Kyrie Irving Speaks Out After A Rough Night Against The Celtics

by

Kyrie Irving’s return to Boston was highly publicized this past week especially thanks to his comments about Celtics fans and whether or not they would engage in racist smears throughout the game. Celtics fans have a negative reputation and with the playoffs in full swing, Irving wanted everything to be respectful and about basketball.

In the end, Celtics fans were on their best behavior although they did shower Kyrie with boos throughout the match. Kyrie seemed to be a bit shaken up by the reception and as a result, he had a bad game, only scoring 16 points. With Jayson Tatum scoring 50 for the Celtics, the Nets lost the game and now, Brooklyn only has a 2-1 series lead. The crowd is set to be bigger on Sunday, and as Kyrie noted, he’s ready for the challenge that awaits him.

“I mean, it’s basketball,” he said. “I’ve been in a few environments in my life so like I said, as long as it’s strictly the nature of basketball out there and there’s nothing extra, I’m cool with it. Just get some preparation with the team tomorrow and get prepared for Sunday. Going to keep it straight basketball. […] “We’re expecting a bigger crowd on Sunday. Happy it was a great start to seeing what this environment is going to be like. Just looking forward to the challenge.”

Needless to say, it was just one bad game for Kyrie who probably had a lot of emotions prior to the match. Now, he will get a chance to redeem himself and we’re sure he’ll put on quite the show in Game 4.

IDK Delivers A Go-Go Mix Of “Shoot My Shot”

by

IDK has been in the game for quite some time now. Formerly known as Jay IDK, he released a slew of mixtapes under that name before releasing his debut album Is He Real in 2019 with uncredited guest appearances from DMX, Pusha T, JID, Tyler the Creator, Burna Boy, and more. 

He experienced a new wave of recognition this year after dropping his fiery collab with Offset “Shoot My Shot.” The duo unleashed the single in late April and from the looks of it, it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest hits of his career thus far. 

The London-born, Maryland-raised artist recruits production duo New Impressionz for a re-imagined go-go mix of the single. Much of the original lyrics remain intact in the drum-heavy new go-go mix of the song, relying heavily on the catchy hook of the OG song. Notably, Offset’s verse in the original song is also omitted. 

Stream the New Impressionz Go-Go mix of “Shoot My Shot” and let us know what you think in the comments. 

Quotable Lyrics

When I used to shoot my shot, you a Matrix
Now you reappear, but I hate tricks
Look, nobody likes a fake ho
Bitch, love who I am, not my bankroll
But I’m up, so that is not realistic

 

Chuck Liddell Divulges On Potentially Fighting Jake Paul

by

Jake Paul has pissed off a lot of people throughout his journey in the boxing world. At this point, every single fighter on the planet wants a piece of him, as they would love to be the guy to knock him out, once and for all. So far, Paul has been able to maneuver the minefield in a masterful way as he continues to provoke people without even having to fight them for real. Recently, Paul got into a social media war of words with Chuck Liddell, who recently said “I’m ready anytime for that clown.”

This was in response to Jake saying that Liddell had begged him for a photo following the win against Ben Askren. On Friday, TMZ caught up with the 51-year-old in Los Angeles, where they asked him whether or not he would truly be down to fight Paul. As you can see in the clip below, Liddell would rather do other things with his life.

“He’s not good enough to fight me,” Liddell said. “It just doesn’t make sense for him. None of it makes sense for this guy. He’s going to risk getting hurt like that.”

For now, it seems like Dillon Danis is the likely next challenger for Paul. However, we could also see Jake take on Tommy Fury, which would be a lot of fun when you consider how Tyson Fury would be behind the whole ordeal.

Let us know who you want to see Paul fight next, in the comments below.

With the NBA Playoffs in full swing, various celebrities and artists are making sure to put on for their cities and their favorite teams. This happens every single postseason and it’s always fun to see who’s sitting courtside during these big events. With the Atlanta Hawks back in the playoffs for the first time in a while, it should be no surprise that artists like Quavo are front and center. Quavo has always been a massive sports fan and on Saturday, he was courtside for the team’s first home game in their series against the New York Knicks.

Quavo’s attendance proved to be a good luck charm for the team as the Hawks won the game and took a 2-1 series lead. Trae Young had himself another wonderful performance and overall, it looks like the Hawks are the better team in the series.

For instance, he showed off a brand new piece of Culture 3 merch which was made in conjunction with Gallery Department. Needless to say, it was a fun and productive night for the artist who is gearing up for a big album release in just a couple of weeks from now.

As the playoffs go on, we will surely see Quavo at more games.

by

DMX is one of the most beloved figures in hip-hop history. His passing has brought great sadness to the hip-hop community, and over the past month or so, fans have been wondering if and when posthumous material would be released. When Swizz Beatz announced he would be executive producing an album called Exodus, there was a lot to be excited about. Fans were heavily anticipating the arrival of the project and on Friday, Swizz and X’s estate delivered. Numerous songs have made a great first impression, including “Take Control” which features Snoop Dogg, and even a Marvin Gaye sample.

The sample in question comes from the track “Sexual Healing,” which is a pretty good indication of the vibe of the song. In their verses, X and Snopp speak directly to their partners as they go into intimate directions with their storytelling. These verses are tightly written and with both men staying on topic, “Take Control” proves to be a cohesive track with some great production.

Quotable Lyrics:

Kinda surprised when you was knocking at the door
‘Cause I ain’t even know you was gone, I’m like, “Where the fuck’d you go?”
What was that? Do I miss you? Do you want me to?
I’ma say yes, it must be what you want me to do

In the wake of the late DMX’s tragic, untimely death, his fans and peers have been sharing their memories and stories that reveal just what made him such a formidable force in the hip-hop world. Who better to testify to X’s power as a live performer than one of the best and most influential New York rappers in the game, Jay-Z. As the clip below shows, in a recent episode of LeBron James’ show, The Shop on HBO, even Jay-Z found X a tough act to follow. Just as he showed his fallibility in a recent episode by admitting he sometimes forgets his own lyrics, Jay let James and crew know that following up a DMX set was no easy feat.

“X is about to go on, and I’m like, you know, I wanna see,” he begins. “X is going before me. And then he goes (growls), and the f*cking arena goes crazy. First of all, it’s deafening… and I’m like oh sh*t.” Jay goes on to explain the other elements of X’s set that get the crowd hype, including ripping his shirt off halfway through his set, and then, of course, leading the entire crowd in prayer as a closing act. Then, after all that, it’s time for Jay-Z to take the stage — a tough act to follow indeed. Check out his retelling of the set above, it showcases exactly why Jay is such a successful figure in pop culture in the first place, he’s a great storyteller. And if you’re craving more DMX, check out the posthumous Exodus album his label released this past Friday.
