Pusha T Declares Jay-Z The Best Rapper
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Pusha T is still basking in the glow of the release of his latest full-length release, It’s Almost Dry, and the media rounds are being made by the talented lyricist. King Push recently shared during an interview that Brooklyn bomber Jay-Z is the best rapper in his estimation. Sitting down with SiriusXM radio host Swaggy Sie, the Virginia rapper gave a strong opinion regarding the legacy of Hov in his view, this after Pusha T just worked with Jay-Z on the “Neck & Wrist” track. “Hov to me, he’s like the best rapper, like just period,” Pusha T said during the chat. “When I reach out to him about a record, I feel like he sort of knows that I’m not reaching out to him about no bullshit. I must really think that this is a joint or somet...
French Montana ft. Kodak Black “Mopstick,” Logic “Tetris” & More | Daily Visuals 4.27.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Montana returns! After dropping off new work on a consistent basis to remind everyone he’s that dude, French Montana took a lil break from the video game for a hot second, but today he returns with some help from a man who was famously pardoned from prison by an orange overlord. In his visuals to “Mopstick,” French Montana heads down to Florida to link up with Kodak Black who takes French on a cruise through the marshland swamps before holding down the parking lot outside of a Chinese restaurant who were probably hoping everyone would just hurry up and buy. We kinda feel like Blueface should’ve been featured on this cut given the title as he used to always use a mopstick in his videos. Just sayin.’ Elsewhere, Logic continues to prove that retirement shouldn’t be ...

The MTA Will Try To Crackdown On Fare Evasion, Has Cost Them $500 Million So Far
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Noam Galai / Getty A few days ago this particular New Yorker surprisingly witnessed a teenager hop over the turnstile in a train station and make his way onto platform right in front of three uniformed police officers who could seemingly care less about the MTA missing out on that $2.75 and continued on with their conversation (where were these kind of police when I was growing up?!). For a while now, fare evasion has become a big problem for the MTA and the Gothamist is reporting that with subway ridership still down and fare evasion going up, the higher ups at the MTA are looking to take measures to tackle both problems in the coming future. On Tuesday (April 26) announced that they’d be creating a “blue ribbon” panel dubbed “Fareness” to look at how th...
Killer Mike Says Pardoned Drug Offenders Should Be Legal Weed Sellers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Winter / Getty According to Killer Mike, drug offenders who have recently received clemency should be able to be the first ones to take part in the legal marijuana dispensary industry. In an interview with TMZ, the rapper and entrepreneur opened up about his thoughts on the subject after President Joe Biden granted clemency to 78 people who were serving long prison sentences for possession with intent to sell, or simple possession. The Run The Jewels MC flatly stated that while what the administration did was okay, it should be doing more. For starters, he feels that the number of those who were released should be “quadruple” what it was. The “Ghetto Gospel” rapper went on to say that non-violent drug offenders need to be put at the front of t...

My Neck & My Back: Ben Simmons Ferociously Flamed By Twitter After Brooklyn Nets Playoff Ouster
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: James Devaney / Getty Ben Simmons entered the NBA with tons of promise as the top pick in the 2016 NBA Draft with many observers taking note of his athleticism, skill, and size. Simmons, now something of a pariah in the league for various documented reasons, suffered the brunt of criticism after the Brooklyn Nets were swept out of the NBA playoffs by the Boston Celtics this week. Simmons hasn’t played since last season when the Philadelphia 76ers went down against the Atlanta Hawks in an Eastern Conference semifinal game. Most remember this particular loss due to Simmons’ decision to pass on slamming the ball into the cup and looking tentative in the glare of the big lights. After a long, drawn-out split from the 76ers, Simmons finally landed with t...
