Punch, Peter Rosenberg And More Bash Andrew Schulz’s Kendrick Lamar Jokes

by

Kendrick Lamar vs. Andrew Schulz is not a feud we saw coming. The former dissed white comedians who mock Black women on his new album, GNX. Many interpreted Schulz as the target of this general diss, including Schulz himself. He decided to make fun of Kendrick Lamar’s size, and claim that he could easily sexually assault him if he wanted. The comedian also pointed out that the rapper has stood up for Black women despite co-signing controversial artists like Kodak Black and R. Kelly. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the hip hop world piled on Schulz.

Punch, TDE President and Lamar’s former label boss, got on Twitter to question the comedian’s comments. He also alluded to the biased way he feels Andrew Schulz looks at rappers. “Wait,” Punch tweeted. “I know as a Blackman [sic] who’s involved in Hip Hop Music, that we are a bit slow and don’t really understand sarcasm and humor. But did my guy say he want to sleep with Dot??.” Andrew Schulz also got bashed by Peter Rosenberg. The Hot 97 host claimed that the comedian was operating in a vein not dissimilar to conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly.

Andrew Schulz Was Criticized For His Offensive Comments

Especially, in Rosenberg’s opinion, when it came to the joke about hip hop being misogynistic. “Schulz is no different than Bill O’ Reilly,” the host opined. “Acting like K Dot is 2 live crew. [It] shows Schulz doesn’t actually like or understand hip hop…” Peter Rosenberg also urged hip hop fans to not liken him to Schulz based on the color of their skin. “Not all white guys are built the same,” he stated. “For some of us black culture is not wacky fodder or a means to an end.” Rosenberg dubbed Shulz’s take to be “painfully bad” and questioned why his affiliation with Charlamagne has given him the right to speak on hip hop culture.

The critiques continued once O’Shea Jackson, Jr. got on Twitter. Ice Cube’s son stated, simply, that Andrew Schulz is “weird.” In a follow up tweet, he lamented the fact that the comedian has leaned into politically incorrect humor as a means of catering to his fanbase. “Man how people change on some weird sh*t,” Jackson wrote. “I was a fan.”

Peter Rosenberg Feels Drake’s Team Is Leading Him Astray Over The “Not Like Us” Debacle

by

The media and the internet have been casting heavy aspersions on Drake since his two pre-action petition filings earlier this week. Both are in relation to UMG, Spotify, and Kendrick Lamar’s viral diss record, “Not Like Us.” The first of which is more of a legal barrage on the first two subjects for allegedly artificially inflating the streaming numbers of the song. In that same petition, he’s also accusing UMG (Universal Music Group) of going against the RICO Act, and using payola, bots and more to carry out their plan.

Then, there’s the defamation side of things, in which Drake claims that UMG could have and should have prevented the release of “Not Like Us.” The bars suggesting he’s a ped*phile he affirms are nowhere near true, therefore it should have shut down the track from seeing the light of day. While the direct criticism of Drake is apropos, radio host at Hot 97, Peter Rosenberg, feels some of that should go to the Canadian MC’s team as well. It’s reasonable to propose this, as they are the ones who have to speak on their client’s behalf in these types of scenarios.

Peter Rosenberg Is Echoing Most Of The Public’s Opinion On Drake’s Moves

He shared his disappointment and comments with TMZ Hip Hop, and overall, he’s just in pure disbelief. His thoughts on the matter are nothing new, as people like Meek Mill and Shannon Sharpe for instance feel he should have just let it go. But he’s also feeling like Drake is just trying anything and everything and hoping something works in his favor.

Rosenberg was also highly critical of the “Taylor Made Freestyle” and also took issue with Drake pushing Kendrick Lamar’s buttons. Obviously, we all know how that went. Despite all of the head-scratching moves from the artist and his reps, Rosenberg thinks his defamation petition does have a chance of paying off. In that same breath though, he strongly believes doing that shortly after the release of “Not Like Us” would have made more sense. At this point, Drake’s reputation and image is serious question and it may take a while for it to go back to what it was.

Since Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album garnered 11 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year, Peter Rosenberg is launching a podcast series exploring the significance of Cowboy Carter with “This Ain’t Texas.”

Check out the trailer and first episode HERE

In the trailer, Rosenberg cited Beyoncé as the most important artist of her generation. He also cited Cowboy Carter as “a genre-defining, captivating, and, to some, polarizing masterpiece.” “This Ain’t Texas” will have Rosenberg discuss with producers from the album and music critics about the album’s making, Beyonce’s long history with the Grammys, and the controversies surrounding the album. 

“I am so excited about this. It is just going to run from the end of November until the first week of February. I am calling it a “pop-up” podcast. I decided to make time for this because I think Beyoncé’s career arc and this specific Cowboy Carter album are worth exploring in depth — particularly because I believe she has, hands down, the album of the year. So, I am going to talk to writers, critics, musicians, producers, and Beyoncé collaborators about her career and why this album should be the first to get her album of the year,” said Rosenberg

Drake’s New Album With Conductor Williams Is Reportedly Dropping Soon

by

Drake can’t stop. He announces breaks from the music the way other rappers announce retirements, and none of them stick. The last time the 6 God claimed to be taking personal time, he dropped the critically adored Scary Hours 3. It sounds like he’s getting back into a similar headspace. There hasn’t been a lack of Drake material in recent months, but Ebro dropped a bombshell during the July 30 episode of the Ebro In the Morning podcast. He claimed that the Toronto rapper is going to be dropping an album very, very soon.

Ebro didn’t play coy with his seemingly exclusive information. He came right out on the podcast and made it clear that Drake is in full-on rapper mode. “I heard Drake’s got a project this year,” he told his cohosts. Laura Stylez chimed in, teasing fans with an impending release date. “I heard that it’s coming sooner than we think,” she asserted. The most exciting bit of information, though, came from the third host, Peter Rosenberg. He claimed that Drizzy has been in the studio with Conductor Williams, and the two have been churning out songs together. “I also heard that he has a whole project’s worth of music done with Conductor Williams,” Rosenberg noted. “Which is the opposite [of recent Drake songs], very hip-hoppy.”

Drake And Conductor Williams Worked On FATD

Fans of For All the Dogs know the magic Drake and Conductor Williams can make together. Williams was responsible for producing “8AM In Charlotte,” which is considered to be one of Drake’s best songs of the decade. He also produced “Stories About My Brother” on Scary Hours 3. The song also contains some of Drizzy’s best rapping in years. If the claims made by the Ebro In the Morning crew are true, than fans will be getting lyrical Drake. It’s possible that not all of Williams’ beats make the final cut of the album, but given their track record, we hope most of them do.

Conductor Williams detailed his working relationship with Drake during a 2023 interview with Complex. “[Drake] is a crafts person,” he said. “And also a person of the arts. That was the main bond. The respect was mutual in that way. He made it so comfortable for me to be myself to where I start sending him the ideas that I’ve always had.” The producer then claimed that Drizzy was one of the greatest artists of his generation. “You got the greatest, one of the greatest artists,” he asserted. “Again, I’m going keep saying this, one of the greatest of my generation inspired to write. Let’s catch lightning in the bottle.”

Stephen A. Smith Goes Off On Peter Rosenberg In Unhinged Rant After Caitlin Clark Criticism

by

Stephen A. Smith has been at the forefront of the Caitlin Clark discourse for the past few weeks. Yesterday, he called the decision to leave Caitlin Clark off of Team USA for the Olympics “stupid.” Additionally, he has gotten into heated arguments with several woman cohosts like Monica McNutt and Andraya Carter, both of whom are more informed about the WNBA than he is. Furthermore, Caitlin Clark is a political lightning rod for many people, and Smith is included in that number. Peter Rosenberg recently commented on the Caitlin Clark drama and mentioned Stephen A. Smith by name.  All in all, the comments seem to have really gotten to Stephen A.

Stephen A. Smith made a special rant before taking off for Dallas to cover Wednesday’s NBA finals game 3. He responds to Rosenberg by saying that Stephen A. has jumped on Caitlin Clark and is being treated unfairly. His point actually makes a lot of sense. Rosenberg said plainly that Caitlin Clark herself just wanted to play basketball. Nevertheless, she has become a symbol of something controversial for people like Stephen A. to latch on to. He says the idea that she is being treated unfairly is unfair to the other women of the WNBA, who are being treated like props. Additionally, Peter Rosenberg says that if that’s the angle you are going for, then maybe you don’t really care about the actual women’s game itself. Stephen A. took major offense.

Stephen A. Smith Claps back at Peter Rosenberg

Peter Rosenberg believes that Caitlin Clark has unwillingly become the face of white fragility and that Stephen A. Smith has hopped on that train. Stephen A. is very upset if you watch the clip. He curses throughout the rant and is personally offended by the acquisition. Additionally, he clarifies his position about Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic team. Smith says that she doesn’t deserve to be on the team. Nevertheless, Smith cares about marketing more than anything and says that the team needs Caitlin Clark to grow the sport. Nevertheless, Rosenberg’s point about actually caring about the games being played is reinforced by Smith’s own doubling down.

Stephen A. Smith does not take criticism well and personally went after Rosenberg in his 11-minute rant. It is pretty funny that Smith was literally about to hop on a flight and stopped everything to rant about a slight diss. Overall, Stephen A. Smith is not someone who admits they are wrong or changes their position. Ultimately, he cares about money and views more than anything, which is why First Take continues to push out Caitlin Clark’s debates. All in all, Peter Rosenberg will more than likely respond in due time.

Peter Rosenberg Clarifies Why Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow Missed Summer Jam: “I Did Not Get Them Taken Off”

by

Peter Rosenberg says he had nothing to do with Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow not performing at Hot 97’s Summer Jam festival over the weekend. Following the two rapper’s appearance at Donald Trump’s latest rally in the Bronx, last month, Rosenberg called them out for the move and recommended pulling them off the lineup. Instead, he says both rappers voluntarily decided not to perform.

“While I was annoyed about the Sheff G-Sleepy Hallow-Trump thing, I did not get them taken off of Summer Jam,” Rosenberg clarified in a video on social media. “Number one, I don’t have the power to do that. Number two, even though it was annoying to me and I disagree, I would never try to take money out of people’s pockets. I have never done that in the history of my career. I have only tried to put money in people’s pockets and supported more artists in this city than many people are aware. Many of those artists are watching this right now and they know.”

Rosenberg then clarified that Sleepy Hallow “removed himself from Summer Jam” while “Sheff G was a whole different situation that I’ll let them explain — it’s not my business to explain.” He continued: “It is all love with me and those guys. It was a moment where I disagreed and we make jokes on the radio, we talk every morning. Some people may know, politically, I disagree with it, but that’s okay.” Check out his full explanation of the situation below.

Both Sheff G and Sleepy previously responded to Rosenberg’s criticism on their Instagram Stories. Sleepy labeled him a “d*ck eater” while Sheff offered a more nuanced explanation. Be on the lookout for further updates on Peter Rosenberg on HotNewHipHop.

Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow Clap Back At Peter Rosenberg After Being Criticized For Trump Support

by

Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are two New York artists who caught quite a bit of flack recently. Overall, this was due to the fact that they joined Donald Trump on stage for a special rally. During this rally, they revealed their support for the former President as he seeks election in 2024. Many fans felt like this support was a bit of a betrayal. Meanwhile, other fans praised the two artists for being politically active. Needless to say, it was a polarizing move.

Yesterday, we reported on how Peter Rosenberg of Hot 97 said that Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow should be removed from the Summer Jam lineup. Ebro and Laura Styles didn’t necessarily disagree, although it remains to be seen what will happen next. What we do know is that both artists have responded. In the Instagram post below, you can see that Sleepy Hallow took a more schoolyard approach, saying “this old n***a is dick eater.” Meanwhile, Sheff G offered up a longer retort.

Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow Offer Their Takes

In his post, Sheff G noted that Hot 97 has never shouted him out for his success. Instead, the only time they talk about him is when they want to be negative. Furthermore, Sheff G pondered why he needs to have the same political opinions as the Hot 97 hosts. As he notes, everyone is free to vote for who they want. While some may vehemently disagree with the way Sheff G is using his platform, it’s clear that he is standing on his previous actions. Whether or not this leads to a removal from the Summer Jam lineup, still remains to be seen.

Let us know what you think of this response from Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that these two are going to be taken off of the Summer Jam lineup? Do you agree with the way they handled the comments made by Rosenberg? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Peter Rosenberg Slams Joe Budden’s Link Up with ‘Immoral’ Candace Owens

Peter Rosenberg is not feeling Joe Budden’s decision to pod with Candace Owens. On Wednesday, Owens teased the conversation, writing, “It happened.”

“So sick of the idea that conversations need to be had with bigots, trolls, and immoral a-holes,” Rosenberg wrote. “Exchanging ideas among smart good people is useful. Hearing a hateful hack babble on about hate is not worth anyone’s time.”

Just days after Budden expressed admiration for Owens’ work but questioned her willingness to engage with his show, the pair’s unexpected encounter has sparked widespread speculation online. While details of their meeting remain undisclosed, anticipation is mounting as fans eagerly await further updates on the collaboration between Owens and Budden, which is expected to make waves across social media platforms.

Earlier this week, Candance Owens showed support for Beyoncé’s Country music. In the latest episode of The Candace Owens Podcast, Ownes details Queen Bey’s country history.

“Some people are saying that this is not very country,” Candace says. “I’m going to defend Beyoncé on that point because Beyoncé’s kind of always been country. She’s more country than Taylor Swift ever was for sure. Beyoncé is from Houston, Texas. She’s always had a twang… [Taylor Swift] put on a fake twang. Everyone was okay with it. You can’t say that Taylor Swift can do it, and Beyonce can’t.”

The interview comes after Owens recently voiced her opinion on Ice Spice during an episode of her show. “If you’re wondering whether or not it’s a good song, what do you think? It’s called ‘Think U The S**t (Fart),’” Owens said before playing a clip from the song. “Now I think we can all admit that we’ve fallen as a society. I mean, I wouldn’t say that was Mozart or Beethoven, but I’m not all of these mainstream media publications that routinely run to defend this kind of music similar to what they did with ‘WAP’ the most disgusting and filthiest lyrics I’ve ever read. They will then sit down and write an article trying to convince you that what you just heard was magical and they did this with this Ice Spice song.”

Peter Rosenberg Defends Method Man After Racist Caller Labels Him A “Thug”

by

Peter Rosenberg got into a heated exchange with a radio caller who had complained about Rosenberg being a Method Man fan. The caller, who identified himself as Greg, labeled the Wu-Tang Clan rapper a “thug.” The argument went down during an episode of the Michael Kay Show, earlier this week.

“I see this picture of Method Man in the background,” the caller said, referencing a poster of the rapper behind Rosenberg. “What’s that got to do with sports radio?” When Rosenberg asked what the caller’s issue was, he answered, “It just bothers me,” before calling Method Man a “thug.” He added: “You know his arrest record? I’m here for sports information.”
