On To The Next One?: Square Is Reportedly Trying To Cop Tidal From JAY-Z
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Is JAY-Z’s time as the owner of Tidal coming to an end? Bloomberg reports that Square, the payments company ran by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is reportedly trying to buy Tidal from JAY-Z, who acquired the music streaming service from Aspiro, a Norwegian-based company, back in 2015 for $56 million. According to a source who requested not to be named because the talks have been private and that the deal has not been guaranteed, Dorsey has been discussing with Jigga to purchase Tidal to diversify Square’s business. This news is intriguing because Tidal has been “struggling” to compete with direct competitors like Spotify and Apple Music. The company hasn’t been forthright when it comes to sharing subscription numbers, so it remains a mystery about exactly how w...

Source: Prince Williams / Getty It’s been a struggle end to the year for Meek Mill due to, well, his ways and actions, but still the Philadelphia rapper isn’t letting it all dampen his Christmas spirit and has taken to the streets to spread some of that brotherly love Philly is known for.

Culture Vulture Cover: AR-Ab Denies His VladTV Interview Got Him Pinched By The Feds
Source: @Justinmyview / Radio-One At this point Hip-Hop is half cancel culture and conspiracy culture. One rapper clears up the notion that a platform but him behind bars. As spotted on HipHopDX AR-Ab has done his first interview since getting arrested on federal drug charges. In an over the phone conversation with the Flip Da Script podcast he touched on several points regarding his current situation. Naturally the topic of DJ Vlad came up as over the years several rappers have attempted to put a snitch jacket on the Russian media mogul. About three years ago the former associate of Cassidy conducted a sit down with the journalist. While he touched on a bevy of topics regarding his story it was his admissions of running a drug ring that went viral. In his discussion with QueenzFlip a...

San Holo Celebrates the Holidays With Remix of Wham!’s 1984 Classic “Last Christmas”
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially when San Holo releases new music. To celebrate the holidays this year, the future bass titan dropped a new remix of Wham!‘s “Last Christmas.” Santa Holo San Holo flipped the 1984 holiday classic into a melodic trap tune with a cinematic feel, using acoustic guitar plucks and lush synths to flesh out the track’s backbone.

It’s a sound that his fans have welcomed with open arms amid a year to forget. Check out...
SHARON OSBOURNE Back Home For The Holidays After Two Negative COVID-19 Tests
Less than two weeks after Sharon Osbourne revealed that she had tested positive for coronavirus, she has been cleared to return home. On Wednesday (December 23), Ozzy Osbourne‘s wife and manager shared an Instagram photo of her husband at home wearing a mask, along with their five dogs, and she included the following message: “Got the ok to go home after two negative test results and look at the joy waiting for me! So grateful to be home for the holidays and thank you all so much for your love and support. Stay safe and wishing you the happiest of holidays”. When the Emmy-winning host of “The Talk” first revealed her positive diagnosis on December 14, she said she was hospitalized for the infectious disease for a short time and was isolating away from Ozzy, wh...

Swedish Court Dismisses GHOST’s Lawsuit Against British Vodka Makers
The makers of Ghost, the hand-crafted British ultra-premium vodka, appear to have won the legal battle against GHOST leader Tobias Forge over the sale of their product. Earlier this year, Ghost Drinks Ltd. was sued by the Swedish occult rock band over the use of the name. Since GHOST had also marketed a gin using the group’s name, Forge and his representatives claimed the vodka could conceivably have caused marketplace confusion. The vodka company, which launched in June 2015, countered that the GHOST mainman had known about their product since 2016. On December 22, the Swedish Patent And Market Court, which deals with intellectual property infringement and validity cases, issued a judgment saying that the term “ghost” is a generic word and is therefore free for Ghost Dri...

Jenny Lewis and Bill Murray Get Into the Holiday Spirit With Drake Cover
This year has offered us many strange things. But one of the good ones has been the ongoing artist collaborations that have taken place that are seemingly of the moment. Longtime pals Jenny Lewis and Bill Murray joined in on the fun on Wednesday (Dec. 23) night. In an Instagram Live jam session, the pair covered Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later.” You definitely didn’t have Lewis and Murray covering Drake on your 2020 bingo card, but it makes sense, all things considered. This isn’t the first time the pair linked up. In 2015, Lewis and Murray joined forces on the Sofia Coppola-helmed special A Very Murray Christmas. A few weeks ago, Lewis teamed with Serengeti for the holiday-tinged “Unblu.” Meanwhile, Murray went back-and-forth with the Doobie Brothers in a rare, good-natured legal ...
Minari Submitted to Golden Globes as Foreign Language Film, Ineligible for Best Picture
Producers of the film festival darling and critically acclaimed Minari have stirred controversy by submitting the film for the Golden Globes’ Best Foreign Language Film category, making it ineligible for Best Picture. Though mostly in Korean, Minari is a quintessentially American-made film. It was produced by an American company (A24), written and directed by an American filmmaker (Lee Isaac Chung), shot in America, and stars a South Korean-American actor (Steven Yeun). Even the plot is all about the American story, that of an immigrant family fighting for their dreams. Yet, because of Golden Globe rules, the movie was submitted under the Best Foreign Language Film category. According to The Los Angeles Times, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s rules for submissions classify a forei...
10 Times Lemmy Was the Coolest Man on Earth
While the rock world will never forget the legendary Lemmy Kilmister, late December is an especially poignant time to commemorate his legacy. This year, December 24th marks what would have been the late Motörhead frontman’s 75th birthday, while December 28th marks five years since the passing of one of rock’s all-time great icons. Few rockers were as instantly memorable and recognizable as Lemmy. Whether it be his lifestyle (pushing life to the max via his party-hearty ways), his looks (long hair, facial hair, and signature facial moles), or his music (penning dozens of headbanging classics that have influenced countless other artists, and have only improved with age), there will never be another gentleman like Ian Fraser Kilmister. So, what better way to celebrate the life of the late, gr...
