by

Yung Joc recently showed his tears to the world in an emotive Instagram post on Friday (May 12) that resonated with many fans and industry figures. Moreover, the Atlanta rapper lamented the state of the world today, remarking on senseless violence, division, and drug use ruining lives. Overall, it was a very tough video to watch for its palpable emotions, but he did suggest some hope, unity, and love towards the end of his message. Unfortunately, some online clowned him for posting something like this out of the blue. Furthermore, there were so many more messages of support, sympathy, and respect, some from his hip-hop peers.

“Raw Emotions,” Yung Joc began his post’s caption. “No hiding behind facades. Can I cry in front of the world? Why am I crying? This world is such a wicked place at times. Our kids are dying before they can live in these streets. Our homes are filled with hate because it’s all around us. Destruction is prevalent. Drugs are running rampant in our community. So many are confused. Ascension is a necessity. Let it out in front of the world. Do you ever feel like just letting it all out? Some will laugh and that’s expected. Some will tap in to see if I’m ok and that’s appreciated. I begging for mercy on all of us no soul unaccounted for. I Love You.”

Yung Joc’s Powerful Post

After his post went viral, Busta Rhymes, Soulja Boy, and The Game were among many to express care for the Bad Boy artist. “We’re here with you and for you King!!” Busta commented under his post. In addition, the California MC left a simple praying emoji in the comments. “You got this,” Soulja wrote to Yung Joc, adding a very important and often overlooked message. “Stay strong and focused. Crying doesn’t make you weak- not being able to express yourself does.”

Hopefully the 42-year-old feels better these days and felt that wave of support as powerfully as others witnessed his emotions.

Yung Joc Thinks Diddy Outshines Jermaine Dupri In Knowing What’s “Hot”

by

No one is quite sure when Verzuz will make its triumphant return, but fans are looking forward to Jermaine Dupri versus Sean “Diddy” Combs. This pending match-up has been hyped for years, and while there was a time when a look from the two was just gossip, Dupri confirmed it’s in development. The So So Def hitmaker hasn’t been quiet about wanting to face off with his mogul peer. He’s declared himself the underdog in interviews, but Dupri is insistent that his catalog outweighs Diddy’s heat.

However, Yung Joc takes a different stance. He visited Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion and spoke on the two icons. “I always felt like Diddy understood how to go to the next level of what he was doing,” said the Love & Hip Hop star. “JD did, too, but JD again was doing so many other things that he didn’t focus on his artistry as much as Diddy did.” Both Diddy and Dupri helped produce classic hits, but they also saw charting success as artists.

Yung Joc Explains Choosing Diddy

The “It’s Goin’ Down” rapper added, “Diddy kinda stands next to what’s hot.” Joc explained that when Diddy is attached to something, “he makes it hotter.” He said, “[Diddy] will acknowledge what’s hot, and his acknowledgment brings awareness to what’s hot. And he blows it up. In theory, you think of all parties involved, and nine times out of ten, who was the bigger party involved? Diddy. So he understands marketing, and that’s the difference that he got over JD.”

Joc further argued that Dupri “focused on his strengths as a producer and writer.” However, Diddy was more of an artist or “flagship artist of his brand.” The rapper said, “No matter who he had, he’s branded as the flagship of Bad Boy. JD is So So Def, but the other artists were bigger than JD.” Some believe that Joc isn’t as objective as he portrays; although he resides in Atlanta, where Jermaine Dupri is like a music god, Joc was also signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy decades ago.

They’ve playfully talked that talk to one another on Livestreams to hype their Verzuz appearance, and Hip Hop is looking forward to it. Check out Yung Joc on My Expert Opinion above.

Yung Joc On T.I. & Boosie Beef: “I Don’t Know What’s Real No More”

by

The beef between T.I. and Boosie has been quite interesting and volatile to see, but Yung Joc is one of many who are looking at it with more skeptical mindsets. Moreover, the Bronx-born rapper recently appeared on the My Expert Opinion podcast to talk about his thoughts on their spat. On one hand, Joc recongized that both artists stood firmly by their values and held onto their arguments. However, he also acknowledged that there could be something else at play, suggesting that it could all be for show. After all, Tip’s final album is coming soon, and that means a promo rollout is in order.

“So it’s kind of one thing if you my OG, and I can speak out against you, I can’t migrate to another city and link with a n***a who done did the same thing, and not say nothing,” the 42-year-old began. “So that’s the space Boosie in, and he standing on that. I don’t know if for Tip, cause he’s like ‘Man, I thought we were good.’ But then at the end of the day, I don’t know what’s real no more.

Yung Joc Gives His Two Cents On T.I. and Boosie

“They had the joint album,” he continued. “Now T.I. said that he’s gonna do his last album where he be throwing himself as the king. It could be the press for his new album. ‘Cause it was just that fast with him and Boosie. With Boosie doing that, it’s a lot of people who still love Tip in the way that they’re, ‘You know what? With you doing that, bro, we gon’ support this s**t whole 100%.’

“And there’s some people who love Boosie that are like, “You know what? You stood on that, we gon’ support you,’” he continued. “So I don’t know what the f**k. When I think about marketing, when people talk to me about s**t, I always saw it go wrong. I say some s**t in the background and then, when that s**t come out, n***as be like, ‘Bro, how the f**k you knew that?’” Let us know your take in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest on Yung Joc, Boosie, and T.I.

Yung Joc’s Infamous 3D Tupac Haircut Resurfaces & Twitter Is Still Baffled

by

Yung Joc always manages to take the internet by storm for the wrong reasons. In the latter half of 2022, he made headlines after sending $1,800 on Zelle before trying to retrieve the funds. Unfortunately for him, the individual ended up blocking him. Then, there was the moment where he ate his words after betting that Tory Lanez would be found not guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion. As a result, he kept to his word and shaved his head bald for the Internet to see. 

However, Yung Joc’s hair-dos also manages to capture the attention of Twitter. Previously, he became a meme after showcasing his perm, which continues to live on in Twitter discourse. Still, nothing beats Yung Joc’s 3D Tupac haircut that he revealed a few years ago. The intricate hairdo includes braids tied to the top of his head in a bun, while a portrait of Tupac is edged onto the back. However, he used some of the unbraided hair to give ‘Pac the same hairstyle he had when he played Roland Bishop in Juice. 

Yung Joc Tupac Haircut Resurfaces

This morning, the barber behind the infamous do took to Instagram to reflect on the viral moment. Rob The Barber shared the video of Joc’s odd tribute to the late rapper, writing, “3D 2Pac portrait haircut on the homie @joclive [Yung Joc] #robtheorginal.” Though the video undoubtedly showcased Rob’s incredible skills as a barber, many still question why Yung Joc thought it would be an effective tribute to a cherished legend in the game.

Following the viral moment in 2019, Joc and Rob The Barber explained to TMZ that it was an incredibly detailed process. Rob said that he used trimmers to carve Tupac’s image with 3D hair to flesh out the image. Meanwhile, he used eyeliner to create facial features. Though an impressive style, Joc said that he needed to shower meticulously and ensure that the steam doesn’t effect the hair-do. 

After the video emerged online, again, Twitter went into a frenzy. Some questioned Job’s sanity, writing, “Man what tf wrong with yung joc ??? I know 2pac pissed.” Another person wrote, “When it comes to hairstyles yung Joc is like 3/89.” Needless to say, there were plenty of people hounding Joc for the wild attempt at paying homage. Check out a few more responses below.

Yung Joc Blames Failed 2 Chainz Collab For Fallout With Pierre Thomas

by

There is much wheeling and dealing in the industry, and Yung Joc recalls a falling out with Pierre “Pee” Thomas. To outsiders, it seems as if the Atlanta music scene is interconnected; everyone knows one another, so it was no surprise that Yung Joc and 2 Chainz were linking in the studio. However, things didn’t go as planned, and Joc detailed the tension that spawned. The Love & Hip Hop star shared his story while visiting the Big Facts Podcast.

As Yung Joc tells it, Quality Control boss Pierre Thomas was instrumental in funding a collaboration between Chainz and Joc. The record was finalized, so to speak, but there were a few hangups regarding clearances. 2 Chainz “gave me a love verse,” said Joc. “I will say that he gave me a love verse and that n*gga was going in. I was still signed and sh*t, so I came back. Me and P did a deal.”

Yung Joc Details The Fallout

“So, me and P put up $30,000 to push the record,” Joc continued. “I asked 2 Chainz to do it for me, and I’m a bring him the money and the label going to cut the rest of the check for them. So, I just give you a deposit on the label and cut the check.” Things progressed, but he still couldn’t move forward as expected. “It was time to get all the sh*t going. We got the radio playing it, and you know these markets, you start up a record in certain markets and sh*t. Then, when I’m coming to 2 Chainz, it was like we couldn’t never get the clearance on it.”

There was a holdup because the “label wouldn’t cut the check.” Joc continued, “I was like, ‘Damn, bro, I just need the clearance on this sh*t, like do something.’ So we kept going back and forth with the attorneys. It didn’t quite happen, and that sh*t kind of created a situation with me and P.”

Joc Shares Pierre Thomas’s Response

Ultimately, Thomas was frustrated because of the lack of movement. Joc explained that to Thomas, it felt as if it was a waste of finances. Check out Yung Joc detailing the story on Big Facts Pod above.
