Rammstein Endorse Potential Lego Set of Their Massive Stadium Stage
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T20:06:03+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 4:06pm ET A Rammstein fan with a lot of time and creativity on his hands has designed a Lego set based on the band’s massive stadium stage, and he has the industrial metal outfit’s seal of approval. The design is competing for consideration as part of the Lego Ideas initiative, with Rammstein urging their fans to vote on the project. It’s not the first time a notable music act’s stage setup has been in consideration for a Lego set. Last year, we reported on an entrant who submitted a design for an elaborate Tool stage, complete with awesome figurines of the band’s four members. Another contender presented a similar idea for Daft Punk. Whi...
‘Black Ink Crew’: Ceaser Says He Was Heartbroken After Walt Stole $5k From Him, Reveals They’re No Longer Friends
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Ceaser Emmanual and Walt’s longtime friendship is dead… for now. On the season 9 premiere of Black Ink Crew: New York, the episode ended with some drama that looks like it will be the main storyline of the new season. After a year-long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ceaser got the crew back together, and we eventually learned there was a thief among the ranks when it was revealed someone broke into the 125th street shop stealing merchandise, body jewelry, and cash. Immediately all signs pointed to the theft being an inside job, and Ceaser’s worst fears were confirmed when his best friend Walt copped to stealing $5,000 from the register after he was pressed by Ted and shown the surveillance footage. Walt, who definit...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Wilson Sporting Goods / Wilson After years of the NBA drafting players out of the European league, they’ll now be keeping their eyes on the talent that could be coming out of Africa’s new Basketball Africa League (BAL). Source: Wilson Sporting Goods / Wilson That’s right. Starting on May 16, the Basketball Africa League will begin their historic inaugural season at the Kigali Arena in Kigali, Rwanda—just 26 years after Kevin Bacon went to Kenya to recruit elite basketball prospect, Selah (The Air Up There movie reference). In all seriousness, this new league is decades in the making. Twelve teams will be participating in the new league with the Finals set to take place on May 30th. To get the ball rolling on the new league, Wilson has designed the officia...
Man Boasts About Rioting At The Capitol On Bumble, Woman Dimes The Doofus Out
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: TMZ / TMZ Bad boys move in silence and MAGA supporters seemingly can’t keep their mouth shut. One man bragged about rioting at The Capitol on a dating app and a woman put the police on him. As spotted on TMZ one man was doing entirely way too much when he was trying to land himself a hot date. According to the celebrity gossip site Robert Chapman, of Putnam County town Carmel, was arrested by the FBI for his role in the now infamous Capitol insurrection on January 6 in Washington. He apparently bragged about his involvement to a woman he met on the Buumble app. “I did storm the capitol. I made it all the way to the Statuary Hall!” he said to which the woman responded “We are not a match”. Shortly after their interaction, the unidentified woman forwar...

Hip-Hop Wired Presents: CRT FRSH 4.23.21 [Playlist]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: blackCAT / Getty Hip-Hop fans young and old are still reeling from the recent passing of New York giants Earl “DMX” Simmons and Robert “Black Rob” Ross within just a week of each other. Their energy and spirit are with us today as we also just lost Gregory “Shock G” Jacobs, so we opened this week’s CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) playlist by adding some of their work. We open the playlist with the late Tupac “2Pac” Shakur’s “I Get Around” single featuring production and a verse from Shock G alongside his Digital Underground brethren. Most know that 2Pac’s appearance on Digital Underground’s “Same Song” was the first time most got to know him. We follow that up with the title track from Black Rob’s Genuine Article mixtape from 2015, proving that he still had th...

Frank Zappa’s Final American Concert to Be Released as Live Album
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T16:57:13+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 12:57pm ET Frank Zappa’s final performance on American soil has been collected into the new live album Zappa ’88: The Last U.S. Show. It’s out June 18th via Zappa Records/UMe, and the news is accompanied with the live single “I Ain’t Got No Heart”. The performance took place at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on March 25th, 1988. Days later, Zappa and his 11-piece band decamped for a European tour, during which they fell apart from internecine fighting. In 1990, Zappa received a terminal cancer diagnosis and he passed away in 1993. Part of the joy of that March 25th concert is that neither audience nor artists knew it would be among the l...
Justin Bieber Performs “Lonely” for California Prisoners: Watch
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-23T17:13:10+00:00“>April 23, 2021 | 1:13pm ET Justin Bieber paid a visit to the California State Prison in Los Angeles County last month, during which he made the questionable decision to perform “Lonely”, a song about the difficulties of growing up in the spotlight. Check out a short clip of the performance, via TMZ, below. The pop singer made the trip in late March with his pastor in an effort to support faith-based programs. Perhaps he thought a song about loneliness would resonate with prisoners, but most people can’t relate to lyrics about the downfalls of fame. As an example, Bieber sings, “Everybody knows my past now/ Like my house was always made of glass/ And maybe that’...
