  • Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' $10,000 Grant Ban Lifted By High School

    Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have shown their concern over the dwindling funding of public school arts programs in the form of a $10,000 grant to an Orange County high school. However, early last week, it was revealed that Aliso Niguel High School declined the grant due to the promotion of "misogyny and drug use." Mackelmore was evidently disheartened by the news, which came in light of parents' complaints about a visit from the pair. The ban was prompted by a contest (held by the textbook website Chegg, according to The Orange County Register) in which students competed to win a visit and grant from the popular Hip Hop duo.

  • 6 Hip-Hop Song Sans Verses for AC: Tupac, Eminem, Kanye West and More

    Has your mother ever commented how much she enjoys the chorus to "See You Again" or "Monster," but that she really wishes Wiz Khalifa and Eminem (respectively) hadn't "ruined" the song with their raps? She's not the first. This week we found out that a revised version of the former song, featuring only Charlie Puth's hook, as well as new melodic verses in place of Khalifa's bars, has been on the rise at Adult Contemporary radio...occasionally known as "Adult Conservative." The only thing less likely to end up on AC than hip-hop is heavy metal, but as rappers frequently find themselves invited to guest on pop singles (such as Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar), labels sometimes edit the "offending" portion out, resulting in a safer, frequently less exciting product.
