Earl In The Wild: Earl Sweatshirt Gets Into It With A Religious Protestor Outside Of His Show

Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Earl Sweatshirt Goes In On A Protestor At His Show Videos of Earl Sweatshirt in the wild are always a delight, just like this latest footage of the rapper going in on a protestor outside of his show. Earl performed at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver, Colorado this week, but outside of the venue, he ended up getting into a confrontation with a religious protestor. A video of what went down ended up surfacing on April 12 after being taken by one of his fans who attended the show. “Spontaneously went to an Earl Sweatshirt show in Denver and saw him outside the venue telling this racist, sexist religious dude to fuck off,” she wrote in her caption. The footage shows Sweatshirt standing next to his tour bus as he gets into an argument with a man holding up a megaphone and flashlight, standing on a milk crate. As he tries to reason with the protestor, a woman continuously twerks in front of him, presumably trying to make him mad and leave the premises. “Can you stop?” Earl says to the man repeatedly. The protestor continues to counter, saying, “The Bible commands all man everywhere to repent. There comes a day that he will judge you and he will judge you for your sins. Your sins, sir, are going to drive you to hell. You need to repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ.” Earl is simply trying to get this dude to stop and continuously claps his hands together while telling the man, “Shut up, be quiet and go away.” Toward the end of the video, someone who appears to be security starts to pull Earl away from the scene. Check out the footage down below of what you can expect outside of the venue at your next Earl Sweatshirt concert.

Sneaker Pimps: Kanye’s ‘Yandi’ Album Might Be Hidden Inside YEEZY Kicks [Photos]

Source: adidas / adidas Either the internets’ are stepping up their troll game, or God is blessing all the hypebeasts. It seems Kanye West ‘s newest effort is being delivered via his new shoe release. Last month, Ye’ and his high-profile family set up shop at a lemonade stand to hawk the pricey feet pieces. High Snobiety is reporting that one lucky YEEZY enthusiast found something extra inside of his Boost 700 V2’s. According to  Sneaker Freaker a 15-year-old by the name of Braxtyn cut into his pair in the spirit of the popular viral craze “what’s inside”. What he found was a  Yandhi  branded USB stick which he claims hold West’s yet to be released LP of the same name. He detailed the finding saying “BOOST is like butter, so I knew tings [sic] weren’t gucci when the blade stopped. “I pull it out and it’s this USB and I’m like, damn, you know, it’s not even Thunderbolt. What am I meant to do with this?” When haters claimed it was photoshopped he posted a picture of the track listing. View this post on Instagram WE FOUND THE YANDHI ALBUM WHILE CHOPPING UP GEODES! The USBs are numbered 1-50. Has anyone else found one? @complexsneakers @highsnobietysneakers @solecollector @sneakernews @sneakerfreakermag @hypebeastkicks @yeezymafia @dailymail A post shared by @ yandhi_yeet on Mar 31, 2019 at 10:34pm PDT When asked how does it sound he added “It’s not quite “Sicko Mode” level’, but “Pusha [T] has dope fish scale bars”. Right. Based on his findings Rick Rubin, Taylor Swift, Beck and Kim Kardashian all make cameos on the project. He has yet to upload the album for public consumption but as per his Instagram page he “will trade for Pharrell’s Chanel NMDs and glowgate 750s. DMs open”. View this post on Instagram Haters will say it’s Photoshop, so here’s the track list to prove it. I’m not uploading the USB online, but will trade for Pharrell’s Chanel NMDs and glowgate 750s. DMs open A post shared by @ yandhi_yeet on Mar 31, 2019 at 11:06pm PDT So far, Braxtyn is the only one to come forward as a winner. While this all sounds like a great album launch tactic let’s not forget this was discovered on April 1 AKA April Fool’s Day. Additionally, Kanye nor adidas has yet to confirm if this is all true. So until someone else comes forward or the album is leaked this whole story gets the side eye. — Photo: adidas

Dapper Dan Addresses Gucci Fiasco & Plans To Help Other Brands With Diversity

Tonight is the fashion reality tv that we’ve been waiting for: the return of Project Runway. Season 17 starts tonight at 8PM and they are coming with some changes that extend beyond just a new network. According to Nina Garcia, Project Runway Judge since Season 1 and Editor In Chief of Elle Magazine , “this is the most inclusive season, it’s the most diverse season we’ve ever had from the judges to the models to the contestants.” Source: Noam Galai / Getty Though Tim Gunn is noticeably absent, they have added former Teen Vogue Editor In Chief, Elaine Welteroth as a judge and Karlie Kloss as the host. What to expect from Welteroth? “I’m fair. I tell it like it is. I’m not afraid to be honest and critical, that’s what we’re there to do. I’m an Editor by nature, by training.” Project Runway has been a platform to introduce up and coming designers to the world and providing them with valuable feedback and skills needed in the retail world. The most successful from the series in undoubtedly Christian Siriano, who won Season 4, and has returned to the show as a judge for Season 17. Siriano promises that the season is going to be “bold, exciting and controversial”. He also added, “I think people are going to be really inspired!” For Season 17, the judges include Nina Garcia, Christian Siriano, Brandon Maxwell, and Elaine Welteroth. Model Karlie Kloss is the Executive Producer and Host of the show, taking over for Tim Gunn. Even though they are judges, they get very invested in the contestants. Welteroth revealed on the carpet, “I fall in love with them and I get a little emotional. We’re really in it. We’re invested in it. We want to see these guys win!” In the age of the Internet, a platform and a little luck, this opportunity can turn a burgeoning fashion designer into a multi-million dollar brand (it happened for Siriano). Welteroth stated, “We want to help cultivate the best next generation of designers and I think there’s a few of them here that will go on to do really amazing things.” Tune into Project Runway Season 17 tonight, March 14th, at 8PM.

WATCH: Solange Releases Visual for ‘Almeda’

See the original post here:

Source: Max Hirschberger / Solange Solange ended a crazy Black History Month with the revitalization of BlackPlanet.com by releasing exclusives and insight into her newest project ‘When I Get Home’. Get Breaking News & Exclusive Contest in Your Inbox:    Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit Just after the release of ‘When I Get Home’ Solange broadcasted a multimedia presentation all over Houston on her BlackPlanet.com page explaining that the project is a nod to her Texas roots and pride in her blackness. Days later Solange released the visual for ‘Almeda’ putting the black people and black pride of Houston on display through the visual. Although many times Solange has symbolism that we don’t understand ‘Almeda’ has a few obvious parallels to her life.  The title alone is an area of town where Solange spent a lot of time and the Almeda Mall was a landmark she has referenced on social media.  In the visual, you will notice a lot of the women wearing hairstyles that were popular in the 90’s.  We assume this is a nod to her mother that ran a popular hair salon in the area for many years.  The fashion in the visual also has touches of southern style with cowboy boots, hats and bolo ties.  From throwback 90’s hairstyles, throwback cell phones to black cowboys, ‘Almeda’ embodies how Houston impacted Solange’s creativity as a black woman. ‘Almeda’ features Playboi Cardi and The Dream on the track produced by Pharrell and John Carroll Kirby. The full-length visual for ‘When I Get Home’ can be seen on Apple Music and was filmed across various locations of Houston’s Third Ward.

Queen Latifah To Create Affordable Housing Complex In Newark

See original here:

Q ueen Latifah has broken barriers in both the music and entertainment industries and now she plans on doing the same in real estate. In an effort to level the playing field when it comes to housing equity in her hometown of Newark, the Star actress is creating an affordable housing complex in the city, NJ.com reported. Queen Latifah is coming home to Newark and building $14M worth of new housing https://t.co/GhP6SbZqLf pic.twitter.com/OxI5mwPVBp — NJ.com (@njdotcom) February 21, 2019 The project—which is reportedly going to cost $14 million—will be a community of multi-family townhouses, the news outlet writes. The homes—which will be located on Springfield Ave. and South 17th Street—will include 20 three-family townhomes and an additional mix-use building that will have 16 units. The mix-use building will feature a fitness center and commercial space that will be used by nonprofit organizations. 60 of the units will be market rate starting with a price of $1,800 and 16 of the units will be affordable and based on an individual’s income. The project is being led by BlueSugar Corporation—where Latifah serves as co-president—and GonSosa Development. BlueSugar Corporation has been on a mission to revitalize struggling neighborhoods across the country and GonSosa Development has reconstructed and developed over 1,000 units. There is a need for affordable housing in Newark and those who are involved in the project are excited about making change. “They understand how difficult it is to make ends meet for many residents and want to be part of the solution. They remain dedicated to making life better in communities like Newark,” said Cristina Pinzon who serves as a spokeswoman for the developers. Like other cities across the country, Newark is experiencing an affordability crisis where many longtime residents are at risk of being displaced due to gentrification. News about Queen Latifah’s plans comes nearly a month after NFL star Marshawn Lynch shared that he was going to purchase real estate in his hometown of Oakland so that people who have lived in the community for decades wouldn’t be pushed out.
