Elvis, Angel Olsen, & Pop Music Has Always Been Dance Music

It's a mega 808s special about that good old country twang and that new age dance club mix that's invading the charts. New Country also isn't especially new, but remains a star making vehicle that across generations creates images as broadly marketable as Elvis and as spectacularly individualistic and talent driven as the great Angel Olsen. We rant about Baz Luhrmann's divisive new film, celebrate our half-year favorite of Angel Olsen's Big Time, and explore the curiously interlinked dance soundscapes of new Drake and Beyonce records (one of them is even pretty good).

Kendrick Lamar, Future, & Puffin On Zootiez with New Cypress Hill Doc

Complex hip-hop figures Kendrick Lamar & Future release thorny new albums full of strife and audience-challenging dynamics. After a five year break, we take our time with the complexities of Pulitzer Prize Winner Lamar's Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. Meanwhile, Future remains a problematic sales juggernaut with I Never Liked You. You know what's not problematic? Cypress Hill just smoking a lot of weed and inviting you to watch them doing that. That's what the new Cypress Hill documentary Insane in the Brain proposes, now showing on Showtime. We review all three works and give our takes. If we're wrong, we're not your saviors.

Vince Staples, Pusha T, & DAMN, It's Been Five Years

It's feasting season! Many of the year's biggest Hip Hop releases are landing within a few weeks of one another. First on the docket are two fantastic new releases from rappers who are at the height of their powers. Vince Staples' Ramona Park Broke My Heart is a pure vibe album soaking in sunny Long Beach beats, yet with the kind of interiority Staples is making his name on, in this greatly satisfying sort-of-sequel to his self-titled titular album from last year. Meanwhile, Pusha T does what Pusha T does best: creates brilliant rap songs about cocaine! And nothing else! With terrific production and features, It's Almost Dry is a finely crafted follow-up to 2018's Daytona. 2018? Seriously? Now imagine Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. (2017) is ringing in its fifth year of release. Damn is right. Ahead of Lamar's hotly anticipated new album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, we evaluate one of the masterpieces of our time.
