What Exactly Is “Red Covid”?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Andrew Lichtenstein / Getty As the COVID-19 pandemic is in its third year in the United States, an unfortunate reason it has stuck around so long has been due to those engaging in partisan politics debating its existence and refusing to take the vaccines and other measures. Now that divide is represented in a new phenomenon – “red Covid”. In a detailed report from the New York Times, there is a noticeable disparity between those who identify as Republican voters and those who identify as Democrat voters who opted to get the COVID-19 vaccination shots. This gap, which at one point in a poll last October showed that 86 percent of Democratic voters got at least one shot as opposed to 60 percent of Republican voters, seems to be narrowing but only slightly. A...
George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards Anthology Coming to Marvel Comics
Decades before he was a famous author desperate to do anything at all except write The Winds of Winter, George R.R. Martin edited the superhero anthology series Wild Cards. Now, as The Hollywood Reporter notes, those stories are coming to Marvel Comics. The Wild Cards series is set in an alternate Earth riddled with the alien Wild Card virus. Most die, or “draw the black queen,” and of the survivors, many become deformed, or “jokers.” However, a small number of virus survivors are “aces,” gaining superpowers that they can use for good or evil. “As my fans may already know, the Wild Cards World holds a special place in my heart,” Martin said. “So to have the privilege of announcing that an industry titan like Marvel is going to produce the narrative from the be...

Nigo has shared another new song from his upcoming album I Know NIGO, and this time, Kid Cudi is the MC to the fashion designer’s club beat. Check out the duo’s collaboration “Want It Bad” below. Produced by Pharrell Williams, “Want It Bad” sees an über-autotuned Cudi proclaim his desires Veruca Salt-style over moody synths. “I want to sleep good at night/ I want a temple, that’s right,” he sings, as bass pulses. “I’m finally on the up and up/ Can not stop, can’t have enough,” he insists. In the accompanying music video, directed by Harrison Boyce, the duo speed through the streets of Paris in a fancy Porsche before hitting the club. While Nigo maintains a silent background role in the clip, Cudi hams it up, red hair and black eyeshadow putting other wannabe punk rappers to shame. Advertis...
Liam Gallagher Sides with Taylor Swift in Damon Albarn Feud: “All Them Fucking Gorilla Albums Are Co-Writes, Aren’t They?”
Last month, Damon Albarn picked a fight with Taylor Swift over songwriting, and now Liam Gallagher, who as we all know cannot resist an opportunity to stoke a fire, is doing just that. In case you need a quick refresher, the Gorillaz co-founder kicked off the drama when he falsely claimed Swift “doesn’t write her own songs” in an interview with The New York Times, prompting the superstar to fire back, “I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don’t have to like my songs but it’s really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.” As part of his argument, Albarn held that there’s a distinction between being the sole writer on a track and co-writing with other artists — both of which Swift has done...

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers and co-showrunner...
