Trump Tours Mask Factory Without Mask as “Live or Let Die” Plays Over Loudspeaker
If you thought Vice President Mike Pence refusing to wear a mask at the Mayo Clinic was peak ridiculousness for this administration, you should’ve known better. Today, Donald Trump visited a Honeywell factory in Arizona that had been converted to manufacture N95 masks. Not only did the president not wear a mask, he toured the facility while Guns N’ Roses’ cover of “Live and Let Die” played on the sound system. Because let’s face it, considering how little this administration seems to understand or respect science, why would we expect them to pick up on irony? According to Washington Post reporter Zach Purser Brown, the music playing over the speakers appeared to be the same playlist from Trump’s rallies — except “Live and Let Die”, which was newly added. “The White House must have picked i...

Cam’Ron’s Double Dutch Routine Is The Best Thing On The Internet Now [Video]
Source: Tom Briglia / Getty As we all know Cam’ron has always been a man of many talents. He has now added rope jumping to his resume. As spotted on HipHopDX the Harlem native was spending some time with his family last week. On Thursday, April 30 he shared an impressive but nevertheless hilarious video of him double dutching. In the brief clip he is shown jumping with immaculate precision as two ladies twirl the ropes. The second half of the visual he adds some sauce to the jumping by dipping it low like Christina Milian. His caption read “My niece @reesylauren_ didn’t think I could jump. Had to stunt on da family at @sugadugga1988 crib” he wrote. While the video he posted displayed flawless coordination by the “Oh Boy” rapper when we looked into the matter further some une...
RenewedAF: HBO Renews ‘Insecure’ For Fifth Season
Source: HBO / HBO Fans of the hit show Insecure can rejoice after HBO announced that the show has been renewed for a fifth season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO announced the pickup comes after premiering only three episodes of the smash hit show’s fourth season, which premiered April 12. “We’re thrilled that Issa, Prentice [Penny], and the whole Insecure team will be getting back together for the fifth season,” HBO Programming Executive VP Amy Gravitt said in a statement. “As we laugh and cringe with recognition, their stories make us all feel a little less alone in the world.” Show star and co-creator Issa Rae responded to the news via Twitter over the weekend, tweeting Saturday that she is “Grateful to officially come back for Season 5.” Although the show, which air...

(Photo by Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images for Pandora) The Coronavirus might be messing up everyone’s Spring and Summer plans but that doesn’t seem to be effecting Cam’ron as it’s Killa Season all year ’round as far as he’s concerned. Continuing to stunt on his haters in his latest visuals to “Ride The Wave,” Killa enlists the talents of some extra thick women to serve as eye candy while he turns up in a deliriously red “Thriller” leather jacket. Cam stay taking fashion chances. From the OG’s to the YG’s, Young M.A finds herself taking on some managerial duties at a restaurant where bac...
15 EDM Songs MLB Baseball Sluggers Use When Stepping Up to the Plate
In his 2010 single “Thank Me Now,” Drake raps, “Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonymous / ‘Cause we want to be them, and they want to be us.” The relationship between music and sports is symbiotic. Music and sports lift each other up, and the people who engulf themselves in each respective realm share the same vigor, passion, and competitive spirit. That’s why it was all the more painful when the pandemic stampeded its way through our parks, stadiums, courts, and concert venues, forcibly stifling both the music and sports industries with one giant, rubber-gloved tsunami of paranoia and unprecedented stay-at-home ordinances. While those in the music industry have managed to connect with fans via livestreamed concerts and magnificent, lo...

Jordan Burns Drops Stunning Deep House Ballad “Anyone”
Brisbane-based producer Jordan Burns today released his new single “Anyone,” a captivating, melodic deep house tune that beautifully roams the euphoric peaks and brooding valleys of both future and deep house. At a slow-burning 124 BPM, “Anyone” is more ballad than banger. Burns employs lush pads, melancholic chord progressions, and the velvety “anytime” vox sample, which is shrewdly pitched down, to set the tone in the verses. Eschewing the use of crunchy saws and metallic bass patches, like he did with his April 2nd release of the menacing “Blown (feat. I.E),” Burns opts for more honeyed, melodic production elements here. The subtle nuances of his refreshing sound are evident throughout, like his sporadic use of airy vocal chops i...

The Artist Digital Revenue Program is proving artists have a lot to gain by focusing their efforts on Unitea as we...
FKA twigs: MAGDALENE
From her first video, 2012’s mesmerizing “Hide,” the singular focus of her vision was apparent, a holistic project that rendered FKA twigs’ operatic approach to club beats inextricable from her astounding art direction. In the seven years since, she has made her art into a kind of theatrical multimedia experience, crafting elaborate shows and videos that intertwine and smudge the lines of classicism and the avant-garde. She is astonishing, ambitious, and seemingly good at everything, singing over her own ticker-tape beats, self-directing wildly conceptual videos, and ravenously hoovering up dance disciplines (apparently up to and including Chinese sword fighting) until she masters them. Yet in spite of twigs’ distinctive soprano (spectral and often papery) and her experimental production (...
Davido: A Good Time
For the last several years, Davido has been reshaping the sound of Nigerian pop. As a prolific hitmaker and one of Africa’s biggest stars, he has pivoted away from global ambitions toward revamping the traditional sounds of his homeland. He released his debut album, Omo Baba Olowo, seven years ago and hasn’t released another until now. It feels like the stars aligned for it: Drake is still courting the sound, Burna Boy has a Grammy nom, UMG is moving into the region, and the music is crashing into our shores. A Good Time is a nearly gapless immersion into his potent, wavy signature sound. Nigerian pop music—with its endorsement-based revenue structure and rejection of collaborative songwriting—isn’t really conducive to ideas like cohesion. Davido has championed the use of songwriters, and ...
