\n\tThe calendar has turned to April. With quarter 1 of 2025 officially in the rear view, which was a busy three months in the hip-hop world, Billboard Unfiltered<\/em> is back with a new episode on Wednesday (April 2).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trio is joined by Hot 97 and proud Duke University hater Peter Rosenberg for the discussion, which touches on Drake\u2019s<\/a> \u201cNOKIA\u201d video and what it means for Kendrick Lamar<\/a>, Mustard\u2019s comeback, Ye\u2019s <\/a>interview with DJ Akademiks and more.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tDrake Plans a Night Out on His Hotline in Black & White \u2018NOKIA\u2019 Video Starring NBA\u2019s Shai\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tDirected by Theo Skudra and shot in IMAX, \u201cNokia\u201d arrived on Monday in black-and-white, and some fans perceived certain scenes to be jabs at Lamar.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI saw connections people were drawing, and it felt like a reach,\u201d Rosenberg said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t enough to warrant major conversation to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRosenberg thinks Drake should continue to dish out the hits and shy away from the Kendrick Lamar snipes. \u201cIf I\u2019m Drake, I\u2019m probably staying away from the Kendrick stuff,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd focusing on this. No matter what people say about this man, the hits are coming. Drake is fully back on the Hot 100.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hot 97 radio host called Mustard\u2019s hot streak one of the \u201cgreatest comebacks\u201d in music history after the producer helmed \u201cNot Like Us\u201d and then hit the stage at the Grammy Awards, as well as Lamar\u2019s Super Bowl LIX halftime show.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat comeback to producer of the year to onstage at the Grammys to at the Super Bowl,\u201d he said. \u201cThat may be one of the greatest music comebacks of all time. And It\u2019s not really being talked about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYe sat down with DJ Akademiks for an explosive interview last week, which saw him double-down on his hate for Jay-Z<\/a> following his flagrant tweet about Jay\u2019s twins<\/a>, Sir and Rumi.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s so no coming back from where he\u2019s going,\u201d Rosenberg said. \u201cThere\u2019s no response at this point to Ye that I would think is inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHot 97\u2019s Summer Jam is back in 2025 with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Gunna, GloRilla and more performing. While the event has moved indoors to Prudential Center, Rosenberg reflects on how the festival has transformed from its heyday in the \u201990s to now.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat I\u2019m not gonna do is get up here and say, \u2018Summer Jam\u2019s the same as its ever been.\u2019 It\u2019s definitely not the same and it\u2019s not coming back,\u201d he added. \u201cBut I\u2019m not gonna get up here and say it\u2019s not a good time. \u2026 It\u2019s not 2001, it\u2019s not Michael Jackson with Jay-Z.\u201d<\/p>\n
