Beyoncé Talks Sacrifices and Struggles with ‘Harper’s Bazaar’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: CAMPBELL ADDY / Harper’s Bazaar Beyoncé is arguably one of the top entertainers in the world, but during her recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the mother of three revealed she didn’t always feel that way. After more than two decades in the spotlight, Beyoncé has become much more than a pop icon, but Queen Bey shed light on the obstacles she faced to get to her current level of success before adding that she feels she’s only “scratched the surface.” “My teenage years were about the grind,” she recalled during the interview, citing a scripture passage — “Faith without work is dead” — that motivated her. “Vision and intention weren’t enough; I had to put in the work, I committed to always being a student and always being open to growth. My energy went i...
The 40 Greatest Music Video Artists
Music videos are the perfect bastard child of art and commerce, even more than pop music itself. A promotional visual accompaniment to a popular song doesn’t need a coherent narrative (although on rare occasions, they do). It just needs to suit the song, sell the record, and possibly make the artist look cool. But since the launch of MTV 40 years ago this week, a select few recording artists have helped raise music videos to an art form — sometimes by accident, and sometimes by carefully curating the work of brilliant directors like Mark Romanek, Hype Williams, and Spike Jonze. Here are 40 artists from the last four decades that helped video kill the radio star. 40. Lil Kim [embedded content] Although earlier female MCs like Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah used music videos to help launch th...

Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s New Orleans Home Set On Fire According To Authorities
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty Are Jay-Z and Beyoncé victims of arson? According to TMZ authorities suspect that the Carters’ home in New Orleans was purposely set ablaze a la 50 Cent’s baby mama’s house this past Wednesday night (July 21). Authorities suspect that someone lit the fuse that sparked the fire to the couple’s Spanish baroque mansion in the Garden District which led to 22 firefighters taking two hours to put out the 1-alarm blaze.

The 20 Best Rock Songs by Pop Stars
Olivia Rodrigo may be a teenage pop star who works for Disney and first scaled the Hot 100 with a piano-driven ballad, but her second No. 1 of 2021, “Good 4 U,” is a surprisingly feisty pop-punk song. And Sour’s even harder-rocking opener “Brutal” is currently ascending Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart. Rock music has been deeply intertwined with American pop ever since early rockers like Little Richard and Bill Haley started scaling the charts. But since the ‘80s, Top 40 radio has largely favored sleeker tracks with synthesizers, drum machines, and influences from genres like dance music, R&B, and hip-hop, with only occasional bursts of electric guitar and live drums. Plenty of rockers have become pop stars, from Pat Benatar to Bruce Springsteen, but there are also pop stars who ...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty When it comes to Beyoncé, there are tons of speculations and wild theories about the enigmatic superstar. One, in particular, has to do with her husband, JAY-Z’s tendency to rub her leg, which led to her mama, Tina Knowles-Lawson, clarifying the situation. The Carters stepped out and showed up to Brooklyn to watch the Nets minus James Harden put a game 1 beatdown on the Milwaukee Bucks. While doing their courtside routine, JAY-Z could be seen affectionately caressing his beautiful wife’s leg while watching Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the Nets squad get buckets. Some fans began to speculate that Hov rubs on Yonce’s leg to help her get through a tough time because she allegedly has anxiety. Beyonce’s mama, Tina Knowles-...
