Megan Thee Stallion Confirms Working On Third Studio Album

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Grammy-winning rap star Megan Thee Stallion has been relatively quiet over the last few months. The self-described Hot Girl Coach was back outside over the weekend.

Entertainment Tonight caught up with Megan Thee Stallion at Vanity Fair’s Oscars Party on Sunday night. The ET red-carpet correspondent asked the Roc Nation-managed recording artist if she is working on any new music.

“Oh I am, new album, f### y’all hoes, bye!” responded Megan. Other celebrities such as Cardi B, Offset, Queen Latifah, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Donald Glover, Dwyane Wade, and Gabrielle Union also attended the Vanity Fair event.

Megan Thee Stallion’s upcoming project will be her first full-length effort since Traumazine dropped in August 2022. That studio LP followed her debut album, 2020’s Good News. Both Traumazine and Good News peaked in the Billboard 200 chart’s Top 5.

In addition, Megan released the Make It Hot (2017), Tina Snow (2018), and Suga (2020) EPs. Her discography also contains the Fever mixtape from 2019 and the Something for Thee Hotties compilation from 2021.

While Megan Thee Stallion continued to excel professionally, controversy and trauma consumed the last several years of her personal life. Last December, a California jury convicted Canadian rapper/singer Tory Lanez on felony charges connected to the shooting of Meg in the summer of 2020.

DatPiff Addresses Rumors The Platform Is Shutting Down

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Before Apple Music and Spotify, there was a period when many rap fans listened to their favorite artists’ music via Datpiff. The 18-year-old audio platform became the unofficial home of Hip Hop mixtapes.

This week saw speculation spread across the internet that Datpiff shut down its digital archive. On Monday night, the MediaLab-owned company issued a statement on Twitter about the discussion of its demise.

“Despite the rumors, we are happy to report that we will still be supplying you with all the mixtapes you love. We’re working through technical issues on our site and app, but still actively update our YouTube! Thanks for all the love and concerns but we promise, we are still here,” tweeted the Datpiff account.

Datpiff has 2.29 million subscribers and more than 1.6 billion views on YouTube. YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Boosie Badazz, Nicki Minaj, Moneybagg Yo, and NLE Choppa have some of the most watched videos on the verified page.

Lil Wayne’s iconic mixtape run is closely connected to Datpiff. For example, the platform offered early access to the Young Money leader’s DJ Drama-hosted Dedication 5 in 2013. Other Lil Wayne projects, like 2020’s No Ceilings 3, dropped on the app as well.

Datpiff also released 2012’s Dreamchasers 2 by Maybach Music Group-backed rapper Meek Mill. Dreamchasers 2 reportedly racked up 2.5 million downloads in 24 hours. The website temporarily crashed at the time.

J. Cole: Working With J-hope Was A “Blessing” As BTS Member Scores Highest Ever Solo Chart Entry 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Fresh off the success of his single with J. Cole, J-hope is giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of their “on the street” music video. 

The Dreamville co-founder and feature killer joined the BTS member on his latest solo offering, released earlier this month (Mar. 3).  

The behind-the-scenes video opens with the K-pop idol dancing in the streets of New York. He is then shown in his hotel room penning a letter to the “London” hitmaker whom he has cited as a major source of inspiration. 

“Being able to meet my muse, J. Cole is nerve-wracking,” J-hope admits before crafting the handwritten note. He described working with Cole as an “honor” and thanked the rapper for “making my childhood dream come true.”  

J. Cole appears later in the video, meeting up with his collaborator on the set of “on the street.” “What’s up, Cole!” J-hope said as the duo shared a few hugs with the South Korean artist barely able to contain his excitement. “It’s a blessing to be here with y’all,” Cole told J-hope via a translator.  

“When I started listening to music, the first artist I listened to was J. Cole,” J-hope revealed elsewhere in the video. “Being able to work with J. Cole after 10 years as a fan, I’m so happy. It’s just all new and I still can’t believe it.” Check out the behind-the-scenes video below and watch “on the street,” at the end of the page.  

Meanwhile, Billboard revealed “on the street” debuted at No. 60 on the Hot 100, J-hope’s highest-ever solo entry. According to the outlet, the single is the second biggest-selling song this week. It comes second only to Nicki Minaj’s new hit, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.”  

Omar Epps Recalls Embarrassing Prank Tupac Played On Him

By: London JennnCategory: News

Marlon Wayans took over as guest presenter of The Daily Show this week, playing host to several guests, including his good friend, Omar Epps. 

The two share a long history and many moments together over the years, including some they’d rather forget. However, Wayans decided to make one story public that Epps would rather have remained a secret forever.  

“Oh my goodness. Are you really bringing this up?” Omar Epps asked after Marlon Wayans began to recount a story involving Tupac.  

However, despite the protests, Wayans continued. He told the audience about a time when Epps fell asleep around Tupac, during the time they filmed the 1992 hit movie Juice together.  

“What people don’t know about ‘Pac is, he was a funny dude,” Wayans stated as Epps nodded in agreement. “Omar sleeping like that,” Wayans continued, demonstrating the actor was asleep with his mouth wide open. “And ‘Pac went and took his balls and put ‘em out and put ‘em right near Omar’s mouth.” 

“Why did you just do that?” Omar Epps asked before adding, “I was mad at ‘Pac for that though. I was super mad, like, ‘Yo, son. You really gone’ do that?’” 

Wayans was quick to interject with, “but you always get mad, you got to work on that. You got anger issues, man.”  

Nonetheless, Omar Epps stood his ground, telling Marlon Wayans he was right to be mad at Tupac.  

“If somebody take their nuts out next to your mouth while you sleep. That would have went viral right now, this is when we used to take polaroids.”

EXCLUSIVE: Jim Jones Wants Verzuz Rematch Against The LOX At Madison Square Garden

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Jim Jones recently sat down with AllHipHop’s Chuck Creekmur to discuss a myriad of topics, including the Verzuz match with The LOX. Jones admitted Dipset didn’t practice the five Ps: “Proper preparation prevents poor performance.” Therefore, he’s calling for a rematch.

“I don’t think that energy will ever be duplicated outside of New York unless we go for the rematch, you heard?” Jones said. “They way I’m thinking about it is last time, there was a lot going on. The venue was way too small. There were people on my back. There were people on people’s shoulders in there.

“I think we need proper respect of doing it in the Garden, the big Garden, with proper security, set up right so everybody have breathing room. Not using it as no excuse, but we need a rematch for the city. I’m puttin’ it out there. I’m puttin’ it out there like Rocky after he lost to Apollo Creed […] And we gonna be ready like hot spaghetti.”

Jim Jones was confident The Diplomats would emerge as the rematch’s winner. In fact, he encouraged Las Vegas bookies to wager some bets. He continued, “Let’s score it like a boxing match. Let’s get the judges. Let’s make it live. Let the people vote live. Let’s do it right. Let’s really go for it.”

The LOX originally faced Dipset on the Verzuz stage in August 2021. The LOX’s Jadakiss was raring to go from the moment it began. As The Technician The DJ told Complex at the time, “There was a moment where everyone was talking s### before it actually started. Kiss was just standing there with a look on his face like, ‘I’m going to eat these guys’ food.’ Everyone was going back and forth on the mic. Kiss was just standing there like, ‘As soon as this bell ring, I’m destroying everybody.’”

It sounds like Jones is ready for Round II. You heard? Watch the clip above.

Lil Uzi Says The Satan Reference Was A Metaphor

However, despite the criticism, Lil Uzi denied believing in Satan and said the reference was not literal but a metaphor.  

“Not actually Satan,” Lil Uzi told TMZ Monday (Mar. 13). “But just basically I make a girl do whatever I say so.” 

According to Uzi, JT understands the symbolism and didn’t take it as a literal reference.  

“She really didn’t think too much of it,” he added. She was there when she heard me make the song, she knows what I really meant.” 

As for JT, she didn’t take the lyrics too seriously. “She really didn’t think too much of it… She knows what I really mean,” he added.  

Lil Uzi also confirmed that he ignores the social media chatter adding that he doesn’t mean to ruffle any feathers with his music, but people are free to tune out.  

“I don’t even really pay attention to them even saying that,” he said, before adding, “I just say whatever I want in my songs, it’s my freedom of speech. I come from a real religious household, but me finally living my life and being an adult, I say anything I want to say. Even if I offend people, I don’t mean to offend people. But if they don’t like it, they have the option to turn it off.” 

Ebony Riley Releases Debut EP ‘Ebony’

By: Rea Davis @IamReaDavisCategory: Music

Ebony Riley is certainly bringing something new to the R&B landscape with the release of her new EP, ‘Ebony’ via Interscope Records.

The Detroit native makes her case as one of the genre’s most thrilling prospects as she delivered a 7-song project that features an unforgettable blend of flavor of today’s R&B sounds with her charming mix of sass, sensuality and sensitivity. 

It’s quite shocking that the project serves at Ebony’s debut, as the project feels like a release of a seasoned artist.

Whether it’s charged flirtation over an upbeat ’80s sample, cussing out a soon-to-be-ex lover out, or mediating on that eternal question- “Why me?” ‘Ebony’ runs a range of emotions and is sure to have listeners reaching for the replay button.

“I just want people to feel heard and understood when they listen to my music,” said Ebony. “I want to take people on a journey.” 

“Ebony Riley is making the kind of R&B that I love and appreciate. She’s a voice for women, whether they’re going through heartache or happiness. She comes from a place of honesty, vulnerability and sincerity. That’s what makes Ebony so real and relatable,” said Lenny S., SVP, Management Roc Nation.

Ebony even tapped her friend, Lori Harvey for a cameo in the kiss-off track’s video for “Deuce Deuce.” 

Although Ebony is a nine-year veteran of the modeling industry, having graced the catwalk for top fashion houses and editorial spreads including Vogue France and Harper’s Bazaar, she says music was always on the menu due to her early music education in gospel and 90s R&B. With influences ranging from The Clark Sisters, Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, Ebony is now carving out her own lane. 

To celebrate the release of the EP, Interscope and Lenny S hosted exclusive listening events in New York and Los Angeles. East & west coast attendees included Drake, Justin & Hailey Bieber. Meek Mill, A$AP Ferg, Kelly Rowland, Coco Jones, The Internet’s Syd, Lori Harvey, Muni Long and more.

NBA YoungBoy & India Royale Trade Shots Online After Lil Durk Tries To Woo Ex Back 

By: London JennnCategory: News

India Royale and NBA YoungBoy clashed online after the Baton Rouge rapper seemingly addressed India’s split from the father of her child, Lil Durk. 

Earlier this week, Durkio paid tribute to his ex with a post wishing her a happy birthday on his Instagram Story. He also admitted to messing up in the relationship and announced that he’s waiting for India to return.  

“I f##### up. She played a small part. She is really a good girl who live[s] life. I am a good guy, good husband,” he wrote. “I just never listened to her pain back when she was pregnant with Willow in the belly.”  

He continued, “So, I ain’t perfect. But I am perfect for you. I love you, and I am all ears whenever we get back into a relationship. You saved my life with you, Willow, and big Sky; out of all my kids you was there.”  

Lil Durk also urged fans not to troll India Royale, adding, “Don’t attack her. She is the best in the world.” 

However, it appears his nemesis NBA YoungBoy didn’t heed the warning. “Lol damn I know how it be when that hoe turn to a demon,” YoungBoy tweeted Monday (Mar. 13), using his alleged burner account. 

While he did not address India directly, she fired back with a flurry of tweets. “Don’t speak on me b####. I let you slide the first time,” India tweeted. “That’s still my BD. Ion play about him. Y’all can chill. Fr.” 

In another tweet, India Royale came for NBA YoungBoy’s Street credentials. “Ppl think because they was dirty and in the hood they automatically gang. You wasn’t toting no guns, you was food deprived,” she stated. 

She later clarified her tweets were aimed at NBA YoungBoy. “I’m talking about dent head,” she said, referring to his 2022 single. “That lil boy need to find somebody to play with. You was just a dirty lil bad kid. You ain’t like that Fr.” 

In a follow-up tweet, NBA YoungBoy also confirmed he was addressing India Royale, sharing a screenshot of the Realer 2 cut.  

“😂b#### I know 1 thing you ain’t gone muthafucking play with me,” he wrote. 

Meanwhile, Lil Durk has remained silent over the spat between India Royale and NBA YoungBoy. However, he took to Instagram with a video encouraging others to “get in your feelings ‘bout your hoe.”

iAmCompton is best known for his role on Black Ink Crew: Compton, opening the first tattoo shop in the city of Compton. But the artist, whose real name is Danny “KP” Kirkpatrick, is also here to remind you that he’s a rapper, and he’s ready to prove his talents on the mic are just as good as his tattoos.

Now, iAmCompton unveils the official music video for “New New,” which also serves as his latest single.

The three-minute record arrives in perfect timing as we enter the third month of the year, with a laidback vibe that will have you wanting to drive down PCH with the windows down, blasting the song.

Speaking on the record, iAmCompton states, “You ain’t seen the best of me yet. Out with the old, in with the New New. New vibes, new heights, new days. Whether it’s business moves or relationships, I’m on a whole new energy and mind frame. After every tattoo, it’s a new you!” 

The Keaton Brownlow-directed visual sees iAmCompton living his best life, but not after a rough start.

The Best of Black Fashion At The 2023 Oscars

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Features

By: Sydney Robinson @sydney.noelle

Last night’s Oscars were both historic and disappointing for black people. On the one hand, Ruth E. Carter became the first black woman to ever win two Oscars with her second award for Costume Design on “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” 

On the other hand, we had to watch Angela Bassett lose the best supporting actress award that was rightfully hers. Despite the ups and downs, the fashion was better than ever last night, with abundant beautiful looks displayed on the red carpet. Here are the best of the best. 

Tems

While her dress might have distracted the people sitting behind her during the ceremony, Nigerian Singer-Songwriter Tem’s stunned in a massive white tulle gown.

Angela Bassett

Despite her Best Supporting Actress loss, Angela Bassett won our hearts last night in this beautiful purple gown paired with a bold silver snake necklace.

Bailey Bass

“Avatar: The Way of Water” – and more importantly, Interview With The Vampire – star Bailey bass stunned in a champagne-colored gown. At only 19 years old, she has cemented herself as not only an acting powerhouse but a fashion one as well.

Bryan Tyree Henry

One of the few men to take fashion risks last night, Best Supporting Actor nominee Bryan Tyree Henry wore a beautiful white jacket embroidered in a paisley print pattern with pearls. 

Ariana Debose

Last year’s Best Supporting Actress Winner shone in an art deco disco ball dress. Debose’s look is a fun choice and a bold departure from the typical suits she sports at events. 

Michael B Jordan

While Jordan wore a simple black tuxedo like most men on the carpet this year, he chose to accent with two beautiful Tiffany and Co brooches to set himself apart from the pack.

Danai Gurira 

“The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star wore a simple satin gown to the ceremony, choosing to dramatize her look with her bold high hairdo.

Halle Bailey

Our very own little mermaid stunned in a sheer teal tulle gown to debut the first official trailer for the movie at the ceremony alongside co star Melissa Mccarthy.

Halle Berry

Former Best Actress winner – and first ever woman of color to win the award – Halle Berry looked phenomenal in a white gown with rosettes and a high slit as she presented the second winner of color Michelle Yeoh with her Best Actress win.

PBS Drops Mini-Documentary On Battle Rap Called ‘Art Of The Diss: Battle Rap Then And Now’

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

PBS is building its content catalog, now including more than just Sesame Street and selling Doo Wop CDs. As a part of its new Sound Field show, the public broadcasting service is educating the public on underground American culture, including battle rap.

According to its website, Sound Field is “a music education series that explores the music theory, production, history and culture behind our favorite songs and musical styles,” founded in 2019.

It looks at “pop, classical, rap, jazz, electronic music, folk, country, and indigenous music,” and covers and highlights “connections between genres.”

The hosts of each episode serve as video essay explainers breaking through the dynamics of the genre or movement.

One of their most recent offerings is a mini-doc called “The Art of Diss: Battle Rap Then and Now,” featuring Smack White, Arsonal da Rebel, DNA, and Polo aka Battle Rap Fanatic. Also included as a researcher on the project is AllHipHop.com’s very own battle rap expert and Verified Source/ Battle Rap Trap host, London Jenn.

Arthur “L.A.” Buckner and Linda Diaz, the hosts for this episode, endeavored to “explore the rich history of battle rap and the birth of the Ultimate Rap League (URL),” and “dive deep into the roots of this art form and its cultural significance.”

The program looked at the predecessors of battle rap, the origins of rap battles, the start of Smack DVDs, and how the culture has expanded.

One misconception that was uncovered in the doc is that battle rappers can’t make good music. This was dismissed by Arsonal da Rebel.

“A common misconception is that battle rappers can’t make music,” the Newark native stated. “They put us in this very small box.”

He continues, “It’s a stigma they got on us in … I just don’t understand because battle rappers are clearly the best writers as far as elements of being an emcee.”

Check out the following battle rappers and some of the best music they’ve made in the culture:

Arsonal Da Rebel, “Make You Feel”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je2fuLf9W0k

Arsonal Da Rebel “Proceed with Caution”

DNA “Forgotten Man”

Casey Jay “March Madness Freestyle”

Blac Chyna Serious About Change, Posts Doctor Visits To Reduce Body Parts Enhanced By Plastic Surgery

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Former exotic dancer and reality star Blac Chyna is changing her life in a big way.

After sharing with Jason Lee that she was undergoing an image makeover because her children are getting older, she has now announced she will be receiving a butt and breast reduction.

Blac Chyna, who is the mother of a son with rapper Tyga and a daughter with Rob Kardashian, took to Instagram to share her immediate efforts to change her life.

“I want you all to be a part of my life-changing journey. 🙏🏽❤️ I Reduced my breast and Gluteus maximus,” she wrote in the caption. “You all have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that.”

The influencer signed off the post with her legal name, Angela White, a nod to the return to her organic self.

She said in the video from the doctor’s office and was transparent with fans.

“Good morning, everybody,” she started the video off saying. “I’m so I’m at the doctor’s office right now and as y’all know, I’m in changing my life and changing my ways.”

Continuing, “So one of the things that I feel like is gonna take me to the next level is obviously taking some of these ass shots out.”

She explained there is a difference between shots and BBLs, saying,  one is when a doctor uses one’s own fat and transfers it and the other is when silicone has been injected into a client’s bottom.

“I just want all the ladies out there to know … do not get silicone shots because you can get sick you can die have complications and all this other crazy stuff,” she stated, adding she has been fortunate to have never received those kinds of struggles. “I haven’t had any crazy complications since I got [the shots].  I got [them] when I was 19 years old.”

This was not without issue. The procedure should have taken 4 hours but was actually 8 ½ hours. The silicone mass in her butt clogged up and kept breaking the machine.

In other videos, Blac Chyna explained she was also taking off her fake nails, reducing her botoxing, and getting her breast made smaller, saying it was the best decision she could have done.

Jimmy Kimmel Clowns Will Smith During Oscars Monologue

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Jimmy Kimmel addressed last year’s Oscars controversy in his opening monologue at the 2023 Academy Awards.

While hosting this year’s show on Sunday night, the television personality mocked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its handling of last year’s moment in which Will walked onstage and slapped presenter Chris.

“We know this is a special night for you. We want you to have fun,” Jimmy expressed in his opening monologue. “We want you to feel safe… and, most importantly, we want me to feel safe.”

He continued, “We have strict policies in place: If anyone in this theatre commits an act of violence at any point in this show, you will be awarded the Oscar for Best Actor and permitted to give a 19-minute-long speech.”

At the 2022 Oscars, Will reacted to a joke Chris made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith by slapping the presenter during the award show’s live telecast. Later, Will was awarded Best Actor for his role in “King Richard.”

“If anything unpredictable or violent happens during this ceremony, just do what you did last year – nothing,” Jimmy told the audience. “Sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug.”

The late-night show host added, “And if any of you get mad at a joke and you decide you want to come up here and get jiggy with it, it’s not going to be easy. There are a few of my friends you’re going to have to get through first.”

Jimmy called on Michael B. Jordan, Pedro Pascal, and Andrew Garfield as his backup.

Lil Yachty will become the latest rapper to perform on Saturday Night Live. The late-night sketch comedy program announced the Georgia-bred recording artist as an upcoming musical guest.

The April 1 episode of SNL will not only feature Lil Yachty hitting the Studio 8H stage in New York City. Abbott Elementary creator/actress Quinta Brunson will serve as the show’s host.

Lil Yachty released his Psychedelic Rock-influenced Let’s Start Here studio LP on January 27. The Quality Control Music-backed project earned generally positive reviews from professional music critics.

Let’s Start Here debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The body of work became Yachty’s third Top 10 entry following 2017’s Teenage Emotions (No. 5) and 2018’s Lil Boat 2 (No. 2).

Some Hip Hop fans criticized Lil Yachty’s decision to move away from the Trap sound for Let’s Start Here. The 25-year-old former McDonald’s employee responded to the negative reactions to his most recent album.

“I’m just interested in what people think. And I don’t do anything. I sit at the house all day. I swear, I don’t do s###,” said Yachty. “And I’m just curious. It doesn’t affect me. It doesn’t hurt me at all. Hate, I respect it because everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.”

Lil Yachty joins Kendrick Lamar, Willow, Megan Thee Stallion, Jack Harlow, Steve Lacy, Black Star, SZA, Lizzo, Lil Baby, and other musicians to appear on Season 48 of Saturday Night Live.

Upcoming SNL host Quinta Brunson won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 2022. Abbott Elementary won six trophies at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
