[WATCH] Ice Cube on The BIG3 “Ownership Is Important”

September 14, 2021 ItsHipHop Leave a comment

Ice Cube, iconic revolutionary rapper, actor and executive producer turned basketball businessman co-founded a one of a kind 3-on-3 basketball league, the BIG3. Since 2017, the league has consisted of 12 teams that include former NBA players and international players.

BIG3’s unique brand of 3-on-3 basketball has developed greatly in 4 years. Closing out their fourth season, the final games were hosted on the Bahamas island. Ice Cube and the BIG3 invited the season’s top four teams to Atlantis, Paradise Island, to battle it out for the big trophy. The Source Magazine was outside to cover all the action first hand.

The BIG3 league is structured differently from what you’ve seen in the NBA. 3-on-3 teams, half-court 4-point shots and a ‘Bring the Fire’ rule are just some of the aspects that make this league distinctive and entertaining.

Equipped with skilled coaches from the NBA, WNBA, and your favorite ballers from all over the world, BIG3 delivers an energy and reach far beyond a typical game of pick up.

Ice Cube and partner Jeff Kwatinetz along with league’s commissioner Clyde Drexler have secured greater sponsorship deals with Taco Bell and Triller and have amassed larger audiences with each season.

In an exclusive interview with Ice Cube, we dive into why ownership is important for minorities. Also discussed what ball players he feels are great rappers and more.

Check out some photos from the event below. Surprise appearances from 2/3 of the LOX and Flavor Flav added to the excitement of the winning team.

UP IN THE SOURCE: Tahiry Hates The Word Hustle… but ‘The Hustler’ Returns to ‘Love and Hip-Hop’ for the Season X to Remind Fans Why She’s an OG

January 6, 2020 ItsHipHop Leave a comment

This was a shocker!

Tahiry Jose revealed to The Source exclusively that she actually hates the word “hustler,” but accepts it because at the core of who she is- that title best fits her.

Check Tahiry out in her Up in The Source interview where she talks about her epic return to the Love and Hip-Hop franchise, how she has dealt with depression and mental health, her love life (tune into the show to see if Joe Budden is included in that) and what’s next for the John Jay grad.

She also breaks down what hustle is to her and what is it about her that makes women relate to her so completely.

November 28, 2018 ItsHipHop Leave a comment

Today’s Source Report looks at how Tekashi 6ix9ine released his new album, Dummy Boy from jail. The rainbow-colored hair rapper is currently locked up and says that he misses his fans. The album officially dropped on all platforms earlier this week. Dummy Boy is packed with special features from A list artists like Kanye West, Nicki Minaj and more.

Meek Mill will also drop an album this week. Last year, all eyes were on Meek and his troubles with the court system. Things have certainly shifted as he has taken the next steps to change the policies and laws that he believes unjustly targets Black and brown people.

In other news, Allen Iverson and Reebok have collaborated on a new sneakers line. The colors are inspired by his Sixers jersey.
