Five Songs That Should Find A Permanent Home In The Red Hot Center Of A Collapsing Star
I wasn’t going to participate in this. Music is like pizza toppings… most people like normal, good quality things, and some people are wrong and like pineapple. It’s not worth my time to argue with the neanderthals who like the latter. There’s plenty around to make my blood boil and delving into those songs I spend time consciously avoiding isn’t exactly what I want to do with my free time.

Moet Ro$e Is Redefining Hip Hop and Soul on Her Own Terms
Moet Ro$e is more than an artist—she’s a movement in the making. With roots in gospel choirs and a foundation shaped by both discipline and faith, she has crafted a sound that transcends genre lines. Her music fuses the raw honesty of hip hop with the soul-stirring richness of gospel-inspired vocals, creating a style that is at once authentic, ambitious, and deeply resonant. From her early days directing choirs and DJing campus events to building a growing catalog supported by her label, Moet Ro$e has proven that she doesn’t just perform music—she embodies it. Every verse carries her story, every note echo resilience, and every stage she steps on becomes a space for connection.

Some Thoughts On The Nature Of Progressive Music
Introduction These are just some of my thoughts on what makes music "progressive" and whether it always needs to be rock-based in the eschelons. While music started probably as chants to the heavens, which became hymns, and songs about life and nature that became the lifeblood of folk music, and these threads eventually led to classical music, in which groups of musicians performed written music together. Then these threads, folk, religious and classical, continued to grow and split, giving us blues, jazz, soul, rock, and roll.

Why I Spoke Up for Charlie Kirk. AI-Generated.
Recently, someone asked me why I posted in support of Charlie Kirk online, knowing that I didn’t agree with him on everything. It’s a fair question; one I think a lot of people were probably wondering. And honestly, they were somewhat right… but also, a little wrong.

Songs That Should Not Exist. Top Story - September 2025.
There are so many songs I could add to this list. 1. “Friday” – Rebecca Black Listen here “Friday” is the aural equivalent of stepping barefoot on a Lego. Every note is a testament to what happens when ambition meets no discernible talent. The autotuned vocals are robotic, the lyrics read like a diary of a caffeinated thirteen-year-old, and the beat is an unrelenting metronome of despair. Listening to this song is simply unpleasant. It is an experience of existential torment wrapped in a pop veneer.

7 Signs Jay-Z's New Album Will Drop Before 2025 (Proof Inside)
We Analyzed Every Rumor: Here’s What a New Jay-Z Album Actually Means for Hip-Hop Let us be honest for a moment. The rumor of a new Jay-Z album is not just news. It is a cyclical event in hip hop, a cultural phenomenon when it happens. We have stood on this exact rumor before, wishing into the abyss of possibility, ever since the final, confessional notes of 4:44 faded out seven years ago. Yet here we are again, the spark ignited this time by none other than Cash Cobain on Billboard’s Unfiltered live. The claim is simple, yet monumental. Hov is cooking.
