STEEL PANTHER Has Eight Or Nine New Songs Written; Band Mulls 2021 EP Release
STEEL PANTHER drummer Stix Zadinia says that the band has been using the coronavirus downtime to work on new music. “Satchel [guitar] has been on a writing tear,” Stix tells “Dr Gong’s Drumcast” in a new interview. “He’s writing these great songs. I wish I could even tell you the titles — they’re so good.” According to Stix, he and his bandmates are discussing the possibility of releasing an EP next time around instead of a full record. “We’ve done five full-length records,” he said. “We’re talking about doing EP, ’cause we can do that quicker. And then we can put out another EP sooner. Instead of waiting so long between putting something out, we can do it in a shorter span of time. And I also feel li...

STRYPER’s MICHAEL SWEET Defends GIANTS Pitcher For Refusing To Kneel During ‘Black Lives Matter’ Moment Because Of Faith
Michael Sweet of openly Christian rockers STRYPER has defended San Francisco Giants pitcher Sam Coonrod for citing his religion as a decision not to kneel during a moment honoring the “Black Lives Matter” movement ahead of the season opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Coonrod was the only player to stand during a demonstration before last night’s opening slate of games to make a statement about inequality. After the game, Coonrod was asked by reporters about being the lone player who stood for both the demonstration and the national anthem. “I don’t think I’m better than anybody. I’m just a Christian,” he told reporters. “I believe I can’t kneel before anything but God, Jesus Christ. I chose not to kneel. I feel if I did knee...
Colonizer Down: Mayor Lori Lightfoot Pressured To Remove Christopher Columbus Statues In Chicago
Source: DEREK R. HENKLE / Getty Mayor Lori Lightfoot ordered crews to temporarily remove statues of Christopher Columbus from Grant and Arrigo parks in Chicago to thwart hostile confrontations between protestors and police. Since July 18, protesters tried to forcefully remove a tarp-covered statue in Grant Park, sparking a violent clash with Chicago police. The demonstration initially started at Buckingham Fountain to protest defunding the police, but quickly turned hostile as the crowd grew. Activists staged a protest in front of Lightfoot’s home overnight. As a result, the shook Mayor buckled to pressure and immediately ordered the removal of the controversial statue in Little Italy hours later. And just like that – by the cover of darkness – Chicago’s Colum...
The Caucasity: Patrolling Patty Tries To Block Black Man From Making Postmates Delivery
Source: @jordanmykelgipson / Instagram A white woman in Los Angeles is being dragged online after a video of her attempting to stop a Black man from doing his job has gone viral. On Wednesday (Jul 22), Jordan Gipson took to Instagram to upload a video of the negative encounter he had with an unidentified white woman with the video starting with the eccentric, aggressive, and nosey, woman asking why Gipson is wearing “that green thing,” referring to his protective face covering. “Is this a hold-up or something?” She asks. “Just take it off.” “I have food I have to deliver to somebody ma’am,” Gipson explains, to which the woman replies, “Don’t deliver anything here. We don’t want you delivering. I don’t want you here.” Although Gipson initially uploaded a snippet of his encounter, he later u...

Gillie Da Kid Threatens To Drop Footage Of Joe Budden Catching Wu-Tang Fade [Video]
Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty The e-beef continues to escalate between Joe Budden and Gillie Da Kid. One of the former’s most embarrassing moments might get revisited for the world to see. The spark, this time, was over that time Gillie Da Kid went All Lives Matter. Note, it turns out that was a four-year-old clip of Gillie. Nevertheless, Budden and co. commented on it. [embedded content] As spotted on HipHopDX the Philadelphia MC shot back at Joe on the newest installment of his Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. On episode 70 he addressed him directly with a very clear threat of putting him on blast. “You keep talking sh*t ni*** and the next episode I’m putting it the f*** out,” Gillie said. “They walked in because you was talking crazy about them ni****. And then a ni*** ...

Source: Black Soprano Family / BSF It’s been more than a decade since HBO’s hit series The Sopranos went off the air with a disappointing and lackluster series finale episode, but it seems like it’s still resonating with some heads as today as The Black Soprano Family look to pick up where Tony left off. Linking up with Benny The Butcher, Heem, Rick Hyde and DJ Drama for the black-and-white clip to “It’s Over,” the Black Soprano Family and company get in character with some OG mobster attire and Tommy guns on their persons while flossing ice that the likes of Al Capon and Lucky Lucciano would’ve only dreamt of. Elsewhere Gunna and Young Thug turn a lilly white neighborhood upside down as they get turnt up and show their neighbors how to really get down in their clip to “Dollaz On My Head.”...
Mel Gibson Was Hospitalized with Coronavirus in April
Actor, director, and notorious bigot Mel Gibson contracted the novel coronavirus in April. The 64-year-old’s illness was severe enough to require a week in a Los Angeles hospital, although he has since recovered. Gibson is the latest celebrity to admit to suffering from COVID-19, joining the ranks of Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, Pink, Universal Music head Lucian Grainge, and actress Olga Kurylenko. Australia’s The Daily Telegraph broke the news, and Gibson’s representatives confirmed the story with PEOPLE. In a statement, his camp said that he had been treated with the antiviral drug remdesivir, explaining, “He tested positive in April and spent a week in the hospital. He was treated with the drug remdesivir, while in the hospital, and has t...
Billie Eilish Announces New Single “my future”, Due Out Next Week
Billie Eilish is closing out the month with a special summer treat for her fans. Our 2018 Rookie of the Year has announced that she will release a new single called “my future” next week on July 31st. The track marks her first new music since “No Time to Die”, her James Bond theme song from February, which somehow feels like a lifetime ago. It also follows her 2019 offering “everything i wanted”. It’s unclear whether “my future” is a standalone release or taken from a larger project. We haven’t heard much in the way of a new record, the follow-up to debut album WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, but it’s not as though the 18-year-old pop star has been idle. She and her father recently launched their own radio show on Apple Music, and Eilish performed a quarantine-style concert ...

The White House Lied About Paw Patrol Getting Cancelled
On Friday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed that the animated children’s show Paw Patrol has been put down, an unfortunate victim of liberal cancel culture run amok. For some small children, this would indeed be ruff rough news, but luckily for them, it’s a lie. The Nickelodeon show is about an elite group of search-and-rescue canines, and like the Village People, each pup has a different job. One works in construction zones, one is a firefighter, one specializes in underwater rescues, and yes, a lone German Shepard works as a police K-9. After George Floyd was brutally murdered by cops, some (mostly joking) Twitter users called for Paw Patrol to turn in its badge. This led to a relatively nuanced piece in the New York Times called “The Protests...
