Angel Reese Divulges On Ground Slam During Game: “It’s Just Basketball”

by

Angel Reese received a very hard foul from Alyssa Thomas during the Chicago Sky’s game against the Connecticut Sun, which has caused a lot of conversation. In fact, it was an immediate point of contention and scrutiny in the game itself, as the refs ejected Thomas after the foul. However, its recipient reminded folks that basketball is just an obviously physical and hard-fought sport, and that not every blow struck has intentions of representing actual animosity. During the post-game interview and a simple tweet after the game, Reese cleared the air on the Thomas foul and gave her props for keeping things competitive and earnest.

“Not just ’cause I’m a rookie, I’m a player,” Angel Reese told reporters at the crowd during the Chicago Sky’s post-game conference. “I’m a basketball player, they don’t give a damn if I’m a rookie. I mean, I want them to come at me every day, I want them to come at everybody. I mean, they’re not supposed to be nice to me, I hope y’all know that. They’re not supposed to be nice to me or lay down because I’m Angel Reese or ’cause I’m a rookie. Like, thank you AT for sending the message to me, because I got back up and I kept going and kept pushing. Like, me and AT have been cool since we were in Maryland, so I know it’s not no hard feelings. I appreciate her for going at me every day. Or today.”

Elsewhere, though, Angel Reese is making it somewhat clear who she rocks with in basketball and who she doesn’t. We say “somewhat” because some fans thought that her shots at Charles Barkley equally applied to Caitlin Clark. As two of the biggest stars in women’s basketball right now, it’s natural for some competitive rivalry to form. But right now, it’s very hard to call whether that’s a media-fabricated narrative or a legit one.

Regardless, Angel Reese is rising high and fast, invoking the memory of Kobe Bryant when she got the chance to hold the Larry O’Brien trophy recently. There is seemingly no ceiling for her, and the outrage around this foul points to her superstar status. Hopefully these athletes can continue to keep competition passionate, interesting, and hard-fought without risking injury too much. At the end of the day, sports don’t need excessive contact for them to cause some scary scuffles every once in a while.

Angel Reese Slammed To The Floor During Brutal Foul Leading To Ejection

by

Angel Reese was choke-slammed to the floor by Alyssa Thomas during the Connecticut Sun’s 86-82 win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday night. The brutal foul led to an ejection for Thomas after referees accessed her a flagrant foul 2 for the hit on the star rookie. The two were battling down low for a rebound in the third quarter when Thomas put her arm around Reese’s neck and threw her to the ground. She exited the game with nine points, six assists, and six rebounds. Reese, who was the seventh pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, finished 13 points and five rebounds.

After the game, she spoke about the incident and appeared unphased by the harsh move. “It’s not just because I’m a rookie, I’m a player,” Reese said in her postgame press conference. “I’m a basketball player, they don’t give a damn if I’m a rookie. I want them to come at me every day.”

Me and AT have been cool since we were in Maryland, so I know that it’s no hard feelings and I appreciate her going at me every day or today.” The game marked Reese and the Sky’s second loss of the season.

Tink Blasts “Foul” Hitmaka For Alleged Physical Altercation

by

Tink just let out a long, detailed, and indignant rant against close collaborator and producer Hitmaka on Instagram Live. Moreover, it’s unclear what kind of altercation or behavior she’s referring to, but it looks like the two got into a physical scuffle or were present and involved in one in some way. “I need y’all to back me because a b***h really sits and does her job,” the rapper and singer began. “I don’t bother n***as. So if I ever have to say something, it’s valid and it means something. You know what I mean? So just understand, Hitmaka, you foul. If you think to put out the video of me in the car, just understand I’ma have to let the clip go, and everybody’s gonna get exposed. ‘Cause I know how you been playing, the label know how you been playing, and I’ve been holding s**t down riding for you.

“Leave me be!” Tink continued. “Please. I’ve been holding a lot of things in, so we can play that game. I know everybody understands my heart is pure. I just shouted the man out this morning. So this is absurd. I just gave him his props, ‘Thank you for accepting me.’ And then I seen you in the club and you gon’…. Y’all told me about that man, but let me just say. Sometimes time reveals, I’m human, and I’m gonna make mistakes. And this probably was close to the biggest. I’ve been through this s**t before and I’m not gonna be silent this time. People are playing with my pockets and playing in my face and I’m not having it. If I gotta get physical, that’s what I gotta do, you understand? I’m from Chicago at the end of the day, and I can’t be anyone but myself.

Tink’s Rant On Hitmaka

“I had a moment in that car when I had to get physical,” Tink went on. “Don’t play with me, and please, don’t get on this Internet playing, because I had to defend myself. And Christian, when you see this s**t, just understand you’re foul. That’s all I need you to know. You tweaking with a real b***h, like, a real one that goes through the trenches with you. Everybody told me to let that s**t go and everybody told be ‘Be careful working with him,’ and I never seen it until now. Honestly, this has been going on since May. So yeah, this ain’t nothing new, I just have to express it because it may drop, it may leak. And that’s it. New music is on the way.

“I can’t even tell y’all what the album is gonna be, but I’m working every day, and I’m working hard,” she concluded. “That’s what n***as don’t understand. It’s foul when I’m working hard and you out here f***ing off every weekend. You out here getting high, probably getting drunk, taking n***as out to trips. Bro, I like a n***a that get in they bag. When I met you, that’s what you were about. Now, it’s about something different, and it’s all behind money. I don’t wanna say too much else, but honest to God, y’all, my heart is in the right place. I’ma have to defend myself on this one. If it drops, hold me down because a b***h had to do what she had to do.” For more news and updates on Tink and Hitmaka, stick around on HNHH.

Van Buren Records Puts On A Rap Clinic In The Intimate ‘Foul’ Video

by

Van Buren Records continues to show why they are one of the most talented rap collectives in the game today with their new video for “Foul.” Lyricists Luke Bar$, Meech Bold, Jiles, and Felix rap from the side of their homes, their bedrooms, and anywhere they please really; despite the changes in scenery, there is no falloff in their delivery.

“Foul” is a welcome reminder of how great posse cuts have been throughout hip-hop’s history, and it doesn’t even feature all of their members. Van Buren Records also includes rappers Andrew Regis, Saint Lyor, and Invada. Thus, even when not all full strength, they still put on a star-making performance.

“Foul” arrives with Van Buren’s announcement of their forthcoming album DSM, which they are calling the album of the year. DSM is set to arrive on September 9 and follows the Brockton collective’s 2021 debut album Bad For Press, highlighted by the records “Medic,” “Braindead,” and “Relax.” They also shared the EP Black Wall Street which was anchored by “Cash Rules” and “Cult” later that year. With a record like “Foul,” one can only imagine what is in store come release time for DSM.

Check out Van Buren Records’ new video for “Foul” above.

DSM is out 9/9 via Van Buren and Good Partners. Pre-order it here.
