Rich The Kid Claims Lil Wayne Called Him A GOAT

by

Rich The Kid has his strengths and he plays to them quite well. Over the course of his career, he’s had a strong hand in dictating the culture and influencing the sound of rap, even if he doesn’t necessarily get the credit he deserves. However, he’s still receiving praise from many of the titans of hip-hop, collaborating with Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Future, and plenty of others.

The rapper has maintained a close relationship with Lil Wayne over the years. Aside from music, their mutual love for skateboarding has brought them together over the years. Rich The Kid took to Instagram earlier today where he posed with Lil Wayne in Kobe Bryant’s Lakers jersey. Wayne, of course, has always expressed his appreciation for Kobe over the years, even recording a song named after the late Lakers legend. The caption, however, had many people scratching their heads. “The goat says im a GOAT,” he wrote along with GOAT emojis. 

Rich The Kid was immediately flamed for the caption. A few people suggested that Wayne was likely very stoned when he said that and it seems that RTK took notice. He has since changed the caption to simply include the hush emoji, and then to include two GOAT emojis side by side. 

The two have previously worked together on “End Of Discussion” and “Body Bag” from Rich The Kid and NBA Youngboy’s collaborative project.

Dionne Warwick Claps Back At Wendy Williams For Coming At Her Tweets

by

Wendy Williams decided to come for Dionne Warwick in one of the strangest ways last year. Williams stated on her show that Warwick was not writing her own tweets. Celebrities not writing their own tweets is nothing new, but Warwick has been a comical and loveable personality on Twitter. The legendary singer did not take kindly to being called out though.

“You know they’re gonna say what they wanna say regardless,” Warwick recently told Page Six when asked about Williams. “You know, so I just don’t bother to dignify it, you know what? Why waste my time and theirs by continuing to say, ‘Hey, it’s me?’ It’s me is all I can tell you.” Of course, Warwick has already addressed Wiliams via a tweet as well.

“A friend alerted me that Wendy Williams was spending a lot of not nice time speaking on me,” Warwick tweeted at the time. “I tuned in to her show to catch the last few minutes of her speaking about me and as in the past, she seems not to be able to speak without maliciously made comments.”

“There’s an old saying you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! Try it Wendy you might like it,” she added.

Lancey Foux & Skepta Connect On “WHAT U WANT”

by

The UK rap scene has been flourishing over the past few years. It largely has to do with the international success of a few artists along with the rise of drill but Lancey Foux doesn’t seem to fall under either category. Instead, he’s built a cult-like following with his mysterious persona and Atlanta-influence.

This week, he unveiled his latest body of work, FIRST DEGREE. The new album is eleven tracks in total with a sole feature coming from Skepta who appears on “WHAT U WANT.” A menacing banger with a sinister beat to back them as they talk their shit. 

Skepta and Lancey Foux have an incredible track record together with the pair previously working together on “Animal Instinct” and “PSYKENIGHT.”

Check out their new collaboration below.

Quotable Lyrics
N***as said that they rollin’, tables turn, I’m spinnin’ it 
And I come through bowling, sexy ting, I’m pinnin’ it
If life is a game, then you know us man been winnin’ it 
If the four-five ain’t got ADHD, then I got the Ritalin

Chika & BJ The Chicago Kid Aren’t Living In A Fantasy On “Fairy Tales”

by

Chika’s been the one to look out for over the past few years. Ever since she showed out with her post-electionC freestyle in 2016, many have been championing her as they await for her moment to truly blow up. It seems like that moment is truly beginning to occur these days, especially after releasing her 2020 project, INDUSTRY GAMES. 

On Friday, she returned with her latest EP, Once Upon A Time. She teams up with BJ The Chicago Kid to set the tone for the project on the intro track, “Fairy Tales.” BJ’s vocals make a declaration over triumphant horns before Chika’s melodious flow offers an insightful yet broad reflection of representation in the media, especially for young Black children. “Let’s make a couple hits for all the kids that need a symbol/ Let’s remind them that they matter, the media can chatter/ And peer into their lives to form statistics, like we data,” Chika raps on the record.

Quotable Lyrics
Pied Piper gone to jail because the streets talk, n***a
Role models only real until the beat stop, n***a
Karens love the coloreds if it’s Deepak, n***a
But her walls so dry, call it sheet rock, n***a

Clever Shares A Poem Dedicated To Juice WRLD On “Dreams”

by

Juice WRLD’s passing was a real tragedy that left the music industry without one of its up-and-coming stars. There were numerous artists who were impacted by Juice WRLD, including Alabama artist Clever, who recently released his new album called Crazy which just so happens to be dedicated to Juice. Perhaps the biggest tribute on the album is the interlude “Dreams” which is a poem to the star.

In this poem, Clever speaks about his final conversation with Juice WRLD and how he told the artist about how he saved his life. Clever felt like it was he himself who was about to die and he is forever grateful for how Juice impacted him. It’s a powerful sequence on the album that just goes to show how much Juice meant to the industry.

You can read our most recent interview with Clever, right here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Had a dream last night ’bout Juice last flight
But the plane touched down, he was holding Ally tight
No medics were in sight, no tears on the cheek
Me and George was on good terms, it was love when we speak

Netflix To Release Documentary About The Last Blockbuster Aftering Killing Their Company

by

After pretty much destroying the movie rental industry, Netflix is releasing a documentary about the last Blockbuster. The film is called The Last Blockbuster and it shows never-before-seen footage of employees, fans, and more. The trailer is filled with nostalgic moments that capture the magic the once filled the air when adults and kids would flock to rent their favorite films. 

The Last Blockbuster Official Trailer from PopMotion Pictures on Vimeo.

The last Blockbuster in the world is located in Bend, Oregon. The documentary’s official Facebook page states, “A lot of people know that Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix early on and they passed on the opportunity. In an ironic twist of fate, our movie The Last Blockbuster is coming to Netflix one week from today. We are beyond excited for people to get to see this tribute to era of home video on the world’s largest streaming service. Just don’t forget to rewind it when you’re done watching it and bring it back by noon on Wednesday.” Streaming in general looks like it will kill many more industries in the next decade, with more and more people switching from cable to apps like Hulu or Disney+. The Last Blockbuster premieres on Netflix on March 15.

Cardi B Doesn’t Think Selena Gomez Should Retire From Music

by

In a recent interview with Vogue, Selena Gomez told journalist Jia Tolentino that she was considering retiring from music for good. “It’s hard to keep doing music when people don’t necessarily take you seriously,” she said. “I’ve had moments where I’ve been like, ‘What’s the point? Why do I keep doing this?’ ‘Lose You to Love Me’ I felt was the best song I’ve ever released, and for some people it still wasn’t enough. I think there are a lot of people who enjoy my music, and for that I’m so thankful, for that I keep going, but I think the next time I do an album it’ll be different. I want to give it one last try before I maybe retire music.”

The 28-year-old singer-actor was met with some adverse reactions when she announced she was considering retirement, but perhaps none more heartfelt than one from Cardi B. “I don’t think Selena should retire,” Cardi Tweeted on Wednesday. “She makes good music & her fans love her .I think she needs one more Era. A edgy one that no one ever seen her as .I would love to give her some ideas.” 

 

It seemed as though Selena was teasing her retirement from the industry prior to the release of her most recent EP, Revelación, which she called an “homage to [her] heritage.” To promote one of the singles from the EP, she Tweeted, “Te lo quería decir adiós,” which means, “I wanted to tell you goodbye.” 

Should Selena retire from music and make a return to acting? Let us know your thoughts below.

Moneybagg Yo Reacts To Joe Biden’s “Moneybagg Joe” Meme

by

Moneybagg Yo’s music is certainly rooted in the streets that shaped who he is today but the reach he has is going far beyond Memphis, the South, or even the realm of hip-hop. It seems his profile is continuing to blow up these days on account of his latest string of singles, high-profile relationships, and his success as both a musician and entrepreneur.

The rapper was at the center of viral memes this week after Joe Biden signed off on the third round of stimulus checks. Joe Biden was briefly nicknamed Moneybagg Joe as gifs and memes of both the rapper and the president made rounds on the Internet. Some went as far as using the reface app to put Biden’s face on Moneybagg Yo’s head which was truly a frightening sight to see. What might even be worse is the photoshop job of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ face plastered over Moneybagg Yo’s and Ari’s.

With an album recently wrapped up, this was certainly the type of publicity that would bring the right type of awareness to his follow-up to Time Served. On Friday, the rapper reflected on the memes making their way onto MSNBC with Ari Melber who surprisingly hasn’t had Moneybagg on his show yet. Ari broke down the situation regarding Joe Biden and the memes while Moneybagg was simply floored that it made its way to national television. 

“National News Manne Wtf,” he captioned the post. “Shit done got outta hand.”

It was only a few months ago when Sasha Obama was vibing out to City Girls’ verse on “Said Sum (Remix).” Clearly, Moneybagg’s impact is reaching far beyond the world of hip-hop and music.

NBA Announcer Roasted After Calling Ben Simmons Overrated

by

Ben Simmons has been a polarizing player in the NBA over the last few years due to the fact that he doesn’t have much of a jump shot despite being a point guard. Regardless, Simmons is a highly-effective player and an All-Star. As a result of his play, the Sixers have enjoyed quite a bit of success this season, and fans in Philly love him.

Not everyone is convinced, however, as last night, the announcer for the Washington Wizards, Justin Kutcher, roasted Simmons for being “Overrated.” Kutcher feels like Simmons’ contributions to his team are overexaggerated and that Tobias Harris should get more shine.

“I’ve said it before and I know I’ll take flak for it,” Kutcher said. “I think Ben Simmons is one of if not the most overrated player in the NBA. He’s got so much love and attention that people aren’t paying attention to what Tobias Harris is doing on the floor.”

The clip of Kutcher’s comments immediately went viral which is when he doubled down, saying “Yep, I said that Ben Simmons is one of the most overrated plyrs in the NBA, and I stand by it. I didn’t say he was BAD, just not as good as everyone makes him out to be. GREAT defender, potential DPOY, but I think he’s made All League/All Star Teams based on hype. And..goodnight.”

This led to a whole lot of clowning on social media as fans were disgusted by what Kutcher had to say. In the tweets below, you can see exactly what kind of reactions he elicited.

Let us know if you agree with Kutcher, in the comments below.
