Megan Thee Stallion and Future Drop Collab “Pressurelicious”
Megan Thee Stallion has teamed up with Future for her newest single, “Pressurelicious.” Clocking in at just under three minutes, the cut is produced by HitKidd and hears both artists celebrating strong and confident women from two different perspectives — Megan as the woman and Future as a loving and supportive partner who does not feel emasculated. “Pressurelicious” marks the Houston Hottie’s third release of 2022, following “Plan B” in April and the Dua Lipa collab “Sweetest Pie” in March. In her recent Rolling Stone cover story, Megan revealed that Future is one of her favorite rappers. “He just so f*cking ratchet!” she said. “He is unapologetically himself. I appreciate that about anybody who gets up and has to do anything in the public eye. Anybody who has to read about their lif...

Netflix’s Ad-Support Tier Will Not Give You Access to All of Its Shows
Just a week ago, Netflix announced a new partnership with Microsoft to provide more affordable ad-supported tiers to its viewers, but it now turns out that the cheaper subscription tier won’t actually give you access to the streaming platform’s entire library. According to a new report from Deadline, Netflix‘s co-CEO and chief content officer Ted Sarandos confirmed that while Netflix Originals will all be available, third-party films and shows may not be available for those in the ad-supported tier due to licensing issues. “Today, the vast majority of what people watch on Netflix, we can include in the ad-supported tier,” Sarandos first reassured before going into the less pleasant news. “There’s some things that don’t and we’re in conversations with the studios on, but if we launched...

Flume Is Sitting On an Album’s Worth of House Music
Flume is living the post-Palaces good life, enjoying the comedown of yet another critically acclaimed album release. He’s hanging out with his dog, surfing as much as possible, and living off-grid in a house with its own solar panel and water tank, according to a recent interview with NME. Oh, and he’s also sitting on “a full album’s worth of house music” just waiting to be finished off, he revealed. Flume also implied that the unreleased cuts are leftovers from when he was developing the creative vision for Palaces. “I mean I’ve got a full album’s worth of house music that’s just sitting there that I just need to finish off,” Flume said. “I’ve got loads of demos, some of them have got strong parts for sure.

‘Better Call Saul’s Kim Wexler and the Sexism of the Anti-Heroine
“I learned my lesson. I’m never going to write for less-than-perfect women ever again; less-than-likable [women].” That’s a quote from Breaking Bad creator and Better Call Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan way back in 2014 during that summer’s Television Critics Association press tour. He said it before the public had seen as much of a second of the then-much-anticipated prequel to his Emmy-winning drama about a high school chemistry teacher (Bryan Cranston’s Walter White) who creates the finest methamphetamine Albuquerque, New Mexico, has ever seen. Said in his trademark folksy “Aw shucks, y’all” Virginia twang, Gilligan’s comment was meant to be read as sarcasm. It was a rebuttal against a misogynistic subset of Breaking Bad fans who had decided that the true villain of that marvelous show ...

HHW Gaming Preview: We Spent 4 Hours In Santo Ileso & It Left Us Optimistic About ‘Saints Row’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Volition Games / Saints Row Hip-Hop Wired’s resident gamer Bernard “Beanz” Smalls had the opportunity to get hands-on with Volition Games’ Saints Row reboot and left feeling optimistic. Volition pulled out all the stops for us, turning the Thunderbird Hotel in Las Vegas into a carbon copy location from Santo Ileso, the fictional midwestern city from Saints Row. It also helped the hotel lives in the not-so-glitzy part of the city of the sin, so the game studio didn’t have to do much to recreate the feel of the video game’s fictional locale. Related Stories Moving on, the real reason we hit Las Vegas was to get hands-on with the highly anticipated game finally, and I had four hours to get some impressions on Saints Row, and I left honestly wanting to play m...
