couple of my other brothers, and it’s like, he played that beat, I made that song that night. I was just feeling the emotions and everything on the beat. Like, I’m in that studio with just the fam, that sh*t just hit me different. For me, it was real personal that day. So I recorded that and it’s like that’s how sh*t came out. It felt real personal.

What’s your favorite cautionary story in hip-hop?

One of my favorites is “Miss My Love” by Fabolous. I feel like that’s one of the best storytelling songs ever. It’s not. Even though it’s more of a made-up story that he rapping about, it’s still hard as hell. Like, when I first heard that song, “I’m like, damn, like, that’s one of the best ways somebody told her story ever.” Real sh*t. 

You and Tony have developed a strong rapport including your recent appearance on his & MIKE’s Pinball. How did you connect with MIKE on “Reminiscing?”

Facts. Shout out to MIKE. My bro Tony be working a lot with him and my brother Laron, my producer. He works a lot with MIKE, too. So Tony and Laron had made the link for me to pull up to the studio and work with him for that last project. And then we had me “Reminiscing” in Brooklyn. That’s it came out fire. We made that right in the studio in Brooklyn.

You’re able to leap from doing songs with Cash Cobain and then go bar-for-bar with MIKE. Has this type of versatility been part of the game plan?

Yup, because I know a lot of the stuff that goes – the stuff that they get the most hyped for is not always the most lyrical stuff. I always like to make my turn up music and them type of vibes. Like the energy vibes – I like to make them vibes but I also always got to come back to the real bars and just how I grew up. Because when I grew up, it was it was a lot more lyrics and shit that I was listening to. But then also, when I got a little older, it’s Chief Keef and shit that I’m listening to.

I got the best of both worlds. I got all the influence from Hov and Fab and Weezy and shit when I was growing up, then I got the influence from Chief Keef and Future and these n***as from when I was listening to them when I was older. So it’s like, I like making energy songs, the feel-good source and I like making them deeper songs where I’m talking different. Either way, I’m gonna still make sure I put my balls in it and make sure I’m saying some shit.

You and Rich The Kid had a bit of a falling out but things seem to be good between you two. How were you able to repair that relationship?

N***as just had to get the business right. Brothers fight sometimes, brothers argue. We just had to go through it and get the business aspect of everything right to where me and Rich could work together, you feel me? And everything is smooth. That’s how we got it now. Me and Rich still dropping music, we’re still working together but we’re both able to move as independent artists. That’s just how sh*t is now. You’re going to see a lot more new music from me and Rich this year and the coming years.

Before I let you go, what’s one piece of advice you have for up-and-coming artists?

I would tell them to not follow no trends. Don’t follow any waves because that’s the quickest way to just be unoriginal. Like everybody that is making it now, everybody does becoming a new artist and going viral and getting lit, if you pay attention, music is changing to originality and unique sh*t. It don’t matter who it is – like Sexyy Red. She’s unique. Bossman Dlow, he got the song right now – I’m f*ckin’ with his sh*t – it’s unique.  Whether it’s the voice, delivery, people like uniqueness right now. One-of-one sh*t. You got to sound like yourself. You can’t be trying to sound like somebody else. 

If you are an artist, find your own sound. What makes you stand out? What’s different that you’re doing? Is it the ad-libs that you come with? Is it how you flowing on the sh*t? Is it your voice? Is it the beats you’re using? But it’s like, when you’re makin’ sh*t that sounds like somebody else’s sh*t, it’s mad obvious. How you feel like you ‘bout to go with that sh*t? You copying their whole flow, you’re copying their whole beat choice, like, trying to make the same type of beats as them. Everybody is copying waves so I tell young artists, don’t follow no waves. You got to make your own wave. That’s the key sh*t.

The People of New York v. Donald Trump: First Criminal Trial of U.S. President Begins

force trump cooperate ny ag leticia james

Donald Trump will once again negatively make history. Today (April 15), Trump will be the first former president to stand tiral on criminal charges. The first step in the trial will be jury selection.

Trump is required to attend each trial hearing, which, according to NBC News, could last up to eight weeks. Trump has pleaded not guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which can be punishable of up to four years in prison.

The charges are connected to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office claim Trump engaged in a plot with his former attorney, Michael Cohen, and the National Enquirer’s publisher to suppress scandalous reports about him leading up to Election Day.

One of these reports involved adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who asserted she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. Trump has refuted the allegation, and Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 in October 2016 to silence her about the claim. Subsequently, after Trump’s election, he reimbursed Cohen through payments categorized as legal expenses within his company’s records—documents the DA alleges were doctored to conceal the hush money transactions.

Trump attempted to delay the case, with focusing on the election. However, that attempt failed. Just selection is expected to last up to two weeks.

Ice T Has An NSFW Explanation For The Earthquake In New York

Ice T joked that his “morning sex” was the cause of the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the tri-state area on Friday. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and even Pennsylvania felt the rumble of the earthquake around 10:20 AM, EST. Just a couple of hours later, Ice T hopped on Twitter to provide an explanation for the experience.

“ATTENTION That was Not an Earthquake in NJ,” he tweeted. “I just like to get a little Morning Sex now and then… Everyone relax and get back to normal. My fault.” Fans shared plenty of laughs in the replies section. One joked: “Calm down damn it. These aftershocks are scary.” Ice T wasn’t the only rapper with a sexual explanation for the earthquake. Ice Spice also wrote on Twitter: “My bad for the earthquake yall u kno this ass be clappin.”

Emergency alerts began going out after the earthquake warning of possible aftershocks. “Earthquakes in this region are uncommon but not unexpected,” Paul Earle, a seismologist for the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program told reporters at a press conference. “It’s likely people near the epicenter are going to feel aftershocks for this earthquake in the magnitude 2-3 range, and there’s a small chance there can be an earthquake as large or larger, following an earthquake like this“In terms of our operations this is a routine earthquake … Immediately we knew this would be of high interest and important to people who don’t feel earthquakes a lot.” CNN reports that there were at least 10 aftershocks following the initial quake.

Ice Spice Claims She Caused Earthquake In New York Due To “Clapping”

On Friday morning (April 5), the East Coast was hit with a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, with New York being a majorly affected area along with Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and more. Joining in on the wealth of wild reactions to this online, one particular Bronx native had an interesting theory and took responsibility for the natural event. “my bad for the earthquake yall u kno this a** be clappin,” Ice Spice tweeted much to fans’ amusement and desire Friday afternoon. This also comes just a couple of days after they already thirsted for her enough for her iHeart Radio Awards fit, and it’s clear that she likes to joke around and have fun about this lust.

However, that’s definitely not the only thing that folks are bringing Ice Spice up for these days, especially in the confined space of the rap game and competition between femcees. In fact, we just got beef rumors squashed concerning one of the ladies who many thought was the most likely to be one of her opponents: Cardi B. They shared pictures of them together pointing out that there are no issues between them, despite Spice’s loyalty to Cardi’s long-rumored rival Nicki Minaj. Turns out that rap beef isn’t as shady and loyalty-based as many folks online would have you believe.

Ice Spice Assumes Responsibility For New York Earthquake

In addition, Ice Spice and Cardi B came together based on their Dominican heritage, something that centered the latter’s most recent online spat. A feud with content creator Raymonte over whether or not she’s Black saw “Princess Diana” chiming in as they discussed this cultural and racial debate. It’s not one for anyone to make assumptions about, but is nevertheless something that has followed both artists for their whole careers up to this point. Still, Spice handled it with the same bluntness, grace, and sense of humor with which she saw this earthquake.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the future will hold many more iconic online moments from her, as she always taps in with what’s happening. Most recently, the 24-year-old had an amazing appearance on Hot Ones that, unfortunately for her, was way out of her comfort zone. Do you think her career is trackable on a Richter scale or will it only get more Earth-shattering from here? Drop your thoughts in the comments and stay logged in for more news and updates on Ice Spice.

Drake’s “Energy” During & After New York Performance Suggests His Opps Have His Attention

Drake is an MC who leaves both his contemporaries and music lovers divided, meaning he’s been involved in his share of feuds and controversies over the years. Rather than getting physical with those trying his patience, the Toronto native has put out some impressive diss tracks over the years, such as “Back to Back” targeting Meek Mill and “No Shopping” with French Montana, which famously took shots at Joe Budden.

Surprisingly, Drizzy has yet to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s shade on “Like That” in an official capacity, instead seemingly addressing the drama in more subtle ways. On Friday (March 29), the father of one was on tour in New York City, where he let some of his feelings out during fan favourite, “Energy.” As the crowd at UBS Arena in Belmont Park hyped him up, Drake yelled, “I got enemies, got a lot of enemies” repeatedly before adding “F**k these ni**as.”

In the hours after wrapping up that concert, the 6ix God shared a new photo dump on social media detailing the final few days of his March. He and Lil Wayne were both all smiles as cameras caught them in the middle of their show, and Drake couldn’t resist showing off his “HotMom.com” drip. Later on in the post, the “Miss Me” hitmaker proudly showed off his son, Adonis’ basketball skills, plus a cute clip of the young one dancing from the DJ booth at a show.

Cheating on Your Spouse Now Legal in New York: What Does This Mean?

In a surprising move, New York has become the first state to make cheating on your spouse legal. This decision has left many people scratching their heads and wondering what it means for marriages in the state.

First things first, what exactly does this new law mean? It means that if you’re married and decide to have a romantic fling with someone who isn’t your spouse, you won’t get in trouble with the law. In the past, cheating could sometimes lead to legal consequences, like getting sued for damages in a divorce case. But now, that’s no longer the case in New York.

So, why did they make cheating legal? Some people argue that it’s all about personal freedom. They say that adults should be able to make their own choices about who they want to be with without worrying about breaking the law. Others think it’s about time the government stopped getting involved in people’s private lives.

But not everyone is happy about this change. Some people worry that legalizing cheating could make it harder for couples to trust each other. After all, if cheating isn’t against the law anymore, what’s stopping someone from doing it whenever they feel like it? There’s also concern that it could lead to more divorces and breakups, as people might feel they have less reason to stay faithful to their partners.

Another big question is what this means for divorce cases. In the past, cheating was often cited as a reason for getting divorced, and it could sometimes affect things like who gets custody of the kids or how much money one spouse has to pay the other. But now that cheating isn’t illegal, will it still matter in court? Experts aren’t sure yet, but it’s something to watch.

Overall, the legalization of cheating in New York has sparked a lot of debate and raised some important questions about the future of marriage and relationships in the state. Only time will tell what kind of impact it will have, but one thing’s for sure – it’s a big change that’s got many people talking.
