Eminem “Fortnite” Skin Used To Recreate Iconic Rap Battle From “8 Mile”: Watch

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

An enterprising Fortnite player has utilized several in-game assets, including the recently released Eminem skin, to recreate the final rap battle from 8 Mile. In a video posted to social media, the player incorporates audio from the film over in-game footage of Eminem’s skin squaring off with Falcon from the MCU. Falcon is portrayed by Anthony Mackie, who also played Slim Shady’s opponent at the end of 8 Mile. The clip utilizes various emotes to add to the experience, and ends with Eminem killing Falcon with a shotgun.

The original TikTok has over 1.4 million views. Furthermore, the video on X, reuploaded by an Eminem fan account, has an additional 2.1 million views. While the video has been very well-received, it also garnered praise from a very high place. “I mean… wow!” wrote Paul Rosenburg in a quote tweet. Rosenburg is Eminem’s long-time real-life manager. The Slim Shady skin was released earlier this week and marks one of the final releases before the game transitions to its next update, “Chapter Five”. As part of the pre-transition “Big Bang” event, Eminem will be performing a virtual concert inside the game.

However, Fortnite is not the first video game that Eminem has been involved with this year. Back in October, Slim Shady’s iconic vocals could be heard in a trailer for the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The Detroit rapper’s 2002 hit “Till I Collapse” scored a cinematic trailer showcasing the ultra-cinematic violence of the game’s multiplayer mode. Furthermore, the trailer also confirmed the news that a host of iconic maps from the original Modern Warfare trilogy will be returning for this new Modern Warfare 3. However, it’s not the rapper’s first Call Of Duty collab. Back in 2013, he released the track “Survival” for Call Of Duty: Ghosts.

While old maps and fan-favorite modes are returning, Activision is trying a few new things with Modern Warfare III. One of the biggest additions will be Cutthroat, a 3v3v3 mode that is briefly featured and highlighted in the trailer. The new features will likely be highlighted in more detail at the October 5 multiplayer preview event. Meanwhile, the game will be released on November 10. Activision has previously confirmed that cosmetics and other purchases from Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 will carry over to the new game. The game released to mediocre reviews on November 10.

Metro Boomin Explains Why He Is Resonating With Fans, Bashes Cash Grabbing Artists

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Metro Boomin has been racking up tons of awards over the past year. Both of his recent albums are still doing crazy streaming numbers. While he does have a lot of big songs, with some getting radio play, they do not have your typical “bubblegum” feel to them. When you break down his productions detail by detail, there is certainly a lot of intricacies that you will catch.

You can have superstar artists on your beats, but that alone is not enough. It is a big reason why more underground names have been dominating 2023. They do not necessarily need big names attached to their works. Artists like Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, Black Thought, and more put a lot of effort into what they do. Metro has certainly done that now with HEROES & VILLAINS, for example. But, he really has done it throughout the entirety of his career. That was a topic covered in his recent interview with Variety.

Metro Boomin Takes Aim At The Cash Grabbers

The publication recognized him as their producer of the year. AllHipHop grabbed some quotable excerpts from the talk and one of them takes a shot a cash-grabbing artists. The St. Louis native said, “I feel like people can just tell I care. At a time when everybody has their hand out — like, ‘Let me do this for cash; let me make a dance for TikTok’ — you can hear all the details and thought behind my music.” He brings up an interesting point and a prevalent one at that. While there are definitely benefits to platforms like TikTok, a lot of listeners have their reservations about them.

What are your initial thoughts on Metro Boomin’s comments about why he feels he is at the top of the game right now? Do you agree with the fact that there are a lot of artists making low-effort songs for cash? Is Metro the best producer in the game right now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Metro Boomin as well as everything else going on around the music world.

“Bottoms Up” Thanksgiving Grace Leaves Nicki Minaj Speechless

November 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A viral video of a group of Barbz using Nicki Minaj’s verse from “Bottoms Up” as their Thanksgiving grace has made its way to Minaj herself. “I-” was all Minaj wrote in response to the video, which also features a cardboard cutout of Minaj as the guest of honor at the table. The video was originally posted to TikTok but quickly spread across the internet, eventually making it onto Minaj’s feed on X.

The hype amongst the Barbz is growing exponentially as the December 8 release date of Pink Friday 2 draws ever closer. A promotional fragrance sold out at Macy’s within 24 hours. However, Minaj was a little perplexed by this, as she had reportedly not been told that the perfume was being released this week. Additionally, Minaj had a little fun with her fans, releasing a fake tracklist full of food puns. We’re sure fans can’t wait for the likes of “NY Strip steak ft. A1” and “Like my hunnits GREENS”.

Minaj Speaks On Her Haters

However, if there’s one group that Minaj has plenty of words for, it’s her haters. As she continues to plug Pink Friday 2, she also went after the people leveling criticism at her. “Music is a very serious business for me & MANY OF US but it’s also my F*CKING ARTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!” she explained. “MY GIFT!!!!!!!! FROM GOD. Do you tell physicians how to operate on your penis holes & hair lines? Would you tell a pastor how to preach his sermon in the middle of Sunday worship? Do you tell the strippers where to position their butt holes while they on the pole tryna entertain you? Do you tell JORDAN HOW TO chew his gum & move his wrist b4 a FKING JUMP SHOT!!!??!??! Being a ppl pleaser will never make the pleaser feel pleased. So stop. Take it from me. I’ve learned the hard way for years.”

This was not Minaj’s only rant of the week. The day before Thanksgiving, Minaj went on tirade after learning that her unreleased track “Bahm Bahm” was available on streaming platforms. “Oh hello no! I want all my money back from this thievery! That would’ve been at least an extra 6 to 7 dollars & like 48 cents added to my real account b!ch,” Minaj wrote alongside a screenshots of the song climbing various streaming charts. Streaming fraud is a growing problem, and one that Spotify in particular has pledged to address.

Angel Reese Remains Away From LSU, Absent From Cayman Islands Trip

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Angel Reese will seemingly miss at least two more LSU games. Reese has not been spotted in the Cayman Islands, where the Tigers are preparing to face Niagra and Virginia in the Cayman Islands Classic. Furthermore, this marks the second road event that Reese has not been with the team. The 2023 Final Four MOP has not been seen alongside her LSU teammates since being benched against Kent State on November 14. Reese was then absent from a road game on November 17 and a home game on November 20.

However, no official reason has been given for Reese’s absence. There have been claims of both academic probation and a head coach-mandated “attitude adjustment”. But Kim Mulkey has refused to answer questions about Reese’s absence and Reese herself has only spoken out to tell people “Don’t believe everything you read“. After the event in the Cayman Islands, LSU’s next game sees the Tigers host #9 Virginia Tech on November 30.

Despite the mystery surrounding her absence, Reese has not been silent. On November 22, Reese posted a video to her TikTok account, showing her walking around her apartment in a fluffy pink bathrobe. The audio of the video is a speech by Deion Sanders talking about how little he thinks about his haters. Furthermore, Reese posted a video of the same speech to her Instagram last weekend. It appears to be a direct response to the new wave of speculation and hate that she has received since the drama began to unfurl at LSU.

As mentioned, there appears to be no timetable for Reese’s return, not that she appears to be sweating her absence too much regardless. On Thanksgiving, Reese posted a video recreating the viral “Cheese Rice and Byron” Sidetalk clip. Through four games played, Reese is still averaging a double-double with 17 points and 10.3 rebounds. That puts her second on the team in both categories. Reese’s situation is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Drake Allegedly Ghosted TikTok Star Meals By Cugine

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is someone who is very busy and always has a lot on his plate. Overall, he just got off of a very popular tour. Furthermore, he is going back out on tour next year with J. Cole. He dropped For All The Dogs last month and he was even able to come through with a project last Friday. This six-song EP is called Scary Hours 3 and contains some amazing tracks. At this stage, Drizzy is just elevating his cache, and fans are excited to see his next chapter, whenever that may be.

Of course, these are the things that make him a busy man. Unfortunately, he does not have time for everyone. Sometimes, he may even make commitments or some plans, only for them to fall through. At the end of the day, this is normal. Plans change all the time and when you are a busy person, your commitments are always going to fluctuate. Unfortunately, a TikTok star named Danny Mondello, otherwise known as Meals By Cugine, learned this the hard way.

Drake Called Out

While appearing a game show called “Rent Free,” Mondello revealed how he was talking to Drake in his Instagram DMs. Drizzy wanted to recommend a restaurant in Toronto called Sotto Sotto. The TikToker took this as a sign that Drake actually wanted to collaborate or even just have a meal together. However, the man says he was left on read in the end. Perhaps there was a breakdown in communication here. Simply, maybe Drake wanted to give a recommendation and just leave it at that.

Let us know your thoughts on this situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on your favorite artists.

Sexyy Red Responds After Facing Heat For Pushing A Ballet Teacher To Play Her Music To 5-Year-Olds

November 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red’s music is certainly not everyone’s vibe. You can appreciate the fact that she is honest about what she creates. However, on the flip side, once you become a popular figure you have to realize that your actions are under a microscope and have a ripple effect on impressionable people. That is certainly what is going on here. There is an extremely viral video going around TikTok that first hit the platform on November 20. A ballet instructor posted a nine-minute video explaining her frustrations about her kids vehemently arguing with her during their sessions.

The 22-year-old was brought to tears after all of the disrespect she has taken lately at her job. Even when she thinks that the parents will understand, they even retaliate and get defensive. The students are five years old and the teacher detailed how they asked her to play “SkeeYee” and “Pound Town” by Sexyy Red. She also highlighted that they never follow instructions, are throwing things at each other, and even twerking.

How Does This Make Sexyy Red Look?

@saaaaaaaii1

HELPPP!!!! Im calling out to all parents educators teachers MOMS DADS WHOEVER please take time to work with your children stop listening to adult music around them spend time with them we need CHANGE #fyp #fypp #eduation #parents #parenting #school #help #trending #makeachange

♬ Lofi/Fashionable/Rose Piano/10 minutes(1455693) – nightbird_bgm

Sexyy initially responded to the teacher telling her to continue to play her music and “stfu” (shut the f*** up). According to AllHipHop, fans were very thrown off by the rapper’s comments about the video. Because of all of this, Red tweeted, “Ima make some kidz bop songs for yall fr.” Even though she had a change of heart, it still could put her in a bad spot. Especially with a child on the way, it does not look too good to push her messages in her music to the younger generation.

What are your initial thoughts on this latest video of this ballet instructor ranting about her kids misbehaving and asking to listen to Sexyy Red? How does this make the rapper look? How much of it falls on her and how much of this falls on the parents? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Sexyy Red, as well as everything else going on around the music world.

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is always about his money. He’s someone who’s aware that time is money, and he’s not making any exceptions. In the ever-evolving landscape of celebrity interactions, rapper Lil Baby recently made headlines for a seemingly random encounter with a fan. The situation unfolded when a bold admirer approached the artist, inquiring about the cost of Lil Baby’s outfit. “Hey we’re here with Lil Baby, how much your fit cost?” the fan asked while recording. In what appeared to be a lighthearted response, Lil Baby stunned both the fan and onlookers by proclaiming, “Aye, you need to pay me $200 bands to talk to me,” before casually walking away. Fans reacted and some understood where Baby was coming from. “Time cost money once yalll understand that you will start to acknowledge more,” one person commented on the video posted to social media.

Lil Baby, known for his chart-topping hits and unapologetic persona, has cultivated a reputation for being candid and straightforward. However, this particular incident took many by surprise, as fans grappled with the notion of paying a hefty sum for a brief encounter and a simple question about fashion. “Baby corny for that ngl,” one person commented. “Lmaoo he sound like he just lost 200,000 at the casino that’s why he saying 200,000 for a fit check video lmao,” another person speculated.

The debate surrounding the $200,000 fit check TikTok video raises intriguing questions about the evolving dynamics between celebrities and their admirers. In an age where social media allows fans unprecedented access to their favorite stars, the blurred lines between personal space and public persona become increasingly challenging to navigate. While some fans viewed Lil Baby’s demand as a humorous and exaggerated display of his extravagant lifestyle, others criticized the rapper for what they perceived as an unnecessary and distasteful act. “Hate when celebrities act like this,” one person said. “LMFAO, 200k for a 10 second video? Bro inflating his worth,” another commented.

Whether Lil Baby’s demand was a genuine request or a tongue-in-cheek remark, one thing is certain. The incident has sparked conversations about the price of access to our favorite celebrities in an era dominated by social media and instant connectivity. What are your thoughts? Was a fit check video worth it to pay by the fan?

North West Recreates Classic Kim Kardashian Look In Adorable New TikTok

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

North West is already becoming pretty well known online for her sense of humor. She’s also a pretty big fan of playing dress-up as she showed off with her variety of Halloween costumes. She celebrated the holiday with a Clueless look alongside her mother and followed it up by joining some friends for a Cheetah Girls inspired group costume. Many of her best and funniest moments have come from the joint TikTok account she shares with Kim Kardashian, and that was the case again earlier this week.

This time, North and a friend recreated a classic pair of looks that Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton sported in the 2000’s. North transforms into her mother with a gray tracksuit and hoodie complete with some dark black sunglasses. The post has Kim’s song “Jam (Turn It Up)” attached and while comments are disabled that hasn’t stopped fans from sharing the video all across other platforms. Check out a highlight from the photoshoot below.

North West Serves Up Yet Another Viral Outfit

Even after Halloween, North was still making waves for her outfits. She shared a photoshoot dressed up as Tiana from The Princess And The Frog that had fans in absolute awe of the young social media star. But her notable fashion moments haven’t all been playing dress-up. She also has an affinity for streetwear and has been spotted stepping out in some great vintage designer fits.

On a recent episode of The Kardashians, however, fans were talking about North for entirely different reasons. In a clip from the show she’s seen taking a bit out of an onion like it’s an apple. Kim doesn’t seem to be phased by the move either, even implying North often likes to eat vegetables like fruit. What do you think of North West dressing up in one of her mother’s classic looks for a TikTok? Let us know in the comment section below.

PinkyDoll Claps Back At Critics Of Her Music

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

PinkyDoll has responded to people criticizing her foray into music. “Y’all saying I don’t got no bars. Y’all saying I can’t rap,” Pinky said before rapping along to her song “Ice Cream So Good”. The track was created earlier this year as a promotional endeavor with FashionNova. It was widely panned for being incredibly generic and also having the additional cringe factor of being a literal advertisement.

Pinky’s response came after she recently previewed her new song “Yes Popcorn”, another reference to her NPC streams. Once again, it was widely panned for its generic beat and weak hook. In the clip Pinky previewed, all can be heard is an autotuned hook that repeats “Yes Popcorn” and “Gang Gang” over and over. “As a child I thought 2023 would have flying cars, robot maids, and teleportation. Not…whatever the f-ck the sh-t is,” one person derided the track on social media.

People Raise More “Light Skin Fishing” Allegations Against PinkyDoll

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

However, another criticism being leveled at the TikTok star is that she has done nothing to address the “Light Skin Fishing” allegations made against earlier this year. “She still using that light filter proudly , one person noted on social media while reacting to Pinky’s response video. It was an appearance at the Streamys in August that initially started the controversy. Fans were quick to point out that Pinky was much darker IRL than she appeared in her content. This led people to speculate that the content creator was utilizing lighting and makeup to lighten her skin to garner more attention online. While Sinon is a Black woman, there have long been arguments that lighter-skinned Black women find more success compared to their darker-skinned counterparts.

Pinky later addressed these claims in a conversation with TMZ. “Well you know, when I go into the sun, I get a little darker. But I love to be a Black woman, what can you do?” she began. “I think they are just hating.” The interviewer quickly moved on to a different topic without challenging Pinky’s answer. However, nearly six months later, it’s clear that Pinky intends to do nothing about the hotly-debated criticism being leveled against her.

TikTok Launches ‘Add to Music App’ Feature, Enabling Seamless Song Saves to Streaming Services

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a groundbreaking move for music enthusiasts, TikTok has introduced “Add to Music App,” a revolutionary feature enabling users in the US and UK to save discovered songs directly to their preferred streaming service effortlessly. This innovation, in partnership with major platforms like Amazon Music and Spotify, enhances TikTok’s reputation as a global hub for music discovery.

The Add to Music App feature simplifies the process for fans to celebrate and revisit their favorite tunes from the For You feed. Users will now find an “Add Song” option next to track details at the bottom of TikTok videos, allowing them to save the song to their chosen streaming service seamlessly. The default playlist option is available, or users can opt to add the track to a new or existing playlist of their creation. This user-friendly feature is accessible from the For You feed and an artist’s Sound Detail Page.

“TikTok is already the world’s most powerful platform for music discovery and promotion, which helps artists connect with our global community to drive engagement with their music. Add to Music App takes this process a step further, creating a direct link between discovery on TikTok and consumption on a music streaming service, making it easier than ever for music fans to enjoy the full length song on the music streaming service of their choice, thereby generating even greater value for artists and rightsholders,” said Ole Obermann, Global Head of Music Business Development at TikTok.

“Some of the best parts of being a music lover are those serendipitous moments when you discover a new song or artist that you connect with instantly. At Amazon Music, we’re looking to make it easier to convert those moments into enduring fandom. That’s why we worked together with TikTok on the Add to Music App feature, which makes it easier for fans to listen to the music they love and for artists to build fandom,” said Karolina Joynathsing, Director of Business Development for Amazon Music.

“No matter where you are, or the moment you’re in, we want to create less work to get to the audio you love. That means being everywhere our users are and creating seamless ways to save songs to Spotify to enjoy when and how they choose to listen. As the world’s largest audio streaming subscription service, our mission is to bring artists and fans together, so you can listen to more of what you love, across any platform or device. Essentially, you won’t need to find audio to suit the moment. It will find you,” said Sten Garmark, Vice President, Global Head of Consumer Experience at Spotify.

Add to Music App is currently available in the US and UK, with plans for a broader rollout in the future.
