Ralo Responds To Backlash Over Alleged “Weird” Behavior At Rich Homie Quan’s Funeral

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Homie Quan’s funeral service was an emotional, sad, but also uplifting and beautiful ceremony in Atlanta this week. However, according to an eyewitness account from DJ Pretty Boy Tank, there were some disrespectful people in the crowd, including rapper Ralo. “He was sitting behind me in the funeral being weird & talking the entire time .. Even said he almost went live in the services smh,” he alleged. “Buddy kept blowing his nose like a trumpet too … Almost had to curse a lady out for taking a pic of the casket as well .. Yall be acting weird as hell at known people’s funerals.”

According to AllHipHop, Ralo – who previously blasted fake love for Rich Homie Quan – responded to this claim via a social media PSA video. “If you don’t want to see me on the Internet, then you know what you got to do,” he reportedly remarked. “Get off the Internet, b***h. ‘Cause I ain’t. Soon as a n***a say something good about somebody, you d**k riding. Soon as you try to post a n***a that’s dead, you d**k riding. Do y’all motherf***ers ever say anything good?”

“Not one person on this earth can show Wea I pulled a phone out Inside that man funeral,” Ralo also claimed online following Rich Homie Quan’s funeral. “Every body at the graves site had they phone out but they wanna come to Ralo. Matter fact what other rappers was there other than me and Boosie????” For those unaware, the two MCs previously had beef, but they were able to settle their differences before RHQ passed away. Sadly, Quan could not say the same for some of his other reported conflicts, such as his strained relationship with Young Thug.

Meanwhile, speaking of Young Thug, Ralo recently clowned YSL RICO trial witness Lil Woody for being a special guest at a law class. “Like I said he round this bih living it up,” he wrote on social media once he became amused by the clip he came across. It seems like the Atlanta spitter will continue to defend himself online and give his unfiltered takes on rap happenings.

September 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Homie Quan died far too soon. The rapper passed on September 4 at the age of 34. He leaves behind a storied legacy of 2010s hits and scene-stealing guest verses. He had more music in the vault, however. Rich Homie Quan’s first posthumous single, “Song Cry,” has been released. It’s unclear if the song is meant to spearhead an entire posthumous album, but it’s a tender song that proves doubly hard to listen to given the rapper is no longer with us.

“Song Cry” is as somber and emotional as its title suggests. Rich Homie Quan even addresses the way his biggest songs are perceived, and urges listeners to take this particular release more seriously. It’s not hard to see why. The beat, which is driven by a tinkling piano and a driving drum pattern, sees Quan lean into the more strained parts of his vocals. He’s really laying his feelings and his singing voice bare while he raps about the difficult things he endured during his life. “This a song cry, I know you hear that sh*t,” he says during the pre-chorus. “Listen to the song cry. You gotta feel that sh*t.” Rich Homie Quan even sounds like his former Rich Gang partner, Young Thug, at times during the song.

Quotable Lyrics:

This lifestyle I live, real, I can’t fake this here
And for the people in the back, so they can help me
So I can build my crib
I been bothered since I was a jit, so I been in that field
I had been through so much sh*t, wish you could heal my tears

Since the sorrowful news of Rich Homie Quan’s tragic death, fans of the “Spin” rapper have continued to listen through his discography.

What is even more heartbreaking for fans is he had just wrapped up a new project shortly before his death, which could mean a posthumous album is on the way. This news is all according to the late musician’s father, Corey Lamar. On September 7, Lamar sat down with WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden to discuss his son’s life up to the last moments.

“We had just completed a 20- or 25-song project, and we were in the process of scheduling two video shoots off our project,” he said. “Quan has probably over 2,000 unreleased songs. But once he gets in a mode to record those songs become old to him. And when they become old he wants to focus on the new stuff. He has a catalog in the vault. He has a ton of music that the fans need to hear.”

So, who could fans expect to hear on the project should it ever be released? In the chat, Lamar shared that Rich Homie Quan just wrapped up collaborations with 2 Chainz and Plies.

Posthumous album are an extremely delicate situation. Still, many of rap’s fallen figures including Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, DMX, XXXTentacion, Young Dolph, and Pop Smoke’s estates approved the release of a project after the untimely deaths. Many of which of gone on to shift the culture.
