VIDEO: Kanye West Chokes Down His Pride And Apologizes To Drake Publicly

Kanye West is eager to put an end to his long-standing rivalry with Drake. After meeting up with Houston big shot and master intimidator J-Prince, his sudden desire to let bygones be bygones came about.

J Prince is a career entrepreneur and the president and CEO of Rap-a-Lot Records. He’s also credited with getting Drake started by bringing him together with Lil Wayne and Birdman.

There have been reports suggesting that J. Prince was working with Kanye West and Drake to resolve their beef, which was confirmed today on social media.

Kanye West is seen in a video posted to his Instagram, with Prince at his side and appears to be reading something off of his phone.

In a his message, he stated that he would be squashing the beef with Drizzy and requested to join him onstage in Los Angeles on December 7th to commemorate the two biggest releases of 2021.

Kanye moves on to say that the gathering will bring attention to Larry Hoover’s release, demonstrating that we can accomplish more when we work together.

The video was compelling, yet it had “hostage” vibes and appeared forced.

What are your thoughts on it?

‘Take Care’ by Drake Becomes The Third Hip-Hop Album To Spend 450 Weeks On The Billboard 200 Chart

Aubrey Drake Graham has just earned another significant career distinction to his ever-growing list of accomplishments in the music industry. This week, Take Care, Drake’s 2011 studio album, joined an extremely exclusive list this week.

Take Care is presently charting at #88 on the latest Billboard 200. The album has spent a total of 450 weeks on the Billboard 200, making it one of the longest-lasting albums in history.

Only two other Hip Hop albums have charted for at least 550 weeks. Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits has spent 550 weeks on the Billboard 200, which is the fifth longest period in history.

In June, Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D City surpassed the 450-week mark on the Billboard 200 charts. The 2012 album from the West Coaster is presently sitting at 468 weeks in total on the chart.

Take Care became just the second solo studio album by a Hip Hop artist to reach the 450-week club, following Good Kid, M.A.A.D City.

Last year, Drake’s Nothing Was the Same, released in 2013, spent its 350th week on the Billboard 200 album chart. Only Eminem has more albums stay for at least 300 weeks.

With 631,000 first-week sales, Drake’s Take Care premiered at #1 on the Billboard 200 in 2011. Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Rihanna, Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and André 3000 lent their talents to the Grammy-winning album.

J. Prince Claims Hes Being Aided By Drake and Kanye In His Effort To Liberate Larry Hoover THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

J. Prince Claims He’s Being Aided By Drake and Kanye In His Effort To Liberate Larry Hoover

Larry Hoover, the notorious alleged crime lord, has spent years in jail. Some well-known figures, on the other hand, have been working tirelessly to get him out. Rapper Kanye West has been one of those celebrities bringing attention to Hoover’s case; however, it appears that Drake, Kanye West, and J. Prince are combining forces.

Who Is Larry Hoover?

Hoover was the leader of a Chicago gang called Supreme Gangsters, which joined with another to form Black Gangster Disciple Nation. In 1973, Hoover was sentenced to 150 to 200 years in prison for murdering a drug dealer, Williams Young. On February 26, 1973, Young was murdered. Hoover and his accomplice, Andrew Howard, were indicted for the crime. In Illinois, Hoover was incarcerated in Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill at the maximum-security level.

In his lifetime, Hoover served as a model of success for many who were incarcerated; he became a role model and an inspiration to those within the prison system. He was also able to encourage his outside followers to put an end to the violence and instead advocate for education.Hoover urged members of the Disciples to get an education, acquire a profession, and become model citizens in their communities. The gang that used to distribute narcotics and promote lawlessness is now known as Growth & Development rather than Gangster Disciple.

In a recent post shared on Instagram, J. Prince, a music industry tycoon, claimed that he’s being aided by Drake and Kanye to formulate a strategy to get Hoover freed from jail, as cited by The Source.

It’s still unclear what the details of the plan to set Hoover free entail. Hopefully, with the help of Drake, Hoover will be let out soon. Keep an eye out for further updates!!!

On the song Party Time Consequence disses Drake Hours after Kanye West and Andre 3000 Leak THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

On the song “Party Time”, Consequence disses Drake Hours after Kanye West and André 3000 Leak

Kanye West and Consequence have been friends for over 15 years. Despite their differences (Cons split from G.O.O.D. Music in 2011 on bad terms), their relationship has withstood every storm. So it’s no surprise that he is firing back with a new diss song called “Party Time.”

The song was released on Saturday night (September 4), hours after Drake leaked the Kanye West and André 3000 collaboration “Life Of The Party,”.

In the first minute, Consequence makes a slick allusion to Pusha T’s seething Drake diss in which he claimed that OVO boss had fathered a kid with ex-soft porn actress Sophie Brassaux. He also accused him of shamelessly pursuing Kanye West’s wife, Kim Kardashian.

“You might as well say you’ll take the next man’s life,”

“Cause that’s the dark place that makes most men fight

But from the outside, a person can tell

You going through your own personal hell

Your parents out here like Sonya and Dell

And ever since Sophie had a story to tell

You been taking Ls and coming out the cage

And thought we couldn’t tell you were coming after K.”

Last month, a purported feud between Drake and Kanye West was reignited when Trippie Redd’s song “Betrayal” featured Drake throwing a few shot at Kanye. From there, it became more petty, with Kanye posting Drake’s Toronto address on social media and Drake giggling hysterically as he mocked himself.

But it took a step up when Drake leaked the “Life Of The Party” track, an outtake from Donda. It prompted André 3000, who rarely communicates on social media, to react and explain why it wasn’t included in the final album.

“A few weeks ago Kanye reached out about me being a part of the Donda album,” he wrote. “I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away in 2013. We both share that loss.

“I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album but, unfortunately, I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited ‘clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw, original also available. “So, sadly, I had to be omitted from the original album release.”

He called it “unfortunate” that it was leaked just as Kanye West and Drake were squabbling, but he said he’d be open to collaborating with both artists in the future, as well as Lil Baby, Tyler, The Creator, and JAY-Z.

Andre 3000 Issues a Statement in Response to the Drake Kanye West Feud addressing Life of the Party THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

André 3000 Issues a Statement in Response to the Drake + Kanye West Feud, addressing “Life of the Party”

It’s unusual to see André 3000 on social media these days. These days, the Outkast frontman mostly prefers to stay solitary, occasionally playing his flute and minding his own business throughout various cities. However, while acting as a guest DJ for SiriusXM’s Sound 42 radio program, Drake inadvertently leaked an unreleased Kanye West and André 3000 song called “Life Of The Party.”

Kanye freestyled the track, which was originally supposed to be on Donda, and addressed Drake directly. It’s very likely he decided to release it as part of their social media tussle.

Three Stacks explained why his verse wasn’t included in a statement shortly after the song started circulating.

“A few weeks ago Kanye reached out about me being a part of the Donda album,” he wrote. “I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away in 2013. We both share that loss. I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album but, unfortunately, I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited ‘clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw, original also available.

“So, sadly, I had to be omitted from the original album release. The track I received and wrote to didn’t have the diss verse on it and we were hoping to make a more focused offering for the Donda album but I guess things happen like they are supposed to.

André went on to say how disappointed he was that “Life Of The Party” was released at the height of Kanye and Drake’s perceived rivalry.

“It’s unfortunate that it was released in this way this way and two artists that I love are going back and forth,” he continued. “I wanted to be on Certified Lover Boy too. I just want to work people that inspire me. Hopefully I can work with Kendrick on his album. I’d love to work with Lil Baby, Tyler and Jay-Z. I respect them all.”

Donda was given her name in honor of Kanye West’s late mother Dr. Donda West, who passed away in 2007. André 3000 understands this all too well. He mentioned that he had lost his own mother in 2013 and dedicated the lyrics to her memory.

“Hey Miss Donda, if you ran into my mama, please tell her I said, ‘Say something,’” he raps. “I’m starting to believe ain’t no such thing as Heaven’s trumpets/No after-over, this is it, done/If there’s a Heaven, you would think they’d let you speak to your son.”

Trippie redd snuck a no. 1 hip hop album onto the charts before the clb donda craziness hit. THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Trippie redd snuck a no. 1 hip hop album onto the charts before the ‘clb’ + ‘donda’ craziness hit.

In 2021, Trippie Redd may be a rapper with fantastic timing.

After the release of his fourth album Trip at Knight on August 20, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, The “Dark Knight Dummo” rapper notched his fourth No. 1 on the chart with 81,000 equivalent album units in its first week.

The Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart also includes ten of the album’s songs.

The collections of artists on the big screen include Lil Uzi Vert, SoFaygo, Playboi Carti, Juice WRLD and XXXTENTACION, as well as Drake. The latter collaboration arguably sparked the present streaming wars between Kanye West and Certified Lover Boy, with both artists releasing albums over an extended period.

On the track “Betrayal,” on the Trip At Knight album, Drake fired off a quip heard throughout the world: “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know/Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go/Ye ain’t changin’ shit for me, it’s set in stone” — a shot fired at Donda’s unpredictable release.

The lyrics were as intense to Kanye West as the Michael Jordan meme was, and he allegedly leaked Drake’s house and location, prompting him to visit his Toronto headquarters with Donda advertisements.

The Trip At Knight’s Billboard feat succeeds previous albums A Love Letter to You 3, A Love Letter to You 4 and 2020’s Pegasus, which will undoubtedly bring great news for diehard fans across the country.

Drake Future and Young Thug Get Way 2 Sexy for a New Video With Nba Star Kawhi Leonards Help THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Drake, Future, and Young Thug Get ‘Way 2 Sexy’ for a New Video With Nba Star Kawhi Leonard’s Help

On Friday (September 3), Drake delivered his long-anticipated Certified Lover Boy, followed by the release of the first music video. The song “Way 2 Sexy” from CLB features Future and Young Thug, who are known as Super Slimey.

Mr. Meyers serves as the main director, while Drake takes on a number of roles, including taking an aerobics class, transitioning to Rambo, getting older as he walks the beach with his protruding stomach out, becoming a pirate, and even releasing his own line of fragrance.

Fans had heard “Way 2 Sexy” was one of the songs being recorded in August, when Akademiks uploaded video footage from the shoot and claimed it would be released as a single to compete with Kanye West’s Donda release. However, they decided to save the TM88-produced song for CLB instead.

Drake finally releases his album after months THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Drake Finally Releases His Album After Months

Drake (34) released his long-awaited new album on Friday. ‘Certified Lover Boy’ is the Canadian rapper’s sixth album and the first since his 2018 hit album ‘Scorpion’.

The album contains a total of 21 songs and numerous collaborations with other artists. Among others, Lil Baby, Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Future, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla $ign and Kid Cudi.

Certified Lover Boy was supposed to be released in January, but Drake postponed the release several times.

Kanye Wests Manager Says He Could Squash the Beef With Drake Depending on Clb Jabs THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Kanye West’s Manager Says He Could Squash the Beef With Drake Depending on ‘Clb’ Jabs

Kanye West and Drake resurrected their feud in August, with several jabs emerging from Drizzy’s verse on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal,” which was released in January. Despite all of the insults launched, Kanye’s manager Abou “Bu” Thiam thinks they have a chance to put it behind them.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Bu offered his views on the situation preceding Certified Lover Boy’s anticipated release on Friday (September 3).

“It’s two creatives taking jabs at each other, but they could rectify it, man,” he admitted. “Yeah, of course. You know, we’ll see. His album comes out I think in a couple days … Friday. Depending on what he says on his album, we’ll see.”

He agreed with the interviewer’s assessment that it was too soon to judge since Drake might have future disses up his sleeve.

Also, while answering a question, Bu also spoke about Chris Brown and Soulja Boy’s disappointment with Kanye West for not using their vocals on Donda.

“It’s Kanye’s album, man,” he said. “He’s painting his picture. You can’t tell someone to use your verse or not use your verse. There’s 10001 artists that didn’t make the album. That’s why I was so surprised when I heard the responses from all these artists. I’m like, ‘People do that shit all the time.’ No disrespect, Chris [Brown] is like my little brother, that’s family, Soulja Boy… it’s all love and it wasn’t intentional.”

Bu also hinted at Kanye West’s issues with Universal Music Group, which he says released Donda without his permission.

Kanye West has put up Donda Ads in Toronto in an apparent bid to boost his new songs popularity THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Kanye West has put up ‘Donda’ Ads in Toronto, in an apparent bid to boost his new song’s popularity

Kanye West has escalated his feud with Drake to new heights — literally.

In past month, the Hip Hop legends renewed their long-brewing rivalry after Drake attacked Kanye West on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal,” to which Ye responded by releasing Drake’s home address on social media, a move that received a Joker-like giggle from the OVO rapper.

Kanye West and Drake are now competing for billboard space, on Drizzy’s home turf.

Kanye West promoted his new album on Wednesday by putting up Donda advertisements all over Downtown Toronto. Kanye’s billboards outnumber and tower above those purchased by Drake to advertise his own upcoming project Certified Lover Boy, which will be released Friday (September 3).

Of course, it’s not unusual for a major label artist to acquire billboard space to promote their newest project. But every move in Kanye West and Drake’s simmering feud seems to have more significance.

For example, earlier this week, Drake appeared to take a planned swipe at Mr. West when he reposted Soulja Boy’s photo on Instagram, which is an odd choice given that Big Draco has spent the bulk of this week taking potshots at Kanye for removing his verse from Donda.

Despite the fact that his backyard is infiltrated by Donda advertisements, Drake’s Certified Lover Boy billboards are certainly not going unnoticed.
