This Is Not A Drill: ‘Tiger King’ Season 2 Is Coming To Netflix

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Netflix / Netflix If you love drama, wild animals and white people train wrecks, you have a nice surprise coming to you by year’s end. Netflix is giving us a second season of its hick…I mean, hit docuseries Tiger King. [embedded content] That’s right, good people, get ready for the return of the commander-in-blonde-mullets, Joe Exotic, his rival Carol Baskin and all of those wild creatures we love to watch growl and claw at each other. Also, there will be tigers there. But wait—will Joe Exotic be there this season? If nothing else, it will be interesting to see how (or if) the new season incorporates its star this time around, seeing as Exotic, born Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is still sitting in federal prison after being convicted of two counts related to...

BADVOID and ZABO’s New Single “Asylum” is Midtempo Madness [Premiere]

BADVOID and ZABO have joined forces for a blistering midtempo anthem called “Asylum.” The track begins with eerie arpeggios, which slither into focus in haunting fashion right off the bat. The beguiling nature of the track takes a dark turn at the drop, however, when BADVOID and ZABO uncork a menacing midtempo beat. The drop is downright ruthless, marrying the metallic wobbles of Deathpact with the ferocious bass of REZZ. The duo flex their versatility on the second drop, switching things up with a new bass pattern and beautiful syncopation of the drum fills. It’s a refreshing take that proves both artists’ dedication to their craft. All said and done, BADVOID and ZABO have dropped a memorable single that tightropes the wire between sinister and spellbinding. Previo...

New Moon-Shaped Vegas Resort Will Have an Outer Space-Themed Nightclub

Steve Aoki Shares Story About Remix for Kanye West, Drake, Eminem, and Lil Wayne That Never Dropped

Steve Aoki is one of the most accomplished DJs on the planet, but even those most veteran artists sometimes fail to rise to the occasion. In a recent interview with Emmy Award-winning journalist Graham Bensinger, Aoki shared a story about a remix for Kanye West that will never see the light of day. He recalls listening to a freestyle from West over the phone and later being sent stems to remix a song. However, Aoki was stunned when he realized the song included verses from the likes of West, Drake, Eminem, and Lil Wayne.  As many may have deduced, this was likely a remix of the mega-collaboration “Forever.” Unfortunately, it never saw the light of day. Aoki himself deemed the remix not good enough, but having the opportunity to remix it today would be a completely dif...

J. Cole and Joyner Lucas Mourn Lost Love on Collaborative Single “Your Heart”

J. Cole and Joyner Lucas linked up for a new single titled “Your Heart,” which made its debut alongside an official music video today. Produced by Palaze, LC, and Hagan, the track hears Lucas recall his playboy ways in a past relationship, while simultaneously struggling to admit to his own wrongdoings. That is until J. Cole enters with his feature to dose Lucas with some hard advice. “You never thought you’d see the day that she was gone?” raps Cole. “But you was wrong.” “Your Heart” marks the second release fans received from Cole this week. On September 22, the rapper built upon Drake’s “Pipe Down” from Certified Lover Boy, dropping his own bars over its original beat. His first new music since The Off-Season dropped in May, Cole called the reworked song “Heaven’s EP.” In othe...

COREY TAYLOR On His COVID-19 Battle: It Was ‘The Sickest I’ve Ever Been In My Life’

Corey Taylor said that his breakthrough case of COVID-19 produced symptoms that made him “the sickest” he had ever been in his life, and he credited the vaccine for keeping him out of the hospital. The 47-year-old SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR singer, who is fully vaccinated, was forced to call off his appearance at a Michigan pop culture convention last month after testing positive for the coronavirus. Taylor discussed his COVID-19 battle during an appearance this past Tuesday (September 21) on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”. Asked for an update on his health, he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I feel fine. I’ve been saying this since day one: thank God for vaxxes. Because it not only shortened it incredibly, but my recovery was ...

K.K. DOWNING Says ROB HALFORD Wanted To Form New Three-Guitar Metal Band With Him A Decade Ago

Former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing, who officially left the group in 2011, said that there was talk, around a decade ago, of him continuing to collaborate with some of his former bandmates on other projects. “Not many people know that, but [PRIEST singer] Rob [Halford] and his manager sent me a letter after I walked out asking me to join a band with Rob,” Downing said during an appearance this past Tuesday (September 21) on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk” (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “Rob was gonna come back to England and he wanted to come and see me about forming a band with three guitar players — with me, Roy Z and Jeff Loomis [ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE] — with a very good drummer and bass player. But I ignored the letter; I di...

GENE SIMMONS Sells Beverly Hills Mansion For $16 Million

According to TMZ, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has sold Los Angeles mansion for $16 million. Last fall, Simmons put the Beverly Hills house on the market for $22 million. He later relisted it for $25 million after it never sold and he reportedly invested a lot of money in making improvements. Gene bought the property back in October 1986 for $1,337,500. This past May, Simmons bought a new home just outside Las Vegas, Nevada for $8.2 million. Simmons has been very vocal about his desire to leave California for some time due to wanting a quieter lifestyle and to get away from being listed on celebrity maps or having to deal with Beverly Hills tour buses. He also said that part of the reason he and his wife listed the two-acre property in Benedict Canyon because the home had become too ...

Behind the HYPE: How ‘NBA 2K’ Solidified Itself as a Mainstay in Basketball Culture

NBA 2K has become an influence and integral part of basketball culture — in addition to being inspired by the sport — and has come to almost perfectly reflect the current blend of the digital and physical worlds of gaming in 2021. 2K is popular among enthusiasts and gamers in general, as well as the players who are featured in the game themselves. Much like the game of basketball, the title has become a massive international hit, which has led to global basketball stars like reigning NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo and former Rookie of the Year Luka Doncic, to grace the game’s covers with much fanfare. NBA 2K‘s wide appeal and mainstream acceptance can be contributed to its fitting emulation of basketball culture in the game beyond basketball, like having in-game sneaker releases and so...

First Spin: The Week’s Best New Dance Tracks From Jamie Jones, UZ, Rüfüs Du Sol & More

Jamie Jones, “Handy Work”  Ahead of his Stateside jaunt in Boston and New York this weekend, Jamie Jones is dropping new heat in the form of his Handy Work EP. It’s been a minute (okay, a year) since the Hot Creations head last appeared on the label, but good things come to those who wait, right? Right. “Handy Work” is tech house made for big rooms, with air-shredding synths and a low-end so low it shakes the Earth. A sample nod to Junior Vasquez’s 1994 track “Get Your Hands Off My Man” gives it an extra dose of drama. Jones shares that “Handy Work” came together quickly after he’d already spent an entire studio session working on another song. “I literally made the first version in about an hour, and when I played it out I knew I had something, the crowd reaction was killer,” he says...
