Kanye West Says ‘DONDA 2’ Drops In February, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @kanyewest / Instagram Kanye West has been a busy man of late. Along with the media attention-grabbing behavior including his takes on co-parenting and styling his rebound, Ye has been working on DONDA 2, and says it will be out in February. The “Power” rapper took to Instagram to make the announcement. Per Ye, the album will be out on February 2, 2022, and is also being executive produced by star Atlanta rapper Future.

Texas Bar Manager Says “No Saggin, Durags or Wave Caps” Sign Isn’t Racist. But Isn’t It?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Twitter / Twitter It’s well known in the Black community that certain styles of dress, particularly styles created by us, are stigmatized as “thuggish,” “ghetto” or otherwise unbecoming. For example: Around the time Trayvon Martin‘s killing was heavily in the news, there was a national side-discussion around whether or not young Black men were doing themselves any favors by continuing to wear hoodies considering how the article of clothing is often associated with gangsters and thugs. Often absent from that discussion was an acknowledgment of the fact that hoodies were never exclusively worn by gangsters and thugs as they have also always commonly been worn by regular-degular Negros. The negative associations and perceptions of Black styles of dress are r...
