Wack 100 Claims To Have A Flash Drive That Can End Drake’s Career

by

Wack 100 claimed he possessed a flash drive with information that could end Drake‘s career. Flaunting a thumb drive on the latest episode of he and Adam22’s popular podcast, Wack spoke on receiving damaging content on the 6God. Wack claims not releasing the information out of respect for the superstar. But, the manager/podcaster connects the information to a Drake affiliate, Top5.

“I see you got Top5 up there … Drake needs to get away from Top5,” Wack 100 said as he revealed a flash drive. “This is how much respect I have for you, Drake. I’m telling you. Somebody, listen. Drake hit me. No troll. On Piru, you need to get away from that dude [Top5]. This has been in existence for 90 days, and I have made sure … and it hasn’t went anywhere, personally. I think you know what I’m talking about. That dude, with his mouth and the things he says. It does not support your career and how far you’ve come.”

Wack 100 Alleges Possession of a Drake Career-Ending Flash Drive & Toronto’s Top 5 Is Connected

In the beef, Kendrick Lamar, Wack 100 advised Drake not to add the involvement of street culture. Drake would mention known gangster rappers YG and The Game in lyrics dissing Lamar on “Family Matters.” Wack 100 admitted that Kendrick Lamar beat Drake in the beef with the massive hit “Not Like Us.” Last week, Wack claimed that Drake’s lawsuit against Universal could have an ulterior motive. He claimed the lawsuit could drive the company’s stock down to be brought by a third party.

Wack 100 addressed Top5 and his viral antics over the weekend. In an interview with DJ Vlad, Wack claimed Top5 is “irrelevant.” “You ain’t nobody, bro,” he told DJ Vlad about the Toronto influencer. “We watched this same dude get mushed in the face and kicked in the a**.” Wack ridiculed the artist further, questioning both his toughness and his credibility. “I don’t know where you come from, bro,” he continued. “We’re off the porch at 12. Dude just does a lot of talking.”

Top5 Threatens To Shoot Kendrick Lamar If He Ever Goes To Toronto

by

After Drake paid for Top5’s legal fees to beat a murder case, the Toronto rapper got right back to reverting to his violent ways, at least verbally. Moreover, you’ve probably already heard about how Top5 threatened Drake’s opponent, Kendrick Lamar, during a recent livestream. Now, he’s doubling down on his promises of violence thanks to a recent appearance on Late Night With Liyah Mai, during which he threatened to hit K.Dot with a drive-by shooting if he ever crosses into Toronto. Of course, this is pretty much the worst way in which this feud could’ve evolved, so we pray that these are empty threats for everyone’s sake.

“Tell him come to Toronto. Swiss cheese,” Top5 said of Kendrick Lamar. “I’ll get the low, put on my Nike tech black, tell YG get us a driver, put the window down and get some fresh air. How disrespectful are y’all to ask me about Kendrick Lamar? Drake’s a bad boy. There’s a girl right there, you want [her] to get you? Don’t disrespect my homie Drake like that.” Mai proposed that Kendrick beat Drizzy in their battle, which made Top5 very angry.

“I’m looking for Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar,” Top5 previously threatened on a livestream with Adin Ross and DJ Akademiks. “I’m doing my homework right now, I’m doing my task on them. Nothing incriminating, I’m just looking for them. I want Metro Boomin one on one. I don’t want no weapons, nothing. I’d knock him the f**k out. Kendrick Lamar, you passed the border. Chubbs called me. I will quit rapping if Kendrick Lamar goes to [the Toronto restaurant] New Ho King without 20 police officers […] You’re crazy for testing my gangster. You see what happened to DJ Drama?

“Me and Drake are gonna link up in a couple of days and we’re gonna do this podcast, and we’re gonna play the ‘Not Like Us’ video and we’re gonna look at every n***a in the video and we’re gonna do homework,” Top5 continued. “We’re gonna look for them n***as. I don’t f**k around, play around ’bout Aubrey, that’s my bro. My Jewish brother, shalom.” Hopefully Kendrick Lamar’s friends aren’t serious about their retorts, either…

Drake Called Out For Top5 Support By Alleged Murder Victim’s Family

by

For a couple of different reasons, Top5’s release from prison drew a lot of controversy online. Of course, a big and obvious one was how he threatened Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin while livestreaming with DJ Akademiks shortly after returning home. But a larger point of contention is how the Toronto rapper (real name Hassan Ali) claimed via social media that Drake paid for his legal fees. For those unaware, he faced trial for the fatal shooting fo 20-year-old Hashim Omar Hashi. Earlier this week. a judge determined that various pieces of evidence were inadmissible in court, so the case stopped there.

However, while Top5 thanked Drake for this, he reportedly edited the post afterward to remove any mention of him. Many believe that this case is one of mistaken identity, as Hashi studied accounting and had no verifiable gang ties. Now, the OVO mogul received some scathing criticism from the victim’s cousin. “Zero clue this was even a thing,” they shared on their Instagram Story. “This s**t hit like a blow to the stomach […] THIS IS THE WILDEST MOVE. WHAT THE F**K ARE YALL DOING @champagnepapi #JusticeForHashim.

Drake Gets Harsh Criticism For Supporting Top5

“Thank you @champagnepapi your version of justice means Hashim’s sister had to watch her brother’s murderer celebrating on TV,” they continued against Drake. “He insisted if that tells you anything about the [caliber] of people we’re dealing with here – during her honeymoon. When I came back from Portland, they told me @ovo40 was one of the good guys, he was really tryna find a solution for what’s going on in the city. THIS IS THE SOLUTION?! Any and everything he does hereafter, every mom that has to hear him sing abt murdering their kid — THAT’S ON YALL!! The blood is on your hands.

As for Top5’s case, he was not the suspected gunman, but rather a passenger alongside whoever shot Hashi from a vehicle. He continues to stand by his innocence in this case and denies any and all ties to any gang. “An innocent man just came home. I hope they find whoever they did that. R.I.P.,” the Toronto MC told press outside of the courthouse after his release.

Drake Makes Lil Wayne’s Top 5 Rappers List Instead Of Kendrick Lamar

by

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral lyrical battle has left fans everywhere curious about who their favorite artists have sided with. The general consensus is that Kendrick came out on top with explosive diss tracks like “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us,” but evidently, that wasn’t enough for everyone to declare him a better artist overall. Recently, for example, Lil Wayne shared a list of his top five rappers during an interview. Kendrick didn’t even make the cut, but his longtime friend Drake did.

“My Top 5 rappers of all time are JAY-Z, Missy Elliott, Eminem, ummm… The Notorious B.I.G. — oh, and this is no specific order right here — and Drizzy,” he said. This doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, as Drake and Weezy go way back. With that being said, it’s quite a statement to make right now considering the feud.

Lil Wayne Reveals His Top 5 Rappers Of All Time

Listeners have been especially curious about Lil Wayne’s stance in all of this, as Kendrick name-dropped him on “Not Like Us.” In the song, he accuses Drake of sleeping with Lil Wayne’s girlfriend while he was behind bars and mentions his Weezy arm tattoo. Lil Wayne seemingly confirmed that this did happen in an interview that resurfaced amid the beef, though he didn’t appear to be too hurt by the debacle. A clip of the track playing at a Lil Wayne concert later circulated online, which led to speculation that he was siding with Kendrick.

It was only a DJ getting the crowd excited for the main act, however, which likely means that the rapper himself had nothing to do with it. What do you think of Lil Wayne putting Drake in his top five rappers and leaving out Kendrick Lamar? Are you surprised or not? Where do you think he stands in their feud?

Joe Budden Puts Kendrick Lamar In His Top 5 Of All Time, But There’s A Catch

by

Joe Budden says he’d put Kendrick Lamar in his list of the five best rappers of all time, but admits there’s several other names that could slot into the final spot. Speaking about the topic on his podcast, he explained that the top four spots are all locked in with 2Pac, JAY-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Nas, but the fifth place is where things get malleable.

“If he ain’t 5, he’s 5B, 5C, 5D,” Budden began. “For me, it’s ‘Pac, Hov– in no order. I’m just naming them. ‘Pac, Hov, Biggie, Nas, and after that everything can get tricky. I’m gonna choose to put a Kendrick there. If I didn’t put Kendrick there, I’m putting 3k there. If I don’t put 3k there, I’m putting Wayne there. There’s 10 names that, they beat the rest of y’all and Kendrick is there. There’s 10 names that, I don’t give a f*ck what rapper y’all name, these 10 win. The MCs know it, the entertainers know it. Them 10 did what the f*ck they had to do.”

DDG’s Top 5 Female Rappers Include Sexyy Red, She Reacts

by

The biggest names in female rap grow to be so successful partially due to controversy. Sexyy Red is evidence of this, as she’s had one of the biggest and fastest comeups we’ve seen amongst femcees in recent years. Because of how quickly she skyrocketed to fame, some can’t help but ponder if the St. Louis native is an industry plant. Nevertheless, she continues to rise to new heights, even after welcoming her second child just a few weeks ago. Red’s resume is seriously impressive already, but now, she can officially add “DDG’s Top 5” to her growing list of accolades.

The YouTuber is no stranger to trolling his haters and opps on Twitter, but on Wednesday (March 20), DDG made a point to praise his fellow new parent. “Sexyy Red Top 5 female rapper of all time,” he boldly declared, earning a retweet from the “SkeeYee” hitmaker herself. Rather than simply taking the compliment with confidence, the NSFW rhymer suggested that DDG might face some backlash for his post. “Dey not gon like you fa dis one 😂😂,” Red laughed while speculating.

DDG is a Big Fan of St. Louis’ Sexyy Red

“[On God], Salt-n-Pepa not f**kin [with you] 💯,” the “Elon Musk” artist promised his friend. Of course, not everyone agrees with DDG’s take, but it’s hard to deny how impressively she’s navigated through her rise to fame. Not only is she close friends with Drake and SZA, but she’s already nabbed a Nicki Minaj collaboration and has other artists fangirling all over the globe.

DDG’s fans have seen a noticeable change in his behaviour since stepping into his role as a father. Not only did the Pontiac native shoutout Sexyy Red for doing her thing in the rap game this week, but he also made sure his partner Halle Bailey was feeling the love with an award show at their home in her honour.

Black Thought Reveals His Top Five Favorite MCs

by

During a recent interview with HipHopDX, Black Thought revealed a list of his top five favorite MCs. Aside from the list of artists, the Roots performer also shared a theory that each of them represents one of his “primary colors.” According to him, his list of favorite artists “has always revolved around [his] foundation,” so there’s a great deal of meaning behind it.

First up on his list is Kool G Rap, who he commends for his “expansive vocabulary and “the breadth of knowledge that he was able to incorporate into his storytelling.” According to Black Thought, his work is “timeless,” and he could listen to him on repeat “forever.” Next up is Big Daddy Kane, who he says he chose for “some of the same reasons.” He claims the artist “was far more stylistic than technical, or just as stylistic as he was technical,” dubbing him a “smooth operator.”

That brought him to his third pick, Rakim. “What both Kane and G Rap, and also Rakim, brought to the table was a different cadence that we hadn’t heard before — that Shakespearean type ‘to be or not to be’ style … They all incorporated that Shakespearean thing, but in a different way,” he added. Proceeding with his list, Black Thought also named Chuck D of Public Enemy, who he praised for his activism and “brave” stylistic choices. Last up is LL Cool J, who he’s toured with over the year. “He was so influential to me as a young person because I saw myself in him; we were so close in age,” he described.

“LL was the royal chief rocker but he was 16 years old, and he moved like a seasoned veteran,” he also noted. “And that’s something that, even having toured with him this summer, is authentic. That’s just who he is. He’s a class act.” What do you think of Black Thought’s top five favorite MCs? Who’s in your top five?

Rubi Rose’s Top 5 Artists Of All Time List Sparks Discussion

by

When it comes to music, we all have our personal preferences, and those preferences often extend to our favorite artists. Recently, Rubi Rose, the talented rapper and rising star in the hip-hop scene, shared her Top 5 Artists of All Time list on social media, setting off a wave of reactions and debate within the music community. Rubi Rose’s list includes some of the biggest names in the music industry, and she doesn’t hold back in her admiration for them. Her list reads as follows: “Top 5 alive- Drake, The Weeknd, Future, Slime, Frank Ocean.” While these artists have undoubtedly left a profound impact on the music landscape, Rubi’s choices did not go without scrutiny.

Social media lit up with reactions to her list, and it’s safe to say that not everyone agreed with her selections. Some critics argued that her list was missing essential names, most notably Kendrick Lamar. Fans of Kendrick Lamar, who has received critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base, expressed their surprise and disappointment that he didn’t make the cut. One Twitter user went so far as to declare, “Any list without J. Cole is invalid,” highlighting the omission of the North Carolina rapper, who has been a force in the industry for years. It’s clear that music enthusiasts have strong opinions when it comes to their favorite artists, and Rubi Rose’s list ignited a passionate discussion.

Rubi Rose Names Her Favorites

“Didn’t even put Kendrick at 5, she drinkin fabuloso with ice,” another person said. “Her Playlist is dry af idc,” someone else said. Despite the controversy, it’s important to remember that music is inherently subjective. What resonates with one person may not have the same impact on another. Rubi Rose’s list reflects her personal taste and the artists who have influenced her the most. In a genre as diverse and dynamic as hip-hop and R&B, there’s no shortage of talent to choose from, making it nearly impossible to create a list that everyone can agree on.

In the end, Rubi Rose’s list is a testament to the wide variety of musical talent that exists today. While it may have stirred up some controversy, it also serves as a reminder of the vibrant discussions that music can spark. As fans continue to debate and share their own lists, it’s clear that the love for music remains a unifying force, even when opinions vary. Who’s in your top 5? Let us know on HNHH.

Happy Heavenly Birthday To Late Hip Hop Icon Tupac Shakur! Top 5 ‘Pac Predictions

by
jet set tupac restaurant promote

Today, June 16, Icon Tupac Shakur would have turned 50 and even in his untimely death, he is still regarded as one of the most influential MC’s of our time

2Pac’s devoted followers look upon him as somewhat of a prophet due to his ability to remain relevant with the times long after his demise. In his music, he almost predicted events that took effect after his presence was no longer with us. In celebration of his 50th birthday, TheSource.com presents our favorite Top 5 Tupac Predictions:

Prediction #1: “Only The Good Die Young”

It was more than a tragedy/ Emotions be grabbin’ me/ Plane fell from the sky/ We tryin’ to figure what happened/ Burnin’ churches, fearin’ God who can be so cruel?”

Prior to the 911 tragedies, Pac quoted these lyrics explaining the events of the time. Regardless of whether he predicted it knowingly, the World Trade Center was indeed attacked by planes and churches are still being burned even in this era.

Prediction #2: “Changes”

And although it seems heaven sent, we ain’t ready to see a Black president.”

President Obama wasn’t ready to be in the White House when ‘Pac made the song “Changes,” but since then, this prediction has come to pass. The lyrics of this particular song are relevant even now, as he goes into the condition of Black people in America and the struggles still being faced today.

Prediction #3: “God Bless The Dead”

Rest in peace to my muthafucka Biggie Smalls…”

The erie taunt by 2Pac before either he or Big was murdered may have been one of the misfortunate misinterpretations regarding the beef that caused their demise since it wasn’t about Notorious Big or was it?

Prediction #4: “Niggaz Done Changed”

I’ve been shot and murdered, can’t tell you how it
happened word for word / but best believe that niggaz’ gonna get what they deserve.”

‘The bars from “Niggaz Done Changed” are just one example of the many times Pac predicted his untimely death.

Prediction #5: “Keep Ya Head Up”

I think it’s time to kill for our women/ Time to heal our women, be real to our women/ And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies.”

In “Keep Ya Head Up” Pac was talking to the women of the time and gave his prediction of what would occur if the men don’t support them. Unfortunately, his prediction was correct regarding the current generation.

DJ Drama’s Team Denies Paying $120K To Get Stolen Chains Returned

by

DJ Drama’s visit to Toronto didn’t end smoothly, apparently. Three men in masks took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal that they stole the Gangsta Grillz DJ’s chain during his visit to the 6ix. Along with shouting out Drake, who Drama’s had issues with in the past, the three individuals seemingly confirmed their alliance with incarcerated Toronto rapper Top 5’s GGG crew. “This is — that’s what you f**kin’ get for not checkin’ in!” one masked robber says holding up the chains. “Shout out boy, Drizzy, eh? Triple G’s, you know how we rock!”

Ultimately, Top 5 chimed in on the matter, seemingly confirming that he was the one responsible for Drama’s chain getting snatched. “For all you that don’t post my music, and don’t play my music 2023 your chains are getting snatched,” Top5 wrote. “@djdrama come get ur chain back lil boy. Eventually, he alleged that DJ Drama put up $120,000 for his chain to get returned. “120K for the chain back that’s a good deal,” he wrote.

DJ Drama’s Camp Reacts

DJ Drama’s crew finally responded to the allegations after days of headlines. While the Generation Now co-founder hasn’t chimed in yet, the label’s official Instagram page slid into the comment section of Akademiks’ post with a cap emoji. Then, the other co-founder of Generation Now, Leighton “Lakeshow” Morrison chuckled at the rumors of Drama having to pay for his chain. “Lololololololol,” he wrote. It seems as though Drama isn’t actually willing to pay the fee, after all.

At this point, the details surrounding the incident involving DJ Drama remain unclear. However, there have been a number of people who came forward with alleged details surrounding the altercation. Apparently, Drama got jumped following his performance at Century Nightclub on King Street. However, one tweet alleged that he got attacked inside of the venue. At this point, no footage of the altercation has emerged and DJ Drama hasn’t necessarily acknowledged Top5’s claims. We’ll keep you posted on anymore developments surrounding DJ Drama and Top 5.
