At the intersection of East 99 Street and St. Clair Avenue, a sign was placed that read “Bone Thugs N Harmony Way, but now that celebratory symbol of the group’s accomplishments over three decades has vanished. Speaking with AllHipHop, Layzie Bone thinks he knows who stole the sign.

“I believe the culprit or culprits behind the theft could’ve been haters or fans, but I’m leaning more toward the fans because Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s love in the city far outweigh the hate,” Layzie Bone said. “My city is rough and tough, ‘thuggish ruggish’ even. The vibrations in the hood is low from poverty, so kids do whatever they can do to get the things they desire, and Bone memorabilia is one of those things. Those signs are probably hanging on somebody’s bedroom wall. We have work to do to uplift our community.”

Black Thought Says He is No Longer Connected to Ye’s Music: ‘His Process Has Become More Assembly-Line’

fugees the roots black thoought

Black Thought pulled up to Pitchfork for a new interview, revealing that he has grown detached from Kanye West’s music.

“I connect with Kanye’s music less now,” Black Thought tells Pitchfork. “Maybe it’s because of the rate at which he’s been putting out art and having to keep up. I think his process has become more assembly-line, which in many ways is the Motown model. It works. I don’t know if anything’s lost, but what is sometimes compromised is the personality. The main person it’s supposed to be about is sometimes overshadowed by all these other writers, producers, and people who are contributing. Kanye is less Kanye now than he was when I was a bigger Kanye fan.”

You can read more from Black Thought, including his thoughts on A$AP Rocky’s LongLiveA$AP album and his friendship with Tierra Whack below.

Nigerian sensation Burna Boy prepares for the imminent release of his seventh album, I Told Them…, with an in-depth conversation alongside Zane Lowe in New York City.

The discussion touches on the album’s creation and Burna’s path to his current global triumph. The artist delves into the significance of numerology and the album’s theme of the “12 jewels to a happy life,” shedding light on what distinguishes this upcoming project. With anticipation building for the album’s release, Burna Boy’s insights offer fans a glimpse into his creative process and his unique perspective on life and success.

“It kind of showed me exactly the way I wanted to express what I was feeling and what my unit was feeling,” Burna Boy said of the album. “The spirit of my unit. Just put that in because this is every day. This is a side where people don’t really get to see because I don’t really care for anyone to see. I have fun with it like this. But I felt like this time, this is a way… How do I put it? A more understandable way to pass that feeling and that energy across.

“And at the same time, showing you that’s… Not you. Showing everyone, really, that the combination of worlds is something that we haven’t really capitalized on. Because at the end of the day, once we’re all unified, everything else, the fruits of that just take care of everything.”

Kanye West’s Wife Bianca Censori Sparks Calls to Italian Authorities for Revealing Outfit

'Drink Champs' Episode Featuring Kanye West Pulled From YouTube as N.O.R.E. Offers Apologies

Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, turned her hands in Italy as her beige bodysuit was quite revealing. The outfit has area residents asking for authorities to punish the model.

According to The Daily Mail, the bodysuit was so revealing, Censori would have to cover her nipples with a crossbody bag. The Italian Constitutional Court could fine Censori from $5,000 to $10,000 USD for her exposure in a place that minors could occupy. Censori was braless in the bodysuit.

A previous report states Kanye West reportedly smells a bit different these days. Reports state his “wife,” Bianca Censori, is turned off by his hygiene.

According to Radar Online, Ye’s fashion choice is to highlight his brilliant mind and hide a bit of weight, but when it all comes off “a serious stench” is released.

“He wears these outfits partly because he genuinely believes they showcase his fashion genius and forward-thinking,” the insider told Radar. “But it’s also to cover him having gained a little weight.”

Another added, “It’s a serious stench when the layers come off and he’s dripping in sweat head to toe — especially as he’s not big on showering — and poor Bianca’s nostrils are on the receiving end.”

Another insider noted that Kanye rarely uses deodorant, making matters worse.

In one of the more recent episodes of No Jumper, Adam22 discussed his mental health during an interview with TMZ host Van Lathan, who asked the podcaster about his recent behavior. This led to an aggressive convo about Adam’s interviews and his recent sit-down with Rooga.

Adam defended his gang-based questioning against Lathan, who said that Adam asked too many questions about Rooga’s gang affiliation. It was revealed that Rooga made a pre-interview request not to answer any such gang-related questioning, but Adam contends that he’ forgotten that agreement, maintaining his stance that his questions were not to incite beef.

Lathan then insinuated that was the reason that Adam22 could come off like a “white devil” to some viewers. See the entire interview below.

Several reports have confirmed that All-Star shortstop Wander Franco was placed on administrative leave until further notice due to allegations of the 22-year-old having a romantic relationship with a minor.

In an agreement between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association, Franco and the Tampa Bay Rays agreed to his placement on the restricted list on August 14, which was extended on Monday while police in the Dominican Republic are investigating social media posts that suggest that the Rays star was involved with someone that was underage.

Today(August 22), MLB issued a statement per Franco’s situation, stating, “Per an agreement between MLB and the MLBPA, Wander Franco has been placed on Administrative Leave until further notice as MLB continues its ongoing investigation. The administrative leave, effective immediately, is not disciplinary under the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. We will comment further at the appropriate time.”

The Rays put out their own statement following the MLB statement, which said, “We support Major League Baseball’s decision to place Wander Franco on administrative leave. The Tampa Bay Rays are dedicated to upholding high standards of integrity both on and off the field. We appreciate the understanding and patience of our fans and supporters as this process unfolds. We will have no further statements on this matter until MLB completes its process.”

Under the Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy collectively bargained by MLB and the MLBPA, players on administrative leave continue to receive their salary and Major League service time. The club continued to pay Franco his $2 million salary while he was on the restricted list the past week, part of the 11-year, $182 million guaranteed extension he signed following the 2021 season.

Franco totally denied the allegations in an IG Live video made in the Rays’ clubhouse before their August 13 game at Tropicana Field, but the last game Franco played was on August 12. He has not spoken publicly on the matter since then. He has reportedly hired an attorney in the United States and in the Dominican Republic.
