JPEGMAFIA Doubles Down On Drake Disses And Mocks OVO Stans

by

JPEGMAFIA is a professional Drake hater. Well, he’s a professional rapper, producer, and performer, too. But underneath all those, he loves bashing the Toronto superstar. He’s been doing it for almost a decade, and he dished out some of his most scathing Drake bars on his new album. He dropped the phrase “No Drizzy” on the song “New Black History.” He also leaned into the rumor that the rapper has gotten with underage girls on “it’s dark and hell is hot.” OVO fans were obviously unhappy with JPEGMAFIA, but he didn’t back down. Instead, he went back at them on Twitter.

Hours after JPEGMAFIA dropped I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, he addressed the Drake disses. He made three separate points, and all of them were pretty valid within the parameters that he set. The first one made note of the fact that he’s been ragging on Drake for a while. “1st off. I been dissing that n**ga since 2016,” he wrote. “Them sh*ts was throwaway bars not noteworthy.” Then, JPEGMAFIA turned his attention to fans who threatened him over the insulting bars. He made it very clear he’s going to stand behind what he said, whether it not it upsets certain people. “Second off if anybody got a problem with what i said on this album,” he added. “My tour dates in bio.”

JPEGMAFIA Urged Fans To Stop Defending Drake

The third point was directly at stans, rather than fans. The ones who defend their favorite rapper to the death, despite the fact that disses add up to very little at the end of the day. Peggy said it himself when he described his “No Drizzy” bars as “throwaway.” He clearly has had enough of the OVO stans who feel the need to address the hate that Drake has been getting in 2024. “Third, y’all cant even pay your rent but defending Drake for free,” JPEGMAFIA concluded. “Go outside and be somebody.” Basically, Peggy decided to follow up his Drake disses with some additional digs for the fans.

If it’s any consolation, JPEGMAFIA has been critical of most famous rappers. He regularly cited Kanye West as one of his favorite artists, yet attacked West on social media back in January. He claimed he was more talented than the people that West collaborates with, and made his feelings on the matter known. “Truthfully I don’t give a f*ck about nothing Kanye got going on at this point i just wanted to get paid,” he tweeted. “But its ok im not a rapist or some weirdo incel n**ga so I get why he wouldn’t wanna work with me.” Moral of the story: Nobody is safe from Peggy’s wrath.

T-Pain Checks Rowdy Crowd For Throwing Things Onstage: Watch

by

In recent months, countless artists have fallen victim to getting hit with random objects onstage, and T-Pain is taking a stand. During a performance in Iowa this week, the hitmaker paused his set to check audience members throwing things at him. He made it clear that he wouldn’t be tolerating the blatant disrespect, despite trying to ignore it.

“As a muthaf**ka that turns 40 this year, I’m not obligated to stay up here while muthaf**kas keep disrespecting me,” he said. “I don’t want to sound like an a*shole, but you wouldn’t stay up here if you just kept getting disrespected like that. That’s just weird.” The majority of the crowd was not the problem in this case and began chanting T-Pain’s name during his rant.

T-Pain Pauses Show To Scold Audience

“I want to keep going, I want to keep having fun. I f**k with the most of y’all. It’s only a few pieces of sh*t out there… I’m not a f**king clown. I’m not gon’ sit up here and get pies thrown in my face and sh*t. I don’t want to leave halfway through, trust me, but I can’t stay up this muthaf**ka getting disrespected,” he then added. “That’s all I’m saying.” Fortunately, it looks like the object-throwing slowed down after this, and he was able to finish the rest of the show unscathed. Reportedly, he performed hits like “All I Do Is Win,” “I’m So Hood,” and more.

Fans can’t blame T-Pain for being fed up, as an unexpected flying object is likely the last thing he wants to deal with onstage. He also handled the situation well, considering that other performers have fired back by hurling objects into the crowd. What do you think of T-Pain checking a crowd in Iowa for throwing stuff at him during his performance? Can you blame him?

Lil Wayne Namedrops Kanye West & Kim Kardashian On New Mike WiLL Made-It & Lil Yachty Collab

by

Earlier this week, Mike WiLL Made-It unleashed his new track alongside Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty, “High3r.” Already, the song has received a ton of praise from fans, who have taken a liking to Wayne’s verse in particular. In it, he namedrops both Kanye West and Kim Kardashian to make an apparent drug reference. “My plug contact is Kim K/ I call him when I need Ye,” he rhymes.

Social media users are commending Weezy for his creativity here, and looking back on his and Ye’s history. Lil Wayne has always had good things to say about the Yeezy founder, even after he sparked controversy with antisemitic remarks. During an appearance on the All the Smoke podcast last year, for example, he claimed that Ye’s musical talent means that he’ll find success no matter what.

Fans Praise Lil Wayne For New Verse

“He’s a genius… What I mean by that is he can stop being Kanye West at any time and start being Kanye East and be the best at that as well,” he explained at the time. “He’s a genius when it comes to music. Whatever route he wanna go, he’s gonna be packing arenas.” While Lil Wayne continues to deliver hits, Ye recently left fans disappointed by not dropping his joint project with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 2.

Earlier this week, an announcement on the Yeezy website claimed that the album would be released today. It was deleted hours later, leaving fans wondering whether or not they’d actually get to hear it. Evidently, there’s been yet another change of plans, and it now remains unclear when the album will arrive. What do you think of Mike WiLL Made-It’s new track with Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty? What about Lil Wayne shouting out Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in his verse? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quavo Threatened With Lawsuit After Allegedly Scamming Vitaly Out Of $50K

by

Vitaly links up with everybody. The YouTuber has build an entire industry around live streams in which rappers help him catch (and then humiliate) would-be predators. He did it with YG and Lil Pump. Migos superstar Quavo was supposed to be the next rapper to appear on a Vitaly stream, but he pulled a no-show at the last minute. So last minute, in fact, that Vitaly claims he already paid him $50K upfront to participate. Needless to say, the YouTuber was not happy. He’s going as far as to claim he’s taking legal action against Quavo as a result.

Vitaly broke the news that Quavo wasn’t coming during a July 29th stream. He also made racial remarks about the rapper, which drew criticism from fans throughout the world. “So, Quavo is not coming,” Vitaly announced. “No, he’s not coming. He took our deposit, right? Yeah, of course, Black people thing.” The YouTuber was so frustrated by the no-show that he urged viewers to harass the Migos rapper on social media. “Every Quavo post that goes on TikTok, everywhere, you guys say, ‘Give Vitaly his money back,’” he requested. “That’s not cool. Just taking my money like this.” Vitaly decided to take matters into his own hands on August 2, however. He went on stream and announced plans to sue Quavo for bailing on his agreement.

Quavo Reportedly Bailed On A Planned Stream Appearance

Vitaly told viewers that he was getting in touch with the legal team of another controversial streamer, Adin Ross. “We are also getting Adin Ross’ lawyers to pursue legal actions towards Quavo and his team,” he noted. The YouTuber proceeded to disparage Quavo for his actions, claiming that he used to be a big fan of the rapper. “I’ve nothing against Quavo. I was the biggest fan,” he added. “I’m not a fan anymore. I know one person isn’t gonna make a difference, but it is gonna make a difference…”

Quavo seemingly had other events on his mind. The rapper made headlines on July 31 when he attended Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia. Not only did Quavo voice his support for Harris, but he gave a speech in support of gun control. This was another talking point that Vitaly made fun of during his live stream. “He endorsed Kamala Harris saying protect the gun violence,” the YouTuber noted. “All you do is rap about violence and drugs.” The specifics of Vitaly’s lawsuit have been made public.

The LOX’s Tiny Desk Performance Supersedes The Initial Hype: Watch

by

Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch. These are the three men that make up one of New York’s most prominent rap groups, The LOX. For nearly 30 years, all three blue collar-esque MCs have stuck together all this time. Jadakiss revealed the underrated reason for their lasting comraderie on Instagram several months ago via a picture of the group praying together. The comments were in total agreement, “Nothing beats prayer 👏👏👏”. “❤ praying together LOVEEEE”, another user added. Speaking of keeping that chemistry close, what helps build that is performing on a consistent basis. That is exactly what The LOX went ahead did by putting their talents on full display on the Tiny Desk stage.

According to the creators of this platform, NPR, this is the first time that they have done a show with a live band. When this news was announced, a lot of people were sharing their excitement for what The LOX could potentially bring. Former NBA and New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony was one of them, simply saying, “Can’t wait”. Additionally, previous NFL stud receiver for the New York Giants, Victor Cruz also chimed in, “Nah I might have to set an alarm for this one”.

Ice Spice’s Tragic “Y2K” First Week Sales Projections Leave Fans Stunned

by

Following months of teasing, Ice Spice finally unleashed her debut album last week, Y2K. It boasts features from the likes of Gunna, Central Cee, and Travis Scott. Unfortunately, while the project had a ton of potential, many feel like it left a lot to be desired. Some were even quick to dub it the worst project of the year. That’s clearly up for debate, as the Bronx-born baddie arguably delivered at least a couple of bangers. Either way, the album’s commercial performance has been less than impressive.

According to Hits Daily Double, Y2K is on track to move 20k units in its first week. Social media users agree that this number is shockingly low, even considering all of the criticism surrounding the project. As a result, X users are now clowning the “Deli” rapper, and comparing her performance to that of peers like JT, Latto, and more.

Y2K On Track To Sell 20K Its First Week

Social media users are also speculating what could have caused the apparent drop-off. Some think it could be related to her shady comments about Nicki Minaj or other beef. Others also think she should change up her sound, and argue that listeners are simply getting bored. Luckily, not everyone has something bad to say about Y2K, as Pitchfork recently gave it a controversially high rating. The publication rated it 7.6 out of 10, the highest rating they’ve given a mainstream rap tape all year.

With that being said, many other critics have ripped the album to shreds. The same can be said for a new bonus track she unveiled today, “GYAT,” which has also elicited lukewarm reactions from listeners. What do you think of Ice Spice’s new album Y2K? What about it being on track to sell 20k units in its first week? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Big Sean Reveals What Is Keeping Him Out Of Big Three Conversations

by

Big Sean’s latest interview with The Breakfast Club‘s Charlamagne tha God is generating quite a bit of buzz. During their chat, they divulge in numerous topics, with perhaps the biggest surrounding him and Kendrick Lamar’s relationship. However, there is another section that is causing some debate amongst the viewers. Over each decade of hip-hop, you can point to three artists who have defined their respective periods. The one that gets perhaps the most traction is for the 2010s. Most throw in Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole in there, something that each MC has addressed several times as of late.

Other names you can debate are Future, Travis Scott, and Kanye West. The former of those names is someone that Charlamagne is willing to create a “Fantastic Four” for. Additionally, he tells Sean that the aforementioned “Big Three” is essentially unanimous, to which Sean rebuttals that he hears his moniker thrown around in those conversations. Additionally, though, the Detroit rapper can understand where people, including Charlamagne, are coming from. He cites that his “consistency” really isn’t there, mentioning how he hasn’t dropped an album in almost four years. Although, that dry spell will be ending on August 9 when Sean comes out with Better Me Than You.

Big Sean Notes “Consistency” Is Holding Him Back From “Big Three” Status

While the “Precision” rapper does show some humility, he does make clear that he can hang with the best of them on any track. He boldly mentions his verses on two Kendrick Lamar collabs, “Control” and DJ Khaled’s “Holy Key”, as his biggest flexes. In fact, he even claims he made sure he put together the stronger performance on the latter. This prompted fans to react. “He didn’t have a better verse on holy key though lol”, one user on X says. Overall, there were some fans that put Sean in the same air as three aforementioned pillars of the past decade and some that don’t. Maybe, though, he can convince the critics next Friday.

What are your thoughts on Big Sean knowing that he isn’t in the big three conversations like Drake, Kendrick, and Cole? Do you think he belongs in these debates, why or why not? Can his next album catapult him back toward the top of the heap if 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 Big Sean. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
