Jim Jones freestyled over his longtime collaborator, Cam’ron’s, “Losing Weight” on Funk Flex’s radio show, last Thursday. Cam released the track on his second studio album S.D.E., back in 2000.

Jones appeared on the show alongside Dyce Payso, who kicked off the freestyle by rapping about New York City.

“I don’t care if you got a buzz when you rap too/ You can have this same blood I could act true/ And I don’t care if you got a gat cause I’ll be strapped too/ New York City is mine and I’m bringing macs too,” Payso rhymed.

Following suit, Jones rapped, “They ain’t never gonna stop you gotta see this from my position/ N****s they be hating every time they see them watches glistening/ Now we gotta kill a n***a he ain’t got a pot to piss in/ He aint never seen it, all you heard was choppas hitting.”

Cam’ron’s “Losing Weight” featured the late Mobb Deep legend, Prodigy. It also received multiple sequels rounding out a trilogy of “Losing Weight” tracks. As a whole, S.D.E. peaked at no.14, selling 73,000 copies in its first week.

Jim Jones is actually featured elsewhere on S.D.E., including on the tracks “Do It Again,” and “Why No,” as well as “My Hood.” Other guests on the album include Destiny’s Child, Noreaga, Dutch & Spade, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Freekey Zekey, and Juelz Santana.

Cam released the second “Losing Weight” on his 2002 album Come Home With Me. He later followed it up with a long-awaited third on 2019’s Purple Haze 2.

Jim Jones’ freestyle comes after he sat down with HNHH for 12 Days Of Christmas.

Ashanti’s figure has been the talk of the town this month, especially after she posted a bikini-clad thirst trap to keep the masses warm this winter. Most recently, it was Wendy Williams’ ex, Kevin Hunter, who had some things to say about the R&B vocalist and her bodacious body.

Over the weekend, the former television executive reposted a throwback photo of the Murder Inc. artist on his Story. In the obviously dated image, she wears a big smile on her face, huge gold hoops, a pink graphic tee, and skinny jeans. Seeing as she’s much younger in the photo, her shape looks noticeably different compared to now.

According to Hunter, this can only mean one thing – that she underwent plastic surgery. “Ion know… That’s alotta weight gain since 2007,” he wrote in his post. “No hate queen, but BODY DONE???”

Ashanti’s fans lashed out at the father of one with a quickness. “Job Kevin… Get a job,” one person wrote in @theshaderoom’s comments. “It’s been a lot of cheating since 2007 too, but what do I know,” someone else added, bringing light to the OG hater’s own flaws.

“As a man, why were you even worried about it?” yet another person pressed him. “If you expect someone from 2007 to look the same in 2022 I question your level of intelligence,” one last comment reads.

After getting wind of his critics’ thoughts, Hunter had more to say. “Look I think @ashanti is a BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN!” he began.

“I have posted a NUMBER of positive posts that no one ever runs with. In this day and time, it’s not uncommon for people to have surgery… My question was for my page. I’m not a blogger nor am I trying to be or disrespect her in any way.”

Hunter says he “salutes” Ashanti and her “natural assets.” He added, “[I] was merely posing a question,” before going on to praise “all her accomplishments.”

“Errbody CALM DOWN,” the 50-year-old ended his rant.

Deion Sanders is moving on from Jackson State University as he recently accepted a position with Colorado. However, Sanders got to coach one last game with JSU on Saturday. This was for the Celebration Bowl which is a matchup between two HBCU champions. Jackson State got to take on North Carolina Central, and it was an epic matchup.

Unfortunately for Sanders and his team, they ended up losing by a score of 41-34. This loss ultimately came in overtime, although it was a hard-fought game by his team. Either way, Sanders will be disappointed to finish his JSU career with one final loss.

One of the most memorable plays from the game took place in overtime. While down by seven, Hayden Hagler of JSU dropped what would have been the game-tying TD pass. After Hagler missed his mark, the Tigers went on to lose. It was a heartbreaking moment for the young player, who received death threats after the game.

Deion Sanders Stands With His Player

With Hagler feeling the weight of the moment, he couldn’t help but let out his emotion in the locker room. Hagler was sitting at his locker crying when Sanders came over and offered some words of encouragement. Coach Prime noted that the game isn’t all on Hagler and that the team as a whole needed to be better.

This was yet another demonstration of just how much Sanders cares about his players. While he might be going to a different school, there is no doubt that he cares a great deal about these kids. Overall, he has been a net benefit to them.

Kanye West has been named ‘Antisemite Of The Year’ by the watchdog group StopAntisemitism.

READ MORE: With his “White Lives Matter” stunt, has Kanye West finally hit the point of no return? 

West earned the “dishonor” in a poll where he won thousands of votes. The non-profit organisation shared the results in a video posted to Twitter, where they recapped his anti-Semitic remarks made throughout the year. “Mazel Tov Kanye West for propagating the most Jew hatred in 2022 and winning this year’s dishonor,” they said.

“Kanye uses his celebrity platform to push dangerous antisemitic tropes about Jews and power and he refuses to stop,” StopAntisemitism’s Executive Director Liora Rez told TMZ. “His continuous onslaught of bigoted statements has resulted in horrific antisemitic acts perpetrated by white supremacists, Black Hebrew Israelites, and other fringe groups looking to cause Jews harm.

“Jew hatred is already out of control in the United States and the last thing we need is a celebrity like Kanye to add fuel to that fire.”

West’s spate of recent anti-Semitic comments began when he tweeted that he was going to go “death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE” back in October. He was widely condemned by many figures in the entertainment world, as well as several political figures and organisations that represent Jewish communities. He later walked out of an interview in which he was challenged over his anti-Semitic sentiments. 

Even more controversially, he praised Hitler on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars podcast and later called for Jewish people to “forgive Hitler today”, while also denying that the Holocaust happened. Earlier this month, he tweeted an image of a swastika inside a Star of David.

West has had his social media accounts suspended multiple times – his Twitter account was banned three times in less than two months. Most recently, he was suspended from Clubhouse after claiming that Jewish people “are used by the Chinese” to control Black people, describing them as “just middlemen”.

He has also lost brand deals with Balenciaga, Adidas and Gap and had his honorary degree from The School Of The Art Institute Of Chicago rescinded.

Ohio indie rock band The Sidekicks have announced news of their break-up.

The quartet – comprising of Steve Ciolek, Toby Reif, Ryan Starinsky and Matt Climer – took to Instagram over the weekend to confirm the news.

“Folks have been asking and it’s about time that we let everyone know that we have called it a day,” they wrote, sharing a photo of some band merch. “We are endlessly grateful for anyone who has given us a listen, attended a show or put us up for a night.”

They continued: “We are equally grateful to all those who have helped us along the way and to those who we met through our travels and time in this group. So, this is a thank you, from us to you. We hope you had as much fun listening as we had throughout this journey.”

The band also added that any remaining merch can be bought via their Big Cartel and that fans should keep an eye on their new projects “Nothin’, Superviolet, Hunden, starboy_devoid, Mukiss and Orbits”.

The Sidekicks self-released their debut full-length ‘So Long, Soggy Dog’ in 2007, returning with two more albums: ‘Weight Of Air’ in 2009 and ‘Awkward Breeds’ in 2012. Following this, they were signed to Epitaph Records to release 2014’s ‘Runners In The Nerved World’. Their fifth and final release arrived in the form of ‘Happiness Hours’ in 2018.

In response to the post confirming their split, guitarist Toby Reif wrote on Twitter: “RIP Sidekicks, every day I got to play music with steve, ryan, and sanders felt like I’d won some sort of wild contest. Can’t believe how many good people and good places we got to know”.

Pennsylvania band Tigers Jaw added: “So many formative memories for our band revolve around @SidekicksOhio – we owe them so much. Truly the best live band to ever do it and some of the greatest people we’ve had the privilege of knowing. Excited for other projects to come, but Sidekicks forever”.

Replying to the band’s post on Instagram, musician Jeff Rosenstock said: “Love you guys. Thanks for playing such great tunes and kicking so much ass when you played em. And of course for playing our wedding. So happy we got to play so many shows together and to become friends. Love ya!! If you wanted to play one more time no one would be mad about it”. Meanwhile, Evan Thomas Weiss of Into It. Over It. simply wrote: “the greatest rock and roll band in america”.

Widely (but incorrectly) dubbed the “Protection Pack,” New Balance‘s “Refined Future” series has become one of the brand’s most anticipated since debuting with the 2002R in 2021. As the company heads into a new year, it’s experimenting with the pre-distressed atop the 1906R silhouette.

Clad in styles similar to the debut “Refined Future” collection, the New Balance 1906R‘s four newly-surfaced styles keep designer Yue Wu’s vision intact. Hairy suede panels sit atop breathable mesh base layers for an arrangement that’s equal parts lifestyle and performance. Profile “N” logos help introduce some contrast to the otherwise tonal upper makeovers, as do the “1906R” logos at the lateral heel. Underfoot, the next set of options from the New England institution also boast the 860v2’s sole unit, borrowing yet another component from the aforementioned New Balance 2002R. Together, each detail on the unreleased quartet helps the “Refined Future” aesthetic further cement itself within the sneaker space.

Enjoy product shots of the upcoming offerings ahead, as you wait for an official newbalance.com launch date in the first-half of 2023. Select retailers like END. are set to drop pairs as early as Friday, December 23rd.
