🍽 Eddie Huang is back

🎵 Westside Gunns wrestling album release

🩳 This drop has the shorts I want so badly

Everyone and their mother had to delete their life to make space for GTA 6 this week and we still got a week to go before you can play.

So in the mean time, you get the music.

Now this is supposedly leaked online and not officially confirmed from Rockstar but here’s the alleged first 10 tracks from the Vice City Hip Hop station.

And who cares if it’s real or not, it’s a good playlist regardless.

(follow the playlist so you don’t have to think of what to play while you’re staring aimlessly at the person in front of you on the bus)

One of the biggest generational fumbles of our time is what happened to Vice…or better put, what Vice did to itself.

Before eventually filing for bankruptcy in 2024, Vice was THE go-to destination on YouTube. Their journalism was was akin to the work Andrew Callaghan is doing today.

The world got introduced to a whole lot of great talent that went on to do bigger and better things, including Mr. Eddie Huang.

Starting with Fresh off the Boat, Eddie eventually got his own full Vice show, Huang’s World, where he basically became the Asian hood Anthony Bourdain - it was very enjoyable to watch.

So it sucked when Vice went under because, between Eddie and Action Bronson, Desus and Mero, and the occasional Vice news segment, I had what to watch on YouTube weekly.

The thing about Eddie is that he’s a very very smart dude. He can chop it up with you in the hood on a street corner. And he can also sit down at the fanciest of establishments and discuss East vs West politics like he worked for a political think tank.

Eddie Huang is the definition of if you can think it, you can do it:

Eddie recently brought back Huang’s World, this time co-hosted with his wife. The show’s premise has shifted from travelling the world eating to a chill, dinner with friends vibe in 12 min episodes.

The first episode came out this week.

I was convinced the album release for Ice Man was never going to be topped. Drake absolutely crushed the whole production, you already know what went down.

But Westside Gunn just put on a full sold out indie wrestling event last night at the Melrose Ballroom in New York (IYKYK) to promote the release of his new album, Heelmatic.

Run through his wrestling promotion, 4th Rope, it was live streamed on YouTube. This thing was legit man. In between matches a DJ played tracks from the album and artists came out and rapped.

If you pay any attention to how Westside Gunn moves you know it’s very curated. Case in point, his customized merch sells out instantly every time he drops anything.

I’m sitting on IG watching his stories as he’s posting all the merch that was sold last night and I’m just sitting there at peace knowing I have no hope in ever purchasing any of it so at least I’m saving the cash.

Oh right, Heelmatic dropped too.

It’s your typical WSG production - a lot of BOOP BOOP BOOP BOOP. And it’s always great to hear his Griselda mates on tracks with him although I wish all three of them would be on a track together, it’s been a while.

That said, it’s a pretty good album if you’re looking for that boom bap style rap production. I’ll need to listen to it again when it’s not 12:30AM.

I think this is the coolest drop the NBA has ever done tbh.

The Miami Heat are doing a Vice City (GTA 6) drop in partnership with Travis Scott next Wednesday. That night the Heat will play in the Vice City uniforms as well.

You can already purchase Vice City merch from the Miami Heat shop. It took so much will power not to buy anything. I love how Miami has fully leaned into its Vice City persona for this merch drop.

So glad I’m not a Heat fan, this stuff is so fire.

Everything is sold out released next week on November 18th.
