Beavis and Butt-Head’s New Season Will Feature Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, Post Malone, and BTS
The new season of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head—set to return August 4 to Paramount+—will feature music videos from Tyler the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, Post Malone, Camila Cabello, Cale Dodds, Cnco, and BTS. While the duo traditionally roasts music videos (and now TikTok and YouTube videos, as well), the second episode of the new season features Beavis letting it slip that he’s a member of the BTS Army who can name specific favorite members of the group. Beavis and Butt-Head originally ran on MTV from 1993-1997. The show was revived for one season in 2011, and was slated to arrive on Comedy Central in 2020 (before shifting to Paramount+). The new feature film, Beavis & Butt-head Do the Universe, premiered on Paramount+ in June. Content This content can also be viewed on the si...
Prince Estate Legal Battle Over Assets Finally Resolved After 6 Years
On Friday, a Minnesota judge signed off on a deal that finalizes how the late Prince’s estate and assets would be distributed, Billboard reports. The agreement comes more than six years after Prince died without leaving a will. Prince’s assets—including music rights—will be split between his heirs, their advisors, and the management company Primary Wave. When Prince died, his six half-siblings were named legal heirs. Three of them sold shares to Primary Wave, while three others retained their stakes and partnered with advisors L. Londell McMillan and Charles Spicer. “Prince was an iconic superstar and this transfer out of the court’s jurisdiction puts in place professional, skilled management,” Primary Wave said in a statement to Billboard. “When we announced our acquisition of the additio...

‘Batgirl’ Film Canceled By Head Honchos At Warner Bros. For Being Weak Sauce?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Albert L. Ortega / Getty Looks like the DCEU is taking yet another step backwards thanks to Warner Bros. as the highly-anticipated Batgirl film starring In The Heights actress Leslie Grace will not be released…at all. According to Variety the $90 million project which was slated to drop in theaters and/or HBO Max has been shelved as insiders say it was an “irredeemable” picture. What that means could be anybody’s guess but the move comes just a month and change after a test screening of the film garnered much praise and positivity from critics who got a sneak peak at the project. Studio insiders insist the decision to axe “Batgirl” was not driven by the quality of the film or the commitment of the filmmakers, but by the desire for the studio’s slate of DC...

We Attended a Secret Party In the Forest at Tomorrowland 2022—Here’s What It Looked Like
In the throes of the crypto winter, FTX found warmth in the effervescent confines of Tomorrowland. Cryptocurrency and electronic dance music have been inextricably linked thanks to the widespread adoption of digital collectibles by DJs. In fact, the 2021 IMS Business Report found that 76% of all music NFTs were issued by electronic music artists. The nexus of all this activity is music festivals, where NFT and crypto developers can escape the dangerous, theft-laden interwebs to demonstrate the utilities of their projects in a controlled environment. So FTX, a popular cryptocurrency exchange which averages roughly $10 billion of daily trading volume, touched down at the largest EDM festival in the world. The company organized a hidden stage called The Hill during each day of the 2022 e...

Warner Records CEO Mo Ostin Remembered by Producer Russ Titelman: ‘He Had No Ego’
Grammy-winning producer Russ Titelman first met Mo Ostin, the legendary executive who ran Reprise and then Warner Records from 1960 to 1994, in the early ’60s when Titelman was still a teenager and freshly signed to Screen Gems-Columbia Music as a songwriter. Eventually, Ostin, who died July 31 at 95, and then head of A&R Lenny Waronker convinced Titelman to come to Warner Records, where he had an extraordinary run as an in-house producer for 25 years, working with such artists as Randy Newman, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Steve Winwood, Chaka Khan and so many more. Titelman, whose Grammy wins include record of the year for Winwood’s “Higher Love” (1986) and again for Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven,” as well as album of the year for Clapton’s “Unplugged” (1992), talked with Bill...
Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Controversies, From Kelis Sample to Lyric Changes
Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Renaissance release was full of excitement and dancefloor-ready hits, but did not come without its share of drama. Throughout her seventh album’s rollout, Bey has navigated an unexpected leak, frustrations over interpolations, shade about the number of songwriters credited on the tracks due to those interpolations and post-release lyric changes due to the use of offensive language in the song “Heated.” And while there were a few bumps in the journey, it’s still smooth sailing for Queen Bey, as Renaissance is heading for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with one of the biggest weeks of the year. If it opens atop the chart, it will be the first album released by a woman in 2022 to hit No. 1. All six of her solo studio albums also deb...
