It's Just Nice To See Dipset Hanging Out Together Again
The new Dipset song, "Have My Money," is good, but now there's a cool, laid-back video to match the old-school beat, and it makes the song itself a jillion times better. Besides, it's just good to see the apparently reunited Harlem rap collective hanging out and having a good time. ...
All Signs Pointing To MLS Work Stoppage

Rae Sremmurd Are Human Adderall
If you're like me, you didn't immediately get Rae Sremmurd, because you have a 401k and your hangovers are starting to get worse and you're beginning to feel the oppressiveness of your own mortality.

Robert Flores To Nick Young: There's A 70% Chance You'll Miss

Nick Young Is Clapping Back At Robert Flores For Ethering Iggy Azalea
As Jigga's Law states, for every "Ether" there is an equal and opposite "Super Ugly" as the offended party seeks to redress their injuries in diss form.
