Missy Elliott’s ‘Supa Dupa Fly’ Video Draws Wild Reactions From Cozz, Erica Banks, And Yung Baby Tate

React Like You Know is back and this week, we’ve got a new panel and an inescapable, game-changing classic for them to watch and respond to. When Missy Elliott‘s Hype Williams-directed video for her debut single “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” dropped in 1997, it blew minds with its eye-popping, surreal imagery, avant-garde fashion choices (the air-filled “trash bag” jumpsuit!), and Williams’ signature fish-eye lens technique. It’s safe to say, hip-hop wouldn’t look anything like it does today without Missy’s adventurous debut video.

So, how does it measure up for our gen-Z panelists? Well, the episode opens with a few “Oh my God!” exclamations from Erica Banks and Fousheé, and even NLE Choppa can’t help but gush, “Missy was beautiful!” BRS Kash notes the fish-eye look “makes the video so much more dramatic,” while Blac Chyna, Cozz, and DaniLeigh all shout out the “trash bag” style — even though Missy revealed long ago it was a patent-leather jumpsuit. The Hummer also gets a lot of attention from the panel, while our studio team gets some interesting responses about the producer-artist relationship between Timbaland and Missy, as well as whether Puff Daddy can be “all in their videos — dancin.’” (The answer’s a resounding yes.)

Missy, meanwhile, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her third album, Miss E… So Addictive, with the release of her equally groundbreaking 2001 MTV VMAs performance on YouTube coming later today.

Matt Barnes Claps Back At Kwame Brown, Proposes Boxing Match

After years of being the butt of every joke, Kwame Brown is fed up. The former first overall NBA draft pick is sick of hearing his name dragged through the mud and after Gilbert Arenas brought him up on the “All The Smoke” podcast, Brown has been on a social media rampage. He has expressed his disdain for the likes of Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson, and even Stephen A. Smith, who doesn’t seem to really care enough about the situation to respond.

Recently, Barnes told Brown that he should quiet down and blame Michael Jordan for drafting him first overall. Since then, Brown has gone back on the offensive, telling Barnes “The only joke you got is about basketball, I got a joke about your life, you punk bitch.”

Now, Barnes has issued another response to Brown, and he isn’t playing around. Essentially, Barnes wants Brown to get off of social media and get on “All The Smoke” where they can hash things out. Barnes even said that he would be up for a boxing match, if it ever had to get to that point.

Yes, it’s gonna be features on there. Yes, it’s gonna be lit. Yes, it’s gonna be —  Stop playing with me. One of the hardest albums of all time.”

Obama Says UFO Sightings Are Legit

President Barack Obama was a guest on The Late Late Show with James Corden this week where he was asked about aliens and UFO sightings over the last few years. While he admitted that there’s a lot of information on the matter that is classified and cannot be shared, he did confirm that the UFO spottings have been legitimate. 

“When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” explained President Obama. He went on to joke around a bit before getting to the serious business. “But what is true, and I’m actually being serious here, is that there is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don’t know exactly what they are. We can’t explain how they moved their trajectory– they did not have an easily explainable pattern. I think that people still take seriously trying to investigate and figure out what that is but I have nothing to report to you today.”

Over the last few years, there has been increased media interest in UFO sightings in different parts of the world. This year, celebrities including Machine Gun Kelly, Post Malone, and Baker Mayfield have spoken candidly about their alleged experiences spotting UFOs in the sky

Do you think we’ll encounter aliens one day? What do you think about Obama’s comments?

Adidas Yeezy Foam Runner “Mineral Blue” Unveiled: Official Photos

Kanye West’s music has always been forward-thinking if it comes across as polarizing at first. This has been the case throughout every single era of his career and it’s something that probably won’t change anytime soon. As for his foray into sneakers, Kanye has been just as eclectic, and his designs prove that he doesn’t mind taking risks, even if it means upsetting sneakerheads and their affinity for tradition. One shoe that has truly befuddled people, is the Adidas Yeezy Foam Runner, which continues to get new colorways.

The shoe looks like a pair of crocs that were concocted in outer space, and while the shoe has received a ton of criticism, there are others who truly believe this is a phenomenal shoe. More power to them, especially with new colorways like the “Mineral Blue” offering below, making their way to the market. As you can see, there are two tones of navy blue to be found here and it makes for a nice, subtle, and clean offering.

For now, a release date has not yet been set for these, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will keep you informed an all of the most recent updates. In the meantime, give us your thoughts on these, in the comments below.

Lil Baby & Danny Wolf Collide On “Slidin”

Danny Wolf’s production has helped transform the gritty regional sound into a more psychedelic form through his collaborations with Hoodrich Pablo Juan, and many others. The producer unleashed his last body of work, Night Of The Wolf in 2019 which featured an array of artists from Lil Skies to Key Glock.

It seems that it keeps on going up for Wolf who just unleashed his latest banger, “Slidin” ft. Lil Baby. Danny Wolf’s atmospheric trap production is complimented by Baby’s syrupy flow. It’s an effortless banger that finds Baby weaving through the eerie beat with lavish flexes and top dawg status.

The latest offering from Baby arrives just ahead of his forthcoming collaborative effort with Lil Durk, The Voice Of The Heroes. The two have been teasing the project for months with DJ Khaled unveiling the first official taste off of the project with “EVERY CHANCE I GET.” While a release date was set for the end of the month, the two artists decided to push it back out of respect for DMX whose posthumous album, Exodus is set to release of May 28th.

Peep the song from Danny Wolf and Lil Baby below.

Quotable Lyrics
Bro was gettin’ a thousand by a week when we create the season
You got the same shit that I got, but that don’t make us equal
I got a whole lotta spice that I’m not ever slipping
Drop a fifty on a n***a, they gon’ crip
My lil’ dog got two live sentences, I know it’s hard for him to eat
