Supreme Teams Up With Wheaties For Cereal x Streetwear Crossover

by

Supreme is one of the biggest streetwear brands of all-time and over the last few years, they have continuously brought forth some incredible collaborations for fans to enjoy. Last year, everyone was amazed by the Oreos collab which saw Supreme get its very own cookie. In 2021, Supreme decided to keep the food theme alive as today, they released a collaboration with cereal brand Wheaties.

Wheaties is an iconic brand that has seen numerous superstar athletes grace their box. With the Supreme collab, the brand dressed the Wheaties box in purple and yellow camo, all while putting their red box logo right in the middle. It’s a superb look and it’s one that found its way onto a few merch pieces, which is what fans should expect from Supreme, at this point.

While many remain skeptical of Supreme as a whole, there is no doubt that they have a stranglehold on pop culture right now, and we can only imagine what other kinds of brands they will be working with in the not-so-distant future. The sky is the limit right now, and we can’t wait to see what else comes out of Supreme during the coming months.

In the meantime, let us know if you copped anything from the Supreme x Wheaties collection, in the comments below.

Southside’s Dad Tells Him “YOU AIN’T NOTHING BUT A LIL P***Y BOY”

by

World-famous rap producer Southside has been called out on numerous occasions, including by the mother of his daughter, Yung Miami. The latest person to expose the record producer is Southside’s own father, who dedicated a few posts to his son on Instagram on Wednesday.

“Tattoos on your face and carrying guns don’t make you a gangster. Real gangsters don’t choose to be gangsters, we don’t have a choice. It comes from growing up poor. You a RICH B*TCH that betrays everybody that helped you become rich & famous,” said Southside’s father about the 808 Mafia producer. “You lieing to the WORLD like you did it all by your self. I’m telling the TRUTH ABOUT YOU. @808mafiaboss”


Instagram

Southside’s dad continued by accusing the producer of hiring men to try and kill him. 

“YOU KAN KEEP TRYING TO PAY PEOPLE TO KILL ME ….. GOD IS GOING TO DEAL WITH YOU. I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOUR UNCLE. YOU WERE SO OBSESSED WITH F*CKING UP MY LIFE, BUT GOD IS GOING TO DEAL WITH YOU P*SSYS. I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. YOU AIN’T NOTHING BUT A LIL P*SSY BOY.”


Instagram

In his final post targeted toward Southside, Pharaoh shared some family secrets with the world.

“@808MAFIABOSS Truth is You Haven’t spoken to your GrandDad Who Taught You Boxing In 10 Years, You Slapped & Spit On Your Sister because You were Mad At Me. Your Mothers Brother Owes Your GrandDaddy 8 Months of Rent & is using Covid to not be Evicted. You Dead Ass Wrong. #Ungrateful #YouMadAtMyRap #IStartedTheMafia #ITaughtYouProduction.”


Instagram

Southside recently announced that he’s retiring after the next 808 Mafia album. Southside is presently live on Instagram discussing the fallout with his dad.

Wyatt Russell Is Glad That MCU Fans Hate His Captain America

by

Following in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier finally premiered on Disney Plus on March 19, marking the second Marvel Cinematic Universe television miniseries to hit the platform. With only two episodes currently out, MCU fans are still getting a feel for the Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Barnes-led superhero adventure, but there is one aspect about the Captain America spinoff that several fans are collectively not too excited about: John Walker, the new Captain America.

John Walker is played by Wyatt Russell, the son of legendary actors Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, and as you can expect, MCU fans don’t like that Captain America’s shield has been given to a character that many viewers didn’t even know existed. The social media response to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s new “hero” has been bleak, to say the least, but Wyatt Russell reveals that he’s happy about the hate that his character has been receiving.

In a statement to The Wrap, Russell talks about MCU fans’ dislike for his character, saying, “That’s the goal. [John Walker] does have those ideas in his head of wanting people to like him, like his version of Captain America. It sort of gets rained on and causes him to have to rethink how things are going to be done.”

Watch Russell’s new take on the new Captain America for yourself and see if you’re a fan of his character when The Falcon and the Winter Soldier returns for its third episode on Friday, exclusively on Disney Plus.

JJ Redick Rips The Pelicans After Trading Him To Dallas

by

JJ Redick is a veteran in the NBA and a well-respected one at that. He has also been a journeyman over the last few years as has bounced from team to team. For instance, it wasn’t so long ago that Redick was with the Philadelphia 76ers, before heading to the New Orleans Pelicans. Now, Redick is on the Dallas Mavericks, as the Pelicans dealt him to Dallas in the middle of the trade deadline.

On his podcast recently, Redick spoke about the trade and how it actually angered him. As the story goes, Redick wanted a trade out of New Orleans and even asked the team to send him closer to Brooklyn so that he could see his family. At one point, Redick even thought he might be bought out, which would allow him to go wherever he wants. Instead, the team sent him further from his family, and as you can see below, Redick was not pleased.

“I don’t think you’re going to get honesty from that front office, objectively speaking,” Redick said. “That’s not an opinion, I just don’t think you’re gonna get that. I don’t think what happened with me is necessarily an isolated incident. I think front offices around the league operate in their best interest. I get that. I understand that. Truthfully… I think I was a little naive thinking I was in Year 15 and I attempted to do things right throughout my career. But in terms of this front office, yeah, it’s not something where I would expect certainly the agents who worked on this with me to ever trust that front office again.”

The NBA can be an incredibly harsh business and most of the time, teams don’t care about the interests of the player. Despite the NBA being a player-driven league, not everyone is able to get what they want, and Redick certainly found that out the hard way.

Just Blaze Gave Mac Miller A Free Beat

by

Just Blaze is one of the game’s greatest producers, having been at the center of many classic instrumentals — including many stemming from the Roc-a-Fella dynasty at the height of the millennium. And while he has been widely celebrated for his musical talents,  there’s another quality worthy of praise — his generosity.

In a new interview with The Recording Academy, in which a variety of Mac Miller’s collaborators reflected on the late rapper’s Best Day Ever mixtape, Blaze spoke about the time he contributed “All Around The World” to the cause. “A friend of mine, Alex, we called him The Bald God, was helping me find young talent to work with,” explained Just. “Mac was on the list. Whenever he was in New York, he’d come to the studio, hang out and record. No real serious business arrangement. Let him rock and see what happens.”

“He understood, ‘This is the foundation that what I’m doing is built on,” reflects Just, noting Mac’s status as a genuine student of the rap game. “I think part of the reason why I have been able to be successful is because I understood that foundation. He reminded me of myself in that way. Some people are like, ‘That was before, this is what we’re doing now.’ The fact that he was so knowledgeable about what came before him, I admired that and I respected that.”

After whipping up the instrumental for “All Around The World,” a track that included samples from his friends over at MSTRKRFT, he proceeded to slide it over to Mac Miller and his camp. “That record, and a few other records [at the time], I didn’t charge anything for,” he states. “I was really just trying to test the room. I was able to help a few artists with their careers or help them get their start. I was happy to be a part of that with him. Again, we never had a formal business arrangement. Sometimes it’s just an artist you believe in and you try to support them however you can.”

Revisit “All Around The World” below, the beat that Just Blaze laced for Mac Miller free of charge, and sound off with your memories of Best Day Ever ten years removed from its release.

A Judge Has Ordered Lil Nas X And MSCHF To Stop Selling Their Nike ‘Satan Shoes’

by
YouTube

It was reported a couple days ago that Nike sued MSCHF Product Studio, which collaborated with Lil Nas X on the controversial “Satan shoes.” Now, it looks like that situation is swinging in Nike’s favor so far, as The Hollywood Reporter notes that a federal judge has ordered MSCHF to stop selling the custom Air Max 97 shoes. The shoes quickly sold out when initially put for sale, so it would seem Nike is trying to prevent those orders from being fulfilled.

Nike filed a trademark lawsuit against MSCHF earlier this week and followed up with a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. Nike claims the shoes will dilute their brand and the company “submitted evidence that even sophisticated sneakerheads were confused.” A Nike attorney also noted, “We have submitted numerous evidence that some consumers are saying they will never buy Nike shoes ever again.”

In a letter to the judge, MSCHF’s attorneys argued that the limited edition shoes are “not typical sneakers, but rather individually-numbered works of art that were sold to collectors for $1,018 each,” and notes that confusion among the shoes’ customers isn’t likely “given the sophistication of purchasers.”

Naturally, Nas has handled the whole situation with his signature sense of humor.

2Pac & Eminem United On Defiant “Soldier Like Me”

by

Prior to the release of 2Pac’s posthumous Loyal To The Game, Eminem asked Afeni Shakur if he could personally executive produce the project. Upon being granted permission, Em went on to produce the entirety of the 2004 album, which ultimately went on to receive mixed reviews upon release. Now, seventeen years removed from its arrival, enough dust has settled to reassess Eminem’s addition to 2Pac Shakur’s musical legacy. And where better to start than with the album’s introductory cut, and one of Em’s only vocal contributions, “Soldier Like Me.”

Over an instrumental that sounds like something Eminem might have laced for himself, Obie Trice, or 50 Cent during their early millennium Shady Records run, 2Pac’s vocals retain the same commanding presence we’ve come to expect from the late legend. “A ni*ga’s got enough knocks, I’m poppin’ at corrupt cops,” raps Pac, over Slim’s creeping keyboards. “Them motherfuckers catch a hot one / You wanted to start a problem, now you coward cops have got one.” 

While the production is certainly different territory for Pac, it’s interesting to hear his music imagined through Eminem’s creative lens — seventeen years removed from the release of Loyal To The Game, how do you feel about Eminem and 2Pac’s collaborative project? 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

A ni**a’s got enough knocks, I’m poppin’ at corrupt cops
Them motherfuckers catch a hot one
You wanted to start a problem
Now you coward cops have got one
And there’s no prison that can hold a
Motherfuckin’ soldier, ready to roll and take control
So now I jack ’em while they sleepin’
Roll to the door, throw a grenade in the precinct
