Doodie Lo & Pooh Shiesty Call Out Phonies On Their Fiery New Track “Bodies”

by

Doodie Lo and Pooh Shiesty have officially joined forces for a new single, and while their names being listed side by side may be humorous to some, there’s nothing funny about the Chicago and Memphis artists’ collaboration. Titled “Bodies,” the new brief track boasts hard-hitting production from AyoJarii, and the song finds Doodie and Pooh calling cap on the phonies and internet thugs who claim to have caught bodies in the past.

Unfortunately, Pooh Shiesty is currently behind bars and unable to celebrate the release of “Bodies,” but in honor of his collaborator’s absence, Doodie Lo took to Instagram to commemorate the Shiesty Season rapper. “FREE SHIESTY,” the OTF rapper stated. “WE GONE TURN UP FOR YOU SLIME VIDEO COMING SOON BODIES BODIES BODIES BODIES.”

Following Pooh Shiesty’s hit single “Back in Blood” with Lil Durk, “Bodies” marks yet another collaboration between the 1017 artist and the OTF camp, so watch the music video for Doodie Lo and Poosh Shiesty’s “Bodies” below and let us know what you think about Doodie and Pooh’s on-wax chemistry.

Quotable Lyrics

I bе with the killers’ killer killers
Do you understand me? (I do)
Shootin’ at the crib and at your opps
Do you love your family?

Jack Harlow Responds To Not Being In Lil Nas X’s ‘Industry Plant’ Naked Shower Scene: ‘I Let The Mastermind Cook’

Jack Harlow has already been having a breakout year on his own since the release of his late 2020 project That’s What They All Say, but things got even more heated starting today. Now that he’s collaborated with Lil Nas X on their chaotic “Industry Baby” video, all bets are off. There’s one rather, ahem, steamy scene in the video where Nas and his backup dancers are twerking naked in the prison shower, and fans and foes have been wondering why Harlow wasn’t involved in that section of the clip.

Plenty of the memes about the moment have centered on the tendency for straight men to fearfully distance themselves from homosexual behavior, and the stereotype that all heteronormative men are nervous around queer male sexuality. In Harlow’s case though, that’s not what was going on at all. Seeing the conversation unfold, the young rapper took to Twitter to let everyone know exactly where he stands. “Nas wrote the whole treatment for this video and I followed his lead every step of the way,” he said. “If he had asked me to be in that shower scene I woulda been in that shower scene. I just let the mastermind cook. Honored to be apart of it.”

Classy, and hey, room for a recast in the remix right? We all know how Lil Nas X loves remixes… and the thirst for Jack Harlow in the shower is getting stronger by the second. And the follow up here from Nas X indicates that might be coming quicker than anyone thought:

Atlanta Declares July 22 ‘Kanye West Day’ In Honor Of The Producer’s Late Mother

July 22, when Kanye West was in Atlanta preparing for his massive listening event at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the rapper was also honored by the city with a Kanye West Day. While he has long claimed Chicago and moved there at three years old, his mother, Donda West, taught at Morris Brown College for almost 20 years and was Chair of the English Department. The city declared Kanye West Day as a partial tribute to Donda, for whom Kanye titled the upcoming album he previewed at the listening.

Additionally, Morris Brown College President Kevin James likewise presented an honor in Donda’s memory: A Resolution of Meritous Service on behalf of the historically Black university. Kanye was given certificates commemorating both honors backstage at his event, which may have explained the two-hour delay that preceded him playing the apparently unfinished album. While some aspects were well-received, like Kanye’s reunion with Jay-Z on a song that closed the event, it appears that Ye wasn’t completely satisfied. The album didn’t release as scheduled, although fans seemed more surprised by the suite meal prices at the event than the album delay (he’s already delayed the album for over a year after initially announcing it in 2020).

You can see Kanye presented with the certificates honoring Kanye West Day below.

Patrick Mahomes Receives Critical Injury Update Ahead Of NFL Season

by

Patrick Mahomes is the highest-paid quarterback in the entire NFL and it makes sense as to why this is the case. In his short career, Mahomes has already led the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory and two Super Bowl appearances. Moving forward, Mahomes is expected to win more championships and when it comes to his stats, he is easily one of the most dominant forces in the entire NFL.

Last season, Mahomes hurt his foot during the postseason and he even played through the injury during the Super Bowl. At the end of the season, Mahomes was forced to have surgery and since that time, Chiefs fans have been waiting for an update in regards to his status for the start of the season.

Today, it was reported by Adam Teicher of ESPN that Mahomes is feeling just fine and that he will get to be a full participant in training camp. As you can imagine, this is some fantastic news for the Chiefs who need Mahomes healthy if they want any real chance of being successful throughout the year.

The Chiefs will be one of the contenders in the AFC this season and it’s hard to picture another team giving them a hard time. Either way, the Chiefs faithful have a lot to be excited for this season.

Nevertheless, Childish Major took the news in stride and decided to make a light-hearted competition out of it.

After posting his fair share of memes to Instagram, Childish Major continued to remain confident in his latest body of work, and by the time midnight rolled around, his release date competitor’s album was nowhere to be found. While many fans are understandably bummed out about DONDA being nowhere to be found, this is the perfect time to listen to Childish Major’s Thank you, God. For it all.

Executive produced by Don Cannon, the seven-track project features quotable features from Yung Baby Tate and ScHoolboy Q, and it also finds the Dirt Road Diamond artist back in his element. Childish Major’s versatile new offering also boasts impeccable production courtesy of Hollywood Cole and JetsonMade. Plus, with a lean runtime of under 20 minutes, you’ll have plenty of time to run Thank you, God. For it all. back a couple of times, because after one listen, you’ll definitely want to.

Tracklist:

1. Player’s Prayer
2. Check (feat. Yung Baby Tate)

Kawhi Leonard Reportedly Considering Leaving Clippers, Fans React

by

After winning a championship with the Toronto Raptors in 2019, Kawhi Leonard quickly became the hottest commodity in the entire NBA. He was pursued by numerous teams in free agency and in the end, he had his choice between the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Raptors. Eventually, Kawhi decided to go home to Los Angeles and play for the Clippers, who went out and got Paul George to complement Kawhi’s skill set.

While the Clippers have been a good regular-season team, Kawhi and PG have yet to lead the team to the NBA Finals, despite being title favorites over the last two seasons. Now, Kawhi has a player option for next season and it is expected that he will decline the option so that he can get paid more, all while testing free agency again.

Many felt like this was simply a formality and that Leonard would be back with the Clippers no matter what. According to Marc Stein, this might not be the case as sources are saying that there are no guarantees when it comes to Leonard’s status. Teams like the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, and Dallas Mavericks are preparing themselves for this reality, which is yet another indicator that Leonard might be serious about moving teams.

This would certainly be a drastic move, and for now, fans aren’t buying it. As you can see in the tweet below, NBA fans believe it would be weak for Kawhi to leave Los Angeles and that as it stands, the Clippers give him the best shot at winning the title.

Let us know what you think Kawhi should do, in the comments below.
