Comme Des Garcons x Converse Chuck 70 Gets 2 New Colorways

Over the last few years, one of the best collaborations on the sneaker market has been the Comme Des Garcons Play x Converse Chuck 70 in both the low and hit top models. These shoes typically feature that iconic Converse Chuck 70 look, all while the CDG heart logo is placed on the sides. Over the years, we have mostly seen some white and black offerings, although neon versions have been known to surface from time to time. 

Now, we are getting two new colorways that will be coming to both the hi and low top versions. The colorways in question can be found below and as you’ll note, they are exceptionally clean. We have a grey offering and a blue makeup, with each one featuring a black CDG heart. We typically get a red heart on these shoes, so the new look is most certainly welcome.

Quotable Lyrics:

Missed out on my kid’s life for a year and I gotta accept it
Certain days n***as never came to my shows and I felt neglected
Growin’ up seein’ my uncle dyin’ in his bed, that shit made me reckless
Pourin’ up and I ain’t never shared my meds, and I ain’t bein’ extra
And I paid like two of my n***as bonds before I bought a necklace
I done seen my brother stack his bricks up and it look like Tetris
Havin’ real shootout up on the E-Way, you can’t miss your exit

G Herbo Shares Adorable Picture Of Newborn Son Essex

by

G Herbo and Taina Williams might just have the happiest baby boy in the world. The couple’s first child was born last week, named Essex William Wright. We’ve seen a few pictures of the baby boy already, including one shot of Herbo’s newborn son in his arms just moments after his birth. The rapper has been having lots of fun with his son, evidenced by his latest post of the new addition to his family flashing a happy smile for the camera.

“HOW I SLEEP WHEN I GOT A RAW ASS FIT TO PUT ON TOMORROW,” joked G Herbo on Instagram, sharing one of the first pictures of Essex’s face. The healthy boy looks peaceful in the shot, closing his eyes, dozing off, and keeping a smile on his face. Some of Herbo’s celebrity friends, including Metro Boomin, Reginae Carter, Yung Miami, and more have congratulated the rapper and his partner Taina Williams in the comments.

In addition to the new picture, Herbo also tagged his newborn son’s fresh Instagram profile in the picture. The account is run by Taina, who has already uploaded one photo of the Gemini baby with his weight, name, and more.

Do you think Essex is the happiest baby ever? Take a look at his photos below. 

Jay-Z’s Reference To The Kardashians On DMX’s Album Earns Mixed Reactions

by

Fans received the final album from DMX on Friday. Exodus is a star-studded affair equipped with some of the biggest names in rap music right now. The album was recorded prior to his passing, along with a few of the posse cuts like “Bath Salts.” With appearances from Nas and Jay-Z, the song became an instant favorite among fans but Jay-Z did ruffle a few feathers along the way.

Hov’s verse didn’t reference his long-list of investments and stocks as he did on DJ Khaled’s album. He did kick things off with references to his deal with Coca-Cola over a decade ago, and name-dropping the Kardashians. “Every girl I see wanna be wifey like that/ I’m the King of Zamunda, uh, King of the Summer/ Come be my Kardashian, Queen of the come-up,” raps Jay.

Just the simple mention of the Kardashians turned heads immediately, especially given the rumored tension between Beyonce and Kim. On top of that, Kanye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian made a few wonders how long Hov has been saving that bar for. 

Others have taken issue with Jay-Z inviting a Kardashian to be his “queen,” though it seems that those same people willfully ignored the context of those bars.

Check out a few of the reactions to Jay-Z’s verse on “Bath Salts” below and let us know who you think had the best verse on that song in the comment section.
