Jadakiss Joins Drink Champs With His Father & Son

Jadakiss was the latest guest on Drink Champs, and he also brought along his son and father for the conversation. In fact, The Lox member’s father expressed that he didn’t really know hip-hop culture before his son became one of the best rappers out of New York. Moreover, he discussed not wanting the Yonkers MC to sign a record deal and not really understanding the craft or worth of his work. However, eventually he clicked, and Jada’s father was very appreciative and proud in their dialogue. Overall, it was an entertaining episode that covered a lot of different aspects of his career.

For example, Jadakiss, his son, and his father discussed starting Kiss Cafe Coffee, a family-owned coffee company. N.O.R.E. remarked how incredible it is that hip-hop culture didn’t really have a coffee before, and also spoke on how it should go beyond the community and become big in the industry. What’s more is that Kiss has a lot more on the way that’s more in his traditional wheelhouse. Recently, he revealed that he has multiple upcoming projects this year, including two solo albums and an album with The Lox.

Also, one of the most iconic recent moments of Jadakiss’ career might see a second wind- or rather, a rematch. He recently reverted his original statements against a rematch with Dipset on Verzuz, and expressed that he’s down for another go. His incredible performance during their first showdown made for one of the most praised and talked-about moments in hip-hop that year. If anything, it just proves that his talent and skill goes much father beyond what people saw as his career peak. No matter his success, he continues to push himself, especially after he saw such recognition for the Verzuz performance.

In addition, the “We Gonna Make It” artist is an advocate for easing tensions in the genre. Along with former opponent Freeway, he urged the younger artists in the game to squash their beefs, standing by his now-close relationship with the Philly rapper. Especially with his father and son by his side, it’s heartening to see him get his flowers and keep developing his career. For more news and the latest updates on Jadakiss, log back into HNHH.

NORE And DJ EFN Deny Calling Will Smith A ‘B*tch’ On ‘Drink Champs,’ Despite What Chris Rock Says

You may have heard that Netflix recently livestreamed Chris Rock’s new special, Selective Outrage. You may also be aware that the standup comic used the latter third of the special to absolutely ream Will and Jada Pinkett Smith over the slapping incident at last year’s Academy Awards. During that extended bit, Rock — who loves to name-check rappers in his act — cited the controversial hip-hop podcast Drink Champs as one of the reasons Smith was so angry at him that he resorted to violence over Rock’s jokes about Jada.

“Everybody called him a bitch and who did he hit? Me!” Rock complained, apparently including Drink Champs, which did discuss rumors that Jada had an extended “entanglement” with singer August Alsina (she even coined that phrase on an episode of her own podcast, Red Table Talk). However, the hosts want it made clear that they never called Will anything of the sort. In their latest episode preview on Instagram, NORE, DJ EFN, and guest Joe Budden discussed Selective Outrage and the shout-out their show got.

In the clip, NORE asks EFN, “You called Will Smith a bitch?” to which his co-host emphatically replies, “No, man! That was you! Nah, nah. Nobody here called him a bitch.” After playing the Rock joke, Budden offered his view, “I don’t agree with anything he did, but I’m not calling another man a bitch. I’m not going to do that, but Chris Rock said y’all did that, Drink Champs.” For what it’s worth, he has a point there; he just makes “careless” jokes about Megan Thee Stallion’s shooting, asks inane questions about Isaiah Rashad’s sexuality, and hashes out accusations of abuse and sexual harassment. But he doesn’t call men “bitches.” Round of applause for Joe.

The Drink Champs hosts seemed enthused about the reference, though. “I love the way he named us, because he put us in the rapper category,” said NORE, giving his signature catchphrase: “Let’s make some noise for Chris Rock, God damn it!”

You can stream Selective Outrage now on Netflix and watch the Drink Champs preview clip above.

Screen Shot 2023 02 04 at 10.03.59 AM

Rappers Joe Budden & N.O.R.E recently took shots at rappers who failed at their podcasting shows. During a recent episode of the Joe Budden Podcast, host Joe Budden and his guest star N.O.R.E had an interesting conversation about rappers who have failed at being podcast hosts. While the men did not name who they were referring to, they did not hold back on their opinions.

Nore shared, “You know what’s crazy, I’m looking at these rappers trying shows now–rappers from our era and they are so failing… They’re doing sports shows, doing comedy shows. “

Joe added, They are selling a** out here, they are selling their a**.”

Nore continued, “They get a computer, they get two cameras, and then they come out for three weeks. When their six episodes don’t work they start to rethink it..They come out with another show, and then that’s trash. And then they start cooking. Y’all looking horrible out here. I feel sorry for some of y’all. “

Young Scooter Slams N.O.R.E For Claiming Future’s Mad At Drake & 21 Savage Tape

Young Scooter leaped to Future’s defense following claims made by N.O.R.E.

The “Superthug” rapper appeared on The Breakfast Club this week where he held down the Rumor Report. During the segment, N.O.R.E. claimed he heard Future was upset with Drake for doing a joint project with 21 Savage.

“I heard there’s a big rumor that Future is not too happy with this Drake and 21 Savage album. And it makes Drake and Future’s album not as important, I would say,” N.O.R.E. said. “This is allegedly, this is all rumors. I’ve never heard it from Future’s mouth, never heard it from Drake, never heard it from 21, but it’s an alleged big rumor that’s going on right now.”

Future and Drake connected in 2015 during a crucial time in both of their careers for the release of What A Time To Be Alive. N.O.R.E. explained that he understands Future’s feelings because we often don’t see elite rappers deliver follow-up collab projects.

“We’ve never seen JAY-Z do another Best of Both Worlds,” N.O.R.E. said. “We’ve seen Watch the Throne, but that was an equal [pairing].”

Ultimately, Future, 21 Savage or Drake have entertained these rumors, though a close affiliate to the DS2 rapper issued a response. Young Scooter hopped on Instagram to directly address N.O.R.E’s comments.

“I heard NORE got [eggplant emoji] in his a$$,” Young Scooter wrote. “This just what I heard. Stop hating for views boy.”

Drake and 21 Savage dropped Her Loss in November. The two recently revealed that they’ll be hitting the road together this summer.
