Jordan Peele ’s sprawling sci-fi horror flick Nope was inspired, in part, by a burned CD a friend handed him in the mid-2000s. Scrawled, simply, with the word “ Exuma ,” the CD contained cult Bahamian performer Tony Mackey’s 1970 debut — and the kernel that would become an epic film about the Black figures history has forgotten. “I immediately responded to the haunting and elemental quality of his music,” Peele tells Rolling Stone of Exuma, whose records are basically aural movies about zombies, gods, and slaves rising up to punish their oppressors — with a parade or two thrown in for good measure. “I remember having this startling takeaway that: here was such an influential and important musician that I hadn’t heard for the first half of my life. Mckay was such an amazing artist, and he hadn’t been given the proper respect his work deserved.” Tony Mackey borrowed his stage name from an island district in the Bahamas, moving to New York and the Greenwich music scene in … [Read more...] about Jordan Peele’s ‘NOPE’ Was Partly Inspired by This Cult Musician’s Legacy

Glen Campbell ’s impact on musicians from all genres was evident in the remembrances and outpourings of grief following the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s death Tuesday at 81 . The “Wichita Lineman” singer had been in the final stages of Alzheimer’s disease in Nashville. A representative for Campbell’s record label confirmed his death, while Campbell’s family issued a statement expressing their grief. “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and legendary singer and guitarist, Glen Travis Campbell,” the family said in part.

Fetty Wap, all of 24 years old, uploaded a song to SoundCloud in April of 2014 and it just, well, stuck around. “Trap Queen” — currently in its 34th week on the Hot 100 — continues to define pop ubiquity, blasting from car speakers in the middle of the day, getting requests at the club that night. The rapper, born Willie Maxwell, is at the Pepsi Center in Denver — far from his home in Paterson, New Jersey. He’s opening for Chris Brown near the tail end of a month-long, countrywide jaunt, but that’s just the tip of his celebrity: Kanye West was an early Fetty Wap supporter; Drake contributed a verse to the remix for his third hit, “My Way”; Taylor Swift covered “Trap Queen” with the rapper in Seattle. However, when Fetty Wap dropped the track list to his self-titled debut album — due out September 25th — A-list names were conspicuously absent. “I didn’t have no features on ‘Trap Queen.’ It was just me,” says Fetty on his tour bus in the shadow of the venue. He’s having his braids … [Read more...] about Remy to Rumble: Fetty Wap and His Crew Conquer America

But overnight this summer, the posts about her on the app turned negative. Just a few shows into the tour, Kate began going viral on Titkok Chase Atlantic fans began posting videos of the crowd trolling her during the show, specifically during her performance of her nursery rhyme satire “Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch.” The videos — some with nearly 10 million — captured concertgoers holding up their phones in the air as if they were recording her, but a close look revealed they were simply displaying the calculator app on their screens. Others played games like Subway … [Read more...] about How Leah Kate Turned Concert Trolls Into Streams
