hip hop's new daily operation | 6.26.20
Hot Girl chain, Elliot got me shinin’ (Meg means The Jeweler, not me)
TheMotto No. 51 finds Megan Thee Stallion in good spirits. The nimble lyricist verbally explodes all over this interpolation of Eazy-E’s 1987 classic. Meg’s fourth single of 2020 is straight cookout heat, especially as she flosses her single status: You’ll never catch me callin’ these ni**as daddy / I ain’t lyin ‘bout my nut just to make a ni**a happy. She later asserts: I don’t text quick ‘cause I ain’t thirsty. Approach with caution, gentlemen.

watch out, now: big body count alert as DaBaby and Roddy Ricch blast zombies in this Reel Goats mini-movie. highly entertaining 📹⤵️
models, cars, and even JEKS’ Atlanta mural play the back as Big Boi returns with Sleepy Brown. Big Boi’s got a crisp opening verse and Brown’s as soulful as ever on the hook. This is funky Jedi rap excellence. Crank it up 🚘🎤🔽
The only rapper who can go on the road / And don’t fuck with no groupies. Also from the A, 6Lack returns with a new EP, 6pc Hot (LVRN/Interscope). And the below track with Lil Baby (who sadly is missing from visual) is the standout selection 💥🎧🔽
Chicago’s Lil Durk also connects with Lil Baby (who was able to appear in this clip) and Polo G for this strong collabo between three respected young MCs. Directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett ⏬
Ain’t that many real niggas left / It’s a shortage. Memphis’ Young Dolph may have met his match? Love is in the air in this video, and some hustling, too ⤵️
Compton’s Buddy and guest Kent Jamz spoof films like Pulp Fiction and Friday on this fun trip. Nice work, Edgar Esteves.

turn it up:
we can argue all day about who has the best verse on “Whats Poppin", but it’s safe to say Louisville’s own Jack Harlow holds his own against his all-star squad of collaborators. Generation Now is well-connected 😎 ⏬
