21 Savage - Issa Ft. Drake & Young Thug (Official Video)
21 Savage links up with Drake and young Thug for a new banger called "Issa". This one will def be played in the clubs and pools this summer. Major heat right here. Did not expect 21 Savage to drop this kind of heat to be honest but it looks like he has some more new music coming later this month. If its on this level .. i'm def notmad

Supreme x Michael Jackson Collection
All Hypebeast can breathe a sigh of relief, Supreme has unveiled its Michael Jackson collab. Now with that said 90% of buyers may not get the cultural importance of Michael Jackson (thank god for google) but i digress. Although this is probably the most basic design it will still be a cop in my book, just on the fact that MJ is on the shirt. What do you think........?

Top 5 Hip Hop Albums that influenced Culture!!
5.
Album: Wale "The Album About Nothing"
Culture Relevance: Wale is one of those artist that put a lot of thought into his album concepts. This particular album has to be one of the best concepts ever. Wale brings Seinfeld to the hip hop community, giving us a does of humor mixed with real life situations. This album shows that Wale is able to take a show like Seinfeld (which is a top five show BTW but i digress) and make it into something that can cross all backgrounds.
4.
Album: Kid Cudi "MOTM 1"
Culture Relevance: With the emergence of Kid Cudi in 2007 we saw an artist that had a lot more to say than the typical artist. Cudi gave us an album that was likely the blueprint for many artist today. The raw emotion and realness of this album allowed Cudi to show us that its ok to be who you are regardless of what anyone says. (Salute Cudi)
3.
Album: BIG "Life After Death"
Culture Relevance: Where do i start with this one, i can remember hearing this album and thinking, "I can see every lyric he raps". Big had this style that was his own, he gave us in inside view of someone that had a lot on his mind but in the mist of it all tried to enjoy this gift he had been giving. Love Live BIG!!!
2.
Album: Outkast "Speakerbox/The Love Below"
Culture Relevance: Outkast showed us that even in a group you can still be individuals. This album broke down so many barriers for hip hop to enter main stream, i mean my 40 plus year old Aunt owned this album. I think we really go to see 3000 be the 3000 we know today as well as Big Boi show us that you have to mention him as a lyricist. Overall this album might have been the most important to the culture.
1.
Album: Jay Z "Reasonable Doubt"
Culture Relevance: Close your eyes, light a cigar, hell grab some whiskey.......Thats exactly what this album is, Luxury meets real rap. Jay gave us the most well rounded album of all time. He showed the guy from the block that you can make it and also showed the regular 9-5 guy that anything is possible with a mean hustle. The "Can Do" tone of this album spoke to us all and is still speaking today.

Fit For a King: An upclose look at the new Lebron 14 "Red Carpet"
Coming soon is the Nike LeBron 14. This is a color way that we are fairly familiar with as seen on the Nike Air Max LeBron 7 previously. The color combo of black, “Hyper Turquoise” and “University Red” reunite with black being the dominant out of the trio. “Hyper Turquoise” can be found on its translucent outsole in addition to its Swoosh outlining and exterior stitching. “University Red” subtly makes its way onto the silhouette’s branding on the tongue for its finishing touches.
This to us, definitely fits the Lebron "mold" and not only are they stylish are essential hooping shoes. I'm not one to wear Lebron's out on the town as much but I can definitely see this hitting some open gyms for sure. Style and Comfort B+
The Nike LeBron 14 “Red Carpet” is expected to launch on May 27 for a retail price of $175 at select Nike Basketball retailers and online. -Via Hypebeast

Young Thug’s ‘Barter 6′ Fails To Crack Top 20; Tyler The Creator Lands In Top 5
Young Thug caused an uproar when he announced that he would title his debut album, Carter 6, to the dismay of Lil’ Wayne who is the originator of the Carter series. After Weezy clapped back with copyright infringement allegations, Thugger changed the title to Barter 6, since he is a member of the Bloods gang. It dropped last week and failed to crack the top 10 or 20 of the Billboard 200, landing at no. 26 with 19,000 sold, Billboard reports.
Tyler the Creator’s Cherry Bomb album landed at no. 5 despite the short notice of its release. It pushed 58,000 units, with 51,000 being traditional album sales. The Odd Future leader didn’t quite top the sales of his previous album Wolf, which sold 89,000 copies its first week.
In other Billboard news, the Fast and Furious 7 Soundtrack sits at the no. 2 spot with 79,000 units sold this week while Drake rounds out the top 10 with another 35,000 copies of If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late sold.

The Nike Air Max Lunar 1 Breeze gets the “Hot Lava” treatment for summer, with the distinct orange red hue adorning the shoe. A breathable mesh upper makes this the perfect sneaker for the warmer months, washed in black with hints of Hot Lava and a Pure Platinum Swoosh adorning its sides. The Lunarlon sole provides utmost comfort, along with a visible Air unit in mint green complementing the rest of the shoe. The sneaker retails for €150 EUR (approximately $160 USD) and is available now at Titolo Shop.
