YG ft. J. Cole & Moneybagg yo “Scared Money,” Murda Beatz ft. Blxst & Wale “One Shot” & More | Daily Visuals 2.4.22
HipHopWired Featured Video It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard from YG (at least on the music sense) and while he’s been keeping a low profile for a while now, today the LA representative returns to the forefront of the music scene and brought some well-known homies along with him. Coming through with some new visuals to “Scared Money,” YG enlists the talents of J. Cole and Moneybagg Yo to help him pull off a heist and break into a bank to take mountains of cash… or at least rap in front of them. Gotta do something with all that paper. Might as well make it your backdrop. Elsewhere, Murda Beatz decides to be a part of an all-women basketball game in his clip to “One Shot” where Wale and Blxst take on coaching duties of rival teams while Beatz refs the game. Beatz truly looking like a ...
HHW Gaming Review: ‘Sifu’ A Brilliant, But Extremely Challenging Quest For Revenge
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Sloclap / Sifu It’s a new year, and another brutal “roguelike” has arrived on PS4 and PS5 consoles. Instead of being stuck in an endless time-loop on an alien world like in Housemarques brilliant game Returnal, Slocap has us on a quest for revenge in its unique beat’em up adventure, Sifu. We break down if Sifu lives up to the hype that it has garnered since its announcement. In Sifu, you take control of a young student (male or female) who embarks on a quest to avenge the death of his/her father at the hands of Yang, whom you looked up to as a brother. The game opens with a prologue where you control Yang, also serving as a brief introduction to the game mechanics that will see you take down the Sifu’s (master) students before delivering the fatal bl...
Awkwafina Quits Twitter After Suspect Blaccent Non-Apology, Slander Continues
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Today (Feb. 5), Asian-American actress Awkwafina took to Twitter to reveal she would be quitting the social media app at the behest of her therapist. But before that, she offered up what’s widely considered a non-apology for her much-maligned use of a “blaccent,” before making her exit. Most everybody except her fiercest fans are calling her out for her far too late mea culpa and dramatic exit. Born Nora Lum, the Queens native copped pleas, years after the fact. After years of what many consider the mocking of Black culture via her liberal use of African-American vernacular English (AAVE), she offered up some quaint words of explanation, including her love of Hip-Hop and where she grew up. “As a non-Black POC, I stand by the...
