Marc Ecko’s impact is woven throughout pop culture, and now he’s using that influence to spark important conversations about education. Ecko’s clothing line, Eckō Unlimited, founded in 1993 and emblematic of ‘90s/early aughts culture, incorporated hip-hop and skater styles, and soon became universally recognizable by its rhino logo.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (in true Patrick Star fashion), there’s no chance in hell that you haven’t seen an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. We have our parents to thank for letting us numb our brains with Nickelodeon after school; starting with that fateful pilot, where SpongeBob landed his gig at The Krusty […]
Ever since the music industry shifted to streaming in the beginning of the decade, an entire generation of groundbreaking mixtapes have been left behind, trapped on websites like DatPiff and SoundCloud. While hip-hop heads enjoy sifting through these blog era relics in order to revisit classics from legendary hip-hop acts like Dipset, G-Unit, Lil Wayne, […]
Eagle-eyed Drake fans spotted something strange yet familiar on Wednesday, in the credits for Summer Walker’s new remix of “Girls Need Love,” featuring The Boy. The song is credited to Walker’s label LVRN and its partner Interscope, but there is a third name as well: Frozen Moments, LLC. Drake’s normal label Young Money/Cash Money, credited […]
MasterClass, the online educational platform that has had such luminaries as Malcolm Gladwell, Gordon Ramsey, deadmau5, and Steph Curry teach the tricks of their trade, is moving into hip-hop production in a big way: recruiting Timbaland to share his secrets.
