The interesting story behind the Crying Jordan Meme, perhaps one of the most popular memes of all time, in addition to being the most popular sports-related meme of all time. 

Often used when a sports team, player, or person in general messes up, loses, trips, falls, makes a mistake, etc. This meme has taken on a life of it’s own.

This awesome video by 2 Point Lead, gives the inside look on various opinions of the meme, an interview with the AP photographer that shot the original photo, and the history of the meme and it’s development into a universally recognized reference to someone losing or failing. 

While this doesn’t tarnish anything Jordan has accomplished, he is in our opinion the greatest basketball player of the modern era, it’s interesting that a photo of one of the greatest athletes of all time is used in reference to someone doing something bad or wrong. Maybe we should start using a Ryan Lochte photo from now on.

DJ PAUL, GOD FATHER of THREE 6 MAFIA Interview

Here at Broken Window Theory, we are huge fans of Three 6 Mafia, we grew up listening to all of their underground mixtapes throughout middle school and high school. 

Their sinister sound and themes were guided by the real driving force behind the group itself DJ Paul. Paul and his brother Lord Infamous put Memphis music on the map and never looked back.

This interview on No Jumper is a very great look at DJ Paul’s life and career, but also it covers the group and their rise to fame!

Definitely worth a watch, DJ Paul influenced all the great rappers you love today like ASAP ROCKY, Travis Scott,Young Thug, and others.

If you’re not familiar with Three 6 Mafia, go download/buy Mystic Styles and prepare to hear some of the best southern rap ever.

Remembering the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta

Watching all these great American and international athletes in the Olympics this month has got us feeling so nostalgic! 

Some of you all might be too young to remember this, but the Olympics in Atlanta was a huge deal for this city. The Olympics really put Atlanta on the map internationally, we as a city showed that we were indeed a world class city. 

Some of our favorite moments in the Olympics included watching a young Floyd Mayweather boxing (even though he was cheated out of a shot at the gold medal), playing in the water fountains at Centennial Olympic Park as kids, and of course the greatest fighter of all time Muhammad Ali lighting the torch!

It’s also crazy to think that Turner Field (the home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team) was once a round 85,000 person stadium that housed a lot of major Olympic events like track and field. Now Turner Field is going to be converted into a multi-sport stadium by our alma-mater Georgia State University.

Atlanta is an ever-changing beast, but we keep finding reasons to love it more and more every year.

Cheers to ATL and the Olympics.

21 Savage is a honestly genuine person, during the course of this interview we get a peek into what he’s actually like.

He talks about past hardships in his life, including losing people close to him.

21 Savage also covers a bit of his personal history, experiences in school, and his rise to trap-stardom. 

Look for good stuff in the future from this artist, his chant-like melodic flows are infectious and get stuck in your head like an earwig. With major co-signs from people like Future and Gucci, look for 21 Savage to be murdering beats and music for a long time. 

21 21 21 21!

The terminus print is up for purchase on the webstore!

This print ties in Atlanta's past with present: Terminus was Atlanta's name at its initial inception in 1837, the meeting point of railroads from Savannah to the Midwest. 

The 'zero milepost' of the railroad was driven into the ground at present day 5 Points in Downtown ATL. This graphic is also available as a t-shirt perfect for anyone who loves Atlanta! .

ESPO (Stephen Powers) was the king of New York City for awhile, he had a really funny process for getting these big metal roll up door walls around the city.

He would start painting the roll up door a blank white or grey color, appearing to be actually cleaning the door of graffiti (like small tags and throw ups).

If anyone tried to stop him, he would tell them he was with ESPO which stood for ‘Exterior Surface Painting Outreach.’ Since the name sounded official, ESPO tended to get away with painting over walls and was able to get up all over NYC.

In addition he would paint his pieces in advertisement style at times so they would really look like they belonged on the wall.

Today, he’s a dedicated mural and sign painter around the USA and the world, but he’ll always remain a graffiti inspiration for us.

DJ ESCO has been extremely instrumental in the music takeover Future has been on the past 2 or so years. 

Starting as the resident DJ in Atlanta’s world famous Magic City strip club, Esco would play some of Future’s early hits in the club on popular nights and helped Future’s music grow more.

He was responsible for some of Future’s most popular mixtapes, 56 Nights, Purple Reign, Monster, What A Time To Be Alive (with Drake), and his most recent heat ‘Esco Terrestrial.’

This interview is pretty cool, you can really see ESCO’s growth as a musician and person, and we always love seeing folks from Atlanta get their due credit and shine.

 Next time you’re in Las Vegas stop by Drai’s Club, ESCO is guaranteed to turn it up there as one of the club’s newest resident DJs.

Thanks to HYPEBEAST for putting together this dope video.
