Give It To Me: 5 Reasons Timbaland Is The GOAT Producer
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty The conversation about who is the best to do it behind the boards is a debate to be had. But our money is on Timbaland as the greatest of all time producer; no cap. When the Hip-Hop community truly does the homework it should be no surprise why Timbo The King is just that—The King. The Norfolk, Virginia native has proven time after time that he breathes rare air and is to be treated as such. And please do not mistake this bouquet of flowers as a slight to his musical peers. Dr. Dre, Puff Daddy, Swizz Beatz and The Neptunes are all legends in their own right, but Tim is that dude for real for real. Related Stories Still have your doubts? We don’t blame you; it’s a moment of Rap clarity that few have yet to experience but need t...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Caia Image / Getty Salute to the readers and supporters of Hip-Hop Wired! We’re back with a fresh update of our CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) playlist. Part of our duty as a publication and crew is to school the masses on who is doing what musically and there’s no better way to do that beyond our CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) bi-weekly playlist (we’ll always add this sentence).

Kyle Kuzma Asks About D.C.’s Best “Mumbo Chicken,” Kill Moe Twitter Corrects Kuz
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: G Fiume / Getty Kyle Kuzma is getting himself acclimated swiftly to the culture and surroundings of Washington, D.C. after he was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Washington Wizards. Via Twitter, the fashion icon asked his followers which establishment in the region has the best “mumbo chicken” and Kill Moe Twitter corrected the talented hooper. For starters, Kuz clearly meant to say “mumbo” sauce, a concoction that has its roots in Washington, D.C.’s famed chicken wing and Chinese-American carryout restaurants. “Dc where the best mumbo chicken at? I’m talking hole in the wall good,” Kuz tweeted on Friday (Jan. 14). The history of mumbo sauce extends far beyond the confines of the District of Columbia, with some saying the sauce was born in...
Ye FKA Kanye West & The Game Team Up For “Eazy” Track, Pete Davidson Catches Stray
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Ye FKA Kanye West and The Game teamed up for a new track, “Eazy,” which made its way to the streaming services on Friday (Jan. 14). The track, which samples a Hip-Hop classic, finds Ye and Game trading bars, with the Chicago superstar getting candid about his marital woes and letting off a shot in the direction of Pete Davidson. Built atop the late Eazy-E’s “Eazy-Duz-It” sample and Beastie Boys’ “Paul Revere” drums, Game opens up the track before handing over the microphone duties to Ye. In his typically frank fashion, Yeezy doesn’t mention his estranged wife Kim Kardashian by name but it’s not hard to pinpoint the focus of the lyrics. From “Eazy”: How I ain’t bring nothin’ to the table when I’m the table?I’ma turn up the ...

HipHopWired Featured Video It’s going on a week since Gunna dropped his latest project DS4EVER and though his Freddie Gibbs “diss” didn’t exactly live up to the hype he gave it, fans still appreciate the overall material he provided on his latest album. Today Gunna dropped a new visual for one of DS4EVER’s standout cuts, “Pushin P” in which he and Future just ball out from the club to the parking lot before linking up with Young Thug at a… clothing store?? You’d think it would be at the club but it is what it is. Back in Brooklyn, Troy Ave still on his grizzly and in his clip for “Playing Games” politics in an all-white room while a thick as molasses model poses up a storm in the bedroom. Why Troy was in an entirely different room is beyond us but to each his own. Check out the r...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Jay-Z and Kanye West are in elite company as a pair of the 10 highest-paid musicians of 2021. But both rappers and businessmen ain’t bringing in as much bank as Bruce Springsteen, though. Rolling Stone compiled the list, written by author Zach O’Malley Greenburg, who noted that selling copyrights is what brought in the most dollars for the big bank artists. Related Stories “These are almost like pieces of art — there’s a finite number of real, super-high-quality hit songs from the past — and there’s this sort of all-out grab to own those rights,” Josh Gruss, founder and CEO of Round Hill Music, which has dropped $1.3 billion on music copyrights in the last 10 years, told Rolling Stone. “It’s a very steady stream of revenue that’s there...

HHW Gaming: Microsoft Quietly Puts A Fork In The Xbox One, Will Focus Soley On The Xbox Series X & S
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Anadolu Agency / Getty Unlike Sony, Microsoft is fully invested in the future of gaming and is saying goodbye to the Xbox One. Per The Verge, Microsoft has officially lowered the Xbox One’s casket because it no longer manufactures models of that console.

Kid Cudi Plays A Porn Star In New Horror Film ‘X’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Albert L. Ortega / Getty While we continue to wish to see Kid Cudi back on the small screen in HBO’s How To Make It In America (HBO dropped the ball on that series), at least we’ll be able to see KC on the big screen in A24’s new horror film, X. Starring alongside Brittany Snow, Jenna Ortega, Martin Henderson, and Mia Goth, Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) stars as a would-be porno star who’s production team takes to rural Texas to film an XXX film. Once there things get pretty weird when the old folk on the farm turn out to be “not well” and end up trying to murder the adult film cast and crew. Set in the 70’s, the cinematography calls back to those old school grindhouse films that had us playing with the “Tracking” button on the VHS to get a clearer picture and...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Activision / Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered Is the next installment of Call of Duty right around the corner? According to a new report, that might be the case. Per GamesRadar, reputable leaker Tom Henderson, who has a very respectable track record when leaking information about first-person shooting games like Call of Duty and Battlefield that does pan out, hints at the next COD game being pushed up to October 2022. Related Stories In a tweet, Henderson hinted the next installment, reportedly Modern Warfare 2, will have its release pushed up partially because of Call of Duty: Vanguard’s rather lackluster sales numbers. Henderson also says that we can expect a “big” Warzone update that will follow the release of the next Call of Duty ga...
