What's up guys?!

Beija here for Complex!

Today we're seeing more and more rappers combine the rock-star lifestyle in not only

their music but their wardrobe as well.

Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and even Migos have embedded subtle and some not-so-subtle

rock characteristics to their already diverse personas.

However, we can all agree that Lil Uzi Vert is THE rapper who is religiously embracing

rock-n-roll culture.

The 22-year-old artist has shown his inspiration from rock in so many different ways.

Uzi's track "XO Tour Liife" is tagged as alternative rock on Soundcloud, his dare-devil

stage dives at live shows are ones for the books, and he's even posted videos of himself

vibin' to Paramore in the whip.

You also can't forget Uzi's bold rock-star apparel that has rebelled against society's

stereotype of masculinity.

Earlier this year Uzi was roasted on the Internet for rocking a low neck, distressed sweater

from Faith Connexion, a spiked choker and a Goyard satchel, and of course the average-mind

couldn't appreciate the fluidity and fearlessness that he displayed.

His consistency in being unashamed of his blend between men's and women's gear ties

relations to rockers like David Bowie or Iggy Pop.

These artists helped carve the path of rock's androgynous style, wearing makeup and skin-tight

leathers, embracing more feminine movements in their performances

while still being able to pull your chick at the same time.

The rock artist that we all know that has influenced Lil Uzi Vert the most is Marilyn

Manson.

Uzi has displayed his loyalty to the icon by getting custom Ben Baller work that was

iced-out with a spiked choker chain with a blinged-out Marilyn Manson face pendant.

The chain is a perfect example of how Uzi can take inspirations from rock-star aesthetics

in the past and blend it with the hip-hop flashy vibes of today.

He is straying away from the societal norms of what a rapper is supposed to sound and

dress like, and his boldness is something that you have to respect.

This isn't temporary or Lil Uzi looking for attention.

In a 2016 interview with Global Grind he said:

"I am a rock-star.

I am rage."

Even if you're not here for the androgynous, rock vibes, you have to respect Uzi's self-confidence.

I mean…he did rock a $2,400 women's Valentino white see-through blouse at the Billboard

Music Awards and none of us are dropping bread like that…yet.

So give props where they're due.

That's all the news for now but for more Uzi updates, be sure to subscribe to Complex

BREAKING: FBI Agent Who Killed Obama's Enemy Charged For His Crime | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:13.

A real instance of "hands up don't shoot"

has been ignored, all because the victim was white.

W. Joseph Astarita, an FBI agent involved in the shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum

last year, has been indicted on five counts.

The agent is charged with three counts of making false statements and two counts of

obstructing justice (via The Oregonian).

Citizens for Constitutional Freedom occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon

last year to protest the Bureau of Land Management's control over what they considered to be state

land.

The protest also had roots in the unfair treatment of the Hammonds, father and son ranchers from

Oregon.

They owned land that the Bureau of Land Management confiscated (via The Daily Wire).

The federal government had been purchasing land in the areas surrounding the Hammond's

ranch, restricting their access to grazing land and water in an attempt to force the

ranchers to sell their land.

The Hammonds were charged with arson over two fires they started on their own land,

with the permission of the Bureau of Land Management.

However, the flames grew and burned almost 140 acres of Federal land between them.

The Hammond family successfully doused the fires, and no firefighters were required to

respond to the scene.

Still, the state sought terrorism charges for the arson carrying a minimum of five years

in prison.

The government also won the right of refusal for the Hammonds' property, succeeding in

acquiring their land.

The Bundy family was sympathetic to the Hammond's as they have also been battling the Bureau

of Land Management for years.

Ammon Bundy led the protest and asked LaVoy Finicum to serve as the group's spokesperson.

The Wildlife Refugee was being held by protestors for weeks before the fatal shooting and protesters

were allowed to come and go as they pleased.

However, on January 26th, police attempted to arrest Finicum as he was leaving the property.

Finicum tried to avoid the police– starting a chase.

Police forced him off the road at a road block.

Finicum attempted to exit his vehicle with his arms outstretched, surrendering to the

police.

Agent Joseph Astarita shot at him twice.

Both shots missed Finicum, but one ricocheted off the truck striking Ryan Bundy.

Finicum waded through the snow and was shot three times.

Police claim he was reaching for a weapon.

Agent Astarita has been charged with lying about his involvement in the shooting.

The agent initially told supervising FBI agents that he had not fired any shots.

In reality, Astarita fired the shots that escalated the situation.

It is not clear if Finicum was reaching for his gun or was struggling to maintain his

balance in the snow.

What is clear, is that FBI agents escalated the situation and fired upon a suspect with

his hands up.

The Federal government wanted the protesters out of their hair, and they killed their spokesman

to send a message.

Do you think this was a political assassination?

BREAKING: Entire Congressional Black Caucus Caught In Major Scandal. Time For Prison! | Top Stories - Duration: 3:27.

Every once in a while a story comes up that is SO BLATANTLY hypocritical you cannot help

but shake your head.

That's right — we sure are talking about the Congressional Black Caucus.

The committee that is supposed to help African-American candidates get elected spends more money on

virtually EVERYTHING besides the actual cause they are meant to support.

A report dug up by The Washington Free Beacon exposes the truth.

The Congressional Black Caucus is spending their money on exotic resorts, the best food

money can buy, Broadway tickets, late nights out, and much, much more.

It is disgraceful.

The goal of the CBC, according to their website, is to raise "the number of African-Americans

in the U.S. Congress" as well as to "Support non-black candidates that champion our interests

and promote African American participation in the political process with an emphasis

on young voters."

When you read that description, it just leaves you in a state of shock.

For us, the last line is very telling.

They are looking for young voters because young voters today are easily manipulated;

malleable, if you will.

The CBC knows that if they have the young voters on their side, nothing can stand in

their way of living the lifestyle we all dream of while we trudge through our 9-5 every week.

The financial records show a disgusting trend.

First, we see the CBC spent $5,000 on one of the "world's top 50 tropical resorts"

in the Virgin Islands.

Surely they were just handling congressional business there, right?

There was another $4,500 spent by the group at a top class Italian restaurant called Un

Amore.

Maybe they were sponsoring dinners for all the potential candidates.

No?

Was it just them?

Oh.

It gets worse.

Besides all of the other miscellaneous expenses, things get further out of control when you

look at spending in New York and Washington.

One report shows OVER $40,000 spent at the Conrad Hotel, according to the official government

website.

We see other amounts totaling over $6000, $4000, and $3000 on MULTIPLE occasions.

EVERYONE should be alarmed by this revelation.

But this is still just the tip of the iceberg.

Multiple fundraising events costing over $28,000, $25,000, and $22,000 were put into play.

On top of that catering for ONE of those events cost over $27,000!

So, after hearing all of that, you must be wondering, how much money went to prospective

candidates for Congress?

The Free Beacon reports that a mere $91,000 went to actual candidates across the board.

It is DISGUSTING that these people are getting away with stealing all of this money and doing

whatever they want with it.

What kind of nonsense is this and why are these people not in jail?

Wait a second.

Obtaining a bunch of money for the SOLE purpose of getting Congress candidates into seats,

only to blow it all on you and your buddies without consequences sure sounds an awful

lot like a "black privilege" to us!

LOCK THESE PEOPLE UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!

Do YOU think that they the CBC is abusing their "black privilege?"

Please share this and tell us what you think.
