HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ivy Park / adidas Jay-Z is living his rhymes from “What’s Free” by wearing whatever he wants to wear regardless of his Puma deal.

Samsung Is Ahead of The Curve In The Foldable Market Thanks To The Galaxy Z Fold2 & Galaxy Z Flip
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Samsung took a very bold step when it went all-in on the foldable phone, dropping three devices, and slowly but surely, it’s starting to pay off. When Samsung first introduced its bold new device, the Galaxy Fold, in 2019, people were impressed but on the side of skepticism and understandably so. The first Galaxy Fold served as Samsung’s testing phase for a phablet (phone/tablet) and a teachable moment. While it was impressive that Samsung could bring the Galaxy Fold to fruition, there were some issues that the company rectified with the Galaxy Z Fold2 and its smaller companion, the Galaxy Z Flip.

Lorde’s Poetic Mind Shines on ‘Stoned at the Nail Salon’
Following the scratchy, summertime lead single, “Solar,” Lorde has released “Stoned at the Nail Salon,” an elegantly written, FOMO-laced, quarter-life-crisis ballad that could sit on the same shelf as Lana Del Rey or W.B. Yeats. “Got a wishbone drying on the windowsill in my kitchen/ Just in case I wake up and realize I’ve chosen wrong.” And that’s just the first line. The New Zealand singer-songwriter said she used the song as a “dumping ground” for uncomfortable thoughts and images about getting older. “[It’s] a sort of a rumination … on settling into domesticity, and questioning if you’ve made the right decisions,” Lorde said. “I think lots of people start asking those questions of themselves around my age, and it was super comforting to me writing them down, hoping they’d resonate with...
Guns N’ Roses Have an Official Line of Bongs and Smoking Accessories
Axl Rose has hit some pretty amazing high notes during his career, but now Guns N’ Roses are offering up a new kind of high. The legendary band has its own line of bongs and smoking accessories.

The two glass bongs feature artwork from the band’s iconic debut album, Appetite for Destruction.

Eric Clapton Won’t Perform for “Discriminated” Audiences Where Vaccination Is Required
Eric Clapton had a brilliant run in the 1960s and ‘70s, but ever since that anti-immigrant screed in 1976, the famed guitarist has become less notable for the movement of his fingers and more infamous for the farts coming out of his mouth. In his latest gaseous expulsion, Mr. Slowbrainhand once again came to the defense of anti-vaxxers, saying he won’t play in front of “discriminated” audiences that have been fully inoculated against COVID-19. The pronouncement came after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that, by the end of September, “We are planning to make full [COVID-19] vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather.” He’s talking about a kind of vaccine passport, which doesn’t sound so bad if you’re a person who trusts the scienti...
