written by Malachi Weaver

Logic dropped “1-800-273-8255” back in April as the third single from his album Everybody. Since then, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has noted how big of an impact the song has had.

written by Malachi Weaver

The stars of Spider-Man: Homecoming are good for more than just web slinging.

Zendaya and Tom Holland competed against each other on a recent episode of Lip Sync Battle, airing back in May. The competition, however, has only just now made it online.

Zendaya appears first in the clip, doing a rendition of Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic”. Holland then stole the show with a mashup of Gene Kelly’s “Singing in the Ran” and Rihanna’s “Umbrella.”

Spoiler alert: Holland wins.

Check out the clip below and see for yourself which was your favorite.

‘Sesame Street’ Parodies ‘Orange Is The New Black’ in New Clip

by Malachi Weaver June 7, 2017
written by Malachi Weaver

The latest installment in a series of Sesame Street parodies comes in the form of “Orange Is The New Snack”, a play on the Netflix series Orange is the New Black. This clip follows a series of G-rated renditions of adult shows created by Sesame Street, including parodies of Mad Men, Game of Thrones, and Boardwalk Empire.

The parody begins with a Sesame Street-inspired interpretation of the OITNB theme song, which follows closely to the original:

“The girls at school/ The girls at school/ Munch, munch, munch till your tummy’s full/ The cookies are baked/ It’s time to feed/ But healthy foods are what we need.”

Sesame Street’s parody contained many more references to the show, including the characters Piper Snackman (based on OITNB’s Piper Chapman), Googly Eyes (Crazy Eyes), as well as the students attending Litchfield Academy – a play on the show’s Litchfield Penitentiary.

Check out the parody below:

Donald Glover Finally Makes it Into A Spiderman Movie With New ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Trailer

by Malachi Weaver May 25, 2017
written by Malachi Weaver

Fans have been pushing for Donald Glover to portray Spiderman in a film since he tweeted interest back in 2010:

“You guys. Let’s make this happen. #donald4spiderman”

Now with the latest trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming, it looks like fans’ wishes could finally become a reality.

The trailer shows Glover, whose character is currently unknown, telling Tom Holland’s Peter Parker “You gotta get better at this part of the job.” Speculators believe that Glover could possibly be playing Miles Morales, the half-Black, half-Puerto Rican Spiderman who Glover already voices in Ultimate Spider-Man.

The idea of Donald Glover playing Spider-Man in a live action film has been popular ever since his original tweet and has even influenced songs like Logic’s “Black Spiderman” (“Spiderman should be black/ I vote for Glover instead).

Glover has been busy recently with his own TV show Atlanta, as well as his recent album – released under the name Childish Gambino – “Awaken, My Love!” He is also set to play Simba in the upcoming Lion King live action remake and Lando Calrissian in the upcoming, currently untitled, Han Solo Star Wars movie.

Check out Donald’s cameo in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer below.

Harvard Student Graduates With Honors By Submitting School’s First Ever Rap Thesis

by Malachi Weaver May 22, 2017
written by Malachi Weaver

Obasi Shaw is the first student at Harvard University to submit a rap album for a thesis, and he just graduated with Honors.

Obasi Shaw '17 submitted Harvard's first rap thesis, "Liminal Minds," which combines elements of Middle English poetry with issues of racial identity in America. “[African-Americans are] free, but the effects of slavery still exist," says Shaw. "Each song is an exploration of that state between slavery and freedom.”⠀ ⠀ After graduation, Shaw will move to Seattle for a one-year internship in software engineering. As for rap, he’ll keep it as a treasured hobby. “Rap is a genre in which I can say everything I want to say,” Shaw said. “I’ve been writing in different capacities, but I never felt that I found my art form until I started rapping.”⠀ ⠀ #Harvard #Harvard17

A post shared by Harvard University (@harvard) on May 18, 2017 at 1:11pm PDT

The 20-year-old student created the 10-song project, Liminal Minds, over the course of about a year. Liminal Minds takes on a different character persona on each song and was inspired by both Shaw’s mother and Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.

After Harvard, Shaw will begin work as a software engineer for Google, so it seems the prospect of a future rap career is uncertain. For now, check out Liminal Minds below.

Nicki Minaj, Future and Ashley Graham Wore Custom H&M at The Met Gala

by Malachi Weaver May 5, 2017
written by Malachi Weaver

H&M designed custom looks for Nicki Minaj, Future, Ashley Graham, Joe Jonas, Jourdan Dunn, Sasha Lane and Stella Maxwell for the 2017 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit.

Inspired by this year’s Costume Institute exhibition Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, the H&M design team created one-of-a-kind looks that explored many of Kawakubo’s recurring themes. These included deconstruction, subverted tradition and asymmetry, mixed with the charm of bows, flowers and polka dots, with each look made especially for this exclusive evening of fashion. Attending the Costume Institute Benefit for the third year in a row, H&M was particularly pleased with this year’s theme having collaborated with Comme des Garçons for its 2008 H&M designer collection.

“It has been our honor at H&M to create these looks inspired by Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons, one of fashion’s most important and influential designers. Each H&M look has been entirely custom-made, with both Kawakubo’s creative world and the style of our guests in mind,” said Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and Creative Director.

“Partnering with H&M has been an incredible and unique experience. The look we have created is so special to me and I’m looking forward to sharing this moment with everyone. Together with the H&M design team, we embodied the theme; from the dramatic train to Kawakubo’s face. it’s truly inspiring!” said Nicki Minaj.

“It’s been such a wonderful experience with H&M for my first Met Gala. I have loved collaborating with them every step of the way and I can’t wait to show off my dress. It’s everything I could have ever dreamed of!” said Ashley Graham.

“I always love wearing H&M, so it’s been an amazing experience to have H&M create this one-off look just for me. The tailoring is sharp and perfect for this special night, and it’s all so effortless,” said Joe Jonas.

Rapper and singer ‪Nicki Minaj‪ wore a sheer tulle gown with a long train in raw-edged silk taffeta, featuring extravagant black vinyl roses trapped at the hem and beneath the train. The dress was held by an off-the-shoulder silk duchesse kimono top, its leather Obi belt featuring a mask of the face of Kawakubo. The train was decorated with rays of black and red, with one red Swarovski crystal ray extending to the front.

Rapper Future was dressed in a slim-fitted black tail-coat made from organic silk, TENCEL® and wool, its back embellished with a hand-embroidered black skull with a red Swarowski crystal heart. He wore it with a dark navy shirt in organic silk and a bow tie.

Model Ashley Graham wore a corset dress influenced by Kawakubo’s interest in revealing the inner workings of garments. An off-white corset was subtly deconstructed, while a long red silk skirt was boned and fastened by hook-and-eyes, both decorated with exuberant ruffles of dark red silk organza.

Model Jourdan Dunn wore a body-skimming dress that played with the theme of deconstructing and subverting traditional garments. A top of off-white silk taffeta shirting appeared as if falling off a calico bodice, its skirt of deconstructed navy pinstripe suiting that was cut asymmetrically and into bows.

Actress Sasha Lane wore a sheer net-like structured dress embellished with various sizes of polka dots, one of Kawakubo’s key motifs. The dress was held by a sheer, boned upper body with black Swarovski crystals, the playful dots in tactile materials such as raffia and velvet.

Singer Joe Jonas was dressed in a deep red slim fit suit in Italian double-silk satin with black stripe and lapels. His black silk shirt was in 100% organic silk, finished with a black bowtie.

Model Stella Maxwell wore a sheer organic silk chiffon dress covered in strands of pearls. Beginning as a necklace that draped the open back, the pearls crossed the chest and formed the lines of a crinoline into the dress, before falling free to play around the body.
