With Jack White set to release his newest album Fear of the Dawn this Friday, he sat down with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to discuss the album and what it was like working with JAY-Z. The Third Man Records founder first confirmed the initial rumor that he and Hov did work on something, and opened up about the experience. “That’s true.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Amy Sussman / Getty You were not alone if you stopped by Vevo pages recently to watch some music videos and experienced some weirdness. Vevo has acknowledged The Weeknd, Drake, Lil Nas X, Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Ariana Grande, and other artists’ pages were the victim of an “attack” by someone who goes by the Twitter handle @lospelaosbro. First reported by The Verge, people who visited those pages Wednesday (Apr.6) were greeted by weird clips featuring rapper Lil Tjay and a man named Paco Sanz, who was sent to prison for being a scammer after grifting donations claiming he had cancer. Vevo confirmed the intrusions to Engadget, telling the website, “some videos were directly uploaded to a small number of Vevo artist channels earli...
Bad Gyal Billionaire: Rihanna Makes Debut on The ‘Forbes’ List
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Rihanna continues to reach new plateaus of success, as it has been confirmed that she’s the newest addition to Forbes’ list of the world’s billionaires. The singer and entrepreneur made the annual tally of billionaires back in August 2021 with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, placing her at 1,729 out of 2,668 on the list. The report cites that the 34-year old’s inclusion on the list is due to her highly successful stake in the Fenty Beauty company that she co-owns with LVMH, the luxury brand conglomerate. Fenty Beauty raked in $550 million in revenue in 2020. Another component is her 30 percent stake in the Savage x Fenty lingerie line, which raised approximately $115 million in series B funding leading to a $1 billion...
People Are Getting The Chris Rock Slap Tattooed On Them
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Adam Berry / Getty Chris Rock getting pimp slapped by Will Smith is already etched in the memories of everyone who witnessed the historic television event, but some people are taking things further and getting the moment inked on their person because, well, we don’t know. Page Six is reporting that tattoo artists have begun inking the slap heard ’round the world on their customers who want to live in that moment forever. While you’d expect one or maybe two of the seven billion people living on this earth to the slap tatted on their person, it seems to have become a growing trend these days and tattoo artists can’t believe it.

Dolly Parton Says Climate Change Is “Like Being Ugly to Your Mama”
Dolly Parton, the reigning queen of Tennessee and charitable efforts, recently stopped by National Geographic to discuss two of her favorite things about her home state: its music and its nature. Just in time for Earth Day, the country legend spoke with National Geographic Travel’s Amy Alipio about her thoughts on climate change, the music of the Smoky Mountains, and how the state’s landscape played into her tune “My Tennesee Mountain Home” — which was just unanimously voted as Tennessee’s new state song. “We should pay more attention to how we’re treating our mountains, how we’re treating our world, how we’re just treating everything,” Parton said. “We’re just mistreating Mother Nature. That’s, like, being ugly to your mama, you know? That’s like being disrespectful, you know? Seriously. ...
Ambulance Review: Some Deranged Grandeur, Courtesy of Michael Bay
The Pitch: In his 2019 Netflix film 6 Underground, Michael Bay stages an opening car chase where his heroes smash through the streets of Italy, goring bad guys and yelling nonsense at each other. “I’m conducting surgery!” one character screams while, essentially, just tending to a wound. But maybe that moment stuck in Bay’s head. Maybe he regretted not making that set-piece more surgical, to the point where he built an entire movie called Ambulance around the premise: What if you were performing life-saving surgery during a car chase? Technically, Bay did not come up with this premise. Ambulance is a remake of a 2005 Dutch film, and Bay is not a credited screenwriter. But his penchant for breaking tension with over-explained jokes, or breaking jokes with melodramatic bombast, transcend any...
The xx’s Oliver Sim Frees Himself with Solo Single “Fruit”: Stream
Last month, Oliver Sim finally followed the path of his bandmates in The xx and put out his first solo single, “Romance with a Memory.” Today, the musician has shared another song called “Fruit,” which is also produced by Jamie xx, and an accompanying music video. “Fruit” is a sweeping number that lives somewhere between a ballad and a banger, recalling saccharine love songs of the ’80s. But “Fruit” isn’t an ode to a lover; instead, it acts as Sim’s proclamation of self-acceptance, rejoicing in queer identity. Those familiar with Jamie xx’s solo material will recognize his kaleidoscopic, clubby touch, though Sim’s deep vocals ensure the track is all his own. The music video for “Fruit” was directed by French filmmaker Yann Gonzalez, and it depicts Sim as a pop star yearning to embrac...
Ana de Armas’ Marilyn Monroe Movie Becomes First Netflix Original Rated NC-17 for Sexual Content
Blonde, the upcoming Netflix movie starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, has been given an NC-17 rating for “some sexual content” by the Motion Picture Association. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, while the streamer has hosted NC-17 films such as Blue Is the Warmest Color, this is seemingly the first time that label has been affixed to a Netflix original. Blonde is a fictional tale based on Joyce Carol Oates’ 700-page magnum opus, which came out in 2000 and which the New Yorker called “the definitive study of American celebrity.” The film is soundtracked by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, and according to director Andrew Dominik, an NC-17 rating was always part of the plan. “It’s a demanding movie,” he told Screen Daily last February. “If t...
