• Mike WiLL Made It Shares 'F--k U Expect' Music Vid Feat. Jace [WATCH]

    Superstar hip-hop producer Mike WiLL Made It has shared the music video for his track "F--k U Expect" featuring Jace, which you can check out below. The Max-directed video finds Jace, of the groups Retro Sushi and Two-9, hanging around a gas station drinking beer and, later on, in the middle of a busy highway. The video is incredibly short, coming in at just a minute and a half, but that is the perfect amount of time to get the gist of what Mike WiLL and Jace are trying to do and gives the track a cool, "Madvillainy" vibe.

  • Flying Lotus Shares 'Coronus, the Terminator' Music Vid [WATCH]

    Electronic artist Flying Lotus has shared the haunting music video for his song "Coronus, the Terminator," which you can check out below. Directed by Young Replicant, the clip stars Flying Lotus, among other people, as some sort of ghostly figure who witnesses a man's startlingly violent death. It is creepy stuff, but it is also beautiful in the strangest way. "Coronus, the Terminator" is the third music video to be shared from Flying Lotus's latest album "You're Dead!," following the videos for "Ready Err Not" and "Never Catch Me" featuring Kendrick Lamar. It is one of the rare songs in which Flying Lotus sings lead, rather than collaborating with a singer or rapper. "For me, 'Coronus' is one of the most important moments on 'You're Dead!' and holds ideas I'm planning to explore in my future work," Flying Lotus said of the song in a press release. "I'm happy that the visual encapsulates the meaning of the record and this ambition." You can check out Flying Lotus's "Coronus, the Terminator" music video here:

  • Kid Cudi Responds to Kendrick Lamar's Ferguson Views, Starts Beef with Lupe Fiasco

    Kendrick Lamar's recent remarks on the murder of Michael Brown started a few beefs with the likes of Azealia Banks and Lupe Fiasco. The rapper said the problem is part of a bigger issue that starts with African-American communities. Kid Cudi shared his opinion on the statement before Fiasco took issue with his tweets, starting a sub-beef of sorts, "Vibe" notes. "I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it's already a situation, mentally, where it's f--ked up. What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It starts from within. Don't start with just a rally, don't start from looting — it starts from within," Lamar told "Billboard." Cudi's rant started yesterday, Jan. 10, and Fiasco interrupted soon after. "Dear black artists, dont talk down on the black community like you are Gods gift to n---az everywhere. If you wanna help, inspire, uplift, don't point the blame and talk down," he tweeted.

  • Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign Share Trippy New Song 'Refresh/Say No More' [LISTEN]

    Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign have shared a trippy new collaborative track titled "Refresh/Say No More," which you can check out below. Being almost nine minutes long, this is really two tracks in one, and if the cover art is any indication (which you can check out up above), this is some really spacy, psychedelic stuff, even moreso than Wiz usually gets. It's not clear who the producer is on this track, though the Soundcloud page says it was "engineered" by Drew Drucker and Ricky P, so maybe they should be getting the credit for this one.

  • 10 Best Late-Night Performances of '14: Ryan Adams, Bobby Shmurda, Kendrick Lamar, More [WATCH]

    The late-night performance has become a rite of passage in recent years for up-and-coming bands. For more established acts, it is a chance to play some songs from a new record. There is no denying that the moves made in 2014 in the late-night realm affected the quality of the performances. David Letterman is retiring in May, so he has just been enjoying it all — he really dug Ryan Adams. Jimmy Fallon took over "The Tonight Show," which meant The Roots adding their Philly funk to acts like Bobby Shmurda. And Stephen Colbert ended his tenure on "The Colbert Report" recently, wisely booking Kendrick Lamar for his final week. The last year was filled with great performances that may have been on past your bedtime. Here are a few of our favorites.
