<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-27T18:01:12+00:00“>April 27, 2021 | 2:01pm ET Two years after releasing their most recent album, End of Suffering, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes are back with the new single “My Town”. The song features guest vocals from Joe Talbot of fellow UK punk act IDLES. The album cycle for End of Suffering didn’t quite go as planned for Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. Carter was involved in a serious car accident in the fall of 2019, forcing the band to postpone their North American tour. And then, like every other music act, they were forced off the road in 2020 due to the pandemic, but did perform a “By Request” livestream show in November. “‘My Town’ is a bruising metaphor fo...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-27T22:19:07+00:00“>April 27, 2021 | 6:19pm ET Throughout the legal legal battle over her conservatorship, Britney Spears has stayed mostly silent, offering only cryptic messages through social media or choosing to speak through her lawyer. That’ll soon change, however, as a judge has approved Spears’ request to address the court in person about the status of her conservatorship. The hearing is scheduled for June 23rd at 1:30 p.m. PT. “My client has requested a hearing at which she can address the court directly,” the singer’s lawyer Samuel Ingham told the court on Tuesday (via Reuters). “My client has asked that it be done on an expedited basis.” Ingham did not indicate what...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-28T02:03:57+00:00“>April 27, 2021 | 10:03pm ET Ever since Citizen Kane came out in 1941, it’s been hailed as the greatest movie of all time by countless film organizations, and that ranking is still widely upheld to this day. However, the Orson Welles drama has just been dethroned from its perfect Rotten Tomatoes status by an unlikely contender: the 2018 family flick Paddington 2. As noted by Discussing Film, someone updated the Rotten Tomatoes account for Citizen Kane to include a previously missing 80-year-old review that criticized the film, dropping its score from 100% to 99%. The write-up originally ran in print in the Chicago Tribune back on May 7th, 1941. In her revie...

Robinhood Responds To Ice Cube’s Lawsuit
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Carlo Allegri / Getty Ice Cube may not be out in these streets bringing drama to the ops, but the N.W.A. OG is damn sure taking them to court for getting outta pocket. According to AllHiphop, Cube has filed a lawsuit against the financial services app, Robinhood, for using his likeness and lyrics without his permission. In a suit filed on March 31, Cube accused Robinhood of robbin’ his image in an ad for their new service, Robinhood Snacks. To add insult to injury the ad even featured some of Cube’s lyrics remixed into fitting their format and read “Correct yourself, before you wreck yourself.” An obvious reference to Cube’s hit “Check Yo Self.” Last week Robinhood replied to Cube’s allegations and suggested Cube had no grounds to stand on as they’re prot...
Chadwick Boseman’s Family Is Fine With Actor Not Winning An Oscar Award
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NBC / Getty Last Sunday (April 25), the 93rd annual Academy Awards was held at Union Station in Los Angeles. And while many wondered why viewers choked up when Chadwick Boseman‘s likeness appeared during the customary “In Memoriam” segment, some were upset that King T’Challa didn’t win the “Best Actor” award that night. Millions of Boseman fans felt the late-great actor was deserving of the award for his role as Levee Green in Ma’s Rainy Black Bottom, but ultimately the Oscar went to Anthony Hopkins for his role in The Father. Though fans were upset at the end result, TMZ is reporting that Boseman’s family are actually okay with Hopkins taking home the gold. Taking the high road in the matter, Chadwick’s brother, Derrick says that at the end of the day, e...
HHW Gaming: ‘Mortal Kombat’ & ‘Injustice’ Studio Working On New Marvel Fighting Game: Report
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 A new Marvel-based fighting game? Made by the same studio that brought us Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice? WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT. According to the digital grapevine, a new Marvel fighting game is in the works, and NetherRealm Studio is allegedly behind it. If this is indeed the case, it will be the first game since 2017’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and would mean that NetherRealm is not currently working on the follow-up to Injustice 2: Gods Among Us. [embedded content] The report comes from Daniel Richtman (via Stealth Optional) and doesn’t bear much in the form of details, so please take all of this with the tiniest grain of salt while at the same time being excited at the possibility that su...

Now there’s even more reasons to be excited for one of the most promising releases of the year, “Hero,” a forthcoming collaboration between Afrojack and David Guetta.
