Key Moments In Hip-Hop History

 

Hip hop is more than music; it’s a cultural movement that incorporates different elements of art. Before there was Lil Yachty, Young M.I.A., or YNW Melly, there was a world of hip hop artist who's name rain supreme even still today.

Back when music was real, artist had the opportunity to shine in their own distinctive way. Rap is one of the most distinctive features of hip-hop. Rappers use rhythm, lyrics, and vocal tone to express themselves. The best rappers are distinguished by their “flow” – the way the words run together without the performer getting tongue-tied.

Drake And Kanye Are Beefing Again

So, you probably know the back story already. But, Kanye West got on the radio with Kendra G and apologizes for the MAGA hat as well as the statement "slavery was a choice." It was actually "sounds like a choice to me," but who cares. Anyway, everybody is talking about Kanye saying sorry and crying. BUT we are NOT talking about Kanye calling Drizzy "insensitive" and denying that he helped Pusha T reveal that Drake was "hiding a son."

"I don't play like that, I don't play in that place. It ain't no beef. Ain't nobody got no beef. Nobody going to jail. I'm not calling nobody to do nothing," he said. "I don't do that. I make beats, I'm here for a reason. The universe is on my side."

"We all got love for Drake. We understand he was upset about it, and I felt it was insensitive of him to stress me out in any way after TMZ while I'm in Wyoming, healing, pulling all pieces together."

And last, but not least, Kanye said that Drake would send him the "devil" emoji and harass him.

It may seem like nothing to the commoner but that ain't true. He uses three sets of "666" and a devil emoji in a post and the LOL emoji in the aftermath of the interview. Most people agree this was a response without saying something. Drake is selling out show after show on tour, so its crazy that he took time to do this.

Kanye West Studio Robbed

Now this just makes me mad, after working for everything he owns! Earlier this week, someone broke into his personal studio in Calabasas and took off with $20,000 in equipment. Sources told TMZ they got a call to Kanye’s Calabasas office Tuesday for a burglary. They were told a door had been pried open overnight and the robber/robbers made off with laptops and desktop computers totaling around $20k. Looks like there’s been another interruption in Kanye‘s creative process.

Luckily, all of the technology was protected by “heavy-duty tech security” so no new music will be leaking anytime soon, and all of the technology has been replaced already. Sources have also said that the robbery was more than likely an inside job, as Ye’s camp believes that it was someone who knew exactly what was in the space. Wouldn’t be the first time Kanye had trouble on the inside.

Kanye West Signs Kacy Hill

Kacy Hill is Yeezy's newest G.O.O.D. Music signee, coming after her stint as a model/backup dancer on the Yeezus Tour last year. Her song entitled "Experience" is a Bjork-like, entrancing piece with a rock-synth backdrop, but the Kanye influence becomes apparent with the just-released visual-accompaniment to this track, which features a space shuttle theme and other spaced-out, cryptic elements reminiscent of Kanye's 2010 epic, super-long "Runaway" music video. Expect to hear more from her in 2015.

New YEEZY Basketball Shoe Banned

Kanye West is expected to debut his first-ever Yeezy basketball sneaker on the feet of Adidas athletes during the upcoming NBA season. But the league office would ban the current version of the sneaker on court because of its gleaming, reflective-material heel, according to industry sources.

While the monochromatic sneakers won’t violate the league’s footwear color restrictions, the issue is the reflective “3M” heel panel, which the NBA would find potentially distracting for both in-arena spectators and television viewers.

Carmelo Anthony faced a similar issue with the metallic chrome heel of his Jordan M10 signature sneakers while playing for the New York Knicks. He later wore an updated version with a matte paint finish.

Players are no longer required to wear shoes matching their team’s uniform colors, but the league still has an approval process for new silhouettes from brands in advance of the season.

According to Christopher Arena, the NBA’s vice president of identity, outfitting and equipment, companies will typically submit sneakers for the first half of the season by early August, with shoes scheduled to be worn after the All-Star break required for approval by early December.

While the league office has yet to receive and formally review the new Yeezy basketball shoe in person, the version shared online by West would not be permitted on court as is, according to a source. Alternative versions of the sneaker that don’t incorporate the reflective material would likely be approved.

The league has banned or issued warnings for several sneakers in its history, most famously Michael Jordan’s black and red Nike Air Jordan 1 sneaker in 1985. Nike almost instantly turned the buzz around the Bulls star’s banished debut sneakers into a marketing campaign, vaulting the signature series into rare air and sparking the dawn of collectible-sneaker culture. Three decades later, the Jordan Brand has become its own fully fledged subsidiary of the Nike Inc. company, with annual revenues topping $3 billion.

In a recent post on his @KanyeWest Instagram, the Chicago native explained that his Yeezy basketball shoe has been in development for over three years and undergone nearly 300 sample updates.

The new model is expected to finally make its much-anticipated debut during the 2018-19 season, with Adidas non-signature athletes like Donovan Mitchell, Brandon Ingram, John Wall, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Nick Young potentially wearing the shoe in early 2019. Retail release dates and a finalized price point have yet to be determined.

Earlier Monday, during an interview with paparazzi in Los Angeles, West discussed his long-term vision for his collaborative brand with Adidas and his eventual goal to bring the manufacturing of his sneaker line stateside.

“The Yeezys will be made in America,” he said. “We’re putting a factory in Chicago.”

The New Apple IPlane

During the meeting with President Trump and Kanye West, West suggested that Trump should fly on the ‘iPlane 1’, instead of the current Air Force One, a Boeing VC-25AS aircraft.

Following the meeting, the designer of the concept, Shabtai Hirshberg, told The Verge that Kanye’s words “completely caught [him] by surprise”.

The original design was posted back in 2012 and is called ‘Aerocruiser’. It was created as part of the Detroit-based designer’s master’s degree, with the project titled, “Redesign of a Commercial Aircraft for 2030”.

Hirshberg added that while Apple is not involved at this stage, he is currently working on a smaller version of the craft.
