CJ Insists He’s A ‘Real One’ In His Latest High-Energy Video

CJ isn’t about to let the momentum of his “Whoopty” success slip away. After dropping a pair of well-received remixes — the “Whoopty NYC Remix” featuring French Montana and Rowdy Rebel, and the “Whoopty Latin Mix” with Anuel AA and Ozuna — the Staten Island native is following up with a new video from his debut EP, Loyalty Over Royalty. In the “Real One” video, CJ performs solo in an empty warehouse with moody lighting, with sultry shots of models seducing the camera cut in.

Lyrically, CJ insists that a romantic interest “wanna f*ck with a real one,” rhyming in a singsong flow to boast about his sex appeal and newfound success. It’s a short but effective song that shows his versatility, slightly departing from the catchy vocal sample and spare rhythms of his drill hit, but not so much that it might alienate the fans of that song who helped drive it and its multiple remixes to over 250 million cumulative views on YouTube.

Meanwhile, with songs like “Bop” and “Politics” racking up some respectable streaming numbers of their own, it looks like CJ has the tools to dodge one-hit-wonder status — although he should probably look into switching up his video locations and concepts sometime soon.

Watch the “Real One” video above.

CJ is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Famous Dex Fans Don’t Hold Back With Brutal Comments On New Music

Famous Dex has seemingly been back to his old ways, concerning fans with his latest activity on social media. The 27-year-old rapper has not been having a strong run as of late, striking out with his music releases and getting shafted by the legal system after nineteen domestic violence and gun possession charges were handed down on him. At the beginning of this year, Dexter told fans he was entering a rehabilitation center for substance abuse. He got out a month later and seemed to be in good spirits, but his behavior quickly declined and now, he’s back sounding incoherent.

Previewing his latest single on Instagram and asking fans to leave positive comments if they want the full record, Famous Dex mumbled his way through the track and earned a bunch of remarks about it. However, contrary to what he asked for, all of the top comments are about how Dex needs to get the help he requires as people assume he’s back on drugs.

“Did the whole song on Xanax. Can y’all hear it in his voice,” said one fan. “This is the worst thing ive heard in a long time,” brutally said another. “We can’t keep doing this bro,” added one fan, reluctantly continuing to support the rapper.

Pray for Famous Dex. Watch the video above.

Death Row Records Celebrates 30th Anniversary With Official Online Store

90s pop culture was defined in many ways by the iconic Death Row Records. Though now-defunct, the roster that included Snoop Dogg and 2Pac, with Suge Knight and Dr. Dre serving as co-founders, offered some of the most profound rap music to exist during that time. The empire ultimately crumbled following the departure of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and the passing of 2Pac but we can still agree that what was created during those peak years is timeless.

Suge Knight might be behind bars but Hasbro’s acquisition of Death Row Records under Entertainment One has led the company to bring its operation into the 21st century. This week, Death Row Records launched its first official online store commemorating 30 years. The online store gives fans the opportunity to finally cop some official merch, rather than the bootleg tees and hoodies that have been making rounds. Additionally, there are also vinyl, CDs, and cassettes of the classic records available for purchase. As for the merch, there are also beanies, long-sleeve shirts, and snapback hats available. There are also NFTs on sale, as well.

Death Row was back in headlines earlier this year after it was revealed that the co-founder of the label, Michael “Harry-O” Harris, was released from prison. Snoop Dogg was among those who pushed Trump to commute Harrus from freedom.

Check out the official Death Row website to check out their merch. 

CupcakKe Fronts The Entire Bill Of A Fan Facing Eviction

Throughout quarantine, the general public’s relationship with celebrities has somewhat soured. While previously providing entertainment value, the onset of the pandemic led to many viewing their excessive displays of wealth and glamour as insensitive and downright selfish. In fact, while many Americans suffered huge financial losses, billionaires collectively added $3.9 trillion more to their own wealth. That being said, folks have a lot to be mad about. CupcakKe is joining the list of artists attempting to spread her wealth as much as possible, completely fronting the bill of one lucky fan in need.

The Chicago native responded to calls for help from a big fan of hers on social media. Danielle tweeted two weeks ago (March 18), “Currently facing eviction in the middle of a fu**ing panny. Anything helps! I need $2,163, and I’ve currently been blessed with $86!!!!! Here’s my cash app: $Stanlife99 PLEASE RT SHARE AND BOOST! Please give if you can.”

Catching wind of the tweet, the “Discounts” rapper let Danielle know she was all set. “Took care of that bill for you . God bless you,” penned CupcakKe, quoting the original tweet with a screenshot of the transaction’s receipt. 

The rapper is known to often make these kinds of donations to fans directly through social media and at her live shows. Back in 2019, she announced an upcoming North American tour with $10,000 to be raffled at each concert

CupcaKe’s selfless contribution comes on the tail ends of Kylie Jenner’s controversial donation fiasco. The “billionaire” mogul asked fans via social media to donate to help raise the $60,000 needed to pay for her friend’s medical bill after suffering from life-threatening injuries.

Polo G’s GF Trolls Him On TikTok

The life of a recording artist includes a lot of studio time. Sometimes, an artist can spend days at a time in the booth, perfecting their craft and preparing material for future releases. Once you start to gain some worldwide recognition, the demand for studio time amplifies as the pressure ramps up. The label starts asking for more music, which you’ve got to deliver to keep getting paid.

Polo G is one of the most exciting young artists out there. His confidence is boundless, comparing himself to Tupac Shakur this week on social media. Elsewhere on the internet, Lil Capalot popped out on his girlfriend’s latest TikTok video, where she completes the “passing the phone” challenge by trolling her man.

“I’m passing the phone to somebody who wants to go to the studio instead of going to the mall when we come to Miami to take a trip but, um, yeah,” said Crystal before sliding the phone to her boyfriend Polo G. “We didn’t come to Miami to be on no f*ckin’ trip. We came out here to work! She the one that wanna go to the mall like it’s ‘shake that ass time,'” replied the rapper.

When the video got reposted by popular blogs across Instagram, Crystal confirmed that they ended up going shopping at the mall. However, that was likely after they got done at the studio.

The video has been watched over eleven million times so far. Watch it above and have a laugh.

Boosie Gets Taken On Emotional Rollar Coaster By Goose

Though Boosie has proven himself to be a relatively adept naturalist, at least where his fellow rappers are concerned, there is still much to learn for the outspoken Baton Rouge legend. Shortly after revealing his ability to communicate with marine life — a dolphin, to be specific — Boosie recently found himself face to face with another majestic creature — the Canada goose.

Footage of Boosie’s encounter with the goose quickly found its way onto social media, and many were quick to have a laugh at the rapper’s emotional roller coaster. Clearly unaware that Canadian geese tend to stand on one leg, rendering the other one difficult to see, Boosie found himself moved by what he believed to be a “handicapped” goose.

“Man, I’m walking in the mall and see a one-legged duck,” remarks the rapper. “I feel sorry for him. He’s handicapped. I walked up to him and he didn’t do nothing. He a soldier. Look he can’t do anything. He hungry, bro.” The goose proceeds to lower its leg, prompting Boosie to lose his mind. “Oh, there go his other leg! Man he’s playing with my top!” remarks the rapper, having a laugh at the big reveal.

For those who can appreciate the rapper’s antics, the clip will certainly deliver in that regard. And who knows — should he be looking to secure an unexpected revenue stream, perhaps Boosie oughta consider launching his own series on Animal Planet or a similar network. If that’s not highly marketable content, what is? 

JT Blows A Bag On Designer To Welcome Home Yung Miami’s Mother

Yung Miami welcomed her mother home from prison on Saturday (March 27) and has been expressing her joy nonstop across her respective social media channels. The Miami native’s mother Keenya Young was sentenced to five years plus 10 years probation in 2017 in relation to a hit and run incident that happened back in her home state back in 2009. She shared footage of her mother’s first moments out via her Instagram Sunday and threw her a lavish welcome home party for her as well. Continuing on with her massive homecoming celebration, other half of the City Girls JT treated Momma Miami to dozens of boxes full of new designer gear.

Young shared footage of lavish gifts she received from her daughter’s bandmate in celebration of her prison release. “Thank you [JT],” penned Young over the Instagram stories video, tagging the rapper. 

In the video, Yung Miami’s mother pans over numerous Fenty, Chanel, and Dior labeled boxes, displaying just how much Lil Uzi Vert’s other half spent on her. The duo is known for purchasing lavish gifts for each other and their loved ones. In February, JT gifted Yung Miami $50k in cash for her 27th birthday and it looks like she gave the same treatment to Momma Miami too. 

As mentioned previously, Yung Miami, née Caresha Brownlee shared with fans late last week that her mother was finally coming home. “My mom get out tomorrow,” tweeted the “P*ssy Talk” artist on Friday (March 26). “I’m so anxious,” she continued.

“My Mom left me with 2 kids plus Jai I was 22 going on 23 I didn’t know what to do I had to figure it out. Look at me now God is so good,” penned the rapper in a second tweet. Check out footage from their reunion below, as well as pictures from her mother’s brand new Instagram account. 

Migos Preview New “Culture 3” Banger

It’s been well established that Migos will soon be delivering their new album Culture 3 at long last, though we have yet to receive anything confirming a concrete release date. Still, the group has been vocally operating in “album mode,” increasing the pace and previewing a few new snippets from the forthcoming project. Now, Quavo has come through to share another promising preview, further signaling the imminence of their climactic Culture chapter.

“Don’t Nun Get Straighten But STRAIGHTEN!” captions Quavo, alongside a clip from what appears to be an upcoming music video. “In this game sit back be patient,” raps Quavo, who sounds like he’s got a chip on his shoulder. “N***as act like the game went vacant, n***as act like sumthin been taken / ain’t nothin but a little bit of straightenin’ / been kicking shit popping out daily.” The clip ends, but it’s enough to set a tone, one that suggests that the Atlanta trifecta is looking to make a statement.

Having previously hinted that Culture 3 would be a return to the group’s formative sound, many have been excited to see how the group bounces back from the lackluster response of the second chapter. Based on what we’ve seen so far, Migos aren’t about to disappoint with this one, as everything we’ve heard so far suggests a welcome sense of urgency and hunger. Check out this latest snippet below, and sound off if you’re looking forward to their new album.
