mgk's new album
I love Machine Gun Kelly. I think I have about 60 of his songs saved to my Spotify right now. My partner says he fell off and sold out but I strongly disagree with him. He just released a new album on August 8th titled "Lost Americana" after his break-up with Megan Fox and let's just say I am here for it.

Pour Some Sugar on Me
Disclaimer: Music videos, contrary to popular belief, are not art. They are commercials for the art of the music. Like advertisements, they employ similar elements of art like writing, directing, acting, and the incorporation of statues, paintings, or other artistic articles. Now, with that out of the way, Tyler the Creator’s video for his excellent single “SUGAR ON MY TONGUE” is a mixed bag.
