Ty Dolla Sign Enjoys “Vultures” Success, Reaches Massive Streaming Accolade

by

Everyone’s talking about the new album Vultures in regards to its most popular artist, Kanye West. Even though a lot of the project sounds like it came from him and is oriented around his status, it’s a collab album. A big issue with our coverage of this LP -– and that of most publications, for that matter -– is that we might not have properly taken the time to give Ty Dolla $ign his flowers. Say what you will about his association with Ye’s antisemitism, but he is the glue that holds Vultures together, and is its most consistently great force. Fortunately, based on the numbers, the 41-year-old is definitely getting his due praise.

Moreover, a new report emerged suggesting that Ty Dolla Sign is now the ninth most streamed artist on Spotify. Apparently, this reflects a jump of 155 spots from before Vultures had released on the platform after a long wait, which is an amazing feat. Given the discrepancy between his popularity and that of Kanye West, we’re glad that this opportunity at least put him on the spotlight in a way that would boost his visibility, his numbers, and his acclaim. No matter what on God’s green Earth is going on during any given album cut, you can bet on the Los Angeles native to deliver a strong chorus or melodic line.

Ty Dolla Sign Goes Up With The Release Of Vultures

What’s more is that his emotion and perspective also shines through in a very engaging and compelling way. For example, Ty Dolla Sign’s half on the track “Talking,” plus the music video, shows his dedication and passion as a father. Contrasted with the wild statements that Kanye West espouses, this gets to the heart of their collaborative project in a much more clear and unencumbered way. As such, he’s definitely a saving grace on Vultures for those looking for something deeper, although we have to give the production its due credit, too.

If you’re interested in who else made this album what it is, you can find the features and production credits here. Do you think that the rap-R&B artist is worty of this praise and success? Let us know what you thought about him on Vultures down in the comments section below. As always, for more news and the latest updates on Ty Dolla Sign, stay logged into HNHH.

Method Man Joins Viral TikTok Lookalike For Hilarious Skit

by

Method Man is a pretty self-explanatory name: if you need something done, he knows exactly the right way to do it. While that manifested a lot when it comes to his skills as an MC, there is now another challenger who claims to have more methods, secret recipes, and unknown tips than the Wu-Tang Clan legend. Moreover, this is viral TikTok star Jordan The Stallion, a 26-year-old known for his mirror selfie videos where he gives audiences this advice on secret restaurant hacks, lost customs, and so much more. Turns out that a lot of people compared him to Mef look-wise, and they actually linked up to publish a hilarious skit.

Furthermore, it involves them trying to debunk the claim that they’re related, but they dressed the exact same for the occasion. In addition, Method Man pulls out his own secret recipe book, and teaches him how to make Little Caesar’s Cr*zy Bread. It’s overall a really funny and notable crossover, especially since folks probably didn’t expect the New York MC to be so tapped into what the kids are up to. But considering that he wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe one day, this curiosity for the contemporary isn’t surprising at all.

Method Man Becomes A TikTok Star In Hilarious Skit With Jordan The Stallion: Watch

Not only that, but this isn’t the only Zoomer crossover that Method Man had recently, although the other one is much less conventional. Fans online actually debated between who was the hotter hip-hop legend: him or LL Cool J, and it was hilarious to see twenty-somethings talk this way about lyricists they probably didn’t grow up with. It’s probably not the way in which old heads imagined that the new generation would celebrate and champion classic hip-hop culture. But we’re sure that they’ll take that dub.

However, this also falls under slightly darker context thanks to accusations of abuse against the 52-year-old. Those are still unconfirmed at press time, so take them with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, folks still want to see more fun clips like these, so we’ll see if that develops in a way that will hinder that. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Method Man.

Kanye West & Drake Fans Debate North & Adonis’ Performances On Their LPs

by

Kanye West and Drake may not have the closest or most amicable relationship these days, but they do have one unique thing in common. Both superstars included a track on their most recent LPs (Vultures and For All The Dogs, specifically) on which their children have a chance to spit some bars. North West takes the mic on “Talking,” whereas Adonis Graham has a throwback verse over some boom-bap, Cypress Hill-esque beats on “Daylight.” In fact, North recently made her Global Spotify Charts debut with this new track, and we all know how successful FATD was. Now the question is, which protégé did it better?

That’s what a lot of fans jokingly debated online, especially after news of North West’s commercial success hit. “adonis gonna run a diss track,” one fan commented under the post below, with another adding, “Kanye’s Daughter > Drakes Son.” However, folks also pointed out that Kanye West and Drake are not the first ones to do this. “Travis featured Stormi now errbody wanna ft their own kid….” one user pointed out. Both child performances are pretty different, though, so maybe “Talking” and “Daylight” can’t even be compared in this regard.

Fans Choose Between North West & Adonis Amid Kanye West’s Vultures Success: See Comments

Of course, this is all just adding to the monstrous hype and discussion around Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s finally released collab album, Vultures. Ye claims that it’s number one in 72 countries including Israel, and we’ll see next week how this chart performance translates into sales and acclaim. This is obviously a very difficult beast to tackle given the Chicago artist’s rampant antisemitism, but most folks already separated that from this rollout. Even though he made it pretty impossible, they are still (disappointingly) mutually exclusive things in folks’ minds.

Meanwhile, the 6ix God is busy on his Big As The What? tour with J. Cole right now, having a lot of fun with the Dreamville MC. He probably won’t drop something new for a while, so maybe we won’t get an Adonis verse for quite some time. But maybe this is when he and North West kick off their solo careers. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake and Kanye West.

NFL Not Demanding Taylor Swift Songs, Super Bowl DJ Claims

by

Kaskade, who will serve as the first “in-game Super Bowl DJ” later today at Super Bowl LVIII has told TMZ that he is not being pressured to play Taylor Swift music. Kaskade, who stepped in to replace Tiesto after a family emergency ruled out the “Godfather of EDM”, said that he has received no mandates on content. As long as the tracks are clean, he has free reign on what he plays. Kaskade will provide music throughout the game, only handing off the reigns to Usher for the halftime show.

Of course, the NFL has been very eager to capitalize on Swift’s popularity. Swift first started attending Chiefs games in Week 3 of the season. This led to some grumbling from fans, who felt that Swift was often prioritized over the on-field product. It’s not the first time that Swift has been mentioned this weekend. 49ers depth receiver and musician Ray-Ray McCloud told TMZ he was focused on football and not meeting Swift.

Travis Scott & Quavo Perform At Fanatics Super Bowl Party: Watch

by

Quavo and Travis Scott were among many stars at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl party on Saturday (February 10). Then even performed their smash hit “pick up the phone” with Young Thug together, and it looks like everyone present had a great time. Of course, this is far from the first time that these two link up together for a show or for a special appearance; they have a collab album, after all. For example, La Flame recently brought the former Migo out at his Miami concert during his CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour, and to no one’s surprise, they absolutely rocked the crowd.

In fact, this record of collabs and joint concerts isn’t restricted to just concerts or parties, but also more official and philanthropic fare. Travis Scott and Quavo hit the stage at Jay-Z’s blackjack tournament, in partnership with Michael Rubin for the REFORM Alliance. Lil Baby also joined the festivities, and it shows how folks are combining a lot of entertainment elements when hosting events or activities like these. It’s nice to see this balance play out, especially in an environment where artists are already having fun to begin with.

Meanwhile, their aforementioned team-up tape, 2017’s Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, is still a pretty beloved release among hip-hop fans. Sure, it’s not Watch The Throne, but a lot of fans would love it if they reunite on wax more often… which might be a solid chance. Moreover, Quavo recently celebrated the success of this first installment and teased another joint effort with Travis Scott. Considering bangers like “Motorcycle Patches,” “Modern Slavery,” “How U Feel,” and more, we can only imagine it’ll be similarly full of jams.

As far as recent activity, both MCs featured on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s new album Vultures. The Houston artist appears on “Fuk Sumn,” whereas Huncho shows up on “Paperwork.” What did you think of their contributions? Let us know in the comments section down below.

Kanye West Seemingly Confirms Venice Boat Rumors On “Fuk Sumn”

by

Kanye West has seemingly confirmed the rumors that he received oral sex from his wife during a public gondola ride in Venice last year. On “Fuk Sumn” from his new album Vultures 1, Kanye raps “Shawty wanna f-ck on somethin’?/F-ck on me/Suck on me, publicly”. This has widely been taken as a reference, and thus confirmation, of what (or who) was going down during that now-infamous boat outing in Italy.

It was never confirmed what was happening with the partially nude Kanye and crouching Bianca Censori. However, the incident led the gondola company to ban the couple and led to calls for them to be expelled from Italy for the act of public indecency. Of course, the boat ride came amidst the couple’s continually controversial Italian vacation. They faced massive public backlash for Censori’s outfits while Kanye’s face coverings sparked debates as to whether he was violating anti-terror laws.

Fans Mad Kanye West Dropped Quavo From “Fuk Sumn”

However, the lyric is not the only reason fans are discussing “Fuck Sumn”. Reports have emerged indicating that Quavo had a verse removed from “Fuk Sumn” and fans are not happy. “Quavo verse >Travis verse aside. Ty has NO aura. The aura coming off of quavo is insane next to weak a– retwist needing a– Ty,” one fan wrote. “I haven’t seen the TL defend quavo like this lol. Seems like Kanye really messed up with removing him on ‘FUCK SUM’,” added another. “Kanye robbed quavo by taking him off fuk sumn. I don’t give a single f-ck about carti, travis or even kanye’s verse on here, quavo was carrying the song bro 😞 SHYYYYT,” a third noted.

Quavo still appears on the album, featuring on the track “Paperwork”. However, people really wanted to hear him on “Fuk Sumn”, which instead features Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. How do you feel about “Fuk Sumn”? Let us know in the comments.
