Funkmaster Flex has made no secret of one simple fact — he's got an opinion, and he's not afraid to share it. And while he's occasionally ruffled a few feathers, many have found Flex's honesty to be refreshing. After all, this is the man who has arranged enough classic freestyles in his day to merit the benefit of the doubt.
The legendary radio host recently sat down for an interview on Rap Radar's Cigar Talk show, and while he covered a variety of topics — including a scathing assessment of Cardi B's rapping ability — one of the most interesting came from his reflection on Drake and Meek Mill's infamous beef. By his own admission, he actually played a role in stoking the fires. Fans likely remember Flex playing a “10 Bands” reference track during his show, attempting to validate Meek Mill's ghostwriting accusations at the onset of the feud.

When one of rap's most celebrated MCs and producers come together, you know you're about to get something special. Talib Kweli and Diamond D have been revving up for the release of a brand new collaborative project, Gotham. The rap titans emerged last week with the release of their latest single, “Attention Span” ft. Skyzoo. Diamond D brings a hardcore and gritty instrumental to the table for Talib Kweli and Skyzoo to flex their pen game over. Slick bars, tight flows, and top-tier production are exactly what this trio of artists brings to the table on this record. “You don't pay attention, man/ That's why your pockets is the size of your attention span,” Talib raps off the rip.
Check out the latest track from Talib and Diamond D below.

They made us underrated icons in front of a tripod

Sauce Walka has been unveiling project after project this past week. In a matter of days, the rapper shared four projects including God Of Texas. Though he kept the majority of features within his inner circle on all four projects, God Of Texas did include a highly anticipated collaboration with Harlem's own, A$AP Rocky. Together, the pair deliver an eerie yet luxurious banger where they detail their fashion fetishes, as you could only expect from Rocky.
The collaboration should come as no surprise since Rocky's appreciation for Houston culture has been well-documented. The pair were previously spotted shooting a music video which built anticipation for a collaboration. Even with the amount of influence that came from Houston, Sauce Walka offered praise during an interview last year for always giving credit where it's due.

You ain't even gang, how you got thug ties?
You don't even bang, how you got blood ties?
Man, fuck it,..

Behind the flamboyant fashion choices and sometimes controversial rants, Sauce Walka has always had a surplus of music ready to release, and the fans are always welcome to it. Last week, the rapper came through with back-to-back projects which included a solo album, a collaborative tape with El Trainn, and R&B Sauce.
A fourth project emerged during the prolific run last week. God Of Texas is a 20-song body of work that brings Sauce Walka to the forefront alongside a slew of collaborators. Major names like Trippie Redd and A$AP Rocky appear while the majority of the features come from Sauce's list of frequent collaborators like Peso Peso, Rico Glizzy, Sancho Saucy, El Trainn, and more.
Check out the latest project from the self-proclaimed God Of Texas below.

Iyanna “Yaya” Mayweather gave birth to her first child Kentrell Jr. earlier this year, welcoming the adorable baby boy into the world with her ex-boyfriend Youngboy Never Broke Again. If you've followed any of the stories surrounding Youngboy's love life, you already know it's a pretty complicated situation with the 21-year-old incarcerated rapper. He's got seven children with different women, but he's not presently tied to any one of them.
In recent months, Youngboy has been spotted with Jazlyn Mychelle, who has proudly showed off their love on social media. They're still in the earlier stages of their relationship, which is surely challenging right now with all of the legal obstacles facing the rapper. All the while, Yaya Mayweather continues to swoon over YB, seemingly angling to win him back. Sending a subliminal shot at Jazlyn online, Youngboy's girlfriend's older sister made sure that Floyd Mayweather's daughter thought twice before c..

Madonna is moving into The Weeknd's old home in the Hidden Hills, purchasing the mansion for approximately $19 million, according to multiple reports.
The home is located in the Hidden Hills, which is the same neighborhood that the Kardashian sisters call home. It used to belong to The Weeknd before he listed it on the market for nearly $25 million. The selling price marks a stark reduction from what the artist was seeking. However, considering he bought the home for just over $18 million in 2017, he doesn't appear to be losing much money.
TMZ reports that the house has over 12,000 square feet of living space, including nine bedrooms, nine-and-a-half bathrooms, a gigantic pool, a full-sized basketball court, and more beautiful amenities. Sitting on over three acres of land, Madonna will have more than enough room to do whatever she pleases in the vast backyard.
The Weeknd has already locked down his next home, signing the dotted line on a gorgeous penthouse apartment for $2..

MoneyBagg Yo had one of the hottest songs of the last year with “Said Sum”. The star of HotNewHipHop's latest digital cover story, Bagg always has a sense of what's going to be the next biggest slang term, getting on top of all the trends in his music. His latest single “Hard For The Next” with Future has been going off in recent weeks but still, “Said Sum” remains a favorite from his catalog.
This week, Blac Chyna felt like flexing her skills in the studio to the record, filming a low-budget video for her new remix of “Said Sum”. The remix is officially out now and, already, it's been getting some pretty mixed reviews. While Chyna's core fanbase is glad to see her diving head-first into her passion, rap fans aren't in love with her flows, commenting that she's improved as an artist but that she still sounds disinterested at times.

UPDATE:
Columbia Records has tweeted that the removal of Lil Nas X's “Call Me By Your Name” is “out of our control.” Read their statement below.
Is the current #2 song in the country being removed from streaming services this week? According to Lil Nas X, his new single “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)”, which is about a same-sex relationship, could be taken down from the internet tomorrow.
The pop star has been surrounded by all sorts of controversy related to the song, but most of the backlash has to do with the official music video. In the clip, Lil Nas X rides a pole from Heaven to Hell before giving the devil a lapdance. Additionally, the rapper also released 666 pairs of his sneaker collaboration with MSCHF, which used real human blood in the design. Apparently, the marketing plan that was employed by the hitmaker might have been a little too risky because he says the song is about to be removed from Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, and other services.

The “Whoopty” beat circulated drill scenes across the globe (when it wasn't called 'Whoopty') but it was Staten Island's CJ that brought it into mainstream consciousness. Even non-drillers began tackling the beat and putting their own spin on the record. The latest to do it is none other than the Bronx's rising star DreamDoll who came for every rapper's neck — male or female. Her delivery cuts deeper than the bars themselves but Doll's boastful presence on the track feels even bigger over this particular beat.
The new freestyle arrives days after she assisted CJ on the release of his single, “Lil Freak” which earned over a million views in a matter of days.
Check out DreamDoll's remix to “Whoopty” below.

Don't get this pretty shit confused
You don't want me act a fool
You might end up on the news
Make a n***a buy me every bag
But this rap shit, I'm payin' dues

Earlier this year, YFN Lucci was arrested and hit with murder and gang-related charges. The rapper is accused of being involved in the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old man in Atlanta. With heavy bond conditions in place, he was released from prison but prosecutors are now trying to keep him in custody until the murder case comes to an end.

Vivien Killilea/Getty ImagesPer TMZ, prosecutors on the case are seeking to get YFN Lucci's bond revoked for allegedly violating his bond conditions. The Atlanta rapper is accused of having paid a visit to a strip club and a recording studio which prosecutors say breach the terms of his agreement. They said the rapper hit the club shortly after he posted bond, and later visited the studio on the same night. Prosecutors added that the club they said he went to is the same club that's being investigated for a gang-related shooting.
In addition to allegations of violating his conditions, court documents reveal that the prosecutors also claimed..
