For much of this year, Chicago rapper Polo G has been the butt of internet jokesters who love to laugh about his beat selection. According to his critics, the 22-year-old has a very clear formula and, to them, his music is starting to get old. They argue that the lack of variation in production — and more specifically, his tendency to lean toward piano-driven beats — is limiting Polo from reaching his true potential.

It appears as though with his next studio album Hall Of Fame 2.0, which is a continuation of his latest full-length drop, Polo might respond to the critics on the thirteenth song on the tracklist, called “Piano G.”

Sharing the tracklist for his upcoming album, which drops in a couple of weeks, Polo Capalot revealed that he’s working with Lil Baby, MoneyBagg Yo, Lil Tjay, NLE Choppa, and others on HOF2.0. It will start off with his interpolation of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal.” 

Fans are also noticing one name that has been omitted from the tracklist, despite them previously being hinted at for this album. Juice WRLD was allegedly on a song called “Do The Most” with Polo, but fans are unsure what happened to that collaboration after it was left off yet another album release. Perhaps it’s being saved for Juice’s upcoming posthumous project…

Check out the complete tracklist for Hall Of Fame 2.0 below and let us know if you’re excited.

If you’re a basketball fan, then you probably already know what happened last night between LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons. LeBron was being guarded by Stewart during a free throw, and while trying to break free, LeBron swung his arm back and hit Stewart right in the face, which caused him to bleed profusely.

As you can see in the clips below, Stewart was extremely pissed off about this which led to him breaking free from his teammates in an attempt to attack LeBron. In the end, Stewart was restrained throughout the entire thing, and nothing ultimately came of it. Regardless, it was a massive scene that had fans on high alert.

In a report from Shams Charania who was a guest on the Pat McAfee show today, it was revealed that LeBron was extremely remorseful after what happened and that he even tried to get Stewart’s phone number so that he could apologize. LeBron knew it looked bad, but according to Shams, it was simply an inadvertent hit with no ill intentions behind it.

It remains to be seen what the NBA will do about this incident, especially considering how the game’s biggest superstar is involved. Some fines could be on the way, and if that’s the case, fans can expect them to be pretty hefty.

Some people predicted that following the murder of rapper Young Dolph, there would be retaliatory violence in the city of Memphis for weeks to come. Unfortunately, it looks like those people may have been correct as it is being reported that a person was shot and killed near the home where the Mercedes-Benz, which was linked to Dolph’s murder suspect’s as the possible getaway vehicle, was found. 

According to WREG News Channel 3, police are investigating the shooting death of a man on Bradley Street, which is where a car matching the description of Dolph’s alleged killers’ Mercedes-Benz was found. Witnesses allegedly heard approximately six gunshots, and a man was pronounced dead on the scene. The identity of the man that was killed has not been released, and it is yet to be determined whether this shooting is connected to Dolph’s murder.

The suspect was reportedly driving a black sedan, and they remain on the run. It is also worth noting that the Mercedes-Benz found that matches the police description has not been confirmed to be the exact car that authorities are looking for yet.

This news comes as millions around the world continue to mourn the loss of Young Dolph, a truly independent rapper who always put his community on his back. We send our love to his family, friends, the entire Paper Route Empire team, and anyone affected by his passing.

On Sunday, hundreds of Waukesha, Wisconsin residents gathered to host their annual Christmas Parade. During the event, a red SUV plowed through the crowd, ultimately resulting in the death of five people, and the injury of at least 40 more.

As Complex reports, the city’s official Facebook account captured eerie footage of the vehicle racing past the camera – horrifying sounds of people screaming followed soon after. The Waukesha Freeman notes that the SUV had been spotted swerving around participants prior to the parade’s beginning.

“My son just passed with his band, which is Waukesha South, and a truck (came) barreling through, almost hit the back of a float truck … he ended up hitting a bunch of band members and it went all the way up the road,” a patron shared. “I saw at least five people get hit and I don’t know where that vehicle stopped,” another traumatized attendee recalled.

The area was promptly evacuated, and a family reunification location was set up. By the time the weaponized vehicle had been located, the suspect had fled the scene. Updates on Monday morning informed the public that a person of interest, 39-year-old Darrell Brooks Jr., has even taken into custody. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the man has been charged numerous time with recklessly endangering other’s safety, and is in the midst of a domestic violence case.

Initial reports believed that a total of 20 people had been injured in the rampage, but later updates revealed that a tragic number of lives were lost. “The community mourns the loss of our community members and those injured,” a statement from the police says. “We are asking for the community to come together during this time and to keep the families in your prayers.”

Kanye West’s dad shoe revolution began all the way back in 2017 as he unleashed the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 “Wave Runner” onto the world. After some initial pushback to the design, the “Wave Runner” became a beloved colorway amongst fans and Yeezy Boost 700 silhouette itself became the stuff of legend. For the past four years now, the shoe has continued to receive new colorways, and fans are always eager to get their hands on some pairs when they can.

The latest 700 to be shown off is this “Fade Azure” model which can be found down below. This model has shades of teal throughout the upper all while a faded blue makes its appearance on the midsole. There is even some orange here for good measure, which adds a nice bit of contrast to the overall look of the shoe. Needless to say, Yeezy has themselves yet another hit with this new offering.

After release details surfaced last week, it has now been confirmed that the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 “Fade Azure” will be released on Saturday, November 27th for $250 USD on the Confirmed App. Let us know what you think of these, in the comments below, and stay tuned to HNHH for more updates from the sneaker world.
