DJ Akademiks Reveals Why Future Is To Blame For “Ya Hit’s” Failure

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 19:30:00 +0000

DJ Akademiks does not mince words when it comes to his commentary. If he doesn’t like something, he is going to let you know. If he feels as though an artist is making the wrong moves and has fallen off as a result, he is also going to let you know.

On Monday, Akademiks found himself weighing in on Future’s new single “Ya Hit.” It is a song that features rap heavyweights like Drake, Travis Scott, Loe Shimmy, and even Sexyy Red. However, the song has mostly been maligned for some weak verses from the song’s three superstars. In fact, the song only did one million streams on the first day, which is weak for a song that should bring about tremendous magnitude.

In the clip below, Akademiks explains that this is ultimately Future’s fault. He feels as though “Ran To Atlanta” was a success because Drake picked the right record. However, he claims Future simply picked the wrong record for this most recent effort.

DJ Akademiks Rants About Future

Akademiks says FUTURE was RESPONSIBLE for choosing the right song for Drake and Travis Scott on “YA HIT,” arguing that Drake already DID HIS PART by delivering a HIT on “RAN TO ATLANTA.”

“DRAKE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.”

Unlike some of the detractors out there, Akademiks still believes this is a good song. He said as much on his stream, noting that “Ya Hit” is good because of the artists involved. Ak also believes that Future is going to have a plethora of hits on his next album, regardless.

Future is set to drop a new album called Infinity. At this time, there is no release date for the project. It’s difficult to imagine this being released before the end of the year. Most labels are looking for albums to be released in the new year, especially now that the budgets are getting tighter.

Let us know what you thought of “Ya Hit” in the comments below.

Republican Representative Wants Diddy To Receive A Presidential Pardon

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 18:38:47 +0000

Representative-elect Anthony Constantino is a Republican from Upstate New York who just got elected to the House, and now he wants to see a pardon for Diddy. Constantino spoke to TMZ about his victory speech from last week, in which he stated that the music mogul deserves a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Constantino’s logic is that Diddy made New York a more vibrant city. He feels as though the mogul was also able to bring other artists into the city and make it a more exciting environment. President Trump has floated a full pardon for Diddy, although it remains to be seen whether or not that is coming anytime soon.

Constantino also went off on Zohran Mamdani during his interview with TMZ. Although this should not come as a surprise to anyone. Mayor Mamdani has become a Republican boogeyman since taking office on January 1 of this year.

When Is Diddy’s Prison Release Date?

Diddy is set to be released from prison on February 6, 2028. His original sentence was going to have him released in April of that same year. However, over the past few months, his release date has changed almost a dozen times.

Furthermore, after an alleged fight at FCI Fort Dix, he was moved to FCI Allenwood. This prison has one-quarter of the prison population and is also low security. Diddy’s prison stay has been much quieter since he was moved, and it remains to be seen if his release date will change again in the coming weeks.

As for Representative Constantino, his fight to get Diddy a pardon could become a circus if he forces the issue. The American people want their lives to be better. They’re probably not worried about Sean Combs.

Future Drops “Ya Hit” Music Video With Drake, Loe Shimmy, Travis Scott, And Sexyy Red

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 18:22:48 +0000

Future, Drake, Travis Scott, Loe Shimmy, and Sexyy Red have been part of the discourse cycle when it comes to the new single, “Ya Hit.” There are some fans out there who feel as though the song should have been a lot more than what it was. Others just simply feel as though all the superstars mailed in their verses. Meanwhile, Loe Shimmy has received praise for his hook, and Sexyy Red is left off the hook by the fact that she only contributes ad-libs.

Whatever the case may be, there is no denying that any single released by a legend is going to be heavily scrutinized. It is the gift and curse of being such a widely known artist. Future, Drake, and Travis Scott understand this firsthand.

That said, on Tuesday, the artists all came through with a new music video for “Ya Hit.” As you can imagine, this star-studded affair leads to a whole lot of energy. There are some gorgeous cars in the video, and it’s clear that everyone is having a good time flexing.

“Ya Hit” Music Video

Future is supposedly dropping a new album called Infinity in the not-so-distant future. Whether or not this new project actually lives up to the hype remains to be seen. The Real Me was an album that felt rushed, and there were fans who simply didn’t see the vision Future was going for.

Ultimately, it will be interesting to see where Future takes his sound going forward. At this time, it simply feels as though he and many other veterans are getting too complacent with the music, and fans are tuning out.

Only time will tell whether or not he can prove people wrong.

Deen The Great Calls Out Adrien Broner’s Alleged Alcoholism As Boxer Continues To Recover

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 16:44:20 +0000

Deen The Great and Adrien Broner have been streaming buddies for the last few months, although that partnership has been threatened. This is all because of an incident that occurred at a Skilla Baby show in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Broner became unresponsive after becoming inebriated. Blueface found him in that condition while streaming, and the paramedics had to be called. Eventually, they took Broner away, and he eventually became lucid again.

According to TMZ, Broner was not taken to the hospital. Instead, he was brought home, and now, he is on the road to recovery. In a separate street interview with TMZ, Deen The Great showcased great concern for his friend. He stated that Broner should have been in New York on Monday, but was drunk. It was simply a continuation of Saturday, and Deen believes the former boxer has a real problem.

“AB got to stop drinking and stop putting himself in them positions,” Deen The Great explained.

While unresponsive, it was alleged that Broner had a bag stolen from him. This bag was worth anywhere between $50K and $100K. In fact, Blueface and his crew were ultimately accused of being the ones to take it.

Did Blueface Rob Adrien Broner?

In the aftermath of these accusations, Blueface has come out and said that he had nothing to do with it. He made it crystal clear that no one on his team had the bag. Instead, his main concern was making sure that AB was alright.

Charlamagne Tha God Denounces Dave Chappelle’s Charlie Kirk Joke

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 16:29:35 +0000

Charlamagne Tha God has officially weighed in on Dave Chappelle’s joke about Charlie Kirk, which began making the rounds on Monday. Chappelle was performing at Madison Square Garden, when he had some choice words for the late political commentator.

“Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly but…. I feel better,” Chappelle said before adding, “I’m sure Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now laughing so hard he can’t breathe.”

The joke was a reference to what Tony Hinchcliffe had to say about George Floyd during the Kevin Hart roast. Regardless, Chappelle has been receiving criticism from Conservative corners of the internet.

Over on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne expressed how the jokes made him uncomfortable, and that sometimes, you just need to leave these kinds of things alone.

Charlamagne Tha God Responds to Dave Chappelle

“I don’t find the humor in people getting clapped,” Charlamagne said. “Any of us can be shot, and I don’t want anybody getting shot because somebody disagrees with their opinion. So yeah, you have the freedom to joke and talk about whatever you want to joke and talk about; but personally, I don’t want to deal with the energy of that. Like, I don’t wish stuff like that on my worst enemy.”

It was certainly a hard stance from Charlamagne, who otherwise is a huge fan of Dave Chappelle. In the same segment, the radio host revealed how he wishes he had attended the show.

There was also a conversation between Charlamagne, Jess Hilarious, and Loren LoRosa about how the fan was able to film the joke. Upon entry, fans were told to put away their phones. Clearly, some were able to get around this.

The Iconic Sample Behind Kanye West & Kendrick Lamar’s “No More Parties in LA”

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:38:35 +0000

Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar only got to work together once, and they made the most of it with “No More Parties In LA.” Arguably the best song on The Life Of Pablo, “No More Parties In LA” serves as a stream of consciousness in which the debauchery of Hollywood is put on full display. Lamar’s first verse is memorable for a whole host of reasons, including his references to “bougie booties” and Erykah Badu.

However, it is Ye who ends up stealing the show on this song. His verse seemingly goes on forever. There is no hook. Just raps on top of raps. It makes for a compelling listen as Ye gets into the weeds on what makes him tick. What makes him want to pull out his hair as he deals with being married to one of the most famous women in the entire world. The erosion of relationships and the men he surrounds himself with. It’s a song that seeks to offer poignant commentary, with some truly outlandish flexing sprinkled in for good measure.

That said, it is the sample that makes the song what it is. The guitar flourishes that take you back to the 70s, all while you get the funk vocals saying “Los Angeles” every few bars. It hypnotizes you immediately, and it’s an unrelenting feeling until the end of the song. Madlib is the producer of the song, and he deserves his flowers for putting this all together.

What Song Does “No More Parties In LA” Sample?

This sample comes from the song “Suzie Thundertussy.” Walter “Junie” Morrison released the song in 1976 as part of his album, Suzie Super Groupie. Ye’s use of the song is most confined to specific parts, like the beginning and the middle. The vast majority of the song does not sound like “No More Parties In LA.” However, when you listen to “Suzie Thundertussy,” you’re immediately met with something familiar. You almost feel as though Ye and Kendrick are about to start spitting bars back and forth.

Morrison was a legend in his own right. The former Ohio Players member eventually joined Parliament Funkadelic as a Music Director. His talent was immense, and songs like “Suzie Thundertussy” just prove that he was a master of his craft.

In recent weeks, the original song has been going viral on social media, TikTok in particular. In fact, it has been used in various sports edits. It just goes to show that every generation is able to recognize good music, regardless of when it came out.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Hit With Lawsuit Over Unauthorized “Vultures” Sample

Alexander Cole — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:16:33 +0000

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have found themselves in the midst of another lawsuit. This time, it has to do with the song “Vultures,” which was featured on the 2024 album of the same name. According to Billboard, this new lawsuit comes from Jaraed Deal and Marlon Barrow, who say a sample was used without their consent.

Deal and Barrow had reportedly originally made the sample in 2018. However, after hearing it over the phone, Ty Dolla $ign allegedly took it. The duo say this showed “blatant disregard for their artistic contributions and legal rights.” The producers eventually received credit for the song, but they were still upset as explicit consent was never given. Neither was paid for the use of the sample, and a licensing agreement was never drafted.

“This action is not only about unpaid licensing fees and the lack of appropriate credit, but also about the essential right of any artist to determine when, how, and by whom their creative work is used,” lawyers explained in the lawsuit.

Ye & Ty Dolla $ign Subjected To Another Lawsuit

Representatives for Ye and Ty Dolla $ign attempted a “buy-out settlement offer,” although it was not accepted by Deal and Barrow.

“This action concerns the knowing, continuous, and blatant unauthorized use of the sampled works,” lawyers continued. “It concerns protecting artistic integrity, enforcing intellectual property rights, and preventing commercial exploitation. […] “In addition to the significant financial harm and damages suffered, Plaintiffs have endured severe emotional distress, frustration, and a profound sense of exploitation stemming from the misappropriation of their creative work.”

At this time, Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
