That viewpoint ignores the fact that snowboarding and Hip-hop have been a winning combination before, with Naughty By Nature’s “Feel Me Flow” video from 1995 as a major example as MTV showcased the sport before ESPN picked up the baton with their X-Games. Hip-Hop’s impact on the sport can be seen in figures such as Shaun White, who holds the most Olympic gold medals for the sport and Chloe Kim, the youngest woman to ever win an Olympic gold medal. More importantly, there have been notable Black figures holding it down as snowboarders from back then such as Russel Winfield, Keir Dill...

As spotted on Hype Beast the speculation surrounding the A$AP Mob continues to be a hot topic.

This is blood in, blood out… because it’s not a contractual thing that makes me Mob. We was Mob before music.” He would go on fu...

Though Ferg has remained quiet since the shocking move and has continued to use A$AP regardless of his group status, it seems like the Harlem rapper is ready to address the situation on an upcoming track dubbed “Big A$AP.” During a conversation with Hot 97, Ferg told Ebro that those social media posts weren’t a publicity stunt and were “really real. It was something super petty but to make a long story short, I address it in a song called “Big A$AP” that I’m adding on to the project in a week… So the song is called “Big A$AP” and you’re gonna get all the answ...
