Anderson.Paak & Knxwledge Make Their Late Night TV Debut As Nxworries with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson-assisted "What More Can I Say?" Performance Video (The Tonight Show)

"Following the release of their debut album YES LAWD! in October, Nxworries makes their TV debut with a live performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night. The duo [performed] their song, "What More Can I Say?" off of YES LAWD! backed by a string quartet arranged by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. The performance can be viewed online on NBC's website now," reads a fragmented chuck of a Wednesday morning press release I received from Duncan Will at Orienteer (formerly Liberal Arts and Life or Death PR). Anderson.Paak & Knxwledge made their collective late night TV debut on a special Valentine's Day episode of The Tonight Show alongside Ice Cube's Fist Fight co-star Charlie Day and socialite Kendall Jenner. I have to admit, "What More Can I Say?" was entirely unlike anything I had ever previously seen on late night TV; playing out more like a live-shot music video than your run-of-the-mill pre-recorded late night performance. Anderson.Paak started out sprawled across a living room-esque couch in what very well could have been a pair of pajamas, while an unknown female stomped on stage and swiftly threw a pair of panties (seemingly not hers) onto his chest. She begrudgingly sits down alongside .Paak on the couch as Knxwledge begins to artfully build "What More Can I Say?'"s back-beat on an MPC anchored by The Notations' similarly-titled 1973 CRA Records single, "What More Can I Say?" backed by a Miguel Atwood-Ferguson-helmed string section seated behind the elaborate scene.

Not even a mere minute into Nxworries' riveting performance, a second white-knuckled woman (maybe the owner of said panties) rapidly marches her way in and throws a drink right into Anderson.Paak's face. He adamantly attempts to sing his way back into their good graces for the remainder of "What More Can I Say?" to no avail—until Knxwledge rises from his chair, hands each woman a red long-stemmed rose, and saunters off into the distance with both of them! Anderson.Paak remains on the couch head in hands, seemingly befuddled, and doesn't even manage to break character, as Jimmy Fallon excitedly announces, "YOOOOOOOO, Nxworries! YES LAWD! is available now," amidst a ripping and roaring crowd. Knxwledge's latest Hip-Hop standard-remixing release, WT.PRT10.8_ is currently available for streaming and downloading on his personal Bandcamp page, along with 78 additional like-minded releases; Anderson.Paak, fresh off a politically-charged 2017 GRAMMY's performance with A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes & Consequence, recently announced a proper full-length with his trusty backing band, The Free Nationals "droppin'" at an unspecified date later this year. Anderson.Paak & The Free Nationals are currently preparing to head out Bruno Mars' gargantuan 24K Magic Tour opening for 33 of a whopping 85 continent-spanning dates between 03.28-06.15.

"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...

[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...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
