50 Cent Refuses To Believe He Lost A Rap Beef, But Gives Jadakiss Mad Props

by

50 Cent has had and continues to have plenty of beefs with hip-hop giants. One of his nastiest ones is with Ja Rule, and it still sort of seems to be going on. However, it’s worth mentioning that it is nowhere as serious as it once was. It was at or near its peak in the early to mid-2000s, when he dropped “New York” featuring Fat Joe and Jadakiss. Unbeknownst to the latter, him joining his once extremely mortal enemy would then lead him to become another foe. From there, Jada and Fif would go on to trade some tracks, with the former dropping the most notable in “Checkmate.”

However, unlike most of the feuds he has, this one with The LOX MC didn’t last all that long. Over the years, Jada has explained on various occasions as to why it was so short-lived. In an interview with Talib Kweli about four years ago, he explains, “I think Fif was really a fan… We was rocking with him, rooting for him — always rooting for the underdog. His story is one of the greatest stories.” That respect continued later on in the chat, “He came through one day. He called to say, ‘Yo, I’m coming through.’ He came through by himself. Sat down, kicked it for a few hours… He actually had a song for me and a song for [Styles] P to get on, on whatever album he was working on, and it’s been good ever since. It wasn’t even that serious. The people kind of blew it up more than it was.”

50 Cent & Jadakiss Continue To Grow Respect For One Another Years After Their Beef

Overall, that admiration and growth in their relationship has been super strong, even four years after those comments. 50 Cent popped out to Big Boy’s radio station for an interview recently to talk all the major topics in the genre currently. However, they took some time to look back on this Jadakiss situation. In classic Fif fashion, he was hilariously stubborn.

But in that same breath, he was willing to give Kiss his shine for his pen game during the battle. 50 believes that he never truly lost to him, but he admitted that his previous had moments where it got him to be like, “Ooh that was good.” 50 also goes to say that despite the structure of the songs against him not being that well executed, the bars were just that good in his eyes.

Dr. Dre Gives Timbaland His Flowers, Says He Has Been “One His Main Inspirations”

by

Producers sometimes do not always get the credit the rightfully deserve. Even when some have earned a reputation amongst their counterparts, the fans usually give all the shine to the performers you can see attached to the track. However, even if fans know Timbaland and Dr. Dre, audibly hearing that they are great talents always feels good. Well, that is exactly what happened not too long ago. According to HipHopDX, Dr. Dre made sure to tell Timbaland that he was one of his biggest inspirations and continues to be to this day.

This all went down at a High School Education Benefit Auction at the Iovine and Young Center. Dre started off by saying, “This guy is so fantastic, man. One of my inspirations. He doesn’t know it but he’s been one of my main inspirations throughout my career.”

That gushing continued, as the crowd cheered and clapped for this brotherly connection. “I really appreciate you coming out and handling this business for us. Thank you, Timbaland. One of the best ever. Point blank. Period.” Timbo then shared the video footage from that speech on his Instagram. He captioned the post, thanking him and calling him a “hero.” Man this moment rite here is everything to me !!!! If anybody know me @drdre is my hero !!!!!! What a night!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯”

What are your thoughts on Dr. Dre telling Timbaland he is one of his biggest inspirations? Do Timbo and Dre deserve spots on the Mt. Rushmore of hip-hop producers, why or why not?

Blueface Claims To Empower & Respect Women, Asks Rapper For The Smoke

by

Blueface recently took to Twitter with some very interesting claims considering his long and chaotic relationship history. “I empower women, I respect women,” he recently expressed on the social media platform with no further context. Of course, this very slightly makes sense because of the rapper’s propensity to try to turn his baby mamas into successful artists, which he will try again on a new show with Zeus soon. However, when you look at how he actually treats and speaks about these women, you’ll find a much more worrisome pattern that doesn’t really reflect much empowerment or respect. We don’t want to play a blame game here, though; it’s what happens with toxic couples that display their dysfunction online.

Furthermore, a lot of people had fun with this on the site, reminiscing on all the times that Blueface proved this wrong with his actions. Still, that’s not to say that women haven’t disrespected and tried to ruin him before, albeit to a lesser degree. For example, Chrisean Rock recently made a claim that surely won’t sit right with the California MC due to his close-mindedness, but that would be pretty normal otherwise. She alleged that he’s bisexual, and that she found that he searched for homosexual male adult videos.

In other news, Blueface also caught some strays from fellow spitter X4 on his IG Live session on Monday night (December 11), in which he dissed his manager Wack 100. Then, he went into the rapper’s DMs, and challenged him to put his money where his mouth is. “So you don’t wan get down? You turning it down?” the “Thotiana” artist jabbed at X4. “ON NHC PULL UP TO THE HOOD TMMR,” he responded. “DEADHOMIES. FC. FC. IM NOT 1 OF THEM. U GONE SEE.”

“You beat the case cuz you ain’t do it,” Blue clapped back. “YOU TRYNA GET ME TO TELL ON MYSELF,” X4 retorted. “BYE POLICE INO A COP WHEN I SEE ONE.” “So you don’t wan squabble up just say you turning it down cuz,” Jaidyn Alexis’ former boo went on. “You a day room n***a you not the type to go rack them bunks and get cracking.

Both have their idiosyncracies and are always looking toward the future of what still can be done with music. Well, both of them got a huge shoutout from Andre in the clip above. “I see it visually. I see it more in spirit and people pushing things and trying things, and I love the spirit.” He continues, “Like you see Tyler and them, you see Teezo Touchdown and those guys and you’re like, ‘ah.’” 3000 further explains that they are not copycats, but yet a new version of him that is unique. “The coolest thing is it’s not like a signing, it’s not like a copy. It’s the next, it’s a lineage.”

What are your initial thoughts on Andre 3000 saying he sees and hears himself in Tyler, The Creator, and Teezo Touchdown’s music?

T.I. Explains Why He Will Always Respect LeBron James

by

T.I. is an Atlanta legend and will forever be seen that way. Overall, he has classic records and some classic songs that will forever be iconic. Additionally, through his fame, he has been able to secure friendly relationships with people outside of hip-hop. For instance, the artist is good friends with none other than LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is currently battling the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs. However, it was his actions as a Cavalier that have always stuck with Tip.

Recently, T.I. was on the show Broken Play where he revealed why he is such a fan of LeBron James. Overall, it boils down to a moment in 2009, where LeBron ate dinner at T.I.’s grandmother’s house. This just so happened to be not long before her passing. “I’ma always be a LeBron James fan and I’ll tell you why,” T.I. explained. “The last Mother’s Day my grandmama was alive, LeBron came to my grandmama house and sat on my grandmama porch, right on Bankhead. [He] ate barbecue and kicked it with me, my grandmama and all my cousins.”

T.I. Has Lots Of Love For LeBron

From there, T.I. went on to say that this was in the middle of the playoffs, which made it more special. Furthermore, LeBron left an impression on the artist’s grandmother. There were times when she would ask where LeBron was and what he was up to. Needless to say, James has a huge heart. “Right before they kicked the Hawks’ ass and went on to the Goddamn Eastern Conference Finals, and that’s the year that she died,” he added. “She always, ‘Where that tall fella?!’ Yeah, LeBron came to Bankhead. He wasn’t a billionaire at the time, but he left that billionaire residue. So I’ma always be a LeBron fan.”

These stories are always heartwarming to hear. These days, it feels like we are constantly inundated with bad news. However, there are other times when the news cycle is actually positive. This just so happens to be one of those instances. Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Lil Yachty Wants A Collab Album With Tyler, The Creator

by

Let’s Start Here is one of the most talked about and acclaimed albums of the year so far, and its creator is looking to continue in that direction. Moreover, Lil Yachty recently expressed that he’d love to do a collab album with Tyler, the Creator. Not only that, but he told Billboard during an interview that the Golf Wang mogul inspired him to experiment in the first place. While many turned Yachty’s album into thinkpiece fodder, its most triumphant victory is the sheer quality, creativity, and artistic vision on display regardless of what he did or didn’t do before. In a similar way, Tyler’s been one of the most evolutionary and artistically motivated figures of our time, so the connection is unsurprising but incredibly exciting.

“[Tyler] is the reason I made this album,” the Atlanta creator expressed. “He’s the one who told me to do it, just go for it. He’s so confident and I have so much respect for him because he takes me seriously, and he always has.” Later in the interview, he added, “I would love to do a project with Tyler.” 

Lil Yachty & Tyler, The Creator Collab Album Could Happen One Day

Of course, this should send fans of either or both artists into a frenzy. Furthermore, the 25-year-old crafted one of the year’s most definitive pieces of music so far, kicking off 2023 with a lot of discussion and acclaim. Meanwhile, fans of T know that he’s due another project quite soon, as it’s an odd year and it’s been two years since his last album. The former Odd Future boss hasn’t strayed from his release schedule yet, although he’s so deep into his acclaimed career that a switch-up wouldn’t be frustrating at all.

Still, if a collaborative track, album, video, or whatever else sees the light of day, it should make for a really colorful team-up. After all, their track “T.D.” from Yachty’s Lil Boat 3 was a fun banger that also featured A$AP Rocky and Tierra Whack. However you may feel about their music, you can’t deny that they’re two of the rap-adjacent world’s most boundary-pushing leaders in 2023. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Lil Yachty and Tyler, the Creator.
