Eminem’s Triumphant "Not Afraid" Turns Ten

Ten years ago, Eminem delivered one of his defining songs in “Not Afraid,” the lead single from his “Recovery” album. Ten years ago today, Eminem came through with the lead single off his seventh studio album Recovery, the Boi-1da produced “Not Afraid.” Contextually, the song served as a major stylistic departure for Slim, especially in the afterglow of 2009’s twisted Relapse album.

Akademiks Confirms NBA YoungBoy Is Taking A Hiatus

Following an onslaught of negativity and embittered feuds, YoungBoy Never Broke Again doubles down on his hiatus from the game. You can love him or hate him — and many fall vehemently into one camp or another — but you can’t deny the passion of YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

Unfortunately, the balance has proven too difficult to bear for the young hip-hop star, who recently vowed to stop releasing new music after his 38 Baby 2 project. ...

Elon Musk Passionately Calls For America’s Freedom

In the ongoing debate about reopening the United States of America, Elon Musk has come forward with a passionate stance. If there’s one reality that we can all agree on, it’s that those Tesla Trucks aren’t going to buy themselves, people. Especially not when a coronavirus-related recession continues to wreak havoc on the American economy. Unfortunately, many health experts are wary about fully committing to a full-scale “reopening” of the country, putting them at odds with several gung-ho individuals seeking to salvage what remains of business normalcy. Of course, such is a gross oversimplification of a complicated socio-political-economic discourse...

It looks like Migos are rolling out their upcoming mixtape, as Quavo came through to officially announce “Taco Tuesday.” Like many rap artists grappling with the prospect of releasing an album, the Migos have been feeling the impact of COVID-19 in a major way.
