Spike Lee & Supreme Dropping 40 Acres & A Mule Capsule
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: Supreme / Supreme Hate or it or love, Supreme is always good for a clutch collaboration. The ubiquitous streetwear brand has linked with Spike Lee to create a capsule collection with the renowned director's 40 Acres & A Mule production company. Source: Supreme / Supreme The Brooklyn-bred director and screenwriter skyrocketed to fame after the release of his self-funded, black and white classic film She's Gotta Have It . The flick also happened to feature Lee himself portraying the now iconic Mars Blackmon character, which Nike soon enough co-opted for the famed Air Jordan campaign considering he wore a pair of Air Jordan 1's in the film. Lee discussed how it went down in a sit down interview (which also features plenty of dope insight into his decades of work) released by Supreme (see below). But, there are no Air Jordan callbacks in this Supreme drop. Instead, Lee's critically acclaimed Malcolm X and Clockers make their way into the mix. The collab consists of an ill black Varsity jacket, a couple of tees, a Clockers 6-panel hat and a baseball jersey. While one tee is attuned to Malcolm X , the other features a photo of Lee while he's in director mode. The collection releases Thursday, April 24 at the usual 11am ET online drop time, and in stores. Asian shops gets their product the next day. Check out detailed photos below.

Chris Rock won't rule out hosting Oscars again 3 years after Will Smith slap
It's never say never for Chris Rock, who revealed that he hasn't ruled out hosting the Oscars again — three years after the infamous Will Smith slap. When asked if he would preside over Hollywood's biggest night again after the physical altercation during the live 2022 telecast, the 'Saturday Night Live' alum said 'you never know.' The Brooklyn-bred funnyman, who hosted the Academy Awards in 2005 and 2016, was presenting the 2022 award for Best Documentary when he made an unscripted joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head — after which Smith jumped on stage and assaulted him. Pinkett Smith has said she has alopecia. Rock previously addressed the incident, mocking Smith in the live 2023 Netflix comedy special 'Selective Outrage.' He joked: 'I took that hit like Pacquiao,' referring to the former boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. On the red carpet for Vanity Fair's post-Oscars party on Sunday night, Rock shared: 'This is what I would say, the most miserable people on earth are people that can't forgive. And not just people, you have to forgive yourself sometimes. So, hey, you never know.' Four months after the public attack, Smith, who won the Best Actor trophy, apologized for the incident, saying in a nearly six-minute video: 'Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive.' The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences condemned the 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air' star's actions and banned him from attending any event related to the organization for 10 years, including the Oscars. Smith also resigned from the Academy. _______
