Mis-adventures of a Sh*t-talker: Earl Sweatshirt & Tyler, The Creator

Mis-adventures of a Sh*t-talker: Earl Sweatshirt & Tyler, The Creator - "WHOA" (Wolf Haley)

Maybe Earl Sweatshirt really was locked up in a Samoan juvenile detention center from 2010-12 or maybe he was just "chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool" for a while. Whatever the real deal was, Odd Future's 19-year-old protegee is back and after a string of non-album loosies, he's finally prepping his long-awaited sophomore album. Doris is rumored to feature production work from Pharrell, Flying Lotus, BADBADNOTGOOD, Samiyam, The Alchemist, Christian Rich... and guest vocals/instrumentals from Thundercat, Frank Ocean, DOOM, Om'mas Keith, Action Bronson, and his fellow Odd Future cohorts. Earl Sweatshirt quietly released "WHOA" late Monday-Tuesday night and eventually proceeded to break The Internet; Tyler, The Creator contributes a few ferocious bars, as well as directorial duties [Wolf Haley] for it's terribly AWESOME zonked out music video.

I mean, getting introspective and deep is cool and all... But I can really get into the rebellious, righteous, and almost Punk Rock nature of "WHOA" over comeback single "Chum." EarlWolf and friends are basically seen getting (w)reckless across a sun-drenched wasteland somewhere in California. Tyler, The Creator conjured up a hard-hitting synth-based beat, which has been under-laid behind a dancing middle-aged ballerina, members of Trash Talk, skateboarding pools, ~~super-fan~~ Lucas Vercetti, an interesting coat/boxers ensemble, and plenty of other blood-soaked hi-jinx. Earl Sweatshirt's own imprint, Tan Cressida (Columbia) plans to unleash Doris sometime this Summer [June?], while Tyler, The Creator's new album, Wolf -- complete with 3 different covers -- is out on XL Recordings April 2nd. Here's a few bars from Earl Sweatshirt, in closing: "Rapping hot as fuck in cattle brands, wearing flannel thongs / Grab a bong, momma and some food, beer, tag along... Pissed as Rick Ross' fifth sip off his sixth lager."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
