“The Batman” Teaser Gives Clues About Bruce Wayne’s Family Issues Ahead Of March Premiere

Matt Reeves’ The Batman is a little over a month away from premiering, and ahead of its theatrical release, the film’s creators have given us another look at what’s to come from the highly anticipated superhero film.

“The truth about Gotham is coming,” a tweet shared to the movie’s official Twitter page reads. “Are you ready? Get tickets for #TheBatman starting February 10th, only in theatres March 4th.”

As Hypebeast notes, much of the footage included in the visual has already been seen in the previously released trailers, although there is one brand new moment, which sees Remember Me actor Robert Pattinson in character as Bruce Wayne, standing alongside Commissioner Gordon and the GCPD.

While they stare at a board loaded with newspaper clippings of Wayne’s father, Thomas, the word “orphanage” appears, strategically placed to grab our attention.

Elsewhere, we see Pattinson’s character attending a funeral, where he’s lectured for “not doing his best to protect the city of Gotham,” as well as a scene with Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman (who fans have been endlessly praising online thanks to her talent and sex appeal), and a teaser in the form of The Riddler blackmailing our hero with a family secret. “It’s all about the Waynes,” Selina Kyle can be heard saying. 

The Batman tickets will be available beginning February 10th, and the film’s theatrical premiere is set for March 4th. Check out the latest teaser trailer above, and the full-length sneak peek below. Will you be checking out Matt Reeves’ latest project?

NLE Choppa Takes On “Still Tippin” For LA Leakers Freestyle

Anytime a rapper heads up to Power 106 on the West Coast, there’s a good chance that their skills will be put to the test. Justin Credible and DJ Sour Milk have brought some of the illest MCs in the game to deliver a quick freestyle on their show. Some have completely obliterated the mic, as expected, while others exceed expectations.

Today, NLE Choppa stepped up to the microphone for L.A. Leakers Freestyle #127. Marking his inaugural freestyle on the show, NLE Choppa came through with bars over Mike Jones’ hypnotizing “Still Tippin” instrumental where he showed his pride for his Memphis with a barrage of bars flexing his witty wordplay.

NLE Choppa’s latest freestyle arrives on the heels of the release of his latest album, Me Vs. Me.

Quotable Lyrics
I got a bad bitch out the D
I got a hood bitch out the Chi
One of ’em stay on Royal Oak
One of ’em live off King Drive
One of ’em like to bump Ginuwine
Other one bumpin’ Von when she ride me
Detroit bitch like to wear bust
My Chiraq bitch keep a numba nine

Drake Trends After Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Announce Pregnancy

This week kicked off with some huge news for RihRock supporters. Rihanna is officially pregnant with A$AP Rocky’s child. The couple shared the news with a set of pregnancy reveal photos that showed Rihanna showing off her baby bump in a pink jacket that exposed her belly. The photos were reportedly shot in Rocky’s stomping grounds of Harlem.

Fans expressed their excitement for Rihanna and Rocky as they enter parenthood. Some were mildly disappointed since it likely meant that Rihanna’s next album wouldn’t arrive anytime soon. Overall, people were happy for Rocky and Rihanna.

Unfortunately, the announcement also opened the gates for fans to recall Drake’s crush on Rihanna. While the two did go out at one point in time, that relationship fizzled out and it appears that both Rihanna and Drake are apparently not even on speaking terms. Nonetheless, Twitter went in on Drizzy with a slew of hilarious memes and reactions. Some suggested that this would inspire some bars, or even a song, on Drake’s follow-up to Certified Lover Boy. Other users on Twitter also joked that Drake and Chris Brown are currently texting each other about the news.

Of course, Drake professed his love to Rihanna in 2016 at the MTV Video Music Awards where he presented her with the Vanguard Award. He also tried to kiss her which did not work in his favor.

Nonetheless, the memes have been quite entertaining so far. Check it out below.

Top 5 Rapper Freestyles From Adin Ross’ Twitch Stream

Adin Ross is just 21 years old, but he is already one of the most popular media personalities on the internet. He is also one of the most polarizing, and it is all because of his boisterous demeanor which sometimes ventures into the grey area of “gay-baiting,” where he will pretend to be attracted to men as a joke. This has pissed off a whole heap of artists, including the likes of Polo G, who got legitimately angry at Ross for some of his antics last year.

Aside from that, Ross has quickly climbed the ranks to become one of Twitch’s most successful creators. After starting his career as a 2K streamer who once played with Bronny James Jr, Ross was able to switch over to GTA Role Playing, and even gambling, which is where his streams really started to take off. From there, he linked up with popular YouTubers Zias and B-Lou, which then allowed him to enjoy even more success as he was introduced to a whole plethora of rappers, who ended up coming on his stream.

From Blueface to Trippie Redd to Lil Yachty to Tory Lanez, Ross’ streams became the go-to place for rappers to do promo. With new albums coming out every month, Ross was able to take full advantage, and as it stands, the 21-year-old can yield upwards of 100,000 viewers if he gets a good guest on his stream. Simply put, Ross’ rise to fame has been meteoric.

When rappers appear on his stream, they have a tendency to provide fans with some viral freestyles, and we took it upon ourselves to provide you with five of the best ones we have seen so far. From dope bars to funny lyrics to interesting melodies, there is a lot to admire from the clips presented below.


Soulja Boy

Soulja Boy is a very interesting artist. He is the blueprint for a lot of the rap we see today, however, his music hasn’t gotten the shine it once did. I mean, how could you forget his spat with Kanye West over the whole “Remote Control” verse. Regardless, Soulja is immensely talented whenever he indulges in freestyles, and his August stream with Adin Ross was an example of that. As you can see above, Soulja offers up some dope bars and his flow was especially impressive to commenters who noted that they want to see the man do stuff like this more often. 


Cordae

At this point, everyone should know that Cordae can rap. The man is easily one of the most lyrical young talents in the game right now, and whenever he hops on a beat, he’s able to merk it in every which way possible. With that being said, it should come as no surprise that Cordae was able to give Ross one of the most impressive technical freestyles we have ever seen on the stream. Many fans have labeled this as the best freestyle Ross has ever hosted, although it could also be described as a close second to the final entry on this list. Either way, Cordae did his thing and it was truly a sight to behold.


Lil Tjay

Lil Tjay might be an autotuned crooner from the new school, but that doesn’t mean he can’t rap when commanded to. While appearing on Ross’ stream, Tjay showed everyone his rapping ability, and it brought a ton of new fans to his music. Not to mention, Tjay’s bars went pretty damn hard and Ross’ reactions only made the freestyle that much better. In addition to all of this, Tjay was extremely cool and collected during the stream, and it made for a pleasant viewing experience. Ross and Tjay had a ton of on-camera energy, and that’s probably why we got such an entertaining freestyle, that will forever be appreciated by fans.


Lil Uzi Vert

Adin’s stream with Lil Uzi Vert was easily one of his best. There were a few wholesome moments through the stream, including the time when Uzi went and dyed Adin’s hair. There was also the moment in which Uzi smacks Adin for only doing things that his viewers told him to do. Uzi dropped gems saying that Ross should live life for himself, and not for others. A solid piece of advice given the fact that Ross is still young and can be easily influenced by the illusion that is clout.

Eventually, these two engaged in a short freestyle over a very relaxing beat. The song was posted to Adin’s channel and was promptly called “Ballin.” Uzi has always had an ear for melodies, and this freestyle was no exception, even if the lyrics weren’t anything to write home about. Either way, it was a very memorable moment and it is one that showcases Ross’ reach.


Tory Lanez

Tory Lanez has proven to be one of the most competent freestylers in rap right now, and he certainly showcased that on what is now the most iconic freestyle to ever grace Adin Ross’ stream. As you can see in the clip above, Tory raps over the “She Make It Clap” beat, and it was solid all the way through. The freestyle was so good that it even became a viral TikTok sound. These days, this clip is considered to be one of the best that Adin Ross has ever produced, and it just goes to show that his broadcast has delivered some pretty great moments over the last couple of years.

Tory and Adin proceeded to do a lot of content together, and their chemistry truly shines through here. This was also done at a time when Tory had lost a lot of public favor, and the freestyle ultimately got fans interested in his music again. All-in-all, both benefitted greatly from the moment.

Let us know which freestyle was your favorite, in the comments down below.

When you think it’s love
And you’re all caught up
Need to escape (Like yesterday)
Am I gonna get in the way
Of sweet relief?
I have packed my bags and I am ready
