The Little League World Series can often produce incredible moments, both in terms of awe-inspiring athletic achievement from the youngsters on the field and awesome sportsmanship on display.
On Tuesday, we saw the latter on display in the first inning of the Southwest Region Final between Texas East and Oklahoma, when the Texas East pitcher, Kaiden Shelton, had a fastball get away from him and hit Oklahoma batter Isaiah Jarvis in the helmet. It was a scary scene, but happily the helmet did its job and Jarvis was alright, able to continue on in the game and take his spot at first base to continue the inning. However, Shelton was very shaken up by what had just happened and was struggling to move on from the moment, so the batter strode to the mound and gave him a hug, consoling him and encouraging him to keep on pitching.

Itâs a very cool moment that is pretty unique to an event like the Little League World Series, and kudos to Jarvis for being willing to show that kind of compassion for his opponent who very clearly delivered that high and tight pitch on accident given his reaction. Shelton would still leave the game afterwards, as it was understandably a difficult thing to continue on the mound after having a pitch get away after, but heâll surely appreciate the show of support from Jarvis and everyone else at the ballpark.
On one fateful day in September 2017, Dennis Graham, best known as Drakeâs dad, sat down and had a tattoo artist put Drakeâs face right on his bicep. That was nearly five years ago now but the ink is still on Drakeâs mind: Yesterday, he dug up a photo of the portrait, shared it on Instagram, and wrote, â@therealdennisg I was just sitting here thinking why you do me like this we family [crying laughing emojis].â Graham responded in the comments, âHahaha I had 16 people to try and straighten this out,theyâre hurting me.â
The good news (for Dennisâ sake) is that he quickly got the tattoo re-done: In February 2018, Inal Bersekov took a crack at covering up the tattoo and the result came out a lot better than the original attempt at it.
Drake and Graham are not the only ones having a laugh at the tattoo in its original form, as Drake re-sharing it brought renewed attention to it and therefore fresh fan reactions.
Plenty of folks chimed in with who they think the ink really looks like, with picks including former NFL star Arian Foster, Handsome Squidward from SpongeBob, and MMA fighter Rampage Jackson.
Sometimes the best new R&B can be hard to find, but there are plenty of great rhythm-and-blues tunes to get into if you have the time to sift through the hundreds of newly released songs every week. So that R&B heads can focus on listening to what they really love in its true form, weâll be offering a digest of the best new R&B songs that fans of the genre should hear every Friday.
Since the last update of this weekly R&B and afrobeats column, weâve received plenty of music and news from the genreâs artists. Beyonce dropped her long-awaited Renaissance album, complete with 16 songs and features from Grace Jones, Tems, and Beam, and followed it up with an EP of âBreak My Soulâ remixes. The Weeknd recruited Summer Walker for a remix of âBest Friendsâ while John Legend and Saweetie danced the night away on âAll She Wanna Do,â which comes from the latterâs upcoming album Legend. Elsewhere, Kaytranada and Anderson .Paak joined forces for âTwin Flame.â
Here are some more on the new music front that you should check out:
Duckwrth & Syd â âCe Soirâ
Duckwrth has always given listeners room to dance and be their freest and truest selves. That trend continues with âCe Soirâ alongside Syd. The song, whose title translates to âtonightâ in French, is a sex-positive track that beams with anticipation of intimacy at nightfall. âCe Soirâ is the first single from Duckwrthâs upcoming EP, Chrome Bull, which arrives on August 26.
Vedo & OG Parker â While You Wait
After setting things up with a pair of singles, âFace Downâ and âCome First,â Vedo and OG Parker have unveiled their new project, While You Wait. Itâs a quick strike effort with just eight songs to its name, but each is sultry, passionate, and focused on the most intimate aspects of love. While You Wait also features Baby Tate and Dusty Locane.
Black Party â Hummingbird
Itâs been three years since we were introduced to an Endless Summer, but Black Party is finally back with a new body of work. Hummingbird arrives with 12 songs, just two more than Endless Summer, and it also presents appearances from Gwen Bunn, Kari Faux, DMP Jere, Zoe Mazah, Saba, Jean Deaux, and Childish Gambino. Altogether, the project is inspired by Black Partyâs frequent and unique interactions with a hummingbird who only visited his studio as music played throughout the projectâs creative process.
They. â âLonelyâ Feat. Bino Rideaux
Dante Jones and Drew Love, better known as They., are closer than ever to releasing their third album. The follow-up to The Amanda Tape has been preceded by enticing singles like âBlĂŒ Moonâ and âComfortableâ with Fana Hues, and now, they follow those records up with âLonelyâ with Bino Rideaux. The track is for the cool-minded folks of the world as it presents a nonchalant and chill approach from the duo that invites a woman of their liking to spend some time with them.
Leon Thomas & Ty Dolla Sign â âLove Jonesâ
Prior to this year, Leon Thomas helped craft numerous records by the likes of Drake, Ariana Grande, Rick Ross, and many more. In 2022, Leon shifted things back to his own career as he prepares to release his first project since 2018âs Genesis. The journey towards that continues with the sultry and rich âLove Jonesâ with Ty Dolla Sign. The record is undeniably seductive as the pair displays their admiration for their special someone.
Fireboy DML â Playboy
After releasing his impressive second project Apollo in 2020, Fireboy DML reached new heights in 2021 thanks to his single, âPeru.â The record, which was later remixed by Ed Sheeran, was one of afrobeatsâ most played records summer last summer. This year, Fireboy DML returns with his third project thanks to Playboy. Through 14 songs, Fireboy DMLâs soft vocals glide over rhythmic production with features from Asake, Euro, Shenseea, Chris Brown, Rema, and Ed Sheeran.
Felivand â Ties
Australian singer Felivand takes her official step into the spotlight with her debut project Ties. Through 12 songs, her soothing vocals arrive as a perfect companion for the projectâs lush and breezy production. She gets vulnerable and confessional on the project but doesnât allow herself to be lost in comfortable through the albumâs warm atmosphere.
Jordan Hawkins â âSuper Powerâ
With all the talk about R&B life, or lack thereof, one could go on and on about the genreâs undeniable bright spots. One of those comes with Jordan Hawkins who released his excellent Heart Wonât Stop EP last year, a project spotlighted by the phenomenal âRisky.â Hawkins seems prepared to start his next chapter and it begins with the soaring âSuper Power,â a record absolutely worth your time and attention.
Rileyy Lanez â âBlessingsâ
Following a fairly quiet 2021 year, Bronx singer Rileyy Lanez is back to get things rolling this year. She returns with âBlessings,â which thumping and emotional record that she uses to detail a bad relationship she experienced. Despite doing her best and bringing nothing but âblessingsâ to the table, Rileyy says she was only put through hell in the relationship, forcin her to cut off contact.
Mr Eazi â âPersonal Babyâ
Mr Eazi is looking to make another step forward in afrobeats, a genre he contributed heavily to during the genreâs modern-day rise in the mid-2010s. His new single âPersonal Babyâ reimagines the Banku sound he helped trademark with songs like âSkin Tightâ and âLeg Over.â Now, with his currently-untitled debut album on the way, âPersonal Babyâ offers another thing to anticipate with the upcoming project that is also supported by his other 2022 single, âLegalize.â
Bella Shmurda â âNew Born Fellaâ
After 2021âs High Tension 2.0 with Dangbana Republik, afrobeats singer Bella Shmurda has been hard at work in 2022. With singles like âMany Thingsâ and âFvck Offâ under his belt, Bella adds another record to his 2022 discography with âNew Born Fella.â The track is a boastful record that sees Bella crown himself as the ânew born fella.â If he continues to put out strong records, that title will become more and more attached to his name.

Earlier this week, Ashton Kutcher appeared on an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge where he went into detail about a rare but serious disorder that kept him from walking, hearing, and seeing.
Kutcher revealed that two years ago, he had a âweird, super rare form of vasculitis,â which involves the inflammation of the blood vessels. The disorder, he explained to Grylls, âknocked out my vision, and knocked out my hearing, and knocked out all my equilibrium.â He said, âIt took me like a year to build it all back up. You donât really appreciate it till itâs gone, until you go, âI donât know if Iâm ever going to see again. I donât know if Iâm ever going to be able to hear again. I donât know if Iâm ever going to be able to walk again.’â
Obviously, Kutcher was able to learn how to walk and see again, which gave him a new lease on life. He added that heâs âlucky to be aliveâ after the incident.
The actor, who will soon return to the screen in the That â70s Show spinoff, took to Twitter to clear up any misconceptions about his disorder: âBefore there are a bunch of rumors/ chatter/ whatever out there. Yes, I had a rare vasculitis episode 3yrs ago. (Autoimmune flair up) I had some impairments hear, vision, balance issues right after. I fully recovered. All good. Moving on. See you at the 2022 NY Marathon w/Thorn.â
Before there are a bunch of rumors/ chatter/ whatever out there. Yes, I had a rare vasculitis episode 3yrs ago. (Autoimmune flair up) I had some impairments hear, vision, balance issues right after. I fully recovered. All good. Moving on. See you at the 2022 NY Marathon w/Thorn
Even though Kutcher experienced side effects, he has since fully recovered and will even run in the New York Marathon later this year, which is very impressive for anyone, let alone someone who was struggling to walk a few years ago. Good luck to Ashton, both on the marathon and the upcoming That â90s Show.
Single barrel bourbon whiskey is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. The style of bourbon is all about the refinement found in a single barrel of whiskey. Finding depth, complexity, and drinkability in a single barrel is kind of a miracle, as the vast majority of whiskey barrels are blended, into various expressions from âsmall batchâ to âbarrel proofâ to âlimited editions.â
The idea that a single barrel of whiskey can hit a perfect flavor profile to be bottled on its own is exceedingly rare, especially when you get into big age statements where a million factors can alter the booze in ways that force it to be blended out. Of course, that makes it even more magical when it happens. All of this is to say, itâs time for a single barrel bourbon blind tasting.
For this tasting, I pulled some brand new single barrel bourbons and put them up against some stone-cold classics. For the most part, Iâve kept this blind tasting in the mid-range of $25 to $75 per bottle. But I couldnât help myself, so I threw in a ridiculous bottle just to see if itâd really dominate (and to make it more fun for me).
Our lineup today is:
Evan Williams Single Barrel
Bakerâs Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel 7 Years Minimum
This has a really nice nose full of woody cherry, salted caramel with a tart apple edge, and a soft leatheriness. The palate feels and tastes âclassicâ with notes of wintry spices (eggnog especially) with a lush creaminess supported by soft vanilla, a hint of orange zest, and plenty of spicy cherry tobacco. The end is supple with a hint of tart apple tobacco with a light caramel candy finish.
This isnât crazy good but itâs damn fine.
Taste 2
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
A hint of cellar funkiness is countered by a soft leather with dashes of sourdough rye crust, dry cornmeal, and a hint of anise next to a creamy cherry/vanilla base on the nose. The palate leans into the vanilla with a dusting of cinnamon and allspice (maybe some cardamon too) next to creamy eggnog with a thin line of dried dill and fennel. The end leans woody with soft winter spices and an echo of sour candy spiked with chili pepper.
This felt a little like rye masquerading as a bourbon thanks to that herbal not in the middle and that funk on the nose. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid sipper.
Taste 3
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
The nose draws you in with classic vibes from top to bottom thanks to rich vanilla smoothness, wintry spices, a hint of cedar, and a mix of sour cherry and tart apple. The palate stays very classic with old boot leather next to dry cedar bark, a layer of marzipan, and a distant hint of orange blossom with a whisper of honey. The end finishes with a good hint of spiced cherry tobacco and old leather next to mild nuttiness.
This is just f*cking great.
Taste 4
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
The nose on this meanders from sheet cake with vanilla frosting toward chili-laced dark chocolate ice cream to old leather gloves with a hint of potting soil, soft cedar planks, and a twinge of an orange creamsicle. The taste balances a lemon meringue pie with silky cream soda, red peppercorns, and thick toffee sauce with plenty of brown butter. The end has a bit of woody spice next to spiced cherry syrup, a crack of black pepper, and crumb more of that cake from the nose with a counter of those old leather gardening gloves finishing off the taste.
This is a winner right here.
Taste 5
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
The nose opens with a slice of cherry pie with a vanilla sauce, some apple tobacco, and a good snifter full of Necco Wafer. The palate leans into tart red berries with a Cherry Coke mixed with a Yoo-Hoo vibe next to apple-cider-soaked oak staves with a whisper of smoky old leather tobacco pouches. The chalky wafer comes back at the end with a bit of black licorice countered by sweet/spicy cherry tobacco and a dry firewood finish.
This is a bit all over the place â and definitely a TN whiskey (thanks to that chalkiness). I like it but canât place it after the last two killer pours.
Taste 6
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
This opens very tannic-y (and old) with a mix of pitchy firewood, old honey barrels, dried cranberry, nutmeg, old vanilla husks, cornmeal pancake batter, and a hint of chili-laced tobacco. The taste is bold with a hot spice mix of cinnamon and dried anchos thatâs tempered by lush vanilla and creamy dark chocolate with a hint of sweet cherry and old wicker rounding things out. The end is woody and full of potting soil with a hint of old chewing tobacco next to orchard wood.
This is very obviously the King of Kentucky as the age is unmistakable here. The thing is, itâs not as easy-going or inviting as some of the other bottles on the list. Iâm going to have to think about where to put this.
Taste 7
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
This opens with a mix of cotton candy next to buttered popcorn with plenty of vanilla, cherry pie, caramel, and old leather rounding out the nose. The palate hints at cinnamon sticks and orange oils as creamy eggnog with plenty of nutmeg lead to Almond Joy and sweetgrass with a toffee underbelly. The end leans into the dark chocolate with a nutty edge while dried tart berries and sweet wood round out the finish.
This is deep and easy to drink. It also feels pretty classic. This is a good one.
Taste 8
Zach Johnston
Tasting Notes:
The nose is a little thin but does come with vanilla, caramel corn balls, and a good dose of spiced cherry pie. The palate largely follows the same path while layering in floral honey, orange zest, and mild cherry tobacco with a leather edge. The end is a little thin but has plenty of wintry spices, caramel, and cherry that lead to a lingering sense of cherry tobacco in an old cedar box.
This was pretty good but the lightest sip of the bunch by a fair bit.
Each of these Jim Beam bottlings is pulled from single barrels that hit just the right spot of taste, texture, and drinkability, according to the master distillers at Beam. That means this juice is pulled from less than 1% of all barrels in Beamâs warehouses, making this a very special bottle at a bafflingly affordable price.
Bottom Line:
This is a pretty solid whiskey and itâs in last place â there are some killers on this list, folks. I like this as an easy everyday sipper on a rock or two. Itâs also a great cocktail base, especially for a simple old fashioned.
7. George Dickel Tennessee Single Barrel Whisky 15 Years â Taste 5
The whiskey showcases Dickelâs vast warehouses and the gems they have hidden deep on those ricks. This is a very old whiskey, all things considered. The juice is from single barrels â aged 15 years or more â and the proof varies accordingly (sometimes itâs cut with water, too).
Bottom Line:
This feels like the biggest outlier thanks to that clear Tennessee whiskey vibe. Overall, this is still a solid pour of whiskey at an outrageously affordable price (relative to the cost of double-digit aged single barrels on the market these days).
6. Bakerâs Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel 7 Years Minimum â Taste 2
Bakerâs is pulled from single barrels in specific warehouses and ricks across the Beam facility in Clermont, Kentucky. The juice is always at least seven years old. In this case, it was aged eight years and one month before bottling as-is.
Bottom Line:
This is another outlier. The taste is a bit all over the place but does work. I tend to use this more for unique cocktails (Sazerac is a good choice).
This is Heaven Hillâs hand-selected single barrel Evan Williams expression. The juice is from a single barrel, labeled with its distillation year, proofed just above 86, and bottled as is.
Bottom Line:
This is always a pleasant surprise. Itâs also amazingly affordable for a single barrel whiskey. I tend to use this for great cocktails more than anything else though.
4. King of Kentucky Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Single Barrel (5th Edition) â Taste 6
This yearâs King of Kentucky is a 15-year-old bourbon made from a mash of 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley. The spirit â made at the Brown-Forman Distillery in West Louisville (Shively) â went into the barrel on December 18, 2009, at 125% entry-proof. After 15 long years, only about 35% of the whiskey was left in the barrel. 43 single barrels were then chosen for this release and individually bottled as-is, yielding about 3,500 bottles of King of Kentucky.
Bottom Line:
This was a wood and spice bomb compared to the other whiskeys on this list. I would also argue this is the most âacquired tasteâ whiskey on this list, hence it ended up right in the middle. Maybe itâs for you. Maybe itâs not. Read the tasting notes again to decide before you pay the big bucks for it (or try it at a high-end whiskey bar).
3. Nashville Barrel Company Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey 5 Years Old â Taste 7
Nashville Barrel Co. is doing some of the best work in the bottling game, full stop. Theyâre sourcing incredible barrels (a lot from MGP) and bottling them as-is without any cutting, filtering, or fussing â they let the whiskey speak for itself and itâs kind of magical. This expression tends to be five to eight-year-old barrels that will vary slightly in the flavor profile while always leaning into bold and distinct flavors.
Bottom Line:
This is the âjust deliciousâ part of the ranking. These top three are all classic yet deep and rewarding sips. This was a little warmer, so itâs third instead of second of first, but thatâs splitting the thinnest of hairs.
2. Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel â Taste 3
Jimmy Russell hand selects eight to nine-year-old barrels from his warehouses for their individual taste and quality. Those barrels are then cut down ever-so-slightly to 101 proof and bottled with their barrel number and warehouse location.
Bottom Line:
Seriously, the top three are pretty much interchangeable. That said, this was that tiny bit more refined with a tad less heat that the NBC bottle above. Some would call it âsmootherâ and I would tend to agree.
These single barrel releases from Huber Wineryâs Starlight Distillery are starting to light up the craft bourbon scene. The Indiana juice is real craft from a family tradition going back to the mid-1800s on the same farm (this isnât MGP). Depending on the barrel, the mash here is a unique one with 58% corn, 27% rye, and 15% malted barley. That whiskey is aged for at least four years before itâs considered ready for single barrel bottling as-is.
Bottom Line:
This was the best bottle of the day. It has that perfect balance of warmth, lushness, and classic bourbon vibes. Itâs super easy to drink while offering a great palate that takes you on a journey. This is a winner.
Part 3: Final Thoughts
Zach Johnston
Well, there you go, the most expensive and elite bottle didnât win. In fact, it didnât really come close. The wild thing is, I loved that King of Kentucky pour on its own when I first tasted it. But when perched next to seven other pours, different â read: bigger â flavor profiles get highlighted on the palate. And thatâs the big problem with blind taste tests, the subtleties get lost in favor of the big notes that differentiate pour after pour. It is what it is.
Overall, the top three picks on this list are all bottles you should be drinking. Theyâre stellar whiskeys on their own or in a blind taste test. Still, if you do buy only one bottle, make it that Starlight Bourbon â itâs a truly great bottle of whiskey.
To the surprise of no one, Kanye West reveled in the news that Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson broke up and declared âSkete Davidson Dead At Age 28â in an Instagram post celebrating the momentous occasion. Despite Kardashian demanding that Kanye take the post down, the rapper refused as heâs clearly not done with his long-simmering feud with Davidson.
At this point, youâd assume that the King of Staten Island star would be used to Kanyeâs antics by now. Heâs cracked jokes about it on SNL, during a Netflix special, and he reportedly thought Kanyeâs video for âEasyâ where a claymation version of Davidson gets kidnapped and basically murdered was âhysterical.â
However, privately, Davidson has not been so quick to joke away the situation, and he reportedly sought trauma therapy thanks to Kanyeâs non-stop harassment putting a target on the young comedianâs back. Via PEOPLE:
Beginning in April of this year, the Saturday Night Live alum, 28, âhas been in trauma therapy in large partâ due to threatening posts that West, 45, has posted numerous times on social media while Davidson was dating the rapperâs ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
âThe attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and heâs had to seek out help,â the insider says.
Despite Kanyeâs toll on his mental health, Davidson has âno regretsâ about his whirlwind romance with Kardashian and âwants it to be made very clear that sheâs been nothing but supportive of him throughout their relationship.â
At this point, it feels more like public record than personal opinion to state that Alex Jones is not the worldâs most likable man. Or the most empathetic. (Though if heâs really looking for a superlative, Most Shirtless Conspiracy Theorist is certainly on the table.) And chances are that if you were Mrs. Alex Jones (shudder to think), youâre probably not going to rank him too high in the thoughtfulness department, either â especially if you only just learned that he texted an âintimate photoâ of you to his nutty pal Roger Stone.
Just last week, almost 10 years after the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the InfoWars host lost his long-waged war against the parents of that dayâs victims and has been ordered to pay them nearly $50 million in an ongoing defamation case. A large part of this was thanks to Jonesâ lawyers committing what might be the most idiotic accident in all of legal history: sending two yearsâ worth of texts and personal communications to a Sandy Hook parentsâ lawyers.
While Tucker Carlson is reportedly sh*tting his pants over what those texts might reveal about his daily texts with Jones, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook parents has confirmed that one of the items found on Jonesâ phone was an âintimate photoâ of Jonesâ wife, Erika Wulff Jones, which Alex texted to Stone.
On Monday, as Mediaite reports, Mark Bankstonâthe lawyer to whom Jonesâ team accidentally sent the private communicationsâconfirmed that an âintimate photoâ of Wulff Jones were among the details they received. As Bankston explained:
Iâm a little concerned about it because that intimate photo was sent to Roger Stone, and I donât know if that was consensual. And if it wasnât consensual, and Mrs. Wulff Jones should know about that. And there might be something that needs to be done about that. Then again, it could be totally consensual. But when I see that â and I donât see any indication that it was â Iâm concerned something might not be on the up and up with that. There are certainly laws in certain states about that.
Sandy Hook familiesâ lawyer confirms that a naked photo of Alex Jonesâs wife was on his phone, but adds that Alex sent that naked photo of his wife to Roger Stone. pic.twitter.com/LfKnQVXPMh
Jones himself talked about the matter on InfoWas over the past weekend, explaining: âThere was a photo I sent my wife of her naked. Ok, they got that. So, my wife looks pretty good. The point is, there is one naked picture of my wife in there, so thatâs what they got! No dick pics, no nothing,â he said.
The Weeknd had a handful of collaborators on his latest album, Dawn FM, but perhaps the most important of them all was Jim Carrey, who does voice acting at various points throughout the project and helps move the narrative forward. While he ended up being a pivotal part of Dawn FM, Carrey says he initially turned down The Weekndâs request to get on board.
âHeâs an incredible guy, an incredible artist, and a lovely person, and I feel very lucky to be his friend. He put it to me that he was doing this thing that was the radio station in purgatory, and I was like, âI love you, but I donât want to do any work.â And he said, âYou know, you can just do it into your iPhone.â Like, that itâs broadcast quality.
And then I started waking up in the middle of the night, which is what happens with me: I wake in the middle of the night and I start spitting bars [laughs] of all things, for godâs sake.
And to have our lives comes full-circle, because The Mask was the very first movie he ever saw and kind of inspired him to want to be in this thing, and boy, did he ever get in this thing.â
Only a select few directors have won the Palme dâOr, the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival, more than once. The prestigious list of filmmakers includes Francis Ford Coppola for The Conversation and Apocalypse Now; Michael Haneke for The White Ribbon and Amour; and Ruben Ăstlund, who won in 2017 for the art world satire The Square and again earlier this year for Triangle of Sadness.
Described as a âwickedly funnyâ exploration of âthe tawdry relationship between power and beauty,â Triangle of Sadness is about a âcelebrity model couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), who are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival,â according to the official plot description from distributor Neon.
Ăstlund credited his wife for the inspiration for Triangle of Sadness. âSheâs a fashion photographer. When I met her, I just wanted to hear everything about her work and the fashion industry and to get an insiderâs perspective of that industry. I had an outsiderâs perspective and thought that the world was very cynical. She started telling me interesting facts and stories about that world. And I got very interested in looking at beauty as a currency,â he explained to the Hollywood Reporter.
You can watch the trailer above, because thereâs never a bad time for a movie about rich people being the worst.
In just a few days, Black Thought & Danger Mouseâs collaborative album Cheat Codes comes out, and they couldnât resist giving fans just one more preview of whatâs to come. After dropping videos for âNo Gold Teeth,â âBecauseâ with Joey Badass and Russ, and âAquamarine,â the rapper-producer duo has unleashed one final posse cut on the world featuring the truly jaw-dropping lineup of Tariq, ASAP Rocky, and Run The Jewels. Itâs called âStrangers,â and you can check it out above.
Featuring a signature Danger Mouse beat with a murky, breakbeat-laden soul loop, âStrangersâ finds the four MCs spitting multisyllabic verses with no hook, simply beating listeners over the head with bars until thereâs nothing left to do but shrug and say, âThose boys are RAPPINâ rappinâ.â Let the debate about whoâs got the best verse begin.
In addition to the aforementioned names, Cheat Codes will also feature rap titans such as Conway The Machine, Raekwon The Chef, and the late, great MF DOOM, with whom Danger Mouse rose to prominence in the early 2000s with the Adult Swim-backed collab project The Mouse And The Mask as Danger Doom. The album is dropping on Friday, 8/12 via BMG.
Listen to Black Thought & Danger Mouseâs âStrangersâ featuring ASAP Rocky, El-P, and Killer Mike above.
