I’ll be the first to admit it – I am 100 percent about the digital wave. Let’s be honest – life is only getting easier with non-physical items. Heck, look at the popularity of NFTs in 2021 and even the next-generation gaming consoles have embraced providing a digital-only version in contrast to their disc-ready units. […]

Tory Lanez was recently involved in a car crash earlier this morning. The divisive Canadian rapper took to Instagram to share footage of the aftermath, showcasing a pair of wrecked vehicles. One of them happened to be an Uber he was riding in, which suffered extreme damage.
While filming, Tory can be heard saying “n***as almost just died, we got in a car accident in a fucking Uber. Oh my gosh, bro.” Though he doesn’t say much, it’s clear from his cadence that the incident left him shaken. Luckily, the rapper appeared to be unharmed.
Though details surrounding the crash are as-of-yet unclear, Tory later took to Twitter to reflect on the circumstances — insinuating that a more nefarious conspiracy was perhaps afoot. “Strange,” he notes. “It almost felt like someone knew to crash into us.” A heavy allegation, and one that insinuates that his enemies are actively looking to do him harm. In his report on the accident, Akademiks echoed Tory’s suspicions, noting that “they tried to take out #torylanez.”
It didn’t take long before many fans began speculating on who might have orchestrated such a plan, with many encouraging Tory to consider moving more cautiously in the future. Check out video from the aftermath of the accident, as well as Tory’s follow-up tweets, below.

Since joining the cast of Everyday Struggle, Wayno has become one of Hip-Hop’s respected cultural commentators, and as a result, he has earned his own solo Twitch show with Amazon Music, titled CONNECTED with Wayno.
For the latest episode of his Twitch show, Wayno brought Migos onto the show, fresh off the release of the deluxe version of Culture III. Unfortunately, Takeoff is not present, but Quavo and Offset still put on for the Migos in his absence. During the first half of their interview, Migos talk about the new album, what their mindset was like in the transition period between Culture II and Culture III, and their song selection process. The final stretch of the interview is where things get a bit more interesting, however, as Quavo and Offset answer live fan questions about the Migos.
Selected at random by Wayno, the fan questions posed by the live viewers were all over the place, with some yielding obvious answers and others prompting intriguing responses from the Migos rappers. After one fan asks if Migos will start adding more Offset choreography in their videos, Offset hilariously recounts the viral video of him dancing in Whitney Houston’s “Whatchulookinat” music video as a child, saying, “I been a legend. That was the birth of a legend right there, you know what I’m saying? It wasn’t something I bragged about. I just let y’all find that out ’cause it was destined.”
Another interesting tidbit arises when a fan asks them, “Who is your biggest inspiration?” Rather than rattling off a list of influential rappers, however, Offset offers the definitive answer and offers insight into a recurring motif throughout their album covers, saying, “Our mommas. That’s why we always shout them out. Our family members, our grandmamas. That’s why you see them doves. That’s grandma on them album covers.”
Quavo and Offset also talk about who would win in a one-on-one basketball game between Quavo and Drake, wanting to work with Rihanna, and several other topics, so check out Migos’ interview with Wayno here. The Atlanta Hip-Hop group pops up around the 21-minute mark.
For any emcee over the age of 40, it’s likely that Big Daddy Kane is among their key formative influences. Easily one of the forefathers of hip-hop, the dexterous spitter has come to encapsulate the archetype of “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.” Alongside fellow lyricists like KRS One and Rakim, Kane paved the way for those that followed in his footsteps — including Eminem, JAY-Z, and Common.
In case you missed it, Kane has been actively working on an upcoming Netflix documentary titled Paragraphs I Manifest, and according to a recent report by HipHopDX, there are going to be a few high-profile guests on board. Speaking with the publication, Kane confirmed that Em, JAY, Common, and more will be appearing in the film. “I got JAY-Z, Eminem, KRS-One, Doug E. Fresh,” he confirmed. “I even got some of the battle rappers like Goodz Da Animal and Aye Verb, so it’s coming out real good. I’m supposed to do Common.”
Evidently, Kane succeeded in his goal of securing a Common interview; he later posted a picture of their link-up on his Instagram page, as he once did following his meetings with Em and Hov. It should be noted that after Kane connected with Slim Shady, many speculated that the pair were in the midst of recording a collaboration. Alas, that does not appear to be the case, though it should certainly be interesting hearing the pair in conversation.
According to Kane’s recent post with Common, the project is nearing completion. “We almost done,” he confirms. Keep an eye out for an official release date whenever it ends up surfacing. Are you excited to see Big Daddy Kane’s upcoming documentary?

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were spotted hanging out in New York City, Wednesday night, at SoHo’s Barcade, a popular bar that features vintage video games. In a video published by TMZ from the bar, the couple can be seen playing games as nearby patrons try to contain their excitement.
In other pictures taken from their night out, Rihanna could be seen rocking a pink summer dress, Dior beads, a Fendi bag, and a matching bucket hat. Rocky sported a purple knitted tank top.
“The love of my life. My lady,” Rocky recently said when asked about his relationship with Rihanna in an interview with GQ.
He explained: “[A relationship is] so much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”
Rocky also recently spoke with Entertainment Tonight about his arrest in Sweeden and Rihanna’s support during that time.
He said that it was “important having that support in real life,” and explained that “it’s amazing and I’m honestly truly blessed, for real.”
Rocky’s incarceration is explored in the new documentary Stockholm Syndrome, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival, earlier this month.

Many of Hollywood’s biggest stars are rallying behind Britney Spears, after the pop music icon publicly addressed the court amidst her battle to be released from her conservatorship. The guardianship was originally placed implimented in 2008, following her infamous public meltdown.
In one of the most heartbreaking moments, Spears explained that she isn’t allowed to have her IUD removed, despite wanting to start a family.
“I would like to get married and have a baby,” Spears told the court. “But this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it (the IUD) out because they don’t want me to have children … This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I deserve to have a life.”
Many fans and celebrities on social media voiced their support for Spears after the court appearance.
“After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time,” Justin Timberlake, who dated Spears for a brief time, wrote on Twitter. “Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was… what’s happening to her is just not right. No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body. No one should EVER be held against their will… or ever have to ask permission to access everything they’ve worked so hard for…”
