A few weeks ago a random white girl named Hailey Welch had social media on fire when she described how to pleasure a man when she “spit on that thang” with a “hauk tuah!” And with all the memes that one moment spawned, Plies has decided to take some of that momentum and create a whole song around that sexual sentiment.

In his new visuals for “Hawk Tuah,” Plies shows just how he likes his women to give him that “hawk tuah!” by getting his “mic checked” in a public bathroom before getting some more of the same treatment in the comfort of his own home. The man didn’t waste any time banking off that hawk tuah hype.

Elsewhere Fat Trel and Millyz make a D.C. to Boston connection happen and in their clip for “Airplane Mode,” the two artists take to the rooftops of the buildings of Bean Town before hopping on a boat with some thick and exotic young women.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Honey Baby featuring Fivio Foreign, RJmrLA, and more.

Political commentator Van Jones has been offering heavy praise of the Republican National Convention, earning him heavy pushback from social media users.
The Republican National Convention came to a close in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. on Thursday night (July 18). While some political commentators pointed out the various missteps made by GOP politicians, Van Jones has been steadily praising the energy at the convention.
“I wanna say something. This spirit that this guy has, you guys think that’s because he’s drunk. He’s not,” he said during a discussion on Wednesday (July 17), pointing at the convention crowd. “This whole thing is like this. The last time I was in a convention that felt like this was Obama 2008. There’s something happening.”The declaration led one of the other panelists to remark, “You just wrote a headline, by the way.”
That was prefaced by other gushing remarks made by Jones about some of the speeches given during the convention, beginning with his view of Amber Rose after her speech on Monday night (July 16).
“That was probably the most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition,” Jones said. “That is a young woman of color. She is describing the experience that a lot of people have — feeling that maybe, if you’re around too many liberals, you might get criticized too much or you might not be able to speak your mind, and she spoke to it really well. And she’s way more famous than any of us up here — I’m going to tell you that — way more famous.”
Van Jones would also gush over Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ speech, saying her remarks were “incredibly compelling…extremely powerful.”
The praise would come to a halt after Donald Trump’s speech on Thursday.
“If Biden had given a speech that incoherent, that rambling, that undisciplined, Democrats would’ve hit Biden with a tranquilizer dart and drug him off,” he said. “Trump was boring … undisciplined … he basically was the worst part of his own convention.”
The pattern of praise from Jones left a sour taste in the mouths of many on social media. D.L. Hughley was among those criticizing how much the CNN commentator seemed to be all for the Republicans and pointedly criticized him for thinking the convention had any resemblance to the effect of Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Below are some of the best responses to Van Jones’ remarks on social media.

Cardi B and Joe Budden have what appears to be a contentious connection after the famed podcast host mentioned the rapper and entertainer on a recent episode of his eponymously named podcast. After saying that Cardi B will only release singles from this point on, the Bronx star fired shots at Joe Budden in an X Spaces rant.
On episode 742 of The Joe Budden Podcast, a discussion surrounding Rob49’s new “On Dat Money” single and video featuring Cardi B cropped up with the cast pondering if a sophomore album was coming from the “Bodak Yellow” rapper. Budden quipped that Cardi won’t release an album, a refrain he has uttered in previous episodes, stating that she’s now becoming a “singles” artist.
The comments made their way to Cardi, who hopped on Spaces Thursday night (July 18) and unleashed a fiery tirade of words towards the retired lyricist and popular media personality.
“Bro I gave you a lap dance two times in Starlets,” Cardi says in leaked audio of the Spaces event. “You was high as f*ck. High as f*ck on coke, n*gga. I don’t give a f*ck when people talk sh*t about me. It’s the fact you always talk sh*t about me, Joe Budden. Out of nowhere, you would think I did something to this n*gga. For the past two years, this n*gga has only talked bad things about me.”
Starlets is a popular strip club in Queens that Budden and his castmates are known to frequent.
While it is true that Budden has been a tough critic of Cardi, he’s also heaped heavy praise and even hailed her debut album Invasion Of Privacy one of his favorite projects of the modern era along with other positive commentary.
On X, Budden fired off a string of replies stating that he’ll no longer mention Cardi on his program.
“I promise you and can assure you, i will not cover a single thing this girl does for the remainder of her career… Peace & love,” began the thread. “I have also never gotten a lap dance from this lady. I also have never done coke.”
Cardi also took to X and shared a message with her fans regarding her passionate response to Budden.
I wanna say this to Bardi gang or anybody who’s just a fan of my music or even my craziness… I have my good days and my bad days but you know what, whether it’s good or bad I couldn’t be happier with the obvious anticipation for my album..Sometimes I get a little aggressive because yall know I don’t like to be told what to do but I promise you it’s coming THIS YEAR. Thank you for the love and anticipation and always holding me down

On X, the reactions to Cardi B firing shots at Joe Budden are coming in fast. We’ve got reactions below.

Big Sean was prepping for the follow-up to his 2020 studio album Detroit 2 but suffered a leak of the impending full-length project. After the album made its rounds on social media, fans on X shared rather mixed reactions to Big Sean’s latest body of work.
Fresh off a blistering On The Radar freestyle, Big Sean is the latest artist to be hit with a leak of their work, perhaps due to the digital nature of music in the modern era. While it hasn’t been revealed how the album made its way across the Internet, the Detroit rapper seems to be taking it in stride and even teased a new song with production from The Alchemist. Some might recall that Sean appeared on Larry June and The Alchemist’s collaborative album The Great Escape.

Although we’re big fans of Sean, it seems like some on Xitter have their perception of the former G.O.O.D. Music artists. Comments ranged from acknowledging Sean’s skill as an MC while others panned some of his punchline choices. Again, Sean Don has taken similar shots in the past and it hasn’t stopped his grind, which he’s been on since a teenager.
As it stands, Big Sean is definitely in album mode and seemingly confirmed the validity of the leak that hit the Web. We’ve got reactions to the leak from all sides below.

Footage of Donald Trump appearing to fall asleep at the Republican National Convention stirred up social media users with some claiming he was praying.On Monday (July 15), the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin kicked off with Donald Trump having a moment that went viral for the wrong reasons. Despite the standing ovations and constant attention bestowed upon him in his first public appearance since the attempt on his life at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday (July 13), at one point he appeared to fall asleep.

The moment was captured during MSNBC’s primetime coverage of the convention, helmed by a panel of Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, Alex Wagner, and Lawrence O’Donnell. Maddow brought attention to Trump, seated in the VIP box with his eyes closed and viewers seeing them both on a split screen. Those who support Trump went on the offensive, claiming that the moment was captured during a moment of prayer being held in the FiServ Forum during that time. In posts on X, formerly Twitter, defenders of Trump actively used the Community Notes feature introduced by owner Elon Musk to add that correction to posts containing the video.
Others, however, publicly disputed that idea, noting the length of time that Trump appeared to be asleep. They also called out how some media outlets had been pushing the narrative of President Joe Biden being too old and too slow to be commander-in-chief. Biden is 81, while Trump is 77. The moment of Trump’s reported nodding off was a sharp contrast to when convention attendees first saw Trump arrive, with his right ear clad in a white bandage as he strode out to the VIP box in the arena.
Trump has had a moment where he was caught napping before. It took place during the election interference “hush money” trial involving adult film star Stormy Daniels in May, with one journalist capturing the moment Trump slept in a thread on X, formerly Twitter.
We’ve collected some of the more popular reactions to Trump’s reported dozing on social media below.

Big Sean has been an active rapper since a teenager and has been a major part of significant Hip-Hop moments over the years. Via a new On The Radar freestyle, Big Sean aimed some bars at an unnamed foe which fans on X assumed were about Kendrick Lamar.
Given the still-buzzing nature of the war of words between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the On The Radar freestyle was heavily dissected due to the Detroit rapper’s connection to both rappers. Most might remember that K-Dot delivered perhaps the hardest verse in 2013 on Sean’s “Control” track which also featured Jay Electronica. In that song, Lamar aimed shots at several top rappers and put names on the bullet, sparking a flurry of responses and disrupting the industry.

Sean’s On The Radar freestyle, which is delivered over fellow Detroit native, the late Aaliyah‘s track “If Your Girl Only Knew,” opens with bars that were open for interpretation.
“I had to switch the home team ’cause they committed treason/N*ggas looking for engagement like they got their knee bent/I got better things to do than to find someone to beef with,” rapped Sean. The initial knee-jerk reaction was that the bars were inspired by the top rap beef of 2024 so far but DJ Hed, who is close to Lamar, said that it’s about another popular figure who shares Lamar’s zodiac sign.
“I talked to Sean. The bar was ‘I got better things to do than find someone to beef with’ [a]nd it was not for Dot. Bar was directed at a different Gemini,” DJ Hed shared on X. The other Gemini in this equation would assumed to be Ye aka Kanye West but nothing has been confirmed.

There exists beef between Big Sean and Ye after the Chicago producer and designer said that signing Sean to G.O.O.D. Music was a terrible decision on his Drink Champs episode.
On X, formerly Twiter, reactions to Big Sean’s On The Radar verse are in and we’ve got them all below.

Amber Rose delivered a speech on the opening night of the Republican National Convention supporting Donald Trump, and social media users derided her for attending. On Monday (July 15), reality television star and model Amber Rose took the stage at the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Rose was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd. “I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United States,” she began. “I’m no politician and I don’t wanna be, but I do care about the truth, and the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump,” the model added, claiming she “did her research”. “I know this because for a long time, I believed those lies.”
“I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay or straight. It’s all love,” Rose continued. “And that’s when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong.”
That line drew another raucous ovation from the gathered crowd of supporters, politicians, and delegates. “The left told me to hate Trump and even worse, to hate the other side — the people who support him. When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth: American families were better when Donald Trump was president. We were safer, wealthier and stronger,” she concluded.
The speech compelled CNN senior political commentator Van Jones to say afterward that the 40-year-old’s remarks represented the “most dangerous speech for the Democratic coalition,” and “the most effective” on the convention’s first night.
“And she’s way more famous than any of us up here — I’m going to tell you that — way more famous. And so to the extent that these guys are trying to bust up our coalition, that was a bunker buster right there,” he added. But many more derided Rose – and Jones – afterward on social media, referencing her past relationship with Ye aka Kanye West as her main claim to fame and also calling out her confrontation with reality show star Joseline Hernandez on BET’s College Hill where the latter flatly stated that Rose “wanted to be a white girl”.
Take a look at some of the more striking reactions to Amber Rose’s RNC speech below.

Shakur Stevenson is the current WBC Lightweight champion and made a successful defense of his title over the weekend against Artem Harutyunyan in Stevenson’s hometown of Newark, N.J. The fight was reportedly not a thrilling one, with Cam’Ron and Ma$e critiquing Stevenson’s performance, promoting a fiery tirade from the boxer online that has now erupted into a true war of words.
Shakur Stevenson, 27, was made aware of the disdain that not only fight fans but his corner also noticed on July 6. Many times throughout the fight, Stevenson’s corner pleaded with him to throw punches but Harutyunyan was also relatively inactive. This performance caught the eye of Cam’Ron and Ma$e, who had some things to say on their It Is What It Is sports talk program.
Much of the vitriol from Stevenson landed in the direction of Ma$e, and we’ll share some of the Xitter replies in question in the gallery below. Let’s just say that it’s very much up for Stevenson against the It Is What It Is hosts.
The artist born Mason Betha responded to Stevenson with a menacing drawl letting it be known in so many words that it can turn to beef if it needs to. Killa Cam also added some sauce on top of the brewing beef, telling Stevenson that street boxing isn’t the same as boxing in the ring.
Despite enjoying his recent title defense, Shakur Stevenson has been going off on Xitter, which made Ma$e and Cam’Ron essentially say that the boxer is crashing out.
Check out the chatter and reactions below.

This Wednesday (July 10), cannabis enthusiasts, especially those who dab, will partake in a holiday with dubious origins but no less celebrated than 420. 710 Day, which we’ll try to explain below, is centered on the cannabis delivery methods of dabbing, hash oil, concentrates, and the devices that make it all possible.
According to an article posted by The Leaf Online, 710 Day was created to celebrate the use of dabs, oils, and concentrates. It is largely attributed to rapper, cannabis activist, and industry innovator, Taskrok.
More from The Leaf Online:
“710 (at least the 710 buzz that has grown today) was started in TinyChat with me, Healthstone, and the Beehive guys. They suggested we make a new time to take dabs at as they didn’t really resonate with 420 anymore. I was the one who suggested 710 because it clicked in my head that it spelled oil upside down.” Task went on in the comments to make his views on the matter of ownership clear, “I don’t want to try to own it though. It belongs to the community now.”
The article goes into far deeper depth and it’s worth a read if you’re wondering how the 710 Movement became powerful enough to inspire a brand new, cannabis-focused holiday.
My own experiences with dabbing have been a journey as well. The late Rico Valderrama, better known to the cannabis industry as Phone Homie, was the first person who taught me about the practice. In essence, dabbing is vaporizing small amounts of cannabis oil, resin, or concentrates using what’s known as a dab rig — a device that uses a heated nail to vaporize whatever the product is being used to produce a potent hit on inhale that will be unlike anything you can find in smoking flower.
Dabbing can also apply to vaporizer pens that can either hold a screw-on pre-filled oil cartridge, or load in your preferred concentrate which goes under many names such as shatter, wax, budder, etc.
Phone Homie was more than just an activist and brand creator. He also educated newbies like me on the effectiveness of dabbing, the fact it caused less waste, and the feeling experienced was, in a word, cleaner. I’ll be the first to admit that dabbing is a lot easier thanks to various e-rigs, basically updated versions of the standard dab rigs of old.
Below, you’ll see several brands we’ve featured in our past 420 guides along with products and suggestions for those who wish to join the celebration. As always, consume cannabis as responsibly as you can and be sure to keep away from those under the age requirements in your respective states.
Happy 710 Day to all!

I visited my first Cookies location in July when I visited San Diego for work and it was like a wonderland in there. Seriously, I wish all cannabis stores had this level of customer service. Anyway, enough gushing. The brand founded by rapper and businessman Berner has a new vape device aimed to deliver synergy and effects unlike any you’ve experienced before via its Dual Chamber Vapes. I have to get my hands on one of these bad boys soon.

Eyce is a brand that’s new to me and I’m learning that they’re into the business of making durable smoking pipes due to the propensity of some of us having butter fingers. Their OraFlex design is a combination of the brand’s signature silicon pieces with all the benefits of using a glass dab rig. Eyce also boasts that the OraFlex is easier to clean due to its removable mouthpiece.

This e-rig pairs with any glass-on-glass water piece and delivers optimal flavor, heat, and control. I don’t use it as often as I like but when I’m hanging out with friends, it’s always a good time.
