Squabble Up still slaps two months later and even when mixed with Espresso.

The entire Grammy's audience singing along to the "A Minor" lyric was truly a sight to behold.

Forget Jalen Hurts, QB Eagles is the GOAT

I'd like to see a QB run for 600 yards this weekend. People need to put some respect on Randall Cunningham's name!

Chad Johnson did what? To his what?

Props to the dude for being honest about his insecurities, I guess. Stephen A. even offered to not air this part on his show...

Project Pat x Hanumankind

It's only right for Hanumankind to be featured on a Project Pat track. Love to see this!

This Ash and Pikachu origin story blew my mind

Can any other Pokemasters confirm if this is true or not? Either way, this just makes Pikachu's lore that much cooler!

We are... King Venom?

I can finally play as King Venom in Spider-Man 2

That's a very cool mod!

More music!

Don't sleep on JID.

I applaud the swagger of Doechii having a new single ready to drop to celebrate her Grammy's win. She rules.
