Teyana Taylor is back at it again directing in starting in video for “You (Be There),” where she was a feature on T.I.’s  Dime Trap album, which was released last year. 

The nearly 13-minute clip, which doubles as a visual for her T.I. collaboration “You” and the London Jae-assisted “Be There,” has them taking matters into their own hands, as armed vigilantes who are out to fight evil and save their community. 

In one scene they bursting into the church and shooting the preacher in the head in front of his congregation. They then free a group of women who are being held against their will and gun down a corrupt cop.

In between fighting bad guys, they reflect on their romantic relationship, which goes back to childhood. During their violent encounter with the cop, Teyana gets shot and dies in front of Tip’s eyes. The video ends with a powerful message about sexual abuse and child sex trafficking in Atlanta, which has one of the highest incident rates in America.

The next venture for T.I. is Netflix’s new hip-hop competition series “Rhythm + Flow.”  He’ll appear alongside Cardi B and Chance the Rapper. The 10 hour-long episodes will roll out over the course of three weeks starting Oct. 9.

As for Teyana Taylor she continued her streak of directing videoed for artists such as Monica, Lil Durk, and ScHoolboy Q.

BREAKING NEWS: New York Giants Announce Daniel Jones Will Start in Week 3

BREAKING NEWS: New York Giants Announce Daniel Jones Will Start in Week 3

Featured

by | Sep 17, 2019 | Featured, NFL

With the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, everyone expected the New York Giants to take a quarterback. The surprise was which one they ended up taking.

They selected Daniel Jones out of Duke. Like former starter, and two-time Super Bowl MVP, he was coached by David Cutcliffe in college.

Many analysts did not consider him worthy of being the second quarterback off the board on draft night.

Then came preseason and Jones put up the most impressive numbers of any QB that took the field. Slowly the pressure on the Giants to get the rookie on the field grew.

Now, two weeks—and two losses—into the season the team is giving him his shot.

With Eli running the show the Giants amassed 550 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on 89 pass attempts this year. Hardly winning numbers, especially in today’s pass-happy league.

Manning comes from a previous regime. General manager David Gettleman didn’t draft him and head coach Pat Shurmur is only in his second season with the team. They are heavily invested in Jones and are now handing the fate of this season to him.

Many have made the comparison that Jones is essentially a younger version of Eli and maybe that’s all this team needs to turn things around. Worst case, Jones gets his feet wet and comes back next year with more in-game experience.

Jones will make his first start Sunday on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

BREAKING NEWS: Minkah Fitzpatrick Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers

BREAKING NEWS: Minkah Fitzpatrick Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers

Featured

by | Sep 17, 2019 | Featured, NFL

Just a few days after receiving the okay from the Miami Dolphins, Minkah Fitzpatrick is headed to a new team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers sent their 2020 first-round pick to the Dolphins in exchange for the versatile defensive back.

For Miami, it continues their fire sale and also leaves them well stockpiled with future draft picks as they aim to secure their quarterback of the future within the next couple of drafts.

The Steelers meanwhile get a player who can play safety, slot corner and in the box against the run—exactly what their defense has been missing since Troy Polomalu was in his prime.

Pittsburgh just lost Ben Roethlisberger for the year but by giving up their first round pick it would signify that the team has faith that Mason Rudolph can hold down the fort—or that Roethlisberger is going to come back in good form next year.

At 0-2 they needed to act fast or risk falling out of the playoff chase before the race even began.

For a league that is often criticized for its lack of player movement the 2019 season has turned that stereotype on its head.

BREAKING NEWS: Jalen Ramsey Requests Trade From Jacksonville Jaguars

BREAKING NEWS: Jalen Ramsey Requests Trade From Jacksonville Jaguars

Featured

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, NFL

While seemingly every big name player was getting a new contract this offseason, Jalen Ramsey and the Jacksonville Jaguars were unable to reach an agreement on a new deal for the All-Pro cornerback.

Ramsey feels he’s worth top-dollar and hasn’t backed down from that position. He showed up to training camp in a Brinks truck.

Just two games into the 2019 NFL season, Ramsey’s agent has gone to the team and requested that the team trade his client.

On Sunday, Ramsey and Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone got into a heated argument on the sidelines, which was captured by the CBS camera crew.

According to reports, Ramsey’s issues stem from this confrontation along with the ways the team has been using him. He prefers to be used as a true man-to-man shutdown corner—following the opposing team’s best wide receiver around the field regardless of where he is lined up—instead of a mix of man and zone as the Jaguars play currently.

The trade request was allegedly made in the aftermath of Jacksonville’s 13-12 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 2.

The team selected Ramsey fifth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft and he immediately became one of the league’s best corners.

Jacksonville has spoken with interested teams but no deal is expected to materialize anytime soon. The Jaguars are asking for at least one future first-round pick in return for Ramsey in any deal.

Primetime Preview: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets

Primetime Preview: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets

Featured

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, NFL

Tonight’s Monday Night battle is between two franchises undergoing complete renovation. With new Head Coaches, 2nd year starting QBs and a plethora of free agent acquisitions, what once would have been the most boring primetime game of the season turns into a compelling matchup between trending teams. 

Unfortunately, the Jets will not be at full strength. Reports came out this week that starting QB Sam Darnold will be sidelined for close to six weeks with Mono. Star free agent pick up Le’Veon Bell also sustained a minor shoulder injury, but the MRI showed no significant damage which is encouraging. 

Both squads had a rough week 1. The Jets fumbled away a two touchdown lead to the Bills and the Browns got smacked down at home versus the Titans. This is a bounce back opportunity for both teams, so expect each teams best effort.

Freddy Kitchens has some work to do on his offensive line. Baker Mayfield was under duress the whole game against the Titans, resulting in hurried throws and the inability to sustain drives. They fell behind early as well which forced them to abandon the run game in the second half. 

Vegas currently has Cleveland as -6.5 road favorites to defeat New York, largely in part to the absence of QB Sam Darnold. Trevor Sieman will get the start as his replacement. After two extremely average seasons with the Denver Broncos, Sieman has bounced around as a backup, finding a home in New York after spending 2018 with the Vikings. 

Don’t expect to see much firepower from the Jets offense tonight. Le’Veon Bell has the possibility for a big game, as the Titans were effective in moving the ball on the ground with Derrick Henry against the Browns. The Jets offensive line doesn’t have the same talent, but Bell could still see tons of work. 

The Jets may also be without two key defenders C.J Mosley and Quinnen Williams. Mosley took home a pick six in their week 1 loss to the Bills. Both are listed as questionable as of now, and it will likely come down to a game time decision after pre-game warm ups. Losing these two would be huge, and could lead to a blowout here on Monday Night.

Adidas Has Sure-Fire Hit on Their Hands With the Harden Vol. 4

Adidas Has Sure-Fire Hit on Their Hands With the Harden Vol. 4

Featured

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers, uncategorised

Last week Adidas officially unveiled the Harden Vol. 4 – the fourth installment in James Harden’s signature sneaker line. Just four years ago Harden made the jump from ‘The Swoosh’ to The Brand With the Three Stripes, and hasn’t looked back since. He has become the face of Adidas basketball and has the best-selling Adidas signature sneaker. The Three Stripes is looking for their $200 million dollar man to further carry the load come this 2019-20 season.

 

       

 

The Adidas Harden Vol. 4 looks to be the first version in his line to not feature Adidas Boost technology. Harden’s fourth signature sneaker instead looks to use Lightstrike technology in the midsole, the same cushion set-up used in the Adidas N3XT L3V3L. While the Harden Vol. 3 was rather simple in design compared to its counterparts, the Vol. 4 adds more depth in construction using overlays, a variety of materials, and even more premium set-ups that include suedes and nubucks. The 2017-18 NBA Most Valuable Player had a record-breaking season last year and will surely look to reclaim his MVP throne this season while sporting his new shoe. Look for Harden’s fellow Adidas endorsers like Kyle Lowry, Zach LaVine, Jamal Murray, and Austin Rivers to rep the Vol. 4 during the 2019-20 campaign. Also expect Adidas’ marquee college programs like Kansas, Louisville, Washington, and Miami to have the Harden Vol. 4 as part of their on-court rotation this season. The first Adidas Harden Vol. 4 will release October 12th and will retail for $130. More colorways will release come late October and into early November.
