Trippie Redd Bashes His Fans For Leaking Music In Bitter Twitter Rant

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trippie Redd does not have the superstar profile that he did a few years ago. The rapper was on the ascent, scoring major collaborations and dropping singles that scaled the charts. Redd’s last few drops have not gone according to plan, though. Fans clowned him for his MGK EP, and his recent collab with KSI was taken even less seriously. The latter was so derided, in fact, that Trippie Redd got on Twitter to make fun of it himself. It seems like the rapper reached a breaking point on October 13, though. He did not appreciate the continued leaking of his music, and made it known to fans.

Trippie Redd started off mildly enough, but his tweets gained more vitriol as the day wore on. The rant was prompted by the fact that a fan posted leaked material of his online. If i don’t get another song with Bieber, y’all fault wtf,” he wrote. “Leaking old songs too…….. get a life.” Trippie Redd used this recent leak as an excuse to sound off on the fans who have been leaking his music for years behind his back. “My last 4 albums leaked a week before it came out,” he asserted. “Don’t y’all get tired of doing that sh*t.” Things got even worse when Redd revealed that the leaks significantly impacted the rollout of his solo album Mansion Music.

Trippie Redd Asked Fans To Stop Leaking Songs

Apparently, Mansion Music was conceived as a double album before fans got ahold of recordings and uploaded them online. As a result, Trippie Redd decided to cut down on the tracklist and release a single disc version. Worse still, the rapper claims he had to rush to record new songs to avoid giving fans what they had already heard through leaks. “Only reason Mansion Music wasn’t a 2 part album,” he explained. “Is cuz y’all leak all the songs at once so i had to rush it out. Ts annoying atp.”

In case Trippie Redd’s sentiment wasn’t clear, he quote tweeted the fan account Redd Files. The account often posts links to the rapper’s leaked music, and he made it clear that he didn’t co-sign fans using the account to listen. “Stop leaking my music,” he wrote. Trippie Redd has a new album slated for release in 2024, LIVE LOVE LAUGH DIE, but once again, a proper release date has been derailed by leaks. Nearly a dozen songs have either been leaked or teased via snippet. Hopefully Redd is able to remedy the issue moving forward.

Juice WRLD Drops Posthumous “Both Ways” Video Directed By Trippie Redd

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, fans are once again being treated to two long-sought Juice WRLD gems: minimal, melodic “Both Ways” and the darkly booming “Cavalier.” The songs continue an ongoing series, arriving as The Pre-Party (Extended) EP via Grade A and Interscope Records. Additionally, “Both Ways” comes with a video starring and co-directed by Juice friend and collaborator Trippie Redd along with DotComNirvan.

Blessed with a beat from Juice’s right-hand producer Nick Mira alongside Pharaoh Vice (iann dior, The Kid LAROI, Lil Peep), “Both Ways” is low-slung with a subtly infectious groove. Juice is in his zone, casually shifting rhythms and catching melodies, feeling himself and issuing warnings: “If you’re crossing my streets, better look both ways.”

Trippie Redd Jokes That He’s Being Held Hostage By KSI After Collab Single

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

KSI is not anybody’s favorite rapper. An entertaining streamer and YouTuber? Sure. A lyricist? Absolutely not. KSI has been trying to launch a music career for years. His new single, however, “Thick of It,” might be his worst release yet. He has ruthlessly clowned by fans and influencers alike for his Ed Sheeran-like bars and awkward delivery. The other common talking point among fans is theories as to how KSI got a guest verse from a real rapper like Trippie Redd. Well, Redd decided to weigh in on October 7, but it did not make KSI look any better.

Trippie Redd decided to pile on KSI and the song. He posted the song with a caption claiming that he was kidnapped and forced to spit a verse. “I was held hostage to do this,” he stated. Redd doubled down on the absurd claim by telling fans that he was still being held captive by KSI, and only they can help him get free. “If this doesn’t hit 20 million the first month,” he said. “KSI won’t let me go. Please free me.” Trippie Redd has never taken himself too seriously, though. There wasn’t many other ways to promote a song that has been universally clowned. Drake has even given his two cents on “Thick of It.”

Trippie Redd Wants The Song To Get 20 Million Views

Drake, who previously worked with Trippie Redd on the song “Betrayal,” fired shots in the comment section of an Adin Ross stream. He jokingly told Ross to stop playing whatever he had on and thrown KSI’s new single on instead. “Play KSI new banger for the max,” the 6 God wrote. Trippie Redd knows most of the hate is being directed at KSI, in particular. That said, the rapper has struggled to catch a break, in terms of positive feedback on his recent output.

Trippie Redd teamed up with Machine Gun Kelly for the collab EP Genre: Sadboy in March. Nobody seemed to like it. Many called it out for having sloppy music and so-so lyricism. Fans didn’t love Redd’s previous solo release, A Love Letter to You 5, either. Fans absolutely hated the 2023 album. Many pointing out that Trippie Redd’s music is sounding increasingly stale and made for the lowest common denominator. Hopefully the KSI debacle is a wake up call.

Drake & Trippie Redd Meet Up With 1400cjay

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When you think of unlikely but surprisingly welcome collaborations throughout the last decade, Drake and Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal” might stand out to you. Even though the two artists are pretty stylistically distinct for the most part, they linked up for a rage-inspired instrumental and held their own just fine. In fact, it was a bit of a preview for Drizzy’s For All The Dogs years later, and now we have another follow-up to this bond. The duo snapped a pic together alongside 1400cjay, which led a lot of fans to wonder whether or not they’re coming out with some new material together.

Of course, we all know the high praise that Trippie Redd has for Drake. He proclaimed “Back To Back” to be the greatest diss track of all time during an appearance on Complex‘s “GOAT Talk” series alongside Machine Gun Kelly. This emerged right around the time that the Toronto superstar and Kendrick Lamar were firing disses back and forth at each other, so maybe the conversation deserves a revisit. If you’re curious, MGK picked his own Eminem diss track “Rap Devil” as the GOAT diss song.

Drake, Trippie Redd & 1400cjay

Elsewhere, Trippie Redd has spoken on how Drake was an artistic inspiration for him. “My brother passed away when I was young, so that kind of gave me that drive to start wanting to make music,” he told The New York Times last year. “And I would sit at my grandma’s house and just rap on the stairs and be there for like two, three hours, just freestyling. We would have little things at school where we would have to write, so I would show my pen skills. I would make my school projects cool. Like, oh, I’m gonna write a letter to Drake. I literally did that too, I wrote a rap to Drake. I was in like seventh grade.”

Meanwhile, speaking of inspiration, Drake recently gave Lil Wayne his flowers for being his day one mentor. “We were so lucky to have the most supportive boss in the game always gassed us up,” he wrote over a repost of an old Young Money clip. As you can tell, this inspiration between artists is always a two-way street, and it always comes from something greater. One day, the next big rap artist will be talking about how much Trippie Redd inspired him to make it big.

Trippie Redd, LAZER DIM 700, & VonOff1700 Collab For Cutthroat Single “Murderman”

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the mid to late 2010s, Canton, Ohio native Trippie Redd was a fresh voice for hip-hop. His blends of emo, heavy metal, pop rap, and trap brought some of the biggest songs of the decade. “Dark Knight Dummo”, “Talking A Walk”, “1400/ 999 Freestyle”, “Topanga”, and “Love Scars”, are just a few. Additionally, he’s done some decent work in the 2020s, especially at the start. However, the same cannot be said today and arguably over the last couple of years. For some reason, he cannot seem to recapture what made him so special at his peak. Unfortunately, the struggle for Trippie Redd continues this week too with “Murderman”.

At some point, he’s going to be dropping LIFE’S A TRIP 2, the sequel to his well-received debut album of the same name. If more songs like “Murderman” are what we are going to be receiving, then this LP is doomed. Honestly, though, it’s already trending in that direction. “LWRW” and “LGLG” are debatably some of the most repetitive and boring singles of 2024. “Bando Kid” is definitely the most respectable and closest return to form in our eyes, however. For “Murderman”, though, Trippie is working with LAZER DIM 700 and VonOff1700, two more underground names who bring an extremely murderous tone.

However, that’s about all that they do here. At times, they try to sound like Playboi Carti’s deep voice, including Trippie. If you haven’t heard a VonOff feature or single, you are certainly in for an experience. We don’t want to say any more, so check it out for yourself and see if you agree with our take.

“Murderman” – Trippie Redd, LAZER DIM 700 & VonOff1700

Quotable Lyrics:

It ain’t no love when you deep in these streets
Send out a drop, we gon’ push up, we deep
And I keep splurgin’ my racks on this weed
Hollow tips in the Glock, s*** got disease
Step on these n****s neck, we don’t let ’em breathe
Pull out that scram, gotta spread out my drip

Trippie Redd Continues To Tease His Next Album With “LGLG”

August 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trippie Redd has not been in his prime according to a lot of listeners. Obviously, a great deal of his fans are going to defend their Canton, Ohio MC star, but we can see where the former camp is coming from. His last few projects, MANSION MUSIK, A Love Letter To You 5, and Saint Michael V2, seem to have come and went. Furthermore, his collaborative record with mgk, genre : sadboy, was another disappointment thanks to its blandness. On top of that, some of his recent singles, especially “LWRW”, just feel lazy.

However, Trippie seemed to redeem himself a little bit with “Bando Kid”, the follow-up to the aforementioned track. It’s also the second single for the upcoming sequel LP to his debut album LIFE’S A TRIP 2. It saw the “Miss The Rage” artist lean into that heavy metal sound and the effort level was clearly raised in our opinion. Now, Trippie Redd is looking to carry that momentum into “LGLG”. On this record, it feels he went back to the basics. For him, that means a catchy and repetitive chorus mixed with some dark lyricism and production. For some reason that method on “LWRW” came across as annoying, but not here. Trippie even tries his hand at interpolating Playboi Carti’s deep voice, as well as Travis Scott’s recent growling he’s been messing with. Overall, it’s a decent effort but let us know what you think below.

“LGLG”- Trippie Redd

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m just like a bandit, join the dark side
I’m feelin’ like Anakin, boy I’ma banish him
Throw a few bands in your face (Yeah, shh)
Back in the lab, I record on a boat
Actually, this s*** a yacht
Always keep one in the top, keep me a mop

Trippie Redd Sports A Heavy Metal Aesthetic On Hellish Single “Bando Kid”

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trippie Redd is riding off the momentum from his collaborative genre : sadboy EP with fellow Ohioan mgk with “Bando Kid”. Unfortunately, the wave is not all that substantial, as lot of fans were pretty disappointed in the final product. Additionally, his solo stuff as of late is not generating the same amount of hype lately, too. “LWRW” (Left Wrist Right Wrist), as well as his last three projects came and went for a lot of folks. However, Trippie Redd might be drawing some people back in with “Bando Kid”.

This track, along with “LWRW” figure to make the cut for LIFE’S A TRIP 2. Yes, a sequel to his well-received debut album in 2018 is possibly coming this year. Trippie is not ready to reveal all of the important details yet, but he is certainly working toward it. In a now deleted Instagram post near the release of Saint Michael EP, the emo rapper revealed that he would be going on expedition and recording in a specific location. “Life’s a Trip 2. Every last song will be recorded on a yacht. Taking trips for this! Gotta see the world and work”. On “Bando Kid” is mixing some elements of heavy metal and trap rap, making for a nonstop thrill ride. Trippie’s wailing vocals over the epic guitar riffs and punchy drum kicks feel grand in scope. Overall, this one of his best offerings as of late and you should rock out with him using the link below.

Listen To “Bando Kid” By Trippie Redd

Quotable Lyrics:

Comin’ from them dirty-a** trenches
We had no silver spoon, this s*** was Hell
Got rich and my friends still dead or in jail (Ahh)
You can do it to yourself or they’ll do it to you (Woo)
R.I.P. to X, R.I.P. Juice (Woo)
Free Melvin, free Thug

Trippie Redd Thinks This Drake Diss Track Is The Greatest Of All Time

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trippie Redd and Machine Gun Kelly, the brains behind the recently released genre : sadboy project, were Complex‘s most recent guests for their GOAT Talk series, in which artists debate the best (and worst) contenders in particular categories. The topic of diss tracks came up, for which MGK suggested a pretty understandably biased answer: his “Rap Devil” diss track towards Eminem from back in 2018. On the other hand, Trippie invoked former collaborator Drake and his Meek Mill diss, 2015’s “Back To Back,” as his answer. As far as other revelations, the “Taking A Walk” creative named Young Thug as the greatest MC of all time, whereas Kelly gave Lil Wayne the title.

Furthermore, both sadboys have been involved in some publicly notable beef in the past, albeit for very different reasons and with very different results. Machine Gun Kelly battled Eminem in 2018, a feud which ended with Slim Shady’s “Killshot” diss track and no response from its target, who chose to publicly downplay it rather than clap back. Whether or not you agree with his assessment, at least he put an end to it instead of ignoring it until the hype died down. In Trippie Redd’s case, he and former collaborator 6ix9ine went at it online, but one of Tekashi’s former associates, Anthony “Harv” Ellison, claimed that it was all fake for staged publicity.

Trippie Redd & Machine Gun Kelly On GOAT Talk: Watch

The “GOAT Diss Song” conversation begins at around the 7:15-minute mark.

Another debatably staged development has been taking over a lot of discourse around genre : sadboy, in fact. Trippie Redd and Machine Gun Kelly recently clowned a producer who they fired from their collab project, who claimed that part of their rollout was to start beef with producers from their tape. Overall, it’s a very confusing and odd marketing decision either way, whether to lean into it or to seemingly validate the claims. Maybe this is just the evolution of rap beef these days: fighting over made-up fights and why the made-up fights are worse than the real fights over the blah, blah, blah… and so on.

Meanwhile, this all unfortunately falls under some mournful context given the passing of Trippie’s frequent collaborator Chris King. It’s a difficult time for his loved ones, and one that these debacles over genre : sadboy must not make any easier for the Ohio native in particular. We wish King’s loved ones and him the best in this trying time, and that they find light in their corners. For more news and the latest updates on Trippie Redd and Drake, log back into HNHH.

MGK Avoids Taylor Swift Question Because He Doesn’t Want “Smoke” With Swifties

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

MGK has spent most of his career battling other artists. He’s aimed confrontational bars at the likes of Jack Harlow, G-Eazy, and most famously, Eminem. He hasn’t always come out on top (most fans think Eminem took his head off), but that’s beside the point. The bottom line is that he’s shown a willingness to get in the ring when he has an issue with someone. It may be due of this reputation that MGK clarified he has no problem with Taylor Swift. The rapper-turned-rock star stated, unequivocally, that he doesn’t want to suffer the ire of “Swifties.”

The topic came about during a recent episode of the YouTube series First We Feast. MGK and Trippie Redd took turns giving each other difficult prompts, and the former got a doozy involving Swift. Redd dared MGK to name three negative things about the “Antihero” singer. “You offered to pay $1 million if Travis Kelce would come play for the Cleveland Browns,” the rapper noted. “Burn that bridge by saying three mean things about Taylor Swift.” MGK immediately rejected the prompt, despite Redd’s teasing. “Jesus Christ, I just — bro, she’s very nice,” MGK asserted. “She’s very, very nice.”

MGK Claimed That Taylor Swift Is A “Saint”

Redd’s teasing continued, which spurred MGK to state his reasoning. “Ladies and gentleman,” he stated. You’ve got to be out of your muthaf**king mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase.” MGK’s unadulterated support continued: “Also, Taylor is a saint and she’s very nice to me.” MGK’s fandom is not surprising, given that he was pictured partying alongside Swift and Kelce at the Super Bowl. The “Tickets to My Downfall” singer was also seen attending Swift’s “Eras Tour” in August 2023.

MGK and Trippie Redd recently dropped the collab EP Genre: Sadboy. The former made his name in the world of pop-punk over the last couple years, but he recently told Audacy that he’s going to be returning to rap music. “I’m going to make a rap album for myself,” he announced. “For no other reason, no point to prove, no chip on my shoulder… If I keep doing things to prove things to people, I’m going to, one, drive myself crazy and, two, not make a good product.”
