Hulu — two of Tupac Shakur’s cousins recount, in chilling detail, how they first heard the titular classic.They were hanging in an Atlanta hotel room with the late rap icon on Halloween 1993, just after Shakur shot two white off-duty cops. Law enforcement was standing by in the hallway.“But Tupac — he’s calm,” Billy Lesane said, recalling his weed-smoking cousin before his arrest.
“He was, like, in a peaceful trance, but I can hear the cops outside the door. Suddenly he says, ‘Yo, wait a minute, I want everybody to hear my new song!’”The charges against Shakur were dropped — the cousins maintain that one of the officers pulled a gun on Shakur first, after he confronted them about harassing a black man — and “Dear Mama,” a touching tribute to the hip-hop legend’s mother, Afeni Shakur, went on to become his first Top 10 hit in 1995.
And in 2010 — 14 years after his 1996 murder, at age 25 — the Spinners-sampling ode was inducted as only the third rap song in the Library of Congress Recording Registry.It’s a true testament to the impact that Shakur’s mother had on her son, with whom she was pregnant while in prison as a senior member of the Black Panther Party.Arrested as one of the Panther 21, put on trial after being accused of planning coordinated attacks in New York City in 1969, Afeni, with no legal training, represented herself in court, and did so fiercely. She was acquitted, along with the rest of the group, in 1971.
“Tupac was conceived during the worst part of my life — I was on trial for my life,” says Shakur in a “Dear Mama” interview conducted before her 2016 death. “Tupac stayed in my womb through hell.
And the Black Panther Party helped me, number one, to respect who my son was, simply because of his birth. A

Lior Phillips There’s no formula to emerging from the seemingly endless sea of available music in the past twenty or so years — and yet from kwaito on, South African electronic music has done just that, both directly and indirectly. In the past five to ten years, two offshoots of house music have dominated South African airwaves: gqom and amapiano. The former, pronounced by replacing the “gq” with a Zulu tongue click, was born in the clubs of Durban and embraces a darkness buried in house music’s repetition. The name itself translates to something akin to “bang,” but the Zulu pronunciation demonstrates the more direct, aggressive tone. One of the foremost proprietors is DJ Lag, a producer from Clermont township who blends Zulu chants with eerie, slow-burning synth patches, hard-hitting bass, and rough-hewn rhythms. Tracks like “Ice Drop” (2017) and the 2021 single “Raptor” are still clearly designed to get crowds moving at the club, but there’s a wide-eyed intensity and weight there as well.

James Wan‘s “Aquaman” was far and away the most successful film of the old DCEU, making $1.15 billion at the global box office. So it’s safe to expect that its sequel, “Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom,” due in theaters this Christmas, will also take in a huge haul.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jason Momoa told Variety at Sundance that he co-wrote the first story treatment for “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” the upcoming Warner Bros. and DC tentpole that is the sequel to 2018’s billion dollar-grossing “Aquaman.” “The beautiful thing [about ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’] is me and my partner wrote the first treatment for it and it was about a 50-page treatment, and a lot of it has to deal with me talking to the U.N. about what’s happening with the melting ice caps,” Momoa said at the time. “There’s no far off galaxy coming to destroy us or aliens from another place. It’s us ruining our planet. We need to get it together and save our home.”

McKinley Franklin editor The Coachella livestream on YouTube is the next-best thing to being there, and in some ways it’s even better: There’s no crowds, travel, heat or dust unless you want them, and you’ve got the best seat in the house. This Friday, the 22nd edition of Coachella will kick off with the first of two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. With fans anticipating a star-studded list of headliners like Bad Bunny, Blackpink and Frank Ocean, this year’s festival is the first that notably consists of a lineup of over 50% international artists. As in other recent years, Coachella 2023 will be available to stream online via its official YouTube channel on the first weekend — and the good news is that this marks the full time the second weekend will also have just an extensive slate of streaming instead of just select highlights. Livestreams are accessible on desktop, mobile or the YouTube app via Coachella’s official YouTube page. For the first time, six of the stages from the festival — instead of the usual three — will be accessible for streaming, starting April 14 at 4 p.m. PT (and continuing on April 21 at the same time for the festival’s second weekend). Following each day of festivities, Coachella’s YouTube will rerun video performances from the day prior.
