Post Malone & The Weekend “One Right Now,” Run The Jewels “Never Look Back” & More | Daily Visuals 11.16.21
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Allen J. Schaben / Getty We not gonna front, seeing The Weeknd without that bloody-faced prosthetics that he was rocking a few years back makes watching his videos that much better. Seeing him catch bodies a la The Matrix is even better. Now that he’s wearing his everyday human face, the Canadian crooner is back out on his sexy ish and in the visuals to the Post Malone featured “One Right Now,” The Weeknd gunning down the ops like 007 while Post claps fools that look like The Weeknd. Pretty violent stuff for an R&B record but that’s 2021 for ya. Back on the rap side, Run The Jewels return to spit that real rap sh*t and for their black-and-white visuals to “Never Look Back” they recreate the classic Night Of The Living Dead and experience their own kin...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Ye / Instagram The long-running saga of beef between music titans Ye AKA Kanye West and Drake reached a zenith of sorts this year during the release of their DONDA and Certified Lover Boy albums respectively. After Ye’s open appeal to settle their differences, the Chicago superstar posted an image alongside his Canadian counterpart with triple OG J Prince in tow.

Laura Ingraham Clowned On Twitter For Goofy Exchange Over ‘You’ Series
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: SOPA Images / Getty Laura Ingraham, like many in popular conservative media circles, loves using the “woke” dog whistle to signal to her viewers that she’s all about making sure anything calling differing from their side is an attack. Once more, the Fox News host aired a segment on her show claiming that “viewers like woke-free TV” and discussing the Netflix hit You, prompting Twitter to throw some virtual tomatoes at the “attempt” at humor. During the segment that aired on The Ingraham Angle, Ms. “Shut Up and Dribble” herself appeared in quite the unfunny segment on her show that almost seemed ripped off from The Onion. Again, the term “woke” has been co-opted by conservative pundits to frame anything that calls out their bigotry and ham-handed idi...

The event was to take place on November 23rd, but administrators decided to hold off over concerns from the student body over some of Chappelle’s commentary in the Netflix special that took aim at the LGBTQ+ community and his unapologetic position over some jokes directed at the trans community.
