Geddy Lee Cutout Takes In Toronto Blue Jays Game
A smiling cardboard cutout of Rush bassist/singer Geddy Lee joined other fans in the stands for a Toronto Blue Jays game at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York. The Blue Jays season ticket holder joins other rocking sports fans “attending” MLB games — including late Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul — whose cardboard doppelganger made an appearance at a Texas Rangers game this week. It’s not clear whether Lee himself was responsible for the cutout’s appearance in the States; the Blue Jays are playing in New York rather than their usual home in Toronto due to border-crossing health concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic. At the game, Lee wasn’t able to indulge in one of his hobbies due to his cardboard status: Lee is an avid collector of baseballs. His collection...

Kanye West Is Polling at Just 2% With Black Voters
Kanye West’s presidential campaign hasn’t made any inroads since a poll last month showed him polling at 2%. According to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, the rapper/mogul/presidential candidate is still only at 2% overall and only has 2% of the Black vote well. By comparison, the “No Opinion” option of the poll has 9%. The poll also shows that West isn’t having any impact on the race, as Joe Biden’s nine-point lead over President Donald Trump remains the same with or without West in the race. “I think a lot of people of color view Kanye’s bid for the presidency as a quixotic one, and they don’t see him as being legitimate for the office. It’s more of yet another Kanye publicity stunt,” Ron Christie, a Black Republican strategist and former aide to D...
Hit-Boy Named Executive Producer Of New Nas Album
Source: press handout / Hit-BOy Nas may be a GOAT rapper and MC, but if there’s one criticism that has dogged him throughout his career, it’s his sometimes suspect beat selection. Perhaps because of this, producer Hit-Boy has been announced as the executive producer of the Queens rapper’s forthcoming new project. View this post on Instagram 8.21 #HitBoyOnTheBeats A post shared by Nasir Jones (@nas) on Aug 10, 2020 at 10:00am PDT Per 2020 Hip-Hop protocol, the announcement was made via an Instagram post. Hit-Boy and Nas shared a trailer of themselves, and others, working on the album that is slated to drop very soon, as in next Friday, August 21. In the teaser, Nas can be heard saying, “I’ve been trying to do this with this man, for years,” referring to t...
Will Smith Appears To Catch Golf Club Fade To The Teefuses
Source: Will Smith / Instagram Will Smith has become a master of social media with a masterful stroke of self-deprecation despite his massive worldwide fame. Joining fellow social media star Jason Derulo on TikTok, the veteran actor and rapper caught a golf club fade to the teeth, which appears to be a mocking of Derulo’s mechanical corn on the cob incident. The video, which appears to be filmed inside Smith’s at-home production studio, shows Derulo getting a lesson in golfing from Smith. With the Fresh Prince standing in way too close, Derulo’s backswing decks Smith in the teeth and it looks like they went flying. Sharing the video to Instagram, Derulo comically tells Smith that he knows a good dentist, which is true after the singer knocked out his front teeth doing a s...

TED NUGENT: ‘NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION Is The Most Important Civil Rights Organization In The World’
Outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent has slammed the attorney general of New York for suing to to seek the dissolution of the National Rifle Association, alleging fraud and abuse in the way the NRA‘s chief executive and other officials ran the operation. New York State attorney general Letitia James‘s lawsuit specifically names the organization’s top brass as corrupt and inept, charges them with illegal conduct because of their diversion of millions of dollars away from the charitable mission of the organization for personal use by senior leadership, awarding contracts to the financial gain of close associates and family, and appearing to dole out lucrative no-show contracts to former employees in order to buy their silence and continued loyalty. An NRA board member, ...
