Inspired diva-in-training Ariana Grande played an acoustic set with guitarist Dan Kanter in support of her forthcoming debut, Yours Truly (Sept. 3). She performed her singles, “Baby I” and “The Way.” Read More
Chief Keef’s formula for viral music videos goes against the grain. The videos are usually under the standard three to four minutes and shot on cameras choppier than the rhubarb protector’s. Also, models are seldom involved.
His latest video, “Morgan Tracy,” is no different. Keef and a couple of his blunt and Styrofoam cup-toting friends filmed a video for the Bang 2 track on a balcony. Read More
Comedians Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Helms and Will Forte fill in for Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane, known to the world as Mumford & Sons. Don’t worry, though; the switch-up is temporary.
Despite being incredibly convincing, JasonSquared & Sons probably won’t be strumming banjos and mandolins at a barn near you any time soon. (Well, Ed might.) The four comedians adopted the O’ Brother, Where Art Thou?-esque routine for Mumford & Sons’ “Hopeless Wanderer” video.
“Hopeless Wanderer” is lifted from Mumford’s double platinum album, Babel, which won “Album of the Year” at the 2013 Grammys.
It’s leaders, and it’s followers…Drake is undoubtedly a leader. How else do we define a guy that brought out Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, TLC, J. Cole, Miguel, A$AP Rocky, Wale, Big Sean, French Montana and The Weeknd during his set? On top of that, he reunited Diddy and Mase.
Before treating the 4th annual OVO Festival attendees with Kanye, Drake addressed the rumors of his now-defunct feud with Wayne. ”‘Yo, where Wayne at?’,” he reenacts. “Nigga, we both busy, I ain’t gotta explain that!” Read More
Remember the St. Lunatics’ “Batter Up” video? Casey Veggies’ “The Team” video is essentially that on a tighter production budget and no cameo from a legendary actor. Rest peacefully, Sherman Hemsley.
In the video, directed by Zack Warren, Casey and friends, along with a few booty-shaking cheerleaders, go from the dugout to the field celebrating Alex Rodriguez’s game of choice. Casey, clad in a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey, hit a few infield pop-ups during his times up to bat. Perhaps he’s anti-PED.
To say Robin Thicke is riding the “Blurred Lines” wave would be an understatement. Despite already setting a few career highs, Robin continues pushing the summer smash to the masses.
Using classroom instruments, Robin, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots played the song for a special on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Black Thought came through with a verse. Read More
Cory Gunz (remember him?) gathered a group of local homies, got higher than satellites and filmed a video for a song containing a reference to Mortal Kombat’s “Baraka.” The song, produced by D-Roc, is included on his Datz WTF I’m Talkin Bout mixtape. Read More
Jay Z releases the “performance art piece” for “Picasso Baby,” a song lifted from his Magna Carta… Holy Grail album.
