Pete Davidson Delivers Hilarious “Walking in Staten” Parody on SNL: Watch
The King of Staten Island has struck again. On last night’s Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson sent up a loving parody of his hometown with a little help from a few friends.

The clip also included appearances from Big Wet, Method Man, and local Staten Island fixture Chris the Hobby Guy — not to mention the rather alarming amount of wild turkeys outside the Staten Island University Hospital. “And I’m walking in Staten/ This place is the reason I turned out weird/ Walking in Staten/ And thanks to New Jersey, we now have deer/ Walking in Staten/ Where everybody’s dreams go right down the drain/ Walking in Staten/ Babies here are born wi...

Struggle Rapper Kid Rock Makes Anti-Woke Song, Twitter Slanders MAGA Goofball
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Pool / Gettynews Apparently, struggle rapper du jour Kid Rock is still making music. His latest song is some anti-woke nonsense, and Twitter is slandering the goofball accordingly.

Real Hip-Hop heads give absolutely no f*cks about Kid Rock, so he’s been relegated to the backwaters of MAGA-land and people who don’t know any better. So here we are, and Kid Rock has reportedly created a song with themes of anti-wokeness and anti-cancel culture. Reports TMZ: It’s an interesting tune — and definitely NOT subtle whatsoever in the message KR is trying to communicate … namely, his apparen...
