Veterans Day Salute: 15 Hip-Hop Stars Who Served In The Military #VeteransDay

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Charday Penn / Getty Today (November 11) marks a special period in American culture. Veterans Day is a moment where we all can reflect on the servicemen and women that donned military uniforms to lend their lives to protect the freedoms of a nation. Many notable figures have gone on to make lasting impacts in society after serving. Over the years, there have been plenty of politicians, actors, and sports figures that got a jump-start on militancy, and surprisingly enough, the same can be said for key figures in Hip-Hop. Some were on the wayward path and used the armed forces to steer them right while others stumbled onto their passion for music during their enlistment. And one particular member of the list just was having a mid-rap crisis. No matter their...

HHW Gaming Review: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy’ Is A Flarkin’ Good Time

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Square Enix / Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Like the film of the same name, we hit the start button on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy with some very reasonable expectations but walked away, mightily impressed. Embracing The MCU A Little Bit Source: Square Enix / Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy When trailers for Eidos-Montreal’s Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy arrived, gamers, including us, were not blown away by what was shown. We immediately began thinking we were in for a second helping of mediocrity we experienced after playing Crystal Dynamic’s Marvel’s Avengers. We couldn’t help but think we are about to get another game based on a popular Marvel property that doesn’t accurately capture the feeling the Marvel Cinematic Universe films give its ...

LeBron James & Twitter Clown MAGA Vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse For His Fake Tears During Trial

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Pool / Getty We don’t believe you. You need more people. That’s what many people are saying on social media following MAGA vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse’s god-awful attempt to shed tears on the witness stand during his trial on Wednesday (Nov.10). Rittenhouse is currently on trial for shooting three protesters, killing two of them during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. During his time in the witness box, Rittenhouse attempted to gain some sort of sympathy by “crying,” but no tears could visibly be seen flowing out of the entitled white teen’s tear ducts. The lame attempt at showing remorse didn’t work on Twitter users watching the shenanigans take place in the Kenosha courtroom. Still, it more than likely worked on the ridiculously biased judge who bec...

Twitter Hilariously Flips Leonardo DiCaprio Playing Mass-Suicide Cult Leader Jim Jones Into Dipset Memes

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Mondadori Portfolio / Getty Only Black Twitter can find a way to make jokes out of Leonardo DiCaprio landing another acting gig. News broke that DiCaprio has signed on to play the infamous cult leader Jim Jones in a forthcoming biopic about the controversial figure’s life. For those who don’t know, Jones was behind the infamous Jonestown mass-suicide event that saw 900 people kill themselves after drinking flavor aid laced with cyanide and other drugs in 1978. As expected, Leonardo DiCaprio began to trend following the announcement, but not for the reason you think. Black Twitter hilariously started sharing tweets that Acadamy Award-winning actor and producer would play Harlem’s own Jim Jones from the legendary Hip-Hop stable Dipset. Related Stories...
