Cupcakke Repurposes 50 Cent’s Breakout Hit To Call Out Her Contemporaries On ‘How To Rob (Remix)’
Cupcakke goes after Cardi B, Lizzo, Doja Cat, Lil Baby, DaBaby, and just about everybody else in hip-hop. …
On 50 Cent’s 1999 single “How To Rob,” the rapper called out a bunch of his hip-hop contemporaries. Now, over two decades later, Cupcakke has done the same thing on her own version of the track, the appropriately titled “How To Rob (Remix).” The full list of people Cupcakke mentions on the song by name includes Sada Baby, Lady Gaga, Migos, Offset, Wiz Khalifa, Tory Lanez, Too Short, Young M.A., Lizzo, Lil Baby, Cardi B, Doja Cat, Sukihana, Lil Durk, City Girls, Megan Thee Stallion, Tekashi 69, DaBaby, Lil Kim, Chief Keef, G Herbo, Mulatto, Flo Milli, and DreamDoll.
She doesn’t pull punches on any of them either. She says of Cardi, “Runnin’ through your party just so I can find Cardi, like, ‘B*tch, I’m finna give you your old teeth back!’” Of Megan Thee Stallion, she raps, “Run up on Megan like, ‘Give me your funds,’ and you can’t even run ’cause you just got shot.” She also says of Lizzo, “Catch Lizzo, drag her out the food court,” and notes of DaBaby, “Pull up on DaBaby, I change his Pampers.”
It doesn’t look like she’s trying to start any feuds, though, as she says at the top of the track, “Gang, gang, gang / If you hear your name, it’s all muhf*ckin’ love, don’t take sh*t personal / But you know how I’m finna slap this b*tch.”

Cate Von Csoke stirs a cinematic lament for life’s turbulence with her new single “Stormy Weather”
“Stormy Weather” by Cate Von Csoke is an otherworldly invitation to lose yourself in a haze of haunting melodic sophistication and hypnotic vocals. Co-produced by Brian MacFadyen, the composition effectively evokes a sober mood that feels like an intimate journey through the shadows of heartbreak, wrapped in the cinematic grandeur of Von Csoke’s signature desert-folk sound. It is a brief respite from life’s chaos that encourages introspection and renewal.
Written during the isolation of lockdown and amid personal upheaval, the song is an evocative masterpiece, blending Cate’s introspective lyricism with an atmospheric, almost Lynchian backdrop. It’s the song that feels like a soundtrack for a slow-motion escape where the rain might be pounding outside, but inside, the storm is within. Cate’s sultry, dark vocals carry the weight of every longing, every unresolved emotion, drawing listeners into a place that is equal parts dream and reality.
What sets “Stormy Weather” apart is its ability to offer solace through its melancholic beauty. There’s an undeniable catharsis in its cinematic swells and quiet pauses, creating a space for listeners to process their storms. In just 3:56 minutes, “Stormy Weather” doesn’t just play; the intricate instrumentation envelops listeners in a manner reminiscent of a storm cloud, becoming a refuge, a shelter from the emotional torrents we all endure.

The Brooklyn-based desert-folk artist again demonstrates that music can be a sanctuary, even in the stormiest times, making the storm feel less isolating and infinitely more poetic. It is a much-needed addition to the playlist of enthusiasts.
