The Firm Tapped Dr. Dre For Mafioso Banger “Firm Fiasco”

Today marks the twenty-third birthday of The Firm’s first and only album, appropriately titled The Album. And while it was hardly praised upon its initial release in 1997, the Dr. Dre produced mafioso record has since developed a bit of retroactive acclaim, with many having come to see the project in a new light. Of course, much has been made about “Phone Tap,” but The Album actually has more than a few highlights worth exploring, including the second track “Firm Fiasco.” 

Also produced by Dre, who opts to slide gracefully into his criminology bag with a classy and slightly menacing instrumental, “Firm Fiasco” features verses from AZ, Nas, and Foxy Brown. “Personally, I existed when Earth was in need, indeed, human life form transformed from light storms,” spits AZ, channeling some metaphysical energy. “Protons, electrons, neutrons, iced long / Nights long, reptilians, I’ll see y’all in the next millennium.” Foxy Brown makes sure to close things out on a decisive note, rapping “Whoever dare cross us, distort the thoughts across a bitch mind / Pops the nine, leave ’em restin’ in pieces, all my thorough bitches peep this.” 

Happy anniversary to The Firm’s The Album, a release that — at the very least — deserves a second chance. Where do you stand on the oft-forgotten release?

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Full clips for loose lips by this young ruthless
Suck the pearl tongue juices off your fly missus
Take her out to the Spark’s Steakhouse
Gentleman style, coincidental
Family’s here, meet femme fatale

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.

Even though they’ve parted ways, Rubi reassured fans that there’s no hard feelings between her and Druski. “It’s in the past now. 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.
