Mans On The Sing Ting: Memes & Jokes Flourish Over Drake’s ‘New ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ LP
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Cole Burston / Getty Drake will never escape the massive weight of expectations fans put on his music, and a surprise album that dropped today (June 17) proves that fact. The Canadian superstar completely shifted tones with the Honestly, Nevermind album, and Twitter is dropping both praise and jokes over the sonic direction. Drake Goes Into His Dance Music Bag? While the summer looked to be a quiet one for Drake, Honestly, Nevermind is quite a disruption to the landscape to be completely honest. With Certified Lover Boy dropping just nine months ago, few expected Drizzy to get back to business so soon. However, the new project is a departure from the hybrid Hip-Hop and R&B sound the OVO honcho normally operates under. We’ve already mentioned how...

Is hasn’t even been a week since Diamanté Blackmon hung up his headphones as Carnage, laying his longtime moinker to rest with his final show in Australia on June 11th.

Drake’s New Album ‘Honestly Nevermind’ Drops At Midnight, Soft Rap Twitter In Shambles
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Cole Burston / Getty Apparently, Drake couldn’t let Beyonce get all the glory today. Apparently, the 6 God is also dropping a new album, but his will be landing at midnight tonight for a Friday, June 17 release. The Toronto rapper took to his Instagram to reveal the title, Honestly Nevermind, and the release date along with the album artwork. By Drake standards, the cover, some blinged out lettering, is kind of no frills.

Twitter is already saluting, or hating on, The Boy, so, the usual. This story is developing. 1. Coincidence?

As you can see below, there’s little else revealed (or known) about what’s to come on Honestly Nevermind. But hey, isn’t that part of the fun with Champagne Papi? We leave that up to you to decide.

10 Chart-Toppers That Sample or Pull From Past No. 1s
“First Class,” the second single from Kentucky rapper Jack Harlow’s album Come Home The Kids Miss You, is one of the biggest songs of 2022 so far, reaching No. 1 on the Hot 100 twice since its April release. One reason for the quick ascent: the familiarity of the chorus, which samples Fergie’s vocals from “Glamorous,” which also topped the Hot 100 back in 2007. Since Billboard began publishing the Hot 100 in 1958, nine songs have topped the chart more than once by different artists, like Little Eva’s 1962 original “The Loco-Motion” and Grand Funk Railroad’s 1974 cover. But as hip-hop began to take over the charts in the 1990s, sampling old hits has become the most notable method of reviving pop’s past. And in recent years, interpolations with replayed elements of old hits have kicked up a ...

In the new visuals to “Churchill Downs,” Jack and Drake indulge in white folk activities and take to the racing track for the Kentucky Derby where they put some money on the ponies where Drizzy stands out like a sore thumb with those braids.
