King Los Slides Through With “Mines Still x Track Star x Lucid Dreams”

by

King Los doesn’t necessarily receive the credit he deserves for his penmanship. Over the years, he’s proven to be a lyrical heavyweight with the release of freestyles, mixtapes, and singles. His pen game is mean which is why it’s always nice hearing from him. Last month, he wasted no time tackling the latest from Drake and Rick Ross as well as a classic record from Busta Rhymes. 

Even though it’s only been a few weeks, he surprised fans this week with a special mash-up of singles. Los came through with a remix that incorporated Juice WRLD’s hit record “Lucid Dreams,” Yung Bleu’s “You’re Mine Still,” and Mooski’s viral hit, “Trackstar.” It’s an interesting blend of melody and bars, though Los does make sure to distinguish the two. 

Check it out below. 

Quotable Lyrics
How n***as clickbaitin’
But couldn’t move a mouse
When a Mac put ’em to sleep
Ain’t no screensaver pop up
They claim they wanna pass words
And I go give a L out
But when I log in, they don’t say back words

Soulja Boy Is Back With “Came From The Bottom”

by

Despite the numerous setbacks in the past year or two, it seems that Soulja Boy is finally back on the right track. The SODMG leader has been unveiling new singles regularly since the top of the year including “Make It Clap” which is now a TikTok-certified anthem. It seems like Soulja Boy has spoken his recent success into existence since he also penned a brand new deal with Virgin.

The signing wasn’t going to slow down the output, though. Fresh off of the announcement, the rapper returned with a brand new single this weekend titled, “Came From The Bottom.” Soulja runs through a grungy beat with major flexes that only he can pull off.

Check out the latest offering from Soulja Boy below. Are you feeling his new record?

Quotable Lyrics
Murder gang, money gang, spit fire just like a dragon
I rub on that lamp like Aladdin
I beat up that pot, I whip up that spot
I change my location, I run up my guap

Kid Cudi Showed Love To ‘That Weird Little Flute’ In Rap Songs In An ‘SNL’ Sketch

by

It was just a few years ago that Future’s “Mask Off,” and the infectious flute that was present on the song, took the music world by storm. The track is just one of many rap records to feature a heavy presence of the woodwind instrument. It’s a quality that caught the eye of Kid Cudi and a few Saturday Night Live cast members as they delivered a sketch in honor of “that weird little flute.”

Cudi, along with Pete Davidson and Chris Redd, joined forces for a song that finds them flaunting their own flutes and expressing their love for it. Later on in the skit, Timothée Chalamet joins in on the fun musical sketch.

In addition to the sketch, Cudi was the musical guest for the SNL episode. He performed “Sad People” and “Tequila Shots” and the former caught the attention of most viewers as Cudi stepped on stage rocking an Off-White floral dress, noticeably similar to the one Kurt Cobain famously wore. Following the performance, Cudi shared his intention with the dress in a pair of tweets. “Virgil designed the dress for me. I told him I wanted to show love to Kurt w a floral print sundress and this man made a masterpiece,” he said. “Thank You @virgilabloh ur a f*ckin genius!! Love you man we did it!!!” In a second tweet, he added, “Im doin a collection w Off White and the dress will be included!!”

You can watch the flute sketch in the video above.

LaMelo Ball Continues To Practice Despite Wrist Injury: Watch

by

LaMelo Ball was having an incredible rookie campaign to start this season and by all accounts, he was on track to win the Rookie Of The Year award. Sure, his first professional game was abysmal but the way he bounced back was truly sensational. His passes, shooting, and defense have all been extremely solid and there is no denying that LaMelo has superstar potential written all over him.

Unfortunately, Ball fractured his wrist recently which forced him out of the Hornets lineup. Now, it is expected that Melo will be out for the season although, despite this, his team is maintaining its position in the Eastern Conference, where they are comfortably in the playoff picture.

Melo has been inspired by his teammates and despite his injury, he is still practicing his shooting out on the court. In the videos below, you can see Melo getting up some shots prior to a game and as it turns out, his cast continues to get smaller which is a really good sign. For now, Melo is only using his left hand and so far, he’s looking pretty good.

It remains to be seen whether or not Ball will be able to speed up his recovery but regardless, these latest clips are an example of how Melo has a ton of fight in him.

“Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings” Leak Reveals Plot Details & Costumes

by

Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings will be the first predominantly Asia film in the MCU. It will introduce the titular character to audiences, and hopefully, we’ll get the MCU’s first dope kung-fu flick. Simu Liu plays Shang Chi, but not much else has been revealed. We know that the film will touch down on September 3rd, and will be the second of four MCU films dropping this year (Black Widow, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Eternals are the other three).

Although there hasn’t been much on Shang-Chi, a toy leak just changed all that by giving fans their first glimpse at the hero. The leak shows the back of four action figure boxes: Shang Chi, Death Dealer, Wenwu, and Xialing. Wenwu is confirmed as Shang Chi’s father and also the leader of the villainous Ten Rings organization. Xialing is revealed to be Shang Chi’s sister, while Death Dealer is obviously a bad guy. The toy boxes also give us the first look at the costumes for the film.

It will be interesting to see how Shang Chi plays into the bigger picture, and we know that Mandarin (who was a dupe villain in Iron Man 3), will also get a real origin here.   

Cam’ron Announces New Project “Camdemic” For The Summer

by

Just before the pandemic hit, Cam’ron released Purple Haze 2. Thankfully, he was able to hit the road and tour off of the project for a few months and wrapped up the series of dates just as the world began to lockdown. However, the rapper’s output over the past year has been minimal.

Though there’s no update on The Program 2, it seems that Cam’s been cooking up throughout the past year. The rapper revealed that he will be unleashing a brand new album this summer called Camdemic, just in time for Independence Day. The rapper hit the ‘Gram where he previewed some new heat off of the project featuring production from The Heatmakerz. “Me and @sugadugga1988 making that before the month is up, another 50k n***a before the sun come up, a spare $8500 to fix ya mother butt,” Cam wrote in the caption of the post, pulling lyrics from the upcoming record. “#Camdemic July 4,” he added. Kevin Durant hit the comment section with a series of fire emojis so clearly, he’s amped. 

Perhaps, we could’ve expected that an album rollout was on the way since he recently made an appearance on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN. The rapper detailed his beginnings in rap, his time with Roc-A-Fella, and the saga with his condo neighbor that nearly ended with a restraining order.

Lena Waithe Hit With Backlash Over Graphic Racist Violence In “Them”

by

Although Lena Waithe is only credited with producing the final two episodes of the show Them, the internet has come for her head. The series gets very graphic, with one episode featuring a brutal murder and sexual assault and another episode featuring two Black people get their eyes gouged out. Waithe produced the latter of the two episodes in question, which were highlighted in a Los Angeles Times review. 

The internet took pieces of that review and retweeted it with shots taken at Waithe. The writer, who is known for Master of None, The Chi, and Queen & Slim, may not have been involved in the series push for extreme violence, but fans have come for her no less. “To be clear this is peak Lena Waithe,” wrote one angry user. “She seems incapable of being attached to projects about Black people without reveling in Black pain–especially when she is in charge. Play on the name, use one of the same actresses but expressly torture Black bodies.” Waithe has infamously claimed that other big names hurt the black community, so to see her caught up in this drama is strange. However, it isn’t the first time she’s been called out for creating what many called “trauma porn/”

“Everyone called Them a Jordan Peele knockoff, but it’s WORSE than that, because Jordan Peele makes horror and Lena Waithe makes trauma porn,” wrote another user, referencing the Peele knockoff jokes that Them has endured because of the title. How do you feel about Them?
