Air Jordan 3 “White Navy” Rumored Release Date

by

The Air Jordan 3 is one of the few Jumpman silhouettes with a very long history. This was the first time Michael Jordan and Tinker Hatfield had the opportunity to collaborate. Moreover, Jordan was pondering leaving Nike when this shoe was released. It goes without saying that this style of shoe played a major role in Hatfield’s rise to success inside the organization. In addition, it is just a really lovely sneaker with a library of famous colors that keeps expanding.

As the Jordan 3 gets more colorways, the sneaker actually becomes more and more popular. While people might think that the sneaker is getting over-saturated, that’s not the case. The Jordan 3 is so popular that people just want to see new editions of it. It’s a sneaker, much like the Jordan 1, that will just never go out of style. Now, we are getting a rumored release date for the Air Jordan 3 “White Navy.”

“White Navy” Air Jordan 3

While there aren’t any official photos of this Jordan 3, we do have these unofficial photos. We can pretty safely assume this is what the sneaker will look like. The sneaker features all of the Jordan 3 features, including the elephant print. Also, there are midnight navy accents throughout, a nice refresh from your traditional white, black, and red colorways. This is certainly a classic colorway and one that will garner a lot of popularity. It’s a clean colorway that doesn’t do anything too loud.

A big thank you to @zsneakerheadz on Instagram for this photo and for the information. The Jordan 3 “White Navy” is rumored to be released on January 13th, 2024. Also, the sneaker will have a retail price of $200 when it drops. Let us know what you think of this sneaker, in the comments section below.

Macklemore Enlists Armani White For “No Bad Days” Remix

by

Macklemore is someone who has had a ton of longevity in the game. When “Thrift Shop” dropped back in 2012, it immediately became a massive hit. Subsequently, the artist became a sensation whose life changed overnight. However, this came with quite a few issues. For instance, he ended up winning the Grammy for best hip-hop album back in 2014. In the eyes of many, this is an award that should have gone to Kendrick Lamar. Moreover, his decision to text Kendrick came with scrutiny.

Since that time, Macklemore has continued to make music and continues to demonstrate growth in his craft. In fact, he is doing a lot outside of music as well. He has done collaborations with Jordan Brand, and he even has a minority stake in the Seattle Kraken. Simply put, life is good for him right now. A few months ago, he dropped a new album called Ben, and fans have been digging it. Now, he is back with a remix for the song “No Bad Days.” The remix features rising star Armani White.

Macklemore x Armani White

For those who may not know, Armani White is responsible for the song “Billie Eilish” which became a huge hit on TikTok. The song “No Bad Days” is certainly meant for pop radio. With its sugary sweet chorus from Collett, this song is meant to be about good vibes. Subsequently, the addition of Armani White works to perfection. He gives off a great verse that matches what’s happening in the song. Not to mention, his chemistry with Macklemore is tangible.

If you are a fan of Macklemore and these uptempo tracks, then this is a perfect listen. Let us know what you think of the new remix, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

Damn, baby girl, who got you smilin’ like that?
Like where your man? Ayy, send me yo’ ‘Gram, you know I’ma follow right back
And I’m the same with all my friendships, [?] came up off them benches
I just pushed a track to plat’ and took the plaque back to the trenches

‘Stephen Curry: Underrated’ Latest Trailer

by

Stephen Curry has changed the way the game of basketball will be played forever. The Golden State star has reimagined what three-point shooting looks like on the professional level. Curry’s influence on the game will be remembered for many years to come. Now, the Warriors star is getting his story told on the small screen. The documentary ‘Steph Curry: Underrated‘ will drop on Apple TV+ on July 21st. On Monday, the latest trailer for the documentary was released for fans to see.

Curry’s journey to the NBA wasn’t the road that many well-known superstars travel. He wasn’t a straight-out-of-high school project. He wasn’t coming to the league from one of the well-known blue bloods of college basketball. However, Curry carved his own path. Despite all those that doubted, Curry became a star. Also, proving that hard work and skill will stand out over whatever is written about you on paper. Check out the latest trailer for Curry’s doc. below.

Stephen Curry Hitting The Small Screen

Overall, the trailer looks to show that the documentary will follow Curry’s basketball career from the earliest stages. Curry’s family is deep in the roots of the game of basketball. Steph’s father, Dell, was a well-known star for the Charlotte Hornets. As well as being one of Steph’s greatest mentors. In the trailer, we see Curry’s iconic run with the Davidison Wildcats in March Madness. Undoubtedly one of the most iconic moments in college basketball history. Including a shot of LeBron James witnessing the unforgettable performance that Curry put on during that run.

The story of the history of the NBA can’t be told without a long chapter on Curry. However, not only did he revolutionize the game of basketball, but Curry also shared that he is more than basketball. Once in a while, a talent like Curry comes along. It’s best to enjoy what they bring to the table. However, with documentaries like ‘The Last Dance‘ being so successful, it seems there is a large audience craving more sports stories. Will you be tuning into the Stephen Curry documentary? Let us know in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.

Wiz Khalifa Reveals He Recently Suffered A Pelvis Injury

by

On Friday, June 23, Wiz Khalifa let his fans know what he’d been up to the last couple of days…and it doesn’t sound too fun. The 35-year-old rapper sent out a few Tweets letting the world know he suffered a small tear in the cartilage of his pelvis. While we know he practices martial arts, we’re not sure if his training is the reason for this latest physical setback. “Told the lady I ain’t need no help then proceeded to f*ck my back up,” Wiz said on social media. “This sh*t f*ckin hurts and pain medicine ain’t helping.”

Videos of Wiz Khalifa show him in black Calvin Klein boxer briefs and black kinesiology tape running up and down his lower back. Using two canes, he shows his fans that rehabilitation for this injury involves slowly walking to regain overall physical stability. He’s taking this injury seriously and cautiously, reportedly watching movies and applying remedies so that the swelling in his lower back goes down. Wiz Khalifa updated the masses on Saturday, showing himself walking faster than before. “Ima finna have super hips after this,” he said.

Fans have flooded social media, offering support from afar as the rapper continues to heal. The “Black and Yellow” star appreciated the love, helping fuel his recovery process. Wiz Khalifa got into professional fighting back in 2021. He invested in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and became an advisor to the budding sports league. Again, we are not sure if his mixed martial arts training has anything to do with his pelvic cartilage tear. But one can speculate it might be a contributing factor.

This injury comes on the heels of a rare public appearance by Wiz alongside his ex-partner Amber Rose. The two co-parents were at their 10-year-old son Sebastian’s fourth-grade graduation. The ex-couple was married for a little over a year in 2013/2014 and shares joint custody of Sebastian. Wiz Khalifa’s current girlfriend, Aimee Aguilar, was also in attendance. For now, the rapper is subjugated to his bed, letting his pelvis and lower back heal so he can get back to doing what he loves.

Is Travis Scott’s ‘Utopia’ Dropping Soon?

Travis Scott’s upcoming fourth album, Utopia, may finally be nearing its release after being delayed by the tragedy at Astroworld Festival in 2021 and Travis’s subsequent withdrawal from the spotlight. While Travis has continued to tease the album as he inched back into the spotlight, putting up billboards and playing it for his hometown Houston Astros, his official website now offers a strong indication that the official release date could be within sight.

Travis had apparently first revealed the title of the album back in 2020. In a post celebrating the second anniversary of his chart-topping third album, Astroworld, he wrote, “See you in Utopia,” prompting fans to speculate that this would be the next album’s title. Since then, the album has been one of the most anticipated in hip-hop, but fans have had to wait longer than they perhaps might have ordinarily due to the Astro Festival disaster, which caused 10 deaths in 2021, including that of a 10-year-old boy.

Throughout the next year, Travis laid low, surfacing in the second half of the year to begin performing festival-headlining sets again, including Primavera Sound in Sao Paolo, Rolling Loud in Los Angeles, Miami, Portugal, Rotterdam, and Thailand, and the UK’s Wireless Festival. He also starred in Nike’s new campaign for the return of the Mac Attack tennis shoe, in which he fittingly carried a briefcase emblazoned — what else? — Utopia.

While we still don’t know exactly when the album drops, it certainly seems to be soon enough that his hints have become more overt. The wait may be over sooner than we think.

Why Did JT & Lil Uzi Vert Fight At The BET Awards 2023?

The 2023 BET Awards went down this weekend, and there was plenty to love on stage. There was a star-studded performance in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, Latto went ahead and “Put It On Da Floor,” Offset and Quavo teamed up to honor Takeoff, and Busta Rhymes had an emotional moment. What might be the biggest drama of the night, though, happened off stage.

As Lil Uzi Vert and JT sat in the audience together, JT appeared quite upset and said to Uzi, “F*cking groupie, I’m done with you,” videos show. She then threw her phone at at him and called him a “b*tch.” She then headed towards the exit and Uzi followed her out.

So that’s what happened, but why did it happen?

Neither rapper has publicly spoken about what happened, so at the moment, all we have are rumors. What we do know for sure, though, is that the interaction happened after Uzi shouted out Ice Spice on an unreleased song he performed, in which he says, “I got a nice wife. […] Wig came off twice. She got a little afro, she looks like Ice Spice.” As for the rumors, some are speculating the blow-up was caused by a mix of that and Uzi supposedly flirting (or at least talking) with Ice Spice.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Jack Black Performed ‘Peaches’ From The ‘Mario’ Movie Live For The First Time

Jack Black had the biggest hit of his career with “Peaches,” Bower’s yearning ballad for Princess Peach from The Super Mario Bros. Movie (coincidentally, the biggest movie of 2023). Over the weekend, at the Game Awards’ 10–Year Concert, the Tenacious D member performed the song live for the first time.

Black was accompanied by a full orchestra, but no Toad on the maracas. A real missed opportunity there. Still, you can watch it below.

Also during the show, Black’s band Tenacious D performed their own Mario-adjacent song, the recent single “Video Games.”

Black was initially hesitant to sing in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is maybe the first time he’s ever be hesitant to break into a tasty jam.

“We had already had a few sessions; I think we were a year in when [directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic] first sprung it on me,” he told IGN. “They were like, ‘How would you feel about Bowser singing a song?’ And I was like, ‘Ooh, I don’t know.’ I’m very protective about my singing career with my band, Tenacious D.” But once he heard “Peaches,” Black “couldn’t deny that it was funny. I was like, I get it. I see why you want Bowser to do this, tickling the ivories and singing a love song to Peaches. It was undeniable.”

Also undeniable: “Peaches” deserving an Oscar nomination. Tenacious D was robbed once before; don’t make it twice.

Offset Posts Behind The Scenes Video Of Surprise BET Performance

by

Many of rap music’s biggest superstars showed out for last night’s BET awards. Performances brought together legends of old with the hottest stars of today to celebrate rap’s 50th anniversary. In one of the biggest performances of the night, Migos rappers Offset and Quavo re-united to pay tribute to the group’s third member Takeoff. Takeoff was shot and killed in November of last year and since then stars from all across the industry have paid tribute to his personality and talent.

The latest tribute was a major highlight of last night’s BET awards. This morning, Offset took fans behind the scenes of the day leading up to the surprise show. A video on his Instagram tracks what he was doing in the day leading up to the award show. The video shows Offset and Quavo rehearsing their choreography before the show. They rehearse on an empty stage pointing at the picture of Takeoff projected onto the wall behind them.

Offset Takes Us Behind The Scenes

While Offset and Quavo’s performance was one of the highlights of the night, it also had plenty of drama. City Girls’ rapper JT and her partner Lil Uzi Vert had a very publicized fight during the show. Many initially suspected that it had something to do with Uzi shouting out Ice Spice during his performance. JT was quick to come out and clarify the situation afterward saying she is totally cool with Ice Spice.

Offset has been busy recently popping up in a few places during Paris Fashion Week. First, he linked up with Jay-Z and Pharrell during the latter’s debut show as Louis Vuitton’s Head of Menswear. He also performed his hit song “Ric Flair Drip” during sportswear brand Li-Nang’s show. Finally, he showed up at the Dior show a few days later sporting a fit nobody could ignore. He quickly turned around from those appearances to make his surprise return to the BET Awards stage. What do you think of Offset’s behind-the-scenes video of his BET performance? Let us know in the comment section below.
