Drake Once Got Paid $100 To Open Up For Ice Cube
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cole Burston / Getty These days everyone knows that Drake has enough money to finance his own small country, but recently he revealed he was barley getting gas money to open up for a Hip-Hop legend when he was trying to make a name for his Canadian self. Per Page Six, the man currently known as the Six Gawd revealed that back in 2006 when he was only known as “Wheel Chair Jimmy” on the show Degrassi, he was getting paid a whole Benjamin to open up for Ice Cube when Cube did a show in Canada. Yes, $100 back in 2006 could’ve gotten you a pair of Air Force 1’s and a t-shirt, but these days a buck could barely fill up your gas tank.

The Critics Are Not Smelling What The Rock’s ‘Black Adam’ Is Cooking Despite Strong Early Reactions
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Warner Bros. / Black Adam Dwayne, The Rock Johnson, has been promising for months that the hierarchy of the DCEU is about to change with the arrival of his blockbuster anti-hero film, Black Adam. That sounds good, but the consensus is that the critics are not smelling what The Rock’s Black Adam is cooking. Black Adam is just days away from striking movie theaters with a tremendous lightning bolt, but when the film arrives, it will do so by being critically panned among movie critics across the board. Right now, The Rock’s 15-year passion project is sitting at a disappointing 54% after being reviewed by 79 reviewers. If there is any positive to get out of that, 43 reviews are fresh, while 36 or rotten. We also don’t have an audience score, and if Black Ada...
