Pusha T Says He Doesn’t Think Kanye West & Drake Make Good Music Together
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Revolt / Revolt Pusha T may not have a bone to pick with Drake anymore as Drizzy and Kanye West have officially squashed their beef, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be biting his tongue when talking about his one-time rival. In a recent interview with Nore on Drink Champs, the It’s Almost Dry artist spoke on Kanye West and Drake and revealed that he doesn’t think the two make beautiful music together. When talking about Drizzy and Ye getting over their drama, Pusha said “I felt like it was good for them. They play an industry game. I feel like that’s gonna work for them and what they do,” but then took a little swipe at their union saying “I don’t even think they make good music together. That’s the wildest part. There ain’t even a hot record. Name it.” Relat...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty The fallout from the defamation lawsuit brought by Blac Chyna against the Kardashian-Jenner clan is still settling, and the reality show star claims that the judge in the case was biased against her from the beginning. According to reports, Blac Chyna has filed a peremptory challenge against the judge who presided over her lawsuit, Gregory W. Alarcon. The documents detailing the motion state claim that Alarcon “exhibited an ‘undeniably hostile and extremely biased’ attitude towards her and [her attorney] Ms. [Lynne] Ciani since April 19 and April 20, 2022.” The claim by Angela White, aka Blac Chyna, also states that the alleged bias had a significant impact on significant parts of the case which include “the jury making ‘key liability...
UK Bans Adidas Sports Bra Ads Because They Feature Exposed Breasts
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: adidas / adidas The UK has banned a series of Adidas sports bra ads because they feature bare breasts. Now if you’ve seen the ads, which show a photo array of exposed breasts, you know Adidas was going for a body positivity thing that also shows the diversity in shapes and sizes of women’s breasts. In 2022, this shouldn’t be a controversial thing, really, but the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority disagrees. From Business Insider: The ASA said it received 24 complaints about the campaign. Some said that the ads may have been “harmful and offensive” because they “objectified women by sexualizing them and reducing them to body parts,” per the ASA. Complainants also questioned whether the posters, which were displayed in public places, were appropriate for...
Mike Tyson Beats Charges For Slugging Unruly Plane Pest
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Al Bello / Getty Mike Tyson will not be charged by authorities after an incident on a flight where he punched an unruly passenger, which was caught on video. In a statement released to the press on Tuesday (May 10th), the San Mateo County (California) District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe said that his office will not seek charges against the former heavyweight champion. “We have reviewed the police reports of the San Francisco Police Department and the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office and have viewed the various videos collected by law enforcement from others on the airplane,” he began. Our decision is that we will not file any charges against Mr. Tyson based on the circumstances surrounding the confrontation. These include the conduct of the victim leadi...
Rob Zombie’s Walking Tour of Munsters Set Shows Off Authenticity of His Big-Screen Adaptation
Rob Zombie has been a stickler for detail while filming his big-screen adaption of the 1960s sitcom The Munsters, and it’s apparent how authentic the set is in a new walking tour conducted by the rocker-director himself. As previously reported, Zombie had the Munsters’ famous 1313 Mockingbird Lane mansion faithfully recreated on the film’s set in Budapest, Hungary, along with the surrounding homes in the movie’s suburban neighborhood. In a new video posted to his Instagram (see below), Zombie walks through the “neighborhood” on his way to 1313 Mockingbird Lane, with no one else on the set. Using either a Super 8 camera or a filter to give it a vintage look, the video looks like it’s straight out of the ’60s, and the set truly captures the vibe of the original TV show.

Young Thug, Racketeering, and RICO, Explained
Musical superstar Young Thug, his close associate Gunna, and 26 others have been charged with violating Georgia’s criminal racketeering laws. In a 56-count indictment, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis alleged that Thugger’s label Young Stoner Life Records acted as a criminal street gang with ties to the national Bloods organization. He was arrested on Monday, while Gunna was booked Wednesday morning. The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO Act, which was closely modeled on the federal RICO Act. To make those charges stick, the DA’s office will have to prove that Young Thug served as the head of a criminal enterprise whose illegal activities came as part of an organized scheme. RICO Acts are...
Nova Twins Unveil New Song “Puzzles” Ahead of Upcoming Album Supernova: Stream
Rising heavy pop duo Nova Twins have shared the new song “Puzzles” ahead of their upcoming sophomore album, Supernova, out June 17th. We’ve been following the steady ascent of Nova Twins here at Consequence, previously premiering the track “Cleopatra.” The duo of singer-guitarist Amy Love and bassist-singer Georgia South fuse pop, hip-hop, and heavy music with unprecedented infectiousness, “Puzzles” being the latest example. The overtly sexual song kicks off with sinister beats and acidic, crushed-out R&B vocals from Love. The chorus drop — complete with chugging metal riffs — is absolutely massive and fit for both the moshpit and dance floor alike.

Hacks Star Hannah Einbinder On Why Ava Doesn’t Do Standup
One of the best things about this era of television is how many different stories there are about complicated women, with Hacks standing out as the platonic ideal of this. The HBO Max comedy, which won multiple Emmys for its first season, returns for a second season this week, with world-famous comedy star Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) hitting the road with Ava (Hannah Einbinder), her writer/punching bag/adversary. The complicated relationship between the two women continues to drive the action this season, as both find themselves outside of their comfort zone and also caught up in a complex back-and-forth between love and hate. “Our writers have done such an amazing job of creating this world and taking it to places beyond our wildest dreams,” Einbinder tells Consequence about digging into t...
Danger Mouse and Black Thought’s New Collab Album ‘Cheat Codes’ to Feature MF DOOM, A$AP Rocky and More
Danger Mouse and Black Thought have finally officially announced their collaborative album, Cheat Codes. Set to release on August 12, the highly-anticipated joint will feature guest appearances from A$AP Rocky, Run The Jewels, MF DOOM, Michael Kiwanuka, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Raekwon, Conway the Machine, Kid Sister and Dylan Cartlidge. Cheat Codes is billed as “an album untethered to any genre, era or trend — uncategorizeable and timeless. It is the sound of the pair observing their own culture and asking questions they still may not have the answers to.” Danger Mouse and Black Thought also gave fans a first listen by dropping its lead single “No Gold Teeth.” In October 2020, Black Thought announced their collaborative effort initially entitled Dangerous Thoughts. Describing it ...
The Smile: A Light for Attracting Attention
From there, the album alternately combats the horrors of modern life with roiling anger and Zen-like serenity. It churns through an all-too-common cycle: see red, get fed up, take a few very deep breaths, do it all over again. A Light for Attracting Attention’s stiffest middle finger comes with “You Will Never Work in Television Again,” the most raucous Radiohead-related track since Hail to the Thief’s “2 + 2 = 5” nearly two decades ago. Armed with three distorted chords that could have filled CBGB in 1977, Yorke puts on his best sneer while standing up to a “gangster troll” who’s lording his power over an aspiring young woman. Given its explicit reference to former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” sex parties, this chivalrous salvo for the #MeToo era could very wel...
