HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Olson / Getty Nobody: Nobody in Haiti: Related Stories Nobody across the diaspora: Y’all’s ex-president: “AIDS! THEY ALL HAVE AIDS!! HAITIANS WILL COME HERE FROM THEIR S**THOLE COUNTRY AND GIVE US ALL AIDS!!! THEY WANT TO MAKE AIDS GREAT AGAIN!!!” My God—white, conservative, Bigots R Us America knew exactly what it was doing when it elected our 45th president, and losing his bid for re-election appears to have only made him more bitter and more outwardly racist and xenophobic (if that’s even possible.) On Thursday (Oct. 7), Donald Trump made an appearance on Republican spank bank network Fox News and sat down with Satan’s third testicle, Sean Hannity, where the two discussed the Haitian immigration crisis.

F*ck Christopher Columbus: Twitter Celebrates Indigenous Peoples’ Day #IndigenousPeoplesDay
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Erik McGregor / Getty Since 1992, Indigenous Peoples’ Day has been celebrated in stark opposition to the United States federal holiday, Christopher Columbus Day, lambasting the Italian explorer’s so-called discovery of the Americas. President Joe Biden is the first U.S. president to formally recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and many on Twitter are joined in a virtual celebration. According to the Wikipedia entry on the holiday, the holiday was first adopted in 1989 in South Dakota as Native American Day. Since the term “Native American” doesn’t encompass all indigenous peoples, Berkeley, Calif. adopted the day as it is known today in 1992 with Santa Cruz, Calif. adopting it two years later. Some two decades later, three other cities, Grand Rapids,...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jim Dyson / Getty Can Jorja Smith sing? An old clip resurfacing on Twitter sparked a debate if the singer can indeed hold a note. On Twitter, old videos, for whatever reason, seem to pop back up, and they usually cause some discourse on the social media medium. Case in point, a video of Jorja Smith performing an interesting rendition of TLC’s smash hit “No Scrubs” in 2018 hit timelines and has sparked a debate about her singing skills, or lack thereof.

People have been pointing out on Twitter that Smith’s singing style is commonly adopted by modern-day singers/pop stars and has become the style that in...

Netflix CEO Says Dave Chappelle’s Special Doesn’t Cross “The Line on Hate” in Internal Memo
Last week, Dave Chappelle drew backlash for continuing his pattern of making derogatory jokes about transgender people in his Netflix special The Closer, but for now the streamer’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos is standing by his cash cow. In an internal memo obtained by Variety, Sarandos vowed not to pull the special from Netflix, citing creative freedom. He also stated that the stand-up special doesn’t cross the company’s “line on hate” and delineated the “different standard of speech” that applies to stand-up compared to what is allowed internally. “Chapelle is one of the most popular stand-up comedians today, and we have a long standing deal with him,” wrote Sarandos. “His last special Sticks & Stones, also controversial, is our most watched, stickiest, and most award winning stand-up s...

James Blake Reunites with slowthai for “Funeral” Remix: Stream
James Blake has recruited slowthai for a remix of “Funeral,” a track from Blake’s newly released fifth studio album, Friends That Break Your Heart. In this new version, Blake’s second verse is substituted with a restrained feature from the UK rapper. “I never been one for horror movies,” slowthai spits. “I fall asleep under your tongue, I hope you choose me/ The shadow silhouetting the sun, I’m glued to your feet/ I live in the shadows of, mmm, under the loose leaves.” Otherwise, the remix remains largely unchanged from the original. To accompany the reworked track, Blake shared a black-and-white music video capturing the somber tone of “Funeral.” Watch the full clip below ahead of the duo’s debut performance of the song on the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airing on Mo...

Elderbrook Explores Life, Love and Longing on New EP, “Innerlight”: Listen
“You want to dance. I want to lead,” croons dance-electronica virtuoso Elderbrook at the top of his new EP, Innerlight. The lyric couldn’t be more fitting. Out October 9th via Big Beat Records, Innerlight is a four-track whirlwind of hypnotic synths, house-adjacent ballads and atmospheric dance breaks. At its best, it’s a refined level-up from Elderbrook’s signature brand of euphoric dance-pop, leaning into layered song structures that move beyond his leading vocal lines. The project’s titular single with Bob Moses, for example, twists and turns with anticipative piano builds and weighty bass beats across its moody soundscape. “Dominoes” (with Louis the Child) glows with muted synth tones and a textured percussion line while &#...
