The producers of #BadBunny’s #SuperBowl halftime show explain the wedding sequence:
“The engaged couple wound up with 15 extra wedding announcements, so they sent most to local businesses with the hope of maybe getting some free wedding perks. But the last invite? They were like, ‘Why don’t we send one to Bad Bunny? Lots of people send wedding invitations to him, so why not?’ Bad Bunny’s office reached out, and they thought, ‘Amazing, maybe we’ll get a signed photo.’ But they were invited to a Zoom call, which they thought was kind of weird. On the Zoom call, they learned the plan: Bad Bunny was inviting them to get married at the Super Bowl.
"The couple had planned to make Bad Bunny’s ‘Baile Inolvidable’ their first dance. And so, they went from planning to play it at their wedding to being on the Super Bowl with him live, singing it. And with the bonus prize of Lady Gaga being the wedding singer as well."

He plans to release his 'best' album next year and has produced a song for his dream artist ‼️
Man this is what pisses em off about these dudes. They make the most bullshit and low vibrational rap music then want to turn around and say rap music doesn’t inspire people. Some of the best rap music has inspired whole generations of people it’s just not the rap music you choose to make or listen to.
Activision statement on AI usage in Black Ops 7:
"Like so many around the world, we use a variety of digital tools, including AI tools, to empower and support our teams to create the best gaming experiences possible for our players. Our creative process continues to be led by the talented individuals in our studios.”
Danny Brown wishes that he had the chance to collaborate with SOPHIE.
In a recent interview with Billboard, he explains that she also inspired the decision behind his album title: “I wanted to work with SOPHIE—but then I saw Vince Staples had already worked with her on [2017’s ‘Big Fish Theory’]. And I was like, ‘I can’t do it now’—cause, you know, hip-hop originality! I’m bitin’ now. But now I’m over that. I wish I had just worked with SOPHIE….and based off that, I was like, ‘The name of the album is Stardust.’”
'Stardust' carries SOPHIE's influence across its fusion of hyperpop and rap. The album is out now.

Danny Brown reacts to recent talks of hip-hop “dying” after no hip-hop songs appeared in the Top 40 for the first time since 1990:
"Hip-hop don’t belong there anyway! The dopest s—t was never on the charts, so that means that there’s a lot of dope s—t around. To me, that sounds like a reset is happening, sounds like a cleansing." (via Billboard)
these four albums being recorded all at the same time and in the same studio always fascinated me
what i would do to be a fly in 1998 buzzing around getting to hear all the magic being made
Basically just a massive overreaction/acquiescence to the unfounded complaints that there's too much utility in the game.
We're making major alterations to the fundamental flow of the game for the sake of "increasing the importance of gunplay" without weighing or considering what that gunplay actually manifests as in VAL.
Problem #1, who is this even helping? We're nerfing a class that's already underplayed in ranked. At the pro level this is going to create more problems than it solves; see problem 2.
Problem #2, when people say they want more gunplay, what they mean is they want more rifle duels. This change will actually net-decrease the importance of rifle play because Odin/op/judge have just received the biggest buffs they've ever had and will be mandatory buys for teams who understand how to properly tax util using untradeability layers.
This decision feels like one made for the appeasement of a few vocal community pillars, rather than one made based on a deep understanding of where or how it will affect the quality of the game.
