Wiz Khalifa Drops A Weed Smoker’s Dream Track “Hit It Once”

December 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the kings of vibe in the hip-hop genre is back this weekend. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania rapper Wiz Khalifa is here with “Hit It Once,” a new single from his upcoming Kush + Orange Juice 2 project. Of course, this will be the official sequel to his wildly popular 2010 mixtape of the same name. As you all are aware by know, outside of Snoop Dogg, there really isn’t anyone who is more of weed connoisseur than Wiz. It’s been his brand since coming out back in during the last decade and it’s propelled him to an incredible amount of success.

So, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! That’s the formula for “Hit It Once,” although there is a fun adjustment to it this time through. Here, Wiz Khalifa embraces the reggae sounds to create a truly immersive and intoxicating listening experience. He does have two pretty substantial verses on the track. However, they still get lost in the very woozy, pleasant, and calm instrumental and we mean that in the best way. This truly is one of the most vibe-heavy singles all year long. So far, this is the fourth promotional release from Kush + Orange Juice 2. From what we know, it should be a stacked project, with Don Toliver and Smoke DZA already in the fold, including tons of big-ticket producers like Lex Luger, Ty Dolla $ign, Cardo, and more.

“Hit It Once” – Wiz Khalifa

Quotable Lyrics:

Open shirt showing my precious metals
Sometimes I roll a joint so long, it look like two together
They’ll probably say it’s cool to smoke, I’m taking full advantage
I’m filling joints like you do at campus
I’m taking off, hit you when I’m landing
She got the weed rolled, it’s in the candles (Ooh)

Jay-Z’s Luxury Weed Brand In Reported Dire Financial Straits

December 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Millionaires and billionaires are not going to flawlessly exceed at everything they put their minds to. You can tie that fact to Jay-Z, one of hip-hop’s most successful entrepreneurs. According to HipHopNMore and SFGate, his luxury weed company, Monogram, is in serious peril financially speaking. Hov launched the brand in 2020 and was named the brand’s Chief Brand Strategist. The California-based cannabis supplier was kickstarted in a big and flashy way. Magazines like GQ, Vogue, and Vanity Fair featuring it front and center really helped get the word out.

Moreover, some of the debut promotion included a lavish photoshoot at the Frank Sinatra house in Palm Springs helped get this target audience established pretty quickly. But it turns out that that over $500 million investment was a mistake on the part of its overseer, The Parent Company (ironic name). Both outlets have gathered that Monogram was supposed to make around $300 million in its inaugural year.

Will Jay-Z Have To Shut Down Monogram’s Operations?

However, Jay-Z and his partners were nowhere near that mark. In fact, TPCO had a net loss of $587 million. Obviously, they had to move on from the New York rapping legend’s project. They did, and Gold Flora decided to give Jay-Z a chance. However, that also backfired, as the newer parent company was also struggling mightily. They were also losing return on their investment, losing around $56 million.

Additionally, Gold Flora’s debts were well over their assets at $60 million. Since Monogram’s inception, they have accused of smuggling, allegedly failing to pay invoices, as well as allegedly owing a weed farm around $200,000. Overall, Monogram’s faults were expected by those in the cannabis industry. Seth Yakatan, an investor in this field, told SFGate that general reviews are uninspiring. “Monogram was supposed to be an ultra-premium product, and I don’t know anyone who tried it and thought it was anything more than mid-tier.”

Chrisean Rock Admitted To Keeping A Pound Of Weed In Her Car During Arrest

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New details are emerging regarding Chrisean Rock’s 2022 Oklahoma arrest, which is what led to her current legal situation. For those unaware, she faces up to eight years in prison in her drug case, and local Oklahoma news outlet KJRH has provided some more alleged information about the bust on Thursday (August 29). Moreover, for context, authorities extradited the Baddies star from Los Angeles to Oklahoma this June on charges of failing to affix a tax stamp on controlled dangerous substances and possession of controlled dangerous substances with intent to distribute. She’s currently in the Craig County Detention Center, awaiting the next update in her case.

Back to these new alleged details, though, Oklahoma police reportedly pulled Chrisean Rock over in February of 2022. She was in the passenger seat of a car they stopped due to not paying a toll, and they alleged smelled marijuana when they searched the vehicle. According to law enforcement, the rapper and social media personality admitted that a pound of weed that officers found was hers. Her next court date will take place on September 27 according to the current schedule.

Elsewhere, Chrisean Rock’s volatile on-and-off-again boo Blueface is facing his own legal issues, and recently spoke on their current relationship. “I don’t know, that’s a tough one,” he answered a question from DJ Hed and Gina Views about whether they would make another season of their Crazy In Love reality TV show during an exclusive phone interview on Effective Immediately. “Me and Rock, we vibing right now, but you know. When that fitness get involved, you know it might get a little weary.” Furthermore, the L.A. MC shared that they “stay on a three-way” and expressed his belief that Rock will be just fine in her case.

Meanwhile, this is what Chrisean Rock had to say for fans during her jail stint. “I’m using this time to heal,” she told social media. “Healing from a lot of s**t. A lot of stuff I be telling y’all, but I don’t be telling y’all everything. I’ma be out and I’ma be better. I can’t wait to drop my song for y’all. I can’t wait to be a better Rock.”

Sexyy Red Admits Smelling Like Weed Got Her Turned Away From Local High School

April 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red tried to give back to her fans earlier this week, but unfortunately, one major roadblock stood in her way. The “Pound Town” performer took to social media recently to reveal that she was turned away from a high school in her hometown of St. Louis. According to her, she was planning to speak to some lucky students but wasn’t allowed in because she smelled like weed.

Yesterday (April 3), Sexyy Red was active on her Instagram Story, sharing fun clips of herself outside of the school. Sadly, the fun ended there, as she later ranted about being denied entry. “So look so this school I came up here, got cute. Tried to talk to the kids give em the word of the day… And they gonna put me off tell me I smell like weed,” she says in a clip. “B*tch you’re nobody, they ain’t come to see you Otis! B*tch, you heard who they’re screaming for.”

Sexyy Red “Got Cute” For Nothing

Luckily, there were plenty of college-aged fans willing to give her a warm welcome. Shortly after being turned away from the high school, she cruised around the entrance of Harris Stowe State University. This isn’t the first time Sexyy Red’s antics proved to be too much for her teenage audience, however. Over the summer, a clip of the “SkeeYee” rapper entering a high school gymnasium, and being met by countless screaming students, sparked uproar. Social media users agreed that her music is far too raunchy for kids, and slammed the MC for the visit.

According to her, however, she was simply there to donate to the students’ prom and didn’t actually perform. What do you think of Sexyy Red getting turned away from a St. Louis high school because she smelled like weed? Do you think they should have let her in regardless? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kid Cudi Leaves Fans Confused After Reverting Back To This Bad Habit To Cut Back On Weed

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi has been extremely vocal on social media over the past few months. Just yesterday, the Cleveland rapper and singer was tantalizing his Twitter followers with a possible sequel to one of his earlier works, Indicud. He said he was intrigued by the idea, so much so in fact, that he decided to revisit it for the first time in a while. Furthermore, he has just announced his worldwide tour for his two recent projects INSANO and INSANO (NITRO MEGA). He is not going alone though, as Pusha T and EARTHGANG will be joining him for this expedition. While fans have a lot to be amped for, Kid Cudi also has some fans worried after revealing he is back to smoking cigarettes.

Hours ago, Scott Mescudi posted a short video of him greeting fans at the Yves Saint Laurent’s Men’s Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show in Paris. However, that is not what was drawing people’s attention. In the caption, Cudi revealed that he has been trying to ease up on the weed. But, he is not going about it in the most conventional way. “P.S… just started smokin again a couple months ago. I dont plan on keepin this up for too much longer. I just smoke cigarettes cuz it helps me cut back on tree dont worry!! In the video, you can see Kid Cudi with a cigarette in his mouth and fans are a little puzzled.

Fans Don’t Really Agree With Cudi’s Thinking

A post shared by Willis (@kidcudi)

One person writes, “I ratha him smoke weed then the cigs, still love you ” Another agrees, saying, “Nicotine instead of weed? Come on cud.” Another reason why it is a head-scratching solution is because of how bad his addiction to cigarettes was over a decade ago. According to HipHopDX, he quit them in 2009 after suffering from bronchitis. It got so serious, that Cudi “was literally on [his] death bed. I was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna stop smoking Newports right now.’ It was a wake-up call, I’d been smoking cigarettes for seven years.”

What are your thoughts on Kid Cudi going back to smoking cigarettes to cut back on smoking weed? Do you agree or disagree with his method? Could you see him getting addicted to them again even though he was on his “death bed?” We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kid Cudi. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

Ari Lennox Recalls Being Hospitalized After Getting Too High

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that weed can be fun to use recreationally, and even to alleviate symptoms of certain medical conditions. Needless to say, however, it has far from the same positive effect on everybody. Ari Lennox, for example, recently shared one of her own experiences with marijuana, revealing that it put her in the hospital.

During a recent Instagram Live, the songstress opened up with viewers about how she’s considering trying weed again. She noted that she has some reservations, particularly considering her past. “I don’t even smoke weed, but y’all honestly, it’s about time I start,” she began. “No, I ain’t gonna start. My thing is, if I start smoking, is it going to open up the gateway to wanting to drink again?”

Fear of running back to alcohol isn’t the only thing holding Lennox back, however. She went on to detail a time when an innocent couple of puffs turned into a hospital visit. “Years ago,” she described. “I had some weed. I was trying out for American Idol, and I didn’t get it. My cousin was hanging out with his friend and his friend was like ‘Try this weed.’” Lennox continued, detailing how things went south almost immediately.

“The room started f*cking spinning,” she explained. “I just kept f*cking disintegrating and I felt like there was f*cking spiders, there was f*cking spiders taking over my whole […] body.” At some point in the evening, police arrived and whisked Lennox away to a hospital. “They f*cking hooked me up to them goddamn machines… I was just crying and screaming,” she recalled. Fans can’t blame Lennox for refraining from weed after that, and can agree that based on her experience, she’s probably better off without it. What do you think of Ari Lennox sharing her frightening experience with weed? Do you think she should start smoking it again?

Snoop Dogg Recalls Annoying Michael Jackson With His Weed Smoke

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Snoop Dogg loves to smoke pot, but according to him, it doesn’t always sit right with his celebrity friends. During a recent interview with Andy Cohen, he opened up about his relationship with Michael Jackson, recalling a weed-related incident that didn’t go over so well with the King of Pop. Luckily, he says the two of them were like family, so it’s safe to say MJ didn’t hold it against him for too long.

“Me and Mike was family,” he recalled. “His family and my family love each other. We have a record that never came out together. We never had issues… Only issue me and Mike had was we was at, what was that thing? Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier. He had an event in Vegas where they have all the clothes and all of that, so he had performers.”

MJ Told Snoop, “Don’t Do That”

He went on, noting how one oversight was the positioning of his and MJ’s dressing rooms. “He had Michael Jackson perform, Snoop Dogg perform, but where he messed up, he put Michael Jackson’s dressing room right next to Snoop Dogg, so Snoop Dogg is there doing this,” he said, lighting a blunt. “Mm-hmm, and they like, ‘You know, Michael Jackson’s dressing room is next door.’ I’m like, ‘No it ain’t.’ They like, ‘Yeah, [right] there,’ so I’m like, ‘Hold on.’ Open the door.’” He said from there, he exhaled a ton of weed smoke out of the door, but quickly realized that Jackson was right in front of him. “Yeah. He’s right there looking at me. He said, ‘Snoop, don’t do that,’” he recalled in MJ’s tone.

During the interview, Snoop Dogg also revealed that he and Jackson have an unreleased collab somewhere in the archives, though he isn’t sure who has it these days. What do you think of Snoop Dogg’s claim that his weed smoke annoyed Michael Jackson? Are you surprised?

How Much Weed Does Snoop Dogg Smoke Per Day?

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ask your parents (heck, even your grandparents) to say one thing they know about Snoop Dogg, and they’ll probably mention that he smokes a lot of weed. The question, though, is how much?

How Much Weed Does Snoop Dogg Smoke Per Day?

The answer has a bit of history to it.

In a 2013 Q&A on Twitter (now X), Snoop said that he smokes 81 blunts in a day.

81 in a day – do tha math ! #snoopchat RT: @KaylaBradley1 How many blunts do you smoke in one hour? @SnoopDogg #snoopchat

— Snoop Dogg (@SnoopDogg) May 8, 2013

In 2022, Snoop’s personal blunt roller (that’s a thing, yes) backed up that number: In an interview, she was asked how many joints she has rolled for the rapper since working for him and she answered, “I calculate it at over 450,000. I do about half a pound a day, which is 75 to 150 joints.”

However, Snoop refuted that claim shortly after. In a video shared on Instagram, Snoop said, “B*tch said I smoke 450,000… b*tch, this is all in a day’s work. Stop lyin’. [How the] f*ck am I gonna smoke all that weed in one day? What am I, a f*ckin’ machine? B*tch, this is the roaches. See? Roaches.” In frame was a pile of ten roaches.

So, it might be the case that while the lofty numbers used to be true, Snoop has perhaps toned down his usage in recent years and is closer to ten blunts per day.

Meek Mill Announces New Weed Strain, Leaves Fans Confused

January 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill recently took to social media to reveal that he’s launching a new weed strain to go along with his latest project, leaving fans slightly confused. Only a few months back, the Philly-born performer announced plans to quit smoking altogether, joining Snoop Dogg. Snoop’s sobriety declaration turned out to be a ruse, but Meek Mill seemed pretty serious about his claims, even citing his mental and physical health issues.

“Ima go to Dubai and completely stop smoking,” he Tweeted in November. “Ima follow snoop, my doctor said I got a lil bit emphysema in a chest if I don’t stop smoking it cuts my lifeline in half. I was addicted to the nicotine and this new weed got too many chemicals and too risky to play with my mental!”

Meek Mill Previously Said He Was Quitting

It’s unclear whether or not Meek Mill plans to keep smoking, or if he just developed the new weed strain for others to enjoy. Either way, fans are looking forward to giving the strain a try. “Of course I’m starting a weed strand to go along with the new album!” he captioned his latest Instagram photo, which shows him posing at a dispensary in a fuzzy green and white jacket. “I thought you stopped smoking wit snoop,” one confused fan comments. “I think this what they been waiting for lol,” another writes.

Aside from marijuana and music, Meek Mill has also been working on probation reform, recently celebrating a new bill passed in his home state of Pennsylvania. The bill aims to reduce recidivism, making probation restrictions easier to follow so that fewer people get incarcerated for violating them. “My experience on probation reflected millions of other stories that go unheard,” he shared in a statement. “It’s an honor and a blessing to see this change come to my home state.” What do you think of Meek Mill launching a weed strain? Will you be giving it a try? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
