So… we need to talk. Something in the Hip-Hop is off!

A few days back, The Game sat in an interview beaming. He said he locked in with DJ Drama and knocked out a full Gangsta Grillz project in 48 hours – from scratch. It was a moment in that moment. Instant victory lap.

The Game: News, Rumors & More

He bragged that he cut 60 songs in one weekend, picking the top 19 for the “tape.” Drama was talking and the streets were waiting! The OGs were truly taking the game back and The Game was instantly a part of that. But it is now Sunday.

Where is it the project?
What happened?
Why does this feel like a ghost project?

Because this Gangsta Grillz has not shown up at all, not even a song. Well, there’s some song that keeps showing up on my Spotify, but it is not a part of the album. There is nothing! I am thinking this may have gotten picked up by an actually major label or something. I am not sure, but nobody is asking these questions. So, here I am. I told you The Game is one of our favorites.

So that’s the part that stings. This wasn’t just “another project.” This was supposed to be a moment! The Bi-Polar Bear is back! A seasoned vet linking with the king of mixtapes (of the day)! The Game hyped us all up! 60 songs and we don’t get one? I want to shed a tear.

So…what went wrong with the Black Friday release?

Was it politics?
Was it clearance issues?
Did Drama have too much on his plate?
Did The Game move too fast?
Was there chaos behind the scenes?

The Game can rap. We need more rappers. DJ Drama is the hype beast-type DJ for the culture – in a good way. The ball has not been dropped, but we need some answers!

Now we’re all watching to see if the real story ever comes out. Or the real album comes out.
Hip-Hop wants answers.

I wrote all that to hear the album is now slated for a December 5 release. Stay tuned!

The owner of an Austin restaurant addresses a complaint video posted by an unhappy customer on Facebook. Not only are his complaints invalid, she said, but she has the receipts to prove it.

TikTok creator Gabriela Bucio (@gabriela.atx) is a restaurateur based in Austin, Texas. In a video posted on Nov. 17, she addressed an incident at her restaurant Gabriela’s South. 

First, Bucio said that the customer, who she refers to as “Mr. Roger,” and his party arrived at the restaurant an hour past their 7:15 p.m. reservation. Still, the staff recognized that this was a party of regulars and they accommodated them anyway.

Why Did This Gabriela’s South Customer Post to Facebook?

Apparently, the courtesy wasn’t appreciated by Roger, who is known as Roger El Versache on Facebook, because Bucio said he repaid the kindness by complaining about the menu, the size of the cocktails, and how the food was prepared, even though Bucio said the menu clearly labeled everything.

The story didn’t end there. Bucio also accuses the customer of mistreating her bartending staff. And then he posted a video detailing his complaints to Facebook.

“Unfortunately, he was rude to our female staff, behavior we do not tolerate and even in his video he made inappropriate and disrespectful comments about them,” she wrote in the video’s caption. “We wish him well and hope he finds a place that better suits his preferences.”

Additionally, Bucio posted screenshots of Facebook messages she said she received from other people in the party who saw the video and wanted to clarify that the entire party didn’t share Roger’s opinion.

In another Facebook post, Roger addressed the screenshots by saying there was obviously a “Judas” at the dinner table. In comments, he also claimed that no one in the party told him directly that he’d crossed a line or asked him to take the video down.

Viewers React to the Gabriela’s South Facebook Dust-Up

In the comments section, viewers discussed the man’s complaint video and Bucio’s response.

“Some people don’t have better things to do with their time,” wrote one person. “Gabriela’s South is my go-to spot as soon as I’m in Austin.”

A second viewer said, “I like how calmly you addressed this issue. It goes to show how professional and well-educated you are, Gaby. God bless you and your businesses always.”

Bucio replied, “We tried leaving him a comment and reaching out to him, but something I’ve learned is to never argue with people on their territory.”

However, some commenters validated at least part of Roger’s complaints. “I don’t know, girl,” wrote one person. “I’ve been to Gabriela’s South and the staff be catching attitude all the time. And they be taking a while to greet us at our table. One time I had the waiter say she forgot and we waited 30 minutes to get water. I do love y’alls drinks though.”

Bucio responded, “And a serious complaint is valid. My video was a reply to his complaints about us not having a reservation and the menu not pointing out the prices of the happy hour. I always take complaints seriously and there are always managers [on-site].”

A Reddit post to r/AustinFood four years ago features customers discussing the pros and cons of Gabriela’s South. One person wrote, “The food is good, the service is hit or miss, and the music is MUCH too loud during normal eating hours.” A second person said, “Gabriela (the owner) is great. My family loves her style.”

All Hip Hop contacted Roger El Versache via Instagram direct message for comment. We also reached out to Bucio via TikTok direct messages for comment. 

@gabriela.atx

Mr. Roger did not have a reservation at Gabriela’s South because the party’s reservation was at 7:15 PM and they arrived more than an hour late. Even then, we gladly accommodated the entire group because they always dine with us, and everyone enjoyed their time except for him. Unfortunately, he was rude to our female staff, behavior we do not tolerate and even in his video he made inappropriate and disrespectful comments about them. We wish him well and hope he finds a place that better suits his preferences.

Delarosa was gunned down in a suspected gang-related robbery in Los Angeles that left two others wounded and has now led to murder charges against three men.

Maria De La Rosa, who performed under the name Delarosa, was killed early Saturday morning while sitting inside a parked car in Northridge.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the attackers approached the vehicle, demanded money and opened fire. The 25-year-old singer was rushed to the hospital but died from multiple gunshot wounds.

On Wednesday, prosecutors charged Francisco Otilio Gaytan, 27, Benny LiconGomez, 27, and Eduardo Lopez, 21, with one count of murder and two counts of attempted second-degree robbery. Lopez has not been taken into custody and remains at large.

“This was a ruthless and targeted attack that stole the life of a young woman and artist and inflicted profound lifelong trauma on her family and the two survivors,” said Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. “My Office will pursue this case aggressively to ensure those responsible are held fully accountable for this senseless and deadly violence.”

The shooting occurred around 1:25 A.M., and authorities believe it was connected to gang activity. The two surviving victims were critically injured during the assault.

Delarosa had just begun to make waves in the Latin music scene. She released her debut single “No me llames” in August, and her death has sparked an outpouring of grief from the music community. Jimmy Humilde and Juan Moises, lead singer of Los Gemelos de Sinaloa, were among those who paid tribute online.

The case remains active as authorities continue to search for Lopez.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar are once again on a collision course since Drake reportedly has it in his mind that he needs revenge.

The Toronto megastar gears up for his ninth studio album ICEMAN and, according to DJ Akademiks, a massive 2026 global run intended to challenge the record books.

Akademiks raised eyebrows during a recent stream when he claimed Drake wants to topple Kendrick’s worldwide touring crown. Weird. First of all, he’s got to contend with Travis Scott already doing that.

Kendrick currently holds the highest grossing Hip-Hop tour ever with his Grand National trek, but I believe ol boy should read AllHipHop more.

Drake still holds the title for the biggest touring numbers in the United States, per Ak. Akademiks believes Drake is ready to chase the global title once and for all.

“I think Drake wants to beat the world record going into next year,” Akademiks said in a clip captured on X. “I think he’s saying ‘Yo I don’t need an agent really. But if I’m gonna have an agent my agent’s not gonna rep my opp. F*ck that.’”

The timing of the claim landed right as momentum around ICEMAN continues to build. The album still does not have a public release date yet insiders have been buzzing for weeks that Drake is preparing a rollout that will hit soon. Akademiks doubled down during an earlier livestream where he revealed Drizzy has been locked into the studio and zeroed in on crafting something major for supporters.

I take this with a grain of salt since homie is Team Drizzy.

“Yo Drake been off the road he’s cooking up and it’s a beautiful thing for all Drake fans,” he said. “Now we’re going to get what we really want from The Boy. N***a hit me. He says ‘Ak the stove is hot!’ I’m just letting y’all know….‘Remember I told y’all.’ The Boy is confirming man the cook-up is happening.”

Akademiks pushed fans to give Drake room to operate as he wraps the project.

“Let my boy live in peace no livestreams collabs or whatever right now,” he added. “No random distractions. We don’t want no tings trying to jump out. Let my boy cook and whenever he’s done cheffing we gon’ have a good time man. We’re about to go through one of those again I like it.”

We? OK.

If Akademiks is right Drake could be preparing his own version of a takeover or it could be the biggest flop in history. They are doing too much. Let it drop and let it rock. ICEMAN could be dope, this anticipation stuff is overdoing it!

Ray J walked out of a Los Angeles jail and straight into controversy after recounting a disturbing encounter behind bars involving a fellow inmate’s explicit behavior.

The Hip-Hop singer and reality TV personality was arrested following a domestic altercation with his estranged wife, Princess Love, during a Twitch livestream.

A heated on-camera dispute between Ray and Princess Love escalated after he allegedly pointed a gun at his ex-wife and LAPD officers eventually took him into custody. Not long after his release, Ray jumped back online to share an unsettling story from his brief jail stint.

“Arguing with this n#### in here jacking off in jail,” Ray J said. “It was crazy. Bro, I almost beat the n##### ass four times, ’cause I’m like, bro, I’m trying to survive in there, bro. Jacking off in there, bro. Under his bed, bro. It was crazy. I almost beat that n#### under his bed, bro. Playing with me. Talking about, ‘Ray J, Ray J!’ It was a lot. Never go to jail, y’all. It’s really bad.”

The 44-year-old was released soon after but claimed the experience was traumatic. Ray J also confirmed he’s now permanently banned from Twitch.

“Nah, we banned from Twitch permanently. Forever. We’ll never be able to go back on Twitch… We’re banned permanently.”

Princess Love later addressed the situation, denying his claims that she and her cousin were drunk and about to drive off with their kids.

“I’m not going to let him deflect and make it about me, or make it seem like I was drunk. That was not the case,” she said.

NLE Choppa has officially declared war on NBA YoungBoy with the release of his scorching new diss track “Hello Revenge,” dropping Thursday night (November 28) as the latest salvo in Hip-Hop’s most heated beef of 2025.

The Memphis rapper, now performing under the moniker NLE The Great, delivered a vicious four-minute assault that directly targets the Baton Rouge star with surgical precision.

Directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne, the accompanying music video serves as a visual exclamation point to what many are calling the most aggressive diss track of the year.

“Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive/N####, I’m the truth, but the devil is a lie/YB, Louis V. belt to his spine/Anybody with him better get hiim before he cross the line, n####,” NLE The Great spits with venomous intensity on the track.

The “Louis V. belt to his spine” reference appears to refer to October’s “KO” music video, where the “Shotta Flow” hitmaker was seen striking an NBA YoungBoy lookalike with a belt in a shocking visual that sent shockwaves through social media.

But NLE The Great didn’t stop there.

He directly addressed the viral “YB better” meme that YoungBoy’s loyal fanbase has weaponized across social platforms.

“They say, ‘YB better,’ who? I’m the proof that ain’t a statement/They was putting me at two, hmm, change the conversation,” he rapped, effectively dismantling the popular phrase while asserting his own dominance.

The track arrives approximately 10 days after NBA YoungBoy appeared to fire back with “Zero IQ Freestyle,” released on November 17. In that response, the 26-year-old Baton Rouge native seemed to dismiss NLE entirely, rapping: “B####, f### you, you ain’t really Five and healin’ all with real gang hoes / ‘Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothin’ down, b####, I said, ‘No.’”

The beef traces back to NLE Choppa’s explosive “KO” diss track in October, which heavily sampled 2Pac’s legendary “Hit Em Up” and saw the rapper claim that YoungBoy was “poison” to the youth.

The track marked a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two young stars.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, NLE The Great revealed that the inspiration for “KO” came in a “vivid dream” in which he was “holding a young boy’s head in my hand, and I was bringing the head to my father in the dream.”

The disturbing imagery translated into one of the year’s most talked-about diss records. NBA YoungBoy, fresh off his successful MASA album and his first headlining arena tour that wrapped in October, has maintained his position as one of Hip-Hop’s most prolific artists.

However, NLE The Great’s relentless assault suggests this beef is far from over. The timing of “Hello Revenge” is particularly strategic, arriving just as NBA YoungBoy was scheduled to release his new album Slime Cry on Friday (November 28) at midnight.

However, fans may have to wait longer for that project as the release has been delayed.

Missy Elliott wants answers about why her hit “Car Wash” remake with Christina Aguilera has vanished from streaming platforms nearly 20 years after it dropped for the Shark Tale soundtrack.

The Hip-Hop icon took to X this week to directly question Universal Music Group and Geffen Records after being flooded with messages from listeners wondering why the 2004 track is nowhere to be found online.

“The fans tagged me wanting to know why the song Car Wash on #Sharktale soundtrack not on some streaming sites… Can you please help out because many of them have been asking as you can see and miss it,” she wrote.

The high-energy duet, a modern take on Rose Royce’s 1976 disco classic, became a chart success in several countries upon its release alongside the animated film.

Despite its popularity, the song remains unavailable on primary streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music. So far, neither Universal nor Geffen has responded publicly to Elliott’s request.

Elliott, who last released a full-length album in 2005 with The Cookbook, followed by her 2019 EP Iconology, recently teased new music during an appearance on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast.

“I have something in the works,” she said. “It’s just different. It’s me being experimental again… I got some stuff coming. Some fire.”

No timeline has been confirmed for the release of her upcoming material.

GloRilla turned an NBA courtside moment into a viral spectacle Tuesday night when she erupted with joy after Brandon Ingram hit a game-winning shot for the Toronto Raptors, igniting the arena.

The Memphis rapper sprang from her front-row seat with unfiltered excitement as Ingram sank the decisive bucket in the final seconds of the November 26 matchup.

Video clips captured her leaping, shouting and throwing her arms in the air, stealing the spotlight from the hardwood and turning the moment into instant internet gold.

Ingram sank a 15-foot jumper with 0.6 seconds left to give the Raptors a 97-95 over the Indiana Pacers. GloRilla’s reaction spread like wildfire online.

The two confirmed their relationship in September, making it Instagram official with a playful photo together.

After the buzzer-beater, the pair shared a brief handshake courtside, a moment captured and posted by the NBA’s official Instagram account.

GloRilla, 26, has become a regular fixture at Raptors games and one of the NBA’s most recognizable celebrity supporters this season.

Khloe Kardashian didn’t hold back during the latest episode of The Kardashians, dropping a bold comment about her sister Kylie Jenner while filming a promo for a body-swap movie campaign.

While shooting a skit for Freakier Friday, a play on the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis classic, Khloe was asked in a confessional which sibling she’d trade places with for a day. Her answer? Kylie, of course.

“I would Freaky Friday with Kylie. I would do that because it is Kylie Jenner. We have cool friends. We have fun animals. We live in a fairy tale,” she said, before adding a pointed remark that turned heads. “We’re not dating basketball players (because) we are going to the game court side. (Kylie) is a little bit of Snow White but a little bit of Pretty Woman. Also, I would love to know what those boobs feel like.”

Kylie, 28, didn’t flinch at the comment. “I’m OK with that. I decided,” she told producers with a shrug.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder previously revealed she underwent breast augmentation in 2017, just before getting pregnant with her daughter Stormi Webster.

“I got my breasts done before Stormi… not thinking I would have a child when I was 20,” she explained during a 2023 episode of The Kardashians. “Like, they were still healing. I had beautiful breasts. Natural t**s. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about it to wait until after children.”

Kylie shares Stormi, now 7, and son Aire, 3, with rapper Travis Scott, her former partner.

Khloe, 41, has joked before about swapping lives with another sister, Kendall Jenner, in a previous season of the show.

“I want to be a supermodel, going around town, I could hook up with this person, not that Kendall does that, but I would be doing that. No kids, no responsibilities, (well) she has responsibilities, but you know what I mean,” she said at the time.
