HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Twitter / Twitter First, let’s just acknowledge the fact that Black people were pretty much split in our reactions to Juneteenth becoming an official federal holiday last year. While many of us were excited that this thing that had been part of the culture for decades had finally been recognized nationally for the first time, there were those of us who were immediately reminded of what happens to culturally Black things once they’re Columbused by the white majority—those culturally Black things get swept up swiftly into the “it’s all of our culture now, we’ll just keep it at my house” world of whiteness. (See Black slang, Black vernacular, Tik Tok dances, virtually every popular American music genre and, currently, the word “woke.”) That second set of Bla...
The influence of basketball culture on designer and Just Don founder Don C‘s creative pursuits is as strong as his roots in his native Chicago. While that connection is obvious in roles like serving as Creative Strategy and Design Advisor for the Chicago Bulls, it also comes through in NBA 2K22, in which his real life designs are available to wear in the virtual world. “Pretty much everything I do is inspired by basketball culture,” says Don. Like the game itself, he’s a true force operating at the intersection of sports and style. With the release of NBA 2K22, Don C reflects on his relationship with basketball and fashion, and the inseparable dynamic of both in pop culture — a phenomenon that the NBA 2K franchise has tapped into since its inception.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Sony had requested that developers create time-limited demos for its revamped PlayStation Plus service. Launching on June 13, the Game Pass alternative will already offer top-tier subscribers more than 700 titles, but it seems that Sony wanted to entice new subscribers with longer, exclusive demos. Per this policy, Sony asked developers to release free demos for games that cost over $34 USD. The company shared the news through its internal developer portal, but not as an official announcement to third-party partners, Kotaku reported. The demos would have to be at least two-hours long, shared within three months of the game’s launch, and available to players for at least a year. Now, it appears that Sony will shoulder the work of creating the demos, u...
