The Game warned Tekashi 6ix9ine to “cut the tuff shit out before it’s too late” under a throwback photo of a fresh-faced 6ix9ine. YG followed-up on those threats with an Instagram video of his own asking him, “What’s happening, Blood?”

The controversial 6ix9ine isn’t phased though. He traded shots with The Game on social media and then appeared on The Breakfast Club saying he can go to any city he wants without checking in, including Houston and Los Angeles.

David Banner Reveals How He Recouped Over $100K Spent Making “The God Box”

It’s been almost a year since David Banner released The God Box and speaking with HipHopDX’s Kyle Eustice, Banner shares how he was able to make back what he spent creating the project. It wasn’t the album that generated the $100,000 spent to create it, but the actual “God Boxes” he sold on his website.

Each box was comprised of a flag, a t-shirt, Hidden Colors 3, Black Friday, autographed copies of The God Box (including, the chopped and screwed version), as well as stickers, pins and a copy of Anthony Browder’s The Browder Files.

“I spent over $100,000 to produce this album,” Banner told DX. “So, I had to take a break before I really concentrated on shooting videos and make some money back because I’m still a businessman. I’m not a fool. If the people aren’t going to move towards the movement, then I have to allow it to make money first. So, on DavidBanner.com, I created The God Boxes … And to be honest with you, The God Boxes initially sold more than the album did. I sold so many God Boxes that it literally paid for what I spent to record the album.”

#DXHitList: The Taz Taylor Session

Taz Taylor is one of the next breakout producers, and he’s coming into the game with a plan of his own in the form of Internet Money. Speaking with DX, the Florida producer curated a special #DXHitList playlist on Spotify for us and talked about the difference between industry producers and ones like himself getting placements with the likes of Gucci Mane, Kodak Black, Trippie Redd and Lil Skies.

“Producers kinda envy us out here,” he says. “These industry producers that I’ve met will spend 14 days to a month working on 10 beats to work on these sessions. We show up with 341 beats. They get jealous of us because they can’t compete. These artists go into other sessions buzzing about that shit.”

Statik Selektah Says Labeling New Music As “Old School” Is Bad For Hip Hop

DX caught up with Statik Selektah recently to discuss one of his tweets saying how lamenting how certain types of Hip Hop are labeled as “old school.” In his mind, this is a bad development.

“It’s bad for Hip Hop when people try to label anything with soul or a raw element to it as ‘90s or old school,” he tells DX. “It creates a separation. It makes the young kids look at sampling music as dated.”
