Rich Homie Quan spent over a decade crafting his artistry in the game before his untimely loss, even if the peaks of his powers came and went some years ago in many fans' eyes. But hardcore listeners know that he kept releasing music all throughout, and that he still had a lot of compelling ideas and creative decisions in his art. Moreover, many hip-hop figures have commented on how the Atlanta artist's legacy will change and evolve now that he's no longer with us, with some thinking that this reappraisal is coming off as fake from a few select MCs and producers out there. DJ Akademiks expressed a similar sentiment on his livestream. Specifically, he compared this situation to another recent rap tragedy. "There's so many Atlanta rappers who I've seen chime in, as well," Ak began. "I haven't posted all of them, honestly.

The 6 God is cleaning up his act. Adin Ross has become Funkmaster Flex for Gen Z. It may churn the stomach of some fans to read that, but it's true. Ross (and fellow streamer Kai Cenat) have become the means through which rappers tease new music. Drake is the biggest rapper in the world, and he's leaked several songs to both Ross and Kai Cenat in the last year. The latest instance of this happened on September 4. Adin Ross played a snippet of an unreleased Drake and Lil Durk song called "Discontinuing Wockhardt." It sounds like a potential hit, but it has lyrics that may catch some fans off guard.

Post Malone and Morgan Wallen got it instead. Once again, hip-hop fans are complaining about other publications and media companies passing judgement on the genre's offerings. However, this time around, we're sure that there's a specific set of rap die-hards in support of a particular Canadian superstar that aren't complaining. Moreover, Kendrick Lamar fans are outraged at how Billboard did not rank the Drake diss "Not Like Us" as "the song of the summer" for 2024. Instead, the outlet gave the crown to Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's "I Had Some Help." However, Billboard does have a metric and an explanation that details how they arrived at this conclusion.

New York/North Carolina raised rapper and singer Toosii is back with "Champs Elysees", a new single featuring Gunna. This is the first time that these two artists have crossed paths, which is kind of a shocker. Both possess the ability to rap melodically at a high level in addition to sharing similar tastes when it comes to production. Like his new album, a Toosii and Gunna collab is long overdue. It seems as that "Champs Elysees" will be landing on an upcoming album for the "Favorite Song" MC in just about a month.

They weren't bluffing, and we couldn't be happier. With so much content already releasing these days, we wouldn't blame Big Sean if some of his future plans don't end up panning out. After all, we already got a great album in Better Me Than You, an upcoming self-help-style book in 2025, and plenty of promotional content, loosies, freestyles, and press runs to boot. That's more than enough to hold us over. On that last note, though, the Sean Don recently spoke to XXL for an extensive cover story, during which he revealed a whole lot about his new LP, his personal life, and more. But one of the most interesting parts of this conversation for hip-hop fans was when he confirmed that a future plan that he had teased previously is actually panning out one day.

Specifically, the former Migo spoke on his love of Fashion Week, which city he prefers for it, and which songs pumped him up to attend the Billboard event. However, the most salient and compelling parts of the brief conversation came when he spoke on the impact that fatherhood has had on his musical and artistic endeavors, plus when he paid tribute to the memory of the late Rich Homie Quan.

When the body perceives a threat, inflammation flares up to eliminate the cause of damage. But when inflammation is out of control, it poses a health risk.

The Migos rappers had a good talk. Things have been contentious between the living members of Migos. Quavo and Offset had a falling out before the death of third member Takeoff, and their relationship has not improved since. There has been the occasional birthday post, but by and large, the two men do not speak. It appears as though the death of Rich Homie Quan has changed that.

Dame Dash went viral for how his grill fell out of his mouth as he rallied against 50 Cent, which just became an easy target for Fif. Dame Dash had a hilarious viral moment recently that came about during his latest rant against 50 Cent. For those unaware, he was ranting on Instagram Live against the G-Unit mogul's disparaging comments about him on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game with Gillie and Wallo. While Dash spoke about wanting to see if Fif was "the real deal," his grills and dental implants came out of his mouth, which 50 was obviously very quick to clown. But it turns out that this won't be a sore spot in their spat: just a funny moment.

Don't worry, folks, Cardi B is just fine. Cardi B and Offset may be going through a divorce right now, but they've celebrated their son Wave's birthday together on a couple of occasions regardless. Moreover, we don't know if the former Migo was there for the little one's recent trip to DreamWorks Water Park in New Jersey. However, you definitely couldn't miss the Bronx femcee, as she rode around in a wheelchair for the shindig. Don't fret, though: according to allegedly close sources who reportedly spoke to TMZ, she's just in her final trimester and her feet were too swollen to walk around a massive water park and mall.

There's a detailed music video, too. 6ix9ine is never far from drama. The rapper initially made waves for his outlandish appearance, and has done just about everything to stay in the spotlight. He knows that picking fights with other artists, and airing out dirty laundry on record is an easy hack when it comes to generating attention. He did it once again on September 4th. 6ix9ine decided to drop a diss track against his ex-girlfriend and fellow artist, Yailin La Mas Viral. It wasn't a rush job, either. The track comes with a music video that seemingly gets into detail about the doomed relationship.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

However, there are some former contestants who seem to be upset about their time on their show. Some are even using how their life has turned out as an excuse for going on racist rants.
