In this episode of Billboard Unfiltered, Billboard staffers Trevor Anderson, Kyle Denis, Damien Scott, Carl Lamarre discuss LiAngelo Ball’s rapid rise in the hip-hop world leading with his “Tweaker” track. They also break down Drake’s “Fighting Irish Freestyle,” his alleged fake DMs with UMG, Lil Baby’s new album WHAM, and his career, and more.
Trevor Anderson:
So if you don’t drop that by like Valentine’s Day, you’ve got to save it. I can’t see Drake waiting that long to drop something that’s going to be bad.
Damien Scott:
All you hear from every spot is the BBL. That’s all you hear. The Young Thug track is here, the GloRilla song is over here.
Carl Lamarre:
Numbers, freakin’ “Tweakers” is at 3 million on YouTube and it was surpassing some tracks on Lil Baby’s album
Damien Scott:
Alright, let’s relax.
Carl Lamarre:
I mean on YouTube that’s the way it’s going.
Damien Scott:
That’s a lie.
Carl Lamarre:
Yo, yo, yo what’s going on welcome to a fresh episode of Billboard Unfiltered. Gentlemen.
Kyle Denis:
Happy New Year.
Carl Lamarre:
Happy f*cking New Year.
Trevor Anderson:
2025 folks.
Carl Lamarre:
Somebody decided to bring in the chaos of 2024 into 2025, Mr. Aubrey Graham.
Kyle Denis:
Surprise, surprise.
Carl Lamarre:
Drizzy Drake Rogers kicked off 2025 with a conductive freestyle, “Fighting Irish Freestyle.” Three minutes long, some bars in there I would like to say. “Social media went into a tizzy. Had some choice words. A lot of people pointed a finger thinking he may be going after LeBron James.”
Damien Scott:
Clearly going after LeBron James.
Carl Lamarre:
I mean, we don’t know.
Damien Scott:
Who else played for the Fighting Irish?
Keep watching for more!
