During an interview with The Fader, Playboi Carti said that he is working on a tape with Metro Boomin.
Carti said that they have made a bunch of music together, but finding the right songs and adjusting them has been an issue: “I got a whole ‘nother tape with this nigga. That’s why my head’s fucked up. This shit could go on my album, but if it goes on the album, then we gotta change the whole thing.”
He also made sure to reassure fans that the reason for the delay in releasing Whole Lotta Love is he’s aiming at perfection: “I could be done if I wanted to. I’m just trying to top shit. I might make the hardest song ever tomorrow.” I get where he’s coming from and I respect his drive, it’s just that he is going to be waiting a while if he’s waiting for perfection.
Carti mentioned some other unrelated topics in the interview such as how Atlanta is the home of hip hop: “This is the home of the whole hip-hop. Niggas ain’t fucking with us on this music shit, and I ain’t just talking about me. I’m talking about the next nigga that we don’t even know about right now, making a song. He’s from Atlanta.” I mean, he’s kinda right. Atlanta is really hot right now, and a lot of big names in the hip hop world, such as Gucci Mane and Migos, are coming from Atlanta.
Nickelodeon has announced the cast for the new reboot of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” Sam Ashe Arnold, Miya Cech, Tamara Smart, Jeremy Taylor, Lyliana Wray, and Rafael are all set to star in the show that comes out in Halloween.
According to Deadline, the series will consist of three hour-long episodes that features a new group of kids in “The Midnight Society”. Together, they will tell the story of the Carnival of Doom.
“Are You Afraid of the Dark?” was groundbreaking in its day, with its ghost story anthology premise totally redefining what entertainment for kids. It was created by DJ MacHale and Ned Kandel and aired from 1992 to 1996 and again from 1999 to 2000. This show reboot is one of many that Nickelodeon is doing, including ones for “Spongebob” and “All That”.
The network stated that the events in the miniseries will coincide with the “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” movie that comes out later this year.
On Wednesday, Cassie posted on Instagram that she is expecting a child with boyfriend Alex Fine. The caption under the photo of Fine and her and baby booties read “Can’t wait to meet our baby girl. Love You Always & Forever”
Fine put a little more effort into his announcement on Instagram, writing an entire letter to his unborn daughter:
“Letter to my Daughter, I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever. I never thought my heart could grow bigger after meeting your mother… then I found out we were having you and I instantly felt a love that is so indescribable. I promise to be at every dance recital, concert, sporting event, school plays whatever you decide to do I will be there and support you. I am your number one fan.”
“I promise to be a man that you and your mother look up to and love. I will always listen and put the both of you first. I will show you a healthy relationship and how you deserve to be treated. I promise to never approve of any boy you like because they will never be good enough for my baby girl. Sorry. I can’t promise that I won’t embarrass you because I will give you so many kisses at every school drop off.”
I will be the Dad that never forces my opinions on you. I will love whatever you do in life as long as you’re happy. I promise that I will be kind, sweet, and you will always be daddy’s little girl. I promise to love you every single second unconditionally until my last breath. You’re perfect to me and always will be.”
This is sweet, and it’s nice to see that Fine is aware of what a dad should be. Just a little messed up that everyone else will get to read the letter before the person it is addressed to.
Chris Brown and Drake have come a long way. After officially ending their beef last fall, the two have collaborated on a new song called “No Guidance”. This the first time the two have worked together than since Nicki Minaj’s “Only”.
The track will be a single for Chris Brown’s new album Indigo that is set to come out June 28th. Other artists featured on the album will be Lil Wayne, H.E.R., and Justin Bieber.
While on tour for their new album Father of the Bride, Vampire Weekend played a concert in Indianapolis, Indiana in which they covered the Parks and Recreation theme song.
There are two reason why the band probably decided to do this. For one, the lead singer Ezra Koenig is married to former Parks and Rec star Rashida Jones and they just recently welcomed their first child in September. Second, Parks and Rec takes place in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana.
