Lord Jamar Accuses The Notorious B.I.G. Of Having The Most “Out-Of-Pocket” Lyrics Ever

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lord Jamar says that The Notorious B.I.G. is responsible for some of the most “out-of-pocket” lyrics of all time. He discussed the legendary rapper’s music during a recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue which touched on the arrest of Diddy. Authorities charged the Bad Boy mogul with alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, but he’s already pleaded not guilty.

“Biggie has some of the most out-of-pocket lyrics of any rapper ever and hopefully there will never be a rapper with worse lyrics,” Jamar began. “But there’s so much sh*t that Biggie said that people just overlooked at the time and now, when we fast-forward to where we’re at, and hear about all the sh*t with Puff, now, certain things are not aging. It was bad back then but it’s aging even worse.” He further remarked: “I don’t care how good a woman looks, I would never give fellatio to her father because she’s so beautiful.” From there, Jamar brought up a rumor about a transgender model allegedly appearing in the music video for “Big Poppa.”

In response to Jamar’s comments, several users on social media came to Biggie’s defense. “Nahhhh don’t connect it to Puff,” one fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. “Biggie was intentionally being provocative because he could. His wordplay was out of this world and sometimes he had to dabble in darkness for emphasis.” Another user wrote: “Lord Jamar talking about Big and Puff are the only way he’s getting any attention. He’s not even saying anything original smh.”

Drake Trash Talks Black People Around White People, Lord Jamar Speculates

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amid Kendrick Lamar’s viral lyrical battle with Drake, he told the Toronto-born performer that he doesn’t like when he uses the n-word, calling it “cringe-worthy.” This became one of the most memorable jabs of the entire feud, as it called Drake’s role in hip-hop culture into question, stirred up “culture vulture” accusations, and more.

Now, Lord Jamar has weighed in on the debate, revealing that he agrees with Kendrick. “I’m not a Drake album fan,” he began. “I don’t like… how he turns his sh*t on and off, you know what I mean? […] It’s just like, n****a who are you?” He went on, theorizing that Drake acts a lot differently around white people, and even speaks negatively about Black people.

Lord Jamar Claims Drake Shouldn’t Use The N-Word

“That’s not who you really are,” Lord Jamar said of Drake using the n-word. “Like I could see you going back to the white people when nobody is around and saying ‘Yeah, I say n***a in my rhymes and they don’t say anything to me. That’s because they think I’m one of them, but I’m really one of you.’” He continued, urging Drake to stop trying to play both sides. “It’s like come on man,” he explained. “You’ve got to choose a lane, bro. Choose a lane. He wants to be everything to all people it seems like, and you can’t do that. You’ve got to pick a side.”

Drake isn’t the only artist he was critical of during the interview, however. He also took aim at Sexyy Red, accusing her of being an industry plant and going after her appearance. What do you think of Lord Jamar speculating that Drake speaks poorly of Black people around white people? What about him claiming that he shouldn’t use the n-word? Do you agree with him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Foresees His Arrest For 2Pac’s Murder Coming Soon

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, claims an arrest for the Bad Boy mogul regarding the killing of 2Pac is imminent. During an appearance on The Art of Dialogue, Deal speculated how a federal investigation into Diddy, which included the Homeland Security raids on his properties, last month, could be coming to a close.

“The feds are so deep and involved in this that Diddy just might be called up on that 2Pac sh*t,” Deal alleged. “Once they go through the money trail and find out why certain people were given certain positions, it’s going to be a problem because they’re going to look at all that. Anything they can bring up, they’re going to bring it up.”

Diddy & Cassie Attend GQ’s Men Of The Year Party

From there, he mentioned an alleged million-dollar check handed to Eric Von Zip. He claims it was payment for a hit on the legendary rapper. “When Zip came up with the check for a million dollars, he said it was from Blackground Records and he said that’s who he got that money from. So now, if that’s true, then the feds would have to go in and do a money trace on where did that check come from,” Deal further claimed.

Gene Deal Speaks On Diddy

Deal also mentioned the recent release of footage showing Diddy appearing to assault Cassie at a hotel in 2016. “That’s why that tape of Cassie was released,” he argued. “So, anybody who was willing to try to help him, anybody who was trying to say that he ain’t capable of doing this, he ain’t capable of doing that, they got it right there on videotape.” If Diddy does face criminal charges for any of the allegations, Deal has previously admitted he’d be willing to testify. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Benzino Still Thinks His Arch-Enemy Eminem ‘Sucks,’ Despite What He Drunkenly Confessed In A Recent Viral Clip

February 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just when the public thought Benzino’s longstanding disdain for Eminem was over, the decades-long feud is right back on and more heated than ever. On February 17, Benzino appeared on the Drink Champs podcast. After hours of enjoying the adult beverages on set, Benzino somewhat drunkenly confessed that he didn’t have anything “against Eminem” and that he actually believes “[Eminem] can rap.”

Ultimately, he vowed not to address the tension anymore as he felt that it impacted his daughter, Uproxx cover star Coi Leray’s career. But that promise has since been spoiled. During a sit down with The Art of Dialogue on February 21, Benzino, a.k.a. “The Eminem Slayer,” shared that he still thinks his arch-emeny sucks.

“‘Rap Elvis’ already destroyed him,” he said. “I already killed him with ‘Rap Elvis.’ Where’s he at? Where’s the response? I want to battle him face-to-face. I think he’s overrated. I think he sucks as a rapper. And it’s f*ck anybody that’s with him. I bombed on him. I’m going to continue to bomb on him. I’m going to continue to expose him.”

Drunk mouths are supposed to speak a sober mind. But in Benzino’s case, it appears to have been the exact opposite.

Watch the full interview above.

Benzino Claims To Be “The Eminem Slayer” After Their Recent Beef

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While much of the world was focusing on Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion’s beef. Eminem and Benzino were also going back and forth. The beef began when Eminem took shots an Benzino on the song “Doomsday” from the new Lyrical Lemonade album All Is Yellow. He used the song as an opportunity to take shots at Zino’s appearance, his career path, and his allegedly dwindling financials. The song was short but absolutely packed full of disses one after another.

Though Benzino didn’t respond immediately, once he did he didn’t hold anything back. He released a pair of diss tracks called “Vulturius” and “Rap Elvis.” Combined they made for a pretty robust portrait of Em as a kind of culture vulture and even had some fans claiming the Zino may have come out on top. But many others in the rap world slammed Zino for even entering the beef with one of the most notoriously lethal MCs in all of rap in the first place. And in the weeks since then more and more things have happened that seem to imply he lost the beef. Despite that he’s still claiming a major victory in his most recent statement.

Benzino’s New “Eminem Slayer” Comments

Recently Benzino sat down for an interview with The Art Of Dialogue where he discussed the beef even more. “I already killed him with ‘Rap Elvis.’ Where’s he at? Where’s the response? I want to battle him face-to-face. I think he’s overrated. I think he sucks as a rapper,” he says in the interview.

Later on in the interview he predicted that he would go down as the winner of the beef. But he didn’t just claim victory in their own personal beef, but claims to have dethroned Eminem personally. ““I’m going to go down in history as the Eminem slayer,” he said during his own examination of how the beef went. What do you think of Benzino’s newest comments about being “the Eminem Slayer?” Do you believe that he’s come out on top of the beef so far? Let us know in the comment section below.

Bow Wow Recalls Creating “Unleashed” With T.I.

February 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Bow Wow has taken quite a few pointers from Jermaine Dupri throughout his career, but according to the Ohio-born performer, he’s not the only one who helped him along the way. During a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Bow Wow opened up about his relationship with T.I., revealing that the Atlanta icon also played a major role in his career.

During the interview, he explained that Dupri wasn’t involved in his third album, 2003’s Unleashed, at all. In fact, it was the first project he put out without Dupri’s help, instead taking the advice of his A&R person Kawan “KP” Prather and tapping T.I. “This is before the King album, this is before A.T.L., this is young Tip… Me and Tip wrote that third album together with my man R.O.C.,” he recalled.

Bow Wow On His Relationship With T.I.

From there, he shared that he, T.I., and R.O.C. took turns writing verses for the project’s lead single, “Let’s Get Down.” T.I. had far more to contribute, however, providing Bow Wow with invaluable lessons in writing rhymes. “Me and Tip really kicked it,” he said. “We had moments, especially in the studio: him giving me that freedom, him teaching me how to write — cadence, bars, song structure, just everything.” Bow Wow claims that T.I. was able to provide him with the guidance he had been looking to Dupri for, which ultimately created an unbreakable bond.

“He was giving me the answers that I wanted Jermaine to give me,” Bow Wow says. “He was definitely a hundred in the studio. Tip was, that’s my dog. Even to this day, that’s my big bro right there.” What do you think of Bow Wow revealing that T.I. played a major role in the creation of his album, Unleashed? Are you surprised?

Bow Wow’s Lean Addiction Led To Issues In Career & Personal Life: “DRUG-FREE IS THE WAY TO BE”

February 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bow Wow has been in the spotlight since childhood, and like many of his contemporaries, the recording artist faced serious turmoil in early adulthood, perhaps as a result of all the pressure he was under from a young age. In a new sitdown with The Art of Dialogue, Shad Moss speaks candidly about how sipping lean led to extra drama in his personal life, not to mention the L’s he took in his career as a result. “I was sipping so much syrup, I said this after Mac Miller died. I spoke on this s**t, I was drinking that s**t [all the time],” he recalled.

“If you go back and watch The Road to Platinum series on BET, you’ll see so many white Styrofoam cups. I was losing my f**king mind. That lean s**t had me f**ked up. I was just always irritated,” Bow Wow vented to the outlet. Things became so bad, as HipHopDX reports, that Lil Wayne once gave the Like Mike star a “baby bottle” full of lean to soothe him. As he was heading out on tour with Chris Brown in 2007, things for the 36-year-old became particularly dangerous, leading to a much-needed wake-up call.

Bow Wow Recalls Dropping Out of Chris Brown Tour in 2007

“The opening night was in Cincinnati and when I got off stage, I collapsed. I went straight to Cincinnati University Hospital. My stomach was so f**ked up I ended up going back home to Atlanta after the first show,” Bow Wow looked back on the scary moment. “I’m sitting in the hospital not knowing what the f**k going on, and I get back home and the s**t gets worse. I’m throwing up, I’m shivering in the bed, I’m sweating, I’m going through it. I didn’t know I was having withdrawals. That’s how much lean I was consuming.” Moss made sure to thank his former publicist, Pattie Webster, for protecting his image by telling the world that her client dropped out of the joint tour with Breezy to recover from dehydration.

“That’s just good PR. We didn’t want the world to know that 18, 19-year-old Bow was heavy on the drank,” he said before urging anyone watching to consider giving up their drug habits. The impact that lean and other substances have far beyond the music industry is disappointing to see, but as people continue to share their negative experiences with using, it becomes easier for others to resist walking the same path. Just a few months ago, Lucki and Lil Yachty discussed their expensive lean addictions on the latter’s podcast, even claiming that Young Thug once had to pay $5K in “tax” from dealers to get his supply. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Dee-1 Doesn’t Consider N.W.A. “Legends,” Cites “Glorification Of Violence,” “Disrespect Of Women”

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dee-1 says that N.W.A. and any other artists who have “glorified trap music” should not be considered legends. The Christian rapper explained his reasoning during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. He had been discussing Special Ed’s previous comments on Drink Champs, in which the rapper accused N.W.A of ushering in the “age of destruction.”

“What do we do with that?” he asked. “Once we acknowledge what you have contributed to the genre, your whole career, and if we acknowledge that you’ve contributed a bunch of negativity, a bunch of violence, a bunch of disrespect of women, what do we do? Do we call you a legend or is it like, ‘Wait, we don’t need to call you no legend.’ I think that calling people legends in Hip-Hop is also a force of what helps to perpetuate negativity and that’s a trick of the enemy. That’s the devil’s work at his finest.”

Dee-1 Performs At The Essence Festival Of Culture

He continued: “We’re going to make it to where y’all start to call people legends and immortalize people inside of Hip-Hop, and the main thing they’ve contributed is the glorification of violence, the disrespect of women, the glorification of drug dealing and drug use. Like that’s crazy. We need to take the legend status off of a lot of the people who we call legends in Hip-Hop and that’s going to hurt their ego, but that’s going to help our community.” From there, Dee went on to suggest that “any rapper who has glorified drug dealing and drug use” can’t be considered a legend.

Dee-1 Discusses N.W.A.’s Legacy

He concluded: “So all of the rappers who have glorified trap music should not be considered legends. I’m going to say it again. All the rappers who have glorified trap music should not be considered legends. That’s just a fact.” Controversial opinions like this have caused Joe Budden and others to label Dee a “clout chaser.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Dee-1 on HotNewHipHop.

Young Guru Hits Back At Dame Dash Theft Claims About JAY-Z

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Guru has spoken out in defense of JAY-Z after Hov was accused of stealing from other artists by Dame Dash. “CAP on this narrative that jay STEALS songs 1. Jay got “I just want to love you” directly from Pharrell and made the song from scratch. Sparks says a Rick James hook. 2. “Can I get” was Irv’s idea, literally said “Jay get on this record but please keep JA” I love you OG but nah,” Guru wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

It came after Dame claimed that JAY-Z had built his fame on stealing from other artists. “Jay had a pattern of jacking n-ggas records. Jay has a [track] record of getting on a record after it gets hot and now he can perform that record and now it sounds like he made that record — that was his model … That’s f-cked up to the person that [made the song],” Dame claimed. His comments were made in defense of Cam’ron deleting a Hov verse from “Oh Boy”.

Meanwhile, JAY-Z was spotted out and about with his wife last weekend. Beyonce looked stunning in a sheer top-hot pant combination in beige as she stepped out with husband JAY-Z for dinner. Furthermore, Beyonce was all legs beyond the silver shorts and completed the outfit with a matching beige fur coat. Furthermore, she and Hov appeared to have a great time, with JAY-Z posing with a pair of empty wine bottles. Rather raunchily, one image that Beyonce included was a close-up of the back of her shorts. While it was likely meant to show the label, it was a rather booty-filled shot.

But of course, accusations of theft is not the only thing that JAY-Z has been hit with this year. Quality Control founder Coach K claimed that Jeezy was bigger Hov. “We put that mixtape out in July. And by February, we did $6 million on the road. All cash. We hadn’t even put an album out yet. And then we did Trap or Die mixtape, I knew it was a wrap. “JAY was much bigger, but I’m saying relevant. It’s moments where some of these smaller artists is more relevant than the bigger artists,” K claimed on the Business Untitled podcast.
