Drake Called Out For Creepy Behavior After Posting Photo of A Random Woman On Instagram
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Cole Burston / Getty Drake is being called out for his “creepy” ways after sharing a photo of a random woman on the gram. Drake Needs To Chill The Canadian Hip-Hop star is currently on vacation in St. Tropez, having the time of his life while snuffing out bees, but some people feel he overstepped his boundaries. Before the transgression of someone’s privacy, Drake happily shared a video of himself singing along with a cover singer. Things went left for Drake after he shared a photo of a random white woman in his Instagram stories on Thursday (Jul.21). In the caption for the post, he dropped a typical Drizzy bar, “Tried to airdrop this woman a pic of herself cause she’s a dime.” Drake might have thought posting the woman seated with an unknown male t...
Drake Trolls Joe Budden All The Way From Saint-Tropez With ‘Pump It Up’ IG Video
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cole Burston / Getty Apparently, Drake is out here playing around in Joe Budden‘s face all the way from Europe and, well, it’s kind of funny—like corny funny, but funny. While the “Hotline Bling” rapper was in Saint-Tropez with his team, he posted a video of people dancing to Budden’s 2003 party non-classic “Pump It Up.” Related Stories As you can see, most people in the place were just standing around while the song was playing, but there was one blissfully rhythmless white woman vibing to it and a Black dude going full Breakin’ to a song that does not require going full Breakin’. So, of course, Drake had a good time with the non-spectacle. “Where else, Joey, would you have them going so crazy?” Drake says in the video. “They’re going so nuts t...

A Beyoncé Dance Album? Here’s 6 House Music Producers Who Would Thrive On “Renaissance”
It’s album release month for Beyoncé, and the world is waiting on bated breath. After all, Renaissance‘s lead single, “Break My Soul,” has already made history. Queen Bey is now the first ever woman to release 20 Top 10 hits as a solo artist as well as 10 as a member of a group. Not to mention the house-minded rhythm and groove in “Break My Soul,” which samples a timeless dance anthem. With her previous albums, Beyoncé has counted artists like Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West as collaborators. And based on the creative direction Renaissance seems to be headed in, it’s fair to wonder whether or not house music producers are next up in her storied career. Here are six artists we think would slay on Beyoncé&#...

Drake Confidently Swerves Into Dance Music Lane With ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ [Review]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cole Burston / Getty Drake doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone at this stage, although rumblings crop up that he wants to be respected as a top-tier lyricist before all is said and done. That statement is why the Canadian superstar’s surprise latest album, Honestly, Nevermind, is a polarizing yet enjoyable shift in sound as Drizzy confidently swerves into a different lane. Honestly, Nevermind is first and foremost, not a Hip-Hop album as many expected. Further, it isn’t the only time Drake has toyed with House and Dance rhythms, but it is the first time he’s committed so much time to the effort. The response to the OVO honcho’s seventh album bordered on comical with notable figures such as Irv Gotti pondering the end of Hip-Hop as we know it because ...
Here Are 10 of Drake’s Most Candid Lyrics on His New Album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’
Like most Drake albums, Honestly, Nevermind fixates on what happens with love: when it ends, when it begins and the messy middle passage in between. The 14-track offering — which landed Drake his 11th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 — is laced with a number of dance- and Caribbean-inspired beats, and only includes one feature (21 Savage on “Jimmy Cooks”). Amid the frank, status update-worthy love lyrics on the album, he also makes room to address his haters on “Sticky.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news There are many intricate moments on the album which, true to the set’s title, encapsulate a theme of telling the brutal truth. On the album’s description on Apple Music, Drizzy explains what he tried to accomplish with Honestly, Nev...
The Sky Isn’t Falling: Irv Gotti Says Drake’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ Will Bring Hip-Hop’s Decline
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pacific Press / Getty Irv Gotti is a prominent voice of the culture and has proven chops as an executive with an ear to the streets. However, the veteran music executive shared concerns that Hip-Hop’s sound is on the decline in the wake of Drake’s latest album. TMZ caught up with Irv Gotti earlier this week at LAX, and the topic of Drizzy’s new Honestly, Nevermind project came about. According to Gotti, the Canadian superstar’s move to push House and Dance music vibes on the new project sparked a new search for the next DMX. Although Drake has toyed with these types of sounds before, and with similar pushback, he has never done an album that largely leaned into this style. Related Stories A sentiment heard by many online is that the album was a complete l...
Wax Motif Unveils New Remixes of Music From Drake’s “Honestly, Nevermind” Album
It was only a matter of time before the remixes began rolling in. Last week Drake released his seventh LP, Honestly, Nevermind, which quickly became Apple Music’s biggest dance album of all-time. Considering it contains a surprising amount of house music, one of the genre’s leading producers, Wax Motif, has unveiled four new edits within just a week of the album’s drop. Having always bridged the gap between dance music and hip-hop, Motif perfectly transformed the minimal house tracks into bouncy, club-ready reworks. While he put a tech house twist on “Massive” and “Sticky,” we then hear his signature bass house sound in his remix of “Keeper” and a more breezy style in his flip of the salsa-inspired “Ties That Bind.” “Drake is one of...
Drake’s Dance Album Shatters Apple Music First-Day Streaming Records
Break out the champagne, Champagne Papi. Drake‘s newest and seventh studio album Honestly, Nevermind has broken Apple Music‘s record for the most first-day streams for a dance album. And it only took one hour. Since the 35-year-old hip-hop superstar only gave one day’s notice before he released the album, achieving such a record is quite impressive, even considering Drake’s prominence in the contemporary music landscape. A departure for Drake, Honestly, Nevermind has been simmering in a melting pot of mixed reviews since its surprise release on Friday, June 17th. Executive-produced by Grammy-winning house music artist Black Coffee, the album is dominated by electronic-focused production from the likes of Coffee, Carnage, Rampa, &ME and Alex Lustig, among others....
Kaytranada Trends After Beyoncé’s “BREAK MY SOUL” Leaks, House Music Twitter Has Thoughts
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Taylor Hill / Getty Kaytranada might not have an extensive solo album discography, but he is rightly seen as a young leader in the world of Dance and Electronic music. Shortly after Beyoncé‘s new House-tinged track “BREAK MY SOUL” was leaked and later released, the Canadian producer’s name has been trending on Twitter. Fans of House and Dance music had plenty of opinions on Drake’s latest album, Honestly, Nevermind, which took the Canadian rapper and crooner into a decidedly uptempo direction with very little rapping across the project. Drizzy, who has a number of critics, has fans split over his newest release after some felt it was a poor representation of House music although Drake never explicitly framed the album as such. Enter Beyoncé. After t...
