Saweetie will always be the iciest rapper. In a new interview, she’s opening up about some of the not-so-hot moments of her last few years as she prepares a new era of music.

In a new cover story with Allure Thursday, the “Richtivities” rap star shared details about why she hasn’t dropped her long-teased Pretty Bitch Music album — or any album, for that matter.

“I just feel like nobody was caring about my music,” Saweetie said, referring to the people surrounding her. “To me, music is sacred. It’s coming from your spirit.

On her latest single “Richtivities,” Saweetie flexes the perks of having both a bank card and a face card that never declines.

“Money talk bank account motor mouth/Private jets first class not a flex/Post a pic shut down the entire net/Not impressed what competition I’m the best/I confess pretty bitches run the west,” the rapper spits on the second verse.

“Richtivities” features a sample of Willie Hutch’s 1975 single “Love Me Back,” with production from J White Did It. It marks Saweetie’s first solo single of the year,...

Netflix dropped the soundtrack for its hit limited thriller series “Beef.”

The 10-episode miniseries, which debuted on Netflix April 6, carries a name that completely conveys its plot. “Beef” centers on two strangers — a failing contractor named Danny Cho (Steven Yeun), and an unsatisfied entrepreneur named Amy Lau (Ali Wong) — whose worlds literally collide after they get into a road rage incident. When things escalate, the feud brings out their innermost darkest sides.

The cast includes Wong, Yeun, Young Mazino, David Choe, Mia Serafino, Ashley Park, Justin H. Min, Joseph Lee and Andrew Santino.

The A24-produced thriller was created by Lee Sung Jin, and executive produced by Jake Schreier, Ravi Nandan and Alli Reich. Series leads Wong and Yeun also serve as executive producers.

“Beef’s” original Score is by Bobby Krlic, and the soundtrack includes songs by prominent artists Christina Aguilera, Hoobstank and even tracks from Yeun and some of the cast.

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Beef.The Beef soundtrack is one of the most memorable aspects of the show. It mostly features alternative rock songs that were mainstream hits in the '90s and 2000s, with some other indie and pop selections from those eras thrown in as well. While the show takes place in modern times, the deliberate music choices in Beef contribute to its overall theme of repressed frustration, angst, and dissatisfaction. Many of the songs heard throughout Beef season 1 represent an era of popular music that combined catchy guitar riffs with singable lyrics.

The music in Beef taps into a time when both Danny and Amy would have been kids, adolescents, or college-aged young adults. It collectively represents some of the nostalgic and comforting songs from their formative years, which suggests that these two 90s kids both found difficulties adjusting to life in the 2020s. Modern...

Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40, and Too hort also represent a wave of old-school rappers sustaining recording careers well into their 50s, long after the hits have subsided, and fans have moved on to fresher trends. (Tellingly, they snark about “Ig” and TikTok.) New work by first-wave golden-age heroes...
