Jack Harlow Co-Hosts ‘Tonight Show,’Talks Freestyling in Car With His Mom, Sinks Michael Myers Head in Game
Jack Harlow is as smooth as a fresh paint job. The “Churchill Downs” rapper looked totally chill co-hosting The Tonight Show on Thursday night (Oct. 6), helping host Jimmy Fallon with some bits, playing a hoops-related game and co-interviewing NBA legend Dwayne Wade during his episode-long visit. Harlow did some couch time too, chilling with Fallon to talk about his new album, Come Home the Kids Miss You and thanking Jimmy for being “early” to get his vibe and having him on The Tonight Show, as well as for appearing in the video for “First Class.” In fact, Jack noted that he tried to perform Fergie’s “Fergalicious” in 5th grade at a talent show — he sampled Fergie’s “Glamorous” on “Class” — “and you know the lyrics are suggestive, I guess,” he said, recalling that he was cut off mid-way th...
Kanye West Slams ‘Liberal Nazis,’ Claims Life Was Threatened Over MAGA Hat and Says ‘White Lives Matter’ Shirt Was Just ‘Funny’ To Him
Kanye West quadrupled down on his controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt during an appearance on Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, on Thursday night (Oct. 6), while also roasting the “demonic” promotion of obesity by the media (via his “good Friend” Lizzo) the he said was part of a plot intended to hasten the “genocide of the Black race.” West, who now goes by Ye, saved some of his harshest comments for ex-wife Kim Kardashian, whom he slammed for posting with her rear out for a recent issue of Interview magazine. “Kim is a Christian, but she has people who want her to go to Interview magazine and put her ass out while she’s a 40-something-year-old multi-billionaire with four black children and this is how fashion, how they want to present her,”...
Ozuna Unveils ‘Ozutochi’ Album: Every Collaboration Ranked (Staff Picks)
Ozuna returns with his fifth studio album, Ozutochi, released Friday (Oct. 7) via Aura Music and Sony Music Entertainment. The 18-track set finds an experimental Ozuna dipping his toes in dembow (“Perreo y Dembow”), merengue and techno (“Un Lio”), Brazilian funk (“Cielos Rosado”), EDM (“La Suzi”), and pop-rock (“La Copa”), without losing touch with his signature reggaetón romantico, as heard in “Favorita,” “Vida,” and “Mañana.” Notably, the urban act collaborates with a wave of reggaetón veterans and newcomers, including Chencho Corleone, Arcangel, Feid, and El Cherry, to name a few. But beyond its infectious collabs and innovative tracks, Ozutochi pays homage to Ozuna’s Puerto Rican and Dominican roots, where he also teams up with Boricuan and Dominican producers to deliver an...
Lancey Foux Wants You to Play His New Single “All Night Long”
North London rapper Lancey Foux has just released his latest single “All Night Long,” which is the latest roll-out for his upcoming album Life In Hell which is dropping later this month. After remaining relatively low-key since his 2021-released project LIVE.EVIL, Foux is now dropping music in abundance after his last single “Lancey or Lancey” dropped less than a fortnight ago. Produced by BNYX, “All Night Long” is a trippy, trap-leaning effort with Auto-Tuned melodies throughout. And, much like the track’s subject matter, it’s most definitely worth the reloads “All Night Long.” The record hasn’t come with any accompanying visuals as of yet, but the musical value of the song emphasizes Foux’s lust for escapism with quick-fire lyricism and a deep dive into the...
John Waters to Direct Liarmouth, His First Film in 18 Years
For the first time in 18 years, the Pope of Trash is back to bless us with another film. As Deadline reports, John Waters will write and direct an adaptation of his own 2022 novel Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance for Village Roadshow Pictures. Waters’ last turn behind the camera was directing Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, and Chris Isaak in 2004’s A Dirty Shame, which paired high-camp sensibilities with a big studio budget in an experiment that, it seemed at the time, would never be repeated. Now, the 76-year-old provocateur is back. “Liarmouth is the craziest thing I’ve written in a while, so maybe it’s fitting that my novel was shocking enough to jumpstart the engine of my film career,” Waters said. “Thrilled to be back in the movie business, hopefully to spread demented joy to...
The Cure Debut New Music at European Tour Kick-Off: Video + Setlist
The Cure kicked off their European tour with a concert in Latvia on Thursday night. The 25-song setlist included two new songs called “Alone” and “Endsong,” which are presumably taken from their long-awaited new album Songs of a Lost World. “Alone,” a seven-minute “Plainsong”-adjacent number, opened the show in typical Cure fashion, with Robert Smith walking on stage without a guitar to take in the crowd during an extended instrumental intro. “This is the end of every song that we sing,” he eventually croons. “Endsong,” meanwhile, naturally closed out the band’s main set (two encores followed). The second new offering proved equally cinematic, stretching out for 10 minutes with a militaristic drum riff over melancholy synths. From the looks of these tracks, Smith’s “relentlessly doom and g...
