Hip-hop artists have always worn seriously cool designer shades. These days, we’ve got Offset rocking Bugatti, Drake and Wiz Khalifa favoring Saint Laurent and Future flossing with Temple and Bridges, just to name a few.
But no one showed more loyalty to his favorite sunglasses than ’90s rap icon Notorious B.I.G. did with his beloved Versace Medusas.
Biggie’s signature frames, complete with bright gold Medusa heads on the temples, can be seen in the videos for “One More Chance” and “Hypnotize” and were worn at the Brooklyn rapper’s concerts, interviews and public appearances. Basically, he never seemed to take them off.
And while they played an integral role in creating Biggie’s high-living hustler persona, the flashy Medusas are definitely not for everyone.
But if you’ve got the swagger to pull them off, there’s good news: Versace is bringing back Biggie’s favorite shades for the month of October at Barney’s stores and Barneys.com for $295.
Biggie first wore Medusas onscreen in the video for 1994’s “One More Chance”, in which he advises, “I’m clocking ya/Versace shades watching ya” while kicking back at a Brooklyn house party.
Later, in the considerably more over-the-top video for “Hypnotize” in 1997, Biggie flees the law on a luxury speedboat in the Florida Keys with Medusas on, and and helpfully raps, “Miami, DC prefer Versace.”
Current hip-hop artists including 2 Chainz and Tyga have recently revived Medusas, but they’ll always be associated most with Biggie, who often attended Versace fashion shows and was credited with championing the brand by Donatella Versace herself.
Nearly 350,000 have already liked Winter’s post, which was captioned, “Never been timid.”
But all it takes is a cursory scroll through the comments section to find the exact type of nasty remarks that the 20-year-old actress has spoken out against so many times before.
Winter talked at length about how these relentless internet trolls have affected her over the years in an accompanying interview.
“Social media and I have had a very tumultuous relationship. I appreciate the platform social media gives me to express my views or help people through tough times,” she said.
“However, social media has become a huge platform to either tell us how we should live or bully others. These platforms have given us a way to say whatever we want, no matter how hurtful or damaging they are, from the safety of anonymity.”
Sometimes the best thing Winter can do is simply step away.
“I take breaks from social media periodically because I think it is healthy to walk away and focus on the life that’s in front of you instead of the life happening on your screen.”
“I receive horrible comments regardless of what I post, and it gets hard not to let them affect you sometimes,” she added. “People forget that EVERYONE has feelings, regardless of their career choice.”
Still, Winter sees value in being able to communicate with fans on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and other platforms.
“I’d like people to look at social media as a way to connect with friends and express yourself instead of using it as a sounding board for your anger or as a standard of what life should be,” she said.
“Be your own person and don’t listen to anyone who says differently. We are all unique!”
To Winter’s haters: Kindly fuck off while the rest of us admire more stunning photos from her Instagram feed:
Deep Ellum, Texas, is a neighborhood in East Dallas that you’ve probably never heard of, much less know as a hotbed of horology. However it’s home to Jack Mason, one of our favorite up-and-coming affordable watch brands, started a few years back by two friends working out of a 1971 Airstream.
Like their makeshift office, Jack Mason watches are well-designed, rugged and innately American, even when their look is derived from vintage – and increasingly unaffordable – Swiss pieces.
Jack Mason
Among their offerings the Racing Collection appeals to us most, and we like their latest design, the JM-R402-003, the best.
Like the rest of the collection it’s inspired by the dashboard gauges of vintage race cars, but the sporty new quartz-powered chronograph also features a red, white and blue sub-dial, which of course echoes the colors of both the Texas and American flags but also references some very cool vintage sailing watches like the Heuer Autavia Skipper and the recently reissued 1960s Yema Yachtingraf.
The back of the 40mm stainless steel case, which is water resistant to 100 meters (328 ft.), is engraved with a classic grand prix race car, a spiffy touch, while the dial displays a tachymeter used for measuring speed like the ones found on iconic timepieces such as the Omega Speedmaster.
Jack Mason
The “rally” style strap is also nicely done in perforated black leather echoing the upholstery on vintage sports cars. Like all Jack Mason straps it features a quick-change pin system so you can easily swap it out and give the watch a new look.
If you’ve been adding all this up in your head you’re probably thinking this watch runs at least $500 and maybe more like $1,500, but the price is only $275.
Which is why we feel it’s safe to say you can’t afford not to buy one.
The bad blood between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov reached a boiling point at UFC 229—and the Irishman wants to do it all over again.
For four rounds, the Dagestan-bred fighter showed his dominance on the mat before finally ending the bout with a neck crank that left McGregor with no choice but to tap out.
The fighting didn’t end there. Nurmagomedov jumped into the crowd seconds after the submission and swung at Dillon Danis, McGregor’s trash-talking jiu-jitsu coach. Meanwhile, members from Nurmagomedov’s camp entered the Octagon and sucker-punched McGregor.
McGregor not only refused to press charges against his attackers, but made it clear that he wants another shot at the UFC’s defending lightweight champion.
“Good knock,” McGregor tweeted hours after his loss. “Looking forward to the rematch.”
In his latest Instagram post, McGregor claimed to have “won the battle.” The accompanying photo shows his battered face.
“We lost the match but won the battle,” he wrote. “The war goes on.”
Nurmagomedov sees it differently. He also took to Instagram after the fight, writing that the UFC’s former two-time champ is “just now slowing down.”
“Brothers, you’re just now slowing down, for now I’m uncomfortable for you,” Nurmagomedov wrote.
“I told you, October 6 I told everyone, or did you really want me to get beat there?” (The Washington Post’s Isabelle Khurshudyan provided translation and points out that, in Russian, a plural reference can refer to one person.)
One question is swirling in the heads of fight fans everywhere: what’s next?
Nurmagomedov’s immediate future is unclear. As ESPN notes, the Nevada State Athletic Commission will likely hand him a fine and suspension as punishment for his post-fight melee.
UFC president Dana White said as much in the post-fight press conference.
“The Nevada State Athletic Commission is going to go after him pretty hard, I’m sure,” White said.
“He doesn’t have to worry about me right now, he has to worry about Nevada,” White added. “The governor was here tonight and he went running out of the building. That’s not good. He’s in trouble.”
Assuming his capacity to fight is eventually restored by the NSAC, it’s not a stretch to think that the UFC would want to make McGregor vs. Nurmagomedov II. The first contest wasn’t even close, but a second would surely be extremely lucrative.
However, McGregor may have to prove he deserves a rematch in light of his decisive loss to “The Eagle.”
Tony Ferguson, a formidable lightweight fighter who defeated Anthony Pettis in UFC 229’s co-main event, could be either Nurmagomedov or McGregor’s next opponent.
The pair have a mutual dislike of each other although not nearly as intense as the enmity shared between McGregor and Nurmagomedov.
Ferguson has been itching for a fight with McGregor – or ‘McNuggets’ as he has taken to calling the Dubliner – and is ranked number two in the lightweight rankings, so he would be no easy night’s work.
But there’s another followup fight to be had, and that’s Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz III. Speaking to ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani before UFC 229, The Notorious One said he’s certain that the trilogy will be completed.
“Nate Diaz will always have a rematch off of me. No matter what happens I will always give that man gave his rematch,” McGregor said.
“When it will happen? I don’t know. We will complete that trilogy, no doubt about it.”
Nate Diaz.
The Stockton, Calif.-based brawler is considerably less keen on fighting McGregor a third time.
“I ain’t fighting no trilogy,” Diaz told TMZ. “He already got his ass whipped. He can fight everybody else. I got shit to do, too.”
McGregor has also showed interest in a megafight with 43-year-old MMA legend Anderson Silva.
“I’d be interested in an Anderson Silva bout,” McGregor told ESPN. “I swear to God. Anderson is a legend of the game. I’m sure he’s hunting for a few quid as well.”
Silva responded positively to the idea.
“He’s a legend, I’m a legend,” Silva told ESPN. “Let’s go do this for the fans. Hopefully McGregor doesn’t do the same as Georges St-Pierre. He talked about fighting me and then he run and run and run.”
If McGregor wants to step back in the boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather, that may be on the table as well.
The August, 2017 boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor was arguably the biggest event in sports history.
Mayweather Jr. walked away with nearly $200 million, while McGregor had a purse of approximately $100 million, so that’s clearly the incentive for doing this again.
The 50-0 boxer’s father told Helen Yee that talks of a rematch were in the works.
“They are talking like him and Conor McGregor are going to fight,” Mayweather Sr. said.
“That’s what it sounds like. I don’t know for sure but I’m just saying the way things are sounding to me. Sounds like (my son) wants to fight again.”
