Month: June 2022

Kanye West’s Yeezy brand has grown so much over the last few years. This is a brand that has a ton of offerings and while they are constantly delivering new shoes, there is no doubt that Kanye likes to play the classics. One such classic is the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 which has gotten a brand new iteration called CMPCT. This sneaker takes the 350 V2 design and gives it a whole new upper all while keeping the silhouette of the bottom half.

The latest colorway to be shown off can be found below. This model is called “Slate Carbon” and from top to bottom we are hit with black tones. From the primeknit to the midsole, these are as stealthy as it gets. There is a bit of brown underneath the upper and it adds a nice bit of contrast that helps take this latest CMPCT colorway to the next level.

If you are hoping to get your hands on these kicks, you will be able to do so as of Saturday, June 4th for a price of $230 USD over at Adidas.com/Yeezy. As always, let us know what you think of these, in the comments down below, and stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Cordae is calling for the freedom of Young Thug, Gunna, and the rest of the YSL members listed in the massive 56-count indictment filed against the group, last month. The From a Birds Eye View rapper expressed support for YSL on Twitter, Wednesday.

“Free the Whole YSL Family! They showed me more genuine love than damn near anybody!” Cordae wrote in his first post.

He followed that up: “Protect Black Art! Also Using Lyrics against someone on trial is nuts! It’s a form of self expression that shouldn’t be used in a literal sense especially in a court of law!!!”

The 28 members of YSL were originally indicted on May 9th. Thug was charged with conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and participation in criminal street gang activity, before being hit with several additional charges following a raid on his house. Gunna has been charged with one count of conspiring to violate RICO.

In the indictment, several lyrics from songs by the artists were listed as evidence. Among them were multiple tracks off of YSL’s 2020 compilation album, Slime Language 2, including “Take it to Trial,” “Ski,” and “Slatty.”

“The First Amendment does not protect people from prosecutors using [lyrics] as evidence,” Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis said after Thug and Gunna’s arrests.

Cordae isn’t alone in his criticism of the use of rap lyrics as evidence. New York recently put forth a measure to restrict their use in court, which garnered support from Bobby Shmurda.

Check out Cordae’s recent tweets below.

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors have mostly coasted throughout the NBA playoffs. They have not faced a real challenge yet as teams like the Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, and Memphis Grizzlies all dealt with injuries. Regardless, the Warriors remain favorites to win the NBA Finals as they take on the Boston Celtics.

While the Warriors are the favorites right now, Green is very much aware of the fact that the Celtics are one of the best teams in the league. Since the all-star break, the Celtics have the best record in the league, and the Warriors will be facing a defense that they have yet to crack. The Celtics continue to be a tough test for the Warriors and Green knows it will be a dog fight.

On his latest show, per Andscape, Green explained the key to defeating the Celtics. As you can see, it will all come down to identifying glaring weaknesses.

Per Green:

“For pretty much since January, that’s been the best team in our league, and what can we do to combat some of their strengths and not play into their hands, try to expose some of their weaknesses? I think that’s what us, the Warriors, need to figure out.…

But it’s really just understanding what their strengths are and how to exploit the weakness. They’re a great defensive team. Absolutely incredible. But they have defensive weaknesses, right? That’s with anybody. You can be as great of a defensive team as you want, at some point every great thing has a weakness, and so can we figure out what those weaknesses are? That’s the challenge, right?”

This series is expected to go six or seven games. The Warriors have all of the experience in the world, so for now, they remain the favorites.

Let us know who you think will win, in the comments down below.

Mental illness and substance abuse is a real issue and we hope to turn this tragedy into a testimony.”

The legendary rapper added: “As a father, I have always established parameters to protect my children. Unfortunately, when they become adults, they have the legal right to choose who to have relationships with whether healthy or unhealthy.”
