Kanye West Potential World Tour Locations Revealed After He Complains About No One Wanting To Book Him

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has been very vocal about people blackballing him over the last year or so. Overall, Ye has been having issues due to his rampant anti-semitism. Although he seems to have apologized for these transgressions, there are some who are still upset with him, and understandably so. However, with Ye dropping a new album on Friday, it seems like the artist is running into complications. He wants to tour this new album, and according to the legendary artist, that has proven to be almost impossible.

In a video posted to his Instagram story, Ye lamented the fact that he hasn’t been able to secure any venues for a tour. While he did get the United Center in Chicago for his Vultures listening event on Thursday, he can’t get any other locations. He hints that no one wants to book him due to his comments from late 2022. Overall, he looked fairly upset in his video, and it is clear that he wanted some form of help from his friends. Luckily for him, it ended up coming in droves.

Kodak Black Disses Boosie on New Single “11am in Malibu”

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black Says He's Drake's Favorite Rapper | The Source

Kodak Black has fired a new diss off to Kodak Black. The drop, “11am in Malibu,” recorded over Drake’s “8AM in Charlotte,” reignites the 2023 beef between the two that stems from Black working on a single with Tekashi 6ix9ine.

“And niggas been scared of me from ever since I remember
that’s what the streets tell me
I don’t even care about that shit, though,
I’m tryna get rich, ho
Who Boosie think he is? Who you niggas think you being?”

– Boosie on n”11am in Malibu”

In Aug. 2023, Boosie Badazz officially dissed Kodak Black. The words can be heard on the “Ungrateful” track on his Goin Thru Some Thangs album.

Everything that you rap, you ain’t never did that
‘Cause the other n***a talking, he a certified rat

Kodak Black collaborated with 6ix9ine, and it upset a certain pocket of the hip-hop community. In the upset pile is Boosie.

Following the collaboration, Black reposted a critical video of Boosie’s behavior. Adding the story to his Instagram story, Black called Boosie a clown, writing, “Poosie a [clown emoji].”

Boosie had a swift response on Twitter, calling him “Kodak Thee Stallion.”

“SOLD U SOUL FA A MILLION!!” Boosie wrote. “I KNOW U A TAKE A DICK for 20 MILLION SMH U BEEN WEIRD!! U AINT NEVER BEEN NO STREET N-GGA U A CAPPER RAPPER LOL NICKELODEON ASS N-GGA LOL N-GGA SHOULDA STUCK THEY FINGER N YO ASSHOLE #KODAKTHESTALLION.”

Kodak Black’s collaboration with 6ix9ine may rub some wrong, but he was compensated well. According to Wack 100, he orchestrated the new single, and Black was paid “a whole lot of money” and a special gift from Wack.

Wack 100 reveals Black arrived late at night, and the rapper had “fire in his eyes” and had a “man-to-man” conversation with 6ix9ine.

“Right before he left, shit, we kept it gangsta,” Wack 100 said. “He came in a black car and he left in a Rolls Royce. tossed him the keys, tell him ‘go home.’ He put his baby seat in that bitch, jumped in the driver’s seat.”

The new single is titled “Shaka Laka.” You can hear the single and Wack’s detail of the new single below.

The distaste for snitches runs through Boosie Badazz’s entire family. Boosie’s son, Tootie Raww, throws shots at Kodak Black for teaming with 6ix9ine on a new single.

“@Kodakblack how u promise me a song then don’t do my song and hope on a song wit a rat smh,” Raww wrote on Instagram.

Today In Hip Hop History: The Source Magazine Remembers the Legacy of Big Pun 24 Years Later

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On this date in 2000, the Hip Hop community was shocked and saddened by the untimely death of lyrical giant Christopher “Big Pun” Rios. As the premiere artist for Fat Joe’s Terror Squad, Pun became the first Latino Hip Hop artist to go platinum and discovered TS’ First Lady, Remy Ma.

Pun is regarded as one of the game’s best lyricists ever to do it, or as he is aptly described, one of the best “dead or alive.” His only two full-length releases, Capital Punishment and Yeeahhh Baby, are considered classic albums among true Hip Hop aficionados and continue to get radio play on his smash singles “I’m Not A Player” and the posthumous “It’s So Hard.”

Rest In Peace to Pun, and sincere condolences to the Rios family from the entire Mind Squad.

#RIPBIGPUN
