Young Thug Seemingly References RICO Case On Kid Cudi’s “INSANO”

January 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, Kid Cudi finally unleashed his eagerly-anticipated ninth studio album, Insano. As expected, the project boasts numerous high-profile features from the likes of Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky, and more. He even tapped Young Thug for the track “RAGER BOYZ,” amid the YSL founder’s ongoing RICO trial.

As his defense team fights for the rapper’s freedom, Young Thug has continued to release music from behind bars. He unveiled a full album back in June, Business Is Business, and has gone on to appear on several other artists’ records. Of course, several of his songs allude to his persistent legal troubles, and his verse on Insano is no exception.

Kid Cudi & Young Thug Team Up For “RAGER BOYZ”

“Ayy, I told the judge, ‘I’m prolly biggest off’ / I told the b*tch she can’t be chargin’ me for Saint Laurent / Yeah, I told my baby not to break the law / I told my baby mama, careful not to get involved,” Young Thug rhymes. The chorus of the song, featuring both artists, also repeatedly emphasizes the sentiment, “Motherf*ck the law.” While fans appreciate Young Thug’s clever bars, some suspect that the judge might not, as prosecutors have already tried to use song lyrics against him in court.

As for Kid Cudi, he promises fans that there’s even more to come. After unveiling the 21-track Insano tracklist earlier this week, social media users made their disappointment known, as it was rumored that the project would include 40 songs. He took to social media to respond amid the chatter, reminding followers that a deluxe edition is in the works. “I said there will be a deluxe,” he wrote. “Patience.” What do you think of Young Thug seemingly mentioning his court case on “RAGER BOYZ” with Kid Cudi? How are you liking Insano so far? What’s your favorite song on the new album? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Young Thug Reveals What His Frequently Used Slang Words Actually Mean

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Young Thug revealed the true meaning behind some of his most commonly used slang words on Instagram, surprising fans in the process. According to his post, terms like “opp” and “slime” actually mean “overly positive pal” and “seeing lord in me everyday.” Despite the connotations they may carry, he assured listeners that the terms in his music are nothing but positive.

The post follows some recent claims made by his attorney Brian Steel, which managed to capture the attention of social media users. Towards the beginning of the YSL founder’s trial, Steel argued that the title of his 2022 track with Future and Gunna, “pushin P,” actually means “Pushing Positivity.” He also stated that Young Thug’s name means “Truly Humble Under God.”

Steel later shared how YSL got its name, claiming that it was a result of Young Thug’s friends frequently sporting Yves Saint Laurent women’s jeans, which featured the iconic acronym. Overall, fans have found humor in the defense attorney’s strategy, and it looks like Thugger has too. Prosecutors are using the rapper’s song lyrics against him in court, which many argue is unfair, as they don’t necessarily represent the truth.

Fat Joe, for example, recently came to Young Thug’s defense, claiming that plenty of his lyrics don’t reflect reality. “I’ve been rapping professionally for 30 years,” he told CNN‘s Gayle King. “I’ve lied in almost 95 percent of my songs. I’m being honest. I write like I feel that day. I’m just being creative. You couldn’t build a jail high enough for the lyrics I’ve said on songs, which are all untrue. What I am is a family man, the person who gives back to my community all the time, opens businesses in my community.” What do you think of Young Thug revealing the true meaning of the slang words he uses in his music?

Coi Leray Addresses Latto Mentioning Her In Her Song, Says Black Women Need To Come Together

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview with Angie Martinez, Coi Leray candidly opened up about her feelings regarding a mention in a song by fellow artist Latto. Leray expressed that the lyric “blunt big as Coi Leray” never sat right with her, shedding light on her perspective on body image, the impact of influential figures in the industry, and the importance of unity among black women. During the interview, Leray made it clear that she felt uncomfortable with the specific mention of her body in Latto’s song. “Nobody should be mentioning my body,” she asserted, emphasizing her belief in the necessity of solidarity among black women in the industry. Leray went on to highlight the shared struggle for positive representation and body positivity, drawing parallels to the challenges faced by herself and artists like Lizzo.

Coi Leray instead argued that the lyric created divide rather than unity. “As black women in the industry, the only way that the world is gonna go round the way we want it to, is if we come together,” she declared passionately. Leray highlighted the need for artists to be mindful of the impact their words can have on impressionable audiences, especially when it comes to matters of body image. “You can talk about my body,” she continued. “But when its coming from somebody who a lot of little girls look up to, a lot of people highly respect … then it’s like, no.”

The interview revealed Leray’s frustration with the lyrics. This isn’t the first time she’s spoken on it either. “It’s not a sensitive conversation,” Coi Leray told Ebro on Apple Music in June. “I feel like it wasn’t more about the body, it was more of mentioning my name. I’m about positivity. For real. And I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. And not only that, I feel like the problem with our community today is we be so quick to try to change things but we don’t do nothing to actually change anything.”

People in the comments of the video came to Leray’s defense, while others criticized her even more. “Oh girl go cry a river maybe it’s her comprehension skills cuz what latto said was a compliment, be serious,” one person said. “Coi, she literally said it wassnt a diss. Stop trying to make beef happen so bad..” another commented. “I thought Big as Coi Leray, meant like her as a trendsetter or artist. I never thought she was talking about her body. But I’m old school,” another chimed in. Regardless, Coi feels how she feels about the situation. Let us know your thoughts on HNHH!
