Questlove Shares Timeline Update on The Roots’ Next Album
Academy Award-winning director Questlove has officially confirmed that The Roots are on track to finishing up their next album. In a recent interview with HipHopDX, the multi-faceted artist gave an official update on the Philly group’s upcoming mixtape. He told the publication, “Here’s the weird thing. In a normal world, I would’ve done this film, it would’ve came out and I would’ve promoted it for maybe eight to 12 weeks. And then, once it’s done its thing, then it’s over. And of course, a funny thing happened was that Disney’s like, ‘Hey, this is Oscar caliber.’ And I’m like, ‘Huh? You sure?’ And so, that part of my life, I didn’t plan. I mean, I’m glad it happened, but what it did do was it pushed our album back from happening. So right now, there is a very short window before I start m...
Dissecting Beyoncé’s ‘RENAISSANCE’ Samples
Last Friday, Beyoncé released her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE. Since, it has broken the Spotify record for the most-streamed album in a single day by a female artist in 2022 and has caused a fair share of controversy thanks to a reported sample “theft” and for the use of an ableist word in “Heated.” Alas, RENAISSANCE’s innate passion for inspiring a groove comes with plenty of representation. It sings to the Black and queer communities, bringing people together through their shared love for, and histories with, house music via way of sampling. Now that we’ve all (hopefully) heard the album, Hypebeast has dissected each track’s core samples and dug deeper into their history – revealing how Chicago house, funk and soul, viral YouTube clips, gospel songs, New Orleans Bounce music and so...
Amazon Prime Mistakes Steel Panther for Mötley Crüe on Documentary Page
Shout at the devil? More like shout at the graphic designer. In a hilarious snafu, Amazon Prime has mistakenly used a photo of modern glam-metal satirists Steel Panther in the splash artwork for the 2020 Mötley Crüe documentary, Rock ‘n Roll Icon: Mötley Crüe. The latter’s logo is emblazoned over the wrong band. Even more bizarre, an actual picture of current-day Mötley Crüe can be seen in the top right, but it’s cutoff so you can’t see their faces. It appears a Steel Panther fan discovered the image, with frontman Michael Starr taking to Instagram to repost it. Adding further irony, Steel Panther are known for parodying ’80s glam metal bands like Mötley Crüe, which is the source of beef between Starr and Nikki Sixx.

Jake Gyllenhaal to Star in Road House Remake
Prime Video has greenlit a remake of the classic 1989 film Road House starring Jake Gyllenhaal. It will be directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity), with Joel Silver returning as producer after serving in the same role for the original. The reimagining centers around a former UFC fighter, played by Gyllenhaal, who takes a job as a bouncer at “a rough-and-tumble roadhouse in the Florida Keys, but soon discovers that not everything is what it seems in this tropical paradise.” Gyllenhaal has some big shoes to fill. The late Patrick Swayze starred in the original as the now-iconic Dalton, a bouncer with a philosophy degree hired to clean up the rowdy Double Deuce bar in a small town in Missouri. Though it was nominated for five Razzie awards — including Worst Picture and Swayze f...
Errol Musk Says “No,” He’s Not Proud of Elon, Calls Skinnier Son His Favorite
Errol Musk continues to make his son Elon look better by comparison. In a new interview with The Kyle & Jackie Show, the elder Musk said, “No,” when asked if he’s proud of the Tesla founder, before going on to fat-sham Elon, recommended a weight-loss supplement that has been called “dangerous,” and then tell the world which of his children is actually his favorite. The 79-year-old patriarch explained that he wasn’t over-the-moon about his 51-year-old’s accomplishments because “we are a family that have been doing a lot of things for a long time. It’s not as if we suddenly started doing something.” He also joked (?) that Elon owed his smarts to “a chap who used to visit us when I wasn’t at home… he delivered milk,” and complained about how long different Elon projects are taki...
