Kendrick Lamar’s monumental career and his cultural impact will soon be a topic of discussion and study at Temple University.

A course titled, “Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of M.A.A.D City,” will be available to all students during the Fall 2025 semester, with Timothy Welbeck, a professor for the Department of Africology and African American Studies and the Director for the Center for Anti-Racism at Temple University, at the helm.

Sweet dreams, Brian Wilson. The world is already a lonelier place without him, after the news of his death on Wednesday, the week before his 83rd birthday. For the ultimate poet of summer, it’s fitting that he left the planet in June, right where he came in — the California boy who sang “The Lonely Sea,” the tortured genius who wrote one of the most mournful melodies imaginable and called it “The Warmth of the Sun,” the most beloved of American songwriters. Brian spent his life turning his pain and...

If you’ve ever tuned into WWE and found yourself laughing mid-match, chances are R-Truth was involved. The man is a walking punchline, and in the best way possible. But don’t let the endless 24/7 title shenanigans or his random backstage antics fool you. Ron Killings is more than just a comedic genius in spandex. He’s a veteran, a hustler, and low-key one of the smartest men in the wrestling business.

With a career that spans over two decades, multiple wrestling promotions, charting rap singles, and some unforgettable meme-worthy moments (remember when he entered the Royal Rumble thinking it was Money in the Bank?), R-Truth has quietly built a solid fortune without ever needing to chase main-event status. He’s proof that you don’t need to be the face of the company to secure the bag and keep the fans chanting your name.

In 2025, R-Truth made a triumphant return to WWE,...

Tupac’s story will be told in a new biography — bestselling sports writer Jeff Pearlman announced Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur in April, with the book set to hit shelves in October.

Tupac’s story has been told before, but “Despite a multitude of books, documentaries, and even a feature film, much about Tupac’s story remains shrouded and misunderstood,” explains the publisher’s notes.

FBI: Most Wanted first hit screens in 2020 as the first spin-off of Dick Wolf’s hit series FBI. It was created by René Balcer and followed the story of the FBI’s Fugitive Task Force as they tracked down America’s most dangerous criminals. Apart from the interesting storyline, the show also featured a stunning cast, including Julian McMahon, Kellan Lutz, Roxy Sternberg, and Shantel VanSanten, among others.

Over six seasons, FBI: Most Wanted managed to build a loyal fanbase with its high-stakes action and emotional depth. So, because of this, fans were sure that a Season 7 would also be on the horizon.

However, things took a turn for the worse when CBS announced in March 2025 that the seventh season was canceled. So, why did the network cancel a well-performing show? Let’s dive into the real reasons behind its end.

Here’s why CBS canceled FBI: Most Wanted Season...

Ruby Ibarra, a Filipino-American rapper from the Bay Area known for her potent storytelling, made her debut on NPR’s Tiny Desk this week.

Chosen among 7,500 entries from independent artists across the country, Ibarra secured the top spot for the series’ annual contest with her entry track, “Bakunawa,” which released last fall. With her hair slicked back into a ponytail and wearing an “I Love Pinays” tee for the moment, Ibarra performed alongside her all-Filipino band and together, they delivered a heavy-hitting trio of tracks buoyed by shimmering instrumentals.

It was a moment Ibarra seized.

Ralph McDaniels popularized the shout-out.

His show Video Music Box debuted in 1983 on the New York television station Wnyc-tv and airs to this day on Wnye-TV, making it the longest-running music video show ever. It was also the first to air hip-hop music videos on television. “Nobody ever said that except me when I said it on TV,” McDaniels says of the on-air shout-out. “People were like, ‘How’s that possible?’ I’m like, ‘Because that was a hip-hop term, and I just said it on TV.’”

The legendary VJ,...

Since its beginning in 1975, “Saturday Night Live” made a point of showcasing as many music superstars and rising talents as possible made it inside Studio 8H.

The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Tupac, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Jack White, Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz, Tom Waits, Coldplay, Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, Mary J. Blige, Donald Glover, U2, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Billy Joel, No Doubt, Tom Petty, Elton John, Olivia Rodrigo, Bruno Mars and Prince are just a few of the artists who have appeared on the show. And that’s why they’re all also seen at some point in the three-hour music doc “Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years of SNL Music.”

“The Roots” superstar Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, who in recent years has also become a prolific and award-winning documentarian, was the co-director mastermind behind the three-hour documentary. The special will perhaps be best remembered for an epic intro montage mixing in performances...

Hip-hop has been around for decades. It has had a huge influence on shaping culture and fashion and has become a powerful voice for telling stories. The genre has been used by minorities for ages to talk about hard-hitting social topics like discrimination and injustice.

Although hip-hop has been around for a long time, giving listeners gems like Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, and Eazy-e, who defined the way we know hip-hop today, it had a hard time reaching a larger audience due to the lack of internet access. Unlike today, where the ease of streaming songs has skyrocketed hip-hop’s prominence, this means more people have started to listen to music and have garnered interest in the lives of their favorite artists.

And what better way to tell a story about someone than to make a movie about them? So let’s look at some films...

Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter VI, the next installment in his canonical series, will arrive on June 6. He was still finalizing the project when he played Rolling Stone a dozen or so songs in Atlanta for his new cover story. Wayne says that a key focus of the project was collaboration. “If there’s one thing about this album that’s different, it’s me approaching it like, ‘Man, what would I sound like on something with such and such,’” he tells us.

That mentality shines through in the array...

It’s officially been five decades since Monty Python and the Holy Grail first delighted audiences and boosted the coconut shell industry. To celebrate the iconic 1975 comedy’s 50th anniversary, the BBC recently chatted with every surviving member of Monty Python, minus John Cleese and Eric Idle, who were presumably too busy rage-tweeting about the U.S. president and/or each other.

But just because they’re available for interviews doesn’t mean that fans should be expecting another Python reunion any time soon, as one member made clear.

Michael Palin noted that The Holy Grail very nearly didn’t happen because not everyone in the group was into the idea of following up Monty Python’s Flying Circus with a movie. “It was by no means unanimous that we should do a film after the television series,” Palin recalled, pointing out that two of the Pythons were busy working on their own TV projects,...

Among the headliners who’ve taken the main stage multiple times are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Cure, Bjork, Rage Against the Machine and, the all-time leader, Radiohead.

Other major acts to front the event include Beyoncé, Prince, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, Coldplay, Eminem and Roger Waters.

Jada Pinkett Smith has kept up a steady flow of controversies for the last few years. Be it the strange anecdotes in interviews, exposing shocking scandals, or her explosive memoir, the actress has made it a mission to continue making headlines at all costs.

Her tumultuous marriage with Will Smith and its consequences not only on themselves but also on others have obviously been a recurring theme. As such, it is interesting that they stayed together through it all, even to date.

Papa Roach continues to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its breakthrough album, Infest, with a North American tour that hit Los Angeles this weekend.

As part of its Rise of the Roach tour, the venerable rock band performed at the Kia Forum in the L.A. area on Friday, with stalwart punk outfits Rise Against and Underoath as support. In honor of Infest’s release on April 25, 2000, Papa Roach’s set included such tracks from that album as “Broken Home” and lead single “Last Resort,” which has become a signature tune for the band and was the show’s final number. The group also played singles “Scars,” “…To Be Loved” and recent release “Even If It Kills Me.”

“Some people say that everybody in L.A. is jaded,” frontman Jacoby Shaddix told the crowd from the stage. “I don’t fucking believe it. I see you got soul in this motherfucker.

Anthony Mackie is widely known for playing Sam Wilson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and his recent release, Captain America: Brave New World, became the third highest-grossing film of 2025. Even though the movie has received mixed reviews, the audience and the critics have appreciated Mackie’s acting as Captain America.

Mackie made his on-screen debut with 8 Mile in 2002 alongside Eminem. It was a critical and commercial success, earning Eminem an Academy Award for Best Original Song for Lose Yourself. The Marvel actor, in his recent interview, opened up about working with one of the greatest rappers in the industry.

When Tim Roth was first approached to co-star inGridlock’d(1997), he was hesitant about working with Tupac Shakur.

According to THR, in a recent discussion at Luxembourg City Film Fest, Roth revealed the journey that ultimately led to him acting alongside legendary music and film icon Tupac. The film, a crime comedy directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall, follows two heroin addicts, Spoon (Tupac) and Stretch (Roth), as they navigate a bureaucratic nightmare while trying to enter rehab. Westworld actress Melanie Thandiwe Newton also starred in the film. Initially, Laurence Fishburne was set to star in the film, and Roth was eager to work with him. But after Fishburne dropped out, Roth was informed that a rapper would be taking his place—an idea he immediately rejected.

"But he dropped out, and he was really a big part of the reason why I wanted to do it," Roth recalled. "So then the...

There are many Marvel fans who have forgotten that, before becoming Captain America, Anthony Mackie once took on a very different kind of battle on screen – against Eminem in the Oscar-winning drama 8 Mile. Taking part in a rap battle with one of the greatest rap-stars of all-time can be a daunting task, but what made the scene ever more notable was that Eminem ensured that it included a very calculated and personal “attack” on Mackie himself.

In the 2002 drama, Mackie played Clarence, aka Papa Doc, the leader of the Free World rap group who takes on Eminem’s B-Rabbit in the movie’s climactic rap battle. What many people did not realize is that among the shots taken at Mackie’s character were not actually about the character, but some were personal shots taken at Mackie himself. However, it was not quite as malicious as it sounds. As Mackie...

Adult Swim is still viewed as one of the top curators of avant-garde, groundbreaking animated comedies, many of which wouldn’t be able to find a home anywhere else. There’s an exciting, unpredictable quality that’s present with every Adult Swim comedy that gives the audience the feeling that they’ve stumbled onto something special. Adult Swim’s programming has taken some big swings in the past few years, the likes of which have led to an exciting slate of female-driven comedies between Tuca & Bertie, Birdgirl, Teenage Euthanasia, and Yolo.

In one of Netflix’s quickest renewals for a first-year series, the streamer has picked up basketball comedy Running Point for a second season.

The news comes just a week after the show, starring Kate Hudson, was released Feb. 27 and hours after Netflix canceled drama The Recruit after two seasons. Meanwhile, fellow Netflix freshman comedy series No Good Deed is still awaiting word on its fate almost three months after its premiere.

In its debut weekend, Running Point scored 9.3 million views and ranked in the Top 10 across 83 countries.

“We are so thrilled to be able to deliver a Season 2 of Running Point to the fans of the show,” co-creator/executive producer Mindy Kaling told Tudum. “We still cannot believe the response from audiences – thank you to everyone who has watched!”

Over a 35-year musical career, Billie Joe Armstrong has often walked the empty street, but has he ever run the loaded bases?

The Green Day icon is joining the ownership group of the Oakland Ballers, the new (and as of this coming season) only professional baseball team in Northern California’s East Bay. Armstrong and legendary Oakland rapper Too $hort are climbing aboard the independent Pioneer League team ahead of the 2025 campaign, giving a celebrity boost to a club that in its first season already attracted plenty of grassroots interest.

“This is all about bringing families to a ball game,” Armstrong said in an email to The Hollywood Reporter. “After the A’s left, the town was heartbroken. The Ballers are going to bring good vibes back to Oakland and the broader East Bay.”

Playing in newly constructed Raimondi Park, the team was an object of local and media fascination...

The night has set for Hollywood’s biggest event. Several Hollywood actors, directors, and artists have walked the red carpet to celebrate the best in the film industry. However, one notable figure is definitely absent from this year’s event: Will Smith, the actor whose infamous moment at the 2022 Oscars made history for all the wrong reasons.

Smith’s ban from attending any Academy event was announced shortly after the shocking incident during the live ceremony where he slapped comedian Chris Rock. Like him, the Academy has also banned many other artists like Bill Cosby and Hervey Weinstein for the misconduct of the organization’s ethical expectations. However, what is up with the actor after the infamous incident? Will he ever join the Academy again? Let’s dig into this matter

Jada Pinkett Smith once called the late rapper Tupac her “soulmate”, a title she never gave to her actual husband, Will Smith. In fact, she doesn’t even like to call Smith her “husband” but rather her “life partner,” deeming it more appropriate.

For years, the internet has had plenty to say about this, with many questioning Smith’s role in the relationship and whether he got the short end of the stick. From memes to debates, people can’t seem to get enough of this unconventional love dynamic, Candace Owens included.

If there’s one thing every sporting event needs, it’s a strong playlist. And if you’re here, it means you’re looking for the one from “Running Point.”

Now streaming on Netflix, the series centers on Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson), who unexpectedly becomes president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team, which her family has owned for decades. She’s the first female president in franchise history, and obviously, there’s a whole lot of pressure that comes with that.

But if you’re here, you know that. What you’re looking for are the tracklists for each episode. And you can absolutely find those, below!

Episode 1 “California Love” by Tupac “That Sound” by Ohmega Watts “You Are My Love” by Kasoma (Feat. Redwood) “Love Survive” by Michael Nau “Hello” by LiTTie x The Mondays Episode 2 “Falling in Love” by Bobby Oroza “Right Here Right Now” by Teeyz...

Kate Hudson helms Running Point, the latest show from Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen as Isla Gordon, an underdog of sorts. She’s the only daughter of Jack Gordon, who had several other sons including Cam (Justin Theroux), Ness (Scott MacArthur) and their half brother Sandy (Drew Tarver).

Isla and her best friend Ali Lee (Brenda Song) are set to make waves (no pun intended) within the professional basketball franchise the Los Angeles Waves, when Isla gets promoted to president of the team. She has all sorts of upstream swimming to do in the role as her brothers doubt her capabilities and the players don’t exactly take her seriously, but she has many tricks up her sleeve, and she has been paying attention to the game since she was a little girl.

Several needle drops accompany big moments in the show, from Tupac’s “California Love” opening...

Rebellion is leaving Netflix in most regions – Picture: Netflix

Welcome to a quieter look ahead at all the Netflix Original titles scheduled to depart the streamer worldwide throughout March 2025. We’ve also got some leftover Netflix Originals that we’ve learned are leaving just before March, so we’ll touch on them, too.

We didn’t know whether to laugh or shudder when Suzanne Collins dropped a truth bomb about The Hunger Games. Turns out, the dystopian masterpiece wasn’t sparked by some grand, philosophical epiphany; it was inspired by reality TV shows. Yes, those over-the-top, drama-filled spectacles we love to binge-watch.

The connection feels pretty bizarre until you think about it, and then it’s uncomfortably spot-on.

When Suzanne Collins revealed that The Hunger Games drew inspiration from reality TV and war coverage, it felt both bizarre and eerily fitting. The dystopian tale, where a brutal government pits children against each other in televised death matches, was rooted in unsettling truths.

Collins confessed she got the idea while flipping between reality shows and war footage one night.

Kanye West, a man who once reigned supreme in the fashion world, has unveiled his latest creation: a risqué lingerie line for his struggling Yzy brand, heavily inspired by his wife, Bianca Censori.

The unveiling, predictably, was met with a chorus of groans and eye rolls. The pièce de résistance: a skimpy black thong bodysuit that barely qualifies as clothing. Critics were quick to chime in, with one Twitter user dubbing it “the Bianca Censori Covid mask,” a scathing indictment of its sheer, almost non-existent nature. “Is that a grocery bag?” another quipped, while others questioned the practicality and comfort of the design.

Live from New York, it’s Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music. The first trailer for the upcoming Questlove-directed documentary is a two-minute celebration of one of television’s most iconic stages.

In the clip, featured hosts from throughout Saturday Night Live‘s 50 seasons introduce musical guests Charli Xcx, Prince, Adele, Bob Dylan, Bad Bunny, and more.

“You don’t know what’s going to happen until 11:30 p.m.,” Dua Lipa, who has performed on the show three times including last year’s double-duty gig, says in the trailer.

The entertainment industry has been thriving on drama, ambition, and sometimes, tales that are too bizarre to be true. One such story comes from Chopper, a rapper who was tasked with fetching a cheesecake for Beyoncé.

But there’s more to the story, and it also involves Diddy, the most controversial man as of now, with multiple allegations. This cheesecake saga is unfortunately not the end of Beyoncé and Jay-Z‘s alleged involvement with Diddy.

During an interview with The Art of Dialogue, Chopper, a rapper, spoke about a seemingly straightforward errand he was given, i.e., getting a cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. But he then revealed that it was a four-hour walk to the place, and then four hours back again, a total of 8-hour journey.

It ended up being for Beyoncé!

If Peacock’s premature attempt to document the Diddy debacle is any indication of the criminal trial to come, then Sean Combs is in for a hell of a media circus.

The earliest in a series of upcoming true crime projects centering the disgraced rapper, “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” started filming shortly after Combs’ arrest on September 16, 2024. It hits streaming on Tuesday amid ongoing pretrial matters and features new interviews with several people close to the case — including Combs’ childhood friends, two accusers, a former bodyguard, opposing legal representatives, hip-hop journalists, and more — in a production otherwise notable for its editorial incoherence.

Right now, Diddy’s defense team is awaiting details on three federal charges outlined in a surprisingly short indictment from last fall. Those include sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering: a sprawling and complex claim related to an alleged criminal enterprise that...

After the successful release of Gnx, some of Kendrick Lamar’s opps are probably flipping through the How to Be More Like Kendrick for Dummies book he holds in the “Squabble Up” video. On Monday, the rapper released the follow-up video to “Not Like Us” and filled it with references to the West Coast and Compton.

The Calmatic-directed video features several homages, including one to Nate Dogg’s G-Funk Classics, Isaac Hayes’ Black Moses, 1993’s Menace II Society, and iconic TV variety series Soul Train‘s Scramble Board. Elsewhere in the video,...

Conspiracy theories, no matter how wild, have taken the internet by storm ever since the allegations against Diddy came to light. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are now caught in the crossfire, accused of allegedly teaming up with him to “terrorize” the music industry.

The more outrageous the claim, the faster it spreads online, and now Diddy’s former bodyguard’s comments are adding even more fuel to the frenzy.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Ron Smith’s Claims About Beyoncé

The world is in on the joke, with everyone thanking Beyoncé for staying on her good side, or so the meme goes. The “Thank you, Beyoncé” trend has two sides. On one hand, it’s tied to wild conspiracy theories linking her and Jay-Z to Diddy’s controversies, despite zero evidence.

Comedian Katt Williams has recently gone viral for a conversation made earlier this year. During it, he appeared to predict the downfall of mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been facing legal troubles since September. Williams has recently spoken out about the conversation. Notably, he shared why he specifically named Diddy.

Katt Williams Appeared on Club Shay Shay With Shannon Sharpe

Williams is a comedian and actor. He is known for his appearances on Wild ‘n Out and his roles on Friday After Next, My Wife and Kids, and The Boondocks.

Earlier this year, a conversation Williams had with former pro football player Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay that has recently gone viral. At the time, he predicted that the year would be filled with celebrity scandals.

Katt Williams is known for being unabashed, whether it is on stage performing his comedic acts or during interviews. The celeb particularly made headlines at the start of this year when he gave a bombshell interview to Club Shay Shay. And in a recent interview with GQ, Williams continued, making even more shocking claims.

One of his most shocking claims was that he has harbored a deeply personal vendetta against hip-hop mogul Sean P Diddy Combs, for years due to his alleged involvement with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.

Katt Williams Reveals He Has Been After Diddy for Years

The renowned comedian and actor Katt Williams is known for being unapologetically unhinged. Back at the start of this year, the actor went on to the Club Shay Shay, attacked several celebrities with his words (including Diddy), and heralded 2024 as the age of truth.

As Sean P Diddy Combs lies behind the jail cell, awaiting trial, several wild claims have been made about the now infamous rapper. From his alleged involvement in the death of his ex, Kim Porter, to his alleged involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur, these unproven allegations and rumors continue to muddle his reputation even further.

Recently, rapper Uncle Luke too joined in this drama, by calling out Diddy, along with Kanye West and Jay-Z, making some shocking allegations about their involvement in the ‘villainization of the Black community.’

As Sean P Diddy Combs’ legal troubles continue to mount, with each day bringing in a more shocking revelation, claims and rumors about him too show no signs of fading away anytime soon.

For years, celebrities have been the focus of very bizarre controversies and conspiracy theories. Theorists have dubbed Beyonc and her husband, Jay-Z, as the Queen of King of the secret society the Illuminati, while stars like Rihanna and Madonna are also on the list.

There are also conspiracy theories surrounding dead Hollywood stars. Names like Elvis Presley, Tupac, and Michael Jackson are on a long list of celebrities that many people believe are not dead at all!

Laguna Beach and The Hills star Kristin Cavallari has her own conspiracy theories as well. The former reality TV star has been adamant that Britney Spears is not the real singer people have been seeing on social media. Although her comments may sound humorous and even extreme, she further fueled those rumors when she got to text "the real" Britney.

Sean P Diddy Combs is now caught in one of the biggest controversies in the world of music and entertainment. Yet one cannot deny the influence and reach he has had in the music industry.

And Madonna is one of these handful whose contributions cannot go unnoticed.

And that’s decidedly not the case, whether in sprawling rural communities or urban cities, from Appalachian regions to rust belt towns like the one featured in this hour.

While rapper beefs are a dime a dozen these days, two of the biggest pop stars of the ‘80s and ‘90s were reportedly in a lifelong feud. Michael Jackson, who was known as the King of Pop, was reportedly feuding with his contemporary Prince during their heyday. Many instances of the two dissing each other in creative ways have come to light.

While the two had publicly denied any animosity between them at the time, Jackson reportedly wrote about Prince in a discarded chapter in his memoir where he recounted all the issues they had. Apart from rejecting Mj’s request to feature on Bad, Prince also reportedly dissed the Thriller singer in a song, mocking his appearance.

The celebrity in question was Tupac.

Rosie explained that the rapper stepped in to be her date for the 1993 Soul Train Music Awards after her actual date backed out at the last minute.

While at the event, Rosie and Tupac bumped into Madonna, who instantly felt a spark.

“She was there and she came up to me and she was like, ‘Yo, what’s up? Y’all are together?’ And I said, ‘No,’ she goes, ‘Really?’ I go, ‘Yeah,’ she goes, ‘Hook me up.

On 3 November 2024, the acclaimed music producer Quincy Jones died at 91, leaving behind a full life, a legacy, and multitudes of stories from his time in the public eye. Among those stories are included his riff with fellow musicians and producers like Tupac Shakur and P. Diddy – both of which were greatly publicized at the time.

The music icon had had his fair share of controversies and battles in his day. But even while being unapologetically outspoken and headstrong till the end, Jones also knew when to bow out of a fight.

On what was a raucous, joyous night inside the hall, the roll call at the 2024 Democratic National Convention set social media abuzz with the innovative use of a live DJ and music to introduce each state and territory.

During night two of the Chicago convention, DJ Cassidy took on the role of setting up each state and territory with short intro music, as each representative got a chance to talk up their home before declaring their delegates. The song choices ranged from expected (“Empire State of Mind” for New York, “I’m Shipping up to Boston” for Massachusetts), to some truly inspired choices (“Raise Up” by Petey Pablo for North Carolina and “The Way I Are” by Timbaland for Virginia).

“We are so honored to be your nominees,” Harris said live to the tens of thousands of Democrats in the United Center and the millions watching at home.

Though it was likely nothing in comparison to the volume of texts Drake probably received when Kendrick Lamar dropped “Euphoria,” Haley Joel Osment’s phone was blowing up that day, too. Around the five-and-a-half minute mark of the nearly seven-minute-long diss track, Lamar makes a reference to Osment’s filmography but refers to him as Joel Osteen, the pastor and televangelist.
