A Judge Has Ordered Lil Nas X And MSCHF To Stop Selling Their Nike ‘Satan Shoes’

It was reported a couple days ago that Nike sued MSCHF Product Studio, which collaborated with Lil Nas X on the controversial “Satan shoes.” Now, it looks like that situation is swinging in Nike’s favor so far, as The Hollywood Reporter notes that a federal judge has ordered MSCHF to stop selling the custom Air Max 97 shoes. The shoes quickly sold out when initially put for sale, so it would seem Nike is trying to prevent those orders from being fulfilled.

Nike filed a trademark lawsuit against MSCHF earlier this week and followed up with a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. Nike claims the shoes will dilute their brand and the company “submitted evidence that even sophisticated sneakerheads were confused.” A Nike attorney also noted, “We have submitted numerous evidence that some consumers are saying they will never buy Nike shoes ever again.”

In a letter to the judge, MSCHF’s attorneys argued that the limited edition shoes are “not typical sneakers, but rather individually-numbered works of art that were sold to collectors for $1,018 each,” and notes that confusion among the shoes’ customers isn’t likely “given the sophistication of purchasers.”

Naturally, Nas has handled the whole situation with his signature sense of humor.

2Pac & Eminem United On Defiant “Soldier Like Me”

Prior to the release of 2Pac’s posthumous Loyal To The Game, Eminem asked Afeni Shakur if he could personally executive produce the project. Upon being granted permission, Em went on to produce the entirety of the 2004 album, which ultimately went on to receive mixed reviews upon release. Now, seventeen years removed from its arrival, enough dust has settled to reassess Eminem’s addition to 2Pac Shakur’s musical legacy. And where better to start than with the album’s introductory cut, and one of Em’s only vocal contributions, “Soldier Like Me.”

Over an instrumental that sounds like something Eminem might have laced for himself, Obie Trice, or 50 Cent during their early millennium Shady Records run, 2Pac’s vocals retain the same commanding presence we’ve come to expect from the late legend. “A ni*ga’s got enough knocks, I’m poppin’ at corrupt cops,” raps Pac, over Slim’s creeping keyboards. “Them motherfuckers catch a hot one / You wanted to start a problem, now you coward cops have got one.” 

While the production is certainly different territory for Pac, it’s interesting to hear his music imagined through Eminem’s creative lens — seventeen years removed from the release of Loyal To The Game, how do you feel about Eminem and 2Pac’s collaborative project? 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

A ni**a’s got enough knocks, I’m poppin’ at corrupt cops
Them motherfuckers catch a hot one
You wanted to start a problem
Now you coward cops have got one
And there’s no prison that can hold a
Motherfuckin’ soldier, ready to roll and take control
So now I jack ’em while they sleepin’
Roll to the door, throw a grenade in the precinct

Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 14 Unveiled: Official Photos

Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the NBA right now and ever since he came into the league, he has been a superstar. When you attain the same type of status as KD, it is customary that you end up with your very own signature shoe. Over the years, KD has released numerous shoes with Nike and now, he has yet another one on the way, this time in the Nike KD 14.

The shoe was finally unveiled and as you can see in the images below, the very first colorway will come complete with a leopard skin upper. However, it seems as though a black and red offering might be released first. As for the aesthetics, we have a strap over the mid-foot all while the midsole has Zoom Air. KD’s logo is placed in the middle of the tongue and for some of the OG Durant fans, these shoes have a bit of an early 2010s feel, which is when KD’s shoes hit their peak.

As for the first pair, they are expected to come out on April 17th, so be on the lookout for new offerings at your local sneaker store. In the meantime, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest sneaker news and updates.

Deante’s Hitcock Flexes His Wordplay On “Baptize x Spillage Village (Freestyle)”

Deante’ Hitchcock initially built his buzz as a rising artist out of Atlanta by frequently dropping videos of him freestyling in his car. After catching the attention of Mark Pitts and RCA, Hitchcock eventually moved away from his characteristic freestyles in favor of crafting his incredible debut album Better, which released last May. As of late, however, the “How TF” artist has been returning to his roots with a weekly freestyle series, aptly titled #NewAtlantaTuesdays. After slaughtering popular beats from Lil Wayne, Drake, SpotemGottem, and OutKast, Deante’ Hitchcok just returned with a freestyle over Spillage Village’s “Baptize,” marking a full month of freestyles from the talented lyricist. 

Following last week’s freestyle over OutKast’s “Roses” in which the rapper demanded his roses, Hitchcock’s “Baptize” freestyle gives his listeners another call of action — to take up arms against police if he’s ever shot down by a cop. Riddled with bars and double entendres that’ll surely have your face scrunched up, Deante’ Hitchcock’s “Baptize” freestyle proves why the Atlanta artist is a worthy competitor for the 10th spot on the forthcoming XXL Freshman list.

Quotable Lyrics

Baby where I stay, we all be sharin’ guns/sharingans like Sasuke
Ted Dibiase, I say Ase to my misses. She call me god, she be trippin’
But I be trippin’ cuz I ain’t see enough god in me then to listen
Now it’s different
But I’m still the same n*gga in some capacities
So please don’t say my name in vain cuz n*ggas swill blasphemy/blast for me

Rico Nasty Reveals One Of Her Deepest Secrets

Rico Nasty is one of the most eccentric and exciting women in rap. She’s a breath of fresh air as she unapologetically invites fans into her world to experience the full extent of her creativity. She’s created quite an impressive catalog of music over the years, including her recent debut studio album Nightmare Vacation, which included some of the hottest music videos of the last year.

As the DMV native continues to strive for new heights in music, she decided to reveal one of her deepest and darkest secrets to the world for fear of it apparently coming out without her consent. She felt comfortable enough to tell her fans that, years ago, she was selling pictures of her feet to people online.

“Alright yall I have this really big secret I’ve been holding back but I think imma get exposed soon,” said Rico on Twitter. “So before y’all hear it any where else . I used to sell feet pictures like 4 years ago … I was dedicated but I’ve stopped ok bye.”

It’s unclear if this is some sort of April Fool’s joke or if she’s actually telling the truth about her feet pics. For what it’s worth, she also trolled her fans with a fake sex tape leak, sharing a minute-long video of herself humping the air and laughing on Thursday.

Funk Flex Names The “Hottest Rapper Out”

Though some might argue that radio doesn’t hold as much relevancy as it once did, the word of Funkmaster Flex still holds value. Known for his appreciation of bars in the purest form (some say that he actually gains nutrients from them), Funk Flex has been no stranger to the hot take, though many have come to appreciate his frank delivery and unapologetic demeanor.

While it’s hard to debate the current best rapper of today, given how many viable options exist at any given moment, Funk Flex recently came through to offer up his own decisive take on the matter. Sharing a clip of DaBaby spitting in an upcoming music video, Flex gave him a glowing endorsement, deem him the “Hottest rapper out, but you knew that already!”

While it’s unclear as to whether or not Flex’s “hottest” label speaks to the quality of work or simple popularity, it’s evident that the longtime radio personality holds DaBaby in the highest regard. He’s certainly not alone in that assessment, as the game at large has been quick to rally around the North Carolina spitter. Case in point, DaBaby earned a lofty placement — sixth place to be exact — as one of 2021’s most-streamed rappers of the year so far

Check out Funk Flex’s glowing review of DaBaby below, and sound off if you agree with the man — is DaBaby the hottest rapper out right now? 

YNW Melly Teases New Music: “Y’all Miss Me?”

YNW Melly released his latest single a few weeks ago, dropping off “Thugged Out” with Kodak Black from behind bars. The catchy record unpacks the life that the two Florida rappers have chosen for themselves and it appears to be part of something larger for the currently incarcerated rapper, whose real name is Jamell Demons. Demons is presently facing the death penalty and is awaiting trial for the murders of his two friends YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy.

The 21-year-old rapper previously released his latest studio album, titled Melly Vs. Melvin, while in jail in 2019 and he may be gearing up to drop a second album from behind bars. 

On Wednesday night, YNW Melly took to his social media accounts to tease a new project, asking fans who they want to see him collaborate with. “Y’all miss me???” he asked. “Who wants a new Melly album?? Drop what collabs yall want to see in the comments n Ima get to it.”

Melvin has been hyping fans up for his eventual return home for the last two years, telling his supporters that he’ll “soon” be back with his family. His co-defendant YNW Bortlen was released on bond but Melly was denied.

Who do you want to see the young rapper collaborate with once he gets out? Are there any up-and-coming Florida rappers that you want to see him get on a song with?
