This Hip-Hop Legend Is the Reason for Every Major Beef to Happen in the Last 20 Years

Image
When it comes to beef in the last 20 years, Pusha T has usually had a role in it. All of Drake’s major adversaries after his Meek Mill feud have his name on it. Kendrick Lamar used a lot of the same angles Push did in his own feud with Drake. The love-hate relationship between the Toronto MC and Kanye West saw Pusha on the sidelines, too. But why is the Clipse legend at the scene of every conflict in hip-hop? All of it traces back to one inciting incident: Birdman just didn’t want to pay The Neptunes for their work. Back in 2002, Birdman and Clipse collaborated on “What Happened to That Boy”, produced by Pharrell and Chad Hugo. However, according to prominent DJ Ebro Darden , the head of Cash Money never properly paid what was owed. Consequently, Pharrell, Pusha T, and Malice allegedly vowed never to work with Birdman or any of the rappers on his label ever again. Additionally, when Lil Wayne reached out to get his hands on Billionaire Boys Club clo...

3 Hits of the 2000s With Interpolations That You May Not Have Caught the First Time

Image
I can’t be the only millennial who heard these hits without fully recognizing the interpolation that was used. These may have flown over many young heads upon release, only to be realized later on. This is what makes interpolation very effective, compared to samples. An interpolation re-records the melody, chord progression, or lyrics of a previous track onto a new song. These hits of the 2000s used interpolations that you may have missed at the time. “rich girl” by gwen stefani ft. eve Ultimately, this Gwen Stefani track was a remake of the 1993 track Louchie Lou & Michie One. The track was produced by Dr. Dre, who was known to use interpolations throughout his production career. Dre also utilized interpolations with Eminem and Snoop Dogg in the 90s.

No Matter How Many Times We Listen, We Still Can’t Explain These 5 Hip-Hop Songs From the 2010s

Image
The internet was like the Wild West for hip-hop in the 2010s . Blogs promoted anyone. Everyone could upload their music to YouTube with no strings attached. We still had the mixtape era alive and thriving, starting with DatPiff and eventually ending on SoundCloud. Additionally, the trends were more frequent, making for a constant influx of bizarre ideas and outlandish personalities. In the future, we’re probably going to have a hard time explaining to our kids that we thought a lot of this was cool. Or maybe we’ll live long enough to see a nostalgic revival take over. We’ll feel extremely old to see what the kids pick out from that time period. Obviously, you’ll need to share the soundtrack just as much as the aesthetic, though. Consequently, we’ve picked out five 2010s hip-hop songs that soundtracked such a wild time in our lives. 2010s Hip-Hop Songs We All Probably Heard and Have a Hard Time Explaining Today “Orion’s Bel...

These 2 Tiny States Lead America in Alcohol Consumption. Here’s How They Do It.

The country is, by most measures, getting sober. Millions of Americans have walked away from the nightly pour, picked up a sparkling water, and started logging their “ dry lifestyle ” alongside everyone else who did the same. Two states didn’t participate. A 2025 Gallup poll found just 54% of American adults say they drink—the lowest figure since tracking began in 1939, down from 67% three years ago. New Hampshire and Delaware received no such memo. Data from the World Population Review puts New Hampshire at 4.67 gallons of ethanol per capita, over twice the national goal of 2.1 gallons, and Delaware at 3.52, both above the national average of 2.48 gallons. Here’s the part that should make neighboring-state residents feel played. New Hampshire’s numbers are based on sales, not residency. The state runs a government liquor monopoly that sells wine and spirits tax-free, with outlets planted at highway exits along the Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine bor...
