![]() The trend has taken on a few different lives, with the initial run showcasing young TikTokers imaging what their parents were doing when the New Jack Swing classic initially came out. Creators on the app are making videos using the song’s pre-chorus (It’s driving me out of my mind/That’s why it’s hard for me to find) to show what their parents looked like when this song came out all those years ago. What’s old is new again, with Bell Biv DeVoe’s 1990 smash hit “Poison” is taking off on TikTok. There are a number of funny videos that feature the song, like this clip from user who has no idea who Jennifer is, but can’t stop dancing regardless. “Jennifer” has seen a second life on TikTok, recently receiving 36,000 uses on the app off the strength of his most recent viral hit, “Dinero.” The track is less affiliated with a particular trend than it is simply a catchy hit single that fans love to use on the app. ![]() Trinidad Cardona signed to Island Records off the strength of his viral sensation, “Jennifer,” so the young singer from Phoenix, Arizona is no stranger to skyrocketing success off the back of his hit single. But the rules have been changing ever since a man went cruising on his longboard listening to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” This column will break down all of the older tracks that are trending again (and explain why). The industry has seen an uptick in renewed interest around classic tracks that re-emerge in pop culture thanks to social media like TikTok, soundtrack, and commercial placements, and sometimes purely by chance (thanks Rickroll). Rae Sremmurd steers clear of the pitfall of the extremely long third album with a strong direction, a perfect balance and extreme heights of creativity.The path to virality, chart domination, and TikTok viral hits is no longer reserved for the newest, shiniest tracks. Slim Jxmmi even becomes more captivating on quieter tracks such as “Changed Up” or “Keep God First”. Inviting Zoe Kravitz, playing against type alongside the violence of trapper Trouble, the last ensemble is more loaded and introspective. Sometimes redundant, this formula, more pop, allows for a naive and sweet digression before ending on Slim Jxmmi’s moment, more raw and efficient. Swae Lee carves the wake of his unstoppable “Unforgettable’ with French Montana on his nine sections. On the personal parts, the scope is much larger.

Rae Sremmurd steers clear of the pitfall of the extremely long third album with a strong direction, a perfect balance and extreme heights of creativity. The defining moment is “Rock N Roll Hall of Fame”, in which Rae Sremmurd comes back to his “Black Beatles” formula and really earn the status of Rock Stars. Between dissonant piano (“Buckets”) and renewed homage to Three 6 Mafia (“Powerglide”), these 9 first tracks are as innovative as calibrated to be put on a loop on a large scale. ![]() Swae Leed is always insolent in his placements and melodies, while Slim Jxmmi sharpens a voice full of small cracks, that are revealed more and more, giving it a new dimension. More stripped-down and minimalist from the first step “Up in My Coccina”, their music goes straight to the point, carrying in its wake giants like The Weeknd, Future and Travis Scott. The shared segment is really the most successful, marking a new evolution in Rae Sremmurd’s sound architecture. The balance is always perfect with 9 tracks in each part, everything is to the millimeter but in the excess. ![]() But each section has its own specific artistic direction, world and path. In reality, the division is less obvious, with the ghost of the band and of their mentor Mike Will still lingering on the entirety of the work, make the whole very cohesive. Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi don’t take the easy route with an album in three distinct parts: one shared and two solo asides. With the unexpected success of “Black Beatles”, number one in the charts, the duo are at the cliff edge before their very ambitious third album. Since the childish “No Flex Zone”, the two brothers forming Rae Sremmurd joyfully surf on a wave of endless parties, postponed explosions and automatic creations.

![]() Drake was nominated for a Grammy for “Best Rap Performance” for “Back to Back.‘I told them I was on my way out to meet some singer called Drake,” says writer Ronan Bennett, recalling the unlikely story of how he went out for dinner with the Canadian rapper and somehow managed to make himself seem less cool in front of his children. This started the whole conspiracy over “Drake has a ghostwriter.” Drake fired back immediately with “Charged Up” and with no response from Meek, he dropped another diss track four days later titled “Back to Back.” Meek then released his diss track titled “Wanna Know.”. His most eventful beef was with Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill. Certified Lover Boy finally dropped on September 3, 2021.ĭrizzy has also been involved in many beefs, including ones with Common and Tyga. The mixtape includes features from Lil Baby and Rick Ross. On March 4th, 2021, Drake released Scary Hours 2, the sequel to Drake’s January 2018 mixtape Scary Hours. On October 24, 2020, Drake’s 34th birthday, he revealed the album trailer for Certified Lover Boy and announced a January 2021 release date, which was postponed following a knee injury. Dark Lane Demo Tapes, Drake’s 5th official mixtape, was released on with the promise of a new studio album for summer 2020. A month later, Drake would drop two tracks: “When to Say When” and “Chicago Freestyle.” On April 3, 2020, Drake released “Toosie Slide,” the first official single from his upcoming material. He followed this statement up by releasing two songs with Future, “Life is Good” and “Desires,” on January 10, 2020, and January 31, 2020, respectively. In a Deceminterview with Rap Radar, Drake confirmed upcoming music. That week, a record-shattering seven songs from the album placed in the Billboard Hot 100’s top ten. Upon release, it set the single day album streaming record on both Apple Music and Spotify and broke the first-week streaming record for an album in a mere three days. It featured 25 tracks and was released as a double album. Drake went on to release his fifth studio album Scorpion on June 29, 2018. “Nice for What” would go on to replace “God’s Plan” as the #1 song on the Hot 100. After “God’s Plan” debuted and spent 11 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard, Drake released “Nice For What” to continue the streak of a successful 2018. In the following weeks Drake would make a song with his friend BlocBoy JB called “Look Alive”, the song would debut at #6 on the billboard and would mark Drake’s 23rd Top 10 Billboard hit. On January 19, 2018, Drake surprisingly released a two-track EP, which was titled Scary Hours. Following the release of Views, Drake announced the release of his new “playlist,” More Life, on OVOSOUND Radio. ![]() ![]() His fourth studio album, Views, was released on April 29, 2016. Just months after that, he released a collaborative mixtape with American rapper Future, called What A Time To Be Alive. Two years later on February 13, 2015, Drake released If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. His third studio album, Nothing Was The Same, was released September 24th, 2013. The album has been certified 4x platinum as of March 29, 2016. His second album, Take Care, was released in November 2011 and ultimately led to celebration with his crew for earning his first Grammy Award (for Best Rap Album). Reportedly three major labels were courting him in “one of the biggest bidding wars ever.” Even a New York Times article began, “If there was a time in hip-hop before Drake, it’s tough to remember.” Drake finally signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment label in 2009 and his debut album Thank Me Later came out the following year. During this period, Drake also made a slew of guest appearances on tracks by artists from DJ Khaled to JAY-Z.Įven before the release of his debut album, Drake was being referred to by Billboard as “the biggest buzz” and “possibly the most sought-after artist” in hip-hop. These mixtapes got him the attention of Lil Wayne, and spawned the hit singles “Forever” and “Best I Ever Had,” the latter coming from his critically acclaimed mixtape So Far Gone. Drizzy put out three mixtapes from 2006 to 2009: Room for Improvement, Comeback Season, and So Far Gone.

![]() Either way, more Bruce as Ash is good to me!īut what do you guys think? Would you like to see more ASH VS. During a weekend at a cabin, Ash uncovered the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (Book of the Dead) and awoke something dark in the woods. ![]() Wander through The Fog as Ash and escape evil once more. While this time the chainsaw is not his to wield, Ash knows how to escape gruesome death. Well, let's hope! I loved that show, and felt it was a great continuation of the series (even if there's consensus it was a different timeline, technically). Ash Williams, the legendary hero from the Ash vs Evil Dead horror series, has entered the realm of the Entity. I know Bruce has said he is in retirement, but I feel like Ray and I could convince him There have been shows where they get cancelled but then they're picked up by another network. Well, I say, 'Never say never…Because the way things are going, I've been reading all these very terrifying things about our industry and just productions and things are being shelved and whatnot, so I honestly feel like never say never. He just needs a good couple of – one or two years of just like chilling in the woods and not having the Boomstick in his hands, and then he starts to crave it, and it'll come back.Īnother co-star, Dana DeLorenzo, who played the badass Kelly Maxwell, agreed: We could have had a bigger audience were we on a platform like Hulu or Amazon or Netflix, but because we were on this cable subscription, it really limited the audience…I was really looking forward to seeing where things were gonna go with the show, just because we had set up so many relationships. ![]() Here's what Campbell's co-star Ray Santiago (who played Ash's sidekick Pablo on the show) had to say in an interview with Chuck Loads of Comics on YouTube (which you can see in the embed at the top of the article): ![]() He may have lost a hand, but not his touch. And with many shows getting second lives on streaming (such as fan-favorite THE EXPANSE), now seems the ripe time to try to give the show a proper ressurection! Thirty years later, Ash Williams - demon hunter par excellence - is back to battle a new Deadite plague. However, with the show moving to syndication on streaming, many fans have discovered it and want it back. Afterward, star Bruce Campbell – who played the eponymous Ash Williams – said he's retired the character forever.

When the men on the boat give Walter some clementine cake that seems to be identical to the kind Walter's mother makes, Walter notices a travel itinerary on the wrapping of the cake. ![]() Walter's timing is terrible yet again, as Sean has already left the boat. Out at sea, Walter jumps out of the helicopter and into the shark-infested waters, where he nearly gets eaten but is pulled onto a postal boat at the last moment. The pilot of the helicopter is drunk, but he is wearing the distinctive ring that Walter spotted in one of Sean's picture. ![]() In order to find him, Walter tries to get on the postal helicopter that delivers mail along the coastline. Walter arrives in Nuuk, the capital city of Greenland, and meets a local bartender who tells him that Sean has already left by ship. When Walter decides that Sean must be in Greenland, he books a plane ticket there to find Sean. Meanwhile Cheryl, Walter's office crush, has an idea that they can use the other negatives as a clue to Sean's current location and track him down. Walter stalls his manager for time to locate it. The only problem is: the negative is missing. Renowned photographer Sean O'Connell has taken a series of photographs for the cover, and sends Walter the gift of a wallet to thank him for his work over the years, along with a negative of the photograph he wants to grace the cover. The magazine is downsizing and getting ready to produce their last-ever print issue. At work and in life, however, he is a mild-mannered doormat, who goes along with the stronger personalities in his life and fulfills his obligations dutifully. Walter, a negatives assets manager at Life Magazine, has a colorful imagination, one in which he is always taking risks and getting into outrageous adventures. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cerny said several developers, including Epic Games' Tim Sweeney, told him that standard I/O speed of hard disk drives was now a limiting factor in pushing game development. In the development of the PlayStation 5, a key issue was the length of loading times for games. This feedback was fed into the priorities for the console development team. This entailed regularly visiting Sony's first-party developers at two-year intervals to find out what concerns they had with shortcomings in Sony's current hardware and how such hardware could be improved in console refreshes or for the next generation. The lead architect of the PlayStation console line, Mark Cerny, implemented a two-year feedback cycle after the launch of the PlayStation 4. Mark Cerny, the PlayStation 5's chief architect Other features include the DualSense controller with haptic feedback and backward compatibility with most of the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games. The PlayStation 5's main hardware features include a solid-state drive customized for high-speed data streaming to enable significant improvements in storage performance, an AMD GPU capable of 4K resolution display at up to 120 frames per second, hardware-accelerated ray tracing for realistic lighting and reflections, and the Tempest Engine allowing for hardware-accelerated 3D audio effects. ![]() The two variants were launched simultaneously. The Digital Edition lacks this drive, allowing it to serve as a lower-cost model for those who prefer to buy games through digital download. The base model includes an optical disc drive compatible with Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. The PS5 is part of the ninth generation of video game consoles, along with Microsoft's Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, which were released in the same month. Announced in 2019 as the successor to the PlayStation 4, the PS5 was released on November 12, 2020, in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North America, and South Korea, with worldwide release following a week later. The PlayStation 5 ( PS5) is a home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Minecraft RT is a bit trickier to estimate, but it was stated to be 1080p running at high 30fps - 60fps, which once again matches 2080 / 2080 Super performance numbers.īased on the above I expect the PS5 GPU to at least match a 2070 Super, while the XSX will match a 2080 Super.Almost all PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games On a console design that was not completed with a 2 week old port, the XSX was matching a 2080 in Gears 5. ![]() RT performance is a unknown still, so I can't make any guesses based on that.Īnother point of comparison is the Gears 5 and Minecraft RT demos that were run a number of months back on XSX hardware. Thus, assuming RDNA 2 has zero IPC gain over RDNA 1 (which AMD has already said it does, but that is just confirmed for the PC parts, so lets assume the same IPC), the PS5 GPU should be equal to a 2070 Super in pure rasterization. The PS5 GPU is 10.28 TFLOPs so a straight 5% over the 5700 XT. You cannot directly compare Turning and RDNA, but looking at average gaming performance, the 5700 XT is 9.8 TFLOPs of RDNA 1 and beats the 2060 Super by roughly 8% or so. Assuming a 1950Mhz boost clock on the 2060 Super (which is around average and most models get you that) lands you at 8.5 TFLOPs. That still does not make it any less of a wrong one however. That is why in the Video I said the 2060S is likely a great comparative point for the PS5 GPU - not the same or exact same, but something where we will be using it in comparisons against the PS5 when it comes out. We cannot be more precise without having an unlocked PS5 game to test with (hopefully hitman 3 when that comes out as we have great contact with IO and they would tell us the exact GPU settings for that game I think). It is more of an informed guess based on what we saw of XSX GPU and our expectations for the scaling between the the PS 5 GPU and XSX GPU using our GPU ladder. In that case I chose the RTX 2060 Super for the Video because I confered with the Team about what GPU to use and we thought the 2070 S Was too close to the 2080 and we do not think the PS 5 GPU will be that high up there necessarily (but it is just a guess). GPUs that over of a large grouping of titles perform similar to eachother. "Regarding the 5700 Thing I put in the Video, that is a just a circa equivalent that I wrote in there - where you could also put in the 5700 xt if you wanted. ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking to Apple Music in 2017, he described himself as an alien, but the reality is more interesting: He’s of the earth, he’s here, he’s now. Guess he had to find something to do with the free time. After the massive success of 2017’s Luv Is Rage 2, Uzi announced that he’d deleted all works in progress and was retiring, only to surface in 2020 with the almost mythically anticipated Eternal Atake, following the album about a week later with a deluxe edition that doubled its length. ![]() Like Thug, Uzi is a distinctive rapper (the stage name was given, not taken), but the key to his sound is melody, mixing post-trap rumble with the candied hooks of pop punk and neon surfaces of EDM for a style that splits the starkness of modern hip-hop into prismatic colour. But definitely not a rapper in the traditional sense.īorn Symere Woods in North Philadelphia in 1994, Uzi first started rapping to one-up a classmate, quickly making the leap to national relevance through features with Young Thug and Migos while building a tight-knit collective of producers and collaborators, known as Working on Dying, at home. That he could turn a line as bleak as “Push me to the edge/All my friends are dead” (“XO TOUR Llif3”) into a sing-along only made him more vital-here was a guy feeling the pain and packaging it in style. Where previous generations of rappers leveraged influence through the boardroom (JAY-Z: “I’m not a businessman/I’m a business, man”), Uzi represents a generation fluent in fashion and social media, not just a recording artist but a kind of creative director whose personality and sense of world-building comes through almost as loudly as the music.
