Laura Nyro Documentary in the Works
Vistas Media Capital has announced plans for a new documentary about Laura Nyro, the late singer-songwriter, activist, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The as-yet-untitled film will be produced by Ben Waisbren (300, The Equalizer, Blood Diamond) and music producer Bonnie Greenberg (RBG), with Laura’s son Gil Bianchini serving as an associate producer, reports Deadline. A director has yet to be announced for the documentary. “I was first attracted to Laura Nyro’s music and life story by what David Geffen so poignantly said about her in Susan Lacy’s 2010 feature film Inventing David Geffen,” Waisbren said in a statement. “Her lyrics touched and galvanized a generation of women—words that have resonance today.” At age 19, Laura Nyro made a name for herself at the 1967 Monterey Pop F...
Elon Musk Calls Donald Trump’s Twitter Ban A “Mistake” & Wants To Reverse It, Jack Dorsey Agrees
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Twitter’s future owner Elon Musk (we hope not), finally said the quiet part out loud regarding the return of the twice impeached President Donald Trump to the platform. The moment bootleg Tony Stark aka Elon Musk, decided to make his move to purchase Twitter, MAGA land immediately dubbed him the savior of their lord and savior, Donald Trump’s banned Twitter account. Speaking at the Financial Times’ Future of the Car conference, Musk finally gave Trump’s loyal fans the red meat they have been waiting to consume.

HHW Gaming: ‘Street Fighter’ Fans React To The News Fei Long Allegedly Being Removed From Future Games
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Capcom / Ultra Street Fighter IV Is Fei Long’s run in Street Fighter coming to an end? That might be the unfortunate case. Fei Long, a character that obviously gets his inspiration from the iconic martial arts movie star Bruce Lee, quickly became a favorite among fighting game fans when he was first introduced in Super Street Fighter II. Nintendo Life reports that Fei Long’s time as a playable character in the Street Fighter game has ended. Like Bruce Lee, Fei Long was a martial artist and action star and was Capcom’s tribute to the late actor, but apparently, the Lee family has done a 360 when it comes to seeing non-serious depictions of Bruce Lee. Street Fighter V composer Daniel Lindholm revealed during a YouTube Q&A that “comedic interpretat...
Illadelph Lap Dance?: Questlove Says The Roots Were Discovered At A Philadelphia Strip Club
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rich Schultz / Getty Listen: I’ve been an avid fan of The Roots since the release of the band’s fourth album Things Fall Apart. I’ve since made purchases on their whole 14-album catalog, attended three of their live shows and have even made an honest attempt at regularly watching Jimmy Fallon’s late-night show since they are the house band. I thought I knew everything about The Roots—until Questlove revealed that they were discovered after performing at a strip club. According to Page Six, the drummer and recent Oscar winner recalled during an episode of Luminary podcast Til This Day with Radio Rahim that prior to the 1993 debut band’s first album, Organix, the band found most of its success through the “Ivy league route, playing college frat parties...
L’s On Deck: The Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1 Slated To Drop This Month
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke With the anger of the Astroworld tragedy having subsided and people moving on from the horrible events that claimed the lives of 10 people and apparently opened a portal to hell (it did not), Nike will finally be moving forward with the release of the highly-anticipated Travis Scott Air Max 1’s that were supposed to have dropped last December. Hypebeast is reporting that the long-awaited sneaker collaboration will finally be seeing the light of day later this month when Nike drops not only the Travis Scott Air Max 1’s in a few different colorways (“Baroque Brown,” and Saturn Gold” ), but also some “Cactus Jack” Air Trainer 1’s in three color schemes including “Wheat,” “Cave Stone,” and “Grey Haze.” Defining features include Bohemian-patte...
Madonna Gives Birth to Trees and Butterflies in Fully Nude NFTs
Madonna has jumped on the NFT bandwagon, and much like her career in pop music, she’s not afraid to, uh, push boundaries. The musician teamed up with digital artist Beeple to create the charity-benefitting, very NSFW collection “Mother of Creation,” which depicts a fully nude Madge giving birth to trees, butterflies, and other insects. According to Madonna, the “Mother of Creation” trifecta is meant to draw a connection between the ways people create life and the ways people create art. “I wanted to investigate the concept of creation, not only the way a child enters the world through a woman’s vagina, but also the way an artist gives birth to creativity,” the artist explained in a statement. The collection offers three, minute-long videos of a digitized Madonna, where those aforementioned...
