During a conversation on Instagram Live, DMX questioned Fat Man Scoop's decision to place Lloyd Banks on a list of all-time great lyricists.

"Lloyd Banks? Lyrical?" he asked. "Quote four bars. Impress me with four bars of his. It shouldn't be hard."

When Fat Man Scoop failed to come up with any lyrics that stood out to him from the G-Unit soldier, DMX was somehow proven right. However, Lloyd Banks (and a bunch of angry hip-hop heads) has a bone to pick with him because of the comments. Constantly overlooked, Banks hopped onto Twitter with some kind words for X after hearing his stance.

"Dogman is my guy and all but Wth DMX talkin bout lol @Lloydbanks," asked one fan on Twitter. "I have no clue..god bless him," replied the rapper.

Clearly, Lloyd Banks believes he belongs on a list of the best lyricists of all time, which isn't really that obscure of an opinion. For years, he proved to the world that he can write some of the slickest punch lines in hip-hop so why would he not deserve his spot on the list? It's not like he didn't come through every time he stepped into the booth...

What do you make of this? Does Lloyd Banks make your list?

Neymar is one of the biggest and best soccer players in the entire world. The Brazilian continues to shine out on the pitch and fans are always excited to see what kind of moves he can pull off. Neymar is also known for being a bit of a sneaker enthusiast and has been teamed up with Nike over the past couple of years. He has come through with some cool collabs and now, it appears as though he has yet another coming down the pipeline in the form of a Nike Air Max 2090.

As you can see from the official images below, the base of the shoe is a solid beige while pink, yellow, green, and orange highlights are found all the way throughout. This is by far one of the most unique Air Max 2090s we have seen since the shoe was released back in March and it only makes sense that Neymar would be the man to give it to us.

Bas has earned his position as one of the most talented emcees on J. Cole‘s roster, a fact made wholly evident by his effortless flows on Revenge Of The Dreamers 3. But before he was snapping on “Down Bad,” Bas was putting in work on his highly underrated Milky Way album, a project that featured singles like “Boca Raton,” “Tribe,” and the bar-heavy “Purge.” Today, Bas took a moment to reflect on the final stages of the album, which included a productive listening session with none other than J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar.

“That time Cole and Kendrick pulled up to my crib to hear Milky Way when I was still working on it,” writes Bas, alongside a throwback picture from his personal archives. “At the time me and Cole were at peace with leaving Purge off the album and leaning more into the melodic records. Dot said we were buggin so I put it back on the album. When the [goats] talk you gotta listen!”

Given that “Purge” has become somewhat of a fan favorite, clocking in an impressive six million views on YouTube, it’s clear that Kendrick made the right call. One has to wonder if Bas was able to convince his label boss to commit to that anticipated Kendrick Lamar collaboration album, or if it even came up at all. Either way, it’s cool to see Cole and Kendrick holding it down for Bas — check out the picture and anecdote below. 

Rob Gronkowski shocked the football world about a month ago when he decided to come out of retirement. He was eventually traded from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he will be reunited with his one and only quarterback, Tom Brady. Fans are extremely excited about his comeback and the consensus is that the Buccaneers are primed and ready for a playoff run.

Recently, Gronkowski was interviewed by Ellen Degeneres where he was asked about his decision to come back to the NFL. As he explained, Brady had a little bit to do with it although it ultimately came down to wanting to be closer to his family.

Whenever something pops off in the media about race, you better believe Azealia Banks is going to voice her opinion about it. This weekend, Doja Cat was revealed to have regularly frequented alt-right, incel-type chat rooms where she allegedly engaged in some pretty clear anti-Black conversations. The rapper, who has family from South Africa, has apologized for the videos before explaining that she was only there to "socialize." Unfortunately, that clarification was not enough for some of her fans, who decided to cancel the rapper on Twiter. 

Azealia Banks is among those who want absolutely nothing to do with Doja Cat and she's also going after her "Say So" collaborator, Nicki Minaj, for remaining quiet on the issue.

"Another thing that I find fucking funny, is Nicki... for all the fucking mouth you have for Cardi B for talking shit about black women, and now you quiet because you got your little number one with this white bitch," said Azealia on Instagram, referring to Doja Cat as a "white bitch." 

"You a pussy ass bitch. Fuck outta here. ... You shoulda got right on that Queen Radio and you put that bitch in the ground where she belongs. Put that bitch down in the fucking South African emerald mine where the fuck that white bitch belongs. Now I'm looking back at it, you were just jealous of Cardi... She's got more swag than you. You made a whole radio show about how Cardi B is bad for black women."

In the same video, Azealia Banks also said she thinks Cardi B is trash (of course...) and claimed to have had sex with Dave Chappelle so, there's that.

One of the most popular sneakers in streetwear over the last four years has been the AdidasYeezy Boost 350 V2 which was designed by Kanye West and his team. This sneaker started out as a model that was very rare and limited but now, it seems like new colorways are coming out every single month. These offerings are typically very similar to one another and while fans have taken notice of this change, they are always ready to cop more colorways for their collection.

Yeezy Mafia has been steady with the Kanye sneaker info over the years and today, they revealed a brand new colorway called “ABEZ.” As they explained in the post below, this word means “Tin” and the colorway certainly fits that description. The upper is mostly silver although as you can see, there is a faint shade of yellow that helps line the entire shoe. Overall, it makes for an interesting colorway that will certainly look good with your Fall clothes.

You can expect these to drop during the aforementioned Fall season for the usual $220 USD. Stay tuned for all of the latest updates as we will be sure to bring them to you. Also, let us know what you think of the colorway in the comments below.

Henry Cejudo has been considered to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC over the last few years and he has been absolutely dominant in the lower weight classes. He has won matches in every division he has tried and fans are always excited to see what he will be able to do next, even if he is a bit of a cringe master in his pre-fight staredowns.

Most recently, Cejudo defeated Dominick Cruz to defend the Bantamweight title in what was a fairly contentious fight. Following the match, there were rumblings that Cejudo would retire from the UFC entirely and now, those rumors have been confirmed. According to Ariel Helwani of ESPN, Cejudo's name has been taken off of various UFC lists and the Bantamweight title has been declared vacant. Simply put, Cejudo's retirement is all but confirmed.

For whatever reason, it’s seeming like the game is finally ready to openly give Eminem his flowers — that’s not to say rappers haven’t sung his praises before, but it feels as if Music To Be Murdered By really left a lasting impression on the game. Not only did Drake implement elements of “Superman” into his recent “Chicago Freestyle,” but not Tory Lanez appears to be drawing from the box of Em classics for his latest snippet.

Taking to both Instagram and TikTok to have some fun, Tory showcases a new “track” he’s been working on. A track that appears to be built around the climactic moments of D12’s “My Band,” otherwise known as “My Salsa.” In the clip, Tory channels Eminem’s amusing and bewildering foray into mariachi territory, adding his own signature spin on it in the process; needless to say, this isn’t what we had in mind when he teased a “Spanish Album.”

After many fans were quick to react in confusion, Tory was forced to clarify the situation. “Real ones know this is from EM,” he comments, his facepalm emoji suggesting his frustration with the lack of early millennium hip-hop knowledge. Of all the Eminem songs to see repurposed, who’d have thought “My Band” would land the special treatment? Either way, it’s cool to see Tory pay homage to one of the greatest to ever do it — perhaps one day they’ll collaborate on an actual track. After all, it’s clear that Em’s pal Joyner Lucas has a few things to say about the Canadian lyricist. 

It’s been a rough few months for NBA fans as the Coronavirus has forced the league to completely shut down until further notice. The season was just starting to get good and it looked as though we were going to end up with some pretty magic playoff matchups. Of course, this never ended up coming to fruition and now the NBA is looking at scenarios for a comeback. For instance, the league has already began talks with Disney that would see teams play in one of their facilities.

According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, there is a rumor floating around that when the league eventually returns, there will be no regular-season and that it will begin with a 16-team playoff. It has also been noted that the league might even consider doing 1-16 seeding to switch things up.

“I really think there’s a good chance that this is only gonna be a 16-team playoff,” Windhorst said. “If that is the case, it opens up the possibility for something that Adam Silver has long wanted, which is to seed from 1 through 16 in the postseason and go that route.”

There have been numerous scenarios floating around as of late so stay tuned for the latest information as this is a developing story.

Yaya Mayweather is currently under investigation for allegedly stabbing Lapattra Jacobs, one of her boyfriend Youngboy Never Broke Again‘s baby mamas. The strange love triangle attack has Mayweather facing life in prison and, as we wait for more updates on her legal status, the 20-year-old is sharing boo’d up pictures with her rapper beau.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Yaya Mayweather posted a new photo of her and Youngboy Never Broke Again, confirming that they’re still together and choosing a strange song to showcase at the top.

The photo was accompanied by one of Summer Walker‘s tracks from her debut album. Her collaboration with Jhené Aiko, titled “I’ll Kill You”, is actually a beautiful love song. However, the title of the song is a little questionable for somebody in Yaya Mayweather’s position to be sharing on the internet. After all, she did just allegedly threaten the life of Lapattra Jacobs, leaving her paralyzed in one of her arms. She probably doesn’t want to be sharing songs with titles that seem like murder threats…

Are you surprised that Yaya and Youngboy have made it this far or do you think they’re the real deal? Are we looking at the next Ike and Tina?
