RZA Remixes The Jingle Played By Ice Cream Trucks Because Of Its Racist Origins [Video]
Source: GOOD HUMOR / Good Humor As the world continues to get woke we find that some of our fondest memories are now tarnished by the hand of bigotry. One producer is changing the narrative by adding his touch to it. For those not in the know, the instrumental jingle that is synonymous with ice cream trucks has some very hurtful origins. “Turkey in the Straw” was originally performed at minstrel shows by actors wearing blackface—specifically by a character named “Zip Coon.” It was then renamed “N*gger Love a Watermelon”—yes you read that correctly. While the RZA hasn’t made a big splash since his iconic battle versus DJ Premier he still has the magic touch when it comes to the arts. The Abbot has been enlisted by one of America’s most beloved brands to update a modern classic. Good Hu...

Source: Power 105 / Power 105 A few years ago when Machine Gun Kelly shocked the rap world and released a devastating diss track towards Eminem, it seemed like the Cleveland rapper was ready to establish himself as one of the hardest white rappers to ever step into the game. Now all this time later, MGK has decided to switch it up a bit and is carving out his own niche in a new music genre. In his latest visuals to “Concert For Aliens,” Machine Gun Kelly continues to roll with the rock-pop sound and goes from a game show host to a music performer for a crowd filled of Aliens. This the same man that handed Slim Shady the first L of his rap career, y’all. Back in the rap game, Blueface looks to have some fun in the sun and for his Trucarr assisted clip to “Outside (Remix)” take a gang of thi...

Look Inside deadmau5’s Intimate Toronto Drive-In Rave
Earlier in the month of August, deadmau5 announced that he was playing an intimate drive-in rave in Toronto. The popularity of drive-in shows during the COVID-19 epoch has grown tremendously and they are now a robust sub-sector of the live music industry, which was decimated by the impact of the virus. Following the announcement, the Grammy Award-nominated electronic music producer flung his diehard fanbase headfirst into a fever pitch. “hey Toronto, the boss has been chatting with the city mayor… and we’re happy to let you know we’ve got a small drive-in show booked in for Friday, August 14th!” he wrote at the time. Drive-in raves do, of course, come with many caveats in the name of public safety, so deadmau5’s City View Drive-In was under a very public microscope a...

Annie Lennox wrote and performed one of Eurythmics‘ inarguably greatest hits when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” came out and became a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. But some fans are just getting around to it in 2020. Lennox was made aware that Tim and Fred Williams, a set of twin brothers from Gary, Ind., came across her hit for the first time this week.

Source: Stadium Goods / Christie’s Well, someone out there just spent a Galactus sized grip on a pair of OG Air Jordans they can’t possibly rock. Source: Stadium Goods / Christie’s A few weeks ago we reported that Stadium Goods and Christie‘s were about to hold a one-of-a-kind auction featuring all kinds of game-worn Michael Jordan memorabilia and not only did it go all the way down, but it shattered records. After all the bids were in and the smoke cleared, a pair of original game-worn Air Jordan 1’s ended up selling for a staggering $615,000, shattering the record setting sale of $560,000 for a pair of Air Jordan 1’s back in May. We feel like it was either DJ Khaled or Fat Joe that were behind the winning bid given their sneaker aficionado statuses. While the 1’s were the gems of the auc...

I stiffed contractors on his behalf, ripped off his business partners, lied to his wife Melania t...
