Comedy duo "Tenacious D" compromised of Jack Black & Kyle Gass have been rather quiet over the past few years. Since their Box office movie "The Pick Of Destiny" didn't really do as well as they expected it to, they had seemed to disappear.
Well, they're back! At least to an extent. The duo have released a 6 minute film parodying the last few years and what is expected from the new album.
The clip features cameo's from Dave Grohl, Josh Groban & a few others.
The track also premiere's a new song, "To Be The Best". Sounding very similar to old stuff, I think fans have got to ask themselves. Has this really been worth the wait? Despite this the film is rather amusing.

With music there are still rigged lines that separate genres, but like an ever-broadening grey area Jacole is working around standards and doing what he pleases. Following a club-banger with a slow-jam isn’t anything new, but when considering the consistency exuded this artist has something for everyone. Read more
Yep, this time last year no one knew who she was. Now she's a megastar with a primetime performance spot on major shows such as SNL & American Idol. There is hope for all of us.
After all the hate she got on her SNL performance, the reception for this one seems rather positive.

In case you've been living under a rock, you should know that Odd Future's highly anticipated OF Tape 2 recently dropped. So, you should probably go and buy it now before continuing to read this article.
After every hip-hop head, hipster & music critic has had enough time to put forward their opinion on the album, they all seem to agree on one thing. The album closer, "Oldie" which verges on 10 minutes, is pretty damn awesome.
Featuring the whole OF crew & a rather mellow beat, they crafted an intense piece of hip-hop.
Whilst on the set of their recent Terry Richardson photoshoot, the group made an impromptu video to go along with the track, one in which their personalities can help their verses, well, to some extent.

On a night that presented itself as cool and slightly mild weather, the University of Texas at Arlington's campus was filled with warm anticipation and pure excitement as Drake's Club Paradise tour made a stop in Arlington, TX on March 2nd.
Yes, Drake was performing, and for added flare, at the brand new College Park Center on campus. This would be the first concert at the campus landmark so, the bar was set high; Drake and company delivered without fault.
The night started with Chase N. Cashe (of Surf Club) performing tracks from his previously released mixtape and his sophomore release
The Heir Up There. He kept the young crowd moving in wake of the Kendrick, A$AP Rocky & Drake. Next up, the A$AP Mob and their front man A$AP Rocky had the crowd rapping cult classic lyrics of "Peso", "Purple Swag" and "Trilla" which he performed with A$AP Nast and A$AP Twelvy.
Wrapping up the opening acts, Kendrick Lamar came out to
Take Care's "Buried Alive" Interlude, further intensifying the atmosphere. Mr. Hiii Power continued his set with "Hiii Power", "A.D.H.D" and a powerful freestyle that closed out the opening act portion.
Now, to Mr. Graham. After a 20 minute intermission to prepare the stage, the lights dimmed to complete darkness. In an instant a keyboard progression played leading to the soulful track "Lord Knows". Lights flashed as the instrumental played, then, Mr. OVOXO appeared reciting the second verse of the Just Blaze, Rick Ross assisted track. Drake ran through
Take Care tracks such as "Underground Kings", "Crew Love", "Shot 4 Me", and the title track "Take Care". He also performed fan favorite tracks from
Thank Me Later ("Miss Me" & "Over"). He made friends with the students of UTA, citing the students as his energy source because he had a stomach flu. He also said that UTA has been his best crowd yet.
Drake rounded out the night with his top-charting hit "Headlines", leaving us with an impression and memories that my peers will never forget. With all that said, one can now say that Drake is much more than a teen drama star (Degrassi) or a "soft" rapper who sings about your girlfriend. He's now placed himself among the greats (Kanye West, Jay Z, and Lil' Wayne) and has solidified himself as a mainstay in the game.
Lana Del Rey has released the new video for her debut single "Blue Jeans".
The song's been a fan favorite for a while, & now that she's got a lot of hype behind her she's decided to re-release the song.
The video is very much in the style of her other videos, even featuring the same love interest from the "Born To Die" video.
Here's the video -

Unfortunate news developed this weekend as Frank Ocean announced via his
Tumblr that
Nostalgia, Lite was not going to be released. Def Jam also said this weekend that
Nostalgia, Lite would not be released. How do you feel about this annoucement? Do you think this is just a bluff to build anticipation? Let us know what you think down below.
It looks likes things just keep getting better and better for the Canadian rapper Drake. For the April issue of GQ Magazine, Mr. Graham graces the cover for the hailed fashion magazine. From the
preview, some of the topics covered pertain to his father, his relationship with women, and an intimate look inside his bedroom.
For the 15th year anniversary of Biggie's death a few days ago, numerous projects were put together to honor the Hip-Hop legend. One of those was this, a mash-up/mixtape of Biggie's "Ready To Die" album & Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die".
In all honesty it just seems to get hate from hip-hop heads claiming it's disrespectful to Biggie. Then there's the hipsters who think it's great because it's Lana Del Rey.
