Lil Wayne, Birdman, and Juvenile. Three titans of hip-hop with relationships so intertwined, so elaborate, that they've been at odds together on occasion within the past twenty years, although it looks like the hatchets have ultimately been buried. They've released a new joint teamwork, "Ride Dat," that doesn't waste time with reintroductions, saying sorry, or kissing each other asses..
Read MoreThe origin story of Lil Nas X is as well-known as Spiderman's beginnings. Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" was cast off of Billboard's Hot Nation chart for not being nation enough, then it was embraced by Billy Ray Cyrus who hopped on the remix and helped propel the song to 19 straight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. In maybe the most fitting next chapter that feels like the song's ac..
Read MoreA$AP Rocky has released his first video since coming home right after his assault trial in Sweden and it's a wild, cartoonish, and excessively creepy ride. It's for "Babushka Boi" a recently teased song, that pays homage to Dick Tracy, hardboiled 1930s comic series detective who got the big-screen treatment in 1990 thanks to Madonna, Al Pacino, and others. If A$AP Rocky were to trav..
Read MoreDrake has buried something where nearly no one can find it– save for himself. In his new video for cash In The Grave," Construction Papi hits the junkyard with an excavator. He also lives it large with Rick Ross, who is featured on the track, and then shows some footage from Toronto celebrating the Raptors winning the 2019 NBA Finals. However the most interesting aspect of this grit..
Read MoreIt seems like that just a couple of years prior, Travis Scott was performing for dozens of people and right now, he's ripping the tops off stadiums and arenas with fans spilling over like excess water in a cup. His 2018 album ASTROWORLD was the chef's kiss on his career, showcasing that he's arrived at the summit of rap's rickety mountain and, thanks to a new film called Travis Scot..
Read MoreJordan Peele's horror film Us is a masterpiece, not just because of its clever story and perfect acting by a cast who often had to play insane versions of themselves that couldn't speak; it's also the horrifying, chill-inducing original music created by composer Michael Abels who handles the vast array of instruments like a dark puppeteer does the limbs of their marionette, finding n..
Read MoreSaweetie's "My Type" and all of its Petey Pablo-sampling "Freek-a-leek" steam, released in June before the peak of summer, boldly declaring to the world just the sort of partner that the rising rapper likes: someone who's financially successful and has larger than typical private parts. For what she says is the initial of the song's remixes, the rapper has enlisted City Girls and Jhe..
Read MoreThe 2019 VMAs kick off on August 26 at 8 p.M. ET/PT, and this year's list of nominees is, as normal, long and stellar. It's also a handy reminder of the songs and videos we've obsessed over this year — or as we like to call them, bops. In honor of the nominees (and all the explosive performances we're excited about), the MTV News team brings you a special VMA edition of Bop Shop, fe..
Read MoreG-Eazy has released not one, not two, although three new tracks on the same day. He's stuffed this Thursday (August 22) with the party banger "Got a Check" featuring T-Pain; "All Facts," with Ty Dolla $ign, a slower, more mindful number about relationships and what comes with them; and finally, a video for "Bang," which features Tyga, that's about buzzer-beating basketball aesthetics..
Read MoreBROCKHAMPTON have released a video for their new single, "No Halo" that's much darker and more emotional than their particular brand of wild and nonsensical clips. It's atypical seeing the internet's boy musical group in this emotive space, however it fits with the bleaker nature of the tune, which finds members Matt Champion, Merlyn Wood, Dom McLennon, Joba and Bearface (Kevin Abstra..
Read MoreYFN Lucci and Trey Songz have released the video for their hit group effort, "All Night Long." In it, they live a life of luxury in a villa next to the beach, surrounded by women. Lucci has his eye on one woman in particular and is decided to win her over, no matter who's looking at him. While he's doing this, Trey Songz is his effortless, all-smiling wingman, obviously. With each ot..
Read MoreVince Staples is preparing to release what looks like a new TV show on August 22 called The Vince Staples Show. Knowing Vince, this might would be a clever misdirect. Yet thanks to a brief trailer that's about a minute long, we have our first taste of this new intellectual property – whichever it might be. Also it involves...Selling candy? Who else yet Vince. https://youtu.Be/tjj..
