Red Band Trailer for 'The Beach Bum' Looks Pretty Lit
Everything looks better through a cloud of weed smoke.
01.24.2019
In the new Red Band trailer for The Beach Bum, Matthew McConaughey stars as Moondog, a dude who lives near the beach, smokes lots of weed, and makes out with Isla Fisher.
THE BEACH BUM [Official Red Band Trailer] - In Theaters March 29, 2019 www.youtube.com
It looks really good, especially if you like writer/director Harmony Korine's previous work. It's got all his staples–neon lighting, copious drugs, and lots of skin. Seriously, did you see Matthew McConaughey's butt? That's the real Beach Bum.
As with most of Korine's work, it's hard to gauge the film's tone from the trailer. It seems like this might be his take on a stoner comedy, but he's been known to genre-bend and there's a good chance this will end up a lot darker than it seems at first glance.
The supporting cast is pretty impressive too. There's Jonah Hill, Martin Lawrence, and Zac Efron, who's done a complete career 360º since High School Musical to become one of the coolest, most exciting actors working today. Plus, as is essential for anything involving loads of weed, Snoop Dogg will be there as well.
The Beach Bum comes out on March 29th, but until then, you can get into the right mindset by emulating Moondog and smoking lots of weed too. It's pretty much legal now.

Slept On: New Underground Releases from Drakeo the Ruler, Dreezy & More
Protest music aside, there is a slew of good underground music out today
06.05.2020
An invigorating slew of protest music hit the shelves today.
Detroit-based emcee Tee Grizzley collaborated with Queen Naija and the Detroit Youth Choir to craft a melodic ballad that attempts to open up a dialogue with police. Meanwhile, alt-Jazz pioneer Terrace Martin took a different approach in his collaboration with Denzel Curry, Daylyt, G Perico, and Kamasi Washington, with "Pigs Feet" being more of an angry f*ck you than an attempt at communication.
<p>As the George Floyd protests sweep across the nation, an exciting new wave of protest music follows. But current climate aside, there once again remains a slew of underground artists who used this New Music Friday to stay on their grind and release new material. It may undoubtedly be overshadowed by the current moment, but to help shine a light on the hard-working underground of today, here are a few slept on releases that should still be on your radar.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

One of the most arresting up-and-comers in melodic trap music, JayDaYoungan has been bubbling with potential for years. His interspersion of heart-wrenching vocals with hard-hitting bars is a revitalizing take on the unique "rap-singing" coming out of the south. With <em>Baby23</em> featuring co-signs from Kevin Gates, Lil Durk, and Moneybagg Yo, the project is Jay's most structurally sound and may soon serve as his ticket to Hip-Hop's upper echelon.<br></p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

The budding trap rapper has been in and out of prison for a few years now. While acquitted on charges of murder and conspiracy to murder in 2016, he is back behind bars now awaiting trial on charges of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle. That hasn't stopped him from crafting a compelling album, with the gargled vocals from his prison pay-phone almost adding a splash of lo-fi. More importantly, <em>Thank You for Using GTL</em> reasserts Drakeo's power on the mic. Even a looming 25-to-life charge can't stress Drakeo out enough to stop him from curating braggadocious trap music. <em>Thank You for Using GTL</em> is the most unique project to come out today.<br></p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

He teeters between singing and rapping with such a distinct vibrato; it's hard to notice when he switches it up. On <em>Sleepy Hallow Presents: Sleepy Hallow for President</em>, the underground rapper aims to pave his own lane in the overstuffed NY hip-hop landscape. While Brooklyn drill has consumed the borough, Sleepy Hallow demonstrates his versatility and dabbles in the artform with BK Drill veteran Fivio Foreign. He then quickly switches to moody, melodic trap music on "Nauseous" and "6 am in New York." He's a unique artist with an unprecedented amount of talent that shouldn't be overlooked.<br></p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

He had just started promoting his debut tape, <em>Different Time</em>, which released today, and was starting to make major waves in New York. It's heartbreaking now to hear the lost potential. His gargled vocals echo the grunge of Pop Smoke but with a slightly looser swagger. He was truly on the verge of massive success.<br></p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

On her latest single, "Hard Knoxk Life," she weaves a tale of danger that polluted her past life before rap stardom. She isn't bitter, but rather reflective of all she's endured to make a name for herself. The offering is brief but is drastically harder than anything she's released before. She has regularly been one of the most slept-on Chicago rappers in recent memory.</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>

Kanye West Starts College Fund for George Floyd's Daughter and Donates $2 Million
After a week of silence, Kanye's actions speak louder than words.
06.05.2020
After remaining silent for several days, Kanye West has donated $2 million to organizations associated with Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd.
He'll also be supporting Black-owned businesses in Chicago and will cover legal expenses for the Arbery and Taylor families. Additionally, he's started a college fund for Floyd's daughter, Gianna.
<p>Kanye is one of <a href="https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/2020/06/05/Kylie-Jenner-Kanye-West-top-Forbes-list-of-highest-paid-celebrities/5261591368303/" target="_blank">Forbes' highest-paid celebrities</a>, second only to his sister-in-law Kylie Jenner.

</div></blockquote></div><p>It's always hard to know whether to support Kanye because of his Trump-supporting, MAGA-hat-wearing past, but according to Twitter this all may have been part of a game Kanye was playing. Someone named Erik Bakely commented on a recent Instagram post: "He became cordial with Trump to get Kim inside the White House... he's just very strategic." One of Kanye's friends, Bu, commented, "You Smart!"</p><p><div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-632"></div>
