Of Course Fox News Takes Issue With Eminem Taking A Knee At The Super Bowl
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Many people figured that the Hip-Hop led Super Bowl Halftime Show was bound to rub conservatives and Trumpians the wrong way, one way or another. But when Eminem took a knee on stage (whether to pay homage to Tupac or Colin Kaepernick), y’all just knew the far-right was going to flip their MAGA lids. During a Fox News segment led by anchor Joe Concha, he discussed the “controversial” moment at the Super Bowl Halftime Show with an all-female panel and after taking a few shots at Colin Kaepernick, Concha asserted that Eminem shouldn’t have taken the stage if he planned on taking a knee the whole time. “If he truly wanted to be courageous here, he could’ve protested by not performing at the halftime show at all,” Concha said. “Instead h...
Donald Trump Told Governor That Mike Tyson Thought Robin Givens Was Sleeping With Him, Authors Say

Hell, maybe she already knew the unhinged and paranoid ex she was married to for just over a year was wilding with thoughts of her sharing a bed with Jabba the White Supremacist, but even the thought of it has to still at least tickle her gag reflex. We’re not talking about Michael Jordan here, after all—we’re talking about the gross guy who used to get natural Cheeto booty crust flavoring all over the Oval Office furniture. Anyway, in case y...

The Music In Coinbase’s Viral Super Bowl Ad Was Produced By Com Truise and Samples The Beatles
Coinbase’s viral Super Bowl advertisement was a hit. For Coinbase, it was a hit to their servers. The commercial was simply a QR code that bounced around the screen like the classic DVD logo in the 90s. It was a simple and ingenious marketing strategy, and the traffic that Coinbase received during the ad’s 60-second run time temporarily crashed the company’s servers. But the music was also a hit. The track from the commercial was created by electronic music veteran Com Truise, who sampled the melody of a motown classic and produced an eerie chillwave song. “Money (That’s What I Want)” was originally written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford. Barrett Strong was the first artist to record and release the track in 1959 before The Beatles and The Kingsmen ea...
