A few months ago, YouTube quietly added stories as a feature to their video streaming platform. Popular users now have the ability to record and post their own short videos and have them appear in story format, similar to other social media outlets. This feature isn’t available to everyone who has a channel, only those with a substantial audience.
Stories initially became popularized via Snapchat, allowing users to log a narrative using pictures and videos that would last only for a 24 hour period. Since then, both Facebook and Instagram have adopted the same format, launching the feature to mainstream appeal.
The tutorial above outlines how to use the function on the mobile app for users to post on their own personal channels. The idea behind adding stories to YouTube is to allow their creators to reach out to their fans in a fast, easy, accessible way. Stories have become a staple of social media, and have become necessary to these platforms to engage its users.

Chicago rapper Noname tweeted early Thursday a tease for a new single titled ‘Song 32’ that is due out next week. This marks the first new song since the release of her debut studio album ‘Room 25’ that dropped back in September of 2018.
Noname first came to prominence with a feature on fellow Chi-town native Chance The Rapper’s debut mixtape ‘Acid Rap.’ Since then she has collaborated with Chance on a few other tracks and dropped her own mixtape ‘Telefone,’ launching herself into the mainstream.
In a follow up tweet to her tease, Noname revealed that she will be taking a some time off from making new music, presumably to focus on touring. Currently the Chicago rapper is on the European leg of her Room 25 tour, with U.S. dates coming in June, including a stop at Governor’s Ball in NYC.
Cardi B took to her Instagram page Tuesday afternoon to issue a statement regarding a problematic video that resurfaced over the weekend.

In the video that can be found here, Cardi is ranting on IG live claiming to have drugged men in order to robbed them. In her apology, Cardi says that the video in question is three years old and she expresses some remorse in her post. She writes that nobody is perfect and that she felt like she needed to do those things in her past in order to survive, despite them being wrong.
At the end of the apology, Cardi denies the claim she made in the old video that she drugged men stating, “The men I spoke about in my live were men that I dated that I was involved with, men that were conscious willing and aware.”
This has been the only comment from Cardi B regarding the situation, we will keep you posted if anything else follows this apology.

via New York Times — Conor McGregor, the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s biggest star and one of the world’s highest-paid athletes, is under investigation in Ireland after a woman accused him of sexual assault in December, according to four people familiar with the investigation.
McGregor has not been charged with a crime. Following the usual protocol in criminal investigations in Ireland and much of Europe, where a formal charge does not necessarily follow an arrest, McGregor was arrested in January, questioned by law enforcement authorities and released pending further investigation, according to the people.
Conor McGregor has been all around the news over the past week, and especially over the last 24 hours. After making an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night and talking about his interest in fighting again, he tweeted out a retirement post, hours after his segment aired.
Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as “Mixed Martial Art” today. I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!
McGregor now finds himself in hot water with the law again, this time being accused of sexual assault. The New York Times is reporting that McGregor was arrested in January and released pending further investigation. McGregor is currently not guilty of any crime, just accused, but the claim is still being handled by Irish authorities.
The woman is accusing McGregor of sexual assault at the Beacon Hotel, an establishment located in Dublin. McGregor was last at the hotel back in December. The police in charge of investigating the case have recovered evidence from the room McGregor was a guest in and received closed circuit footage from the hotel.
The UFC star is no stranger to run-ins with the law, with his latest arrest happening just two weeks ago in Miami, when he was taken in for smashing a mans cell phone. This current accusation could be damning to the reputation and career of McGregor if found guilty.
The case is ongoing and we will provide updates accordingly. Follow us @SloppyVinyl on Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date on all our content.
XXL has opened up the voting for the tenth spot on this years freshman class. The voting started yesterday and will end next Monday at midnight. Some of the artists that are in the running for the coveted last spot in include: Blueface, Bhad Bhabie, Flipp Dinero, Gunna, Juice Wrld, Matt Ox, Rico Nasty, Sheck Wes, and a plethora of other names.
The voting can be done through the website that you can find by clicking here, or by using the official hashtag on social media with #XXLFreshman. The tenth spot vote is a relatively new addition to the list, with past winners including Iggy Azalea, Lil Yachty, and XXXTentacion.
After giving the list a quick glance, I would say the betting favorite right now has to be Juice Wrld. No one off that list had more success than Juice last year. He had two monster hits with “Lucid Dreams” and “All Girls Are The Same,” and dropped his second studio album earlier this month.
The sleeper in the group is Blueface. He’s currently sitting in the top 50 on Spotify with the no-so-catchy, yet somehow extremely catchy hit “Thotiana.” His music makes zero sense from a practical perspective, off beat, sloppy production, but the man somehow pulls it off.
Who do you think is going to the coveted final spot? Let us know on social media @SloppyVinyl and leave a comment below.
In a series of Instagram posts, Big Sean revealed to his fans that last year he had struggles with anxiety and depression. The Detroit rapper spoke how he felt lost around his 30th birthday and is now improving after working with a therapist.
Big Sean talked about how he had been using meditation in the past to deal with his depression and anxiety, but felt the results were no longer working. He talked about how he needed to nurture his relationships with himself and the people he loves, like his mother.
He spoke candidly about his struggles throughout the three IG videos and seems to be doing better now. It’s pretty refreshing to see someone as big and popular as Big Sean to speak openly about his mental health. It may not seem like a big deal, but it’s nice to see public figures show human emotion and talk honestly with the fans.
Big Sean’s last album was released in February of 2017. The rapper celebrated his 31st birthday yesterday, in better spirits than his last.
