On the Big Jerm-produced track, the Pittsburg rhymer brags about collecting paper while dropping Drake-inspired zingers.

“I’m on my worst behavior / Bad side piece with the perfect flavor / Motherf—ers never loved us / Comin’ for your money, motherf—er, don’t trust us,”he raps.

His partner-in-rhymer Ricky Rozay also delivers some gritty bars and a couple of punchlines.

He spits, “Pants sag, Jimmy Fallon / Blowin’ green in the green room / Def Jam like Bawse really wildin’/ Yeah they hate but won’t box a n—- / Bought an estate from a boxin’ n—- / Paranoid, I’m walkin’ ’round / I’m butt naked with my chopper, n—-.”

Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Red Leather'

Sneakergaga

We’re not sure exactly what Jordan Brand has up their sleeve but we do know one thing, it’s fun trying to figure out. This Air Jordan 6 Retro just popped up and it sports a vibrant red leather upper leaving us with a ton of questions that we’re dying to have answered.

This Air Jordan 6 Retro gets its stand in nickname based on its use of tumbled and smooth red leather but something tells us it will be better defined in the coming days as more formal release information is announced. With black accents on the tongue as well as hits of green breaking up the tonality things are further shaken up by the use of white on the outsole. A graphic print lining gives off a few more clues but the original is still overall mysterious.

According to the rumor mill, the sneaker is possibly associated with Spike Lee’s 40 Acres and a Mule production company. We are still waiting on the other shoe to drop but lets not overlook whats right in front of our eyes, and that is a really fresh Air jordan 6 silhouette.

Stay tuned for release information and feel free to speculate this pair’s origin with us.

Diddy Gives Inspiring Commencement Speech at Howard University (@iamdiddy)

Over the weekend, Diddy became Dr. Diddy as he received an honorary degree from Howard University.

The mogul was all smiles while he addressed the fellow graduates of 2014 with his memorable commencement speech.

Diddy talked about how his mother struggled to pay for his schooling at Howard, the fun times he had during his two year stay at Howard and even dropped a Biggie line in the first sentence of his speech.

Diddy also filled his speech with advice on taking risks, hashtags and some of his own catchphrases.

Eminem Makes Amends With His Mother in 'Headlights' Video

Just in time for Mother’s Day, Eminem addresses his tumultuous relationship with his mother in his new video for ‘Headlights.’

In the heartfelt clip, directed by Spike Lee, we follow Slim Shady’s mother, Debbie Mathers, as she makes several attempts to reunite with her son after years of being estranged from him. The video also features personal footage and photos of Em’s childhood growing up in 8 mile in Detroit.

It’s unclear if Debbie Mathers is actually involved in the video because we don’t see her face. At the end of the visual, she sheds tears while reading an apologetic letter from her son.

“It’s a great, great story. It’s heartfelt, some pain in it, but that’s life,” said Lee about the cinematic video. “So that’s why we’re here, back in the ‘hood, 8 Mile Detroit, shooting where all this took place.”

Watch Eminem’s video dedicated to his mother above.

Happy Mother’s Day!
