R. Kelly might be in jail but his birthday is still being celebrated in an extremely bizarre fashion. R. Kelly spent his 53rd birthday behind bars for thirteen felony counts including enticement of a minor, obstruction of justice, aggravated sexual assault, and more. The artist born Robert Kelly was denied bail by a judge after concerns of the artist becoming a flight risk. Despite the R&B singer being locked up behind bars, that hasn’t stopped the Pied Piper from making headlines on almost a daily basis. In the past week alone a second installment of the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly debuted...
Happy birthday, Preme! Upon first glance, you would think that Drake travelled back in time to have a chill session with one of rap’s biggest legends ever. The picture that the Torontonian posted today to his social media profiles shows him wearing a white bucket hat during a video shoot with his boys. The man he’s sitting next to is known mostly for his joint record “Jackie Chan” with Post Malone, as well as for being Drake’s best friend. Preme doesn’t always resemble Tupac Shakur but, for some reason, he looks nearly identical to the late icon in this shot. A$AP...
The Lakers are on a roll. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers had some lofty expectations thrust upon them at the beginning of the season.

Luckily for the Lakers, they have been nothing short of phenomenal this season and currently boast the best record in the Western Conference at 30-7. On Tuesday night, the team pulled off yet another big win as they blew out the New York Knicks by 30 points....
Nets fans should stay cautiously optimistic. Kyrie Irving is one of the best point guards in the game. Unfortunately, he has been sidelined for much of this season thanks to a nagging shoulder injury. Just last week, it was revealed that Irving could miss the entire season if he were to get shoulder surgery. Instead, Irving opted for cortisone shots and is hoping they can help him recover quicker. According to ESPN, Irving has started doing contact practices and is even working in 5-on-5 drills. As Irving explains, he is hoping to take his recovery day by day. “We...
Does the elder statesman of Hip-Hop have a point? One of the biggest issues plaguing Hip-Hop today is the generational divide between the younger emcees currently killing the charts and the big homies that laid the foundation for the Soundcloud era to pull from — often people disrespectfully refer to the latter group as “old heads.” Legendary producer from rap’s golden era Pete Rock recently spoke out to address the current state of rap, and his stance on the new cats is far from praiseworthy. It goes without saying that times have changed since Pete Rock debuted three decades ago alongside his partner in rhyme CL Smooth with their...

A major title for Eminem. Detroit rapper Eminem released four studio albums in the last decade and that was enough to earn him yet another title contributing to his legendary status. As we wait patiently for him to drop his next body of work after it was teased by 50 Cent months ago, we have a unique opportunity of looking back on the last ten years of musical activity and determining who had the biggest impact on us as a community. While much of Em’s significance came before the last decade, he continued his string of successful releases all...
What exactly happened here? Beyoncé is a pretty private person most of the time, often keeping to herself until it’s time to drop a bomb on all of us and stop the world. Part of this mysterious and enigmatic existence is Beyoncé’s tendency not to throw likes around on social media, often reserving her Internet activity for her own, often captionless posts and tossing the occasional thumbs up to a deserving user. That’s why this recent move of hers shocked fans so much, they started coming up with possible explanations for it since it was so out of character. The post above may seem like your...
Not a good look for the Zoom Freak 1. Before Zion Williamson could even be drafted into the NBA, he became famous on Twitter for bursting through his shoe. The sneaker he was wearing at the time was a Nike PG 2.5 and the brand immediately looked to find a solution. It’s not every day a player explodes through their shoe and Nike wanted to make sure it never happened again. Unfortunately, Wesley Matthews of the Milwaukee Bucks was on the receiving end of an exploding shoe, last night. Matthews was wearing his teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo’s signature shoe, the...

Releasing his debut Cottonwood project last month, big things appear to be in the cards for Choppa. Sitting down with Adam22 of No Jumper, the teenager spoke about a slew of topics relevant to his career,...
