Marijuana Is Finally Legal In New York, Now What?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bloomberg / Getty It’s a beautiful morning in New York for many herb enthusiasts now that the state has finally legalized recreational marijuana. State legislations and Governor Andrew Cuomo made it official on Wednesday, allowing some parts of the legislation to take effect immediately. The New York Times breaks down what’s expected out of the new law and what it means to communities disproportionately hit by marijuana-related charges. For starters, forty percent of the tax revenue from the sales will be earmarked for them. And for the people with marijuana-related offenses that are now legal, their records are automatically expunged. In an even bigger win for the culture, the law allows people with past convictions and those invo...
Lil Nas X Expresses Disappointment That Nike Stopped The Release Of His “Satan Shoes”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MSCHF / MSCHF Earlier this week Nike filed a lawsuit against MSCHF for their custom made Air Max 97 “Satan Shoes” and asked a judge to keep the designer company from filling orders of the limited edition sneakers.

Naturally, Lil Nas X was upset that his collaboration with MSCHF has basically been canceled by Nike and blamed “the crying nerds on the internet” for having a t*tty attack over a pair of sneakers. Taking to Twitter to express his disappointment, the “Old Town Road” rapper/country artist stated “I haven’t been upset until today, i feel like it’s f*cked up they have s...

Kane Train: Freddie Gibbs Drops Off New “Big Boss Rabbit” Track
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Freddie Gibbs has been on a creative tear beginning with a run of acclaimed studio albums that began with his proper debut in ESGN back in 2013. It appears that the Gary, Ind. native is gearing up to deliver more of his razor-sharp lyrics and music on the back of a new single and video in “Big Boss Rabbit.” Fresh from having his collaborative project Alfredo with The Alchemist up for a Best Rap Album Grammy Award this year, Gibbs began dropping off singles not connected with Hooligan Al or Madlib’s hazy production behind him and opted to go into more traditional spaces beginning with last October’s “4 Thangs” with Hit-Boy and Big Sean. With “Big Boss Rabbit,” clearly a nod to Gibbs’ Vice Lords affiliation, Freddie Kane displays his ...
Yang Gang: Andrew Yang Enlists MC Jin To Drop Verse For Mayoral Campaign

In the brief video, Jin is seen in the clip hawking CDs in New York, not unlike the cats that u...
