On what would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday, the three officers involved in her death still have not been arrested. Here’s how to demand justice.

Tekashi 6ix9ine maintains that Blueface is a one-hit-wonder, pondering why else he would *only* sell 12K copies of his debut album in its first week. Tekashi 6ix9ine has shown time and time again that he cares about his position on the charts. Ever since he first started gaining attention, his entire modus operandi was to rub it in everybody’s faces how he continually gets hits on the Billboard Hot 100. While other artists — *cough* Doja Cat — seemingly could care less about their standing on the charts, Tekashi will be the first to remind people of how poorly they lived...

Boasting tracks like “Darkness,” “Godzilla,” “Marsh,” and the Anderson .Paak assisted “Lock It Up,” Em’s tenth...
LL Cool J doesn't rap much these days. Freddie Gibbs thinks he should keep it that way. The legend dropped a freestyle honoring George Floyd and Black Lives Matter yesterday. "For 400 years you've had you're knees on our neck/ A garden of evil with no seeds of respect/In America's mirror all she sees is regret/Instead of letting blood live they begging for blood let," raps an angry Cool James. While a lot of folks liked the 52-year old's emotional bars, Gibbs mocked him on social. "Weak a$$ bars n*gga," Gibbs typed "This n*gga a cop." Some folks are...

Earlier this morning, footage surfaced of a Buffalo police officer violently shoving a 75-year-old protestor (apparently a “longtime activist) to the concrete. The clip...
