Love and Anarchy (Netflix series) — Do you want some atypical romcom business in your life to distract you from all the madness in the real world? Of course you do, but this Scandinavian series (which arrives with subtitles) might be a little too controversial to sit well. You can see the trailer here, and blackmail is involved with the stakes growing ever higher and unpredictable consequences to match.

Devils (CW, 8:00pm EST) — Patrick Dempsey’s Dominic is looking for his missing wife, and he then confronts Massimo about his cheating ways (with Dominic’s wife), and that leads to a whole lot of personal and financial drama, just like people like it.

Coroner (CW, 9:00pm EST) — A mass shooting investigation gets derailed by Jenny’s understandable exhaustion, but not without dangerous results

Jimmy Kimmel Live — Kanye West

The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon — Sarah Silverman, Steve Kornacki, Common

The Late Late Show With James Corden — Henry Winkler, The Kills

Late Night With Seth Meyers — Leslie Jones

In case you need some early Christmas viewing material, this dropped last Wednesday:

Holidate (Netflix film) — Here we go, everyone. The holiday season has officially begun, according to Netflix, which drops a romantic comedy starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey. Both their characters loathe the holidays, including family gatherings and friend-loaded celebrations, so despite being strangers, they make a pact to do the “holidate” thing with each other for a full year. Because this is a romcom, they will obviously vow to never have romantic feelings for each other, but you know how that always ends, right? Oh, let’s just embrace the clichés, already. It’s 2020.

The Detroit Lions will head to Minnesota this weekend to face the Vikings in a game that will be pivotal for their hopes of possibly making the playoffs. At 3-4, Detroit needs a win to get back to .500 on the season and keep at least some contact with the 5-3 Bears for a shot at second in the division and a wild card berth.

However, it now seems very possible that they will have to beat the Vikings without the services of their starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, as the team announced on Wednesday that Stafford was being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

As their statement notes, teams do not disclose whether a player that goes on the Reserve/COVID-19 list has tested positive or if it is due to close contact with someone who has and they have had to enter quarantine. There is obviously a big difference in the two, and the protocols for both are laid out here.

If this is due to a positive test, Stafford would not play Sunday and, possibly, could miss their game against the Washington Football Team next week as he would enter a 10-day quarantine. Should it be due to close contact, it would require a negative test and increased daily testing and symptom monitoring for Stafford to return. If he cannot play, Chase Daniel would get the start in his place for Detroit.

The top priority is, of course, the health of Stafford and those around him, and hopefully he and anyone else near him who has tested positive are able to be asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and make a full and speedy recovery.

After what seemed like an endless stream of weekly colossal drops, each worth wrecking your bank account over, we’re finally entering a calm week that will give our wallets some time to breathe. You know, before our favorite brands start dropping their holiday releases. Then it’s on again.

Overall, we’ve had a strong year for sneakers. If we lived in a world that didn’t have us shut inside due to a global pandemic, we might be seeing some new fashion trends. As it stands, whatever look ends might end up defining this decade are currently left hanging in our closets. To be shared only through pixelated Zoom calls.

With any luck, we’ll all be able to show off our new looks in 2021. Until then, let the collecting continue. Here are this week’s best sneaker and apparel drops.

Shoe Palace x New Balance 997S Great White

While this sneaker is obviously geared towards fans of the San Jose Sharks, it’s also just a flat-out dope design. This collaboration between New Balance and Shoe Palace is inspired by the Red Triangle — a location off the coast of Northern California, where almost half of the recorded Great White Shark attacks on humans have occurred.

A pretty dark inspiration for a sneaker, to be sure. But it does look cool.

The Shoe Palace New Balance 997S Great White is set to drop on November 5th for an unannounced retail price. Pick up a pair exclusively at Shoe Palace.

BBCICECREAM x Reebok Question Low Running Dog Collection

Billionaire Boys Club has been dropping multiple iterations of Reebok’s Question Low throughout the year, resulting in some of the silhouette’s coolest pastel ice cream parlor-inspired colorways. Now they’re bringing their Running Dog graphic to another three sneaker set. The purple iteration will drop globally this week, followed by two other colorways — a red and green version — which will launch in the Asian and European markets respectively, sometime next week. All three pairs are dope though, so if you’re digging on the red or green you’ll have to hit the aftermarket.

The BBCICECREAM Reebok Question Low Running Dog Collection is set to drop on November 6th for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair exclusively through the BBCICECREAM webstore.

3M Nike Air Force 1 React LX

When it comes to 3M Nike collabs, the designs tend to be hit or miss. It’s easy to dive too deep into the 3M Scotch gimmick, but every once in awhile the brands strike a comfortable middle ground that explains why this collaboration exists in the first place. The Air Force 1 React LX nails that middle ground.

Featuring an oversized outline Swoosh, the AF-1 React LX sports a caution tape-esque back half, with a striped Volt colorway and reflective 3M detailing. Other highlights include a Volt speckled laces, TPU tubing, and Nike’s modern React cushioning.

The 3M Nike Air Force 1 React LX is set to drop on November 5th for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair through Asphalt Gold and select Nike retailers.

Jaden Smith New Balance Vision Racer Yellow

Despite controversy, Jaden Smith and New Balance are gearing up to drop a new colorful iteration of their Vision Racer sneaker. For those who don’t know — New Balance is currently in the U.S. district court for the southern district of New York with a suit that claims that Jaden Smith’s Vision Racer is misleadingly close to Authentic Brands Group’s Vision Streetwear Brand. Looking at these shoes, we’re going to go ahead and say it: that’s ridiculous.

This banana yellow colorway of the Vision Racer is Smith’s best yet, with hi-vis taping, and a design that speaks to the young tastemaker’s tendency to push the boundaries of what modern streetwear can be. He’s not anywhere near the levels of an Abloh, Kanye or even Pharrel, but the kid is going somewhere.

The Jaden Smith New Balance Vision Racer in Yellow is set to drop on November 6th for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair at Nice Kicks.

University of Miami Adidas ZX 5000

Inspired by the University of Miami, this iteration of Adidas ZX 5000 silhouette is yet another sneaker collaboration that might turn you off because of its association with the team that inspired it. But if you don’t know anything about the Miami Hurricanes and could care less, this stands tall as a great design that combines premium leather with luxury-inspired chrome heel tabs… that just happen to be the colors rocked by the Miami Hurricanes.

The University of Miami Adidas ZX 5000 is set to drop on November 6th for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair at the Adidas webstore or select Adidas retailers.

Supreme Toshio Saeki Capsule Collection

As part of Supreme’s 11th Fall-Winter 2020 collection, the streetwear label linked up with the estate of legendary Japanese artist Toshio Saeki for an NSFW three-piece capsule collection that features Saeki’s original erotic artwork. Saeki is known as the “Godfather of Japanese Erotica” for his extensive catalog of ‘70s erotica that is one part traditional Japanese folklore and one part counter-culture psychedelic nightmare.

The capsule consists of a work jacket, hooded sweatshirt, and a pair of work pants that feature patchwork printings of some of Saeki’s most renowned work. It’s a wild look and one not everyone can pull off, but for those willing to try, the capsule truly is an inspired collaboration.

The Supreme Toshio Saeki Capsule collection will drop as part of Supreme’s larger Fall Winter 2020 collection on November 5th. Shop the collection at Supreme’s webstore.

The North Face Snow Rogue Capsule

The North Face is delivering a vintage 80’s inspired capsule collection that pulls some archival looks from The North Face’s older ski collections. The capsule consists of performance-focused winter mountain essentials like puffer jackets, fleece pants, beanies, bucket hats, jackets, and a few graphic t-shirts dressed in bright designs and colorways that looked designed to contrast against pristine white snow.

The Rogue capsule has a bit of an “extreme” edge to it, it’s loud, brash, and calls attention to itself. It also looks pretty damn great.

The North Face Snow Rogue Capsule is available now at the North Face U.K. webstore.

Chinatown Market Smack Capsule

The ever-playful Chinatown Market is anticipating some tense days ahead in the wake of the 2020 election. To mark the occasion, they’ve dropped a peace symbol-sporting capsule collection dubbed “Smack.” The centerpiece t-shirt of the capsule sports a loud hand-drawn peace symbol with scrawled Chinatown Market branding printed on a black, white, and purple t-shirt.

Rounding out the collection is a matching hoodie with a back-printed graphic and a matching black trucker’s hat.

The Chinatown Market Smack capsule is available now at the Chinatown Market webstore.

Progressive-minded people across the U.S. who were hoping for a landslide Biden victory that would serve as a referendum on Trumpism quickly had their hopes dashed on Election Night. As of this moment, we don’t know the outcome of the election yet, but signs are pointing to a much-narrower-than-predicted victory for Joe Biden.

In all honesty, we should have seen it coming. As someone who spends a lot of time on social media and pays attention to what people pay attention to, the signs were all there. Comment sections full of Trump supporters pushing narratives full of disinformation. The Facebook Top 10 most popular posts list being filled with right-wing outlets that peddle alternative facts and bash legitimate journalism every single day (despite these same right-wing folks crying about Big Tech suppression and censorship). The clear fear and paranoia over “Antifa” and “radical leftists” and “socialism,” which Trump has disingenuously-yet-successfully associated with the slightly-left-moderate-at-best Joe Biden. The racism, of course, that is obvious to half of us but that Trump and his supporters insist isn’t there.

And if you’re reading this article through Facebook, take a peek at the comments afterward. The vast majority of comments will be from people who only read the headline and don’t read the article. It’s going to happen as sure as the sun rises and sets. That’s a big part of the problem, too.

American people today are living in two vastly different countries, if not entirely different worlds. On a fundamental level, we are more like the Divided States of America than the United States—only the divide isn’t geographic, but ideological. People have unfortunately accepted the binary left/right, liberal/conservative boxes that modern discourse demands we place one another into, removing nuance from every issue and assigning a “side” to every statement. Even science—basic science—has become a politically polarizing topic.

Partisanship plays a big role in this, with the pitfalls of our de facto two-party system being laid bare. White dominance plays a big role, manifested in both obvious racism and the unspoken white identity politics that has been plugging along since our founding. Greed and selfishness play a role, as does the genuine economic strife of millions of Americans due to the pandemic. Disinformation plays a huge role, as do the ignorance and ingrained prejudices that make millions of Americans easy prey for it.

A Biden 2020 landslide was always a pipe dream. It was magical thinking for people who want to believe that these problems are not as prevalent as they are, who deluded themselves into thinking that Americans were somehow immune to the propaganda of a populist authoritarian demagogue, and who dared to hope for proof that we are better than our worst human instincts.

But here we are. Despite ample warnings from historians, psychologists, survivors of the Holocaust, and more that another Trump term would be the final blow to the foundations of our democracy, we sit here biting our nails over how close the final count will be.

Stepping back and looking at the big picture, though, this is probably the best possible scenario for America. If Biden pulls out a slim win, the immediate authoritarian threat of Trump is removed—but we will still be forced to confront our national and social demons. A landslide win would have been comfortable, which would have made if far too easy for too many of us to say, “Oh, that Trumpism thing was just a fluke. A blip. An anomaly. The country’s really okay.” Clearly it was not, and clearly we are not.

That’s not a reality that’s easy to swallow, but it’s reality, and we need to face it head on.

When nearly 70 million Americans are willing to overlook hundreds upon hundreds of examples of indecency and incompetence—any one of which would have spelled the end of an elected official in a normal timeline—in order to avoid paying a little more in taxes, or to fulfill their xenophobic fever dreams, or to “protect the unborn” (despite abortion rates dropping the most under Democratic presidents), or to “protect the 2nd amendment” (despite zero evidence that Democrats were planning to do away with it), or to “save the us from corruption” over a toothless story about his opponent’s son (despite Trump’s corruption being rampant and out in the open), or to “save freedom” because they see being required to wear a mask during a literal pandemic as tyranny, or to see themselves reflected in Trump’s own delusions of narcissistic glory (that’s an actual psychological thing), or simply to “stick it to the libs” like we’re all stuck in junior high school, no, we as a country are not okay.

And make no mistake—this is our country. It’s the America of the moment, and in many ways, the America we’ve always been. Most Black Americans—who by the way came out 87% for Biden, by far the most of any racial demographic—have been telling us this over and over. The demographic vote split was largely predictable, with the only broad groups tipping for Trump being men (+1%), people over age 65 (+2%) and white folks (+14%). Women, every other racial group, and every other age group tipped for Biden.

So the one hopeful takeaway here is that the U.S. is growing less white and the older generation is on its way out. But we have to keep doing the work to make sure that the white supremacy we’ve inherited gets dismantled instead of passed on, and we have to keep fighting the good fight against misinformation that leads to a shocking percentage of people to believe in kooky, dangerous ideas of reality like QAnon.

Progress is usually a two steps forward, one step back process, but sometimes it seems like two steps forward, three steps back. Even if democracy prevails, we have a lot of work to do to make this country what it should—and hopefully can—be.

It’ll be hard and it’ll take time, but we’ll get there eventually. We have to keep believing that.

The McDonald’s breakfast menu is one of the best menus in the entire fast-food universe. No one is waxing poetic about the BK Croissanwich in late 2020. Part of the charm of the McDonald’s lineup is that they keep their breakfast sandwich game relatively simple. English muffins, griddles (pancake-muffin hybrids), and biscuits are simple delivery devices for sausage, ham, bacon, egg, and/or cheese (for the most part).

That means that you don’t really have to overthink which breakfast sandwich you order from McDonald’s. That’s a good thing — we all have plenty of other stuff to overthink right now.

The eleven sandwiches ranked below are all of the entries on the national menu — meaning they should be available at every McDonald’s. Of course, there are hacks and regional specialties but we’re sticking to what everyone can get right now, no questions asked. Our metric is simple: What tastes the best?

Let’s dive in!

11. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel

Average Price: $3.29
Calories: 590

Toppings:

Toasted bagel with folded scrambled egg, two slices of American cheese, applewood smoked bacon, breakfast sauce, salted butter, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

Look, I’m not a bagel purist but this is a one-star-out-of-five bagel. It’s not so much chewy as it’s springy. But with no flavor. Then there’s the bacon, perhaps the biggest culinary Achilles’ heel of McDonald’s menu. It’s rubbery and a pain to eat on a sandwich.

Add in the extra breakfast sauce and cheese, and this sandwich will eventually slide apart as you try and eat it.

Bottom Line:

This sandwich always seems like a good idea on paper. A BEC on a toasted bagel is a classic way to start a morning. But, here it is in the last position.

10. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit

Average Price: $4.49
Calories: 460

Toppings:

Buttermilk biscuit with folded scrambled egg, applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, salted butter, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

McDonald’s buttermilk biscuits aren’t bad. Or, let’s put it this way, they have no business being this “meh.” With the addition of a little melty cheese, folded egg, and protein, this is an easy off-menu win.

Bottom Line:

Let’s face it, having to bite extra hard through rubbery bacon means this biscuit crumbles more easily than it should. Lose the bacon and add some Canadian bacon and this will be a winning breakfast sandwich.

9. Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles

Average Price: $4.29
Calories: 430

Toppings:

Two Griddle cakes with folded scrambled egg, applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

The McGriddle has really grown on me over the years. It’s a bit big, but you don’t really need a second sandwich if you’re ordering this. It’s hearty and satisfying, albeit on the expensive side of the price scale.

Bottom Line:

Fix your f*cking bacon, McDonald’s.

8. Sausage Biscuit with Egg

Average Price: $3.99
Calories: 530

Toppings:

Buttermilk biscuit with folded scrambled egg, sausage patty, salted butter, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

This is a perfectly serviceable sandwich with a folded egg adding to the heft of the bite. Yet, the egg almost feels like too much for some reason.

Bottom Line:

That folded egg does really feel more like an afterthought that ends up costing you $2.30 more than a regular Sauage Biscuit. Also… where’s the cheese?

7. Sausage McGriddles

Average Price: $3.59
Calories: 430

Toppings:

Two Griddle cakes with a sausage patty and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

This is that little step up from an almost identical sandwich — the biscuit version above — that somehow gets the edge. It’s probably the note of “maple syrup” in the griddles that works nicely with the mildly spicy and very savory sausage patty, creating a bit more depth of flavor.

Bottom Line:

Do McGriddles really cost that much more to make than buttermilk biscuits? This costing $1.90 more than a Sausage Biscuit puts it below that sandwich in our book. No amount of syrup sweetness in the McGriddles can change that.

6. Sausage Biscuit

Average Price: $1.69
Calories: 460

Toppings:

Buttermilk biscuit with a sausage patty and salted butter.

Sandwich:

This is where simplicity really starts to pay off. A warm buttermilk biscuit with a single sausage patty shouldn’t be this enticing. That’s really it. Plus, the price is always right at the “under $2 per sandwich” mark.

Bottom Line:

This is one of those orders that you end up saying, “Yeah, give me a sausage biscuit too…” every single time you’re famished at the drive-thru. Still, that means it’s an add-on and not the star of the show.

And again, let’s get some damn cheese in the mix.

5. Hot ‘n Spicy McChicken Biscuit

Average Price: $3.89
Calories: 420

Toppings:

Buttermilk biscuit with spicy chicken filet and salted butter.

Sandwich:

This one sort of came out of nowhere and isn’t terrible (trust us, it could have been). It’s also brazenly simple — with just a buttered biscuit and a spicy, breaded chicken filet.

Bottom Line:

This is pretty solid but It doesn’t quite reach the heights of a Whataburger Chicken Biscuit because it’s missing that crucial dollop of honey. Still, it’s a nice change-up from all the sausage, bacon, and eggs options on this list.

4. Sausage McMuffin

Average Price: $1.49
Calories: 400

Toppings:

Toasted English muffin with a sausage patty, American cheese, and salted butter.

Sandwich:

It’s hard to argue with McDonald’s English muffin game. The toasted and buttered bread is the perfect delivery system for their breakfast sandwiches. That’s evidenced by the fact that with a sausage patty and melty American cheese it makes a perfectly serviceable one-hander.

Bottom Line:

This coming in at $1.49 makes it a very easy addition to any order. Two of these (like two McDonald’s cheeseburgers) definitely hit the spot.

3. Egg McMuffin

Average Price: $3.89
Calories: 310

Toppings:

Toasted English muffin with a fried egg, Canadian bacon, American cheese, salted butter, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

This is a classic for a reason. It’s simple, for sure, but hits that right spot with the addition of Canadian bacon. That makes it a bit lighter than the sausage counterparts on the list but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Bottom Line:

Two Egg McMuffins and two hash browns are a solid go-to after a night out. Still, the fact that this sandwich is made (much) better by adding hash browns is what keeps it from the top spot.

2. Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles

Average Price: $4.39
Calories: 550

Toppings:

Two Griddle cakes with folded scrambled egg, sausage patty, American cheese, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

This is probably the most filling breakfast sandwich on this list by far. The egg, sausage, cheese, and two basically mini pancakes just work together (salty and savory, who’d have thought?) and will leave you actually full, maybe a little regretful, but full nonetheless.

Bottom Line:

McDonald’s folded egg is far inferior to their fried egg. Switch them out the next time you order. It really does make this a better sandwich and would likely have propelled it to number one.

1. Sausage McMuffin with Egg

Average Price: $3.89
Calories: 480

Toppings:

Toasted English muffin with a fried egg, sausage patty, American cheese, salted butter, and clarified butter.

Sandwich:

This English muffin-based sandwich hits all the marks exactly. It’s filling yet not overblown. The right egg is used. The sausage patty still shines. There’s just enough cheese.

Bottom Line:

This is well-priced. You only need one, really. And it doesn’t need anything added or taken away. It’s a winner.

The NBA coaching carousel was very active this year, with the Clippers, Rockets, Sixers, Pacers, Thunder, Bulls, Pelicans, Knicks and Nets all decided to make coaching changes. In Indiana, that meant Nate McMillan was out after four years in which he never had a losing season. However, the Pacers stalling out in the first round of the playoffs once again was enough for Indiana to choose to look elsewhere, with Nate Bjorkgren getting the job from the Raptors.

McMillan’s longtime success in the league ensured that he wouldn’t be out of work for too long provided he was interested on returning to the bench immediately as an assistant, and on Wednesday we learned that new destination will be in Atlanta where he’ll join Lloyd Pierce’s staff, per Marc Stein of the New York Times.

It seems like a strong hire for the Hawks, who give their young coach another veteran presence on the bench and someone with a pedigree of helping teams forge a strong defensive identity. That is something desperately needed in Atlanta, where they have a strong offensive core and a few young, solid defensive pieces, but need to bring that together in something of a cohesive system to elevate their defensive level as a team to become a playoff contender in the East.

Tekashi 69’s legal troubles were lessened significantly when the rapper was granted an early release from prison this April. But others involved in his case are just now being put to justice. Anthony “Harv” Ellison, a member of the Nine Trey Bloods gang and the man who Tekashi accused of kidnapping and robbing him, has been reportedly served a 24-year prison sentence.

Ellison’s sentence was served Wednesday by Judge Engelmayer, the same judge who heard Tekashi’s original case, according to HotNewHipHop. Matthew Russell Lee, an independent journalist who has covered Tekashi-related legal matters closely, was present for the hearing. He live-tweeted the proceedings and claimed Ellison stood behind his actions and told the judge. “I’m not an angel,” Ellison said. “But I’m not a monster either.”

Upon announcing Ellison’s sentence, the judge reportedly commented on his gang affiliation. “This was not a book club that you chose to affiliate with,” Judge Engelmayer said. “The gang inspired fear with shooting, including in Manhattan.” Judge Engelmayer also added that the 24-year sentence could have been longer if he hadn’t taken into account the “harsh conditions of imprisonment during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Tekashi 69 originally took the stand to testify against Ellison and name the associate as one of his kidnappers in September of 2019. Ellison’s lawyer said he was potentially facing life in prison in a statement following Tekashi’s testimony, so a 24-year sentence is much lighter than originally anticipated.

Despite the fact that the presidential election is anything but decided at this point, Saturday Night Live still has a post-election episode to put on this weekend, and now they’re shoring up plans on that front. Dave Chappelle has been confirmed as host for a while, but now SNL has revealed that this weekend’s musical guest will be Foo Fighters.

This won’t be an alien experience for Foo Fighters, as they’re one of the most frequent musical guests in SNL history: Between 1995 and 2017, they’ve been on the show seven times. Dave Grohl is also a funny guy who knows his way around a comedy sketch, so the SNL cast will hopefully use his comedic talents while they’re at their disposal.

Foo Fighters have been one of rock’s most active touring bands of the past few decades, but that hasn’t been the case this year. They haven’t done much performing during this pandemic-stricken year, even in a livestream capacity. A few weeks ago, the band was a driving force behind the virtual Save Our Stages Fest, and for the event, they gave their first performance together since the start of the pandemic.

This upcoming weekend will be a big one for Grohl fans, as he’s also set to host the pre-taped Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction special this weekend.

Tucker Carlson’s on-air takes have taken an unusual turn (for him) lately. Last week, the Fox News host appeared to have gained some humanity, or maybe he simply felt worn down by “package” jokes while deciding that everyone should leave Hunter Biden alone. Perhaps the experience of seeing the crumbling of that unverified conspiracy (and the failure of an alleged “October surprise”) took the wind out of his theorizing sails. Whatever the reason, Tucker now thinks that if Trump loses this tight race, he should accept results (rather than make absurd claims about “ballot dumping” and “election stealing,” like Trump’s now doing as states flip) like Tucker teaches his kids to do.

Tucker’s a pretty die-hard Trump fan, and he did take time on Election Night to express disagreement with Fox News’ decision to call Arizona as a Joe Biden win. Yet at around the 9:00 minute mark above, Tucker took this unexpected stance while speaking to Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum:

“If he loses, I mean, I always tell my children this: When you lose, blame yourself first. Don’t blame other people. Blame yourself first. I think that’s morally important for all of us, not just for politicians.”

Tucker continued while stating that there were “many” reasons that Trump might not be reelected, including the “general feelings that things are out of control” in the U.S. (which Tucker doesn’t agree is “primarily Trump’s fault”), along with the administration’s pandemic response. Tucker does feel that an incumbent will “suffer” the brunt of people’s anxiety, and people may want a “channel change,” but it’s still notable that Tucker’s projecting this message to Trump (who was very obviously paying attention to Fox’s election coverage): if he loses, he ought to accept self-blame before pointing the finger elsewhere. Will that happen, though? Trump’s Twitter page points towards “no.”

Uproxx’s panel of up-and-coming rappers is back to watch another classic video in the latest episode of React Like You Know. This time, Guapdad 4000, Lil Keed, NLE Choppa, and the gang take in the eye-popping spectacle of a hip-hop video master’s breakout solo single. Busta Rhymes has often been called an inspiration for multiple generations for his inventive visual work with Hype Williams, so it’s only right our Freshman Class favorites and their peers react to Busta’s 1997 classic, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See.”

Right off the bat, a few of their minds are blown. Louisville neophyte 2kBaby compares Busta’s bright red early video look to a “hot Cheeto cheetah,” while Baltimore’s Shordie Shordie is struck speechless after affirming “he was spitting that sh*t though.” NLE Choppa offers a thoughtful edit (“Me, I’d just put a bunch of guns in that motherf*cker”), Lil Keed praises Busta’s creativity, and Guapdad lends some continuity with a reference to our first episode (“Now, this some hand movement right here! Lil Cease should have watched Busta!”).

Of course, he’s referring to the debut episode of React Like You Know when the group took a look at Lil Kim’s “Crush On You.” Meanwhile, Busta just released his 12th album Extinction Level Event 2 and turned up in Harlem, New York to encourage fans waiting to vote.

Watch the latest episode of React Like You Know above.
