Or both. “I wanted this song to feel playful though, because I was honestly laughing while I wrote that chorus lyric: ‘mom and dad we love em, either fuck em or become em,” she continued. “There are patterns in our lives and in our families that we can e...

Kanye West’s Yeezy Gap Line Officially Unveils Its First Piece
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Yeezy Gap / Gap After months of anticipation, the Yeezy Gap collaboration is here and it’s, well, interesting. The first release from the long-awaited collection is a sky blue down “Round Jacket” that Yeezy’s been seen rocking as of late in Los Angeles. The Pre-order for the new jacket went live earlier this morning and fans looking to get themselves one paid a modest $200 on Gap.com/yeezy.

It’s almost like if you copped those kicks you have to get the jacket to match. The apparently zipper-less outerwear is also made out of recycled ...

Nightbirde (her real name is Jane) has a 2% chance of beating it. “It’s important that everyone knows I’m so much more than the bad things that happened to me,” she explained.
