Drake Astoundingly Receives Praise From Joe Budden In Shocking Turn Of Events

by

Yesterday, there was a potential theory that DJ Akademiks was entertaining in regard to Drake dropping music at a certain time. The hip-hop pundit recalled past conversations with Joe Budden about how the latter felt that Drake was purposely dropping tracks after the podcaster would record his episodes, that way he would react to them late. Budden recognized this pattern during the heat of the Kendrick Lamar beef, and at first, Akademiks was quick to dismiss it. However, after letting it marinate and noticing when Drake put out his most recent 100gigs.org three-pack, he’s now fully of that same belief.

In our report, we noted that we were curious to see what Joe Budden would have to say, given what we just outlined. Would he address this trend he feels is real? Was he going to rip the songs to shreds even more so because of that? Well, with the second weekly episode of The Joe Budden Podcast now up today, according to a tweet from joebuddenclips, we have our answer.

Joe Budden Says This Is His Favorite Three-Pack From Drake

In a major plot twist, the controversial host actually had the complete opposite reaction to “Supersoak (SOD)”, “No Face”, and “Circadian Rhythm”. While reacting to the former of the trio, Budden was visibly enjoying the track and saying that this three-pack is his favorite out of the two. Later into the panel’s conversation, he says that he also thinks that “he’s doing a decent job now in post battle recovery”. However, in that same breath, Budden just wants Drake to be with his team and his team only and just go to work on slowly returning to form. Additionally, he’s not really hoping that Drake and Kendrick start “game 2”, but he’s going to have a “front-row seat” if it does go down to no one’s surprise.

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden giving Drake praise for his newest trio of tracks? Do you think he’s trying get in Drizzy’s good graces, why or why not? What do foresee happening next between The Boy and Kendrick Lamar? 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 Drake and Joe Budden. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Joe Budden Rips Yung Miami To Shreds For Laughing At “Pump It Up” Plaque

by

Earlier this week, Joe Budden received a gold plaque from the RIAA for his 2003 single, “Pump It Up.” While the feat is certainly one to celebrate, despite arriving 21 years after the track’s release, Yung Miami didn’t think so. She took to X to issue a shady response to the news, making it clear that she was not impressed.

Yung Miami reacted with a simple series of laughing emojis. Instead of engaging right away, Budden decided to bow out altogether. “It would be too easy,” he wrote. “Maybe tmw lol.” She then called him a bully, slamming him for laughing at other people’s accomplishments and suggesting she was giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Joe Budden Claims Yung Miami Would Be “Dead Last” On List Of Best Female Rappers

Now, however, he’s responded directly to the shade during an episode of his podcast. In a clip from the episode, he clarified that he doesn’t plan to disrespect Yung Miami or call her out her name, instead choosing to keep things professional. He went on to rip her career to shreds, claiming that on a list of the best female rappers, she would be “dead last.” Budden added that he didn’t expect Yung Miami to go after him like this, particularly considering issues with her label she admitted to on Caresha Please.

In the explosive season 2 premiere of her podcast, she revealed that her label told her they haven’t been seeing enough growth from her as an artist, which explains why she hasn’t put more music out. What do you think of Yung Miami clowning Joe Budden because his 2003 single just went gold? What about him dissing her in response? Who do you think is in the right? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Eminem’s Daughter Reveals Her Emotional Reaction To His New Musical Tributes

by

Eminem’s new album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) is an unsurprisingly irreverent and fiery project overall, but it also has some very tender and emotional moments. More specifically, the tracks “Temporary” featuring Skylar Grey and “Somebody Save Me,” featuring a Jelly Roll sample, tribute his family and his children. The Detroit legend’s daughter Hailie Jade recently revealed her tear-jerked reaction to these songs via her Just A Little Shady podcast. While some fans might have found these and other songs on this new album to be overkill or corny, that all becomes moot when compared to how it struck a chord with who it was really meant to reach.

“I watched it in entirety and I don’t think I can do it again,” Hailie Jade said of Eminem’s new music video for “Somebody Save Me.” “I definitely cry every time I hear it at all. Between that and ‘Temporary’… I mean, I can’t. I audibly sobbed, I think, for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary.’ Watching the [‘Somebody Save Me’] video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job growing up where I didn’t realize how bad things were.

Hailie Jade’s comments on the Eminem songs begin around the 27-minute mark.

“I think that’s why I get emotional so much just thinking that that could have happened,” Hailie Jade expressed while choking up around Eminem’s dangerous addiction and his reflections on almost overdosing. “And obviously that’s the point of the song. But I will say, if you’ve ever lost an addict or loved one, I feel for you.” But things weren’t all sad. She also said it was “fun” to see herself and her family in old footage in the “Somebody Save Me” visual.

Meanwhile, Hailie Jade admitted that she still has a hard time getting through Eminem’s 2004 classic “Mockingbird” without crying. “The older I get, the less I can listen to any of the songs,” she shared. “I’ve done enough crying and I told myself I refuse.” Sometimes, music is for a very particular person, and even those outside of this dynamic can understand the weight of the situation.

Offset Appears To React To Pooh Shiesty Making His Move On Cardi B

by

Yesterday, Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty was not going to let anything stop him from shooting his shot with Cardi B. Currently, the “Back in Blood” creator is behind bars, doing time for federal conspiracy charge from January 2022. He is now almost two years into the sentence, with just about three years and two months to go. At various points, the former 1017 signee has popped onto social media, and it almost always causes a stir amongst fans. However, Pooh Shiesty attempting to woo the ex-wife of Offset definitely takes the cake over everything else he’s done online while behind bars.

Cardi B went on Instagram Live the other day and the Southern hip-hop star was ready to risk it all. “I’m 5 mins away baby open the door”. Obviously, she is going through quite a bit right now. Cardi is currently pregnant with her and Offset’s third child, and they are also going through their second divorce. It’s still pretty unclear as to what led to her coming to this decision. However, there are a couple of factors that fans are mulling over.

Since that bombshell dropped, the former Migo has been acting out by going on head-scratching rants, for example. Now, according to HipHopDX, he appears to be reacting to Pooh Shiesty’s advances. Overall, he didn’t have much to say other than a few laughing emojis, “😂😂😂😂”. Fans have all sorts of reactions, with some claiming that Cardi is nowhere near being truly single. “She’ll probably let him hit tho 😂”, one user jokes. Others are hilariously warning Offset that his contemporary might actually weasel his way in. “Be careful offset, Pooh really Shiesty”. Additionally, fans were dishing out some helpful dating/marriage advice. “Moral of the story… Treat yo person right cuz it’s 10000000000000 other people waiting 😅😅😂😂”.

What are your thoughts on Offset appearing to react to Pooh Shiesty shooting his shot with Cardi B? Do you think she will entertain the currently incarcerated rapper? Is this sort of a shady move on the part of the Memphis MC, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

by

A couple of days ago, Kodak Black put out quite a distressing message on his Instagram Story. “Now I understand nobody give af about me if I ain’t paying💔 Lonely af out here bro😣”. Fans shared their thoughts in the comments section and most of them were pretty supportive. It’s not totally clear on who or what he was referring to. But given his profession, there are people out there who will claim to be your friend or say they love you. However, in reality, they could be in their life to see if they can freeload and mooch off of their wealth. Regardless of what Kodak Black was talking about, Sexyy Red wanted to make sure that she hears his sentiment.

“What’s up Yak?”, Red began. “I seen your post. Motherf***ers don’t love you if ain’t got no money for them. I said I feel you Yak. It’s okay. We fixing to go on tour”.

Joe Budden Has A Strong Reaction To Tyler The Creator’s Alleged Criticism Of Ian

by

Tyler, The Creator’s recent interview with Maverick Carter stirred the pot, to say the least. His comments on an unnamed white rapper (perhaps a stand-in for many white artists) rubbed many fans the wrong way, especially fans of Ian. People thought that Tyler was talking about him when he spoke on white rappers mocking hip-hop, particularly the styles of MCs like Gucci Mane and Future. This is what led people to Ian, but the Hawthorne native never explicitly identified him in any way, so this is all pretty out of context. Nevertheless, The Joe Budden Podcast‘s thoughts on Tyler’s remarks are the same either way, and they discussed the implications of this conversation.

“I don’t know who the f**k Ian is,” Joe Budden’s thoughts on the Tyler, The Creator debate began. “When I was younger, I used to shame my older cousins and uncles for not being so in tune with what was going on in hip-hop. They was old and washed. Now that I’m old and washed, I really appreciate not being in tune with whoever the f**k Ian is.

“You n***as got to do a little [more],” Joe Budden continued. “My famous people guard is up, y’all got to do a little more before I start running around saying ‘Ian.’ Who the f**k is Ian? Alright. Rest in peace Mac Miller, for sure, and couldn’t agree with him more on that point [about Mac and Eminem being more genuine]. I don’t know enough about Ian, but what I can say about Mac Miller, Russ, Eminem: they love this s**t. They live it. MC Shan produced “Informer”? I used to f**k with Snow before I knew race played such a huge factor in the country.”

Elsewhere, the podcast hosts also talked about trusted individuals in the industry pushing these white rappers and about the respectable tendency of some white MCs to not pretend like they’re a part of the culture. We know that Tyler, The Creator definitely struck a chord in Ian’s manager, who called him out amid all the speculation. Even if Ian wasn’t the intended target here, it’s no wonder why people pushed him to the forefront of the drama.

50 Cent Reacts To Lil Rod Attending His Shreveport Festival Amid Diddy Lawsuit

by

50 Cent’s “Humor & Harmony Weekend” event in Shreveport, Louisiana saw a lot of celebrities pull up to indulge in the festivities. He wanted as many people as possible there, and a recently viral clip suggests that he’s probably very happy with who came through. Moreover, Uncle Murda ran into Lil Rod at the shindig amid the producer’s lawsuit against Diddy, and Rod even called the executive out for owing him money for it. “Hey everyone was invited, it was the place to be that weekend. [shrug emoji] what you want me to do? LOL,” Fif reacted to this development online.

“I got my n***a that’s suing Diddy for all that bread,” Uncle Murda said at 50 Cent’s event while filming Lil Rod next to him. “Stop playing, n***a. My boy want that check, n***a. We want that money by Monday, Diddy.” “I’m from Chicago. We don’t play about our business. I want my money by Monday,” Rod added. Considering the ill will that the G-Unit mogul has for his Bad Boy counterpart, this isn’t much of a surprise. We’ll see what other Instagram antics follow when it comes to that rivalry.

50 Cent Reacts To Lil Rod Calling Diddy Out At His Shreveport Event

“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Diddy’s lawyer Shawn Holley stated to HipHopDX concerning Lil Rod’s claims. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with [Lil Rod]’s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent thinks that the silence on Diddy’s allegations on behalf of many celebrities suggests their compliance. “I’m the only person in hip-hop culture that has produced any hit television. Why wouldn’t I be the person to produce it?” he told US Weekly about his Sean Combs documentary. “And I’m not on the tapes. See, some of the people who have been around in the culture who are not saying anything. That’s because they’ve been to the parties… They don’t know what part of their experiences are on tape. So it keeps them quiet. And it looks like I’m the only guy, but I’ve been [saying] for years that something’s not right.”

50 Cent Reacts To Approaching Billionaire Status

by

50 Cent has built an impressive empire for himself and his family, and evidently, it’s paid off monetarily too. Aside from a successful music career, he’s taken over the realm of entertainment with several hit series and launched the second-largest Black-owned production studio in Shreveport earlier this year. Now, he’s reportedly approaching billionaire status, though he tells US Weekly that the feat isn’t all that exciting to him.

“I’m not in a hurry to reach billionaire status,” he explained. “I’ve reached a point where I don’t want anything I don’t have. What’s the rush? I’ve bought every car I wanted, multiple times over.” Moreover, Fif noted that being extremely wealthy can put you at risk, as everyone’s looking to get a piece of the pie.

50 Cent Still Wants A Discount

“When people publicly say you’re a billionaire, they come for what you have,” he described. “The IRS might suddenly decide they want 58 percent of your money. The ambulance chasers, the attorneys — it’s an army of ’em after you.” Regardless, 50 Cent decided to celebrate his accomplishments on Instagram today. He shared an article about how he’s almost a billionaire, adding that this doesn’t mean he’s trying to pay full price for things if he doesn’t have to.

“I don’t want this to make you think I don’t need a discount, because I want a discount. LOL,” he said. While it’s unclear exactly when 50 Cent will officially become a billionaire, it was recently reported that Young Buck is preparing to pay off his $250K debt. A $1 billion lawsuit against him from a former drug kingpin was also recently dismissed, as well as another $40 million wiretapping lawsuit. What do you think of 50 Cent approaching billionaire status? Are you surprised or not? What about his reaction to the exciting news?

Chrisean Rock’s Mugshot Has Soulja Boy In Tears

by

Chrisean Rock’s difficult legal situation these days is causing a whole lot of social media debating and discussing, which can range from seriously critical to mockingly comical. Moreover, Soulja Boy definitely seems to relate more to the latter of these options, as he reacted to her new mugshot with a series of crying-laughing emojis on Twitter. While it’s a very simple response and one that doesn’t really add anything relevant to the conversation, it is sadly emblematic of how some people are looking at this whole thing. They just chuckle, think about all of the Baltimore native’s past antics, and move on without missing a beat.

For those unaware, Chrisean Rock is reportedly facing up to eight years in prison on drug charges, but there are little details as to whether the court already convicted her. Also, there are other alleged assault incidents to take into account which some reports indicate could connect to her arrest in a courtroom. Chrisean was there to support her volatile boo Blueface’s own complicated prison stint, and she found herself in a legal pickle herself. Hopefully the near future holds some more clarifications as to what will happen with them and their family, as many are concerned for their child.

As for Chrisean Rock’s on-and-off again boo, Blueface received a four-year prison sentence for probation violations. “I want to get on here and thank everybody for all the love and all the support today,” his mother Karlissa Saffold shared on Instagram after the verdict. “All the prayers, I’ve seen all the prayers and I thank y’all so much. I don’t want y’all to think that god didn’t show up today because he did, and if you was in the courtroom, you heard Johnathan take accountability, you heard Johnathan sound like Johnathan.

“He’s in his right frame of mind,” Saffold went on. “We didn’t get the verdict we wanted today. But we got some closure. We got new beginnings, and we’re all hopeful for this to go by smooth and quickly.” With all these situations in mind, and considering Soulja Boy’s previous beef with Blueface and Chrisean Rock, this type of reaction to their arrests is unfortunately common.

Blueface’s Four-Year Prison Sentence Leaves Jaidyn Alexis Unbothered

by

Yesterday (August 9), Blueface attended a court hearing, where he and his loved ones got some disappointing news. The rapper was handed a four-year prison sentence, which is far from what they had been expecting. His mother Karlissa Saffold had already been preparing to welcome him home. His manager Wack 100 predicts he’ll be out in roughly ten months. That’s if Blueface gets credit for 440 days served, and the state only makes him serve one-third of his remaining sentence.

Of course, it remains to be seen what actually plays out in this case, though the lengthy sentence has elicited big reactions nonetheless. Aside from Blueface’s parents, one person supporters have been particularly curious to hear from is Jaidyn Alexis. She has two children with the rapper, though they appear to have gone their separate ways earlier this year.

She’s kept pretty quiet since Blueface turned himself in back in January, and seemingly rekindled his bond with the mother of his third child, Chrisean Rock. Regardless, fans are curious about how she feels about all of this. Based on a Tweet posted shortly after the sentencing, she couldn’t care less, or at least doesn’t care to share her feelings on the internet. “dnd in the studio,” she wrote simply, making a point to leave out any mention of the major news.

Fans in Jaidyn’s replies are praising her for focusing on herself and her children amid her ex’s legal issues, and are looking forward to hearing more music from the “Stewie” performer. What do you think of Blueface receiving a four-year prison sentence at his court hearing earlier this week? Are you surprised or not? What about Jaidyn Alexis’ recent message about hitting the studio? Are you looking forward to hearing whatever it is she’s cooking up?
