Young Thug Says He Doesn’t Know Who The Alchemist Is

Leave a comment

Young Thug Has Shut Down Hopes for a Collaboration Album with The Alchemist

A recent viral meme sparked excitement among fans about a potential collaboration album between Atlanta rapper Young Thug and legendary producer The Alchemist. The imagined project was described as an “introspective jazz” album, a pairing that quickly gained traction across rap Twitter. However, Young Thug has since put those hopes to rest by revealing that he doesn’t even know who The Alchemist is.

The confusion began when stylist Ian Connor shared a text exchange with Thugger on Twitter. In the conversation, Connor asked Young Thug if he had seen the meme or knew who The Alchemist was. Thug’s simple response was, “No who’s this?” To which Connor replied, “The Alchemist, one of the greatest producers of all time. I’ll kall you when my brain comes up with a plan, but this is sumn that needs to be done.”

It’s unclear whether the conversation continued beyond that point or if Young Thug ever took the time to look up the prolific beatmaker. The Alchemist is well-known for his classic projects with artists such as Freddie Gibbs, Earl Sweatshirt, and Boldy James.

The meme that sparked all the speculation originated from a tweet by Debating Hip-Hop, which imagined the duo crafting an “introspective jazz” collaboration. Fans eagerly embraced the idea, turning it into a widespread joke across rap circles on Twitter.

At ComplexCon, a reporter even took the opportunity to ask The Alchemist about the rumor. Playing it cool, he responded, “I can’t confirm or deny anything, bro. I need that, too. You can hook it up? Talk to him [points to fan]. If he makes it happen, then it’s gon’ happen. It’s on you now, bro.”

For now, while fans continue to hope, it seems a collaboration album between Young Thug and The Alchemist remains unlikely—at least until Young Thug gets to know who Uncle Al really is.

Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey out after opening kickoff shoulder injury

Leave a comment

Luke McCaffrey suffered a significant injury during the Washington Commanders’ matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night.

McCaffrey was expected to play a key role in the Commanders’ offense alongside quarterback Jayden Daniels. Additionally, the team was missing star receiver Terry McLaurin due to injury, which would have likely increased McCaffrey’s involvement throughout the game.

However, McCaffrey’s time on the field was cut short early in the first quarter. While participating on special teams during the opening kickoff, he suffered a shoulder injury. According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, this injury will sideline McCaffrey for the remainder of the game.

“Commanders ruled out Luke McCaffrey due to a shoulder injury,” Schefter reported.

Raiders’ Brock Bowers announces return from injury with 1-handed TD grab

Leave a comment

All the questions about Brock Bowers’ readiness after returning from a knee injury on Sunday were quickly diminished when he caught an early touchdown for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bowers had sat out the previous three games, which affected the Raiders’ already-thin offensive unit. The team had a bye week before hosting the Jaguars at Allegiant Stadium, giving Bowers extra time to recuperate. Fans wondered if he would be rusty after his extended time on the sidelines, especially since he had not played since Week 4.

However, the second-year tight end did not waste any time making his presence felt against Jacksonville. He scored on a seven-yard touchdown in the second quarter, giving the Raiders an early 6-0 lead. What made the play special was his one-handed catch before falling to the ground. Although it was initially ruled incomplete, a review showed that Bowers’ hip was in bounds, confirming the touchdown.

This score completed a 13-play, 95-yard drive by the Raiders and delighted the fans. It was a laudable play by the 22-year-old Bowers, demonstrating that he is not afraid to mix it up, even after recovering from a troubling injury.

Despite Bowers’ much-anticipated return, it wasn’t enough to power the Raiders to victory. Las Vegas lost to the Jaguars in a heartbreaker in overtime, 30-29, dropping their record to 2-6 and marking six losses in their last seven games.

Bowers finished the game with an impressive 12 receptions for 127 yards and three touchdowns. Notably, he extended his streak to 22 straight games with at least two receptions, making it the longest such streak in league history for a tight end starting a career.

Clearly, the Raiders cannot afford to lose Bowers, who was named to the All-Pro First Team and the Pro Bowl as a rookie. The 13th overall pick has been a gem for Las Vegas, and sustaining another injury would be a worst-case scenario for the team.

Looking ahead, the Raiders will aim to bounce back on Thursday when they face the Denver Broncos.

Woman arrested six years after fatal stabbing in SE Albuquerque [mug shot…t-shirt]

Leave a comment

**Woman Arrested Six Years After Fatal Stabbing in Southeast Albuquerque**

*By Nakayla McClelland | ABQ Journal | November 1, 2025*

A woman is behind bars six years after she allegedly stabbed a man to death at a home in Southeast Albuquerque.

Antionette Hernandez, 29, was arrested Thursday and charged with an open count of murder and criminal trespass in the 2019 killing of 38-year-old Eric Lewis. Hernandez does not yet have an attorney.

Lewis’ stabbing went unsolved for six years after the detective on the case was promoted to sergeant, according to court records. The case was later assigned to an investigator for review before being transferred to a homicide detective in April 2025.

Prosecutors filed a motion on Friday to keep Hernandez behind bars until trial, citing that she “exhibited violent and dangerous behavior that threatens the safety of the community.”

“The Court will be unable to ensure that the Defendant is not possessing knives, and not threatening, or hurting more innocent people,” the motion states.

Police were conducting a patrol on September 27, 2019, of condemned houses in Southeast Albuquerque to ensure that no one was living inside them, according to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court. Around 11:30 a.m., officers entered a condemned home in the 400 block of Utah SE, south of Zuni, and noticed “a wad of hair on the floor and a strange smell,” the complaint says.

Officers saw bloody shoe prints throughout the kitchen floor and found Lewis’ body. An autopsy later determined that Lewis had been fatally stabbed.

The investigation remained cold until recent developments led to Hernandez’s arrest.

Giants get dominated in all phases as they drop to 2-7 with a 34-24 loss to 49ers

Leave a comment

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Brian Daboll loves to talk about playing complementary football. What his New York Giants did on Sunday was the polar opposite.

Mistakes on offense, defense, and special teams doomed the Giants in a 34-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers that was not as close as the score indicated. The game was played in front of a crowd that sounded more like it was in the Bay Area than the Meadowlands.

“I’ve never played in a home game that was lopsided in that department,” rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart said. “But they have a big fan base.”

Drops plagued the Giants early as Theo Johnson and Wan’Dale Robinson failed to secure passes thrown right at them by Dart. On defense, Christian McCaffrey was left wide open for one of the easiest touchdowns of his career. McCaffrey and Brian Robinson Jr. dominated the field all afternoon, carving through would-be tacklers repeatedly.

Adding to the Giants’ woes, kicker Graham Gano missed a field goal attempt wide left in the final minute of the first half. Later, special teams miscues continued when Zaire Barnes collided with returner Gunner Olszewski on a punt in the third quarter.

“We have to keep believing that we will win,” Dart said. “It’s not fun to lose. We missed out on certain phases of playing complementary football. You have to win at least two of those areas, and we didn’t.”

The loss marked New York’s third consecutive defeat, dropping their record to 2-7 this season with the NFL trade deadline looming Tuesday. Frustration within the fan base was evident, with a plane circling the stadium carrying a banner that read, “Mr. Mara enough is enough clean house.” Another banner wished owner John Mara well in his fight against cancer.

“Look,” Daboll said, “we’re not where we need to be.”

Injury troubles piled up as well. Starting center John Michael Schmitz, inside linebacker Darius Muasau, and rookie receiver Beaux Collins all left the game. The Giants were already missing their top two cornerbacks, Paulson Adebo and Cor’Dale Flott, as well as starting free safety Jevon Holland. This is on top of season-ending injuries to Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo.

Despite the struggles, Dart and the energy he has brought are sources of long-term optimism. He showed flashes of promise against San Francisco, completing three of four passes with a touchdown to Theo Johnson on the opening drive — which was the high point of the game. The 49ers responded immediately, scoring on their first possession and dominating the rest of the contest.

The Giants have allowed at least 33 points in each of their past three games during this skid.

“Nothing was good enough,” Daboll said, defending his decision to kick a field goal instead of going for it on fourth-and-goal from the 3-yard line — a choice that drew boos from the home crowd. “We have to keep working on our tackling. Whether it’s finishing tackles or finishing catches, we have to do better.”

Dart and Daboll have worked closely together since the Giants traded back into the first round to draft the Mississippi product as their future at football’s most important position.

When asked about pressure for a coaching change, Dart deferred. “I can only control what I can control,” he said. “As a team, we should be thinking the same way.”

Nectar Triantis makes immediate impact for Minnesota United

Leave a comment

During the summer transfer window, Minnesota United’s front office leaders faced the challenge of convincing 22-year-old Australian midfielder Nectar Triantis that moving to MLS was the right step for his budding career. Triantis was already playing in Europe—a favored continent among players—albeit in a lower-level league. In a strategic move, Triantis, who is of Greek descent, requested and received FIFA approval to switch his international allegiance to Greece, should he receive a call-up.

The sales pitch from Loons Chief Soccer Officer Khaled El-Ahmad proved successful. With a $722,665 salary that ranks eighth highest on the roster, Triantis joined Minnesota as an Under-22 Initiative signing on a four-and-a-half-year contract. He has since made a strong impact.

“He’s got that typical Aussie self-assurance, I would say, and it’s not misplaced in any way,” said head coach Eric Ramsay. “He’s obviously a very capable guy, a very capable footballer. I think he’s really fixated on making sure that he hits the highest level possible.”

Soon after his arrival in August, Triantis became a regular in Ramsay’s defensive midfield. His first start came in a significant match: the U.S. Open Cup semifinal loss to Austin. He then started the final four MLS regular-season games and played in Game 1 of the MLS Cup Playoffs last Monday.

Minnesota won Game 1, and the best-of-three series now shifts to Seattle for Game 2, scheduled for 9:45 p.m. CST Monday at Lumen Field. For Triantis, this string of games should put him firmly on the radar for the Greece senior national team and underscores his self-belief in reaching the highest levels of his career.

“He’s got a real point to prove,” Ramsay said. “He’s not come here to stand still in any way. He really wants to progress. And he’s obviously got characteristics that really help us.”

Standing 6-foot-3, Ramsay described Triantis as “a bit of a destroyer in the middle,” but also a player who is composed on the ball, capable of dribbling around opponents and delivering line-breaking passes.

In Game 1 against Seattle, the Loons spent long periods defending in a low block. When regaining possession, they needed players strong enough to handle the ball in critical moments.

“You can just see his personality and desire to want to help the team win,” said midfield teammate Wil Trapp. “I think it’s been really impressive from the beginning. You always want guys to come in and do it in a way that feels like they have confidence, that they can affect the game. I think he has done that in spades from the beginning. It’s been really fun.”

Triantis previously spent two seasons on loan at Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership, from Sunderland, which was promoted to the English Premier League this season. The Loons paid a $2.5 million transfer fee to Southampton to bring Triantis to MLS—an investment that is already proving to be a bargain.

In addition to his defensive and connecting roles, Triantis has demonstrated goal-scoring ability. He scored from the halfway line in his Loons debut against San Diego in September and added another long-range goal two weeks later against Colorado.

During Game 1 versus Seattle, Triantis took several dangerous shots and confidently stepped up to the penalty-kick spot, scoring a PK inside the left post during the Loons’ 3-2 shootout victory.

Loons assistant coach Cam Knowles, who organizes the PK lineup, showed confidence in Triantis by placing him second behind top taker Kelvin Yeboah.

When asked if he was nervous, Triantis replied, “Not really.”

It showed.
