It’s been six years since Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh dropped their fan-favorite collaboration, Stabbed & Shot, but the wait is finally over. The duo recently announced Stabbed & Shot 2, set to drop on October 18, 2024, via BSF/TCF Records.
In the years since their first joint project, Benny and Spesh have grown significantly, cementing their places as key figures in hip-hop. Benny has had a monumental 2024, with his major label debut Everybody Can’t Go on Def Jam and two follow-up projects, Summertime Butch and Buffalo Butch, Vol. 1. The latter featured a long-awaited collaboration with Drake, showcasing Benny’s ability to balance gritty street narratives with mainstream appeal.
Meanwhile, 38 Spesh continues solidifying his position as a skilled emcee and producer, releasing Mother & Gun, a critically acclaimed project that expanded his reach.
Stabbed & Shot 2 marks a return to their roots, with Benny and Spesh declaring themselves the best tandem since Jadakiss and Styles P. They thrive under pressure, delivering a sequel that surpasses the original. The project is filled with the street storytelling and vivid lyricism that has defined their careers, with a level of chemistry between them that feels even more refined this time around.
The album features high-profile guest appearances and production from the likes of Busta Rhymes, Dave East, Harry Fraud, Daringer, and more.
With the release of lead singles “Jesus Arms” and “Brick Specials,” Benny and Spesh again prove why they are a force in hip-hop.
Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz attracted 43.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen figures reported by Bloomberg. While the debate drew a large audience, it fell short of the 2020 vice presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence, which drew 57.9 million viewers across 18 networks.
CBS News, the debate’s host, led the evening’s coverage with nearly 9.6 million viewers. It was followed by Fox News, which took the top spot among cable networks with over 7.9 million viewers. Other networks contributed to the remaining viewership, solidifying the debate as a significant political event.
Despite the high turnout, the viewership drop from 2020 suggests that interest in this year’s vice presidential matchup may not have been as intense as in the previous election cycle. The 2020 debate, featuring the historic faceoff between Vice President Harris and then-Vice President Pence, was seen as pivotal, drawing widespread attention nationwide.
Tuesday’s debate showcased the political contrast between Republican Sen. Vance and Democratic Gov. Walz, who are vying for higher national visibility as the 2024 election approaches. The discussion covered key issues such as the economy, healthcare, and foreign policy, providing voters with insight into the candidates’ visions for the future.
In a critical moment during Tuesday night’s debate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz caught Ohio Senator JD Vance off guard with a straightforward question: “Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?”
Vance, visibly uncomfortable, dodged the question and failed to give a clear answer. His attempt to pivot away from the subject has already been labeled the “moment of the night” by reporters, analysts, and pundits. The hesitation was noticeable and left Vance struggling to recover.
Watch the moment below:
Campaign data shows that undecided voters from battleground states marked this exchange as Vance’s worst moment of the debate, potentially damaging his credibility. As election misinformation continues to be a contentious issue, his inability to provide a direct response may sway voters who are seeking clarity on where candidates stand regarding the 2020 election results.
The fallout from this exchange will likely be a talking point in the coming days as the debate continues to resonate with the public.
Music superstar The Weeknd, also known as Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, is the latest celebrity to step into Call of Duty’s world, playing hooky from his day job in the new “The Replacer” commercial for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The spot marks the third installment in the fan-favorite ad series, which features The Weeknd’s “Mother-effen Starboy” persona as the focus.
In the commercial, live now on Call of Duty’s social channels, The Replacer—played by actor Peter Stormare (known for roles in Fargo and John Wick Chapter 2)—steps in for The Weeknd while the star takes a break to indulge in some gaming. The Replacer’s antics cause chaos, much to the dismay of The Weeknd’s producers and entourage.
The ad series, which debuted during Sunday football on September 29, is part of the larger promotional campaign leading up to the launch of Black Ops 6. Stormare’s character, first introduced in 2013, became a cult favorite among gamers for his comedic efforts to help them escape real-life responsibilities and return to the game.
As excitement builds for the game’s release, the return of The Replacer series, now with the added star power of The Weeknd, is poised to boost anticipation even further among Call of Duty fans.
BIG30 has unveiled the deluxe version of his album Still King, released through N Less Entertainment/Connect Music. This expanded edition features seven new tracks, including collaborations with Lil Got It and Baby Slime. These further enrich the original project, which dropped in May 2024 and included notable features from Fredo Bang and KCarbon.
Now totaling 25 songs, the deluxe album offers fans an extended listening experience infused with Memphis-rooted bars and thumping 808s, punctuated by BIG30’s signature “Blrrrd” ad-lib. This release showcases his lyrical prowess and solidifies his dominance in the trap scene.
Among the new tracks, “Slimes and Choppa Gang” featuring Lil Got It introduces a fresh dynamic, while the emotionally resonant “So Much On My Mind” reveals a more vulnerable side of BIG30, who raps, “I ain’t gonna lie, I’m tired but giving up just ain’t in me,” against a backdrop of chilling vocals.
Still King marks BIG30’s third album, following his sophomore release, Last Man Standing, which included hit tracks like “On My Mama,” “Dead Guyz,” and “Protest.” His debut project, King of Killbranch, made waves, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 chart, further establishing him as a force in the hip-hop landscape.
Trans Internet sensation Sidney Starr made headlines during her recent appearance on No Jumper with her partner, Family Matters star Darius McCrary. During the candid conversation, Starr revealed that she underwent bottom surgery, which McCrary generously funded. However, she clarified that the financial support did not come from his Family Matters earnings but rather from his earnings in the Saw franchise. The couple’s discussion highlights their close bond and underscores McCrary’s commitment to supporting Starr in her journey.
“I had the surgery,” Sidney says. “The dick is gone” “Can I have it?” Adam22 asks. “Someone paid for it. He paid for it. He paid for it with that Saw money!” she responds. “The Saw money went to cutting off your cock and balls?” Adam22 asks.
Today, revolutionary R&B trailblazer 4Batz continues his musical momentum by collaborating with Skilla Baby on the new track “So Bad.” This release comes shortly after his latest single and music video for “roll da dice,” featuring Lil Baby. In “So Bad,” 4Batz pays tribute to the extraordinary woman in his life, emphasizing her unique presence and the deep connection they share.
4Batz’s signature melodic tones blend seamlessly with Skilla Baby’s unmistakable Detroit flow, creating a fresh dynamic that energizes the track. Opening with lines like, “Let me take you shopping” and “Take you to the tropics,” 4Batz expresses his devotion to his partner and the emotional bond they share. While “roll da dice” introduced the pursuit of love, “So Bad” boldly advances the narrative with lines like, “I seen you on the story, you can be my shawty,” marking a natural progression in their relationship.
Initially teased on the artists’ Instagram accounts last week, the music video encapsulates the vibrant vibe of “So Bad.” With a nod to 90s inspiration, it features women preparing for a night out, connecting over colorful landlines. As 4Batz and Skilla Baby continue to build their artistry, “So Bad” showcases their growing chemistry and sets the stage for exciting future collaborations.
The list of the 10 highest-grossing music biopics of all-time includes Bohemian Rhapsody (#1), Straight Outta Compton (#2), Walk The Line (#4), Bob Marley: One Love (#5), I Can Only Imagine (#7), and Ray (#8). Some of those are perfectly fine films, but they’re also safe. Most music biopics are. They’re glorified Wikipedia summaries. But it appears we’re entering a new era for movies about famous artists and iconic groups that are willing to take weird risks.
When I first read about Piece By Piece, I thought it was a joke. A movie about the life and career of Pharrell Williams… told through Legos? But the more I thought about it (and once I triple-checked it was real), the more I liked the concept. For one thing, the guy who wrote and/or produced “Milkshake,” “Get Lucky,” “Happy,” “Alright,” “Hot In Herre,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and “Got Your Money,” songs so famous that I don’t even need to list the artist, absolutely deserves the biopic treatment. The Lego connection makes sense, too. Pharrell has synesthesia, which means that when he’s hearing music, he’s seeing it in color. “It’s the only way that I can identify what something sounds like,” he told NPR. “I know when something is in key because it either matches the same color or it doesn’t. Or it feels different and it doesn’t feel right.”
Piece By Piece is a playful extension of Pharrell’s unique way of perceiving the world. But why Legos, in particular? “It’s never too late for you to go pick up a Lego set and make things and be a co-creator. It’s never too late to wake up to that. It’s never too late to gain that self-awareness,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “This is my dream, for people to have that.”
If your dream is to see a movie about Robbie Williams told from the perspective of a monkey, you’re in luck!
As a kid, I was confused by the popularity of Robbie Williams. I would read about how he was a massive star in Europe, but in the United States, it was crickets. Even now, I’m only vaguely aware of a few of his songs, so Better Man normally wouldn’t be something on my radar — until I saw the trailer, which has the only acceptable use of “I know what you’re thinking” in voiceover history. He’s right: what is with the monkey? Better Man is “based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams,” per the official synopsis, but instead of Robbie being represented by, like, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, he’s portrayed by actor Jonno Davies in a mo-cap suit to look like a CGI monkey. Obviously.
So, about the monkey: why? “I asked you [Robbie] if you were an animal, how would you see yourself? In your own words, you would refer to being dragged up on stage to perform like a monkey,” director Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman) said in an interview with the singer. “I immediately thought portraying you not as we see you, but how you see yourself… I am going to see you and relate to you in a way that is going to be more engaging than yet another musical biopic.” It’s a clever creative decision, as it depicts Robbie Williams how he perceives himself, and a smart financial one, too. “Do you want to see the Robbie Williams movie?” Eh, not really. “Do you want to see the movie where that pop star is played by a monkey?” I’m buying tickets now.
Piece By Piece, Better Man, Alex Ross Perry’s experimental Pavements, and before them, Baz Luhrmann’s King of Rock and Roll fever dream Elvis, aren’t the first weird biopics. There’s Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, an experimental short about The Carpenters singer, and I’m Not There, featuring six different actors playing Bob Dylan, both from director Todd Haynes. The hilarious Weird: The Al Yankovic Story literally has the word “weird” in the title! But in a post-Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story world, which brilliantly mocked every rise-and-fall trope, it’s nice to see familiar biopics told in unfamiliar ways. The generic Back To Black‘s of the world are always going to exist, but if Piece By Piece and Better Man do well (they’re both getting solidreviews), maybe we’ll get a Nine Inch Nails Broadway-style musical. Or a Stevie Wonder pixel-art animated movie. Or a Fleetwood Mac erotic thriller. Let’s get weird.
Piece By Piece is out in theaters on October 11, followed by Better Man on December 25
Future puts on one hell of a performance on Ferg’s new single “Allure,” but some fans think that his verse has a particular target in mind with one line in particular: Gunna, who some rap fans still see as a supposed snitch after the Alford plea that helped him avoid the seemingly interminable trial against his YSL Records boss, Young Thug.
“I’m just a street n****, just rappin’, my day ones went fed / You done took a plea on my slime, won’t be surprise if you ended up dead,” Future raps. Some fans have interpreted this as a shot at Gunna, who has faced criticism from several former collaborators like Future, including Lil Baby and Lil Durk.
Fans who think Gunna and Future have beef — you know, the ones who learn about hip-hop culture on the internet instead of from real life — are overlooking a great many details, though, including that many, many, many rappers make the same generic threat in their music, and most of them don’t even know Gunna (and, if we’re being completely honest, aren’t even from the lifestyle they portray on their songs).
Gunna himself isn’t really sweating the speculation; after supposedly being removed from Future’s new album, Mixtape Pluto, Gunna denied any personal friction between the two. “It’s not personal,” he wrote on social media. “It’s just business.” Does that mean we’ll never see a sequel to “Pushin’ P” featuring the two? Listen, if Gucci Mane and Jeezy can put their differences aside — even if only temporarily — then their spiritual successors ought to be able to, as well.
The shoes maintain the classic low-top silhouette, which is perfect for both on-court performance and everyday wear. A standout detail is the white wings logo located on the heels, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. This logo symbolizes the rich history of the Air Jordan brand, connecting the sneaker to its legendary heritage. As anticipation builds for the release, sneaker enthusiasts are eager to add this must-have colorway to their collections. The Air Jordan 1 Low “Bred” promises to make a significant impact in the sneaker world with its bold and stylish design.
These sneakers have a black rubber sole paired with a fresh white midsole. The base consists of red leather, with black leather overlays. A red Nike Swoosh adorns the sides, along with black laces and a black tongue. Red Jordan branding on the tongue complements the color scheme. The heels feature the iconic Air Jordan Wings logo in white stitching, providing a classic appearance.
