Vanilla Ice Reflects On Dating Madonna And Her Sharing Their Intimate Photos Publicly

by

Vanilla Ice is already multiple parts deep into his series of Vlad TV interviews and he’s already revealed a ton of interesting information. He’s discussed stories of his dramatic rise to fame including astonishing highs and paralyzing lows. In the newest interview part he discussed one of the most talked about moments of his entire career. He stunned music fans in the 90s when he got into a relationship with legendary pop sensation Madonna.

Madonna is 10 years older than Vanilla Ice and when the pair met she was 30 while he was just 20. They met during one of the rapper’s performances at Madison Square Garden and he noted that she danced throughout his entire performance. From there things developed into a romance, until the moment that most people remember from the pair’s time together. Madonna released a photobook that included NSFW pictures of the pair, something that didn’t sit right with Ice. That eventually led to their breakup, though he was sure to clarify that he still respects her and appreciated their time together. Check out the full interview where he shares all of those details below.

He also revealed that he knows “too much” about Pac’s eventual murder and that he’s glad it’s finally being more thoroughly investigated.

Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Reaction Videos Subject To Copyright Claims After All

by

Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef was the talk of the rap for for over a month. From the weeks long waits between the first fee tracks to the remining being lit off in rapid fire succession, everyone in the rap world was on the edge of their seat waiting to dissect the latest developments. That includes YouTube channels posting their reactions to the songs as they were released. Diss tracks are particularly good for that medium as the fan interest is high and the ability to go through the song one lyric at a time breaking it down works perfectly.

It was initially reported that YouTubers would be able to keep the money they made from the reaction videos. Multiple YouTubers shared that they would be able to keep the revenue from their reaction videos while the beef was still going on. But now, conflicting reports are coming out about the videos copyright eligibility. In a post shared by djakademikstv a twitter user asks rapper and YouTuber Scru Face Jean if the Kendrick diss track videos are being copyright claimed. He confirms that it is true that the videos have been hit with copyright strikes and the revenue made off of them claimed. Check out the interaction and some of the fan reactions to it below.

Nearly every song from the beef has gone on to have major commercial success. “Like That” led the way debuting at the top spot on the Hot 100 and spending three weeks there. That success could eventually be dwarfed by “Not Like Us. “ That song also debuted at the top spot on the singles chart. The track is still hovering in the top five of the Hot 100. It’s been billed by many as one of the potential songs of the summer.

What do you think of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track reaction videos being hit with copyright strikes? Do you think Kendrick himself had anything to do with the choice over whether or not to monetize them? Let us know in the comment section below.

03 Greedo Delivers His Signature Crooning On “Fine China”

by

Watts, California rapper and singer 03 Greedo definitely deserves more respect than he is already receiving. Some might find his rap style sleepy or too inaudible at times. However, to us, he gives off early Young Thug vibes. When Thugger was coming up in the early 2010s, at lot hip-hop heads were not taking a liking to his then unorthodox approach. However, over the course of his career, he is become of the most influential figures of the modern era. Greedo will probably never get the same love as the Georgia native. But he is definitely a pioneer of the rapping/singing delivery in our eyes. Helping the veteran is his consistency, as he always has some project or single ready to go.

Just several hours ago, 03 Greedo released another loosie to Soundcloud and YouTube called “Fine China”, continuing his hot streak. His versatile style has lent his talents to some fire collaborations this year. He most recently and surprisingly appeared on Mach-Hommy’s latest record #RICHAXXHAITIAN on the title song and it is a summer bop. Additionally, he got into his more aggressive bag on Maxo Kream’s single “R.I.C.O”.

Listen To “Fine China” By 03 Greedo

On “Fine China” though, Greedo is back to his melodic ways. He rides a well-mixed piano-backed instrumental, along with some skittering drum patterns. With so many mainstream artists dropping big projects and singles this year, 03 is getting lost in the shuffle for most. But we are here to showcase what he has been doing all year long.

What are your thoughts on “Fine China” by 03 Greedo? Is this one of his best songs of 2024, why or why not? Do you think he is dropping a new album sometime this year? What is your favorite aspect of the track? 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 03 Greedo. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Nas Calls Ghostface Killah His Favorite Rapper While Performing Alongside Him

by

Over the weekend, numerous major hip-hop events took place. While Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam seemed plagued with controversies, The Root Picnic appears to have mostly gone off without a hitch. Saturday night Nas served as the festival headliner and he didn’t disappoint with his set. As you’d expect, he had a few guests out during the show and one of the is particularly noteworthy to the “NY State Of Mind” rapper.

Nas was joined on stage by Wu-Tang Clan rapper and fellow New York legend Ghostface Killah. The pair performed “Verbal Intercourse” and Ghostface unpacked “Cherchez La Ghost,” “Ice Cream,” and “C.R.E.A.M.” During his performance, Nas hit him with some pretty high praise. “That’s my fucking favorite rapper right there,” he said to the crowd while embracing Ghostface. The trio later posed for pictures with Beanie Sigel after he was also brought out on stage as a guest. Check out a video of the pair coming out on stage as guests below.

Nas Claims Ghostface Killah Is His Favorite Rapper

Last year, Nas wrapped up an impressively prolific and acclaimed 4 year period of his career. He and Hit-Boy teamed up for six total albums split across two trilogies. The King’s Disease trilogy concluded in 2022 followed by the release of Magic 2 and Magic 3 last year. He’s continued to promote the records releasing multiple videos for deep cuts from both albums since they dropped. Nas was tapped by some as a potential recipient of the key to New York City if it was formally rescinded from Diddy. The rap mogul received the key last year but has been mired in controversy ever since. Calls for his key to be rescinded increased after video leaked of him allegedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel the pair were staying at together.

What do you think of Nas claiming that Ghostface Killah is his favorite rapper while having him on stage during the Roots Picnic? Do you want to see the pair of New York legends collaborate again going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.

Charlamagne Tha God Reveals He Has A Plan For Eventually Leaving “The Breakfast Club”

by

For almost 15 years now, fans of The Breakfast Club have been able to tune into the show and hear Charlamagne Tha God serving as host. It doesn’t seem like he’ll be done any time soon but that doesn’t mean he’s avoiding the conversation about what’s next for him. Recently he was asked about it on the Flagrant podcast, where he made it clear it wasn’t the first time he’d thought about his future. Though he couldn’t give fans a concrete answer on how much time he has left, he seems to have a general idea himself.

“I personally have a number. Not even Breakfast Club, but just being a talent period. Not a financial number,” Charlamagne says over two hours into the podcast episode. For fans wondering what’s next, it appears to be a shift to a more behind the scenes role. “I like being behind the scenes a lot more nowadays. Empowering other people, watching people get their shit off, watching other people become these great entities that people love and fuck with,” he elaborated. Check out the full podcast where he discussed his future with the show below.

Charlamagne Tha God is no stranger to speaking his mind and he does so throughout his appearance on Flagrant. In another moment that fans have been breaking down online he talks about Kanye West in 2024. He thinks back on how West tried to insert himself in the middle of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drake’s beef. He took to social media with a post aiming at all three of them. But Charlamagne claims that everyone forgot that even happened as so few people care about West’s actual music in 2024.

What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God claiming that he has “a number” that will determine when he moves on from The Breakfast Club? Are you looking forward to whatever he does behind the scenes once his time on the show ends? Let us know in the comment section below.

G-Eazy Responds To Fans Claiming He Fell Off

by

G-Eazy is no stranger to receiving hate from rap fans online. Despite the hate he’s been a commercially successful. As he notes in a recent appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, he went on a pretty high-selling run of albums. 2014’s These Things Happen, 2015’s When It’s Dark Out, and 2017’s The Beautiful & The Damned all went on to reach platinum status. “We had a great run, three albums in a row went platinum. Then my mom died. And COVID, my mom passing, I just finally was like, ‘I need to reset,’” the “Me, Myself & I” rapper explains.

He returned with a new album called These Things Happen Too in 2021, but it didn’t reach nearly the same level of commercial success. As he explains in the podcast, he always knew that would be a possibility. “I needed to finally give myself a break and take some pressure off of the cycle of releasing music. And that comes at a risk,” he claims. “Then I’m reading the comments… ‘Damn, he fell off.’ I should not have done this, don’t ever Google yourself. One of the top suggested was ‘Is G-Eazy still making music?’ I was just like, ‘F*ck y’all! F*ck y’all!’” he concluded. Check out the full podcast episode below.

G-Eazy Calls Out Fans Saying He Fell Off

Though G-Eazy hasn’t released a new album in three years he’s dropped a few singles in 2024 already. He confirmed elsewhere in the podcast that his next album would be called Freak Show. He’s confirmed that both the singles he dropped this year will appear on the album. The first was “Femme Fatale” which featured guest verses from Coi Leray and Kaliii. That was followed a few weeks later by the third song in his Lady Killers series “Lady Killers III.”

What do you think of G-Eazy’s response to fan claims that he fell off after his 2017 album? Do you think he will ever have another one of his albums go platinum going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.

PinkPantheress Delivers A Hot Take On Song Length

by

PinkPantheress has made a career off of writing very short songs. Her DIY homespun sound comes hand-in-hand with shorter length tracks. That’s why its no surprise some of her tracks with sugary sweet hooks have become hits propelled by social media platforms like TikTok. Despite her increased commercial success, which peaked with the Ice Spice suported remix of “Boys a liar,” some online have criticized her artistic approach. Her songs being too short has become a common motif of those criticizing her music.

Unsurprisingly though. it’s a critique PinkPantheress herself doesn’t agree with. In a recent interview with ABC, she made her case for shorter song lengths. She first claimed that tracks didn’t need to be any longer than two minutes and thirty seconds. She justified that length by explaining that her songs don’t include bridges or unnecessarily long outros which keeps them so short. The comments sparked plenty of debate among fans online. They discussed whether or not there’s an ideal length for all songs and what that length might be. Check out the interview that sparked the debate below.

PinkPantheress Fans Debate Song Length

Last week PinkPantheress dropped her newest single “Turn It Up.” The track is her first new release of 2024 so far and follows in line with her DIY dancy pop style. It also makes use of a sample of Selena’s “Dreaming Of You,” something fans first took notice of when the track was teased with a snippet on TikTok.

Earlier this year PinkPantheress was photographed hanging out with Ice Spice and breakout R&B star Tyla. Fans immediately called for the three young stars to collaborate on some music together, with some even billing them as a potential smash girl group. What do you think of PinkPantheress’ take that songs don’t need to be any longer than two minutes and thirty seconds? Do you think there’s an ideal length for all or most songs? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Vs. Kendrick Lamar: DJ Akademiks’ Hate-Botting Theory Trashed By Fans

by

Overall, the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud has led to a whole lot of wild conspiracy theories online. Fans have been looking for clues in odd places, and have tried to piece together narratives that may or may not exist. Having said that, there is no denying that as it stands, Drizzy is the loser of the battle. Kendrick took the wind out of Drake’s sails with the song “Meet The Grahams,” and he eventually called game with the song “Not Like Us.”

If you have been going to YouTube, you will notice that a lot of Drake’s most recent songs have been inundated with dislikes. “The Heart Part 6” has over 1 million dislikes right now. Moreover, “Family Matters” has 400K dislikes to 800K likes. Lastly, his new collaboration with Sexyy Red currently stands at 80 percent dislikes on YouTube. In the eyes of DJ Akademiks, this recent trend simply isn’t normal. Instead, it appears like some sort of coordinated attack.

Drake Songs Inundated With Dislikes

“Either n****s hating on Drake or n****s hate botting his latest releases,” Akademiks wrote. “His last 2 releases has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. the heart part 6 and his newest feature on Sexyy redd song . And family matters has over 400k dislikes on YouTube. Very abnormal.” Akademiks makes an interesting point, however, for now, there is no evidence of hate-botting. In fact, fans don’t seem all that convinced that there is something nefarious going on. Instead, they think Ak’s bias is shining through here. Perhaps someday, Ak will be vindicated.

Fans React

Let us know what you make of this entire situation, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that bots are going up against Drake to take him down? If so, who do you think is commissioning the bots and what is the final goal? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

DJ Akademiks Theorizes Drake’s Latest Songs Are Being Hate Botted, Points Out Like/Dislike Ratio

by

DJ Akademiks pointed out an “abnormal” like-to-dislike ratio on Drake’s latest songs on YouTube in a post on Twitter, on Sunday. He says people are either hating on Drake like never before or someone has been hate-botting his releases. He used Drake’s Kendrick Lamar diss tracks, “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Part 6,” as well as his Sexyy Red collaboration, “U My Everything,” as examples to show the disparity.

“Either n****s hating on Drake or n****s hate botting his latest releases,” Akademiks wrote in the post. “His last 2 releases has more dislikes than likes on YouTube. The Heart part 6 and his newest feature on Sexyy redd song. And family matters has over 400k dislikes on YouTube. Very abnormal.” Fans were more skeptical in the comments section of his post. “N****s can’t just not dislike a song?” one user asked. Another wrote: “Or the sh*t wasn’t good? Family Matters is good. Heart Part 6 is so bad it’s almost funny. That Sexyy Redd song is ass outside of Drake’s verse so no sh*t it has mad dislikes.”

For the Sexyy Red collaboration, Drake raps over Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy,” diss instrumental. He flips the concept of the song by rapping: “BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it.” As for “The Heart Part 6,” he used the track to claim he set Kendrick Lamar up with false information amid their feud and made several disses against him. The title is a reference to Lamar’s “The Heart” series of songs.

by

Normani has been singing for over a decade now and in that time she is yet to release a debut studio album. That doesn’t mean she hasn’t been a part of studio projects in the past. She began her career in the girl group Fifth Harmony alongside future superstar Camila Cabello.
