Lil Baby opens up about his decision to stay ink-free in a new interview. You may not have noticed it or thought about it much, but Lil Baby is on a very short list of rappers who doesn’t have any ink on his body. The ATL rapper recently opened up about his choice to stay tattoo-free in a new interview with New York Times, and it all has to do with stacking his paper. Baby said he never wanted to look like a “dope boy” and wanted to keep his appearance straight for future meetings with the white folks. “I never...
Deontay Wilder’s old interview with Joe Rogan seems to contradict the excuse for why he lost to Tyson Fury. Deontay Wilder has made some head-scratching statements in the days since losing his Heavyweight Championship to Tyson Fury, most notably the bizarre excuse for why he got his ass kicked. In case you missed it, Wilder claims that his legs were weakened due to the 45-pound costume (don’t forget the helmet and all the batteries!) that he wore on his walk to the ring in honor of Black History Month. Fight fans were quick to criticize Wilder immediately after he muttered that ridiculous excuse, and it...
With both Royce Da 5’9″ and Eminem having dropped new albums in 2020, fans have debated whether Bad has surpassed Evil on the mic. While it’s not uncommon to see Eminem ranked rather highly in matters of lyrical pedigree, those who value the artform know Royce Da 5’9″ isn’t far away. There’s a reason that Bad Meets Evil finds them operating on equal ground, the perfect counterpart to one another; both share a gleeful appreciation of gallows humor, a penchant for wordplay, and the ridiculous ability for seeking and destroying new pockets. Now, with 2020 bringing Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered...

How Roddy Ricch’s “The Box,” and a strange noise that almost didn’t make the song may have changed his career. It begins like the eerie score of a classic horror film with shrieking trumpets diving against your ear drums stimulating the brain’s temporal lobe, the part responsible for emotion. After which, an equally gory squeaking, screeching ‘ee-urrr’ – the best way I can describe it is wet shoes dragging across tile floors or a modified bed creak from “Some Cut” by Trillville. That sound ushers in the beat to beget the year’s top song. Somehow these noises combine to create a...
Newcomer White Gold reveals how he originally linked up with the Bad Meets Evil boys, Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″. Many fans were first introduced to the name White Gold this year, through his appearances on Eminem‘s Music To Be Murdered By and Royce Da 5’9’s The Allegory. For those keeping score, the Bronx songwriter appeared on Eminem’s Bad Meets Evil reunion “You Gon’ Learn” as well as Royce’s “Black Savage” and “Hero. But questions remained as to how a 33-year-old New York vocalist ended up connecting with one of hip-hop’s most respected lyrical duos. Thanks to some groundwork from GENIUS, the inspirational story has...

Recently, Ben Simmons went down with a back injury and could very well miss the rest of the season.

LeBron James was dominant against the Pelicans and will now have to sit out against the lowly Warriors. LeBron James continues to be impressive well into his 17th season in the NBA. The 35-year-old has been dominant on the court and is having one of his best seasons when it comes assists. While he isn’t scoring at the same clip he used to, there is no doubt that he remains a top-five player in the league. Just a couple of nights ago, James had one of his best performances of the entire season as he dropped 40 points on the...
