HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Universal Pictures / Universal Hip-Hop culture is immensely global, and a new documentary that highlights the first-ever Hip-Hop label in New Zealand will make its U.S. debut online next week.

Antonio Brown Explains Why He Left Tampa Bay Buccaneers Game

Kanye West & His Work Boots Will Reportedly Headline Coachella 2022
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gotham / Getty Coachella reportedly has found its third headliner, and it’s none other than Kanye West.

Freddie Gibbs Calls Gunna A Snitch During Back-And-Forth Twitter Spat
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jim Bennett / Getty Am I getting old or are rap beefs getting really weird? Clearly, the answer is…yes. On Wednesday, Atlanta rapper Gunna took to Twitter to promote his new album Drip Season 4, according to XXL, and to (I guess?) take a shot at Gary, Indiana, MC Freddie Gibbs. “When my album drop Freddie Gibbs will [have] the biggest moment of his career,” Gunna tweeted. No one seems to be clear on what Gunna was trying to say about Gibbs, but Gibbs did respond…at length. At one point, I wasn’t sure if Gunna and Gibbs were beefing or having a bromance moment. But then Gibbs brought out the big Twitter finger guns and accused Gunna of making an appearance on Crime Stoppers, an act Gibbs had previously said would make anyone an entire snitch. Gibbs then po...
