Source: Pacific Press / Getty Donald Trump‘s contempt for democratic states that he has no chance of winning in November’s elections is as obvious as his orange tanned peel, but now he’s taking his hatred for blue states to another level as he’s threatening to pull federal funding for places like New York City, Portland and Seattle as they’ve allowed people to protest as the constitution allows them to. According to the New York Daily News, Donald Trump recently signed a memo ordering federal agencies to send reports to the White House budget office detailing funds allotted to cities in an attempt to punish them for letting people protest police brutality and citing the rise in shootings as reasoning for the move. “My Administration will not allow Federal tax dollars to fund cities th...

Yesterday Disney’s official Twitter account brought joy and tears to Force followers when they announced that The Mandalorian has officially been set with a premier date of October 30th.

Needless to say expectations are high given the first season was such a hit it garnered 15 Emmy nominations incl...
DaBaby’s latest offering Blame It On DaBaby deluxe album has been bumping all over the place since it’s August 4th release, and with the Fall underway, the North Carolina rapper is looking to ride his wave all the way to the end of the year. Choosing to drop visuals for the Quavo assisted “Pick Up,” DaBaby finds himself traveling through time and space while Quavo exterminates some pests in some Off-White Jordan V’s. Them kicks go hard. Through us a pair or two, Virgil! Gunna meanwhile gets his Birdbox on and for his visuals to “Blindfold” links up with Lil Baby to walk around, well, blindfolded. Of course you know they’d push some Lambo’s in a post-apocalyptic world with rags around their eyes. Might as well live on the edge. Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from A Boogi...
Source: VCG / Getty Future and Eliza “Reign” Seraphin’s child support saga has taken an interesting turn after the pair settled on a surprisingly low monthly payment for their one-year-old daughter, Reign Wilburn. As reported by Madamenoire, Future has been ordered to pay $3,200 per month to Seraphin until their daughter turns 18 years old. Originally, he offered $1,000 after Seraphin demanded $53,000. Both proposals were rejected, which is why their settled amount raises more questions than answers. Last year Forbes released its annual “World’s 20 Top-Earning Hip-Hop Stars” list, ranking the 36-year-old rapper in the 17th slot for earning an estimated $19.5 million between June 2018 and June 2019. Considering he’s been a super troll on social media for throwing sublimina...
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH‘s North American tour with PAPA ROACH, I PREVAIL and ICE NINE KILLS has officially been canceled. The trek was originally set to take place this past spring before being rescheduled for the fall due to the coronavirus pandemic which is sweeping the globe. Earlier today, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH released the following statement via social media: “We were really looking forward to get the green light for hitting the road in 2020.

Rest assured, we are watching the situation very closely and we will be back on the road the moment it becomes possible. “We hope to see you guys soon and in the meanti...
In a recent interview with SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover spoke about former PURPLE guitarist Ritchie Blackmore reputation for being moody and egotistical. Asked if he thinks Ritchie‘s sullenness and even outright hostility is “somewhat of a put-on to create all this mystery around him” or if he thinks that’s really how Blackmore is wired, Roger responded: “I think both. I think he is wired that way, but then enjoys it — he enjoys putting people on edge and people not quite knowing what he’s up to. That’s his personality, I guess. But he’s, first and foremost, a musician, and you’ve gotta take the music away from the man. ‘Cause the music alone is brilliant — he was a...

In a brand new interview with “The Hardcore Humanism With Dr. Mike” podcast, LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe offered his perspective on the well-known downside of social media, which is the addiction it creates. “This is one thing that worries me for the younger generation, who are raised with these things,” he said (hear audio below). “The ‘pocket Jesus,’ as I call it, the cell phone, has everything you need; it’s your savior. The world is your oyster. “For instance, I’ve traveled the world. I’ve been to every continent except for Antarctica. I can tell you there is a vast, vast difference from looking at pictures of, let’s say, the Highlands in Scotland, or watching a documentary about the Highlands in Scotland — y...
It had to happen at some point. After a three-year wait since her debut album Ctrl, and a string of loose features to hold us over, R&B superstar SZA has just made an otherwise tame New Music Friday a rollercoaster for fans with the release of her latest video and single, “Hit Different,” featuring vocals for Ty Dolla $ign and legendary production duo The Neptunes. The track kicks off with Pharrell’s classic four-count start and works its way into a repeated line from the king of features himself in Ty. SZA takes control of the verses and the visuals as well — the video for the mellow new track, which is filmed on top of haystacks, with various animals and in the middle of a car-laced junkyard is her directorial debut, and the expert-level choreography is just a reminder. Fans kne...
Billie Joe Armstrong has been no stranger to covers throughout quarantine, but his latest rendition of a new wave classic might just take the cake for his best yet. The Green Day frontman just dropped his Amazon Original cover of Wreckless Eric’s “Whole Wide World” on Friday. The punk legend takes the 1977 Nick Lowe-produced track that’s fairly faithful to the original with some extra tambourine and clapping here. The track follows a summer filled with weekly covers, including Eric Carmen’s “That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll” and The Wonders’ “That Thing You Do!” from the 1996 film of the same out of tribute to the late Adam Schlesinger.

Evergreen rock and roll titans The Hives have announced a new live album called Live at Third Man Records. The seven-song LP is due out September later this month, but the Swedish punk troupe are previewing it today with a kick-ass rendition of their 2000 hit “Hate to Say I Told You So”. The Hives are known for their high-energy sets (which they always perform while decked out in crisp suits), so it’s a little surprising that it took them this long to put out a live record. Regardless, the garage revivalists sound as tight as hell and electric as ever while busting out “Hate To Say”, a song that hasn’t aged a day in the 20 years since its release. Take a listen below. In addition to early-era staples like “Main Offender” and “Walk Idiot Walk”, Live At Third Man Records featu...
