Kanye & Paul McCartney Recruit Rihanna for Second Collaborative Track, "FourFiveSeconds" (Roc-Nation)


While it's unclear to exactly what capacity at this point, but it seems as though Dirty Projectors frontman and guitarist Dave Longstreth was somehow involved in the writing/recording of Rihanna, Kanye & Paul McCartney's new single, "FourFiveSeconds;" according to a currently unsubstantiated report from Kanye's friend and long-time barber, Ibn Jasper, "Kanye's whole new album is co-produced with Paul McCartney... He decided to put Rihanna on ["FourFiveSeconds"] and put it on BOTH of their albums because they are both Roc-Nation" (reports which Rolling Stone have since shot down). In addition to Longstreth, "FourFiveSeconds" additionally features as-yet-unknown contributions from Mike Dean, Dalllas Austin, Elon Rutburg, and Noah Goldstein, as well as Ty Dolla $ign and Kirby Lauryen, both of whom previously worked with West-McCartney on "Only One." It's without a doubt the track Ty Dolla $ign was alluding to upon "Only One"'s initial release, which features "[himself], Rihanna, 'Ye and Paul [McCartney]," whose companion music video has apparently already been shot and is "gonna drop soon."


It's a sparse, acoustic-driven percussion-less almost Country-leaning track, which is quite the drastic departure for both Kanye & Rihanna, while "FourFiveSeconds" is likely closest to McCartney's meditative "White Album"-era material recorded with The Beatles. "FourFiveSeconds" (along with "Only One") could very likely end up re-appearing on Rihanna's long in-the-works Unapologetic (2012) follow-up or Kanye's reported Born In The USA-esque Yeezus follow-up, which may or may not be entirely co-produced by Sir Paul McCartney. "FourFiveSeconds" is of course, the second of what has previously been billed as "several" tracks Kanye & Paul McCartney, each musical legends in their own right, recorded together as recently as early 2014. Kanye will make an appearance during Ellen's week-long birthday celebration this upcoming Thursday, January 29th "to talk about his new song, new album, and extraordinarily "Good Life.'"

"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...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
