Black Twitter Drags Tory Lanez After Smiley Face Mugshot Goes Viral
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Nothing quite says, “yeah, I’m guilty AF” like when a convicted criminal’s mugshot is indistinguishable from a high school yearbook photo. As you all know, Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot, and now his mugshot has recently been released and is currently being dragged up and down Black Twitter for looking like a stock photo used for Devry University ads.

What Is ChatGPT? & Why Are Teachers Worried About It
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NurPhoto / Getty / ChatGPT Technology, explicitly using artificial intelligence in the classroom, is not a novel idea. It’s welcomed in most cases, but this one form of A.I. called ChatGPT has teachers across the country worrying. Right off the bat, we know you are asking what ChatGPT is; well, it’s an OpenAI-developed chatbot that is fully capable of writing complete essays plus can, solve math and science problems, oh and can also create working computer code. That all sounds great, and it is, but the chatbot is already causing educators to panic following its November release. As expected, cheating has become an issue with ChatGPT use among students. Students are using the A.I. generated essays and passing it off as their work forcing teachers and scho...
03 Greedo Released From Prison on Parole
03 Greedo has been released on parole from the Texas prison where he had been held since 2018, when he received a 20-year sentence for drug and gun possession. After a successful parole hearing in late June, Greedo spent the past several weeks completing a program to earn his freedom. He put out a mixtape celebrating his release, Free 03, on Tuesday, January 10.

The National are teasing something new. Matt Berninger and co. have taken to social media to share a new teaser clip, which depicts the vocalist at a piano bench with a coffee mug and copy of the classic Mary Shelly novel Frankenstein.

Paxslim Traverses Berlin For All-New “Topp” Visual
If Lil Yachty took the ‘wok’ to Poland last year, then it’s only right that the Holy boy, Paxslim, sneaks his Holy water across borders too. The Swiss-based artist has released an all-new video for his latest track “Topp,” which finds the 21 year old rapper escaping to Berlin in Ravani over playful Bloody9ine production. Directed by Noyan and Nana, Pax’s day-in-the-life style lets fans in on hip-hop’s best kept secret. After dropping his fluorescent music video for “Colors,” Paxslim wrapped last year just as strong as he began it, releasing two videos — “Walking Smooth,” a song that lulls you into good vibes, produced by Yeat and Lancey Foux’s frequent collaborator, UK producer, Luca Malaspina; and “Dem Fast,” a chant showcasing his inimitable range across a series of micro-genr...
Female Iranian Artists Unite for Electronic Compilation Supporting Mahsa Amini Protests

“DJ, Please Pick Up Your Phone”: Skrillex Teases Massive Collaboration With Missy Elliott
When Missy Elliott said, “DJ, please pick up your phone—I’m on the request line” in 2002, little did she know Skrillex would be on the other end over 20 years later. They’re now turning back the clock to the turn of the century, when everyone put their thang down, flipped it and reversed it. The formidable tandem of chart-topping artists have joined forces for a new track which interpolates lyrics from “Work It,” Elliott’s timeless hip-hop anthem. And if there’s anyone to breathe new life into Missy’s classic “ra-ta-ta” onomatopoeia, it’s Skrillex. Watch him work it onstage in London, where he recently dropped the banging electronic and hip-hop hybrid live: Elliott has also been teasing the song on Twitter, leading man...
