Kobe kept tabs on all of the guys ranked ahead of him in high school. Before Kobe Bryant was a five-time NBA champion and a sure-fire Hall of Famer, he was just a 13-year old kid with a chip on his shoulder. A chip on his shoulder and a “Kill List.” This list consisted of kids in Kobe’s age group that were ranked higher than him – and there were plenty to choose from considering the mini mamba barely cracked the Top 200 heading into his sophomore year at Lower Merion. During a recent appearance on the “All The Smoke” podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson,...
Drake, Bruno Mars, 21 Savage and others also had some of the most popular songs of the decade. At the beginning of the decade, would anybody have guessed that Post Malone, of all people, would have three of the most popular songs of the last ten years? The “White Iverson” rapper blew up on SoundCloud a few years ago and his rise to superstardom has been nothing short of incredible. With his goofy persona and his face filled with ink markings, the Texas-raised rapper has become a true fan-favorite after being criticized for so long by the hip-hop community....
AB says Chelsie Kyriss is refusing to leave his Fort Lauderdale estate. Antonio Brown is reportedly back in court, this time over issues with the mother of his child, Chelsie Kyriss. According to The Blast, Brown sued Kyriss back in December for refusing to leave his Fort Lauderdale estate, despite the fact that she was served an eviction notice. However, she has refused to leave and now AB is hoping that a Florida judge will grant him a default judgement, forcing Kryiss to pack her bags once and for all. Per court documents obtained by The Blast: Brown said he “repeatedly demanded...
Steve Harvey says he knows “nothing” about them dating. Lori Harvey has been around her fair share of highly-successful musicians, dating a number of powerful men in the industry. She was recently linked to Diddy (and his son), Trey Songz, and other stars. There is no confirmation whether or not she’s officially made her way off of Meek Mill‘s wishlist but one thing is for certain, she’s definitely been hanging around with another icon in the rap world. Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Spotted on a few different vacations with Atlanta rapper Future, Lori Harvey has been warned by many of...
A judge vacated the ruling that Birdman would have to pay his former employee $1M. Among the many people that Birdman has screwed over financially, it’s hard to imagine that his lawyer is one of them. According to The Blast, Birdman will not have to pay his former employee $1M in back wages after a judge decided to vacate the ruling. The Cash Money CEO initially filed documents in late 2019 demanding that the judge vacate the $1M default judgment granted to his former employee who sued over unpaid wages.

“Fuck you, I’m not leaving this stupid plastic tag on.” Virgil Abloh’s Off-White Nike collabs are among the most coveted sneakers in the game right now, despite their unconventional design and gaudy zip ties. The kicks typically resell for hundreds or thousands of dollars more than they retail for, and it has Joe Rogan wondering just what the hell is going on. During episode #1407 of the Joe Rogan Experience with author Michael Malice, Rogan gave his take on the Off-White Nikes while discussing how people pretend to like things simply because they’re “the cool thing.” You can check out his full...
The Migo Gang are back to complete the trilogy. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And while it hasn’t entirely been a period of total exodus for the Migos, 2019 found them slowing their output considerably. Unsurprisingly so, given the sheer volume of material they dropped in 2018, with Culture 2, Quavo‘s solo debut Quavo Huncho, and Takeoff‘s The Last Rocket. While we did receive Offset‘s Father Of 4 nearly one year ago, 2019 was relatively quiet by comparison for the Atlanta trio. As a result, there’s a welcome sense of mystery surrounding Culture III, an album many are hoping to be a return to form. Nicholas...
“I was like, ‘man, fuck. I might have to fight this dude.'” Kobe Bryant recently joined Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on their “All The Smoke” podcast and there were plenty of old school stories to be shared, not least the infamous “no flinch” ball fake. In discussing the now iconic moment that took place on March 7, 2010, Barnes shed some light on why he always relished the opportunity to play against the Black Mamba. “When I played you I looked forward to it because – everyone know how fucking good you are – but you mentally attack people, too....
Fultz has made a huge comeback this year. Just a year ago, many NBA fans were calling Markelle Fultz a bust who would never amount to anything in the league. Fultz was drafted first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers and played very few games with them before being traded to Orlando. Shoulder problems plagued Fultz’s first few years in the league and it was hard for him to build momentum. Eventually, these issues are what brought on the bust label. Now, Fultz is thriving in Orlando and looks like a player with the potential to be dominant, for years...
The Safdie Brothers almost went another direction. For those who have already caught the critically acclaimed Uncut Gems, you’re well aware that The Weeknd (playing himself) is plays a role in the film. Today, NME sat down with the directors behind the A24 flick, Josh and Benny Safdie, who revealed that Abel wasn’t always part of the plans. In fact, there were a few other contenders in the mix, namely A$AP Ferg, who would have played a character named Privilege in Weeknd’s stead. Theo Wargo/Getty Images “Before we became friends with Weeknd, he saw a movie we made called Heaven Knows What,” explains Josh...
