Take The L Trends After Sister Administering Proper Fade Video Makes Rounds On Social Media
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: DjelicS / Getty Here at Hip-Hop Wired, we’re not keen to show violent videos of fights but today we’re making a slight exception. A video making its rounds on social media of a vicious fight between two young women has “Take The L” trending for all the right and wrong reasons. On April 10, @@BarbieTheeStar shared an older video from the @JustGirlFight Twitter account, which hosts a bunch of street fades of all sorts. In this particular clash, a young Black woman in a green top and Black pants squared up with another shorter young woman wearing all Black. It was clear that the taller woman knew how to throw down, literally and otherwise. The shorter young lady had no chance and the fight was all but done after she was kicked in the face by the ...
Twitter Reacts To Viral Sip & Paint Video
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: South_agency / Getty A new viral video has spread across social media (and btw, my use of the words “viral” and “spread” will take on new meanings as you continue to read) and folks on Twitter are having a field day with it. What’s going on in the video reportedly took place during a sip and paint event. Now, for those of you who don’t know what a sip and paint event is, it’s one where patrons drink wine while a professional artist leads them in painting their own art pieces. Some of you might be thinking to yourselves: “Bro, we ain’t stupid and you don’t need to explain to us what a sip and paint event is—it’s pretty much in the title.” Well, yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you? However, the people depicted in the video may not have understood the a...
School Teacher Goes Viral for Awesome Korn Version of the Alphabet Song: Watch
A metal-loving school teacher has reinvented the alphabet song, and he’s blowing up TikTok in the process. Nick Harrison’s aggro version of the ABCs, set to Korn’s “Coming Undone”, even got the attention of the pioneering nu-metal band’s singer, Jonathan Davis. Harrison, who goes by the TikTok handle MrProfessor318, titled his video “My audition for School of Rock 2,” and it features the educator going full-on headbanger from A to Z. The loud lesson in literacy has earned Harrison more than 130,000 likes as of this posting. Davis shared the clip on his Instagram Stories, and Harrison acknowledged the Korn singer’s shout out in follow-up TikToks. “When Jonathan Davis, the lead singer of Korn, of course, posts your video to his Instagram story — I can’t even talk, man!,” the teacher exclaime...
Tessica Brown AKA “Gorilla Glue Lady” Denies Jacking Up Hair For Clout, Says GoFundMe Money Is For Wigs
Source: Rachpoot/MEGA / Getty The “Gorilla Glue Lady” saga continues. Tessica Brown (40) denies claims and rumors that she purposely put Gorilla Glue in her hair to make money. The woman who will forever be referred to as “Gorilla Glue Lady” has become somewhat of a polarizing figure since she decided to get on social media and share her ordeal with the world. Brown has since raised over $18,000 in donations sent to her GoFundMe fundraiser, which initially only asked for $1,500. Her social media accounts have now been verified, and she has even gained international attention for her purposeful but still regrettable mishap. But, eventually, the concern and empathy she was once getting when her story went viral have now turned to side-eyes with people no longer buying what she is selli...

Dogs Dance Competitively to Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”: Watch
People can go their whole lives without discovering some of the world’s true marvels. Thankfully, a viral Tweet has drawn attention to one of the most amazing competitions no one knew about: dogs dancing competitively to such songs as Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life”, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, and Ylvis’ “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)”. Technically, the contest is called “International Freestyle Heelwork to Music”, and it takes place during the UK’s annual Crufts dog show and competition. While video of the 2020 event was posted back in April, a recent Twitter share of a dog and trainer dancing to Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” has shown a new spotlight on the amazing competition everyone’s been missing. It’s hard to pick who’s more entertaining, the dogs or the trainers (some in ...
COVID-Exorcising Televangelist Goes Heavy Metal in Viral Video: Watch
“Judgement on COVID-19 goes HEAVY METAL [Kenneth Copeland Remix] [I Demand]”, via YouTube Fire-and-brimstone televangelist Kenneth Copeland is unlikely to enter the dark embrace of heavy metal anytime soon, but one YouTube guitarist has made a valid argument for the Texas pastor’s prospects as a metal frontman. Andres Antunes took Copeland’s recent COVID-19 “exorcism” and laid down some riffs under it, creating one of the most chilling and absurd mashups since Metal Trump. Titled “Judgement on COVID-19 goes HEAVY METAL [Kenneth Copeland Remix] [I Demand]”, Antunes’ video is going viral, having already approached 500,000 views. Copeland’s commanding sermons are terrifying in their own right — especially the COVID one — making Antunes’ decision to combine them with metal riffs all the ...
#EndSARS: Thugs who attacked protesters in Abuja were brought by Senator’s aides – Ex-DSS director
Former Assistant Director in the Department of State Services (DSS), Dennis Amachree, said the hoodlums that attacked ENDSARS in Abuja were brought to the protest ground by aides of an unnamed senator. During the week, a video that went viral showed some hoodlums were seen joining some men in black suits in a sports utility vehicle (SUV) and drove towards the protesters. The men, who many believed to be operatives of the DSS and the hoodlums were seen along Adetokunbo Ademola crescent in Wuse 2 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). But while speaking Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, Amachree said the DSS headquarters confirmed to him that the men in the SUV were working for a senator. He said, “I don’t want to follow the style of the army where they said people can buy uni...
Mick Fleetwood Joins TikTok Just to Recreate Viral “Dreams” Video: Watch
In the midst of one of the craziest, darkest weeks in a crazy, dark year, a viral TikTok video brought joy to the world. User @420doggface208, aka Nathan Apodaca, became an overnight star simply by posting a clip of himself skateboarding and drinking Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice while singing along to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”. Now, the band’s own Mick Fleetwood has launched his own TikTok account — just to pay tribute to Apodaca’s video. The legendary musician posted his own version of the clip, in which he rolls along (it seems he’s being pulled somehow) and sips from a full bottle of Ocean Spray. Making his lip-synching to his bandmate Stevie Nicks’ lyrics even sweeter is that there appears to be a light drizzle coming down. Even on such a gray day, there is something so blissfully p...

Following an epic virtual drum duel, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has written a theme song for his worthy challenger, 10-year-old wunderkind Nandi Bushell.

10-Year-Old Nandi Bushell Continues Drum-Off with Dave Grohl by Rocking Them Crooked Vultures Song: Watch
