“It exist.” Prolific electronica and jazz fusion musician Thundercat dropped a Twitter bomb on Friday, July 31st with a simple two-word tweet about the late hip-hop star Mac Miller. After a fan tweeted, “Imagine if [Thundercat] and [Mac Miller] did an entire album together,” the Grammy Award-winning record producer replied with a succinct yet far from ambiguous confirmation. “It exist,” he wrote.

TED NUGENT: ‘The ‘Black Lives Matter’ Movement Has Nothing To Do With Black Lives’
Outspoken conservative rocker Ted Nugent says that the “Black Lives Matter” movement “has nothing to do with black lives.” The “Black Lives Matter” movement was launched in the summer of 2013 by black organizers Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi after George Zimmerman was acquitted of the killing of Trayvon Martin. Following George Floyd‘s death in Minneapolis, the movement has gained even more attention. In a recent interview with conservative author and podcast host David J. Harris Jr., Nugent insisted that “Black Lives Matter” is a Marxist, anti-police, radical organization that wants to tear down America, and invoked a debunked conspiracy theory that George Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, is orchestr...
TRIUMPH’s RIK EMMETT: ‘We Were Always Riding On RUSH’s Coattails’
In a brand new interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station, TRIUMPH frontman Rik Emmett reflected on the passing of RUSH drummer Neil Peart and spoke about his personal relationship with his fellow legendary Canadian rockers. He said: “I met Neil only on a couple of occasions. Neil was not the kind of man who liked to go to industry functions; he didn’t do meet-and-greets; he didn’t hang around after gigs. He was a very private kind of a guy, and I respected that — I admired that in him. Kinship-wise, Alex [Lifeson, RUSH guitarist] and I were always well suited to each other, I think. When TRIUMPH was just a bar band playing The Gasworks on Yonge Street in Toronto, Alex came down to the gig and had a couple of beers and introduced himself to me. We’...
