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. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

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.”

In response, Rosenberg got heated: “Greg, shut your mouth. Shut your st*pid, ignorant mouth. You know nothing about Method Man. He’s a thug? Shut your st*pid, racist mouth, Greg. How about that? Shut up. No more for you, Greg. Anyone who would look at a picture of Method Man and be offended, when you look up what he’s contributed to the world and you wanna call him a thug, you’re a racist piece of garbage.” Check out the clip below.

Later in the day, Rosenberg shared a clip of the incident on Twitter, asking fans whether he went hard enough. While discussing it with his followers, he further wrote: “He was offended so much by Method Man being my background that he could not talk about anything else…then he brought up a criminal record and called him a thug … im done playing games with these people … thats a racist .. lets accept it and move on.” One fan had complained about Rosenberg labeling the caller a “racist.”

Joe Budden & Peter Rosenberg Clash Over His Criticism Of Logic

by

The Internet had a lot to say about Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s “Today Was A Good Day” including Joe Budden and Peter Rosenberg. The podcast host made it evidently clear that he was not feeling Logic’s cover of the iconic record, specifically his use of the N-word. He explained in a fiery tirade that he felt Logic frequently panders to different groups with his records, such as “1-800-273-8255,” the hit record named after the suicide helpline. 

“Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement,” Budden said. “Never step near a recording device again! Throw your phone in the ocean! Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again! You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!” Budden’s comments towards Logic are only mildly surprising since he’s previously criticized the College Park rapper in the past. However, Joe Budden later apologized when Logic explained how hurtful the comments were, though others, like Peter Rosenberg, suggested the criticism came from a place of resent.

Joe Budden Vs. Peter Rosenberg

Though many disliked Logic’s cover, not everyone felt as passionately about it as Joe Budden. Twitter came for the Mood Muzik rapper, especially since Budden’s criticism evidently weighed heavy on Logic in the past. Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg suggested that Joe Budden’s own career in rap can’t hold a candle to Logic’s. “Logic has TWO Billboard Number 1 albums … 3 platinum albums, 1 gold album and a nearly diamond single,” Peter Rosenberg wrote. “sorry [Joe Budden] — i love ya..and the ice cube cover was not a great choice .. but he has done way too well in music for you to tell him anything.”

Rosenberg’s argument didn’t sway Budden’s opinion at all. “Love you too Pete but by this ‘logic’, you shouldn’t be telling me anything about podcasting,” he responded. Budden’s referencing his previous appearance on Hot 97 in 2016 where the former rapper walked out mid-interview. During the interview, Rosenberg explained that he didn’t feel like Budden gave him credit for setting him up with a studio for his podcast, the previously titled, I’ll Name This Podcast Later. However, Budden refuted those claims then. Check out Joe Budden’s response to Peter Rosenberg above. 

Ebro & Peter Rosenberg Debate 2Pac & Snoop’s “2 Of Americaz Most Wanted”

by

Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning co-hosts Ebro, Laura Stylez, and Peter Rosenberg are working on a collaborative list of the top 50 Songs in hip-hop history by selecting 10 songs every Thursday until August 10th. Listeners will have the final say to narrow down the selections by voting on the Hot 97 app and website. Debating selections during a recent episode, Ebro picked Tupac’s 1996 hit single “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted” featuring Snoop Dogg. Rosenberg adamantly disagreed with he nomination and the two went back and forth over the merits of the song.

“Never thought I’d see you throw away a pick like this,” said Rosenberg. From there, Ebro remarked: “The Tupac disrespect this week is gotta stop. It’s two days in a row. This record comes on today. It plays all the way through. It was huge when it happened. Tupac and Snoop. And Snoop was on trial at the time and he was in the courtroom. You even remember the visuals all these years later.”

Ebro, Laura Stylez, & Peter Rosenberg

“2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted” released in promotion of 2Pac’s fourth studio album, All Eyez on Me. It incorporates an interpolation of Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five’s song “The Message.” It was also the last song performed at the House of Blues concert on July 4, 1996, which was the rapper’s last recorded performance before his death.

As for the other 2Pac disrespect Ebro mentioned, Rosenberg argued that the rapper was placed too high on Billboard and Vibe’s top 50 rappers list at number 4. Ebro was clearly offended by the opinion at the time. “What are you talking about bro?,” Ebro responded. “Bro wrote ‘Dear Mama’ and ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ and ‘Brenda’s Got A Baby,’ like full stories. One song is one story. It didn’t deviate from the topic at all, which is something that many of the greats have never been able to do in one song. They deviate for a punch line or they don’t stay on topic for the sake of swag or whatever they are trying to do. ‘Pac would do a whole song on one topic.”
