Angus Cloud’s “Euphoria” Audition Tape Surfaces After His Death

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The cast and crew of Euphoria are still processing the news of Angus Cloud’s sudden death, not to mention his friends, family, and fans. Those close to the late star have been sharing their favourite memories with him via social media. Since the news broke, his mother, Lisa Cloud, has been doing her part to keep the community updated. She’s already made it known that she doesn’t think her son intentionally took his own life. Rather, she believes that he may have fallen victim to an accidental overdose.

Aside from that bit of news, Lisa also shared an old casting video for Euphoria that the talent agent who first scouted Angus shared with her. “This was just sent to me by Jennifer Venditti who scouted Angus in Brooklyn. It’s his first tape,” Lisa wrote on Facebook earlier this week. “After this was seen by the creators of Euphoria, he was asked to read for Fezco. It really captures my son’s extraordinary spirit,” Angus’ mom added.

In the six-minute video, the creative describes himself as “goofy” while talking to the camera. “We call it pepping, when you just engage in any random spontaneous activity, so we’ll just leave out the house and just find a whole lot of fun stuff to do,” Cloud shared when detailing his hobbies. As for his music preferences, the actor shared, “I like all good music, whatever pleases my ears, but I tend to listen to hip-hop. I don’t exactly know why, it just sounds the best to me.”

They may have physical similarities, and both suffered a tragic fate in the end, but prior to his passing, Angus Cloud promised to never portray Mac Miller in a biopic. Read everything that the late 25-year-old had to say at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Joe Budden On Lizzo: “That’s Celebrities!”

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It was only a matter of time before podcaster Joe Budden joined in on the discourse surrounding Lizzo’s sexual harassment and hostile workplace lawsuit. As you’ve likely heard, the body-positive artist is facing serious backlash for allegedly pressuring past employees into sexual acts at an Amsterdam strip club, firing them due to weight gain, and acting aggressively toward them, among other things. In a recent statement, the Detroit native shut down most of the gossip. Still, some were left dissatisfied with her response.

On Friday (August 11), Joe Budden TV‘s YouTube lit up with a new video discussing current events. Of course, Lizzo’s troubling case was at the top of the list. “I witnessed how arrogant, self-centred, and unkind she is,” the host read out loud when sharing the story of a director who previously worked with the “Truth Hurts” hitmaker. “Well, that’s celebrities,” Budden said with a laugh as his co-hosts agreed. “When I was reading all of this s**t, it sounded like regular music industry s**t to me. Maybe that’s not a good thing, I don’t know,” another voice in the room pointed out.

Joe Budden and Co-Hosts Speak on Lizzo Allegations

“It felt like the accusations were coming from people who expected Disneyworld and got like regular, hip-hop music industry s**t,” they added. Others shared that the banana sex club escapades are what left them feeling unsure of which side to take. “It sounds like there was peer pressure involved,” someone suggested. Another added that the dancers also likely feared that they would lose their jobs if they decided to say no to Lizzo’s Amsterdam antics. Ultimately, Budden feels that the issue lies in the fact that the women worked together, and being in an NSFW environment with her employees put the embattled entertainer in a position of power over them.

Lizzo fans who don’t want to believe the allegations could be true have been anxiously awaiting more updates. Unfortunately, they came in the form of more past employees sharing their own negative experiences working with the Special singer. Read what others have been saying about Lizzo at the link below. Make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Uzi Vert Spotted Filming A New Music Video

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year Lil Uzi Vert dropped their new album Pink Tape. The project became the first rap album of 2023 to hit number 1 on the Billboard 200. It’s gone on to plant a number of songs in the hot 100 on top of its impressive debut. Uzi has been teasing new material for weeks. They’ve been working on a new project called Barter 16 which pays tribute to Young Thug. For the project, Uzi has been working with some of Young Thug’s frequent collaborators like London On Da Track and Birdman. Now, Uzi has a music video coming soon though what it’s for is uncertain.

A clip started making the rounds earlier today of Lil Uzi Vert shooting a new music video. The clip sees the rapper lit up with red lights while a song echoes through the walls around them. While it isn’t confirmed which song the video is for many fans in the comments have speculated. The leading theory is that it’s for the recently announced DJ Khaled single dropping tonight. The song features Uzi alongside Lil Baby and Future. It’s set to serve as the lead single for a new album called TIL NEXT TIME coming later this year.

Lil Uzi Vert Music Video In The Making

Lil Uzi Vert has stayed busy recently. In another clip that emerged recently, they were in the studio recording new music with Luh Tyler. They’re a fan of many younger artists including Yeat who developed a pretty close relationship with Uzi. In an interview with GQ Uzi said that when they left rehab Yeat was one of the first people to visit them and they immediately began recording music.

Uzi found themselves in some hot water recently after comparing Christianity to a cult. Uzi has often come under fire for various references to the occult with some even going as far as saying they’ve tried to conjure the devil. The doubling down in their comments surely won’t help with those who are already critics. What do you think about Lil Uzi Vert working on a new music video? Let us know in the comment section below.

Bobby Shmurda Goes Crazy At 50 Cent Concert

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bobby Shmurda and 50 Cent surprisingly have a close friendship than most people might realize. When Bobby was in prison for over six years for conspiracy to murder, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment, he credited 50 Cent as one that was actually looking to help bail him out. Hip Hop N’ More reported this back in 2017, during an interview with Bobby saying, “The only one who really contacted us was 50. Everyone else is just talk. They do it for the people. The only one that is real is 50.”

Furthermore, in an interview with us (HNHH) Shmurda revealed that he and 50 were in talks about landing him a role on one of his TV shows and it was all positive for Bobby. “Me and 50 were on a two-hour call like two weeks ago,” Bobby said. “Some talent agents I was talking to, they help 50 with Power and STARZ and all that other s**t. So you know he wants me to act, and they want me to act, so we just talking about a couple of shit right now.”

The Weeknd Displays Incredible Vocals: Video

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd, is a generational artist and that is largely in part because of his singing voice. It has led to him becoming the highest-streamed artist on Spotify with well over 100 million monthly listeners. He is also the first artist ever to eclipse triple digits. Furthermore, five songs have been played over one billion times (Blinding Lights, Starboy, Save Your Tears, Die For You, and The Hills). On all of these tracks, he is at his most passionate, whether it is singing about toxic relationships, profound love, or flaunting his wealth, he shows out.

Moreover, he puts the same emotion and effort into his live performances, which really cements him as one the greatest to ever do it. The Weeknd is currently on the second leg of his After Hours Til Dawn, which is running through Europe and Latin America. The Canadian’s most recent visit was in Madrid, and there is a clip on Instagram that is a must-watch. He was performing a hit from his 2020 album, After Hours. The title track “After Hours” is a heavenly six-minute listening experience and it was brought to life live.

In the Instagram video above from The Neighborhood Talk, The Weeknd is singing the part of the song right before it transitions to a different beat. However, he decides to hold the high-pitched singing for 15 seconds straight. It is hard to put into words how hard it is to do that. The fans went absolutely nuts for it and it is easy to see why.

What do you think about this video clip of The Weeknd? Do you consider him one of, if not the greatest singer of all time? Or, does The Weeknd rank lower for you on the list?

Action Bronson Gets A Little High During “Tiny Desk” Performance

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Action Bronson’s love of weed is no secret. He has spoken at length about it on many occasions. For example, he spoke with Variety a few years ago about the inspiration behind his New York Times best-selling book “Stoned Beyond Belief.” “I love overstimulation,” the Queens, New York rapper says. “This book is exactly what I wanted to project, how I feel every moment in my life.”

The laid-back star also believes that the psychoactive drug should be legalized for the masses. “I think it should be readily available for everybody. But the main goal is that it’s medicine and it’s there for one and all to enjoy and love, to be treated properly.” Most states are pushing to legalize weed, so his dream might come to fruition in the near future. In addition, he is similar to the greats like Notorious B.I.G., in that their creativity runs wild when on the herb.

Action “Stoned” Bronson: Video

“It grounds me,” he laughs. “I’m hyperactive and have all kinds of mental situations, and I feel like weed, this beautiful plant, broadens my outlook. Smoking hash all day broadens my outlook, it chills me out, it allows me to not get overanxious and to think faster.” Bronson proved his point by putting on a great Tiny Desk performance. Along with his band, Human Growth Hormone, he was able to keep his cool and rock the stage for a five-song half-hour show.

In true Bronson fashion, he admits, “I also want to let you know the edibles just hit and I’ve been pretty good so far. I’ve been holding my s**t together.” What are your overall thoughts on Action Bronson’s trippy performance for NPR‘s Tiny Desk? Did you know about Action’s passion for cannabis? Why do you think most rappers work more creatively when they are high? Be sure to tell us all of your thoughts in the comments section below. Keep it locked with HNHH for all news around music.

Akademiks Tempts Fate, Calls Erykah Badu “Ran Through”: Watch

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Akademiks’ name is running wild through the news cycle today (August 9) for a multitude of reasons. There’s the confirmation that Tory Lanez leaked information about his shooting trial with Megan Thee Stallion from a judge at sentencing yesterday. We’ve also seen his hateful comments about a number of women in the music industry. To the “Cash S**t” hitmaker, Ak urged her to hit him with a lawsuit. Elsewhere, he’s been throwing shade at Erykah Badu. Of course, she’s been known to cause her haters a great deal of karmic retribution in the past.

While streaming on Rumble, the Off the Record host came across a comment encouraging “The Healer” to “work [her] magic” on Akademiks after news of the Lanez leak went public. As HipHopDX notes, the embattled media personality was obviously triggered by the discourse. He quickly turned his attention to finding flaws in Badu. “I never f**ked with Erykah Badu after she was tryna come on my show and be funny,” Ak ranted after reminding us of the time she compared him to a Tom & Jerry character in 2017.

Akademiks’ Next Victim? Erykah Badu

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“B**ch, I don’t f**k with you after that. Ni**a, wassup now? What we finna do? B**ch, you a old-a** h*e, just keep getting f**ked by all these young ni**as,” he continued. “How many rappers done ran through you?” Ak then asked, seemingly referencing Badu’s former romances with The D.O.C., Common, Jay Electronica, and Andre 3000. Afterward, he even went so far as to accuse the 52-year-old of attempting to hook up with the late XXXTENTACION.

Akademiks’ wrath doesn’t stop there. Earlier this month, he lashed out at Chloe Bailey over her sultry cover of Gunna’s “fukumean.” As you may recall, the R&B vocalist was romantically linked to the YSL artist before his RICO arrest last spring, and Ak doesn’t approve of Bailey’s attempt to slide back into his life now that he’s back with a hot new album. Read everything the podcaster had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Baby Wipes Players In Dice Game: Video

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is at the top in many things. Being crowned as a top-tier rapper in hip-hop, donating back to charity, and also being a casino master. Granted, he might not be facing some experts in the space, but a win is a win at the end of the day. Last year, the Atlanta superstar rapper cashed in when he visited a Las Vegas casino and left $1 million richer than when he arrived. He was able to help out his boys when he won, splitting the spoils with his boys.

Additionally, it was rumored that the amount he gave his friends was in the ballpark of at least $10,000 each. The MC spoke on Twitter about the victory and he thinks it is more than winning. “They know I won $ but what they don’t know is I ain’t out here balling, I’m investing.” Now, he is back at it again, this time with a dice game. There is a video that is making its way around social media, especially Twitter. The Atlanta-based rapper met some fans and challenged them to a dice game.

Lil Baby Destroys The Competition

The clip was posted on August 7, as the “Freestyle” rapper and frequent collaborator, Rylo Rodriguez, squared off with some locals. Baby, the go-getter he is, tried to convince his opponents to put up $10,000. As expected, no one was able to match him. Hilariously, Baby stated clearly, “It cost $10,000 to talk to me.” However, he allowed them to buy in for $5,000 and then he said, “Put your watch down.”

Baby cleaned up his competition with ease, and now we want to know, what are your thoughts on the video? How often do you think Lil Baby goes to the casino or plays games from the casino? Do you enjoy going to the casino? Be sure to tell us all of your thoughts in the comments section below. Additionally, keep HNHH as your main source for all the news surrounding the music industry.

Yo Gotti Praised For Answering Angela Simmons’ Call Mid-Interview

August 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Angela Simmons has long been the object of Yo Gotti’s affection. Now that he’s finally lucky enough to call the black-haired beauty his girlfriend, there’s no way he’ll risk losing her. The pair have spent much of their summer travelling around the globe and posing for photos in beautiful locations like Greece and Dubai. Even when they’re not in each other’s company due to their busy schedules, Angela and her rapper beau manage to stay connected throughout the day.

During a recent interview with Power 106‘s Justin Credible, Gotti was answering questions when he noticed an incoming call that he couldn’t help but pick up. “Do you wanna take that?” the host asked as the Southern star paused mid-sentence. “Yeah,” he replied before letting Simmons know that he’s in the midst of a work obligation. Though the lovers’ interaction was short and not particularly loving, the smile on Gotti’s face afterward proves that even just hearing from his girl brightens his day.

“That was shorty,” he told Justin. “I wanted to say hi,” the radio personality admitted nervously. “You should’ve,” the 42-year-old teased his friend before they agreed to call Simmons back. “Yo, my boy Justin Credible interviewing me and wanted to speak to you,” Yo tells his girl. “I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself, definitely a fan,” the Power 106 icon gushed to Gotti’s other half.

Gotti first professed his adorating for Angela Simmons on “Down in the DM” nearly a decade ago. On his most recent project, a Gangsta Grillz sequel, the CMG head once again showed love to the shoe designer – now his girlfriend – in both a song and music video.
