Charlamagne Tha God Explains Why Drake Never Truly Lost To Kendrick Lamar

by

Charlamagne Tha God says Drake can make the argument that he never truly lost his battle with Kendrick Lamar. Discussing the viral feud with his Brilliant Idiots co-host Andrew Schulz, Charlamagne explained that Drake went against far more opponents than just Lamar.

“He’s got the perfect out to say he won the battle, even though we all know he lost,” he began. “He never engaged with Kendrick one on one except for ‘The Heart Part 6.’ ‘Push Ups’ was more than one person. The ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’ was him telling Kendrick, ‘Come on. Come with it, come with it, come with it.’ ‘Family Matters’ he talks about a bunch of different rappers. ‘Heart Part 6’ is the one where he really just talked to Kendrick directly. So, all you gotta do is say ‘I beat 20 people by myself.’”

When DJ Akademiks reposted the video on Instagram, fans had mixed reactions in the comments section. One Drake fan wrote: “Without Drake, these dudes have nothing to talk about. There savior Size 7 don’t give them nothing to talk about.” A fan of Lamar countered: “Why people keep saying 20.. like 4-5 people said something. Ross made a song no1 talks about and ONLY Kendrick went back and forth keep pushing that mysterious ’20’ narrative.”

Rod Wave Wants To Find Real Love On “25”

by

Rod Wave might have another number one album incoming with Last Lap. The St. Petersburg, Florida rapper and singer dropped of his sixth studio effort this past weekend after a tandem of singles and a tour announcement. The formula hasn’t really changed for the 26-year-old on this project, but it contains some real quality and some slight improvements on his method to some degree. Take for example “25,” which sees Rod Wave grapple with a relatable issue that a lot of people his age deal with today. If you are single in today’s current dating climate, you may be able to resonate with his message.

Wave deals with feelings of depressing solitude and crippling social anxiety. Those stem from how he’s tired of how this generation handles relationships. For those who are unaware, a lot of people in this age range tend to not treat them with as much care as they probably should. Social media is a major factor because it gives everyone the illusion that there could be something better out there. It seems that Rod is having those same problems, as he comes across as a hopeless romantic on “25.” He yearns for that true love given where he’s at in his life, and he also wonders to himself whether or not he’s ever going to find that. The relatability on this one makes it a standout, but it’s also his pained vocals and ear-grabbing melody that contribute to us revisiting this one more and more.

“25” – Rod Wave

Quotable Lyrics:

Twenty-two, many things to see and do
Twenty-three, lookin’ forward to twenty-four
Is it just me or it ain’t no love no more?
Twenty-five, what a time to be alive
Am I getting old? Why do I feel tired?
All the same old things, the same old games

Young Dro Gets Heated When His Friend Laughs At His Addiction Struggles On “The Breakfast Club”

by

Young Dro and T.I., plus a couple of their friends, recently stopped by The Breakfast Club for a compelling and almost confrontational interview. Why did things almost become heated? Well, it started when one of Dro and Tip’s friends started to laugh when the former discussed his struggles with addiction. The duo and the radio show crew laughed this off at first, but by the third time it happened, Dro turned around and threatened to slap his friend if he kept going. This led T.I. to intervene and cool things down before celebrating that Dro is almost four years sober.

You can see the whole thing go down in the Instagram post below, and you might be as surprised as we were when things started to get intense. Despite Young Dro’s past struggles with addiction, it’s clear that he’s in a much better place now and is grateful for the journey that led him to this healed state. Elsewhere, he’s dropping freestyles like his treatment of GloRilla’s “Yeah Glo!” and enjoying himself as both a figure in hip-hop culture and as a regular human being like the rest of us. In the comments of the post down below, you can see folks react to this tense moment.

Young Dro’s Tense Moment On The Breakfast Club

As for Young Dro’s co-interviewee, T.I. recently retired from performing in order to focus on his film and comedy careers. “I appreciate y’all for offering me my last working gig because I do not need the money anymore and I will not be performing,” he remarked on 96.1 The Beat. “I don’t want to do it anymore…I don’t want people to pay me to hop around and sweat for their entertainment anymore.”

Meanwhile, Young Dro and T.I. go way back, so it’s no surprise that the latter defended the former when their friend laughed about his addiction struggles. Whether it’s their 2000s work or recent link-ups like on Dro’s I Am Legend 2 project, they always have each other’s backs. Overall, this situation opened up conversations around how friends should support each other through tough times and whether or not making light of them is appropriate under certain contexts.

Outside of his personal life, Drake’s been in the midst of an up-and-down year as far as his music career is concerned. He’s been feuding with numerous artists in hip-hop, most notably of whom is Kendrick Lamar. Appearing at Tyrone Edwards’ Nostalgia Party in Toronto, earlier this month, he gave a speech about dealing with betrayal. “Let me tell you that you’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, people you thought were close to you switch up,” he began. “They might try to move funny with you, they might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you. You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again. That’s how life is. Sometimes it’s you and you alone by yourself.”

Cardi B Finally Reveals Her Surprisingly Modest Stripper Name

by

Cardi B recently had a wild birthday party for her 32nd, and she wanted to share some curious insight into her look and mood for the night. “So let me tell ya about my little thotty dress..” she captioned an Instagram post showing her and the night off. “the dress I was gonna wear for my birthday was a little too small and there wasn’t enough fabric… so I got my a** in a truck and went to Staten dolls gentlemen’s club where I worked at for four years and bought this little dress because baby NOTHING was gonna stop this night… I love the fact that they don’t see me like CARDI B.. they still treat me like CAMILLA (Fun fact.. that was my stripper name [crying-laughing emojis]).”

While some fans just thirsted for Cardi B or congratulated her on her birthday, others were very curious to finally learn what her stage name as a stripper was. Of course, this isn’t the only time that she’s reflected on her past. “Why do y’all keep writing ‘Cardi drugged, whatever, robbed men,’ other crap?” Bardi expressed back in August. “So what? I’ll do it again, b***h. I don’t give a f**k, I don’t feel bad. I don’t feel bad for no n***as. I’ll do it the f**k again. And y’all think y’all gagging. I talk about that s**t on my album too. I don’t give a f**k.”

Cardi B Reveals Her Stripper Name

“Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive,” Cardi B stated back when that controversy first sprung in 2019. “I never claimed to be perfect or come from a perfect world.” Now, she’s very much past that, choosing to eschew the negativity and struggle for a beautiful family and a superstar career.

However, that family is now at risk. Cardi B’s nasty divorce from Offset continues to serve as a hot topic of discussion and debate online. While it seems like their back-and-forth callouts diminished over time, there’s always the chance that it could explode again. Hopefully they quell that without the instigating eyes of social media on them.
