by

Lil Wayne and Skip Bayless have been friends for many years at this point. Overall, it is a friendship that began while Bayless was working at ESPN. Since that time, the two have continued to visit one another and they have even debated sports on the air. Moving forward, Bayless and Wayne will be sitting next to each other on the new version of Undisputed. Wayne is expected to appear on Friday episodes, although he did find himself in the studio on Monday. Of course, this is because the new format premiered on Monday.

During the episode, we got to see the brand-new theme song for the show, simply titled “Good Morning.” Overall, it is a pretty cool song that fans are already giving good reviews to. As for Skip Bayless, he seems to love the new track as well. He told Wayne this directly, all while revealing his love for the lyrics. Subsequently, Wayne noted that his intention behind the song was to impress Skip. Moreover, he feels like the lyrics are a good representation of their friendship and love of sports.

Lil Wayne Speaks

“I would hope so, I try to make everything I do better than the last thing I did,” Lil Wayne said. “Just to impress you just because I know how much you love ‘No Mercy.’ Just to capitalize on what you done. It’s not complicated. It’s not hard. I love the challenge of it anyway. I attacked it like an SAT exam, like if I don’t pass this, I can’t get in.” 

The New Theme

For now, the new format of Undisputed is getting mixed reviews. Skip had a hard time getting in any sort of commentary as Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson, and Michael Irvin dominated the conversation. However, there does seem to be some potential for greatness here. Let us know what you think of the new version of the show, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Lil Wayne Debuts New “Undisputed” Theme Song, “Good Morning”

by

Skip Bayless and Lil Wayne have had an interesting friendship over the years. The two have remained close and are frequent guests at each other’s homes. Moreover, Wayne was the man behind the theme song for Undisputed. Of course, this is an iconic part of the show’s intro, and Skip has always loved it since the beginning. However, with the show changing gears following the departure of Shannon Sharpe, it was only a matter of time before things changed. As Skip revealed weeks ago, a new theme song would be recorded.

Luckily, the theme song would be done by Wayne again. His voice is synonymous with the show at this point, so it was only right to have him do it. The new theme song is simply called “Good Morning,” and it is a new take on the show’s introduction. Overall, fans may actually prefer this new one. It has an extended verse to it, and Wayne seems more energetic over it. Perhaps this is an indication of what is to come for the show. After all, names like Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson, and Michael Irvin are all lending themselves to this new endeavor.

Fans are already enjoying it, which is good to see. As for the show itself, well, it is off to a very interesting start. We already reported that it was difficult for Bayless to actually get any words in. Moreover, Michael Irvin went on an epic rant that impressed the viewers at home. Needless to say, the new version of the show will go through some growing pains.

Pusha T Still Cashes In Royalties For The Arby’s Commercial Theme Song

by

Pusha T’s skills as a rapper are well-documented over a 20-year career. You could talk about his solo albums, the Clipse discography with his brother Malice (now known as No Malice), his diss tracks, his features- but don’t forget his fast food contributions. Moreover, former G.O.O.D. Music executive Steven Victor explained during a recent interview how King Push still gets royalties for the song that sandwich chain Arby’s uses in all its commercials- a track with him and Yogi. Furthermore, as someone who’s worked a lot with the Virginia native, Victor labeled it as one of his best business moves.

“I think convincing Pusha to rap on Yogi’s beat, and it ended up being the theme song for Arby’s,” he stated with a smile when asked about what creative decisions he’s proudest of. “If you watch an Arby’s commercial, at the end of it, it goes, ‘Arby’s- we have the meats!’ That’s the song! They don’t even use Pusha’s part. But they have to pay him, because he owns 50 percent of the song. So, every time they want to sync the song, they have to come to us for approval.”

Steven Victor Explains Pusha T’s Arby’s Royalties

At the time of writing this article, the track “Burial” by Yogi and Pusha T soundtracks Arby’s commercials- and has done so for seven years. While it’s unclear exactly how much the 46-year-old has made as a result, we can imagine it’s quite a lot. What’s more is that he also worked with Arby’s to write and record a diss track against McDonald’s’ Filet-O-Fish. The “Spicy Fish Diss Track” sees the MC go way harder than he ever needed to for it to be good.

In fact, for those unaware, the “Diet Coke” artist has quite the history with McDonald’s, involving yet another jingle. He and his brother wrote the iconic “I’m Lovin’ It” tag in 2003 and got paid a one-time fee with no royalties. Considering that Justin Timberlake received $6 million to record it, they felt cheated out, and thus, Push waged war in the fast-food realm. Talk about a hunger for revenge. For more news and the latest updates on Pusha T, log back into HNHH.

Drake Sings Argentina’s World Cup Song At Lollapalooza

by

Drake went viral recently for signing Argentina’s unofficial World Cup song during his Lollapalooza Argentina performance. Moreover, it’s not surprising to see the 6 God show some love to last year’s victors. After all, he bet on the team’s victory, although he lost because they didn’t win within 90 minutes as he anticipated. Still, he riled up the jubilant crowd and only had to sing the first word of the track “Muchachos” for them to follow along. For those curious, the track is fully titled “Muchachos, ahora nos volvimos a ilusionar” and is by La Mosca Tse-Tse.

In the social media clip, the Canadian superstar is wrapping up one of his songs, addressing the crowd. “By the way, that was probably like one of the best moments of my career,” he remarked. “Thank you. I feel like I really made it.” Then, they begin screams of “Argentina!” that quickly ramp up. At that moment, Drizzy leads the crowd into the song that carried them through the legendary soccer- sorry, fútbol tournament to victory. Furthermore, the song is specifically dedicated to some of the nation’s greatest players, like Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, and Gabriel Batistuta.

Drake Sings Argentina’s Unofficial World Cup Song

Unfortunately, the “Nice For What” rapper faced some stronger controversy and criticism for his performance. According to both Latin American news sources and festival-goer testimonies, Drake came out 15 minutes late for his set. Not only that, but he reportedly blocked the performance’s livestream (which was allegedly agreed on) just minutes before taking the stage. Such a decision goes against the standard of live-streaming Lollapalooza performances. Also, he reportedly only played for 40 minutes, well below the standard headliner slot of about an hour and a half.

In fact, the 36-year-old dealt with a lot of pushback for his live appearances recently. The most salient example of that has more to do with logistics, as people are outraged at the insane ticket prices for his tour with 21 Savage. Despite all that, it’s Drake we’re talking about, and it’s probably beyond his control. With that in mind, maybe his appreciation of Argentina’s people, greatness, and culture goes beyond festival mishaps. But that’s not for us to decide. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.
