Drake Gets His Fans Riled Up With Loads Of New Music Teases On Instagram

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake fans are still digesting his latest three-pack, but fortunately for them, it seems like they will satisfy their hunger for new music even more. Thanks to his recent IG Story post via his “plottttwistttttt” burner account, the OVO die-hards think that he will release even more material on his accounts very soon, regardless of whether they land on streaming. Moreover, the post shows a load of Mac file folders under the “ICEMAN” umbrella, which some folks think will lead to a new album related to this moniker. The folders’ titles hint at Nothing Was The Same cuts, Popcaan tracks, “Trophies” versions, listening party content, and OVO fest footage or recordings. No matter how you interpret them, these vaults point to a wide array of content that the 6ix God could gift to fans.

As such, this is very exciting for his supporters, especially as they continue to break down and debate over “Supersoak,” “No Face,” and “Circadian Rhythm.” Of course, a big part of this discussion is what Drake had to say for his many 2024 beef opponents. There are a lot of references to his enemies throughout these cuts; some ring more specific, whereas most of them are quite broad. It seems like the Toronto superstar is broadly and “subliminally” standing tall against his opps… But The Boogeyman might be right around the corner for another round.

Furthermore, one of Drake’s biggest media allies, DJ Akademiks, recently claimed that – according to his sources – Kendrick Lamar is “loading up” for something, and is coming with new material very soon. But Ak thinks that this won’t have anything to do with their explosive battle, a sharp contrast to The Boy’s recent lyrical content through these “plottttwistttttt” drops. Whether or not this is true is a question for Father Time, and not the one featuring Sampha. Regardless, both fanbases will likely continue to feast this year, whether it’s the continuous success of “Not Like Us” or Drizzy’s deep-pocketed hard drive.

Still, not every new Drake release has been successful, lauded… Or even approved, according to some theorists. His long-awaited Benny The Butcher collab, “Buffalo Freestyle,” landed on the Black Soprano Family boss’ new EP, but disappeared from streaming services shortly after. The YouTube video got shut down due to a UMG copyright strike, so there’s definitely something going on behind the scenes that we’re not clear about. Nevertheless, there will probably be more to replace this removal, if this IG Story is anything to go by. But this overload doesn’t come without its pitfalls, ones that Aubrey will have to strategically navigate to prove his opposition wrong.

Pooh Shiesty’s Cardi B Crush May Have Formed Years Ago

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Pooh Shiesty made headlines for a flirty comment he left for Cardi B during an Instagram Live. “I’m 5 mins away baby open the door,” he wrote simply. The femcee recently filed for divorce from her husband Offset after seven years together and is currently expecting their third child. It’s unclear whether or not Cardi is interested, but she’s yet to respond to the advance.

This isn’t the first time Pooh Shiesty has expressed interest in linking up with her, however. During an interview with Spotify’s “Rap Caviar,” for example, he listed her as a dream collaborator along with Lil Wayne. He went on to appear on Cigar Talk, where he once again said he wanted to collaborate. Sadly, it doesn’t look like this will happen anytime soon, as the rapper is currently behind bars.

Pooh Shiesty Shoots His Shot

Hopefully, Cardi will consider it when he gets out in a few years. While Pooh Shiesty’s flirty comment doesn’t exactly come as a surprise considering his past appreciation for Cardi B, it did seemingly prompt a response from her ex. Offset took to X as the message made its rounds online with a simple series of laughing emojis. This appears to suggest that he’s unbothered, though that’s unconfirmed. As for Cardi, she has a lot on her plate these days considering her pregnancy and pending divorce. Right now, for instance, she’s in the process of hunting for an apartment in New York.

She told fans on Instagram Live that she never liked living in Atlanta, despite her and her ex owning a home there. Cardi’s also working on her eagerly anticipated sophomore album, which does not yet have an official release date. What do you think of Pooh Shiesty shooting his shot with Cardi B last week? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jermaine Dupri Gets Absolutely Cooked For His Take On Kamala Harris’ Lack Of Action

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jermaine Dupri recently issued a hot take via Twitter about Kamala Harris’ perceived inefficiency as a political figure in the White House, and the replies were quite scathing. “Real quick, I want to talk about the DNC,” he began. “I feel like the DNC has been going amazing. But I also feel like tonight, Kamala Harris has a pretty difficult job, right? And it’s interesting because the Republican correspondent that’s been doing the round-up after the DNC has ended [every night], he asked the question that I kind of asked Kamala when we had our second meeting. You know, the fact that she’s in office right now, she’s in the White House right now.

“And the guy, he said, ‘What makes y’all believe that she’s going to get this stuff done if she becomes President if she’s already in the [White] House?’” Jermaine Dupri pondered. “And it’s a tricky question because I asked Kamala basically the same thing, right? In so many words. I asked her, as the Vice President, why they don’t let her talk when Biden seems like he needed someone to speak up for him. I thought that’s what the role of the Vice President was: to help the President.” Check out the criticisms of this take, as well as his full statement, in the Instagram post below.

“Basically, she kind of let me know that her hands was tied,” Jermaine Dupri continued. “That they didn’t really allow her to be a voice like that in that space. And tonight, I want to see if she even touches on this. Because if she doesn’t touch on it, that’s the question that I feel like the people that have mixed decisions about voting for her, this is one of the questions.

“This is the top question that they have,” Jermaine Dupri concluded. “Like I said, this is what the Republicans are saying. They never heard the part about her hands being tied. If she says something about her hands being tied, it makes it look like the White House or the Democratic Party didn’t really want her to exceed. So she can’t really say her hands was tied. But she does have to step into that space. This is something I do believe.”

Nicki Minaj Superfan Sues Her Over “Stalker” Accusations

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Nicki Minaj has a fiercely loyal fanbase, but according to one former Barb, he was publicly humiliated for his dedication. According to TMZ, Tameer Peak recently filed a lawsuit against the “FTCU” rapper in L.A. Superior Court. In legal documents obtained by the outlet, he claims that he was mistreated by Nicki and her supporters on multiple occasions. He’s seeking $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.

Peak paints himself as an innocent fan, who helped Nicki promote her album Pink Friday 2 on social media. Regardless, he claims that he was accused of being paid to sabotage her. He also says that at one point, the performer invited him to her hotel room, where he was allegedly embarrassed in front of over 100K viewers on Instagram Live.

In his suit, Peak also recalls a run-in with Nicki and her husband Kenneth Petty during a Super Bowl weekend event back in 2020. He alleges that he was battered by Petty and that Nicki later sent him a DM about the incident. This year, the ex-Barb claims he was told by other fans that Nicki wanted him to “stop saying d*mb sh*t.” He even alleges that he was targeted on X while she interacted with listeners during Stationhead sessions. “It’s clear they’re not necessarily, you know, a full basket umm at the picnic,” Nicki allegedly wrote.

What do you think of a former Nicki Minaj fan suing her for alleged slander? Are you surprised? What about his allegedly poor experiences with the rapper and her fanbase? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Joe Budden Wants Dr Umar To Explain His Criticism Of Hip-Hop In The Black Community

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dr. Umar Johnson dished out yet another controversial take on the Hustle Over Everything podcast, questioning what good hip-hop has done for the Black community. “I’m talking about both,” he answered when asked by Mouse Jones whether his disappointment in rap music is about its culture or its industry. “You’re still selling death and destruction to my kids while your kids are going to $30,000-a-year privileged white schools. That’s what you call a traitor. The hip-hop community has betrayed Black America. […] It ain’t did s**t in 50 years for the community. It made individuals rich and it’s it. And it gave out a couple of jobs. So did the drug dealer.”

The Joe Budden Podcast discussed this take, in which Dr. Umar posited that education should’ve been a stronger institution that hip-hop culture should’ve created, citing Jay-Z as an example of a success story that owes something to the Black community. Johnson and Jones agreed that the rap community needs accountability and more #MeToo-like initiatives. Moving on to the Slaughterhouse MC’s pod’ though, the cohosts argued that hip-hop can sometimes – but not always – promote street life that Black folks engage in out of necessity and survival. However, they don’t think that hip-hop caused this systemic cycle, hinting at a larger oppressive system that rap music did not create.

The Joe Budden Podcast‘s Takes On Dr. Umar’s Dismissal Of Hip-Hop In The Black Community

“And I want to make it perfectly clear that we’re using the word or the words ‘hip-hop,’” Joe Budden remarked. “I’m not certain, again, that he is referring to the culture of hip-hop. When he is saying ‘hip-hop,’ he is talking to the music and entertainment business that is controlled by Jewish people [an often bigoted insinuation that Budden doesn’t seem to endorse, but is assuming Dr. Umar’s intention with]. It would be tough for him to have that conversation with me as somebody who hip-hop saved my life. Like, he maybe can talk like that to Mouse Jones. He can’t say that to me.”

Elsewhere, The Joe Budden Podcast‘s cohosts spoke on how hip-hop as a whole provides employment for struggling families, and seemingly didn’t catch Dr. Umar’s statement that his take is about both the culture and the industry. The titular host specifically used the controversial of Russell Simmons saying that he’s been here too long and helped too many people to be “canceled.” “Like, we’re talking about over 50 years of people helping people,” Budden expressed. “My other problem with Dr. Umar is [that] he came right up here and said part of our problem is we want to do it for us and we’re not selfless enough to do it for the generations to come. He came in here and said that. I remember. It stuck out like a f***ing sore thumb. I’ll give him this: music – not the music business – but music is many kids’ way through life.”

DJ Akademiks Claims Kendrick Lamar Is Dropping New Music Soon, But Not About The Drake Beef

August 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After relentlessly dropping four songs in almost as many days, we’re now back to an age-old question: where in the world is Kendrick Lamar? He hasn’t popped out since the “Not Like Us” music video, which continues to break streaming records (Drake’s old records, to be specific) amid many more milestones, accomplishments, astonishments, and a whole lot of fan discourse. While many fervent online voices aren’t here for it, DJ Akademiks just added fuel to that speculative fire. Moreover, he recently expressed during his livestream that his sources indicated an upcoming drop from K.Dot coming very soon. His fans pray that these reports come true in 2024, lest we roll this over into the second half of the 2020s decade.

“Wait, why did I get news that Kendrick is coming?” DJ Akademiks claimed concerning Kendrick Lamar’s next musical move. “I’ve gotten some sources that tell me Kendrick – I don’t think it’s on some diss s**t. But I’ve heard that, you know, Kendrick is loading up. I don’t know if that means an album, I don’t know if he’s finally going to start giving out the handouts of features that he probably promised them n***as who were Crip-walking and Blood-walking on that stage. I don’t know if it’s just going to be a loosie. Maybe it’s that track that was at the beginning of the ‘Not Like Us’ video. But I was told… Kendrick is coming. So – and pause on that, by the way. That sounds wild.”

DJ Akademiks With An Ominous & Exciting Claim: “Kendrick Lamar Is Coming”

Furthermore, this is especially interesting news this time around thanks to the new Drake tracks that he dropped on IG over the weekend. Many lines on this new three-pack reference the various beefs he was in this year, but not a lot of them directly relate to Kendrick Lamar. As such, maybe the 6ix God wants to keep things general and subliminally shady, although the word “subliminal” has pretty much lost all meaning when all that’s missing is a super-obvious callout. Either way, DJ Akademiks’ theory that the Compton lyricist won’t rehash the battle is a common one among fans.

Meanwhile, some fans even think that Kendrick Lamar foretold Drake’s new angles on these songs, particularly a line about therapy. Of course, it could just be another classic pgLang Stan reach, or it just goes to show how effectively he broke down his opponent’s character. Nevertheless, whether you’re a Kendrick hater or not, whatever comes next will definitely cause a stir. Only time will tell whether The Boogeyman comes back out or if he will instead fuel the other side of his old-school Gemini ways.
