Tyler, The Creator Reveals He Originally Wrote Frank Ocean’s “She” Feature for Snoop Dogg
Tyler, The Creator has shared that he initially wrote Frank Ocean’s feature on his hit single “She” for Snoop Dogg. The rapper spoke out during a live-streamed performance at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, announcing the news to the crowd. “I originally made this beat for Snoop Dogg but I had no way to get it to him, so me and my big homie did this song, and it goes like this,” Tyler said before launching into rapping the track, which comes off of his 2011 debut studio LP Goblin. Ocean appeared on “She” instead, both rapping the intro verse and singing the hook. “The blinds wide open so he can see you in the dark when you’re sleepin’,” Ocean sings. “Think about it, fresh out the shower.” Tyler was a founding member of the rap collective Odd Future, formed in 2007. Ocean joined a few y...
Yikes! Machine Gun Kelly Unwisely Covers System of a Down’s “Aerials”: Watch
Either Machine Gun Kelly is trying desperately to alienate himself from metalheads, or is just trolling all of us. First, he insulted Slipknot, and now he’s butchered a cover of System of a Down’s “Aerials.” The rapper turned pop-punk singer was a guest on The Howard Stern Show this week. For some odd reason, MGK thought it would be a good idea for him and his band to perform the System of a Down track as part of his visit. It’s no easy task for any singer to match Serj Tankian’s soaring operatic vocals, let alone one who’s range is limited like MGK. While his backing band did an admirable job on the instrumentation of the Toxicity song, MGK’s singing was rough right from the first note, and sounded like one continuous vocal strain throughout the entire performance. Seriously, if you can v...
Jim Carrey “Probably” Retiring: “I Have Enough. I’ve Done Enough.”
Jim Carrey says he’s “probably” retiring. In an interview with Access Hollywood, the 60-year-old actor and comedian said he expects Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to be his last film. “Well, I’m retiring. Yeah, probably. I’m being fairly serious,” Carrey said. “It depends, if the angels bring some sort of script that’s written in gold ink that says to me that it’s going to be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I’m taking a break.” He added, “I really like my quiet life and I really love putting paint on canvas and I really love my spiritual life and I feel like — and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists – I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.” Related Video Carrey has stepped awa...

Christian Lee Hutson Shares Origins of New Album Quitters: Exclusive
Origins is a recurring new music feature giving artists the chance to break down the inspirations for their latest release. Today, Christian Lee Hutson opens up about his new album, Quitters. Over the past several years, Los Angeles singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson has found himself in some pretty heady company, collaborating with his best friend Phoebe Bridgers on several projects including the indie darling’s collaborative album with Conor Oberst. Hutson’s sophomore album Quitters, out today, reunites him with both artists, who served as producers on the project. With the encouragement of Bridgers and Oberst, Quitters was made directly to tape, rather than the digital recording method used for Hutson’s debut studio album, Beginners, also produced by Bridgers. Another...
Baby Stone Gorillas Keep Going
Is it sacrilegious to smoke weed inside a decommissioned church? This seems to be the central question for Baby Stone Gorillas on the set of their “Keep Goin” music video. Dress shirts for the video, the ticking clock on the church rental, our interview — these are afterthoughts for the burgeoning Los Angeles rap group as they exhale the only clouds under the blue sky and blinding sun above the church steps in Glassell Park. When they’ve procured their forgotten dress shirts and ashed their blunts, EKillaOffDaBlocck (21), 5Much (19), P4K (20), and Top5ivee (22) saunter past dark wooden pews and up to the carpeted burgundy altar in the humble, aged, and mercifully cool building. They stand behind four soundless microphones and in front of a lone cameraman, preaching the gospel of perseveran...
