Lil Yachty Revives A Classic McDonald’s Anthem In New Ad For The Restaurant

April 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

McDonald’s is no stranger to celebrity cameos and collaborations and that includes musicians. Often that comes through their own custom celebrity meals, of which they’ve done multiple. K-pop group BTS, reggaeton singer J Balvin and subsequently pop icon Mariah Carey have all lent their names to specific meals from the restaurant. The rap world is also well represented with Travis Scott, Saweetie, and Cardi B having collaborated in the past.

But in their new advertisement, they’re taking the hip-hop collaboration in a much more literal direction. For a new commercial in Canada, where McDonald’s is celebrating their new remix menu, they got Lil Yachty to do a remix of his own. In the ad he delivers an updated version of the classic “Menu Song” from advertisements the restaurant aired in the 80s. Yachty in particular feels like the perfect choice for the collab, as he’s spoken in the past about working for McDonald’s as a teenager. Take a look at the full remix he delivered below.

Lil Yachty Steals The Show In New McDonald’s Advertisement

Over the weekend, Lil Yachty flirted with creating controversy. He shared a video explaining why he thinks some rappers are so angry, and they might have been offended by it if it wasn’t so funny. Yachty claims that the simple reasons some rappers are so angry is that “they’re ugly.” The hilarious clip made the rounds online and didn’t seem to cause too much trouble for the rapper.

Yachty has been working with a ton of young up and coming artists recently. He recently formed his own label, Concrete Rekordz. Additionally the project already has multiple signees who have dropped a few songs as “Concrete Boys. “ There’s also a label compilation album from Concrete Boys releasing in just a few days. What do you think of Lil Yachty’s new McDonald’s advertisement? Do you think it’s impressive that he went from working at McDonald’s to collaborating with the restaurant?

DJ Khaled’s Former South Florida Mansion For Sale For $16.4 Million

March 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A famous piece of DJ Khaled lore is about to be owned by someone else. The DJ and producer’s former Florida mansion for sale for $16.39 million. Though fans likely aren’t going to have that kind of cash lying around, there is one particular reason why the sale is relevant. The mansion includes Khaled’s famous sneaker room, a 1000 square foot room dedicated to his shoes that he famously rented out as an Air BNB a few years ago. Check out an intimate look at the entire mansion below.

Much of the discussion surrounding DJ Khaled recently has been related to his silence on Palestine. He’s arguably one of the biggest celebrities on Earth of Palestinian dissent and many have taken issue with his outright refusal to make much of any statement on the ongoing conflict there. The most recent to call him out was D.L. Hughley earlier this month though he’s far from the first. Last month even one of Khaled’s own cousins went public with their issues on his silence.

DJ Khaled Mansion Containing His Shoe Room Is For Sale

Additionally, there’s been a string of silly videos taking up a lot of the DJ Khaled news cycle. The most recent came last month when he shared a behind-the-scenes look at the lead-up to a performance. One particular clip featured his security carrying him out of his car so he didn’t have to put his sneakers on the sandy ground.

That came just a few weeks after another video of Khaled had fans cracking up. In that clip he’s going on a joyride in a golf cart that gets hilariously interrupted by a cop on a motorcycle. It’s unclear if Khaled was subsequently hit with any kind of fine or ticket for his golf cart driving abilities. What do you think of DJ Khaled’s former mansion with his elaborate shoe room being sold? Does $16.4 million seem like a fair price for the property? Let us know in the comment section below.

NBA YoungBoy Has Fans Scratching Their Heads With New Single “Catch Him”

March 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy has been the subject of a lot of ridicule throughout his expansive career. At just 24 years old, the Louisiana product has well over 20 albums/mixtapes. All of that has been accomplished in just about eight years as well. It has led to a lot of debates on whether the quality is equal to the quantity. In this case, “Catch Him” is not making a good case for NBA YoungBoy.

Like most of his releases, especially as of late, YB has put the single on YouTube only. And once again, the track is already receiving a ton of views, with well over 400,000 in its first 17 hours. However, fans in his Instagram comments underneath his two latest posts about “Catch Him” have not been glowing. One person writes, “N**** must have gotten cloned bc this definitely not hitting I can’t be the only one ” Another chimes in, “Nah man you starting to lose me.”

Listen To “Catch Him” By NBA YoungBoy

We can see why a majority of people are feeling this type of way about it. NBA YoungBoy’s voice is way too overpowering in the mix and his cadence is all over the place. When you get to around the 40 second mark of the record you will see what we mean by that. The flows are also way off beat, and they are not pleasant to the ears. Hopefully, his next project to follow, I Just Got A Lot On My Shoulders, will be something the fans can enjoy.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Catch Him,” by NBA YoungBoy? Do you agree with the fans that this song is not good, why or why not? Are your favorite artists ones that drop more, or drop less and why? Do you think NBA has fallen off? 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 NBA YoungBoy. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

All these guns ’round this b****, all I know is redrum
All this money around this b****, I just know to buy me somethin’
We’ll shoot that stick at you and your clique
N****, motherf*** ’bout where you from
N****, I’m with 6 and I’m out that North, you know exactly how I come
Bullets flyin’ back to back, bang bang, knock you somethin’

But, I don’t [make] music like that,” she explained. “I sound kinda stupid trying to sing like that. I sound stupid trying to make music like that. So, if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song…I know she’s going to like it.’ I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the f*ck is this sh*t? Take this thing out of my face.’”

Bad Bunny Drops Hefty Lawsuit On Fan For Posting Long-Form Videos From “Most Wanted Tour”: Report

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans undying support for their favorite artists is great for the music business. However, there is no denying that it has also its cons, like everything else. Case and point, Bad Bunny’s recent run-in with a fan who took posting videos a little too far. According to multiple reports, including TMZ, say that the Puerto Rican superstar is sending a lawsuit toward a man by the name of Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone. He runs a YouTube channel called MADforliveMUSIC which posts all sorts of high-quality videos from concerts from tons of artists. However, Bad Bunny is not too fond of people being able to see his shows for free so he is dropping a lawsuit on the fan.

The hitmaker claims that Eric went to his Salt Lake City, Utah show in late February and filmed several videos from that tour stop. That would be his Most Wanted Tour, which is for his most recent record nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana. The reason why Bunny is suing him is because he says he owns the rights to the live performance music.

The Culprit Gave Fans A Birds-Eye View Of Bad Bunny’s Orchestral Show

Bunny feels that he is doing this to draw more attention off of his name, stealing revenue in the process. However, his attempts at issuing standard takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act did not go as planned. All of the videos, including this one above, are back up on the page due to a counterclaim filed by Eric. Finally, to try and settle this for good Bunny is trying to get an injunction. That would stop the fan completely from uploading any more long-form content. Even worse for the videographer, the multi-talent is looking for $150,000 for each video, or any actual damages Bad Bunny can show he suffered from the postings.

What are your thoughts on Bad Bunny suing a fan for uploading lengthy videos from his Most Wanted Tour? How do you think this will eventually all play out? What is your opinion on people posting videos from concerts online and why? 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 Bad Bunny. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the worlds of music and crime.

Steve Stoute Blasted By Fans For Claiming He Started Hip-Hop Shoe Collabs

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Steve Stoute has been making news all week for comments he made on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast. He made a variety of claims that had both fans and fellow celebrities asking questions. But one particular trend he took credit for was the crossover between rap and shoes. “Started that. Everybody knows that. That’s me. That’s called, ‘Corporate America, I’m going to introduce you to this thing called Hip Hop. And the music, and the culture, and everything that it represents can help you,” he said.

But fans online disagreed with his take. Under a repost of the clip on Twitter, fans hit back at him and they brought receipts. “It is well documented that Run-D.M.C. signed hip-hop’s first sneaker contract in 1987 when they partnered with Adidas in a deal worth $1.6 million,” one response reads. Another commenter gave additional examples. “He definitely has selective amnesia… RUN-DMC started it. Then LL Cool got his sneaker deal with TROOP. I really wish people STOP trying to change/erase Hip Hop HISTORY!!!” Check out the full interview Stoute gave on Club Shay Shay below.

Steve Stoute Called Out By Run DMC Fans

One of the comments Steve Stoute made that got the attention of fans had to do with Dame Dash. He claimed to know the reason for his creative split from Jay-Z and cited Dame’s ego making him hard to work with. Dame didn’t just sit back and take the comments. Instead, he went to social media to respond to them and claim that he would have beaten Stoute up if he hadn’t matured.

He spoke even more about Jay-Z later in the interview. He even claimed that Jay is his cousin and discussed how close their bond remains. What do you think of Steve Stoute’s claim that he pioneered shoe deals among rappers? Do you think the fans bringing up Run DMC in the comments have a valid point? Let us know in the comment section below.

Offset Reveals Just How Sweet Whitney Houston Was When He Danced In Her Music Video

March 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

These days it would be pretty hard to not notice Offset appearing in something. The rapper rose to prominence as a member of Atlanta hip hop trio Migos around a decade ago and hasn’t left the public view since. Last year he released his new album Set It Off which did impressive numbers. It spawned hits like “SAY MY GRACE” with Travis Scott and “JEALOUSY” with Cardi B.

But during a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Offset recalled a time before he was famous. He told the story of his mother seeing a billboard advertising auditions for a Whitney Houston music video. I pulled up. I remember my mama told I’ll never forget, ‘When the music come on, just go out there and do your thing. I was smaller than everybody. Everybody was 11 or something, and I was like 8. Then I did it,” he begins. Clearly something about his dancing impressed Houston. “I remember she came from the back and pointed me out. When we shot the video, she was just a nice, sweet soul. Bobby Brown was cool too. He was making us laugh. He was cool. Yeah, both of them. I got a lot of cameos too,” he revealed. Check out the music video that a young Offset danced in below.

Offset Talks Meeting Whitney Houston

After a few months of questions about their relationship, Cardi B and Offset seem to be righting the ship. Things started back in December when when fans noticed they had unfollowed each other on Instagram. But Cardi just released her new single “Like What” last week. The Migos rapper served as the director of the music video attached to the song, which fans had a variety of reactions to.

What do you think of Offset appearing in a Whitney Houston music video before he was famous? Are you surprised to hear that he was a childhood dancer before becoming a successful rapper? Let us know in the comment section below.
