When it comes to crossover potential, the worlds of hip-hop music and Star Wars don't stand out as obvious bedfellows, but thanks to a new music video courtesy of Snoop Dogg and his all-star group Mount Rushmore, we have been treated to just that. Releasing the official video for the song Big Subwoofer , Snoop appears with his collaborators E-40, Too $hort and Ice Cube as the foursome take a journey into space on a pimped out cruiser with subwoofers on the sides. Over the course of the video, we see alien dancers who could have been shipping in from Jabba's cantina, and Snoop himself even gets his Mandalorian on by kitting himself out in Beskar armor. While the others all chip in for their part, E-40's opening soon gives way to Snoop Dogg , banging out his lines with usual swag and seeming effortless ease, standing on an alien landscape, with a large headed, shirt wearing alien jiving along next to him. While in the Mandalorian it is customary to wear your helmet, …

Slash just finished the latest leg of a world tour with Guns N’ Roses, and they’ve got multiple new singles out — a sentence that would have seemed laughably implausible less than a decade ago. Even with hard-rock hell fully frozen over, though, Slash just can’t stop releasing solo material. The guitarist has just released a new single, “The River Is Rising,” with his solo band featuring journeyman vocalist Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. In 2018, Slash explained his reasoning for keeping his solo fires burning even now that he’s back in GNR. “I wanna keep that going as something that I have outside of what Guns N’ Roses is doing,” he told Rolling Stone . “It’s a little crazy, but it’s way better for me to be fucking busy running around and doing that than for me just to be sitting around.” “The River Is Rising” will appear on 4 , the aptly titled upcoming fourth album from Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. They recorded it live in the studio in …

All Time Low have denied abuse allegations that have recently been made online, including on TikTok, which allege guitarist Jack Barakat had sexually abused them when they were minors. “The allegations being brought against us are absolutely and unequivocally false,” the band wrote in a statement signed by all four members on Monday. “When a TikTok video gained traction a few weeks ago alluding to inappropriate behavior within our camp, we chose not to respond because of the glaring inconsistencies in the story and the apparent reluctance to mention us by name. “We felt that a response would have elevated and escalated an outright lie and in doing so robbed actual victims of abuse of their very real and very important collective voice. We believe victims. We stand with victims. We have only ever wanted to cultivate and nurture a culture around our show and band that is welcoming, healthy, and safe.” The TikTok video the band appears to be referring to was posted earlier …

The International Documentary Association came out with its shortlist of the year’s best documentaries today, a list as notable for what was left out as what made it in. A total of 29 feature films earned a spot on the IDA shortlist, including some considered Oscar frontrunners: Summer of Soul , Ascension , and Flee —each of which earned nominations last week for both the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards and the Gotham Awards. But several other films making a strong bid for Oscar attention were snubbed, among them The Rescue , Becoming Cousteau , Attica , Procession , and My Name Is Pauli Murray . The IDA gave recognition to several documentaries with an international dimension, like Faya Dayi , from Mexican-Ethiopian director Jessica Bashir, Chinese-born filmmaker Nanfu Wang’s Covid-19-related doc In The Same Breath , and Miguel’s War , the story of a gay Lebanese man who exiles himself to Spain. The IDA-shortlisted President focuses on …
