Rolling Stones Protest Trump Using Their Music at Rally, Threaten Lawsuit
The Rolling Stones are “taking further steps” to stop Donald Trump from playing their music at his rallies after using “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” in Tulsa, Okla., on June 20. In a statement on Saturday (June 27), a rep for the Stones said the band’s legal team is working with performing rights organization BMI, who notified the president’s campaign that the use of their songs is unauthorized and would “constitute a breach of its licensing agreement.” Further use “would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed.” “This could be the last time Trump uses any Jagger/Richards songs on his campaigns,” the statement read. As Tulsa World reported, “You Can’...

History never is a straight line of progress. There are setbacks, there’s side to side.” Lambert...

Megan Thee Stallion Shouts Out Rihanna And Sasuke On Swaggering ‘Girls In The Hood’
As much as 2019 felt like Megan Thee Stallion‘s summer, mid-2020 has already yielded the ascendant Houston MC her first No. 1 single, a teeny new puppy, and new EP that hit the top 10. Now, it’s all about “Girls in the Hood,” her follow-up single to “Savage” that dropped at midnight on Friday (June 26). On it, Megan updates Eazy-E’s classic “Boyz-n-the-Hood” for the Instagram generation, rapping about stealing your man, asserting herself, and spending money. “I’m a hot girl / I do hot shit,” she raps, “Spend his income / On my outfit.” The song is two minutes and 34 seconds of pure, glimmering explicit shit talk from one of the top artists of her time, and it’s great, brimming with the hilarious bragg...
Victoria Monét Gives ‘All You Need,’ Dai Burger’s Runway Romp, And More Songs We Love
Nothing screams Pride quite as much as a song about love and resilience, so Vincint’s “Save Myself” makes the perfect anthem to celebrate this month. The song features a lively dance-pop beat superimposed with Vincint’s soulful, airy vocals, creating a song so decadently pop, yet sonically gorgeous. The personal lyrics encapsulate the feeling of finding independence within a relationship, defining boundaries, and wanting passion rather than needing help. It’s rare to find a love song that promotes such a healthy, fully realized state of mind. The single, released as part of Vincint’s debut EP, The Feeling, is accompanied by an adorable video, featuring fans singing and dancing to the song in their homes during quarantine. Since dancing in the streets won’t be possible this time around, dan...
Katy Perry Calls For Justice For Breonna Taylor And Tony McDade In Stonewall Day Speech
June 2020 has been no ordinary Pride Month. What is typically a colorful commemoration of love, community, and the richness of LGBTQ+ identity has been largely overshadowed by an ongoing pandemic, which has forced gay bars to close, parades to be canceled, and people to celebrate from home. But in many ways, it has also been a return to the holiday’s protest roots, with many people around the country taking to the streets to demand justice for Black lives. Pop idol Katy Perry spoke to the complexities of these intersecting movements in a somber, yet hopeful, address during Stonewall Day, the star-studded Pride Live event honoring the anniversary and legacy of the six-day riots in 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in New York that spawned the gay liberation movement. Wearing dangling, ra...
