It’s certainly uneasy to listen to records like “Kim”, a violent screaming match that just so happened to be a rap song. But it’s a singular vision that only the Detroit legend could’ve pulled off. “Eminem could […]

We know how much 50 Cent loves to troll people. There’s decades worth of antagonism underneath his belt, the mean-spirited jabs at all of his rivals. He thrives off of the negativity and will spend a lifetime feuding with people like Ja Rule. However, underneath that hardened exterior is still a human being dealing with grief like everyone else. One of the most formative experiences in his life was the […]

His 2015 album I Don’t Like S**t, I Don’t Go Outside was extremely stark and lyrically dense, digging deep into paranoia and depression. “I was f***ed up when I made ‘Grief’,” he told Pitchfork in 2015. “I had been prescribed to be inside because I had f***ing medical exhaustion, so I was asleep for, like, three weeks […]

Typically, artists treat albums like their babies. It’s a massive labor of love, even when the music business can make them cynical.

We’ve traveled to 1998 and looked back at 1994, but what about the late 80s? What album releases defined the year 1988? More than you’d think, probably. Here’s an eclectic mix of politically conscious rap, indie rock evolution, heavy metal, and whatever the hell Pixies were up to. ‘Daydream Nation’ by Sonic Youth Daydream Nation, released in October 1988, signified the evolution of Sonic Youth’s studio sound into something more […]

Future has embodied everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Teddy Pendergrass over the years. But would you ever expect him to try his hand at Black Sabbath? Evidently, he’s a massive fan of Ozzy Osbourne and wanted to work with him long before the iconic rocker passed away. In a 2012 interview with Complex, the Atlanta legend shared what he loved about Ozzy’s music back then. Ultimately, he marvels at how […]

TikTok influencer Gabbie Gonzalez has reportedly been arrested for allegedly trying to hire a dark web hit man to kill pop singer Jack Avery, who is the father of her child. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Gonzalez—a 24-year-old lifestyle content creator—was booked into the Humboldt County jail in Eureka, California, on Friday, May 15. Subsequently, she was charged with a murder-for-hire plot in Los Angeles County. Her father, Francisco Gonzalez, and […]

Not only that, but he said this while Thom Yorke of Radiohead was in the room.
