Source: Twitter | @leadersofthenew / Twitter Racists always deserve a proper fade. A white guy refused to stop saying the N-word while he was checking out at a convenience store, which led to him catching a tall can fade via the man of color who gave him plenty of outs to avoid a beatdown. 😳😳😳 pic.twitter.com/5o7Jy1HLFd — Leaders Of The New (@LeadersOTN) December 24, 2020 Video of the incident made it online (see above), and it’s a winner. A tall slim white dude is seen adamantly refusing to stop saying the N-word to a man who looks like he is Latino. “I’m a say n*gga all day. All every day,” says the maskless, broke Doogie Howser lookalike. “Are you kidding me? Where are from from, n*gga?” Notable is before he says this, he tells the man, “I’m not trying to disresp...
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. Its drops are produced in half-time, making the arrangement perfect for his nuanced future bass design to shine through. This sound is a prime example of San’s “stay vibrant” branding, which is highlighted by warm, poignant sound design and overarching messages of positivity. It’s a sound that his fans have welcomed with open arms amid a year to forget. Check out...
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...
PEARL JAM frontman Eddie Vedder will release the “Matter Of Time” bundle on Friday, December 25 via Monkeywrench/Republic Records. Just in time for Christmas, he expands on the previously released two-track set and collects a series of acoustic songs and covers performed and recorded throughout 2020. He presents all of these tracks together for the first time in one comprehensive collection which also includes an acoustic cover of Bruce Springsteen‘s song “Growin’ Up”. Among the additions, the project includes a powerful acoustic rendition of “Future Days” from the 2020 Game Awards, which he performed remotely and beamed into the show. The track originally concluded PEARL JAM‘s 2013 tenth album “Lightning Bolt” and also appe...
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...

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 ...
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...
Soul marks a series of firsts for Pixar. It’s the first film the studio has ever released with a Black protagonist, a music teacher voiced by Jamie Foxx; it’s the studio’s first film with a Black co-director in screenwriter Kemp Powers; and the first Pixar film to go straight to streaming. Due out on Christmas via Disney+, Soul follows Joe Gardner (Foxx), a music teacher whose aspirations of performing jazz come to fruition after he nabs a cushy performing gig with a well-respected group. That is, until he falls to his death. Now, left as a metaphysical soul, Joe endeavors to return to Earth to his body before it’s too late. It’s an imaginative journey that the Emeryville, California-based animation studio brings to life with a startling array of visuals that feel unprecedented. Edito...
You better not pout, ARMY members, because BTS’ Jimin and V have gifted fans a pair of new Christmas songs, “Christmas Love” and “Snow Flower”. Jimin’s “Christmas Love” is a snappy pop number that shines as crisply as a blanket of fresh snow. The “love” of the track title isn’t about a specific person, however, and more about the feeling this time of year brings to many. Roughly translated from Korean, Jimin sings, “Christmas I love you/ Oh, you’re the one forever/ I wish it was today.” As he explained in a post on the official BTS blog (again, translated from Korean), Jimin wrote the song to reconnect with his childhood memories of the holidays: “As we grew, feeling responsibility for what we have, that responsibility made us, who were innocent, mature and I think that enables us to hide ...
“Amen,” released on Wednesday (Dec. 23) just in time for Christmas, brings together Ricardo, Mau, Ricky and Evaluna Montaner, together with Camilo. “We wrote it all together and yes, it’s the first time we all collaborate together,” said Ricardo Montaner, speaking from the family kitchen, where the extended family was preparing for the 5 p.m. release of the song. “It’s one of the richest professional –not to mention personal—experiences I’ve ever lived.” “Amen” is an anthemic appeal for help and closure. Although the Montaners are devout Christians and Ricardo Montaner in particular often has religious connotations in his songs, the chorus of “Amen, Amen, take away my pain”—can be applied to many situations. “Amen is a universal word that has the same meaning in any language; it’s the word...
