As someone who’s stepped into a WWE ring on multiple occasions, Bad Bunny knows sometimes it’s better to just tap out. One such occasion was his recent appearance on First We Feast’s Hot Ones — when he quit the spicy wings challenge midway through the taping.

It was apparent from the start that tearing through hot wings wouldn’t come easy for Bad Bunny. “It’s a problem because they’re so fucking spicy but it’s really good,” he told host Sean Evans near the beginning of the episode. “I should’ve asked my doctor before this shit.”

As the Scoville levels increased with each wing, Bad Bunny grew concerned for his stomach. “My ass is what’s going to be messed up when it’s time to sit down,” he said. “I’m worried about my colon.” Later on, he added,...

Besides plenty of hit songs, Drake has established himself as one of the wealthiest rappers in the game. Despite some feuds, Drake’s net worth is certainly not something to diss.

While most people think of Drake (whose real name is Aubrey Graham) for his countless hits, the rapper has been in the public eye for most of his life.

Drake began his career as an actor, and he’s still remembered by many Degrassi fans for his portrayal of Jimmy on the teen drama. In the late aughts, the actor made the transition to music, and he’s become a global superstar.

Since pivoting to music, many of his records have been regarded as classics, like Thank Me Later and If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late. Throughout his career, Drake has broken and set streaming and Billboard records.

When putting together the song, “Piece by Piece,” for the documentary about his life of the same name, Pharrell Williams saw it as a chance explore everything in his life that has led him to where he is right now. “It’s thinking about how everything collectively is your story. If you think about all of the crazy times that you have experienced in your life and all the fun times and all the sad times and all of the momentous time and all the times you were caught off guard by things that just blindsided you,” he tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the video interview above). He even traces it to the medium in which his story is told in the film. “They’re all piece by piece and it’s very interesting that it’s sort of synonymous with how the Lego world works.”

This year, J. Cole gave rap fans the opportunity to wade into nostalgia. His new podcast series, Inevitable, recollects the first chapter of his career, and he’s spent the past few weeks re-releasing his early mixtapes to DSPs. Later this month, he’ll take the stage at Madison Square Garden for a Forest Hills Drive 10-year-anniversary concert (replete with new editions of the album featuring eight unreleased songs from that era). It’s clear the Fayetteville-born Mc is celebrating his considerable foothold in rap history. His latest offerings are...

Few bands have made an impact on the modern alternative rock genre like Linkin Park has. Pioneering nu-metal rock bands like Korn, Faith No More, and Public Enemy helped pioneer the rising hip-hop-infused genre of the 1990s with the grunge and hard rock influences of groups like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Stone Temple Pilots. Linkin Park became a result of these two decade-defining pools of rock on the heels of the pioneering electronic rock sound of Nine Inch Nails. Their 2000 debut album Hybrid Theory combined these influences and became one of the most emblematic LPs of the 21st century.

The group's 2003 sophomore effort, Meteroa, is one of the most purchased albums of the 21st century with more than 27 million copies sold worldwide. Despite their iconic original hip-hop/metal sound, mixed with Mike Shinoda's piercing bars and Chester Bennington's even more piercing scream vocals, Linkin Park leaned more...

Pharrell Williams is revisiting memories of his time working at McDonald’s—and the firings that followed.

The “Happy” singer and acclaimed producer recently shared the story of his short-lived fast-food job. “McDonald’s, my first and only job — got fired three times,” Williams said in a new interview with the BBC. “I was eating the chicken nuggets.”

The Grammy winner explained that his nugget snacking didn’t go unnoticed. “It got me in trouble,” Williams said. “I got fired three times. Not for the same thing. The first two times, it was just because I was lazy. The third time, it was just kind of like, ‘Dude, what are you doing? Why are you just sitting there eating nuggets? What are you doing?'”

The following contains spoilers for Piece by Piece, now playing in theaters

Piece by Piece is based on the life of Pharrell Williams, and explores the true story of his evolution and growth of the musician. Directed by Academy Award-winning documentarian Morgan Neville, Piece by Piece is a fairly standard approach to the artist bio-pic. Piece by Piece's cast includes the musician, his family, and his musical collaborators contributing to the animated film's recreation of true events.

Piece by Piece's cast includes some of music's biggest stars, all reflecting on their interactions with Pharrell. The animated nature of the film allows it to take some specific liberties with true life, reimagining certain events through a more cartoonish style that builds to an emotional ending for Piece by Piece. However, there are also some specific details of Pharrell's youth and life that are tweaked or underplayed within the movie's narrative.

Two days before the Pharrell Williams biopic Piece by Piece hits theaters, Focus Features has shared one last trailer for the animated film that tells the musical hyphenate’s life story via Legos.

As the new trailer reveals, among the other artists and collaborators who also get Lego-fied in Piece by Piece are Kendrick Lamar, Gwen Stefani, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg, Pusha T, Busta Rhymes, Timbaland and more.

“One day you wake up and realize that this was all designed,” Williams says in voiceover in the trailer, “and there’s...

Kid Cudi has released a new single, “Don’t Worry,” alongside a self-directed music video for the track. The song, which features Chip Tha Ripper, accompanies issue #4 of Kid Cudi’s comic book series, Moon Man.

The music video features Cudi and Chip Tha Ripper on the streets and rooftops of New York City, as well as in the studio. A title card at the beginning of the video notes, “I moved to NY in 2004. Over the years it became my second home. To the people of NY, this is my love letter to you.

This year marked the 40th anniversary of the first MTV Video Music Awards, a milestone that’s somewhat blunted by the realization that this isn’t your mother’s VMAs. The network handed over the reins to viewers beginning in 2006, letting them pick the winners in all of the main categories. And in recent years, the VMAs have moved even further away from the “video” designation of its name, doling out moonmen for Song of the Year and Song of the Summer.

One thing that hasn’t changed about the VMAs, however, is the opportunity for show-stopping performances, something MTV acknowledged this year with a new Most Iconic Performance category. The winner in that race, Katy Perry, was also bestowed with the semi-annual Video Vanguard award. From Perry flying through the air like a, uh, firework to Madonna rolling around in a wedding dress at the inaugural VMAs in 1984, we...

The 2024 Telluride Film Festival kicked off August 30 and runs through September 2 in the Colorado mountains. Deadline is on the ground to watch all the key films.

Among the films appearing in the mountains for the first time anywhere are director Saturday Night, Jason Reitman’s tale of the 1975 first episode of SNL; the film version of August Wilson’s acclaimed stage play The Piano Lesson, a Washington family affair with producer Denzel, director Malcolm and star John David; Oscar winner Edward Berger’s papal thriller The Conclave; Scott Magehee and David Siegel’s heartwarming The Friend, starring Naomi Watts, Bill Murray and a scene-stealing Great Dane Bing; and MGM, Orion and Plan B’s Nickel Boys, an adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer-winning novel.

“You take it apart, then you put it back together piece by piece.” That, in a nutshell, is why Pharrell Williams was inspired to do his biopic completely in the animated world of Lego.

Turning the standard music-oriented documentary life story on its head, Williams enlisted Oscar and Grammy-winning documentarian Morgan Neville to direct and conceive a format that would bring the uber-creative life of Williams to a happy place cinematically. Surprisingly, it brings a freshness and originality to a docu format that makes it feel all new again.

In a way that actually is standard in biopics, the basic bricks of Williams’ life are told in linear fashion with the first part taking place as he was growing up in the projects of Virginia Beach. A little bit of an outcast, not quite blending in with other kids, but finally finding his mojo,...

Virginia-based rapper and entrepreneur Fam-Lay has been making waves with his RnB Block Party alongside business partner Antonio Dowe. Now the pair, along with their friend Pusha T, are expanding with Cousinz Festival, a one-day showcase on Aug. 31 at Norfolk’s historic Scope Arena, headlined by Erykah Badu. The festival has been in the works for about a year, and the guys tell Rolling Stone that they utilized their local connections to put everything together in a relatively short time frame.

Who is the real Childish Gambino? The punchline rapper of 2013’s Because the Internet, exploring his identity crises alongside the majestic movie magic of Ludwig Göransson? The psychedelic funkateer of 2016’s “Awaken My Love” who sang psychedelic ragers about love, unity and rebellion? The experimental R&b star of 2020’s 3.20.2020, who tinkered with dance and country and all kinds of Prince-isms? The answer, of course, is all of the above, so don’t be surprised that his fifth and supposedly final album, Bando Stone & the New World, has the actor-writer-director-comedian-singer-rapper-songwriter-producer...

Hip-hop duo Clipse are set to cement their reunion with a new album coming sometime in the “next year” produced entirely by Pharrell Williams.

Shortly after their new song titled “Birds Don’t Sing” was played in the background at Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2025 Menswear show on Tuesday (June 18th), brothers Pusha T and Malice (who has officially dropped the “No” from his name) spoke with Vulture about their first album in 15 years.

“The next year is going to be filled with appearances, touring, and a rap album of the year,” Push pronounced, before describing the project as “curated,” “a high taste-level piece of work,” and the “supreme maturation of a rap duo.”

He continued, “You can only have that level of taste when you have the fundamentals down to a science.” Malice added, “It’s what rap should look like if you’re real about your craft, real about your experience,...

The Clipse, made up of brothers Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton and Gene “Malice” Thornton, opened up about the inspiration of “Birds Don’t Sing,” a track off their upcoming album. The forthcoming album is the latest since their Pharrell Williams-produced 2009 album Til the Casket Drops.

In “Birds Don’t Sing,” the freestyle rappers discuss the death of their parents, a stark contrast from the drug deal parables of the early and late 2000s, Vulture reported Wednesday. They debuted the track at Pharrell’s spring/summer mens show for Louis Vuitton Tuesday.

When USC professor and hip-hop scholar Todd Boyd remembers hearing Tupac Shakur’s scathing diss track “Hit ‘Em Up,” he knew one thing: “This is not going to end well.”

The West Coast anthem was released in June 1996 and Shakur viciously took aim at his East Coast rivals, including the Notorious B.I.G. with claims — through strikingly chosen words — that he slept with Biggie’s wife, R&b singer Faith Evans.

The rap war escalated to new heights, and three months later Shakur was shot to death in Las Vegas, with some wondering (though apparently incorrectly) whether the beef had anything to with it. And a few months after that, Biggie was shot dead in Los Angeles though his killer never apprehended.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s current rap beef has Boyd reflecting on the past.

“This can’t end well. It can’t. The possibility of it going wrong is very high,...

Nearly three weeks ago, Kid Cudi broke his foot three when he jumped off the stage during his Coachella set, resulting in an injury that left him no choice but to cancel his forthcoming tour. The rapper has since shared a health update with his fans, proving that he really wasn’t being dramatic — the images he shared of his recent x-rays show that nearly a dozen screws were been placed in his foot during surgery.

“Got my boot! The road to recovery has begun,” Cudi wrote on X (formerly...

Are Kendrick Lamar and Drake just going to keep dissing each other for the rest of their lives? Probably, yes. So here we go with another beef that began after the Canadian rapper dropped a seven-and-a-half-minute track Family Matters, in response to Lamar’s 6:16 in LA, which led the latter to have his last laugh with a new song Meet the Grahams.

After Drake fired shots at Kendrick Lamar with Family Matters, where he accused the rapper of fathering a child that isn’t biologically his, Lamar released Meet the Grahams. In his new track, Lamar alleged Drake was hiding a daughter that the world does not know about. Following K.Dot’s latest diss track, the God’s Plan singer broke his silence over the Crompton rapper’s allegations.

Drake Fired Shots at Kendrick Lamar with Family Matters

It...

It’s probably a good thing Drake is taking a vacation.

No less than 30 minutes after Drake dropped his latest Kendrick Lamar diss track, “Family Matters,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper has returned the fire with “Meet the Grahams.”

“Dear Adonis, I’m sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest,” Lamar raps to begin the track, setting the stage for a deeply personal and vicious six-minute offering. Lamar proceeds to calls Drake a “master manipulator,” “with kinks of a nympho fetish,” who is hiding a secret daughter.

“And we gotta raise our daughters knowin’ there’s predators like him lurkin’/ Fuck a rap battle, he should die so all of these women can live with a purpose,” Lamar raps.

Lamar then addresses Drake’s alleged daughter directly: “Dear baby girl, I’m sorry that your father not active inside your world/ He don’t commit to much but his music,...

Blake Lively and K-Pop star Rosé are among the celebs who stepped out to support Pharrell Williams at the launch of his new jewelry collection.

Pharrell celebrated the launch of the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection at the House’s iconic Fifth Avenue flagship The Landmark on Thursday (May 2) in New York City.

More guests at the event included Gabrielle Union, Ayo Edebiri, Maggie Rogers, Hannah Einbinder, Anitta, Rosalia, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, Derek Blasberg, and Pharrell‘s wife Helen Lasichanh.

Adopting the structure of the trident, the Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection incorporates “sharp, spear-like spikes within an array of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings embodying a sense of punk spirit. Portraying a dialogue between tensions, proportion and balance, the collection appeals to individuals with a unique mindset and powerful force that confronts the ordinary.”

Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams is available this May exclusively on Tiffany.

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues, as both rappers constantly get back at each other by releasing diss tracks aimed at one another. The squabble initially began when Lamar fired shots at the Canadian rapper with Like That. Thereafter, the One Dance singer escalated the feud by releasing Push Ups, aimed at Lamar.

Taking things to the next level, Kendrick Lamar officially re-entered the battleground with Euphoria, as his rebuttal to 37-year-old Drake’s latest diss track. In the six-minute diss, Lamar took shots at the Canadian rapper’s biracial identity, career, and even his personal life. Considering the ear-bleeding level of attack, Rick Ross hopped on his Instagram Story and urged the 37-year-old to not respond to the track.

Kid Cudi has been forced to cancel his tour after breaking his foot at Coachella over the weekend. During the fest’s Weekend Two on Sunday night, the rapper went to the hospital with a broken foot after jumping off the stage at the Sahara Tent.

But it seems the injury was more serious than he initially thought, and on Wednesday, the rapper announced that he must now undergo surgery. “I have a broken calcaneus,” the rapper posted on social media . “I’m headed to surgery now and there’s...

The ongoing feud between Drake and what appears to be every one of his peers in the rap world continues and now Kanye West, Drake’s longtime adversary, has entered the chat. On Saturday, only hours after Drake dropped his AI-assisted Kendrick Lamar diss “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Kanye made an appearance on Justin Laboy’s radio show The Download and premiered his remix to “Like That,” the Kendrick-assisted Future and Metro Boomin single that’s set off an industry-wide war where Drizzy is in everyone’s crosshairs. Ye also...

Kid Cudi is headed to the desert this weekend and will be joining Weekend Two of Coachella 2024.

The fest made the announcement on Tuesday evening, sharing an Instagram post of Weekend Two’s updated schedule and listing Kid Cudi on Sunday from 5:10 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. at the Sahara tent. Teasing his performance, the post was captioned, “On the pursuit of happiness.”

Vampire Weekend, who performed last Saturday (with a surprise appearance from Paris Hilton to play cornhole), will not be returning for Weekend Two.

If Drake and Kendrick finally have a rap battle for the ages, it won’t be solely because of Kendrick’s recent verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” It (probably) won’t be over industry politics that we’re not privy to, pillow talking, or whatever other trivial issues have caused prior rap feuds. I’m not the biggest fan of rap beef because, as Snoop Dogg told Latto, it’s often a product of ego intensified by corporate forces looking to maintain division. But Drake and...

Kid Cudi is embarking on a world tour in support of his ninth studio album, Insano.

Top Dawg Entertainment signee Ray Vaughn is joined by relative rap veteran Pusha T on his new single “Problems.” The nearly four minutes of straight lyricism connects not only generation but regions, with Ray Vaughn from Long Beach, California and Pusha T famously raised in Virginia Beach. “Let em label me a backpack rapper/Turn to a school shooter/All they top five get hit/Unless they cool tutors,” Ray Vaughn raps early on, leaning into his identity as a serious wordsmith in an era where hip-hop can be anything,...

If you have ever heard any of Rick Ross’ internationally popular songs, such as Stay Schemin featuring Drake and French Montana or B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast) featuring Styles P, you have probably noticed the classy Maybach Music tag on each instrumental. Throughout Ross’ discography, the well-known statement—which represents his record label, Maybach Music—appears on numerous tracks.

And after more than a decade of studios’ wearing the tag, last year, the 48-year-old finally revealed the voice behind it.

Ross confirmed on Instagram on August 29, 2023, that Jessica Gomes is the voice behind the Maybach Music Group. The Australian model, who has appeared in multiple campaigns, was born in Sydney to a Chinese father and a Singaporean mother of Chinese descent.

Kenzo’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, presented at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, documents the intercultural exchanges that have intervened between East and West, America and Japan, and most notably in the show, between George Lucas’ science fiction and Akira Kurosawa’s historic imagery. The two distinct ways of filmmaking combined to inspire a perfect synthesis in Kenzo’s show. The fashion label is owned by Lvmh.

Kenzo’s artistic director Nigo, the DJ and record producer, already known as the founder of the streetwear brand A Bathing Ape, once again depicted the introduction of non-Western influences into Eastern culture as a key element of his imagery when designing for the fashion house founded by Kenzo Takada. For this collection, he drew inspiration from films such as Lucas’ Star Wars franchise and Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress.

The Japanese designer praised the way Lucas and his costume designers drew inspiration from kimonos,...

Between Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Anthony Fantano, and many more, we’ve heard some pretty good Drake disses over the years. But now, Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) is giving everyone a run for their money with a new diss of epic proportions. Evoking the literal collapse of modern civilization to drive his point home, the seasoned rapper said that Drizzy’s output is less “hip-hop” and more like shopping at Target.

The comments came during Bey’s recent appearance on the fashion podcast The Cutting Room Floor when host, Recho Omondi, asked point-blank if he considered Drake “hip-hop.” After a pause — and a begrudging “Why are you doing this to me?” — Bey unleashed his opinion: “Drake is pop to me. In the sense, like, if I was in Target in Houston and I heard a Drake song… it feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping.

No stranger to corporate jingles, Pusha T has hopped on a new song titled “Paper Right” as part of a new ad campaign for the financial services organization Tiaa. While Push’s verse mostly stays on the theme of retirement planning, he sneaks in a coke rap about his drug dealing days, too.

On the posse cut with Wyclef Jean, CoSign alum Lola Brooke, Flau’jae, and Capella Grey, Push spits a cautionary tale from the past. “Stood tall on ’em corners/ Old ladies warned us, so they ain’t have to mourn us,” he raps. “Street lords said, ‘Join us’/ You could turn a brick to a Beamer, here some pointers/ Nowadays, I’m ignorin’ ’em.”

Push continues with lines about building a legacy for his son and leaving behind generational wealth, though he admits to keeping a “side hustle” to hit his apparently lofty goals. Stream the track and...

Pusha T has gone from dissing McDonalds to promoting long-term financial independence in a new posse cut with Wyclef Jean, Lola Brooke, Flau’jae, and Capella Grey, “Paper Right,” that’s part of a new Tiaa ad campaign.

The song is kinda exactly what you’d expect from a don’t-call-it-a-jingle jingle for a financial giant focused on providing retirement services. “Financial freedom is so fulfillin’,” Brooke raps in her verse, “Generational wealth is what you show the children.”

Pusha T basically does the same (“Rather build a legacy for my son,...

Clipse rapper No Malice has thrown his hat into the ring of unpredictable musical team-ups, welcoming potential collaborations with the likes of Coldplay and The Killers.

Malice and Pusha T sat down with their manager Steven Victor in a recent interview with Goat, in which the duo revealed whom they’d like to collaborate with in the future.

“As far as hip-hop goes, the highwater mark is always collaborating with Jay-Z, so I would like that,” Malice began. “Outside of hip-hop, I would like to see Clipse with artists like Coldplay and The Killers, with big arena records, festivals, something that moves globally.”

King Push, however, feels a little differently, after seemingly reaching his collaboration limit. “Man. I don’t know. I’m collab’d out,” he said. “I don’t even care about collaborations if it’s not among a great body of work. I’m into cohesive, great bodies of work.

Drake’s latest project, Scary Hours 3, is littered with pointed references to his usual rivals, but the rapper also takes a moment to tip his hat to Taylor Swift on the opening track, “Red Button.”

After boasting about being “the most decorated” rapper and decimating the competition on the Billboard charts, Drake admits Swift is the only artist who would prompt him to push back an album release date.

“Taylor Swift the only n**** that I ever rated,” he raps. “Only one could make me drop the album just a little later/ Rest of y’all, I treat you like you never made it.”

Drake and Swift have shared some form of friendship for over a decade. In April 2022, Drake caused speculation that they could be recording a collaboration after posting a photo on Instagram of him in an embrace with Swift. As it turns out, the flick was actually...

Warning! This article contains Major Spoilers for Rick and Morty season 7, episode 5

Rick's quest for revenge on Rick Prime consumes him, ultimately leading to a hollow victory and a sense of emptiness. Slow Mobius's widow in the post-credits scene shows that revenge is not the answer, as she finds fulfillment by moving on and building a new relationship. Rick's failure to find happiness and fulfillment highlights the possibility of a better life if he had chosen to let go of his vendetta earlier.

While Rick and Morty season 7, episode 5 finally gave Rick revenge on Rick Prime, the outing’s post-credits stinger went on to prove that this was all for nothing. There is an old proverb that claims anyone seeking revenge should dig two graves, one for his enemy and one for himself. However, there is an equally prevalent outlook on revenge epitomized by Pusha T in the legendary...

Don’t expect Jay-Z to follow the trend of veteran artists selling their masters. In a two-part interview with CBS News’ Gayle King, the rapper recalled how reacquiring his master recordings was “the fight of my life” and said he would leave the decision of selling his catalog to his children.

The band shared their emphatic (and very French) gratitude in a press release: “A huge thank you to le Roi Pusha-t — most played artist in our backstage; to Chad Hugo, who always showed up when we were playing in Virginia, it’s about time we worked together! And to Benee, who worked at light speed to make this happen and added some magic. Merci!!!”

As random of a team-up as it may seem, it is fun to hear Pusha spit over Phoenix’s disco-punk instrumental, before Benne closes out the song with a mellow final verse. The track comes...
