I Kind of Don't Want Your Stupid Love
When the Stupid Love music video dropped, I was praying for an 80s banger with cinematography and choreo to oust Madonna at her prime. I was manifesting a storyline comprable to Paparazzi because Miss Stefani deserves that for her big comeback. I was begging the universe for her to touch up her roots for the first time in months for this. At least we got a wig. I guess.

What happened to The Weeknd?
It has been three long awaited years and I think it is time to ask the question: Where is The Weeknd? We all remember him 3 or 4 years ago as the man who dropped classic hits like “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Often,” and “The Hills.” The Weeknd was at the top of the charts as being an original R&B/Pop singer from Toronto, so what changed in the last few years and what has he been doing since then?

At just 25 years old, Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Drew Bieber has amassed an enormous public following much unlike anything the digital world has ever seen before, complete with high-profile collaborations and co-signs, record-breaking stretches at the top of the Billboard charts, a merchandise line that went rather quickly from collection of simple fan goodies to sophisticated (and viral) fashion statement and a multitude of other staggering achievements to boot.

A Filmmaker's Biography: Nina Simone
Undoubtedly one of the greatest voices in the history of music, she is also a cultural phenomenon. Her music and her message still rings proud today as many still listen and relate to her powerful, often darkly brooding and passionate sound. Her powerful, authentic voice of black power was only one of the major things that made her famous and her image contributed to a mass change amongst the black community of respecting what they looked like as they were, loving themselves and who they were. Nina Simone refused to change her hair for white people, keeping it in afro form and as authentic as possible. She refused to change her sound, keeping the authentic jazz and blues as her go-to song. She refused to change her lyrics to make white people comfortable and her most famous songs include "Mississippi Goddamn" and "Revolution".

How A Rainbow headed rapper with 69 tattooed all over his body changed rap FOREVER
Tekashi 6ix9ine is without a doubt the most interesting rapper we have ever seen in history. Comparing Tekashi to any artist we have ever experienced in the past would be impossible, not only because of his success but also because of how mind-blowing his story truly is. From his look to his actions Tekashi’s persona was just as interesting as his image and kept the entire world engaged every step of the way. Today I want to discuss how a rainbow headed rapper with the numbers sixty-nine tattooed on his body (as he claims) over two hundred times, changed how we perceive rap forever.

Review of 'Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice'
My wife and I finally had a chance to see the CNN documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice last night. It was just perfect -- in terms of the time it devoted to Ronstadt's many performances, the sheer range and power of them all, and the many people, after all these years almost as famous as she, with whom she interacted and changed their lives.
