Kanye West returned to his hometown of Chicago, IL for a one-off Sunday Service performance during NBA All-Star Weekend. Throughout this weekend's festivities, Kanye West gave back to the community of Chicago giving away his brand new YEEZY Basketball sneakers for free and getting free promo for the kicks as the Migos' Quavo took to the court in the new silhouette during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. While Ye's sneakers got some free publicity this weekend, the "Back To Life" producer quietly revealed that he was going to perform at the University of Illinois Chicago's Credit Union 1 Arena this Sunday (Feb. 16) his Twitter account.

Back in 2019, Nike debuted the Air Max 270 React to the world. The sneaker is incredibly comfortable thanks to its Air Max 270 back heel and React midsole. The use of two separate midsole cushions made this sneaker truly unique and was a fan favorite throughout the summer months of last year. Now, in 2020, Nike is completely revamping the upper of the sneaker. With a new upper comes a new name in the form of the Nike Air Max 270 React ENG.

We’ve seen a few colorways of this sneaker so far and now, we’re getting yet another, this time in the form of a summer-ready “Glacial Blue” offering. As you can see, the upper is completely covered in a vibrant icy blue that will look great with any of your summer outfits. This color might not be for everyone but it’s certainly something worth at least putting on your feet to see if they work with your style. 

According to Sneaker News, these will be dropping in a few weeks from now for $170 USD. Let us know in the comments below what you think of these. Are they a must-cop?

A Quando Rondo concert in Norfolk, VA ended abruptly when the “Safest” rapper was struck with a water bottle and he jumped into the crowd to address his attacker. Earlier this year, the Savannah, GA-bred artist released his debut studio album, QPac (2020), which peaked at the 22nd slot on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart. With a successful album under his belt, the 20-year-old emcee is officially on tour and enjoying every minute of it. Except for his Saturday (Feb. 15) night performance when he was hit in the face with a bottle while performing at Dolce Luxury Lounge. 

In the video, a shirtless Quando Rondo is seen on stage when he is unexpectedly smacked with an open water bottle in the face. Rondo, born Tyquian Terrel Bowman, then questions the crowd stating, “Who the f*ck did that? Hey, on 6-0, who did that? Go get the rod.” After questioning the concert-goers and not receiving an answer, the “Motivation” rapper hopped off stage in pursuit of the person who hit him with the bottle before the video comes to an end.   

After the show, Quando Rondo took to his Instagram account to call out his assailant, saying:

“I put this on 6-0, y’all bitch ass niggas knew not to come outside. On God, I was gon’ sling that iron at y’all niggas’ ass, on hood… On my mama, whoever threw that water at me, I put this on gang, this on everything I love. If y’all niggas woulda came outside ya’ll ass woulda got stepped on.”

The following day (Feb. 16), Quando Rondo took to his IG Story again in a much calmer fashion, blowing the incident off and showing off a stack money saying:

“On hood, that sh*t ain’t even that serious, man. Y’all talking about a water bottle. Y’all niggas p*ssies. Pinker than these 50s.” 

With the incident now behind him and continuing his current tour, Quando Rondo has the opportunity to become a standout act of this new generation of hip-hop artists if he remains consistent. Check out the clip of him blowing off the situation in the video provided below and check out our interview with the rapper, here. 

Supreme has shared a new teaser featuring its Spring/Summer 2020 collection that features a hologram of the late Tupac Shakur.

The new clip features the Supreme logo on the hologram's underwear just beneath the iconic "Thug Life" tattoo. The hologram then proceeds to grab a mic to perform 'Pac's "Hail Mary" track. 

The hologram in the clip can best be recognized as the same 2-d image that was featured in Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's healding Coachella set in 2012. It was there that the reincarnation of Pac performed "Hail Mary" and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” alongside Snoop. That year, Dre and Snoop teased the possibility of heading on the road with the Tupac hologram. But, the vision was never actualized.

The new collection is slated to include a white t-shirt with a photo of the Supreme-wearing hologram with a reported landing date sometime this week.

The new drop arrives in conjunction with new merch coming from Shakur's estate this month as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of his Me Against The World album. That collection features vinyl copies of Tupac's third studio album, recorded and released while he was still incarcerated, three different graphic T-shirt designs, and a pullover hoodie which all feature the album's tracklist on the back. 

Roddy Ricch has returned to what’s been proving to be his rightful place atop the charts lately. 

This week, the Compton rapper’s Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial debut album is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the fourth nonconsecutive week after earning 79,000 equivalent album units. The project first debuted at No. 1 on December 21st. taking a leave of absence fromthe top spot a few times to make room for a few other debuts, only to return to No. 1 three more times. In its 10 weeks on the chart, the lowest the album has gone has been to No. 4.

At No. 2, Post Malone‘s Hollywood’s Bleeding climbs from No. 5 with 52,000 equivalent album units followed by Eminem‘s Music To Be Murdered By at No. 3 with 51,000 total. Debuting at No.4 this week is Green Day, who collect their 11th top 10 album with Father of All… earning 48,000 equivalent album units with 42,000 being pure album sales, boosted by a merchandise/album bundle sale from the band.

Rounding out the top 5 of the chart is Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? which clocks 45,000 equivalent album units while Lil Wayne‘s Funeral make a large jump from No. 1 to No. 6 in its second week with 44,000 units.

The next debut of the week is awarded to Pop Smoke whose Meet The Woo V.2 marks his first visit to the top 10 on the chart as the project earns 36,000 equivalent album units with streaming accounting heavily toward the tally with 31,000 SEA units taking up the number.

The remainder of the top is hosted by Halsey’s Manic at No. 8 with 34,000 unis, Dabby’s KIRK at No.9 with 32,000 units and Taylor Swift‘s Lover at No. 10 with 31,000 total units.

Naomi Campbell has been one of the baddest women in both the modelling industry and the world at large for decades and she is committed to keeping it that way. She continues to broadcast reminders that there is no age limit for when you're allowed to feel yourself. At 49 years old, she's still strutting down runways, slaying photoshoots and breaking Instagram with nude selfies. 

Campbell celebrated #SelfieSunday by sharing a topless photo of herself live from her bed. She placed a shining star emoji over her nipple to bypass IG's community guidelines, but considering how ridiculously strict the app tends to be about female nudity, there's a chance that this post still gets removed. In any case, it's not like this is the first time the icon has posed nude for a camera. She is finally serving as the face of Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2020 campaign after having first established a relationship with the designer 33 years ago. One of the photographs for the campaign shows Campbell dressed in nothing but an elaborate chapeau and a pair of heels. 

More proof that Campbell remains a "cultural innovator", as her IG bio declares, is that she just opened Tommy Hilfiger's show at London Fashion Week. She looked commanding as always, dressed in a neon tracksuit. 

Kodak Black is giving his fans the opportunity to prove their loyalty to him, and in exchange, he’ll drop his next album from behind bars. After Kodak Black came through with his promise to drop a Valentine’s Day anthem, fans got to see a more vulnerable side to him on “Because Of You.” Since Kodak’s been locked up, he’s been able to offer sporadic updates about his experiences behind bars, and they have not often been positive. It seems like Kodak really needs a win, as he took to Instagram on Saturday to make a deal with his fans regarding the romantic single.

Sharing a clip from the track’s accompanying visuals, Kodak wrote, “If This Go Platinum B4 My Birthday Ima Drop A Album.” However, he explained, if his supporters do not succeed in making this happen, “Ya’ll Gotta Wait Till I Come Home #Truly.” While Kodak’s birthday, which falls on June 11th, is still nearly four months away, his fans better get to streaming if they want to hear what he’s been cooking up in prison. However, on the unfortunate chance that the single fails to go platinum, it’s uncertain when exactly the album will drop, due to the tentative nature of Kodak’s release date.

Kodak’s current release date is scheduled for August 14th, 2022; however, after the recent news that he’s filed to appeal his sentence on the grounds that the improper guidelines were used to prepare his lengthy sentence, he may be getting out much earlier. This causes the status of his release to be somewhat up in the air at the moment, but regardless, if “Because Of You” does go platinum by June 11th, fans will get to hear a whole body of work from Kodak sooner rather than later.

Upon its release, Disney’s live-action retelling of Aladdin quickly became one of Disney’s highest-grossing properties of the year. Case in point, the Guy Ritchie-helmed, Will Smith-starring take on the 1992 original clocked in a total of 1.051 billion dollars at the box-office; a haul worthy of the Cave Of Wonders. Naturally, it didn’t take long for a sequel to bein production, with Deadline reporting that John Gatins (Flight) and Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton) have been tasked with scriptwriting duties. Other than that, details surrounding returning cast remain unclear.

Naturally, fans of the Aladdin franchise will no doubt look to fan-favorite sequels Return Of Jafar and The King Of Thieves, the latter of which found Robin Williams reprising his role as The Genie. Should they be so inclined, there’s plenty of source material to draw from. Whatever direction they happen to take, all signs point to another major haul for the house of mouse, who seem deadset on remaking the majority of their golden-era animated classics. 

While Aladdin received mixed reviews from critics, many found enjoyment on the basis of nostalgia alone. Will it be enough to keep a sequel afloat? Or more importantly, how many dump trucks full of money are set to roll up to the Smith estate?

Nike has been adding bubble wrap aesthetic to some of its Air Max models recently and now, the Nike Air Max 98 is about to get that very same treatment. Now, you may be asking: is this bubble wrap actually poppable. Unfortunately, the answer is no but it still manages to look pretty interesting. 

As you can see in the official images below, the shoe has a purple and blue upper while patches of bubbles are placed on the back heel, toe box, and side panels right above the midsole. Overall, it’s a pretty out of the ordinary look that will certainly draw the eyes of sneakerheads who are looking for something a little different. Not to mention, the colors are perfect for the warmer months so be sure to consider these when you go sneaker shopping for your spring wardrobe.

According to Sneaker News, this sneaker will be releasing within the coming weeks so definitely be on the lookout. In the meantime, let us know in the comments below what you think and whether or not you would ever rock these.
