The NPR Tiny Desk has served as a unqiue stage for many rappers and singers to show off their skills. Artists like Tyler, The Creator, Mac Miller, and Anderson .Paak have all made memorable appearances behind the titular desk. There’s been an extremely impressive roster of bands and artists to play behind the desk over the years. During the COVID-19 pandemic they even creatively shifted the series to memorable at-home additions from artists like Young Thug and Clipping.

The video is already racking up hundreds of thousands of views and is currently trending on YouTube.

NPR Drops Willow’s Tiny Desk Concert

It caught the entire hip-hop community off guard, and it left everyone scrambling to react and break down the bars.

Still, even with the minimal release and promotion, “euphoria” has racked up a ton streams for Kendrick Lamar.

In a recent Instagram post from thehiphopwolf, the account revealed that the track had brought in around 7.7 million plays in just 24 hours. In fact, that number has increased by about 300,000 at the time of writing, bringing the new total to 8.1 million. For comparison, Drake’s “Push Ups” has over 6.4 million views, and that hit YouTube officially almost two weeks ago. However, it still sits number eight on trending for music.

But “euphoria” has Kendrick at number one on trending overall, so in that aspect, he is winning. Then, on the other hand, Drake does have the streaming advantage by default. It has over 40 million plays on Spotify and debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. So, the question is, does Lamar drop “euphoria” on streaming platforms now, especially with the numbers it is seeing?

What are your thoughts on Kendrick Lamar bringing in over eight million streams on YouTube for “euphoria” in just one day? Does this prove that Lamar is winning right now, why or why not?

Ice Spice And Cash Cobain Take Over A Chinese Restaurant In The Music Video For “Fisherrr”

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice is still a relatively new artist but she’s developing a knack for good visuals quickly. She’s already dazzled fans with the music videos for songs like “Barbie World” and “Deli” and she doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon in her new era. That includes the new remix she did with Cash Cobain of his viral TikTok hit “Fisherrr.” Despite her remix leaking earlier this week it was officially released overnight and fans gravitated to it quickly. Earlier today the song got an official music video and it’s getting similar treatment from fans.

In the visuals for the song, Spice and Cobain are hanging out in an NYC Chinese restaurant. The visuals include the pair rapping from a busy kitchen, ordering takeout, and even some hilarious food shots in line with Spice’s lyrics. Those shots are intercut with the pair rapping in other places like the backseat of a car or in the street with a vintage film look. The video has well over 20k views after just an hour with many more likely to follow. Check out the brand new visuals below.

Ice Spice’s New “Fisherrr” Remix Video

While the new single is clicking with a lot of fans, it hasn’t been without some backlash. Much of that has spawned from the allegedly AI-generated album cover, which a fan pointed out online. AI is a hot-button issue among musicians right now who are worried about having their voices stolen and reproduced without their consent by artificial learning. Consequently, that’s probably why Spice quickly apologized for the move in a quote tweet. She also seemingly tried to save face by claiming that she didn’t actually know it was AI-generated until it was pointed out by fans.

What do you think of the new visuals Ice Spice and Cash Cobain shared for their “Fisherrr” remix? Do you have a problem with the pair using an AI-generated image for the song’s artwork? Let us know in the comment section below.

He went all out celebrating the record for it’s anniversary a massive show on the main stage of Rolling Loud Los Angeles where he played some fan-favorite cuts from the record. He’s spoken extensively on his love for the album, be he doesn’t feel the same about his entire catalog.

During a recent podcast with ScHoolboy Q he reflected on the album. Q is certainly a fan of the album, saying “That sh*t is so hard.” But YG’s feelings are more complicated. “I was in a dark-ass place when I made that album. My album wasn’t even supposed to sound like that. I started recording that album right around the time I got shot. I was just going through all that sh*t. And then I fell out with the homies. N*gga, I was in a dark-ass place. I had my newborn daughter but it was just dark. I was making sh*t that I didn’t even wanna, I was trying to be on some other sh*t but it wasn’t there. So I had to do the dark sh*t,” the “FDT” rapper explains. Check out the full discussion he and ScHoolboy Q had below.

YG’s Surprising Take On “Still Brazy”

Much of the recent news relating to YG has had to do with his relationship with Saweetie. The couple seemingly called it quits earlier this year but all signs have been pointing to things being back on. That started during his Rolling Loud performance where Saweetie joined for a sensual guest appearance. They went Twitter official all over again a few weeks ago when they dropped a picture together accompanied by a caption packed with heart emojis.

What do you think of YG’s take on his own critically acclaimed 2016 album “Still Brazy?” Are you surprised that he doesn’t feel the album is authentically him given where he was while making it? Let us know in the comment section below.

Rubius Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Streamer

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the vast world of online content creation, few names shine as brightly as El Rubius. As of 2024, this Norwegian-Spanish YouTube sensation boasts an impressive net worth of $7 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But how did Rubén Doblas Gundersen, better known as El Rubius, climb to such heights?

Born on February 13, 1990, in Mijas, Andalusia, Spain, El Rubius is the product of a diverse heritage, with a Norwegian mother and Spanish father. Significant transitions marked his early years. Following his parents’ divorce at the tender age of three, he relocated to Bergen, Norway, with his mother. However, the call of Spain was strong, and he returned to Madrid, where he developed a passion for geek culture and video games, thanks to his first gaming system, the SNES.

The Birth Of A YouTube Star

El Rubius’ journey into content creation began in 2006 with the launch of his first YouTube channel, “elrubius.” His initial content revolved around “Grand Theft Auto IV” montages. However, it was his “Skyrim” montages in 2011 that truly catapulted him to fame. Due to some challenges with his original channel, he introduced a new one, “elrubiusOMG,” which quickly gained traction. His unique approach to summarizing video games in just one minute became a viral sensation in Spain. One of his most notable videos, a “Minecraft” parody titled “Minero,” has garnered over 106 million views.

Beyond YouTube: Expanding His Empire

El Rubius’ influence isn’t limited to YouTube. With over 14.3 million followers on Twitch, he stands as one of the platform’s most-followed personalities. His creative endeavors also extend to the literary world. In 2014, he released “El Libro Troll,” which dominated Spanish bestseller lists. Following this success, he ventured into the realm of comics with his “Virtual Hero” series, which was later adapted into an anime series aired on Movistar+. Notably, El Rubius lent his voice to the show, further solidifying his status as a versatile content creator.

Recognition & Controversies

Success often comes with its share of challenges and controversies. El Rubius’ decision to relocate to Andorra in 2021 stirred debates, with many speculating tax benefits as the primary motivation. Despite the controversies, his achievements are undeniable. His tweet in 2016 holds the record for the world’s most retweeted post. Moreover, Time magazine recognized him as one of the “next generation leaders.” Further, over the years, El Rubius has received numerous accolades for his contributions to the digital space. He bagged the Play Award for YouTuber of the Year in 2016 and was nominated for the ESLAND Award for Streamer of the Year in 2022.

Conclusion

El Rubius’ journey from a young boy in Spain to a global digital sensation is inspiring. With a net worth of $7 million in 2024, he is a testament to the unlimited possibilities the digital world offers. As platforms evolve and audiences grow, there’s no doubt that El Rubius will continue to shape and redefine the landscape of online content creation.

DaBaby Walks Off The Set Of A YouTube Video In Newly Emerged Footage

April 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, footage hit the internet of DaBaby walking out of a planned YouTube video shoot. He was collaborating with YouTuber Michael Wright for his 20v1 series. A few rappers have already stopped by the show to talk to some of the 20 girls selected to participate and it’s spawned a few viral moments in recent months. But the “Suge” rappers episode didn’t seem to go quite as smoothly as a newly leaked video reveals.

In the footage, one particular woman is clearly making the rapper uncomfortable. She asks him a particularly NSFW question that he has no desire to respond to and when she refuses to let up he claims he’s being verbally harassed. The situation escalates with no intervention of any kind until he eventually walks off set and attempts to get that portion of the video deleted. In the comments, fans largely take DaBaby’s side and agree that it was the job of the production to do something as soon as they saw he was uncomfortable. Check out the video and fan reactions to it below.

The top comments on the post nearly all take DaBaby’s side. “No lie, Baby kept his cool and tried to move forward . They let it drag . Good shi on his part” a top comment reads. “He was the special guest, they should’ve made that girl leave as soon as they saw he was uncomfortable” another agrees.

DaBaby dropped a pair of freestyles earlier this week that proves his work ethic is unmatched. He’s frequently tried his hand at the instrumentals behind some of the biggest rap hits of the day. That was the case when he released freestyles over “Like That” and “Get It Sexyy” in quick succession. What do you think of DaBaby walking off set of a YouTube video shoot after a woman clearly makes him uncomfortable? Do you think the production should have moved on to a different contestant when the situation started? Let us know in the comment section below.

Young Thug Trial: State Witness Becomes Uncooperative During Questioning

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The newest developments in the Young Thug trial over the past few weeks have further deteriorated the reputation of the trial online. During a run of stories in March one witness claimed that he was being threatened and just a few days later another claimed he was so high on the stand he might fall asleep. The defense calculated that with the extensive list of witnesses presented by the prosecution, the trial could last until 2027. The judge responded this week by dropping some people from the witness list including Lil Wayne.

Now there’s yet another issue with a state witness. Yesterday, D’Angelo White was called to the stand in order to give some context to Thug’s origins. But once they began asking questions that directly related to Thug, White became uncooperative. He repeatedly had to ask what the questions had to do with him before eventually shutting down completely. After that almost any questions he was asked he responded with “I shouldn’t be here.” Check out the full day of court proceedings below.

Witness In The Young Thug Trial Stops Answering Questions

The witness issues in the case haven’t slowed down in recent weeks. Earlier this month a female witness alleged that a Fulton County investigator sexually harassed her. Just a few days later a different investigator from the trial was caught sharing inappropriate text messages with one of the witnesses in the trial. Thug’s defense called the move an attempt to score favoritism in their testimony.

Last week, Young Thug appeared on a highly-anticipated new song. Lil Wayne dropped the track “Bless,” the lead single from his upcoming album. The song has already racked up more than a million streams on Spotify in less than a week since it dropped. What do you think of even more issues spawning from a state witness in the Young Thug RICO trial? Do you think the witness list needs to be cut down so the trial doesn’t last as long? Let us know in the comment section below.
