It Begins: ‘Newsweek’ Wastes No Time Running Racist Birtherism Op-Ed About Kamala Harris Citizenship
Source: The Washington Post / Getty It’s only been a day since Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his choice for vice president, and the racists are already hard at work trying to throw mud on her name. Newsweek’s credibility as of late has been sketchy and understandably so. The once-respected publication has become a breeding ground for far-right nonsense ran an op-ed just hours after Biden’s announcement about Senator Kamala Harris claiming that she’s not even a United States citizen. What makes op-ed even more suspect is that it was written by John Eastman, who ran against her. He also wrote the same kind of article, making the exact opposite argument in favor of Ted Cruz. Immediately after the Josh Hammer, the opinion editor for Newsweek hit the publish butto...
Ruff Ryders Founders Dee & Wah Reveal JAY-Z Cleared DMX’s $12M Debt At Def Jam
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz For those that didn’t know, JAY-Z and DMX didn’t really see eye to with one another despite always putting out great records together, but that didn’t stop Jigga from a tremendous solid for Dark Man X. Speaking with The Breakfast Club ahead of the premiere of Ruff Ryder’s Chronicles on BET documentary, founders of the iconic Hip-Hop stable Dee, Wah, and Chivon Dean broke down why the two Hip-Hop legends had beef in the first place. “What had happened was Jay-Z called X and told him, ‘The inmates have took over the prison.’ And when your man Jay-Z got in position, X felt like he didn’t honor him and hold weight like he was supposed to.” They go on to further explain that it was the massive egos of ...

They’ll Probably Never Make A ‘Midnight Sun’ Movie, But We’ve Dreamt Up the Soundtrack Just in Case
By now, you’ve had a little over a week to dive into Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun, the long-awaited companion novel to 2005’s Twilight. And if you’re like us, then you’re already foaming at the mouth for a feature film starring everyone’s favorite sparkling vampires. The Twilight franchise is also known for its stellar soundtracks, which, after the first film, featured all-original songs recorded just for the movies. Like the Twilight soundtrack, it stands to reason that a Midnight Sun soundtrack could feature a combination of existing and original songs, so we’ve imagined what that could look like. Also, while series stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been outspoken about their distaste for the films over the years, we will remind you that Pattinson seems to hav...

RZA Whipped Up a New Ice Cream Truck Jingle With Good Humor to Toss Out the Old Racist One
RZA came up with the ingredients for a new ice cream truck jingle that isn’t spoiled with a racist past. The Wu-Tang Clan mastermind teamed up with Good Humor, the century-old ice cream company that brought us the original ice cream truck, strawberry shortcake bar, chocolate-coated ice cream on a stick and more goodies, for a musical treat with a trap flare to it. The company chose to ring in its centennial anniversary this year with a different sound, one that ensures “ice cream trucks across the country continue to spread joy to everyone for the next 100 years,” according to Good Humor’s website. “We come to find out that it has racist roots,” the rapper-producer said in a video explaining the story behind the revamped ice cream truck instrumental. ...

Mark Kozelek Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Three Women
Mark Kozelek has been accused by three women of sexual misconduct, according to an investigative piece published by Pitchfork today. Sarah Catherine Golden, a mental health specialist, told Pitchfork that she met the Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters singer on a flight to Portugal. She was then allegedly invited to his show, and after the gig, accompanied him to his hotel, where instead of the expected party/hangout, she was alone with him in his room. Pitchfork reports that Golden declined Kozelek’s invitation to spend the night. She asked him to call her a cab, and he did so. But she allegedly recounted later to friends via text, “He started kissing me and simultaneously was somehow naked and hard and jerking off.” Golden didn’t report the incident to Portuguese police, but...
