Lana Del Rey has announced the release date for her next album, The Right Person Will Stay, on social media. With 13 tracks featuring production from Jack Antonoff, Drew Erickson, and Luke Roberts, the album is due on May 21, 2025. Lana also plans to release some songs ahead of her headlining performance at next year’s Stagecoach Festival, starting with one called “Henry.”

The announcement comes a month after Del Rey told People that “I don’t want to turn it into something that’s half cooked.” She also promised a strong Americana influence in an interview with Vogue, noting, “The music business is going country. That’s why Jack [Antonoff] has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.” However, she also denied that it’d be a huge departure for her, saying, “All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana, unless it’s an album like Honeymoon which has a jazz flair, so I don’t think it will be a heavy departure.”

While fans waited on tenterhooks for news of her next release, it appears that Del Rey went out and found love. In September, she reportedly got married to Louisiana tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, saying that they’re “very happy.”

The Right Person Will Stay is due on 5/21/25 via Interscope and Polydor.

Ever since Kendrick Lamar dropped his surprise album GNX on Friday, it’s all any rap fan can talk about online. He gave them more food for thought with the video for “Squabble Up,” the album standout which he previously teased in the “Not Like Us” video five months ago. Now, fans can’t stop dissecting the pop culture references sprinkled throughout the video. While we may not be able to fully explain some of them because you just had to be there — who really knows why all our aunties had those dang panther statues in the living room — here is a breakdown of the references to Black film, music, and California in the “Squabble Up” video.

The Freeway Exit Sign

The video opens with a reproduction of an exit sign from the 105 Freeway that cuts through South Los Angeles. Specifically, the three eastbound exits listed — Wilmington, Central, and Long Beach Blvd. — are the ones pertaining specifically to Compton.

Scrapers And African-American Flags

The next big cultural reference is to scraper bikes, a fixture of Oakland, California, which grew out of lowrider car culture. In 2006, Tyrone “Baybe Champ” Stevenson Jr., aka Scraper Bike King, began modifying bicycles with scrap, cardboard, tinfoil, and paint in an effort to create a new hobby to keep youth out of trouble. Dancers throughout this scene “go dumb,” an expression of the hyphy culture that grew out of the Bay Area in the early 2000s.

The African-American Flag was created by David Hammons in 1990, combining the colors of the Pan-African Flag, black, green, and red, with the flag of the United States to represent African diaspora identity in the US. Historically, enslaved Africans were banned from learning about their home cultures; as a result, the Black American identity has become a way for their descendants to create a culture of their own.

Ice-T’s Power Album Cover

That buxom young lady holding the shotgun in a revealing swimsuit is a reference to the back cover of Ice-T’s 1988 album Power — an album considered pivotal in the rise of both LA’s rap scene and gangsta rap overall. Ice’s then-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz posed on the cover, while the album, like GNX, found Ice taking on rap’s heartthrob LL Cool J — sound familiar?

Soul Train Scramble Board

This one’s a super deep cut. The dance variety show Soul Train — a fixture in certain households in the ’80s and ’90s — included a recurring segment in which two dancers would try to solve a word scramble forming the name of that week’s musical guest or another notable Black figure.

The Big Wheel

Right around the two-minute mark, you might notice a small child on a Big Wheel tricycle in the background. This is a reference to the film Menace II Society. Spoiler alert for a 30-year movie: It doesn’t end well for Caine — or the kid on the Big Wheel.

Isaac Hayes’ Black Moses Album Cover

Near the end of the video, we see a reproduction of the cover of Isaac Hayes’ fifth studio album, which included his interpretations of “Never Can Say Goodbye,” and “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” and went No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1972. Behind him, we see a box of Black Jesus prints, which ought to speak for themselves.

The Roots’ “The Next Movement”

This one’s admittedly a bit shaky, but as one fan on Twitter pointed out, the clip bears a striking resemblance to the one for The Roots’ 1999 Things Fall Apart single, “The Next Movement.” Like GNX, that album also saw its principles taking steps in bringing music previously only acknowledged as underground to mainstream consciousness, while making subtle references to progressive social movements.

Watch Kendrick Lamar’s “Squabble Up” video above.

In recent weeks, chart watchers have been intently keeping an eye on the Billboard Hot 100, to see if Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has what it takes to become the longest-running No. 1 single in chart history. Prior to the latest chart (dated November 30), the song had been on top for 18 weeks, one shy of the 19-week record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.”

Well, the top 10 of the new chart is out now, and sure enough, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is No. 1 yet again, for a 19th total week, and has tied the all-time record. While the song is knotted for the overall record, it does extend its reign as the longest-running No. 1 song by a performer without an accompanied artist.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is excelling across the Billboard chart landscape: It’s also No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart for a 17th week and on the Hot Country Songs chart for a 23rd week.

Meanwhile, Teddy Swims just achieved a more under-the-radar accomplishment: “Lose Control,” at No. 4 this week, is in the top 10 for a 45th week, which is now the second-most of all time, behind only The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” with 57 top-10 weeks.

The Boston Celtics have been on a role to start this season, as the team is 14-3 at this early juncture, sits in second place in the Eastern Conference behind the scorching hot Cleveland Cavaliers (who Boston has already beaten this year), and looks to be in as good of a position to defend a championship as any team in recent memory. All of this has happened without the services of Kristaps Porzingis, who has not played this season after suffering a foot injury during the NBA Finals that required surgery.

Fortunately for the Celtics, their time without Porzingis on the floor is about to come to an end. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Boston is going to get Porzingis back during Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

“Porzingis has been making rapid improvements in his recovery from foot surgery in late June, completing scrimmages in recent weeks of practices with the Celtics and their NBA G League affiliate, Maine,” Charania wrote.

Porzingis joined the Celtics via a trade with the Washington Wizards last offseason and immediately became a perfect fit for how Joe Mazzulla wants to use his centers. His three point shooting and ability to protect the rim were invaluable when he was able to play, but a calf injury limited him to only seven games in the team’s run to a championship last year. Not long after his return in the NBA Finals, the Celtics announced that Porzingis suffered a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in his left leg during Game 2, which the team deemed a “rare injury.” He was able to play 16 minutes in their Game 5 win that sealed a championship, but needed offseason surgery.

It’s almost that time again: when you learn that “Night Moves” by Bob Seger is your most-played song for the seventh year in a row (just me?).

Kendrick Lamar putting his hometown on display in his videos isn’t exactly new, but he’s never before done it the way he does in his video for “Squabble Up.” The song, which interpolates Debbie Deb’s 1984 freestyle hit “When I Hear Music,” first appeared as a tag on the video for “Not Like Us,” prompting a fan frenzy for its official release. Those fans got exactly what they wanted with the surprise release of K. Dot’s new album GNX, which features dozens of references to LA culture and history, including that sample.

The video for the song, which Kendrick just dropped, likewise puts an appreciation for Los Angeles on display, opening with a street sign from the 105 Freeway (eastbound, if you know you know) that acts as Compton’s northern border and featuring dancers performing the various “walks” affiliated with street gangs and inner city residents who see that sign often. African American flags hang over Kendrick’s head as he reads a book titled How To Be More Like Kendrick For Dummies — a book whose publication would certainly cut down on certain online shenanigans by a bunch.

GNX is out now via PgLang/Interscope. You can get it here.

The Eras Tour has been a huge hit, but looking at it from Taylor Swift’s perspective, the tour has been a major part of her life for a long time: The tour started in March 2023, but she was presumably preparing for it well before that. Now, the end is coming up, as the final shows are scheduled for early December in Vancouver. As Swift approaches the finish line, it looks like she’s in an emotional place.

On The Eras Tour, Taylor Swift fans have made it a tradition to cheer for as long as possible after Swift performs “Champagne Problems.” Swift was especially moved by the Toronto ovation on November 23, as was made clear when she spoke to the audience.

As fan-shot videos like this one show, Swift took pauses, wiped away tears, and her voice wavered as she said:

“Toronto, we’re at the very end of this tour so you doing that, you have no idea how much it means to me and my band. To my band and to my crew, everybody who’s put so much of this into this tour… I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore, I’m just having a bit of a… sorry. It’s not even the last show.

My band, my crew, all my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this, and you put so much of your lives into being with us tonight and to giving us that moment that we will never forget. We’ve loved our time in Toronto. It’s been so amazing. I love you, guys, thank you so much for that.”

It’s appropriate that Kendrick Lamar named his new album after the 1987 Buick Grand National Experimental. Produced in limited quantities, it was never as ubiquitous as its predecessor, the Buick Regal, nor considered an out-and-out classic like some other ’80s muscle cars such as the Pontiac Firebird or Chevrolet Camaro IROC Z. But among auto enthusiasts, it’s an underrated favorite, the sort of “if you know, you know signifier” of a true head.

In that way, Kendrick has a lot in common with the GNX. He’s a one-of-one; the talents don’t get much rarer than his. And while he’s certainly received his fair share of recognition over the years — the Grammys, the Pulitzer, the mid-career Billboard No. 1s — it’s fair to say, that his true value as a lyricist and cultural figure isn’t really for general audiences, even if they refuse to understand or accept that about themselves (“Not Like Us” is a hit, but, well… look at who all’s singing along).

GNX, the album, is also a lot like the GNX, the car. It knows what it is, and it knows what it ain’t. The 1987 issue of Car And Driver that tested the roadster had this to say of it: “In a world of sleek shapes and refined manners, the GNX is an axe­-wielding barbarian laying waste to everything in its path.” This statement could double as a fairly accurate assessment of Kendrick’s new album too — the album his day one fans have been waiting for since 2009.

That was the year Kendrick swapped out “K. Dot” as his official rap name with the Kendrick Lamar EP, a mixtape that quickly flashed his early promise, but belied his gangster-adjacent, Compton roots. Since then, each album has shifted a paradigm or addressed a social ill… but for some of us (okay, fine, me, specifically), none of those albums completely satisfied what we knew we wanted from the Hub City prophet. There was always more he could do; another edit to make, a more focused beat selection, for him to turn his labyrinthine wordplay toward something less solipsistic.

He got close on DAMN. in 2017, earning himself a Pulitzer Prize in the process, but again, the album felt like it was for everybody — or, at least, not for us. Dot’s songs always seemed to reach out for broader acceptance, even when he was baring his soul, wearing his heart on his sleeve, and dashing it open to spill its ruby contents. The influences of Kendrick inspirations like DMX, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Nas were always apparent, but seemingly sublimated the ones that should have been there all along, like DJ Quik, MC Eiht, MC Ren, and King Tee — even when their names appeared on the tracklist.

But with GNX, Kendrick finally sheds expectations that he would be an avatar of intellectualism and sophistication in rap. It’s not for anybody those who know. Songs like “Squabble Up,” with its call back to LA’s hip-hop foundations in freestyle music like the interpolated Debbie Deb hit “When I Hear Music,” or “Dodger Blue,” with its call-outs of transplants afraid to cross the 10 freeway and shout-outs to high schools below the 105, are for Angelenos, those tapped into the culture of lowriders and set trippin’, of Drew League in the summer and functions broken up by ghetto birds and fist fights between reds and blues.

Songs like “Man At The Garden” and “Reincarnated” are salutes to rap heads who care more about the storytelling in the songs that moved them than the punchlines and metaphors that cause scrunch faces at backpack rap shows. They are not for people who think hip-hop is just for dancing in the club or pissing off their parents; they are for people who move and talk and think and breathe through hip-hop because hip-hop is what gives them life, speaking to them in languages that they can both hear and understand, word to Sidney Dean and Jimi Hendrix. Brands can bite the “Mustard Meme” prompted by “TV Off” all they want, but everything around that iconic ad-lib is a smoke signal to a certain kind of person — the kind those brands would hate to see step into their boardrooms, even as they try desperately to co-opt the clout such characters effortless carry with them. It ain’t on us, it’s in us.

GNX is stripped of the artifice and gimmickry that anchored Kendrick’s critically hailed introspective projects like To Pimp A Butterfly and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Free of the weight of expectations — ours and his own — K. Dot delivers an album about his home, and how it affected him… but in typical Kendrick fashion is about more. It is about politics — the both the hood kind and the kind that create the material conditions for the previous kind to exist. It is about how and why music has been the lifesblood of a people who spent 250 years at the bottom of the American social hierarchy yet define its cultural identity. It is about protecting yourself from outsiders, and it’s about taking off the mask that keeps them comfortable while keeping ourselves from knowing who we are — a common theme in rap releases this year from Vince Staples’ Dark Times to Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia.

It’s the album we — and when I say “we,” I want to you to know that if you question whether that includes you, then it probably doesn’t — always wanted from Kendrick Lamar. Unapologetically LA, with the brute force to truly create the sort of impact his inspirations had; confessional but self-assured in the way only someone who has come to terms with himself can be. GNX is all muscle, no fat, built for the streets, and for those in the know; everyone else can get left in the dust.

(SPOILERS for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 will be found below.)

The sixth season of Cobra Kai presented the bleakest episode (Season 6, Episode 10) of the series. This landed as a surprise not only due to those final moments but because Daniel-san’s kidnapping (by cartoon villain Terry Silver) had just been resolved with a semi-jokey vibe. That tone was in line with the series’ heightened reality, which usually doesn’t weigh too heavily upon an audience seeking to be entertained. Yet the season took a horrific turn when Kwon fell upon the knife that Kreese had been holding behind his back while Sekai Taikai continued to devolve into chaos.

That moment when Kwon (who is formally part of the Cobra Kai, but that dojo’s lines have blurred with Miyagi-do throughout the series) was killed took this generally sunny series into an unprecedented dark place. Presumably, Season 6 Part 3 will resolve everything and restore The Karate Kid universe’s order before next year’s movie. However, there’s more: the Kwon tragedy followed the show’s revelation that Mr. Miyagi had not only fought at the Sekai Taikai tournament but had killed an opponent. WTF.

With that said (what?), it’s hard not to wonder whether Cobra Kai is suggesting that there is some sort of curse on either Miyagi-do or the Sekai Taikai or the intersection therein. Fortunately, Hollywood Reporter‘s Demetrius Patterson had the same question and broached the subject while interviewing co-creators Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald, and Hayden Schlossberg. In response, Hurwitz admitted that “[I]t’s very possible” and that “there’s a brutality” to the Sekai Taikai that adds “a level of danger beyond the All Valley [Tournament].” As for the idea of a curse, Hurwitz offered this insight:

“In terms of Miyagi, we learned that match ended in death in the past and a thing that we may find out more about is, what exactly happened in that match? All we know are the results, and that’s what Daniel is wrestling with there. When he’s seeing what happens with Kwon, it’s this element of history repeating itself right in front of Daniel LaRusso. And it continues his soul searching – not just about Mr. Miyagi, but about karate and tournaments in general.”

We do know that Daniel-san hasn’t been doing well emotionally over Miyagi’s hidden past, and even though he and Johnny (supposedly for real this time) vanquished their decades-long beef, plenty of emotional turmoil is still smacking the franchise’s original protagonist in the face. This existential karate woe could, however, bridge the gap between Cobra Kai and the Karate Kid: Legends movie, which comes out on May 30, 2025.

In the meantime, the series will hopefully resolve the “curse” business when Cobra Kai returns for the final time on Feb. 13, 2025.

This is the time of year where the music industry generally starts to wind down (unless you’re Kendrick Lamar). Most of the year’s biggest albums have been released and folks are gearing up to make a splash next year.

There’s still one more significant matter to tackle in 2024, though: the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, which are set to air on December 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox (or on-demand via Paramount+). Today (November 25), the finalists were announced.

Unlike other award shows, instead of being voted on by a committee, winners are determined by year-end Billboard chart data from October 28, 2023 to October 19, 2024, so the winners are based on data, not the opinions of a select few.

Zach Bryan is this year’s leading finalist with 21 entries, while Taylor Swift is close behind with 17. After them are Morgan Wallen (15 entries), Sabrina Carpenter (9), Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, Teddy Swims, Tyla (8 each), Bad Bunny, Benson Boone, Chandler Moore, Jung Kook, Naomi Raine, Shaboozey, and SZA (6 each).

First-time finalists include Swims, Tyla, Boone, Shaboozey, Tommy Richman, and Chappell Roan.
