YG Shocked It Took So Long For Tupac To Get A Hollywood Star

by

YG took to social media to share his opinion on Tupac receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame just recently. He thinks it’s messed up that the iconic rapper hadn’t been honored at the landmark up until now, and he’s not the only one. Several other social media users flocked to the comments section to agree with him. “It took them 25 years + to give Tupac a star on Hollywood Blvd?” YG asked. He then claimed, “Y’all got him f****ed all the way up.” “I completely agree!” one user wrote, adding, “Should have given him one a long time ago.” Another agrees, “mf the biggest star to come outta rap other than snoop, jay, & em from that era.”

Another artist, Boosie Badazz, also shared his thoughts about the star on Twitter. “Tupac ain’t ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME?” he wrote, “WTF THE DISRESPECT.” He also said, in typical Boosie fashion, “Don’t worry he saying F**K YALL from the Grave.”

Tupac’s Hollywood Star

It was recently announced that Tupac will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame sometime next week. Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame spoke to LA Times about the star. “Tupac Shakur was a rapper, actor, activist, poet, and revolutionary,” Martinez stated. She also went on to explain, “This iconic artist has continued to be part of the zeitgeist for decades after his passing and will continue to be an important cultural figure for many years to come. Surely, as one of L.A.’s own, Tupac’s star will be added to the list of most visited stars.”

Tupac’s star will be located at 6212 Hollywood Boulevard, alongside Big Boy, Missy Elliott, Cedric The Entertainer, Nipsey Hussle, DJ Khaled, Taraji P. Henson, Avril Lavigne, Jean Negulesco, and Jack Paar. The late rapper’s sister, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, will officially accept the star. Big Boy is set to host the ceremony, and Tupac’s godfather, Jamal Joseph, is also set to speak at the event.

Juvenile Feels Slighted By His Exclusion From Essence Festival

by

Juvenile is disappointed with Essence Festival. They have excluded him from the lineup commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop in New Orleans, his hometown. The festival shared flyers representing the performers for each day. Juvenile noticed his absence from the “The South Got Something To Say” set curated by Jermaine Dupri. Other artists like Big Boi, Gucci Mane, Lil Jon, Ludacris, and T.I. were listed. However, Juvenile questioned how Essence Fest could overlook his significant contributions to the city’s hip-hop scene.

When a fan pointed out that “The South Has Something To Say” featured many Atlanta rappers, Juvenile expressed his disappointment. He then stated that the festival organizers had failed to understand the significance of his omission. In response, Juvenile took to promoting another festival called “Donna Fest.” There, he and Mannie Fresh will be performing. He emphasized his deep connection to the city and its culture. He also highlighted the presence of a live band, including Rebirth, and an array of diverse food vendors. Juvenile urged his followers to attend, emphasizing the affordable ticket price of $25.

Juvenile’s Legacy In New Orleans And Beyond

Juvenile is a legendary figure in New Orleans rap. The rapper rose to fame during his time with Cash Money Records in the ’90s. He was involved with the Hot Boys alongside Lil Wayne, Turk, and B.G. He had a number of hugely successful hit songs. Included among those are “Back That Azz Up,” “Set It Off,” and “Slow Motion.” With such instantly recognizable songs, he has clearly made a lasting impact on the hip-hop genre.

During an interview at the 2023 Lovers and Friends Festival, Mannie Fresh expressed his belief that Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up” is the greatest love song ever. He made this declaration while emphasizing the decline of dance music and fun in contemporary artists’ focus on toughness and gangsterism. Mannie Fresh expressed his love for seeing people smile and have a good time, advocating for the importance of embracing joy and fun in music. While calling “Back That Azz Up” the greatest love song ever is debatable, it is certainly a classic. What do you think of Juvenile’s exclusion from Essence Fest? Let us know in the comments!

DJ Khaled Celebrates His Son

The internet is no stranger to DJ Khaled and his antics. Last month, he shared a video of himself cruising on a jet ski, letting fellow artist Future know he was on his way to him. Future responded to the DJ’s message, telling him “I’m not home, turn around,” alongside laughing-crying faces. He also got cooked by various followers and peers for a post that went viral recently, containing a clip of a look-alike of the DJ twerking. Wack 100 responded to the jarring footage, writing, “WTF DID I JUST SEE. NAW MAN THE WORLD IS CHANGING. THIS ISNT WHAT WE DO … JUST ASK THE COMMUNITY.” Waka Flocka Flame apparently didn’t like what he saw either, commenting “Unfollowing buddy right now.”

DJ also got some attention earlier this year for a Tweet that went viral calling him “fat.” The Tweet read, “Drake is retiring, Migos broken, DJ Khaled is fat, Rap game is in shambles rn.” The caption was accompanied by a meme from Peaky Blinders, showing Cillian Murphy holding a gun to his head.

Nick Cannon Gets Backlash For Joke About “Impregnating” Bianca Belair

by

Nick Cannon has gotten heat on social media recently after he made a questionable joke about WWE superstar, Bianca Belair. Belair was featured on a recent episode of Wild ‘N Out, along with her husband, fellow pro wrestler Montez Ford. Cannon remixed the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. “I get in one little fight, my mom got scared,” he began. “Because I wanted to impregnate Bianca Belair.” Some viewers claim that Belair seemed uncomfortable with Cannon’s remark, while others were more concerned that he said it in front of her husband.

“Nick Cannon is so disgusting with his behavior,” one Twitter user wrote. Another says, “Nick Cannon lucky af Montez Ford let him walk outta there after this. Bianca Belair was disgusted.” “I know my ears deceive me ain’t no way nick cannon said he wanted to get Bianca pregnant @BiancaBelairWWE that’s a threat girl contact the authorities,” a different commenter claims. Cannon has not yet responded to the backlash.

Some other users defended Cannon’s joke, claiming that Belair and Ford were likely briefed ahead of time. “Man I agree that there should be a line in comedy but Cmon…you should know what you’re getting yourself into if you go on Wild ‘N Out,” one fan writes. “They’ve gone way further than this before.” Another says, “Nick asks his guest before they go out is there lines he shouldn’t cross. It’s up to the guest to say yes or no.” “Lmao y’all just complain to complain at this point. They have said way worse on the show. If you don’t like it… don’t watch. My god,” another viewer wrote.

Some commenters brought his 12 children into the mix. One asked, “Nick Cannon has impregnated all but about 10 women on the planet why is this surprising?” Another claims, “A Nick Cannon sneeze could get a woman pregnant,” adding, “Montez might want a pregnancy test after Nick was so close to Bianca like that.”

Eminem Vs. Black Thought Debate Lights Up Twitter

by

A recent debate sparked by a Beats, Rhymes & Lists on Twitter has users sounding off about their picks. The post reads, “Who’s the stronger lyricist? Eminem vs Black Thought.” Some of the discussion was polarized, with users fiercely defending their pick, while other users just couldn’t seem to choose. Many users cited the different strengths and weaknesses of the two artists, claiming that they’re both better than each other at different things.

One user siding with Black Thought writes, “It comes down to how much you weigh the values of what is being said with how cleverly those things are being said.” They add, “For me it’s Thought. Craft, content, and consistency. But I so benefit from being 43 and having heard a lot more hip hop. No disrespect to Eminem.”

Some Users Claim They’re “Not Even Close”

Another cites the marketability of Eminem, writing, “Slim is a better star. More marketable, more latchable because of the audience. Maybe a better talent scout as well.” The user claims, “Thought though, actually spits circles around him when it comes to content.” Another Black Thought die-hard writes, “Black Thought and if you don’t think so explain to me how is Eminem better and I don’t wanna hear nothing about numbers I’m talking pure rap skills. Eminem hard but he not better than Thought, imo old Em was harder than Em of today.”

Eminem supporters also took to the comments to defend their pick. One writes, “Em. Black Thought is Dope, but his rhyme schemes are not as unique as Em’s. His work on the Roots albums were good, but some of it wasn’t that complex. Em has better storytelling tracks and more double entendres.” Another says, “Eminem, but Black Thought for knowledge and deep storylines, except for ‘Stan.’ ‘Stan’ was extremely well put together IMO. But black thought has a hole catalog of shit that has meaning over incredible wordplay. And tell me one person who is still not in love with. ‘You Got Me.’” A different user says, “Talking strictly skill set, Black thought doesn’t come close to Em. The only issue with Em however, is that we don’t always like the subject matter. And the issue with rap fans is that they stay defensive and can’t be objective about anything.”
