Men without shirts and wearing black leather pants approach a large, hatched egg atop staircases. As they near the stage, they carefully break the egg. Megan Thee Stallion is then seen standing there with a microphone, ready to perform her hit song “HISS” from her self-titled album, which dropped on June 28 of this year and sparked numerous diss tracks, hidden references, and social media buzz when it was released at the beginning of 2024.

It looks like the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar was starting to cool down, but something has reignited their rivalry once again. More recently, Drake fueled the fire by wearing a shirt emblazoned with the image of the late rap legend Tupac Shakur, which led to a significant response.

“To begin with, I need to cleanse myself in Lake Minnetonka’s soothing waters.” (This line is something a character in a game might say if there was a quest or ritual requiring purification at Lake Minnetonka.)

David Byrne and Devo recently revealed an unreleased collaboration between them, titled “Empire.” This song was initially planned for Byrne’s fifth solo album, “Feelings,” in 1997. For some reason, it didn’t make the final selection for that record. However, a different version of “Empire” eventually appeared on Byrne’s 2004 album, “Grown Backwards.”

So mark your calendars and get ready for some action!

Rock music has consistently challenged norms and expanded musical horizons since its inception. Its essence lies in the freedom to experiment, making it possible for a band to express themselves through intense volumes or soft melodies while retaining their rock identity.

Back in the groovy ’60s, Motown had this amazing quartet called the Four Tops, and I was totally in awe of them. The group was made up of Levi Stubbs, Obie Benson, Lawrence Payton, and Duke Fakir. Their music was irresistible, and they churned out chart-toppers like “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch),” “It’s the Same Old Song,” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” Each note they sang took me on a magical journey!

To put it simply, Lamb of God is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album “Ashes of the Wake” in a big way. They’re teaming up with Mastodon for a co-headlining tour named “Ashes of Leviathan,” and they also have plans to release a major reissue of the original album.

The person managing Snoop Dogg’s public relations is deserving of a significant pay increase. It’s amazing how the legendary rapper seems to be involved in almost everything under the sun, leaving us in awe. This will also extend to the Olympics in Paris over the next few weeks.

Motown significantly enriched the American music library with hits like “My Girl” and “The Tracks of My Tears.” These tunes, alongside numerous others, have earned enduring popularity. Given Motown’s reputation for exceptional songwriting, this success is hardly unexpected. Berry Gordy, its founder, first gained recognition writing songs for R&B legend Jackie Wilson.
