Just a few moments ago, a friend asked me a simple question: what’s really going on with Drake and this “Iceman” thing? Fans and haters alike are waiting on his next move, watching every leak and rumor like it’s a playoff game. Calling yourself “Iceman” in this climate is not exactly a wise choice.

Symba is a real dude. The Bay-area MC has found himself standing at an interesting crossroads with his new record “Father Figure.” He makes tension impossible to ignore and yet, he makes it sound really good. The West Coast lyricist grew up believing the pen was meant for war, but has positioned it differently this time. The spark, at least in Symba’s mind, traces back to J. Cole’s “Bronx Zoo Freestyle” from Cole’s Birthday Blizzard mixtape. On the track, Cole raps, “Y’all toddlers to me, stop botherin’ me/Young Symba, some ni##as threw some hate my way/But only thing they should…

According to The New York Post, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael E. Whitaker rejected most of Wallace’s arguments for dismissal.

The feds are coming for Nike’s diversity programs. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed court papers Wednesday demanding the sportswear giant hand over records about alleged discrimination against white workers. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas launched the investigation herself last year. She claims Nike’s diversity goals might violate federal law by creating bias against white employees in hiring and promotions. The agency wants Nike’s layoff criteria from 2018 forward. They’re also demanding details about 16 programs that allegedly gave race-restricted mentoring and leadership opportunities to workers. “Title VII’s prohibition of race-based employment discrimination is colorblind,” Lucas said in a statement. “The…

It felt abrupt. Out of nowhere. Almost uncharacteristically quiet and measured for a man who usually doubles down. A lot of us wondered what caused such a sharp turn.
