DeSantis graced Fox News earlier this week to share more about his plans for governing should he make it to the White House. The brave pizza defender regurgitated some of his favorite right-wing buzzwords like “woke ideology” while explaining why he’d gut the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, and maybe even the IRS. He promised to get rid of initiatives like DEI and CRT, but how he’d make paying taxes less liberal, we’re still not sure.
Unfortunately for DeSantis, no matter how many times he says the word “woke” in conversation, many Republican insiders still view him as a weak challenger to not just Trump, but President Joe Biden as well. When sharing the Fox News interview on Twitter, longtime Republican strategist Jeff Timmer — who worked on Ohio Governor John Kasich’s 2016 presidential campaign — named DeSantis the “worst presidential candidate” he’s ever seen.
“It’s like he’s been assembled from the discarded spare parts of Bobby Jindal, Bill de Blasio, Rick Perry, and Scott Walker,” Timmer wrote while quote-tweeting the video.
Ron DeSantis is the worst candidate I’ve ever seen. It’s like he’s been assembled from the discarded spare parts of Bobby Jindal, Bill deBlasio, Rick Perry, and Scott Walker. https://t.co/5f6UILNVPI
What DeSantis needs to do to get his own party members to like him is still a bit of a mystery. Maybe adding a couple more words to his vocabulary would help? Learning how to laugh like a human being? Getting a personality? Or growing just enough of a spine to stand up to the dehydrated human orange that’s been hurling childish nicknames your way for the past year? Just a few suggestions, Ronnie.
Vanna White has been the co-host of Wheel of Fortune since 1982. For nearly that half time, she hasn’t gotten a raise.
White is “lawyered up” for an overdue increase in her pay. TMZ reports that she won’t return to Wheel “unless she makes at least half of what Pat Sajak has been making.” White earns $3 million per season, which ain’t nothing, but it’s only one-fifth of Sajak’s alleged $15 million salary. “After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than him [Pat], asking for 50 percent of what he makes seems like a no-brainer,” a source said.
Sony, we’re told, is not on board, at least not yet. One source with direct knowledge described the negotiations as “very difficult.” Our sources also say Vanna feels like the issue is bigger than her. As one source says, “She feels like it’s a statement for all women.” We’re told Vanna wants to stay on the show, but if she doesn’t get what she believes is “a minimum of what is fair,” that’s a real possibility.
Here’s an idea: give Vanna a raise, let her host the show instead of Ryan Seacrest (no offense but save some jobs for the rest of us, buddy), and get a rotating group of Muppets to turn the letters. Series-best ratings.

“Cash Money Records takin’ over for the ’99 and the 2000” are words every millennial knows. The reaction is darn near Pavlovian at this point. You know it’s about to go down. When Juvenile pulls up at the NPR offices to perform his long-awaited Tiny Desk Concert, the reaction is such that he performs the song not just once, but twice. As soon as he finishes, the audience clamors for more, bringing the whole band back for an encore that spills over into the crowd.
The New Orleans legend performs for nearly 30 minutes with not just keys, drums, bass, and guitar, but brings along a full-fledged second line and strings to flesh out his set, which features backup from in-house Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh (of course)”R and runs through classics like “Bling Bling,” “Ha,” “Set It Off,” “Slow Motion,” “Rodeo,” “Nolia Clap,” “I Need A Hot Girl,” “Project Chick,” and OF COURSE “Back That Azz Up.” If this don’t make you move, check your pulse.
This Tiny Desk was one of the more anticipated ones in a while, thanks to an immaculate roll out by Juvie the Great, who has certainly grasped his stature as a rap elder statesman and keeps a sense of humor about it. More artists should promote their Tiny Desk Concerts like this — it’s an honor to perform but it should also be fun for everyone. This one certainly is.

Nick Cave always has wisdom to share, whether that’s in the form of sprawling songs or thoughtful blog posts. The enigmatic musician has a new collaboration with Debbie Harry for The Task Has Overwhelmed Us, the fourth installment of “The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project” series.
It’s a gentle, piano-driven cover of “On The Other Side,” and it showcases his natural knack for tear-jerking, moving ballads. Their vocals together create beautiful, memorable harmonies, and it serves as a wonderful tribute that chooses hope over grief.
Earlier this year, Cave revealed that he’s working on a new Bad Seeds album. “My plan for this year is to make a new record with the Bad Seeds,” he wrote in a post for The Red Hand Files. “This is both good news and bad news. Good news because who doesn’t want a new Bad Seeds record? Bad news because I’ve got to write the bloody thing.”
He added, “I started the process at 9am on January 1st. It is now January 6th — nearly a week has passed and I’ve written a few things but they aren’t very good, or maybe they are, it’s difficult to tell.”
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. With Fourth of July looming it’s safe to assume that even if you’re a hardcore sneakerhead, you’re probably not thinking about the latest sneaker drops and instead getting preparing for an epic BBQ bash. You probably already have an outfit in mind (shoes you don’t mind getting grass-stained) and whatever you order this week won’t get to you before the holiday anyway — so what does it matter, right? Wrong!
This might be another light week, but absolute fire is dropping! A re-release of the White Infrared Jordan 7s, a Campus 80 collaboration between Adidas and BAPE, a new Action Bronson New Balance — I mean, do we even have to talk about what else is dropping? Any of those three drops could be your drop of the year! So let’s dive into this week’s best sneaker drops of the week because there are more gems to be had.
Nike’s new White Infrared Jordan 7 combines two legendary colorways of the silhouette and creates something that is, I’m just going to say it: greater than the sum of its parts. The White Infrared sports an embroidered Jumpman logo with a 23 logo at the heel, a white leather build, and rides atop an iced-out outsole. Infrared accents add a nice splash of contrast over this super clean build.
The Air Jordan 7 White Infrared is set to drop on June 30th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $200. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
As part of BAPE’s big 30th-anniversary campaign, they’re dropping another new collaboration with Adidas, and we think this is the best one yet. The 80S sports a contoured outsole with an all-suede upper with leather lining, an extended tongue piece, metallic gold details, and a large BAPE star logo in place of the 3-stripes on the outer.
If you’re a fan of the three-stripes, it’s still present on the inner side of the sneaker, along with the OG Campus branding. It’s a sneaker that gives you the best of both worlds and reimagines a world where the BapeSTA is an Adidas original.
The Adidas Campus 80s BAPE is set to drop on July 1st at 8:00 AM PST for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app or aftermarket sites like Flight Club.
New Balance’s signature color is grey but I really think they should reconsider that because no brand does purple quite like them! Just look at this Plum With Silver 998, it’s beautiful! The sneaker sports a suede mesh and pigskin suede upper over an aged ABZROB midsole and reflective silver details on the logo and heel piece with embroidered branding at the tongue.
Just beautiful!
The New Balance Made in USA 998 Plum with Silver is set to drop on June 29th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $209.99. Pick up a pair via the New Balance webstore.
Personally, I think the 998 is the better drop of the week but I get that people ride hard for the 990 and fans of the V4 will be happy to see the sneaker get the purple treatment! Instead of the three-material upper, this one is simplified with a mesh build with hairy suede panels.
The sneaker rides on a lightweight foam ENCAP midsole and sports reflective details throughout.
The New Balance Made in USA 990v4 Plum with Silver is set to drop on June 29th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $209.99. Pick up a pair via the New Balance webstore.
New BalanceNew Balance
Action Bronson x New Balance 990v6 Made in USA Lapis Lazuli
Action Bronson is back at New Balance and this new drop is even doper than the last. Featuring a pigskin build with synthetic overlays and mesh underlays, the Lapis Lazuli is built upon a 990v6 silhouette with FuelCell cushioned ENCAP midsole with reflective accents, a TPU backtab, and a colorway that combines shades of blue from navy to teal, silver, and a slightly yellowed midsole.
The Action Bronson x New Balance 990v6 Made in USA Eclipse with Popcorn is set to drop on June 30th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $219.99. Pick up a pair via the New Balance webstore.
Stüssy, Our Legacy, and Converse are teaming up for a new hippie dippie take on the Chuck 70 that harkens back to the sneakers lifestyle heritage as a sneaker beloved by the surf and skate crowd of California. The shoe features a hemp build dyed in Portugal using bio-friendly dies in a closed water loop cycle that helps to give the sneaker a washed-out vibe. See what I mean? Hippie shit!
The sneaker drops in three colorways, Pool Blue, Lizard Green, and Pigeon Grey with Stüssy branding at the tongue and a yin-yang symbol in place of the legendary Chuck 70 star.
The Stüssy x Our Legacy x Converse Chuck 70 Hi is set to drop on June 30th at 7:00 AM PST for an unannounced retail price. Pick up a pair at Stüssy’s webstore or Stüssy Chapter stores near you.

If you have spent any time over the past month wondering just WTF Kanekalon is, odds are, you have been exposed to Flyana Boss’s inescapable viral single “You Wish.” At this point, it’d be kind of difficult to be online and not have been; the song, which the self-declared “weird girl” rap duo released two weeks ago, has been going crazy on just about every social media platform courtesy of their distinctive marketing strategy.
To date, Flyana Boss — consisting of best friends Bobbi Lanea of Detroit and Folayan Kunerede of Dallas — has released at least nine lyrics videos for the song in which they are seen running through seemingly random locations such as a grocery store, a local fair, McDonald’s, and, perhaps most infamously, Disney World. The fisheye lens, perfectly-timed long shot, and dynamic angle all make for a striking visual that not only gets the viewer’s attention but also invites them to try it out themselves.
It helps that Flyana Boss is a visually striking duo — pink hair, bleached eyebrows, and elf ears are all parts of the Gen Z, born-online aesthetic, and are not just recognizable but relatable to anyone who delved deeply into Tumblr or other internet subcultures in the past decade or so — and that their lyrics are flippant, fun, and deceptively clever. Think double Doja Cats or Rico Nasty in full sugar trap mode.
Take that reference to Kanekalon. A synthetic fiber developed by the Kaneka corporation, it’s been used to create dreadlock extensions of the variety sported by the rappers of Flyana Boss, connoting an inside joke that would only be caught by folks who come from one of the handful of subcultures that identify with their wear.
Meanwhile, the besties’ sense of fun is palpable through the camera — everything feels organic because you get the sense that they’re just being themselves. Spend an hour on TikTok and you’re likely to see dozens of young people like them: avid fans of Disney, anime, fantasy, and the artifacts of hyper-online pop culture like Vaporwave and the VSCO aesthetic. Their vibe is like a perfect distillation of the chaotic energy younger millennials and Zoomers embrace as par for the course.
They’re showing no signs of slowing down, either. With more “You Wish” videos going viral seemingly by the day, and scores of new fans passionately praising their cheeky, DIY approach, Flyana Boss is going places — including the Happiest Place On Earth.
Flyana Boss is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
The Rundown is a weekly column that highlights some of the biggest, weirdest, and most notable events of the week in entertainment. The number of items could vary, as could the subject matter. It will not always make a ton of sense. Some items might not even be about entertainment, to be honest, or from this week. The important thing is that it’s Friday, and we are here to have some fun.
ITEM NUMBER ONE – God bless everyone at this show
The Righteous Gemstones has been back on television for two weeks — three episodes, thanks to a two-part premiere — and it has already done more than most shows do in an entire season. There was the thing last week where the last 10 minutes of the second episode featured a very silly shoe-throwing fiasco followed immediately by a car chase that would fit into any big-budget action movie. There was a wildly explicit painting of Judy and BJ just hanging in the background of a scene that had to be seen to be believed. And there was also, at the beginning of this week’s episode… this.
HBO
I could give you all the facts here. I could flood you with background information about a Bible-themed luxury resort called Zion’s Landing and the backstory of why Gemstone in-law Baby Billy Freeman is there performing a poolside rendition of an old gospel song called “Payday” and all of it. And I will in a minute. But first, let’s all stop and appreciate the fact that we have a television show where Walton Goggins just pops up in a baby blue clam outfit to sing us a song. That’s not nothing.
But yes, we can dig in a little, too. With, to start, this chat at IndieWire with the show’s music supervisor Joseph Stephen where we learn more about what a delightful man Walton Goggins is.
“We had him do a variety of takes. One that was maybe a little more reserved, one that kind of went for it a little more. What we ended up going with was the middle of that road,” Stephens said. “But Walton is a consummate professional with all this stuff. All the vocal demands that we put on him for the show, he always comes very prepared, and he’s at the ready to do it however we propose. He came in and knocked it out. It’s all great and we don’t really need much after we get a few.”
And also this chat with Goggins himself, conducted by Uproxx’s own Jason Tabrys, where we learned… okay, this is just more of Walton Goggins being a wonderful man who is up for anything and loves heaping praise on costume designers.
Just the outfit itself made me feel like Elvis. It was extraordinary. What she did, stepping into those shoes was I think one of the greatest achievements I’ve seen on a show in a very long time. These are very big shoes to fill and she did it without a hitch. She stepped right in and the day that we were filming that episode they brought this clamshell out and I put it on, it went to places that I had no idea it was going to go.
Two things are worth noting here. Maybe three.
The first is that it’s just really cool. Think about Walton Goggins. Think about his career. He played a crooked cop in The Shield and a charismatic outlaw on Justified and had really created a cool little niche for himself as cable television’s primo charming villain. Then he just started doing comedy. He did Vice Principals, which was great, but now he’s taking it to another level completely. Look at how silly he’s being. He does this for us. For Danny McBride, too, but mostly for us. He’s a good man. Please do not forget this. Ever.
The second thing is that this is now at least the third time Danny McBride has made him sing. The most notable one is still the pickle-in-the-mouth “Misbehavin’” earworm from the first season of this show, but please do not ever forget when he whispered a little ditty called “Busted by Lee Russell.”
And okay, yes, the third thing: I really do need everyone to recognize that his character is currently trying to get a game show off the ground titled “Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers” that is just a religious-themed ripoff of Family Feud, and that everyone on the show recognizes this and pluralizes Family Feud for no reason while talking about it. “Family Feuds.” It’s such a perfect and stupid little touch and it makes me very happy.
As does this screencap from the same episode.
HBO
We really are just very, very blessed.
ITEM NUMBER TWO – It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It brings me great pleasure to report exclusively that Henry Winkler is on his fishing trip. Maybe “exclusively” is a stretch. He kind of told everybody on Twitter earlier this week. I suppose this is closer to the opposite of an exclusive report, in that everyone in the world received the same information. Or at least everyone who follows Henry Winkler on Twitter. Which should be everyone in the world. The man is a treasure.
His fish pictures are my favorite, though. I had the opportunity to interview him a few years ago when he was out promoting Barry and I told him as much straight to his lovely face. I’m just going to go ahead and blockquote that exchange again, if only because, like… I don’t know. I try not to take it for granted that I have a job where I can tell Henry Winkler that I like his fish pictures. Here we go.
I have followed you on Twitter for years now. I consider you to be one of my favorite people on that website. You’re a lovely man, and you’re better at Twitter than most people I know. It seems like almost every summer you go on a fishing trip and you post these pictures of yourself with the fish.
Yes.
It is one of my favorite things that happens on Twitter, because, you know Twitter, it’s like a stream of “everyone’s miserable, everyone’s angry, everyone’s upset”… and then blammo, there’s Henry Winkler holding a fish. It makes me so happy.
Beautiful. Lovely. Perfect. And if that’s all it was, if this was just a week of Henry Winkler breaking up the whining and doomsdaying on my Twitter feed with pictures of himself where he has a fish in his hands and a massive smile on his face, I mean, great. One of my favorite weeks of the whole year.
I gasped when I saw this. Part of that is because, like, Henry Winkler is out here hosting celebrity fishing trips. But a bigger part of it is because this brings us one step closer to something else I talked to Henry Winkler about in that interview a few years ago.
Have you ever considered hosting a fishing show where you and another guest go out on the boat together, and it’s like a podcast, but it’s just a super-relaxing half-hour of you and another celebrity telling Hollywood stories while you’re fishing?
Well, let me tell you, I love that idea. I have never done that, but I love that.
My gift to you. If you ever want to do it, I would watch the hell out of that show.
Thank you so much, really.
Please. Please give me this. I’ve been very good.
I’ve been pretty good.
I’ve been good enough.
ITEM NUMBER THREE – Guys, let’s go stay in the Barbie house
Getty Image
Okay. Listen. I need you all to focus. As part of the promotional push for the new Barbie movie (which feels like it’s been going on for a calendar year now), a real-life Barbie dream house is available on AirBnB. It’s a whole thing. You can’t just, like, rent it, though. You have to win it in a drawing. Variety has all the details. You can click on that link and look at them if you want. I’m more interested in the actual AirBnB page for it, which someone wrote in character as Ken, who is pitching this all as his house.
Look at this.
I’ve decked out the place with a little more…well, me! I’m more than just beach! My cowboy stuff is great. And horses! Guitars, games and more. And of course, rollerblades, because I literally go nowhere without them. Now, guests can live it up Ken-style for a neon night in Barbie Land – six-pack not included.
– During your stay, you will have the opportunity to live in technicolor by:
– Taking a spin through my awesome wardrobe to find your best beach fit. Look out Barbie, I’ve got quite the closet too!
– Channeling your inner cowboy and learning a line dance or two on my outdoor disco dance floor or performing a sunset serenade on my guitar
– Challenging your fellow guests to a “beach off” with plenty of sunbathing and chillaxing by the infinity pool
– Taking home a piece of my Kendom with your very own set of yellow-and-pink Impala skates and surfboard
Hard to pinpoint what my favorite thing is here. It might be the casual use of “chillaxing.” It might be the sentence “I’m more than just beach,” which is fascinating and kind of sad and tells me more about Ken than 20,000 words of user-submitted Wikipedia rambling. It might be all of it.
I vote we all enter this contest. And if you win, you can take me. It won’t be weird. Just a couple strangers hanging out in a life-size neon pink house made for a children’s doll and redecorated for a special event by that doll’s smooth-groined boyfriend. It’ll be fun.
Come on.
Think about it.
ITEM NUMBER FOUR –“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef”
HULU
Sometimes my brain does this thing where it latches onto a phrase or sentence and refuses to let it go. It’s almost always harmless and almost always annoying and it happened again this week while I was reading this interview with the man who runs Mr. Beef in Chicago, the sandwich shop that inspired The Bear, who is also a lifelong friend of the show’s creator. Which is nice. The story, I mean. Not the thing that’s stuck in my head.
Here’s the chunk of the interview in question, where he confesses he hasn’t watched the show at all yet and probably will never start.
Still, Zucchero hasn’t watched a single episode of “The Bear,” and probably won’t ever. It’s not for lack of interest or support — he just can’t afford to lose sight of the restaurant that’s been feeding Chicago for six decades, since his father acquired the original Mr. Beef in 1979.
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef,” Zucchero says. “The only thing I’ve ever known in my life is that restaurant.”
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef.”
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef.”
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef.”
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef.”
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef.”
“Somebody’s still got to wake up the next day and make beef.”
I’m fine.
ITEM NUMBER FIVE – I do not think I would enjoy puking hot sauce
Jennifer Lawrence was on Hot Ones last week. You might have heard about this, or at least maybe you saw one of the many screencaps people made of her melting down into a puddle after eating the spiciest of the wings. It was a good time. It is always impressive to me that Jennifer Lawrence remains this charming and likable despite being both beautiful and talented. That’s a tricky dance, in a few ways. One is that people are jealous and crappy and love knocking others down. Another is that people who are very beautiful and very talented do not always develop what you and I would call “a personality,” only because they do not have to. It’s cool that she’s like this. Jennifer Lawrence is a pretty good egg.
She was fun on the show, too, even though her mouth and body did not appear to be having fun. Look at what she said to Andy Cohen about the whole thing earlier this week.
“I passionately threw up after. Violently,” she told host Andy Cohen. “I made it upstairs to my suite. My holding suite.”
“We shot at the Four Seasons downstairs,” she said. “My stomach gave me, like, eight minutes to get upstairs and then she…. She…” Lawrence let out a surprised guffaw, seemingly impressed at her stomach’s aggressive reaction to ingesting so much hot sauce.
Okay, quick story…
Back when I was in college, I dared a buddy of mine to drink a whole bottle of A1 Bold & Spicy Steak Sauce. He said no. I offered him one dollar. He said no again. I offered him two dollars. He said yes. This is the free market at work. It is also a good explanation of what college is. It is a few things.
Anyway, maybe 10 minutes later he ran off to the bathroom and threw up and came back with the following report: “It felt like I puked a lightning bolt.”
The point of this story is that, as of today, I suspect Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence can relate.

From David:
About an hour ago I was checking the weather and everyone was talking about the air quality from the Canadian wildfire and I stopped reading for a second and suddenly thought “Smog Alert would be a good fake name.”
I feel like this is something I should tell you.
This is absolutely something you should tell me. I can see this person in my head very clearly right now. Little pointy goatee, stubby cigar in his mouth, huge sunglasses, the whole deal. Kind of like a Street Fighter character but more wiry than jacked. Absolutely a member of a team of mercenaries that parachutes into dangerous situations under the cover of night.
Those at Kutztown University this summer found themselves receiving a bizarre alert: an “aggressive” cow was loose in the borough and on the nearby campus.
AGGRESSIVE COW
In an alert titled “Avoid North Campus: Aggressive Cow – DO NOT APPROACH,” KUPD said the cow seemed scared and unfamiliar with its surroundings.
“All should stay away from cow. The animal is not safe to approach,” the alert said.
Okay, here’s what I need you all to know about Pennsylvania, the state I have lived in for my entire life: It is weird. Just fantastically strange. Because at its east and west ends it has cities that share very little in common (Pittsburgh: steel town, factories, more of a Midwest city in spirit; Philadelphia: East coast I-95 city, maniacs, lunatics, proud of it, Go Birds, etc.), but just about the whole area in between is rural farm country. I say this with love because I grew up out there. So you can have, say, reports about dirtbike races on the streets of Philadelphia after an Eagles win right next to stories about, well, yeah, aggressive cows terrorizing a college campus.
In summary, Pennsylvania is a land of contrasts.
The department sent a follow-up email shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday, saying the cow was last seen in Fleetwood, and though it had not yet been secured, it was no longer a threat to the Kutztown campus.
Officials said an “aggressive cow” that was first spotted around town and on campus Sunday has returned.
AGGRESSIVE COW II
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE
YOU MADE A BIG… MISTEAK
At one point, Kutztown University Police had the cow in their sights in the area of Lytle Hall, but the animal ran into a field by the school’s water tower and went back into the surrounding woods.
I love this guy. I have this image in my head of the campus cops bumbling and slipping and falling as the cow runs circles around them. I honestly think I would watch a live feed of this for hours at a time. It would be my favorite show.
University officials want to get the word out that the cow is still around, still considered aggressive and to warn students and residents not to approach the animal if spotted.
A crew has been out checking the area Wednesday morning but there have been no sightings of the cow yet today.
COW CREW
COMING TO CBS THIS FALL
STARRING… OH… LET’S SAY WALTON GOGGINS AND HENRY WINKLER
Following the success of their (really good) documentary on Arnold Schwarzenegger, Netflix will produce a career-spanning doc about the guy he tricked into starring in Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot. After decades of action dominance following some early Oscar nominations, Sylvester Stallone is primed for the documentary spotlight.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Thom Zimmy (Springsteen on Broadway) is directing Sly for release on the streaming platform in November.
Here’s the official synopsis:
“For nearly 50 years, Sylvester Stallone has entertained millions with iconic characters and blockbuster franchises, from Rocky to Rambo to The Expendables. This retrospective documentary offers an intimate look at the Oscar-nominated actor-writer-director-producer, paralleling his inspirational underdog-story with the indelible characters he has brought to life.”
The man’s definitely earned it. Plus, this promises a string of potential documentaries and docuseries about action stars. Hopefully, Netflix brings us Dolph, Wesley, and Linda after this.
In the past few years, Stallone has either closed the book on or handed off some of his most iconic characters, including Rambo and Rocky, all while shifting into a dual track of projects: ensemble roles in blockbuster projects and a starring gig in Taylor Sheridan’s Tulsa King. In all of these, he’s leaned into an elder statesman role where he gets to be witty, charming, and as goofy as he wants to be.
Asap Rocky isn’t the only fashion killer in hip-hop. Lil Uzi Vert has gone on the record to declare their flyness. But on their new track “Endless Fashion” featuring Nicki Minaj, their designer obsession sores to new heights. As one of the breakout tracks from Lil Uzi Vert’s new album, Pink Tape, the rappers continue their magically collaborative streak.
On the track produced by Bugz Ronin, the pair boasts about their designer buds. In the second verse, Minaj flaunts her exclusive access to revered designers, rapping, “Ayo, even if my name was Natalie, none these b*tches still couldn’t chin-check me / That’s word to Chanel, it ain’t nothin’ to see, bitches on TV channelin’ me / Harajuku Barbie, Roman Zolanski, from Red Ruby to Chun-Li / I put door knocker earrings in Fendi, then stamped the trench coat Burberry.”
But before she closes her verse, there are a few more brands she wants to highlight, rapping, “I was really in the field with Karl Lager’ (Oop), now it’s Heaven campaigns / Check-in with Dapper Dan when I’m in Harlem / My n****s’ll blow like Virgil.”
Lil Uzi Vert joins in to shout out their favorite labels rapping, “These rappers can’t dress, yeah, they just be hatin’ / I never ratted, but got all the statements / Stopped wearing Kapital ’cause it got basic / I still wear Kapital, Uzi, stop fakin’ / I used to wear more Number (N)ine than Asians / I mix the Greg Lauren, purple label.”
Fashion and music go hand in hand. Lil Uzi Vert and Nicki Minaj are just the latest to highlight the symbiotic relationship.
Pink Tape is out now via Generation Now/Atlantic Records. Find more information here.
