Drake’s Iceman landing this week, and it’s far from the first major record in music history to generate hype and excitement through an unorthodox marketing gambit Late last month, an enormous block of ice — roughly 25 feet high with each block weighing 300 pounds — appeared in a Toronto parking lot. “Danger Do Not Touch,” read a nearby sign. “This ice structure may break or collapse without warning, and falling ice or sharp fragments may cause serious injury or death. Do not touch or interact with the structure. Any contact with the structure is at your own risk.” Most…
As we inch closer to the final air date of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the host recruited his predecessor, David Letterman, for a very important task: to throw CBS property off the roof. Standing on top of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City, Letterman told Colbert, “I thought maybe tonight’s occasion would be a little sad, being the end of your run here, but this brings true joy to my heart. We are up here for the wanton destruction of CBS property!” That property included couches, Colbert’s office chair, several watermelons, and even a three-tiered congratulatory…
Fashion label sued rocker in September 2025 over the Chrome Hearts backing band, but voluntarily dismissed the copyright infringement lawsuit Thursday Luxury fashion brand Chrome Hearts has dropped their copyright infringement lawsuit against Neil Young and his similarly named backing band. In September 2025 —a few months after Young and his then-new band released their first album Talkin to the Trees — Chrome Hearts (the brand) sued Young and the Chrome Hearts (the band), claiming they never “granted a license” or gave Young “any form of permission to use intellectual property belonging to Chrome Hearts”; the fashion company has existed…

When Drake isn’t making six-leg parlays or DMing Kick streamers, I like to think he just spends his time in his Canadian mansion digging through YouTube’s hip-hop archives and passing around SoundCloud links with Chubbs and OB Obrien. (Sidenote: I don’t think I’ve seen proof of OB Obrien’s existence in at least three years, I’m gonna head up to the 6 and go on a frantic search for him like Jack Lemmon looking for his son in Missing.) There’s a lot to comb through and discuss on his new Parker-style revenge trilogy—Iceman, Habibti, Maid of Honour—but one of my takeaways…
“I’ve always had to work really hard for it,” Billy Eichner says in his hilarious, moving new audio memoir, Billy on Billy, out May 19. “Proving myself again and again and again… There was always someone out there who thought I was too something or not enough of something else. ‘He’s talking too much. He’s singing too loud. He’s too gay. He’s not gay enough.’” The book traces how Eichner overcame gatekeepers’ doubts by repeatedly carving out his own lanes, first making Billy on the Street into a cultural phenomenon, then escaping it to re-embrace his acting roots — eventually starring…

Police shut down a 100-person illegal rave in an abandoned old Argos store in East London last weekend. The city’s Metropolitan Police have confirmed details of the crackdown on their Met Engage site, saying that they attended to complaints of loud music coming from the building on Sandringham Road in Dalston at 8am on Sunday (May 10). The complaints came from two streets away, with two calls coming in saying the rave, or “unlicensed music event”, was causing disruption to local residents. Police estimated that there were “around 100 people within the venue” at the time of the calls, and after consulting the local…
Drake is back with his first solo album since 2023’s For All the Dogs… and his second, and his third. After months of teasing a new LP, Iceman, he revealed on a live stream that he had two more albums dropping last night, Habibti and Maid of Honour. All three arrived on schedule. He has also been hard at work shooting a string of music videos: During the show, he premiered several shorts that are largely set in his Toronto hometown, which trickled onto his YouTube page overnight. There are no less than seven new Drake videos below, and stay…
