Charlamagne And DJ Envy React To Tory Lanez Sentencing

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The trial that everyone in the rap world has been talking about for years finally came to a close yesterday. Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot all the way back in 2020. Fans online had generated substantial support for Tory despite evidence pointing towards his guilt. In December of last year, he was officially found guilty and given a date for his sentencing hearing. That sentencing unfolded on Tuesday of this week and reactions are still flowing in.

On a new Breakfast Club released this morning Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy gave their immediate reactions to the verdict. “For everybody who keeps saying they don’t believe Tory did this, he said in court yesterday. He apologized for his actions and took full responsibility for the shooting,” Charlamagne begins. He continued to lambast fans who were susceptible to misinformation online. “If you get your information from the internet, from the narrative created online, you’re gonna be misinformed all the time.” DJ Envy agrees. “Most people don’t read. They gonna go through the headlines and see what the headlines are.”

More Reactions To The Tory Lanez Verdict

Charlamagne continued. “I just will never understand why Tory was doing what he was doing on social media. Like I will never understand why he tried to try this case in the court of public opinion,” he explained. Both hosts seem to come to the same confused conclusion. They agree that Tory didn’t do himself any favors by attacking Megan online. At the conclusion of the segment they make suggestions that those who get to express opinions on something like this case should have to be informed in order to do it.

While many reacted to the supposed severity of the sentence, Boosie Badazz had a different take. He claimed that Tory actually got off easier because he was in California and if he had been elsewhere he could have done closer to 40 years. What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy’s reaction to the Tory Lanez verdict? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ice Cube Says The Illuminati “Probably” Exists

July 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Cube says that the Illuminati “probably” exists. He discussed the infamous secret society during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Tuesday. Despite the claim, he admits he hasn’t met anyone from the Illuminati and would be surprised if he did. He also says he doesn’t actually know anything about the group as he’s not a part of it.

“I don’t know one, none of them, none of them tell me ‘Hey, I’m Illuminati,” Ice Cube said. “I don’t participate in none of that, so, I don’t know about it. Seem like its there, but who knows?”

Fans were excited to hear Cube speak candidly on the topic on social media. In the comments section of the interview on YouTube, one wrote: “I love that Ice Cube is telling the truth about the industry. I see more and more artist and actors doing this!” Another commented: “He’s never given himself to any secret society for money. He’s been true to himself and I can get down with that. I’ve been a fan since ‘88.”

While it wasn’t aimed specifically at the Illuminati, Cube did call out “gatekeepers” for blocking the growth of his BIG3 basketball league on Twitter, last month. In the rant, he threatened to expose those working against him. Cube also discussed the state of the BIG3 during his Breakfast Club appearance. Check out the interview in full below.

Ice Cube Speaks With “The Breakfast Club”

Cube is far from the first rapper to speak about the Illuminati. In March, Jay Electronica mentioned having met members of the Illuminati on Twitter. “Ps, The Illuminati? I met em,” he wrote during a rant on the site. “They ain’t all that. Ask em about me.”

Diddy’s Diageo Lawsuit Called Into Question by Charlamagne Tha God

June 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, massive spirits company Diageo publicly ended its affiliation with rapper and mogul Diddy. That came after Diddy filed a lawsuit against the company alleging the company of racist dealings with its various partners. It claims that the company poured all its resources into Clooney’s Casamigos brand after acquiring it in 2017. It also claims that the company marketed Diddy’s own DeLeon tequila as “urban” and “black.” Diageo responded by calling the lawsuit a “sham” and dropping Diddy from their brand.

Now many are reacting to the legal proceedings, including Charlamagne Tha God. According to HipHopDx, During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, he asked for some clarification on the lawsuit. “Diddy worked for this company for 15 years, right? Made a billion dollars, literally, but then turns around and sues the company for racism. There had to be a better basis to the lawsuit than just racism right?” the host said. He continued with even stronger objections. “I just wonder, ’cause you have so much success with that company with Ciroc for 15 years and it doesn’t seem like you’ve been able to duplicate that success with DeLeón thus far, but is that a reason to burn a bridge with a company that has helped you make a billion dollars?” While he insists that he’s only asking questions his skepticism is clear.

Charlamagne Tha God Isn’t Sure About Diddy’s Suit

The news surrounding Diddy hasn’t been all bad recently. Earlier this month Diddy received an Icon Award from the Apollo Theater. He also posted an emotional and touching Father’s Day message for his late father.

Earlier this year, Diddy teamed up with Fabolous and City Girls on a new single called “Act Bad.” The song imagines itself as not just a track but an anthem similar to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer.” In the wake of the song many fans on Twitter posted ways that Diddy had “acted bad” in the past which caused him to trend for all the wrong reasons. What do you think of Charlamagne’s comments about Diddy’s lawsuit? Let us know in the comment section below.

Charlamagne Tha God Says He’s Not Sure Jim Jones’ Response To Pusha T Was Enough

June 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne says that he’s not confident Jim Jones’ recent response to Pusha T will be enough. The Dipset rapper released a track dissing Pusha on Saturday night. In the lyrics, he targets Pusha’s fashion sense, his relevancy in hip-hop, and his Clipse partner, No Malice. Charlamagne spoke about the effort on The Breakfast Club, Monday morning.

“I don’t think that’s enough,” he said. “I think if you shoot at Pusha, you just gotta go ahead and drop the nuke. You can’t just shoot. You just gotta go ahead and drop the nuke now. That’s what Pusha’s gonna do, if Pusha replies. If we’re looking at the way Pusha has replied before, Pusha gonna drop a nuke off top.”

Charlamagne continued: “So, I like what Jim did. I just don’t know if that’s enough. If you’re gonna engage, you gotta go-go. You can’t fire any warning shots. And I like what Jim did, but you gotta go for the head. I don’t know if he went for the head.”

When Envy began to suggest that Jones could have more in the tank, Charlamagne interject: “When you say ‘not yet’ with Pusha– you can’t say ‘not yet’ with Pusha. You either aim for the head or you do nothing.”

The feud between Jim Jones and Pusha T began back in April when Jones remarked that Pusha isn’t one of the 50 best rappers in hip-hop. The comment clearly stuck with Pusha, who responded by dissing Jones in a new Clipse track debuted at Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton show, last week. Be on the lookout for a further response from Pusha in the coming days.

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface’s mom just found herself in the middle (or rather, both giving and receiving end) of an unexpected online beef. Moreover, it all stems from comments she recently made about celebrities she turned down. “Whew, y’all already know I wasn’t nothing to deal with 20 years ago,” Karlissa Saffold said in the clip. “S**t 25, put a week on it. Wasn’t nothing to play with, okay? Ask somebody. Who I turned down? 50, Shaq, Cube… Who else? Usher… It was a no! So momma didn’t play. Better ask somebody, I wasn’t nothing to deal with. It was a no.”

Furthermore, Jess Hilarious spoke on this on The Breakfast Club, and had some choice words. “Blueface’s mom shares the roster of celebs she turned down. She was feeling herself, and this is what she was saying [plays clip]. You turned all of them down and ended up with Blueface’s dad [laughs]. And made him. It look like you shouldn’t have been turning them down, baby.” Of course, the remarks made DJ Envy laugh at “Jess With The Mess” for her fired shots.

Killer Mike recently reflected on his experience with JAY-Z during an appearance on The Breakfast Club. In doing so, he weighed in on the hypothetical question as to whether he’d take $500,000 or a dinner with the legendary rapper.

“Jay has quietly been a friend and associate to me for a couple years now,” Mike said on the show. “And that relationship– when people say, ‘Would you take 500 grand or the dinner?’ Man that’s a hard question because I got a $500,000 advance I’d like but I have learned so much from short conversations with him.”

From there, Mike explained that he sent a rough draft of his new album to Jay, who sent him back praise in response. “I appreciate the encouragement. He gave me some critiques.

Fans were stoked to see Mike make an appearance on The Breakfast Club on social media. One commented: “There’s an honesty and freshness to this interview that I appreciate. He’s so happy talking about the album and he should be. This album is formidable.” “Album worth every penny!!” another wrote with fire emojis. “We needed this one!!” Check out Mike’s Breakfast Club interview below.

“Killer Mike played me a record one time with him and André, I’m not even joking this is one of the greatest Hip Hop records, just musical records I’ve ever heard in my life,” Charlamagne Tha God explained. He added, “It’s phenomenal. I can’t even describe what y’all doing on this record.”

He said, “There is another Killer Mike and Dre feature and all we gotta do is make this album go No. 1 and make the guys from the label really, really happy and I’ll be back next year… It’s about 12 minutes — seven and five. Stacks rap longer.” He explains, “When you handsome all the girls like you you get to rap longer.”

The artist recently told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that chose being a rapper over being a pilot, revealing that he was previously enrolled in flight school. He ultimately decided to seriously pursue rap instead. He also told Lowe that Michael “is [his] come-home moment musically,” going on to call the album his “submission to God.” “It is gospel, it is soul, it is funk, it is Hip Hop,” he explained. Killer Mike elaborated, saying, “I was taught morality through the Black Southern Christian Church, which gave us the civil rights movement, the abolitionist movement, which gave us some of the most beautiful music ever. And I feel like I’m honoring that and I finally figured out my place.”

Method Man Explains If Wu-Tang Show Is Accurate

June 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A few weeks ago while on Kevin Hart’s podcast Gold Minds, Method Man made some attention-grabbing comments. In the episode, he said that he had never watched a single episode of Wu-Tang: An American Saga despite being an executive producer. He told Hart that he got the script ahead of time but never actually watched the show. Despite that, he made sure to give the show its flowers and merely stated that his version of events was different than what was portrayed.

Now, he’s revisiting the issue. In an appearance on The Breakfast Club Charlamagne The God asked Method Man if he still hadn’t seen an episode. While he once again made sure to give the show credit and avoid starting drama he also had a new explanation for not watching it. “I lived that already” Method Man said. He seemingly had little interest in watching the show recapping events he was there for. When asked once again if the show is accurate he said “No, none of them are.”

Method Man’s Thoughts On The Show

A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)

In the same episode, Method Man also touched on what he sees as the difference between rap now and in the 90s. “When you heard records from the West Coast, you know it was from the West Coast. When you heard UGK, we know that was down south,” he explained. He thinks that rap has lost its regional identities in pursuit of something more homogenous. “We had identities. And everybody was fightin’ for their own identity. Whereas now, it seems like everyone’s fighting for the same identity,” he concluded.

Despite some criticisms the Wu-Tang legend has for modern rap music, he also has some favorites. In a different interview this year he said that the rapper played most often in his house is GloRilla. She seemed to appreciate the love. In an Instagram story response, she showed love for Method Man’s music and appreciation for his cosign. What do you think about Method Man’s comments regarding the Wu-Tang Clan TV show? Let us know in the comments below.

Method Man Explains The Difference Between Rap Eras

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Method Man identified one major difference between rap today and rap during Wu-Tang Clan’s heyday. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, the rap legend spoke on how regional identities have been lost in the decades since he first started. “When you heard records from the West Coast, you know it was from the West Coast. When you heard UGK, we know that was down south,” Method Man explained. While many rappers still flex their hometowns, he sees it as less distinct than previous eras of hip-hop.

Method Man was also quick to clarify that he isn’t criticizing all of modern rap. “I’m not taking anything away from the music nowadays, you know? Because whatever works, works. And I like some of the sh*t they be doin’ today,” he said. “But back then, we had identities. And everybody was fightin’ for their own identity. Whereas now, it seems like everyone’s fighting for the same identity.” Despite that, he still sees the future of rap looking bright. “that’s going to spark the mind that changes everything, you know?”

Method Man Gets Real On The Breakfast Club

Last month on Kevin Hart’s podcast Gold Minds podcast, Method Man mentioned that he hadn’t watched a single episode of the Wu-Tang Clan TV show. Wu-Tang: An American Saga seeks to tell the story of the influential rap group’s come-up. While he did give the show its flowers he also noted that there are some flaws in the way its stories are told.

Further evidence of Method Man’s thoughts on modern hip-hop came earlier this year when he shouted out GloRilla. He claims that the rapper’s music is being played often in his house. Even though he doesn’t love much modern music he was sure to shout out someone he does like. GloRilla seemed to appreciate the shoutout and responded with an Instagram story expressing similar feelings back to the Wu-Tang legend. What do you think of Method Man’s take on modern hip-hop and its identity crisis? Let us know in the comment section below.
