Loopy Farrell & Benny The Butcher “Back Door,” Bryson Tiller ft. Justin Bieber & Poo Bear “Lonely Christmas” & More | Daily Visuals 11.23.21
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez/2021 BET Hip Hop Awards / Getty We were not playing when we say Benny The Butcher will get that bag no matter where it’s to be found and if that means guest appearances with rappers you’re not familiar with, then that bag will be secured. Once again proving our point, the lyrical beast out of Buffalo links up with Loopy Farrel for the visuals to “Back Door” where the two post up on the block dripping in ice and counting stacks knowing that anyone who tries them will end up outlined in chalk. Respect. Bryson Tiller meanwhile gets creative with it and for his clip to the Justin Bieber and Poo Bear assisted “Lonely Christmas” gets the Gumby treatment and uses clay animation to entertain the eye while getting smooth for the ears. Check out the re...
HBO Unveils Thrilling First Trailer for Euphoria Season 2: Watch
We hope you still have some glitter eyeshadow laying around, because Euphoria is back. After what feels like eons in the making, HBO has finally unveiled the first trailer for Season 2 of its wildly popular teen drama, which is set to premiere on January 9th. The trailer begins with Rue (Zendaya) doing a flawless lip-sync performance of “Call Me Irresponsible,” the 1962 jazz standard written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn. But this is Euphoria, after all, so it’s not long before the classic song crashes into a modern beat drop and we find ourselves in the middle of smoke-filled house parties and wild nights on the run from imminent danger. Directed by creator Sam Levinson, cast members returning for Euphoria Season 2 will include Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Bar...
Leon Bridges, Sylvan Esso, Yola, Fleet Foxes and More Artists React to 2022 Grammy Nominations: Exclusive

Artists like Leon Bridges — who is up for Best Traditional R&B Performance with Robert Glasper, as well as for Best R&B Album — shared their exclusive reactions with Consequence by email. “It’s humbling to be nominated for two Grammy Awards, amongst all my peers in the music industry,” Bridges says. “Gold Diggers Sound was a labor of love, something healing that followed a difficult time in my life and was born out of nighttime R&B jam sessions with musicians and a producer I deeply respect and am inspired by.

Every Paul Thomas Anderson Movie, Ranked from Worst to Best
This article originally ran in 2014 and has been updated. Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. This time, we sort through the best and worst of the man who gave us a sobbing Philip Seymour Hoffman. In many ways, Paul Thomas Anderson is our 21st century Stanley Kubrick. You always get the sense that every single shot in his films have been carefully constructed. From the portrait of a man sitting down in an empty warehouse to a long shot following our lead through a porn party, the attention to detail is so great all we can do is just sit back and admire the man’s vision. For that reason alone, it wasn’t easy ranking Anderson’s filmograph...
Will Smith Developed “Psychosomatic Reaction” to Too Much Sex, Would “Vomit” After Orgasm
Come again? Sounding simultaneously like a man who has had too much and too little therapy, Will Smith said that as a young star, he engaged in so much sex that he “developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm,” that would “make me gag and sometimes even vomit.” The revelation comes from his new memoir Will, which hit store shelves earlier this month. Via BuzzFeed News, he began his downward spiral after coming home from a two-week tour to find that his girlfriend, Melanie, had cheated. “I desperately need relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse,” he wrote.

DEEP PURPLE’s IAN GILLAN Believes The Pandemic Is ‘Finished Now’: ‘I Think It Will Just Fade Away This Winter’
In a new interview with Finland’s Chaoszine, DEEP PURPLE singer Ian Gillan was asked if he and his bandmates will take part in any meet-and-greets with fans on their upcoming world tour. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I’ve got a different view on that. The rest of the guys do these VIP meet-and-greets. I’m not really in favor of them myself. I like meeting the ordinary fans, not the wealthy ones. It’s a commercial procedure, that element. “We’ve got to learn to live with this thing,” he continued, referring to the pandemic. “I think everyone’s heard that said a hundred times. If we didn’t meet people because we think they might have a cold or might have the flu or might have some political views that we don&#...
GRAMMY Boss Defends MARILYN MANSON Nomination: ‘We Won’t Look Back At People’s History’
The Recording Academy CEO has defended the organization’s Grammy nomination of Marilyn Manson, the shock rocker who has been accused of sexual abuse or misconduct by multiple women. Manson is up for “Album Of The Year” at the 2022 Grammy Awards for his role as both a featured artist and songwriter on Kanye West‘s latest album, “Donda”. In a new interview with The Wrap, Harvey Mason Jr. said The Recording Academy “won’t restrict the people who can submit their material for consideration. We won’t look back at people’s history, we won’t look at their criminal record, we won’t look at anything other than the legality within our rules of, is this recording for this work eligible based on date and other criteria.

Lordiversity – LORDI
RATING: 8/10 You will probably need to set a whole day aside to listen to the new LORDI album. 78 songs deep and four hours and 44 minutes long — well, let’s just say that this is one for the diehard fans. The premise is all important, of course: LORDI‘s last album, 2020’s “Killection”, purported to be a time-travelling compilation, recounting what the Finnish band would have sounded like at various points along the rock history road. Arguably the finest example yet of what happens when a prolific songwriter deals with the consequences of a global pandemic, “Lordiversity” fleshes out the compilation, delivering seven full albums, each one taken from one supposed era in this imagined LORDI‘s illustrious past. It’s an audacious idea, and ...

Grammy Nominations in the Post-Committee Era: Who Benefited & Who Didn’t? (Analysis)
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga and ABBA might want to thank the Recording Academy for getting rid of its nominations review committees. Wizkid might feel differently. This year, for the first time in 27 years, the final nominations in the Grammys’ Big Four categories were determined by the Academy’s 11,000 voting members without being second-guessed by a review committee.
