Meek Mill Gifted Toys, Clothes & Electronics To Philly Families Hurt By The Criminal Justice System

Source: Prince Williams / Getty It’s been a struggle end to the year for Meek Mill due to, well, his ways and actions, but still the Philadelphia rapper isn’t letting it all dampen his Christmas spirit and has taken to the streets to spread some of that brotherly love Philly is known for. Complex is reporting that the “What’s Free” rapper and his Dreamchasers label got their Kris Kringle on and delivered toys, clothes, and even XBOX’s to 35 families in Philadelphia who’ve been impacted by it’s struggle criminal justice system. Though he didn’t personally deliver the goods himself, the man was able to facetime with the families who got their Christmas presents a few days early. In partnership with the REFORM Alliance, Puma, GoPuff, and DocuVault, Meek helped arrange the deliveries, which sa...

Culture Vulture Cover: AR-Ab Denies His VladTV Interview Got Him Pinched By The Feds

Source: @Justinmyview / Radio-One At this point Hip-Hop is half cancel culture and conspiracy culture. One rapper clears up the notion that a platform but him behind bars. As spotted on HipHopDX AR-Ab has done his first interview since getting arrested on federal drug charges. In an over the phone conversation with the Flip Da Script podcast he touched on several points regarding his current situation. Naturally the topic of DJ Vlad came up as over the years several rappers have attempted to put a snitch jacket on the Russian media mogul. About three years ago the former associate of Cassidy conducted a sit down with the journalist. While he touched on a bevy of topics regarding his story it was his admissions of running a drug ring that went viral. In his discussion with QueenzFlip a...

Source: Twitter | @leadersofthenew / Twitter Racists always deserve a proper fade. A white guy refused to stop saying the N-word while he was checking out at a convenience store, which led to him catching a tall can fade via the man of color who gave him plenty of outs to avoid a beatdown. 😳😳😳 pic.twitter.com/5o7Jy1HLFd — Leaders Of The New (@LeadersOTN) December 24, 2020 Video of the incident made it online (see above), and it’s a winner. A tall slim white dude is seen adamantly refusing to stop saying the N-word to a man who looks like he is Latino. “I’m a say n*gga all day.

Jenny Lewis and Bill Murray Get Into the Holiday Spirit With Drake Cover

This year has offered us many strange things. But one of the good ones has been the ongoing artist collaborations that have taken place that are seemingly of the moment. Longtime pals Jenny Lewis and Bill Murray joined in on the fun on Wednesday (Dec. 23) night. In an Instagram Live jam session, the pair covered Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.” You definitely didn’t have Lewis and Murray covering Drake on your 2020 bingo card, but it makes sense, all things considered. This isn’t the first time the pair linked up. In 2015, Lewis and Murray joined forces on the Sofia Coppola-helmed special A Very Murray Christmas.  A few weeks ago, Lewis teamed with Serengeti for the holiday-tinged “Unblu.” Meanwhile, Murray went back-and-forth with the Doobie Brothers in a rare, good-natured legal ...

Near-Original 1969 Dodge Daytona Pulled Out of Storage After 45 Years

The accepted number of 1969 Dodge Daytonas produced in total is 503. No doubt, the 1969 Daytona ranks high on the desirability scale. The sole reason for the car’s existence is due to NASCAR‘s homologation process in 1969. If it wanted to race its cars, Chrysler had to produce 500 road-going examples. In civilian trim, there were only two engines available: the 440 Magnum, rated at 375 horses, and the extra-cost 426 Hemi, which was rated at 425 horses. Both engines were available with either a 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission or an A833 four-speed manual gearbox. Because these were extremely low-production vehicles with a single purpose, the final assembly of the Daytona was contracted to Michigan-based Creative Industries. Brand-new 1969 Dodge Charger R/Ts were load...

Alpha Motor Ace: A Retro-Cute EV With Charm in Spades

Just a few years ago, electric vehicles were soulless cages, commuter appliances begrudgingly produced to meet real or anticipated EV mandates. Automakers hardly wanted to develop and sell them, and consumers were even less enthusiastic. Something’s changed recently. A lot of credit goes to Tesla for making EVs uniquely cool, with the electric drivetrain part of the appeal rather than a big asterisk. Lately, other automakers have been exploring the cute end of the spectrum; witness the adorable, eminently desirable Honda E. Now that such possibilities have been demonstrated, EVs both proposed and real are getting much, much more interesting. Take the Alpha Motor Corporation’s Ace. See all 5 photos It’s more in the Kyocera Moeye vein of things, which is to say it’s r...

Mountain’s Leslie West Dies at 75

Mountain formed on Long Island, New York in 1969 and released three albums before they broke up in 1972 — though they’ve reunited frequently since and released a number of other projects including 1974’s Avalanche, 1985’s Go for Your Life, 1996’s Man’s World, 2002’s Mystic Fire and 2007’s Masters of War. The group notably performed at Woodstock in 1969. Their best-known song, “Mississippi Queen,” peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in 1970. West was inducted in to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and appeared on dozens of other recordings from a vast universe of artists. Samples of his performances lived a secondary life on the masters of hip-hop and rap stars. You Deserve to Mak...

Nico Vega Members Unveil ‘Cease & Desist’ Playlist for Donald Trump

President Donald Trump has been using songs in his campaign videos and rallies without permission throughout his term, and Nico Vega has now compiled all of those tracks into a convenient and aptly titled “Cease and Desist” playlist. In response to Trump’s unauthorized use of their song “Beast” in a “Fight for Trump” video last week, former members Aja Volkman-Reynolds and Dan Epand, who now make up the band Two, issued a statement on Twitter. “To be clear, we do not support the use of our song ‘Beast’ in the recent Trump video,” the group wrote. “We have love and empathy for people of all backgrounds, races, and beliefs, and we feel sick how ALL Americans’ fears and vulnerabilities have been exploited over the last four years...

BTS’ Jimin Drops Heart-Warming Solo Holiday Jam, ‘Christmas Love’

“Did you get a good Christmas present?  I really wanted to hear from you, but fortunately, I am very, very happy to be able to do so,” wrote Jimin. “The reason I came here today is the reason why I suddenly heard this bright song in such a difficult situation, I came here because I wanted to tell you a little about the reason. As you know from the song… This song is a scene where my favorite snow falls out of my childhood memories. I sing with my feelings when I first saw them. “As we grow up, it seems that we miss our childhood a lot,” he continued. “Whether that’s the situation now or not, I thought I wanted to go back to that time. A sense of responsibility for something as you grow. That responsibility makes us mature. I thought that ...

Strictly Discs in Wisconsin, in a Pandemic: ‘Everybody Realizes We’re at a Critical Point for Retail’

We talked last time about how December is a really important month for you. How has business been the last couple of weeks? It’s been good. Madison has a very strong ‘buy local’ spirit, and we’re really feeling that love this year. In addition, so many customers, either on the phone or in person, are asking how we’re doing with genuine concern. I think everybody realizes that we’re at a critical point for retail and restaurants and local establishments, and everybody is hoping that their favorites will stay. That’s really heartening to hear, especially now with the pandemic, when it’s a lot more convenient and, I guess, safer for people to buy online or on Amazon. We definitely feel that in our business. I hesitate who I say this to, but the ...
