Drake & Kendrick Lamar Shouldn’t Be In Top 10 Rappers List, Says Charlamagne Tha God

by

Billboard and VIBE recently came out with their top 50 rappers of all time list, for which the top 10 ranking released this week. However, many people expressed issues with the placements, as expected with any subjective list. One detractor is Charlamagne Tha God, who said Kendrick Lamar and Drake don’t belong at No. 2 and 8, respectively. Moreover, the Breakfast Club co-host discussed the list with his fellow on-air colleagues, and he said it’s “too early” in their careers to tell. Of course, both rappers continue to dominate and forge their paths, but maybe their accomplishments are already enough to rival the game’s best.

“I feel like it’s too early for Drake and Kendrick to be saying stuff like that,” he remarked as DJ Envy went through the list. “Of all time? God damn! Penis is a form of transportation for y’all.” Still, both MCs clearly made some of the largest waves in hip-hop history. The 6 God, for example, recently became the first artist to amass over 75 billion streams on Spotify. Whereas the “God’s Plan” star leads the charts, K. Dot leads the culture. Following three Grammy wins last weekend, he’s now the third most decorated rapper in Grammy history. Moreover, Jay-Z and Kanye West currently share that honor at 24 phonograms each. For what it’s worth, Ye landed at No. 11 on Billboard‘s list, and Hov is Billboard‘s greatest rapper of all time.

In addition, the top ten also included Biggie, Nas, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Tupac and Lil Wayne. Other names near the top are André 3000, Rakim, LL Cool J, J. Cole, Scarface, 50 Cent, and Ice Cube. In fact, Cube was another member of hip-hop culture that criticized the rankings. “I don’t f**k with Billboard or their editor,” he told TMZ with a smile. “Billboard ain’t hip-hop so their opinion don’t matter. Yeah, it is,” he acknowledged on the travesty of Too $hort’s snub.

“It’s an irrelevant list, you know what I mean? It’s like assholes; everybody got one and they all stink. There it is.” Who else should’ve made (or been omitted from) Billboard and VIBE‘s top 10 rappers list? However you may feel, let us know how you’d make the tough call in the comments below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest on hip-hop debates and the genre’s greatest.

Ray J Says 50 Cent “Took A Dump” In The Middle Of Pitch Meeting

by

A pitch meeting went south, says Ray J, after 50 Cent decided to use the restroom. The Breakfast Club continues to filter through its guest co-hosts, and recently, Ray J joined the famed radio show. Angela Yee’s departure has offered an empty slot, and during the singer’s appearance, he shared a tale about a FaceTime meeting with Jackie Long and 50 Cent.

“One conversation that me and Jackie had with 50, 50 was moving around. I don’t know if he didn’t like our idea or he liked it and he was just like, ‘I gotta in before I get on the plane.’ But Fif, Fif just took a sh*t in our meeting.” DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God needed clarification and asked Ray to explain.

The Love & Hip Hop star said it was a FaceTime meeting set up by Jackie Long, and “50 took a dump.” Ray questioned if Fif going to the bathroom in the middle of a meeting was his way of quietly saying he wasn’t impressed with the pitch. Charlamagne Tha God added 50 Cent wasn’t going to like Ray sharing this private information.

“To me, I felt it was gangster,” said Ray J. “It was like, you a little homie. I feel like we got little homied in the meeting because maybe the idea wasn’t good.” Charlamagne didn’t think it was that deep and simply stated that Fif just needed to go. The three men laughed at the scenario, but Charlamagne wasn’t convinced that this was a true story.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent hasn’t responded to the strange account. However, he’s known for taking aim at people, regardless of their industry status. His reputation as a troll has also served him well, and his fans are waiting to see if he goes after Ray J for this one. Check out the story above.

Tory Lanez On August Alsina Altercation: “I Don’t Have A Problem With Anybody”

The Breakfast Club tried to get to the bottom of Tory Lanez-August Alsina altercation that spread across the Internet earlier this month.

The Canadian rapper appeared on the radio show where DJ Envy and Angela Yee grilled him on the alleged assault against August Alsina.

“Now, recently, you got into an alleged altercation with an R&B singer, August Alsina,” Envy said, seemingly making Lanez uncomfortable.

“Look, man, like I said, I’m just here to answer about the album,” he said with an awkward chuckle. Envy pried even further by mentioning the video of Alsina completely ignoring Lanez’s attempt to shake hands.

Yee brought up the possible police investigation into the case, though Tory said he “couldn’t tell you.” “Don’t know what you know” he added.

“I’m just here for the album and positivity,” he continued. “I’m always here to answer all the questions and stuff,” he said, adding that he’s focused on preaching positivity. “Everything that’s been going on in my life and the things going on around me, I just try to keep positive. No disrespect, I’m just not here to talk about it.”

Still, Envy managed to squeeze in one final question about the video of Alsina dismissing Lanez’s handshake. Envy asked if Tory was aware if there was any friction between them prior to the incident. Interestingly enough, Tory revealed that he previously did songwriting for August Alsina in his collaboration with Meek Mill.

“Just generally speaking, regardless, I don’t have a problem with anybody. I wrote for him before this,” he said. “It’s not one of those.”

Charlamagne Tha God Admits To Threatening To Embarrass His Daughter By Performing ‘Knuck If You Buck’ At Her School

Charlamagne tha God

Crime Mob’s 2004 hit, “Knuck If You Buck” has made its way back into mainstream popularity after a scene in the movie Honk For Jesus, which featured Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall rapping the song word from word. In a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God admitted that he and his wife threaten to embarrass their daughter by performing the song at her school.

Charlamagne told listeners about his and his wife’s plan while the song played in the background. He also said that the song is one of the greatest records of all time, and called it a “negro spiritual.”

“Let me tell you something, man,” Charlamagne said. “One of the greatest records of all time, ok? And the song my wife and I threaten our daughter with. I always tell her I’m gonna come to your school with a Beats Pill and lose it to ‘Knuck If You Buck’ in the classroom one day, just because.”

“That would scare me too,” DJ Envy said in response.

“It’s one of the greatest records of all time, you hear me? This is a Negro spiritual.”

Regina Hall recently stopped by The Breakfast Club where she revealed that neither her nor her co-star Sterling K. Brown had even heard the song prior to filming the movie. Hall said that she was in LA at the time the song came out and, despite it being a song played heavily in clubs around the country, was not in the club scene by the time the song came out.

Regina Hall Explains Why She Didn’t Know Crime Mob’s Biggest Hit Until She Had To Learn It For A Role

by

In some circles, Atlanta rap group Crime Mob‘s 2004 hit “Knuck If You Buck” goes beyond just being a cultural touchstone. As Charlamagne Tha God recently put it during an interview with Regina Hall about her new movie Honk For Jesus, it’s damn near a “Negro spiritual.” The song came up in the course of the conversation because Hall’s character quotes it in the movie, leading to Hall admitting that she hadn’t heard it before she had to learn the lyrics for one of the film’s awkward-funny gags. This naturally led to some consternation among the Breakfast Club crew, prompting Hall to defend herself.

“I’m highly disappointed that you and Sterling K. Brown had to learn the words to the Negro spiritual, ‘Knuck If You Buck,’” Charlamagne joked. “You’re Black, Regina Hall!” Hall chuckled as she agreed, “It’s embarrassing! That’s what I found out!” She goes on to explain that she was in LA, not her hometown, DC, when the song came out (“It was in LA too!” CTG protests), and that it was a club hit, which is why she didn’t hear it. As she self-deprecatingly jests, “The club days ended so early for me.” When Charlamagne notes that the song is “18 years old,” Hall replies, “It was over by then!” She also explains how it took her a few days to learn Princess’ rhymes (the best part, as acknowledged by the interview crew), and laughed that Issa Rae would be disappointed in her, too.

At least, for Regina’s sake, she proved she remembers the lyrics to Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up” and Lil Jon’s “Get Low,” or she would have been in danger of getting her Black Card revoked. You can check out the full interview up top.
