2Slimey is an artist who has garnered some polarizing reactions over the past year or so, and for good reason. Quite frankly, his music can sometimes feel like a wall of noise. The visuals that accompany his songs are just as chaotic. With his latest single, “Lobby,” 2Slimey continues to assault your senses. While some find this style of underground rap stimulating, others will see it as pure “slop.” At the end of the day, music is subjective. 2Slimey reminds us of this with every release.

Release Date: June 12, 2026

Genre: Underground Rap

Album: TOTAL BASS DEATH

Quotable Lyrics From Lobby

Shoot up the lobby, shoot up the lobby
Shoot up the lobby, all in my body
Uppin’ the racks, up in the big body, know you gon’ tap me
Bringin’ yo’ mop up in the truck and I’m laughin’

The 10 Rarest Sneakers In Chris Brown’s Collection https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998274-chris-brown-rare-sneaker-collection-ranked Mon, 15 Jun 2026 01:00:00 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998274 From the Nike Air Mag to a signed Spiziike, these are the ten most expensive sneakers in Chris Brown's massive sneaker collection.

The post The 10 Rarest Sneakers In Chris Brown’s Collection appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Chris Brown gave Complex a tour of his sneaker collection, and the scale of it is genuinely difficult to process. The collection spans multiple rooms and a converted space with floor-to-ceiling shelves holding thousands of pairs.

Everything from vintage Reeboks to Air Mags is in there. Brown changes his shoes up to four times a day on tour and travels with up to 1,000 pairs when he is on the road.

During the walkthrough, he talked about wearing Yeezys like slippers, beating up his Air Jordan 4s on purpose, and hunting for a pair of LA Gear Moonwalkers he still has not found. Overall, here are the ten rare pairs visible in that collection.

Honorable Mention: Allen Iverson Reebok Collection

Chris Brown has spoken openly about Allen Iverson being one of his biggest childhood influences. During the walkthrough, he pointed to an entire rack dedicated to Iverson’s Reebok signature line and mentioned that a blue and white Reebok Question was the first sneaker he ever saved up his own money to buy in middle school.

The collection includes multiple colorways of the Question, the Answer series, and various other Iverson models. Individually, none of these pairs are the most expensive in the room, but as a complete collection they represent something more personal than anything else in his archive.

10. Nike Air Foamposite One “White Out”

The Nike Air Foamposite One is one of the more polarizing silhouettes Nike has ever produced. The molded shell upper is unlike anything else in the catalog, and the “White Out” colorway is one of the cleaner takes on the design.

All-white shell upper with a gum outsole and a checkered pattern visible through the translucent bottom. During the closet walkthrough, Chris Brown showed off the worn sole on his pair without any apology for it.

He made clear that he actually wears his sneakers rather than keeping them as display pieces. That attitude runs through his entire collection.

9. Air Jordan 3 “True Blue”

The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” is one of the cleaner colorways in the AJ3 catalog and a shoe that has held consistent value since its original run. White tumbled leather base with true blue hitting the elephant print panels and heel tab.

A fire red Nike Air logo on the heel adds contrast without pulling the shoe away from its cold overall palette. The AJ3 is one of the most important silhouettes in Jordan Brand history, and the “True Blue” colorway has been retroed multiple times because demand for it never really goes away.

Chris Brown’s collection has a strong Jordan presence throughout, and the “True Blue” is one of the more recognizable pairs in it.

8. Air Jordan 7 “Olympic”

The Air Jordan 7 “Olympic” is one of the most historically significant colorways in the entire Jordan catalog. Michael Jordan wore this shoe while playing for the United States at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the same team widely considered the greatest basketball squad ever assembled.

White leather upper with gold, green, and red accents referencing the American flag and Olympic color palette. The shoe has been retroed several times and consistently sells well above retail on the secondary market.

Chris Brown’s collection skews heavily toward historically significant Jordan colorways, and the “Olympic” AJ7 fits that pattern. It is a shoe with a legitimate story behind it beyond just the colorway.

7. Jordan Spizike “BHM” (Signed by Spike Lee)

Chris Brown

The Jordan Spizike is already a limited silhouette by design. It was built as a tribute to Spike Lee and his decades-long relationship with Jordan Brand. A signed pair from Spike Lee himself puts this in a different category entirely.

During the tour, Chris Brown explained that Spike Lee personally sent and signed this pair for him. The Spizike combines design elements from the AJ3, AJ4, AJ5, AJ6, and AJ20 into one shoe.

A signed pair from the man the shoe was literally created to honor is not something that shows up often. The personal provenance here makes it one of the more unique items in the entire collection regardless of resale value.

6. PSNY x Air Jordan 12

The Public School New York x Air Jordan 12 is one of the more understated collaborations in Jordan Brand’s catalog, but it is also one of the most respected among collectors. The shoe features a blacked-out nubuck upper with tonal branding and none of the loud color blocking that most AJ12 colorways rely on. It is a very quiet shoe for a very loud silhouette.

Chris Brown mentioned during the walkthrough that the PSNY design team sent him a pair and that he wore them once on stage. A worn pair from a limited collab still carries serious value. The “PSNY” AJ12 is the kind of shoe that serious collectors recognize immediately.

5. Supreme x Nike Air More Uptempo

Chris Brown
Image via GOAT

The Supreme x Nike Air More Uptempo is one of the most recognizable Nike collaborations of the 2010s. The Air More Uptempo already has one of the loudest silhouettes in Nike’s catalog with oversized AIR branding across the upper.

Supreme replaced that branding with their own box logo treatment. The result was one of the most hyped drops of 2016. Chris Brown mentioned during the walkthrough that he bought these specifically to wear on stage once and get a look off.

Using a Supreme x Nike collaboration as a single-wear stage shoe says a lot about the size and depth of his collection. Most people would never take these out of the box.

4. Nike Air Max 95 Atmos “Animal Pack 2.0”

The Atmos x Nike Air Max 95 “Animal Pack 2.0” is one of the most celebrated Nike Air Max collaborations ever produced. Atmos is a Japanese retailer with a long history of meaningful Nike partnerships and the Animal Pack concept. It uses different animal prints across the upper panels and is one of their most iconic.

The 2.0 version released in 2017 as a follow-up to the original 2006 Animal Pack and sold out almost immediately. The gradient upper uses elephant, leopard, and snakeskin-inspired textures across different panels. It is a technically complex shoe to produce, and the Atmos name carries real weight in sneaker culture globally.

3. Air Jordan 4 Retro “11Lab4 Red”

Chris Brown
Image via GOAT

The Air Jordan 4 Retro “11Lab4 Red” is one of the more unusual entries in Jordan Brand’s catalog. It takes the AJ4 silhouette and applies the patent leather construction from the Air Jordan 11 to it. It creates a hybrid that combines the best material qualities of both shoes.

The “Red” colorway uses a varsity red patent leather upper that makes the shoe immediately distinctive from any standard AJ4 release. The 11Lab4 line was limited and has not been widely retroed since its original release, which keeps resale prices elevated.

Chris Brown’s collection regularly features limited Jordan Brand releases that most people did not get a chance to buy at retail.

2. Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Solar Red”

Yeezy
Image via GOAT

The Nike Air Yeezy 2 is one of the most important sneakers ever produced, and the “Solar Red” colorway is one of two released versions. Dark grey and black nubuck upper with solar red accents on the tongue lining, outsole, and lace loops.

Gold hardware on the lacing system adds a luxury detail that most performance shoes do not have. The Air Yeezy 2 line was Kanye West’s second collaboration with Nike before he left for Adidas, which means no new pairs will ever be produced.

Supply is permanently fixed, and demand has never gone down. A pair in good condition is one of the most valuable sneakers a collector can own, and Chris Brown has one sitting in his collection.

1. Nike Air Mag (2011)

The Nike Air Mag is the most valuable sneaker in Chris Brown’s collection, and it is not very close. Originally designed for the film Back to the Future Part II2, Nike released a limited quantity of the 2011 version through a charitable auction benefiting the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

The pair visible in the video is displayed on a replica Back to the Future hoverboard, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes Chris Brown’s collection different from most. The 2011 version does not have the self-lacing feature that the 2016 version introduced, but it is the rarer and more historically significant release.

Overall, a pair in any condition is one of the most valuable sneakers in the world.

Kanye West Tampa Concerts Face Protests From Florida Jewish Organizations https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998507-kanye-west-tampa-concert-jewish-organization-protest Sun, 14 Jun 2026 16:35:20 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998507 Florida Holocaust Museum, the Tampa Jewish Federation, and the Florida chapter of the National Organization for Women are pushing back against Ye's upcoming concert.

Kanye West’s comeback continues to face hurdles, especially as he attempts to book venues across parts of America and the world. Following the release of Bully, Ye’s faced pushback at every corner for each of his performances, though not nearly enough to cancel them off of boycotting alone. He sold out the SoFi Stadium earlier this year twice and recently declared that he had the largest stadium show of all time in Türkiye.

With all of this, you’d think that people aren’t actively trying to boycott him, but you’d be wrong. According to AllHipHop, Ye’s upcoming appearance in Tampa has sparked a wave of opposition from several Florida-based organizations. The June 26th and 28th shows at Raymond James Stadium have become the focus of criticism from the Florida Holocaust Museum, the Tampa Jewish Federation, and the Florida chapter of the National Organization for Women, all of whom join Senator Rick Scott in pressuring the venue to cancel the show.

“To say he was sorry and to say it was based on a manic episode and not to take any actions after that, to demonstrate that this was a sincere change of heart, is really what is so hard for the members of the Jewish community in Tampa, and throughout the region and throughout the world to take that as sincere,” Eric Stillman, president of the Florida Holocaust Museum, said.

Florida Holocaust Museum Offers Free Admission On Ye’s Show Dates

As part of its response, the museum plans to offer free admission during the same dates as the concerts.

Ye’s apology arrived in the Wall Street Journal earlier this year, where Ye said that he suffered from bipolar type-1 disorder and an undiagnosed brain injury, which he suggested played a role in his antisemitic remarks. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates on Kanye’s performance.

Jay-Z & Future’s Son Pose For A Photo As Future’s Old Comments About Hov Resurface https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998502-jay-z-future-ciara-son-picture Sun, 14 Jun 2026 15:24:11 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998502 A full circle moment.

The post Jay-Z & Future’s Son Pose For A Photo As Future’s Old Comments About Hov Resurface appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
There’s always been some odd tension between Jay-Z and Future over the years. Despite connecting on records and working in completely different lanes, the slight shots they’ve thrown at each other over the years haven’t been forgotten. The most noticeable shot, however, came on Hov’s “Kill Jay-Z when Jay raps, “I don’t know what you would’ve done/ In the future other n***as playin’ football with your son.” 

​​Now, that particular line was in reference to Russell Wilson’s relationship with Ciara after she and Future split up. Wilson publicly embraced Future Zahir Wilburn as his own son at a time when Future was being dragged through the internet for his toxic ways. 

While that line rubbed Future the wrong way, it appears that Ciara appreciated the shout-out. Recently, Ciara dropped a photo online of Jay-Z and Future Zahir Wilburn together. And as you expect, the internet had a field day with it.

“Y’all gone piss Future enough and he gone fuck around and make a club banger dragging tf outta JZ,” one user wrote. Someone else wrote, “If this isn’t mind games from Jay Z knowing my man was throwing shade on Future is crazy.”

Future Says Jay-Z Wasn’t Hot Until Biggie & Tupac Died

The photo comes at an interesting time. A viral clip from 2016 began surfacing this week where Future discusses Jay-Z’s impact in the 90s, especially compared to artists like Tupac and Biggie. 

 “Jay-Z wasn’t great when Tupac and Biggie were alive,” he said. “It was Biggie, Tupac, Ice Cube. [Reasonable Doubt] wasn’t hot until [Tupac and Biggie] died.”

“I’m saying at that time, [it wasn’t hot]. They always go back for your classic album. When Nas dropped his first album, it was great then,” Future continued. “‘When I Ruled The World’ came out, it was the best then. You have to go back and listen to Reasonable Doubt and [think] this the best sh*t ever.”

Ice Cube’s Big3 Basketball League Goes Public With Massive Valuation https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998499-ice-cube-big3-public Sun, 14 Jun 2026 15:13:13 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998499 Ice Cube is taking the Big3 public, and the league's valuation proves that sticking with something is good for business.

The post Ice Cube’s Big3 Basketball League Goes Public With Massive Valuation appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Ice Cube is not just a legendary artist but also an actor and entrepreneur. Over the last few years, Cube has been looking to grow his revolutionary basketball league, the Big3. It is a three-on-three basketball league that experiments with the rules to create a truly unique product.

Furthermore, the league is packed with talent, as there are former NBA stars who participate. While Cube has had some challenges growing the league, he has kept at it, and now, he finds himself on the precipice of something extraordinary.

According to ESPN, the Big3 is the first professional sports league in North America to go public. This means you can purchase stock in the league. It is a unique idea that fits within Cube’s fan-centered version of the league. To make matters even more impressive, the league has been given a valuation of $290 million.

Ice Cube Continues To Innovate

Throughout the years, Cube has seen the league earn TV deals with CBS. Furthermore, he even held the league’s championship game in the Bahamas back in 2021. It just goes to show that he is always thinking of new ways to build the league.

Whether it be through his one-on-one foul shot structure or the four-point circle, the Big3 is one of those leagues that makes sports fun. Oftentimes, the NBA can find itself becoming predictable and tiresome. But the Big3 version of the sport has unique twists to it that fans find compelling.

Needless to say, it is cool to see Cube’s success. The Big3 was ambitious from the jump, and it continues to take new strides.

Charlamagne Tha God Clowns The Alleged Man Behind Akademiks TV https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/998492-charlamagne-tha-god-akademiks-tv Sun, 14 Jun 2026 14:54:16 +0000 https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/?p=998492 Charlamagne Tha God has been getting lit up by Akademiks TV on social media, but now, he is clapping back.

Charlamagne Tha God is easily one of the biggest names in the world of hip-hop media. The same can be said of his former protege, DJ Akademiks. However, these days, the two appear to be at odds with one another.

In fact, Charlamagne has been the subject of a blitz campaign from Akademiks TV. Interestingly enough, this account is not run by DJ Akademiks. Instead, an Australian man by the name of George Nguyen is in control of the page.

Throughout the last week or so, Akademiks TV has been posting various interviews and news articles about the rape allegations that Charlamagne battled decades ago. Furthermore, the account has been posting some of Charlamagne’s old comments about R. Kelly. These clips paint Charlamagne in a bad light, and it is clear that Akademiks TV has an agenda.

On the latest episode of The Brilliant Idiots Podcast, Charlamagne clapped back, claiming that Nguyen contacted him directly. He accused Nguyen of being worried about getting doxxed.

Charlamagne Tha God Speaks His Peace

“I saw some panicking last week… Why doesn’t George want his picture out? He thinks people are doxing him. Why would George Nguyen’s home get invaded?” Charlamagne asked.

Understandably, Charlamagne has had enough with Akademiks TV, and he is now clapping back. Whether the man behind the account responds remains to be seen. What we do know is that he clearly isn’t thrilled about his name and face being all over the internet.

As for DJ Akademiks, he has mostly stayed out of all of this. Instead, he has let Akademiks TV run rampant and hasn’t told him to stop. All in all, the media wars continue.

The past few months have been rough for Rick Ross. In the midst of him trying to reignite his feud with Drake and somehow acting as though he’s above it all at the same time, the internet wasted little opportunity to clown him when he was spotted flying commercial, like the rest of us. Considering the fortune he’s amassed throughout his career and the Boss imagery that’s often associated with his brand, it became the perfect moment for his detractors to sh*t on him.

Uncle Murda wasted very little time once the Knicks clinched the championship against the San Antonio Spurs. Wearing all of his chains and sporting a Knicks jersey and a matching hat, he immediately began pointing out Ross’ recent explanation for why he wasn’t on a private jet.

“Let’s go Knicks. Gettin’ off that jet. Black truck is waiting. Meanwhile, Officer Ricky is making up excuses, talking about his jet’s in the shop. Nah, n***a, they caught you lacking, Officer Ricky. You got caught lackin’, n***a,” he said. “Got that n***a Rick Ross explaining himself now, talking about his jet getting WiFi. Don’t start stuttering now, n***a.” 

Afterward, Uncle Murda asked the driver if he saw Rick Ross plane anywhere near the airport. 

Of course, this spat is the latest in the tensions between the two.

Why Was Rick Ross Flying Commercial? 

Although there’s nothing wrong with flying commercial, the photo of Ross ultimately had Drake fans referencing his lyrics on “Whisper My Name,” where he raps about who he’d see flying economy if he ever flew commercial. However, Ross explained that his jet was getting Starlink hooked up so it wasn’t available to fly on his regular jet. 

Ultimately, it became an opportunity for Uncle Murda to take jabs at Rick Ross. Check the clip out above.

Elliott Wilson is a legendary hip-hop journalist who has been doing his thing for decades. However, in recent years, he has come under fire for his approach to garnering interviews.

On numerous occasions, he has had some harsh words for artists like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay-Z, who oftentimes avoid rap publications. Some believe Wilson’s comments are sour grapes. Others see it as a genuine critique of how the biggest artists would prefer non-contentious interviews with GQ and Bobbi Althoff.

Now, Wilson is under fire for a different reason. SaVon Slater, the producer for The Joe Budden Podcast and host of blankSLATE, recently came out with some allegations against Wilson. In the video clip below, he claims the journalist owes him $20,000 for work that he did on The Elliott Wilson Experience.

SaVon Explains Why He’s Mad At Elliott Wilson

As Slater explains, Wilson came to him with a proposal. Essentially, Slater would provide a studio space, a camera crew, and editing work for The Elliott Wilson Experience. Wilson said his show was backed by Roc Nation and that if all went well, they would get renewed for a third season.

At the time, Slater’s close circle felt as though he was taking on unnecessary risk. Furthermore, Slater had been warned that Wilson was allegedly known for stiffing people when it came to payment. As Slater explains, that is exactly what happened to him.

The podcast producer now finds himself frustrated, as Wilson still hasn’t paid back the $20K. He went on blankSLATE and discussed the situation, although he did so begrudgingly. Clearly, this is not something he wanted to do, but he did it anyway as a last resort.

At this time, Wilson has not responded to the allegations.

You could feel the energy in New York City across the world right now. After the Knicks won the NBA Championship against the San Antonio Spurs, New York finally brought home the chip for the first time in 53 years. That excitement has spilled over the timeline with videos of fans celebrating across all five boroughs.

The energy was so potent that it had Cardi B leaving the house at the wee hours of the morning just to be among the people. The rapper was on Instagram, revealing that she was watching the game on her phone when the Knicks beat the Spurs 94-90. The rapper jumped out of bed and ran through her house in excitement that the Knicks won. Of course, since the rest of the city was inevitably going to be outside to celebrate, Cardi said she needed her makeup done immediately and hit the block.

Cardi B herself played a role in the momentum that New York City had going for it over the past week. While tensions have been high throughout the series, the games hosted at Madison Square Garden were particularly noticeable. Cardi performed during the halftime show at the same game that Donald Trump attended, which Cardi admitted was likely responsible for the team’s loss that evening. However, that one loss obviously didn’t prevent them from securing the Championship.

Other hip-hop icons that were spotted enjoying the game together were A$AP Rocky and 50 Cent. The two seemingly linked up on Rocky’s tour bus, where they shared drinks and celebrations after the Knicks took the W.

With the Knicks parade expected to take place on Thursday, it would not be surprising if we ended up seeing some VIP Knicks fans like Cardi B pull up for the occasion.

Rapsody is one of the best MCs in the world, and with every album, she continues to prove that to be the case. On August 21, she will be blessing fans with a new album, God Gotta Afro & Gold Hoops. On Friday, the artist came through with the lead single for the project, “God Gotta Afro.” It is a song with some thumping production that pairs perfectly with Rapsody’s flow. Meanwhile, we get a temporary beat switch towards the halfway mark of the song, with the Karabo yaMorena Choir singing the hook. It’s a song packed with imagery and clever bars. Needless to say, Rapsody has us wondering if an Album of the Year candidate is on the horizon.

Release Date: June 12, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: God Gotta Afro & Gold Hoops

Rollers in my crown, crested with the bling, bling
Twelve homies by my side talkin’
