Lil Wayne Drops DJ Khaled-Hosted ‘No Ceilings 3′ Mixtape, Featuring Drake, Young Thug & More: Listen
“The mixtape game seemed to be a dying art and since I’m one of the pioneers of the craft, and it played such a big part in my career, I felt it was only right to resurrect it,” Wayne recently told Complex. “Also, it’s a lot of songs out here I wanted to kill my way!” DJ Khaled, who serves as “host” of the new mixtape, teased the project project on Instagram, noting that he worked with Wayne on the rapper’s 2005 mixtape, The Suffix. Weezy’s last mixtape arrived with 2017’s Dedication 6, his long-running mixtape series with DJ Drama. Earlier this year, the rapper earned his fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with his latest studio album, Funeral. The set followed his chart-topping Tha Carter V, which was released in 2018....
Van Morrison and Eric Clapton Tease New Anti-Lockdown Song ‘Stand and Deliver’
“I’m not telling people what to do or think, the government is doing a great job of that already,” the 75-year-old singer said in a statement announcing the protest anthems. “It’s about freedom of choice, I believe people should have the right to think for themselves.” Morrison has been campaigning for a re-opening of performance venues at full capacity, with the statement noting that he “feels strongly” that the ongoing lockdown presents an existential threat to the future of live music venues. The U.K. has allowed some socially distanced gigs since Aug. 1, but, as in the U.S., there have been few other shows since the pandemic caused a worldwide lockdown in March. Proceeds from “Stand and Deliver” will benefit Morrison’s Lockdown Financial Hardsh...
Selena Gomez Fans Slam ‘Saved by the Bell’ Reboot for Joking About Singer’s Kidney Transplant
“I know for a fact that Selena Gomez’s kidney donor was Justin Bieber’s mom. God, I wish that I had my phone so that I could prove it,” one character says. The other student replies, “Prove what? That you’re an idiot? It was Demi Lovato‘s kidney. They’re best friends, like you and I were.” In a later scene, the words “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?” are written near some lockers on the walls of the high school. Selenators definitely didn’t find the scenes funny. Many took to social media to call for the removal of Saved by the Bell from Peacock, and started the trend “RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ” on Twitter. “using what selena gomez went through for entertainment is blatantly insensitive and wrong,” one fan tweeted. “what she went ...
Even Scott Stapp’s Own Kids Make Fun of His ‘Over the Top’ Singing
Creed is the band everyone likes to make fun of, and it’s mostly because of Scott Stapp’s at times comically over-the-top singing style. Thankfully, the vocalist has a good sense of humor about it. In a new interview with The Ringer’s “10 Questions With Kyle Brandt,” Stapp admitted that the criticism actually made him a better singer. “It’s … funny to hear how other people hear you,” he said. “‘Cause I never heard myself with this over-the-top stuff, but I guess that’s the caricature voice of me and it’s funny, man. I’m all about picking on myself. It’s all good man.” “It’s actually helped me as a singer because I’ve heard that and I’ve intentionally enunciated differently on different words and syllables,” Stapp added. “So thank you world, for pointing out a consistent patt...
Ann Wilson Reveals a Heart Biopic Is in the Works
A Heart biopic is in the works. Vocalist Ann Wilson confirmed the news during a recent interview on SiriusXM’s Volume West show, revealing that. Sleater-Kinney/Portlandia star Carrie Brownstein is set to write and direct. “I saw the first draft of the script,” Ann told host. Lyndsey Parker. “It’s really cool. She’s working with the movie company Amazon and with the producer, Linda Obst, who did Sleepless in Seattle.” The film will document Ann and her sister Nancy Wilson’s childhood and rise to fame up to the ’90s. No casting decisions have been made, and Ann doesn’t have any names to throw in the hat. “I just don’t have any idea. I’m too close to it,” she confessed. “I’m just as excited about finding out as you are.” However, there is one name floating around that...
Stone Gossard Calls Eddie Vedder His ‘Muse’: ‘I Write Every Song For Eddie, Ultimately’
Stone Gossard and Eddie Vedder have been making music together for 30 years, and while some relationships may get stale after the three-decade mark, the Pearl Jam guitarist feels a different sentiment: his singer is his “muse.” During a recent interview with Kerrang!, Gossard opened up about that relationship. “I write every song for Eddie, ultimately,” he confessed. “He’s my muse. I would love to write 50 songs a year with him, but it’s just not on the cards; it just doesn’t work like that for him. When he’s in a writing process, it’s different than it is for me. I can write all the time. The way Ed really operates, the way that he loves to get music, is for something that’s immediate for you coming in at a time when he’s ready to connect with it. He likes to be in the process w...

Police Dog Attack at Illicit England Rave Leaves One Woman With Severe Injuries
An investigation has been launched after a 28-year-old woman was allegedly attacked by a police dog during a raid on an illicit Halloween rave near Bristol. The Guardian reports that police were called to the scene of an illegal warehouse rave around 10:30PM ten miles from Bristol, in a small town called Yate, on Halloween night. The rave had been going for nearly 24 hours before police arrived. When police arrived, hundreds of partygoers were flushed out of the warehouse when a police dog was allegedly set loose on Jessica Mae Andrew without warning. “The officers opened their wall of shields up slightly and the next minute the dog was mauling the top of my leg,” Andrew told The Guardian. “My leg is totally a different shape now as it pulled so much fat f...
10 Essential Tracks on Bad Bunny’s ‘El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo’: Staff Picks
Recorded in Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, Mexico, El Ultimo Tour del Mundo was born during the Coronavirus pandemic. Below, check out 10 essential tracks as recommended by Billboard Latin editors Griselda Flores and Jessica Roiz. “Te Mudaste” Though Bad Bunny took a different melodic route on his new album, “Te Mudaste” stays true to the essence of reggaeton. Towards the end, the beat completely transforms into an instrumental synthwave ’80s pop sound. Singing about the last time they made love and all the good times they had together, the nostalgic lyrics are about a person reminiscing about a long lost love. “Maldita Pobreza” A standout track on the album is the rock-en-español-inspired “Maldita Pobreza.” With a late ’80s/early ’...
First Stream Latin: New Music From Reik & Christian Nodal, Ecko’s Debut Album & More
Reik and Christian Nodal have joined forces for “Poco,” a heartfelt ranchera about finally overcoming a breakup. “From a kiss to kiss my broken heart has been able to heal/ I want to tell you that to forget you, very little is needed,” read part of the lyrics, composed by Andres Torres, Mauricio Rengifo and Camilo. A melancholic music video, directed by Fernando Lugo in Guadalajara, shows the two musical acts in different settings in the Mexican city. Reik’s lead singer Jesus Navarro says, “Poco” is a genuine collaboration that finds the middle point of both artists — both vocally and melodically. Camilo, El Alfa, “Bebé” (Sony Music Latin) On the heels of his playful cumbia, “Vida de Rico,” Camilo now presents a savory bachat...
