How Rodeos And Farmers Markets Helped Gayle Find Her Voice
Her Instagram bio declares her an “emo alphabet girl,” but Gayle grew up making country music. Or at least, that’s where she started. At 17 years old, the Nashville-based artist still has many years of growing up ahead of her. But you wouldn’t necessarily know it from the cheekily titled “ABCDEFU,” her power chord-aided single that’s currently sitting at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The electric guitars that mark “ABCDEFU” help accentuate the kiss-off the chorus revels in — hint: focus on the final two letters in the title — and the raw emotion in the song likely helped its rise up the chart. That was bound to happen for Gayle, who kicked off her career in music at age 10 growing up in Dallas before relocating to Nashville and ...
Fade: Kanye West Scrubs Instagram Of All Posts About Kim Kardashian & Their Kids
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marc Piasecki / Getty The saga between between Kanye West and his estranged wife continues. He has scrubbed Instagram after making his private conversations on Kim Kardashian public on social media. As per Page Six the Chicago, Illinois native has apparently given more thought to his recent tactics. It seems he has purposely deleted all posts regarding his very tense relationship with his soon to be his ex-wife from his Instagram account. On Sunday, February 6 the “All Of The Lights” rapper posted a screenshot of a text conversation looking to get in contact with Kim. “Send me Kim’s number” the exchange read. His caption alleged that she thought he wanted bodily harm done to her. “Yesterday Kim accused me of putting a hit out on her,” West wrote. “So...
Bounce: Twitter Remembers J Dilla On What Would Have Been His 48th BIrthday
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Gregory Bojorquez / Getty J Dilla left such an ineffaceable mark on Hip-Hop music and beyond, displaying production mastery that has been imitated widely but never duplicated. The late, great Detroit beatsmith and rapper would have been 48 today, and fans on Twitter are gathering to celebrate his life and legacy. Born James Dewitt Yancey on February 7, 1974, the tale of how the producer once known as Jay Dee morphed into J Dilla began on the east side of the Motor City as the eldest of four children. His parents, singer Maureen “MaDukes” Yancey-Smith and bassist Beverly Dewitt Yancey, passed on their love of music to their children but young James was bitten early by the Hip-Hop bug and the “pause tape” art of sampling classic records. As the story ...
Twitter Reacts To Viral Sip & Paint Video
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: South_agency / Getty A new viral video has spread across social media (and btw, my use of the words “viral” and “spread” will take on new meanings as you continue to read) and folks on Twitter are having a field day with it. What’s going on in the video reportedly took place during a sip and paint event. Now, for those of you who don’t know what a sip and paint event is, it’s one where patrons drink wine while a professional artist leads them in painting their own art pieces. Some of you might be thinking to yourselves: “Bro, we ain’t stupid and you don’t need to explain to us what a sip and paint event is—it’s pretty much in the title.” Well, yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you? However, the people depicted in the video may not have understood the a...
2 Chainz “Neighbors Know My Name,” Nardo Wick ft. Future & Lil Baby “Me Or Sum” & More | Daily Visuals 2.7.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty 2 Chainz has quite the entrepreneur spirit in this rap game, but it seems like the man has an affinity for old school informercials and might be venturing into that side of the game at some point in the future. In his latest visuals to “Neighbors Know My Name,” 2 Chainz trains a group of women on how to pose in front of the camera and bust some moves to sell his VHS tapes on how to cut a rug with the best of them. Chainz doesn’t actually dance but that’s neither here nor there. Nardo Wick meanwhile gets his playalistic on and in his clip to “Me or Sum” calls on Future and Lil Baby to join him at a private affair where the liquor flows like water and the women are as thick as molasses. Check out the rest of today’s drops and some join...
Neil Young to Spotify Employees: ‘Get Out of That Place Before It Eats up Your Soul’
Neil Young isn’t letting go of his anti-Spotify sentiments just yet. In a post shared on his Neil Young Archives website, the rocker continued to rip Spotify and its CEO, Daniel Ek. He also encouraged Spotify employees to leave the streaming giant. “To the workers at SPOTIFY, I say Daniel Ek is your big problem – not Joe Rogan. Ek pulls the strings. Get out of that place before it eats up your soul,” Young wrote. “The only goals stated by EK are about numbers – not art, not creativity.” On top of taking yet another swipe at Spotify, Young also had a few choice words for big banks as well. In particular, in Young’s crosshairs, are Chase, Citi, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. “To the baby boomers, I say 70 percent of the country’s financial assets are in your hands compared with just about ...

Andy Shauf Shares New Songs “Satan” and “Jacob Rose”: Stream
Andy Shauf is continuing his hot streak today with two new songs, “Satan” and “Jacob Rose.” As per usual for the Toronto singer-songwriter, both songs are centered around his knack for poignant storytelling over pleasant melodies. While “Satan” is a subtly gorgeous acoustic number, its origins are much darker, inspired by Shauf’s upbringing in a strict evangelical household where he wasn’t allowed to participate in Halloween festivities. “The Christianity that I was brought up in said that believers went to heaven and non-believers went to hell,” Shauf said in a statement. “A sort of cartoon-like simplification of ancient texts. So with the lyrics of [“Satan”], I was trying to take this cartoon-like simplification of life (and death) and pair it with a cartoon-like version of this Christia...
Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff Hold Down the House in Cheaper by the Dozen Trailer: Watch
The Bakers still have strength in numbers in the trailer for the Cheaper by the Dozen reboot starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff. The film premieres March 18th on Disney+. The trailer opens with parents Zoey (Union) and Paul (Braff) waking up to a “code-red,” or missing the alarm to prepare their ten children for school. The chaotic morning ritual serves as the introduction for each member of the blended family as the parents narrate the familiar tale of two huge households becoming one small army. “We’re not a cult,” Paul assures in the voiceover, before Zoey jumps in to finish his sentence. “But we’re weird. We’re one-of-a-kind all the way.” Advertisement Related Video The trailer flaunts its modern twist on the 2003 comedy starring Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt with a ...
Alice Cooper Thinks “Rock ‘n’ Roll Should Be Anti-Political”
Alice Cooper opened up in a new interview about his rather strong distaste for mixing music and politics. “I don’t ever talk politics…I hate politics. I don’t think rock ‘n’ roll and politics belong in the same bed together, but a lot of people think it does — because we have a voice, and we should use our voice. But again, rock ‘n’ roll should be anti-political, I think,” the rock veteran told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. “When my parents started talking about politics, I would turn on The [Rolling] Stones as loud as I could. I don’t want to hear politics, and I still feel that way.” The “School’s Out” singer went on to refer to his live shows as “a vacation from CNN,” insisting, “I’m not preaching anything up there, and I’m not knocking anybody…That’s what was funny about it. If you’re in...
Razzie Nominations 2022: LeBron James, Diana, the Musical, and a Whole Bruce Willis Category
Stick out your tongue and blow a salute to the best of 2021’s worst. The Golden Raspberry Awards have announced their nominations for the 2022 Razzies, and the field is led by Diana the Musical, a pair of nods each for LeBron James and Amy Adams, and a whole category devoted to Bruce Willis’ execrable year. The stage is set in the Worst Picture category, which has honored (?) the Netflix version of the ill-fated Broadway show Diana, the Musical, as well as the confusing Mark Wahlberg vehicle Infinite, the BET Original horror story Karen, WarnerMedia’s branding exercise in search of a plot, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and Amy Adams’ Hitchcock retread The Woman in the Window. Adams herself was nominated for Worst Actress for The Woman in th...
