Dame Dash Wonders Why JAY-Z Hasn’t Spoken Up Against Diddy Amid “Freak Off” Rumors

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Despite feuding with JAY-Z over the sale of his shares in Roc-A-Fella, Dame Dash says the legendary rapper is still a “pillar of hip-hop” and doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him. The topic arose for Dame while speaking with America Nu about the allegations surrounding Diddy. Dame says he wants to know why JAY hasn’t spoken out about the situation.

“Watching what’s going on with Puff, it doesn’t feel good,” Dame began. “I don’t want to see someone… die or be tortured. I’m not going to celebrate the pain of anybody, any human being, even if they deserve it. The things that they’re saying… they’re terrible. It’s hard for me to even think that any of those things can be true. I don’t want them to be true. They’re saying they’re going to pick him up next year. I don’t want to see that man go to jail.”

From there, Dame discussed the hypothetical idea of JAY-Z getting roped up into the allegations. “As much as he’s been to me unfair toward, or not unfair, the way he’d be f*cking with my money, I want to hope that that’s the worst that he’s been doing,” Dame said. “I would never want to hear like, ‘Jay at the freak off party’, that’s crazy. The sh*t they saying, and I just be wondering why nobody… he don’t say nothing about it.” He added: “It would be such another big blow for Hip-Hop, regardless of what, perception-wise, Jay is also a pillar of Hip-Hop, and if anything bad happens to him, then it’s really going to look crazy for Hip-Hop. Jay’s supposed to be my son’s godfather. How does he do that to Boogie’s godson’s father?”

Chrisean Rock Reacts After Timbaland Flips Her Gospel Snippet Into A New Song

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A few days ago, Chrisean Rock shared a moving post to Instagram. In it she essentially tells her fans that she’s looking to do better for herself and for her son. How is she doing this you ask? The all-powerful spirit above. “Embracing a new life and walking in purity is a beautiful journey, one that reflects the transformative power of God’s love and grace. As you continue to shine brightly in your purity, remember that it’s a reflection of God’s work within you, drawing you closer to Him and to the life He has envisioned for you”. Furthering her commitment to Him, Rock sat down with Pastor Bryant for an enlightening conversation, according to The Shade Room.

During their interview, she talked about her incarceration, getting rid of bad habits, and this new path she’s on. Furthermore, the baby momma to Blueface also mentioned how she’s looking to make what she calls “hood gospel”. She even previewed a song she has been working on, giving Pastor Bryant some raw vocals mid-interview. People have been ridiculing her still, even though she’s looking to make life-altering changes for the better. However, there are some who were inspired by her revelation, including hitmaking producer, Timbaland.

He loved what he heard from Rock so much –especially the snippet– so he turned those lyrics and some talking points and turned it into a powerful song of his own. Fans underneath The Shade Room‘s repost of this Timbo clip were loving it, saying, “Now THATS FIRE I’m ready to stream ASAP”. “YAHWEH YAHWEH, there’s only one way and it’s God’s way love this”. Chrisean also came across the snippet and replied with a brief but appropriate reaction, “Gods Plan”. While we absolutely need this song, we are also happy to see Rock for moving in this way. We hope she will continue to move down this path of betterment.

What are your thoughts on Timbaland creating a song from a Chrisean Rock interview with a pastor? Do you need this to officially release? Could Rock be turning a corner? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

On this date in 1991, legendary Hip Hop collective Public Enemy dropped their fourth full-length album entitled Apocalypse ’91…The Enemy Strikes Back on the Def Jam/Columbia imprint.

Drawn from the fictional movies Apocalypse Now and Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back, the Bomb Squad produced project was a rush job according to Hank Shocklee, having to re-create the production after the discs from the past five years with album contents were stolen. “Once you lose all your data, it’s very difficult to get that data back…you may get some of it back, but you’ll never get the complete set. You won’t even know what the complete set is, because there’s data in there you didn’t really know you had,” Shocklee said of the missing project.

The certified platinum album offered up a couple of timeless singles including “Shut Em Down”, “Can’t Truss It” and “By The Time I Get To Arizona”, where in the video the depicted killing of Arizona Governor Evan Mecham was seen in response for not recognizing MLK Jr. Day as a national holiday.

Salute to the entire P.E. for this timeless 14 track piece of Hip Hop history!
