Disclaimer, this episode of the Hip Hop Minute was recorded on the 11th, so some developments may have evolved since then. Moving forward, episodes will be rolling out much faster to stay even more in sync with everything happening in the culture. We welcome all feedback in the comments below and appreciate everyone rocking with us.
This week on the Hip Hop Minute, pulled straight from the Dead End Hip Hop Podcast, we lock in for a rapid fire breakdown of everything shaking up hip hop right now. What started as a routine news cycle quickly turned into one of the most chaotic and entertaining weeks in recent memory.
We dive into Baby Keem’s official album announcement and what it could mean for his next era, the expectations surrounding the rollout, and how this project might shift the current landscape. On the other end of the spectrum, Ja Rule finds himself trending for all the wrong reasons after a bizarre pillow throwing moment that had social media in a frenzy.
The conversation does not stop there. We discuss Sexyy Red attempting to remix Beat It by Michael Jackson and whether flipping such a legendary record is bold creativity or a risky move. We also unpack the tension between GloRilla and her sister over recent money allegations, the public fallout, and how situations like this can impact an artist’s image and momentum.
To close it out, we react to the results of the Hit Boy versus MikeWillMadeIt Verzuz battle, breaking down their catalogs, signature hits, and what the outcome says about their impact on modern hip hop production.
