Travis Scott’s “Days Before Rodeo” Could Have The Biggest Hip-Hop Debut Of 2024

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo could end up being the most successful hip-hop album to debut on the Billboard 200 in 2024 as early projections for the rereleased project’s first-week sales continue to increase. According to HipHopAllDay, Days Before Rodeo is expected to sell closer to 300,000 units in the seven days following its release. The project originally dropped back in 2014, but to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Scott added it to streaming services while releasing a deluxe version that features guest appearances from Young Thug three times, Quavo, Playboi Carti, and Mike Dean.

Depending on where exactly Days Before Rodeo’s sales land, it could outrank the previous most successful hip-hop album, Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The Detroit legend dropped that effort back on July 12 and moved 281,000 album-equivalent units in the first week.

When DJ Akademiks shared the latest expectations on Instagram, fans in the comments had mixed reactions. One fan wrote: “He’d be bigger than Drake if that Astro world tragedy didn’t happen, only rapper selling out stadium’s & performing for 80k people imagine what he’d be doing if that didn’t slow down his momentum.” Others were more critical of the way he’s been earning pure sales. “Anyone with a brain knows this is bc his clothes are hot right now lol,” one user argued. “These are t shirt bundle sales [laughing emoji]. Album did 20k from streaming numbers. Its all fugazi.”

Pras’ Fails To Earn Retrial In Political Conspiracy Case After AI Scandal

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pras Michel’s attempt to get a retrial due to his lawyer’s actions during his political conspiracy case was unsuccessful. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly decided that his defense attorney using generative AI for his closing arguments wasn’t enough to warrant a serious miscarriage of justice. The AI program notably attributed lyrics from Diddy’s song, “I’ll Be Missing You,” to Michel, among other errors. Despite this, Kollar-Kotelly didn’t feel the mistakes were enough to impact the jury’s ruling.

“Michel does not explain how this mistake—the mistaken attribution of a Puff Daddy song in the closing argument—resulted in prejudice. Specifically, Michel has not shown that there is a reasonable probability that the result of his trial would have differed had Kenner correctly attributed a lyric to him,” Kollar-Kotelly said, as caught by AllHipHop. “Notably, the content derived from the AI program did not relate to any evidence in the case, only general sympathetic statements and one lyrical quote.”

Pras Arrives At His Trial In Washington D.C.

WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 31: Pras Michel, a member of the 1990’s hip-hop group the Fugees, arrives at U.S. District Court on March 31, 2023 in Washington, DC. Michel is on trial for his alleged participation in a campaign finance conspiracy. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)

The jury in the trial found Michel guilty on a total of 10 counts. They include conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. The prosecution accused him of funneling money from Malaysian financer Jho Low into influencing various United States government actions. He allegedly pumped money into Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign as well as influencing an extradition case on behalf of China during Donald Trump’s presidency.

The judge didn’t set a date for Pras’ sentencing, but he’s currently out of jail until that happens. He recently made headlines for dropping a Lauryn Hill diss track after the Fugees canceled several tour dates. Be on the lookout for further updates on Pras Michel on HotNewHipHop.

DDG & Halle Bailey React To Halo Becoming A Hilarious Meme

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the end of last year, Halle Bailey and DDG welcomed their first child, a son named Halo. The baby arrived amid rampant pregnancy rumors, which both of them continuously denied. Since Halo’s birth, they’ve been providing fans with countless fun updates on their journey as parents. Recently, for example, one of them shared an adorable clip of him on what appears to be a train ride at the mall for kids.

He looked incredibly unsure of the situation, which social media users quickly took and ran with. It’s now a meme going viral on TikTok, as users add their own captions to the clip for hilarious results. “Me lookin at the [ninja emoji] who decided to sit by me when it’s 100 empty seats,” one of them reads. “Me looking at my bank account after a spending spree,” another says.

Of course, it didn’t take very long for Halo’s parents to catch on, and DDG didn’t waste any time before taking to Twitter/X to weigh in. “Who made my son into a meme,” he asked alongside a series of laughing emojis before posting one of them on his page. “My son more lit than me, i love it,” he added. As for Bailey, she simply shared one of them on X with a crying laughing emoji.

This isn’t the first time Halo’s made headlines as of late, however. Back in July, he got his first lineup at just six months old. Social media users were quick to call DDG out for allowing this, arguing that it could impact his hairline. He made it clear he was unfazed by the criticism, however, urging haters to “worry ’bout your own kids.” What do you think of Halle Bailey and DDG’s son Halo becoming a viral meme? What about his reaction? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
