We need to talk about the Kanye West Messi lyric on his song “Off The Grid” from his new album, Donda. While it’s special to see one of the world’s largest artists nod at the planet’s most popular sport, the bar about Lionel Messi is subpar.

Before I continue, I would like to make it clear that I actually quite enjoy “Off The Grid.” My bone to pick is with this Messi lyric.

Sometimes you question whether all this internet was really a good idea to begin with. The misinformation, the death of the Fourth Estate, the social media addiction, the rise in mental illness, the dumbing down of the entire global population, the monopolization of everything by the most uncaring corporations in the history of mankind… it really makes you think.

But then a video like this comes along and you remember why we made the internet in the first place: to occasionally connect the globe with one giant golden thread of joy.

A viral video has been posted of Canada and Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies listening to KSI in the car. KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji and more commonly known as JJ, is an internet sensation who started his career as a FIFA YouTuber. 

The 28-year-old has tried his hand in many different fields including boxing and music. His latest album “All Over The Place” was dropped this month and Davies is a fan.

Nada en la vida de Kanye West es ordinario y normal. Prueba de ello ha sido esta semana, en la que el artista se ha convertido en un habitante del Estadio Mercedes-Benz, hogar del Atlanta United de la MLS.

El jueves pasado, Kanye hizo un evento público en el recinto. Muchos creyeron que sería un concierto para lanzar su nuevo disco, “Donda”, sin embargo, fue en realidad una sesión para escuchar parte del álbum. Kanye llegó dos horas tarde y caminó sobre el campo, cubierto por un superficie blanca, durante 45 minutos sin decir una palabra.

It’s been nearly half a year since The18 dropped a Spotify playlist. It’s about time to dust off the records and pump out another 18-track playlist banger. This summer’s Best Soccer Songs Mix has some of 2021’s biggest hits, along with a couple songs I promise you haven’t heard before.

Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku had fans ask him questions on Twitter and his responses display just why we love him. He replied to dozens of questions, including sharing his biggest motivation and even firing back at some haters, making this thread a must-see. As he lights up the pitch at Euro 2020, we look at the highlights from the Lukaku Q&A to get to know one of our favorite stars even more. 

Let’s go ask your questions

ESPN’s coverage of Euro 2020 has been good so far. However, it's almost unsettling how much less laughter there is after spending the last few months with Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards on CBS Sports.

Richards is now part of the BBC’s coverage of the tournament (as well as Alex Scott) and providing some excellent viral moments.

With a full docket of international soccer awaiting fans this summer, we’re going to hear plenty of national anthems. This begs the question, who has the longest national anthem? 

LCD Soundsystem’s song “tonite” begins with a lyric that could be applicable to every UEFA European Championship anthem ever written. “Everybody’s singing the same song,” James Murphy laments. “It goes ‘tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight.’ I never realized these artists thought so much about dying.”
