Inspectah Deck Spit Bars On RZA-Produced “Movas & Shakers”

The Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most respected crews in the entirety of music, and yet many still sleep on the individual output of each member. True, projects like Method Man’s Tical, Ghosface Killah’s Supreme Clientele, and Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… have earned acclaim as classics, and rightfully so. But then you have underrated albums like Inspectah Deck’s 1999 debut Uncontrolled Substance, which officially celebrates its twenty-first anniversary on this very day. 

On the surface, Deck opted to shift away from the Clan dynamic for his first solo album, though not entirely — the RZA still slid through to lace the album’s second track “Movas & Shakers.” Immediately striking a nostalgic tone, RZA’s horn-driven instrumental provides Deck with the perfect backdrop to flex his dexterous flow. “Rebellious I, felonous city slicker, real ni*ga hit ya district with the impact of a twista,” he spits, in his opening bars. “Now clear the zone, rhyme down the phone lines and toss motor homes / my poems were found next to dinosaur bones.” 

Be sure to check out some tunes from Inspectah Deck’s debut album, and show some love to one of the more underappreciated solo drops to emerge from the Clan camp in the nineties. Does anybody have any fond memories around this one?

QUOTABLE LYRICS

My poems were found next to dinosaur bones
Perform by the elders before the king’s throne
This style has no origin or birth date
And scientists research can not calculate
The great mind skatin’ through space and time
Vibratin’ thru the bass lines that stun mankind

Rubi Rose Comes Clean About Druski Romance and Why She Lied

Honk Magazine

After months of rumors and mixed messages, Rubi Rose has finally cleared up the confusion about her relationship with comedian Druski. During a live stream with Adin Ross, Rubi admitted that her romance with Druski was real, despite her earlier claims that it was just a publicity stunt. Her reason for saying that? She was heartbroken. In her candid moment on the stream, Rubi said, “Okay, something embarrassing that I’ve never told anybody. Me and Dru were really in a relationship, and I said it was PR because he pissed me the f**k off and hurt my feelings.” This surprising admission showed that her initial denial was more about protecting her heart than trying to generate buzz.

For fans who had been following their relationship, this news ends the back-and-forth. Rubi and Druski started sparking dating rumors in April 2024, their fun chemistry getting everyone talking. But by July, they had officially broken up, with Rubi claiming their relationship was just for the media’s attention. Druski, however, had always insisted that their connection was real, a point Rubi now agrees with. Looking back, Rubi reflected on her previous actions, admitting, “That was really lame of me and embarrassing. I shouldn’t have said that. But it was, like, I had to stand on it.” This moment of honesty gives fans a glimpse into celebrities’ pressures regarding love and public perception.

And we’re friends and we’re cool still,” she shared, mentioning that they’ve known each other since high school. While the ups and downs of their relationship made for interesting headlines, Rubi’s honesty provides a refreshing look at the challenges of being in the spotlight. Whether it was love or just a lesson learned, it’s clear that Rubi Rose is embracing her reality and moving forward, regardless of what others say.

Lil Scrappy Fires Back at Bambi’s “Eleven” Diss with Laughter and Shade

Honk Magazine

If anyone thought that Lil Scrappy and Bambi were going to resolve their issues quietly after their messy breakup, they were in for a surprise. The former couple has been going back and forth publicly for months, and Bambi has taken it to the next level with her new diss track called “Eleven.” In the song, she doesn’t hold back, taking jabs at Scrappy’s money problems, his children from different relationships, and even throwing shade at her rivals from the show Love & Hip Hop. However, Scrappy seems unfazed by it all, laughing off her claims.

Scrappy took to social media to respond, smirking as he called out Bambi for allegedly lying about her age and exaggerating her statements in “Eleven.” He pointed out that if he was as broke as she claims, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with his child support payments. It’s a classic comeback of “If I’m struggling, how am I still paying you?” With that, Scrappy managed to throw some shade right back at her. Their conflict isn’t only about the song; it also affects their personal lives and even Scrappy’s other relationships.

Recently, his ex-girlfriend, Erica Dixon, called out his mother, Momma Dee, for showing up to a baby shower without a paternity test for the baby involved. That baby, born to hairstylist Shakira Hardy, adds another layer to the already complicated situation in Scrappy’s life. Through all this chaos, Scrappy appears calm, or at least that’s how he’s presenting himself to the public. His response to “Eleven” was less about what Bambi said and more about poking fun at her claims. Whether he’s just trying to cope with the situation or genuinely moving on, this drama isn’t coming to an end anytime soon.
