Summer Walker Puts Spotify On Blast For Leaving Out Nicki Minaj & Others At Gold Standard Exhibition

by

There are a whole host of legendary female rappers that have graced the mic over the genre’s history. Each one has had a unique impact on the game. However, there may never be no one more influential than Nicki Minaj. Many credit her for the trends that exist in the current landscape, and rightfully so. It seems every female star today takes some sort of inspiration from Onika. Sometimes, the Barbz can shove in your face a little too much, but that will never truly take away from her looming presence over the latest crop of talent. These reasons are why fans, including Summer Walker, are confused and upset with Spotify over a recent omission.

According to AllHipHop, the streaming giant put together a special exhibit called The Gold Standard Exhibition in New York City. It features tons of stunning portraits of all of the “ladies setting the bar for hip-hop”. Present faces such as Latto, Flo Milli, Sexyy Red, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, and more were featured. However, Summer Walker was quick to point out the exclusion of Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim, and Missy Elliott in the comments.

“I don’t even listen to hella Nicki cause I’m a r&b lover. But where is the Queen.. or Lil Kim at least or Missy Elliott… this mad disrespectful. This why I make my music n go home the industry weird”, Walker said. Fans were equally thrown off, too. “Kim, Nicki, Foxy, Lauryn, Eve, Trina, Missy, Da Brat, Left Eye, MC Lyte, Roxanne Shonte, Queen Latifah, YoYo. I’m sure I’m missing more but the disrespect”, another adds. This is certainly alarming, but it could be only one way to view it. There’s a chance that Spotify made this for the new generation looking to take over and carry the torch of the Nickis, Kims, Hills, and etc. It seems that was the case, but if not, then this is certainly a massive misstep.

What are your thoughts on Summer Walker calling out Spotify for the omission of several female rap greats at The Gold Standard Exhibition? Do you think the streaming platform was highlighting the new stars of hip-hop, or did they just screw up? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

YNW Melly’s Mother & Fredo Bang Deposition Dates Revealed Amid YNW Juvy Estate’s Lawsuit

by

YNW Melly has been behind bars for several years now. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he’ll be getting out anytime soon. The 25-year-old rapper was arrested back in 2019 for his alleged role in the murders of YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser. If convicted, he faces life in prison or the death penalty. His retrial is scheduled to begin in September of next year.

Melly is also facing civil lawsuits from both SakChaser and Juvy’s estates, which recently got a major update. According to Bryson “Boom” Paul, Melly’s mother Jamie King and Fredo Bang are scheduled to give video depositions as part of the Juvy lawsuit on September 26 and 27 of this year.

This latest development comes only weeks after Melly’s lawyer Bradford Cohen put Florida prosecutors on blast in an Instagram post. He accused them of mishandling the case from the beginning, making it clear that he’s outraged by how things have played out so far. “Essentially, the Broward State Attorneys Office really screwed this case up,” he wrote. “I have never seen anything like it. Literally refused to pass this case to an unconflicted state attorneys office after the defense listed one of their own state attorneys as a witness. They wanted to be able to cross examine the state attorney that was what amounted to a whistle blower and testified that a police officer lied.”

It also follows Melly’s mother calling for the case to be dismissed altogether after the new retrial date was announced. At the time, she also revealed that Melly is not allowed phone calls, contact with other inmates, or visits. What do you think of YNW Melly’s mother and Fredo Bang giving depositions later this year?

Kendrick Lamar’s Engineer Is Being Called A Liar Over Drake Diss Revelation

by

A clip from a sit-down between Kendrick Lamar’s engineer and Engine Ears Live is stirring up conversation. During their chat, Nicolas de Porcel retold the “amazing” procedure behind each Drake diss record during their battle. “It was a little crazy. I got a call, and it was like, ‘Stay on call, you’re gonna be working’”, Porcel began. “I would get the song and like six minutes would elapse and they’d be like, ‘How we looking?’. It was very high pressure. As Dot was releasing these records, it was like, I was turning in the masters… It would drop like 12 minutes later. It was amazing”.

Any sort of extra details about this beef are going to cause even more debate, and that’s exactly what is going on in the Xspace. According to XXL, fans are very split on whether or not de Porcel is telling the truth. Expectedly, there are a lot of skeptics out there, which is quite understandable. Many non-believers were pointing out how there is no way every fine detail was being ironed out. “You guys smoking the same crack Kendrick was in Power. It’s literally not possible to mix and master a full session at a professional level in just 30 minutes. It takes that long just to organize and label all the session stems”, one user states.

Fans Don’t See Eye To Eye On Kendrick’s Engineer Making This Claim

Additionally, some weren’t agreeing due to the fact that Kendrick didn’t address anything said in “Family Matters”. “Lmao it’s literally not possible to listen to family matters, enter the studio and record meet the grahams, mix and master the track and release it all under 30 minutes, he didn’t even rebuttal anything from family matters😭”. Then, there are some who are pointing out that it’s totally plausible, citing Kendrick’s greatness as a result. “They are surprised the man is that good.. they trying to talk down on the genius.. too good !!!”.

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s engineering being called out for how long the Drake diss tracks took to be put together? Whose side of the argument are you on and why? Which record is your favorite from K-Dot? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

ScHoolboy Q Clowns TDE’s Punch Over ASAP Rocky Underwear Ad

by

It’s no secret that ASAP Rocky’s Savage X Fenty underwear ad is a fan favorite, but according to ScHoolboy Q, it might have elicited too much of a reaction out of TDE’s Punch. Earlier today, Punch took to X to reveal that he’s been seeing the ad nonstop. He added that he found it pretty compelling too, and is considering getting a pair of his own.

“Man these Fenty drawls Rocky selling has great marketing and promotion. The ad pops up every time I scroll,” he wrote. “I’m finna get some.” Most fans agree that this is some solid promotion, and some even admitted that they too were tempted to get themselves a pair. ScHoolboy Q, on the other hand, took the opportunity to clown Punch for his comments.

ScHoolboy Q Tells Punch To “Relax”

“U gotta relax,” he wrote simply alongside a laughing emoji. Fortunately for Punch, the replies are flooded with fans coming to his defense, insisting that the ad truly is impossible to escape. “He ain’t wrong though, that ad be EVERYWHERE,” one claims. “Nah, dead a**. I didn’t ask for this,” another says. Punch isn’t the only one to find himself on the receiving end of ScHoolboy Q’s clowning, however. Back in 2022, ASAP Rocky teamed up with Calvin Klein for another underwear ad, which earned him a full-on roast.

“Y’all knew I was gone pull up… I honestly don’t know wat 2 say brah,” ScHoolboy Q commented at the time. “This sh*t so outta pocket he put headphones on… We been friends for about 10 yrs I’m really un following u on god.” Apparently, he made good on his promise too, though he’s since refollowed the Fashion Killa. What do you think of Punch’s take on ASAP Rocky’s Savage X Fenty Underwear ad? What about ScHoolboy Q clowning him for it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cardi B’s Friends Hope She Doesn’t Back Out Of Offset Divorce, Source Claims

by

Earlier this week, Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset after roughly seven years of marriage. The hitmaker cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, and sources say it’s been a long time coming. Cardi B also took to Instagram yesterday to announce that she’s expecting her third child with Offset. Reportedly, she’s seeking primary custody of their little ones and is requesting that Offset pay child support.

Amid all these major developments, some fans have been skeptical, as this is far from the first time Cardi and Offset went their separate ways. Back in 2020, Cardi B filed for divorce once again, though she dropped the proceedings only a couple of months later. Late last year, the “Enough” rapper also declared that she was single before putting the former Migos member on blast.

She is excited about this new baby, and she’s recording, so everything with her is actually pretty good,” they explained.

“Her friends just want her to be happy,” the source also added. “We’ve seen them break up, get back together, break up, get back together, and it’s like we just want her to stick to her decision and just enjoy her f*cking life. You’re so successful. You’ve come so far in your career, just enjoy your life.” What do you think of Cardi B’s friends reportedly hoping she sticks to her decision to divorce Offset?

Skip Bayless Delivers Final Goodbye Message To FS1

by

Skip Bayless is easily one of the biggest names in the entire sports broadcasting world. However, the last year or so has not been fruitful. Overall, he lost Shannon Sharpe and his Undisputed ratings began to tank. Recently, it was reported that he would be leaving FS1 as it just wasn’t working out. Bayless had largely remained silent on all of this. He wasn’t providing fans with any updates, and no one knew when his last day at the network would be.

Well, today, Skip Bayless officially clocked in for his last day at Undisputed. It was revealed this morning that this would be his last episode. He had Lil Wayne on to celebrate, and it was all very low-key. Following the episode, Skip took to Twitter to offer up his final goodbye. Furthermore, he teased his supporters by noting that this is not the end of his career. In fact, there is more on the horizon for him right now.

I had a great 8-year run with a lot of great people at FOX, but now I’m excited for what’s coming up. Stay tuned.” Bayless will surely be announcing a new venture soon enough. Whether or not people are going to want to tune in, is a different story entirely. Bayless has always done well with a co-host, but by himself, he is much less appealing.
