Interesting that you didn't deny having the answer to the question of Alvarez denying the hush money 🤔
@@IamDPerwhat’s the answer? I tried the link but I’m not willing to create an account just for this 1 article
Here from the hiphopdx days, glad to see you more often these days
How is hiphopdx these days? Haven’t really checked it out since he left
Frfr
Oh, THATS where I know him from lol! Thanks for saying that. I was wondering why he was so familiar to me.
The good old days!
We love you Justin keep speaking on it!
Same
It’s not real hip hop journalism unless it’s this level of quality
Big facts
Good God, imagine how weird Biggie VS Tupac would've been if they had social media.
The sad thing is, with social media and stuff they'd probably both still be alive.
Puff and Suge would’ve already been in jail
Pac would’ve went on a legendary Instagram live trolling run
@@Seoul_Soldier Definitely not. In any era, Pac getting into brawls with people with murder charges would've had people looking shooting up his car in any year
"First off, f your snap and ur tiktok is lame.", "You claimed to be a player but your podcast died." 😂😂
Best thing to come out from the beef is getting us company man back 😊🫡
This comment is on every video. We get it, bro.
Us company man?
@@Yay-hovah getting us company man back
@@Seoul_Soldier and I bet you are under every single comment saying the exact same thing you are now. We also get it. 🤣🤣
@@los1945 What does that even mean? What company men?
"I am not in a position to talk about his character outside of our meetings" is VERY specific wording. Given this is from a journalist who didn't deny the hush money allegations, to me this reads like him being as truthful as possible while dancing around an NDA.
This whole shit is a Batman movie
You and Fantano dropping nearly a few minutes apart talking about the same topic. EbonyPrince2K24 got YT creators working hard on this.
i’m here directly after that video
Same here. Great timing lol
Fantano is the Drake of reviewer/reactor. Shit
Dont speak that losers name on the real. Dudes biased and annoying...
@@gerrardandeminemnah he is legit and knowledgeable
Am I living in an episode of Atlanta?
Depends on how you spend your summer. 😂
I totally see this as one of those Darius side stories 😂
That laptop kinda looks like the ones the police use
It’s a Toughbook. One of those military grade joints.
"Never denies taking (the hush money)"
Good work Justin!!
Seems like everyone is in contact with Drake is Compromised
WHO'S LARRY, I DON'T KNOW! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This by far is the most bizarre post battle circus. It's beyond twilight zone vibes. Lol On every level It's spooky 👻
5:52 Well to be fair, there's a lot of alleged predator behavior by Elvis (I think he actually married a teenager), there was actually some controversy regarding his biopic because it completely ignored that aspect of Elvis.
Yes, he met his future wife when she was a minor. And, like R Kelly, the parents were fine with a grown, wealthy & influential man setting his sights on their daughter. They were "pen pals" and corresponded regularly until she reach the age of...maturity...and got married a little later. But we're not supposed to know about or talk about those things, for some reason. Celine Dion's hudband did the same with her, when she was young & malleable. And even the uniquely talented David Bowie has a very dark part of his history involving a SA situation. But they don't want people to bring up those things because deviancy and predation is only reserved to be a driving force behind people who havr cultural connections to hip hop and such. Remember how nobody knew about Danny Masterson's grape conviction until months after it happened? Or the fact that they gave Allison Mack a sweetheart deal for her recruitment in that cult (NXVIM)? It's so much of that stuff but they insulate and protect folks who do that...and will restrict you, in every possible way, if you do talk about it.
Thank you for the free content. I'm sorry I can't donate. As a disabled vet on a super tight income. I appreciate all you do for hip-hop, for journalism, and (as an outsider watching) pushing the culture forward
Also, the K-anon hole on Reddit is cooking up some fire
The fact that you even wanna donate speaks volumes about your character. Sending you lots of love and good fortune. 🫡🔥
Make sure you keep pushing for that P&T if you haven't gotten it already.
Omg, this is totally becoming Season 5 of The Wire
Do we really believe Alvarez didn’t know about the beef between Drake and Kendrick? Or that an international star had time to listen to “beats” at 3am with a man who is hearing impaired? Doesn’t make sense.
I swear I thought the same thing when I saw the article, he wasn’t a victim of drake, he was a witness on drake!!
Something happened and Christoper saw it and Drake payed him to deny it
It was also strange that he mentioned that he wasn't part of the plan, a possible slip up that there was a plan that he's aware of. Also the excuse of listening to beats at 3 am with a rapper that he supposedly has no close ties to is a little suspicious
Kendrink said on one of the diss tracks (i forgot which) “ the rabbit hole goes deep” and Coole Bravo had that interview where he said Kendrick did ALL diss tracks in one recording session but he got more in the vault, that if drake ever sneak disses Kendrick ever again in any track, he will drop the darkest diss tracks as of yet 😤😤 Kdot ain’t playing no more with the colonizer
Facts. I saw that interview too. I liked hearing from Coole
@@alexisaguirre6349 Wasnt Coole proven to be a troll who does not know Kendrick?
@@jayjohnson5346 idk I haven’t seen that
@@jayjohnson5346 yeah that guy is a fraud
Confusing and weird as hell ...i thought the journalist was a photoshop pic...this is nuts. Good to see you back, I found your channel when i was 20something...im 31 now❤🙌🏾
Can’t anymore w this one. There’s an album out by 4-IZE of Ludacris fame. It’s called ‘Ronald Reagan Sold Crack’.
Justin Hunte is the man
That type of professional insight into how journalism, specifically articles and fact checking generally goes down prior to publishing, is gold to me. I didn’t understand the background of editing, even if it’s from your experience - thanks Justin! Keep it up!
For me the Kendrick Vs Drake beef is over (for now). This is Drake Vs one of the other dozens of people he pissed-off. Honestly don’t care too much about this part at the moment-seems too gossipy for me now.
It was always gossipy
@@libraalibaba Yeah, but I could tolerate it and people were rapping. Now it’s just attempted extortion/blackmail by the hotep Riddler.
So the rap beef has turned into a psychological thriller or old school, prime time network drama like NYPD Blue or Twin Peaks. Didn't see this twist coming.
Also, you know who has to be loving this? Diddy, cause all the attention in the public is off him!
He said he was not at liberty to speak on Drake's character outside of music, us weird to me as well as by what he said it sounds like he seen some shit he can't speak on like he signed a NDA or some shit. Since he's a reporter he knows how to say with out saying anything or cover up himself to not be implicated.
@4:48 "WHO'S LARRY, I DON"T KNOW" this gave me such a deep chuckle - I need to find a reason to clip and use that for something
Put it in a Larry Bird video!
justin really had the best coverage and opinions of this beef.
he's the only one i've seen bring up drake's casino incident, and now this similar incident has, out of nowhere, apparently come to bite him in the ass is kinda crazy
Thank you!
this is legitimately comical , like so weird, eerie and specific that it devolves into full blown humor.
The whole statement reads like, I signed Aubrey’s NDA 🤷🏽
🎯
You haven’t seen evidence of predatory behavior from Drake? 🧢
Love your work man, you’re the go to for all this
Dude might get offed
I was waiting for your take! Thanks for clarifying these mess 😂
Best professional breakdown there is in this game. Ty for the vid!
Waa a long 9 months without u Justin, so happy to see you back and hope you're doing well!
Hello Justin! Thanks for the content. When will you drop the video that covers kendrick lamar side of the beef
Very articulate. A Clear and well spoken black man- Unlike SO Many other Black male TH-camrs‼️. An educated ,intelligent , & objective fairly unbiased man. Speaking plain English,No bravado or dumb adlibs Or Stoopid "Sounds of Sirens/bombs being dropped 👏✅ Other Black Men should take note. This is EXACTLY how you do it. ❣️👏🤩💯
I asked my girlfriend's eight yr old son "You know this song? THEY NOT LIKE US!" he said yeah, it's on fortnight 😂😂
💀💀
So glad to see you pumping out these videos. Keep up the good work bro! 🎊
Man I don’t want you burning out but definitely loving all the drops
bro drake has that weird video with the teenager on stage thats def predator behavior
There’s basically three confirmed situations with 18 years old he knew younger. Sza, Hailie Bieber and I think the third is Bella Harris. Could have wrong name
Love you perspectives my g
Great cover!! Interesting info for sure 💯
That sign off was cold 🥶
Elvis in his final for got me 🤣🤣
Great rationale and objective breakdown. Also great catch on the article. Really strange times.
I doubt it was a simple oversight. I have a feeling a couple lawyers looked at that article as well to avoid any further accusations be they either ethical impropriety or defamatory.
I’m so glad that you’re back.
No one is as logical as you man I love your breakdowns u are extremely informative 😅
This is where I would insert the Wee-Bey from The Wire meme 🤯
Didn't deny taking the hush money, because leading up to that article... It did seem like there was more information coming, dude dropped the 💣 emoji in his Twitter post and as far as I can tell, didn't make the time deadline associated with it... Which made me wonder if editors were locked in on what would finally get released
However, I should probably shut down from this overload of information this week
love your take man thanks for keeping me in the loop lol
You should make a patreon! Dont even gotta go crazy with the tiers and shit but a montly thing Id definitely hop on that
that's why your the best in hip hop news. Hush money not denied, even with all the editors. great catch!
You’re really good at your job Justin. Thank you.
I've been so fascinated with this guy but the longer he drags this out, the more I wonder if he is just leaning into the pedo stuff to draw more attention and sell the items at a higher price. He might have the items but it doesn't prove anything else he says.
This is starting to feel like hip-hop fanfiction.
Yeah this stuff just keep getting weirder
Let's take a moment... an acknowledge that Ghostface Killah drop a new album.
TCM has been steady killin it with these drops... it's all happening!
Justin and Dead End the only perspectives and opinions I fully trust!! 💯
Is this a new channel? Cause I swear I was subscribed to you years ago
Nope. Same channel.
Here since the All Out Show
Thank you Sir!
This is wild as f**k , dope vid Justin
Wow.... Crazy catch. I didn't even notice that. 😊
Clearly can tell why drake waved the white flag. Dude has a kid who he appears hes trying to raise, shooting, multiple weirdos breaking into his house, and then this weird shit. Man shouldve just hit up Travis or Smack and did an actual battle and keep it moving.
i understand reserving judgement definitively on whether or not drake is a predator, but I feel like any reasonable person can see that the info thats out there makes him look suspicious and weird at the very least
Brilliant coverage. I hadn't noticed that he never denied taking hush money. It's speculation, but still well-observed 👍
I knew if Justin was covering this there was going to be something interesting going on besides the drama of it all.
Nice to constantly get evidence that Mr. Hunte is one of the best in his field at the moment.
Why are all you journalists using the term mole incorrectly, that term would indicate that this person is someone within the camp.
The simplest amswer usually is the truest. Or what ever you said. So can that be applied to the closing statement of the video?
It's all happening!!
Anyway, it's my opinion that Alvarez is denying the hush money through inference. You can say things without explicitly saying them - when you say "and now i'm being accused of this ridiculous thing" you are implicitly stating it's false by how absurd the notion of it is. The point of clarity to say "By the way, it is not true" is redundant or else you simply would not address the accusation in the first place. Some things don't merit a response, and acknowledgement itself is not an admission of guilt. The ambiguity is only there to be read into because we're so enveloped in the controversy that we want there to be more layers to the story than there actually are, and would rather keep asking a hundred questions than accept boring unsatisfactory answer that he has nothing to do with this beef, which is clearly the point he was making - which would include any alleged hush money.
You just earned a Sub
You're very attentive. I missed that he didn't deny taking it.
First !!!!!!! And yo Justin keep doing what your doing you are the Goat. Greatis of all time!!!
The Riddler!!! ⁉️🤣
1) $800K? I'd be quiet, too.
2) # for 3am rendezvous plz?
3) No truth can come from liars
4) pic of Alvarez with black eye?
Justin used to end every breakdown with “I don’t have the answers to these questions”. I think this time it’s different. It’s all happening.
ITS🗣️ ALL🗣️ HAPPENING🗣️
If you have time could you do a video piece on the impact of Hip Hop culture/artists in resistance movements? Examples could possibly include, Kendrick's Alright, etc. These genocidal times continue, from ongoing state oppression and brutality experienced by AA's/BA's in the US to the brutal incursions in Congo, Sudan, etc. With your analysis skills and ,frankly, charm, I'm sure it would be great.
Listening to new beats at 3am after a show is interesting 😂
One of the few pieces of interesting information ebonyprince revealed was that Chris Alverez was only in the hotel for 1 minute. Which is not enough time to listen to beats. He is also hard of hearing.
It’s also odd because Chris has said that he has a body like a 9 mth old but he wasnt with any assistant.
I dont know what happened and we may never know. But I dont think he was there to listen to beats lol
Hip Hop culture is better weekly when King Justin drops with the analysis
Where are the t-shirts? I got a red "It's all happening" t-shirt like 4 / 5 years ago, got swole and now I need a new one
My favourite show ❄️👌🏽
As a grown man you know who you follow. This shit ain’t over just watch. Damage control
This is too weird because ebony princess is saying he lied lol
If we see a video what’s next 💀
He’s not a company man HES THE COMPANY MANNNNNN
Damn Kendrick opened a whole can of snakes
This is a good catch. This news org seems to have learned from the trump cases and realized that openly denying taking hush money to cover up a crime is also a crime.
Ahh haaa (Eddie Murphy barber shop scene) sometimes it’s what you don’t say!! Good pick up!
Can someone give me some weed please
I just wish Justin had the answers to these questions :(
If Justin Hunte is here, it's all happening.
something happened that night and in time things will come to light.
Let's break it down
When there’s a grease fire red seal chefs know just how to suffocate a fire before it spreads. I’m not saying these are talented people that are sophisticated in the how to of burying stories burying stories. Not saying that at all.
I appreciate and thank you for your work, but I think I'm going to bow out until the next song drops. This is starting to get weird.
It's insane that Drake actually REALLY lied on his last diss. LITERALLY PLAYING THE CHARACTER Kendrick SAID HE WAS Lmao
Bro, seriously, is he that stupid!? He really couldn't help himself? Jesus, Lying is his cocaine lol
