Migos have secured their spot as  rap kings by constantly revamping their sound and reorienting their goals to set themselves apart from their peers. “We all got one mission,” Offset says on the newest episode of The Drop-In. “To stay on top.” Or, as Quavo puts it, “Always add an extra string to your guitar.”

This morning I woke up, drank a glass of warm water with lemon, did 30 minutes of breathwork and my sun salut—okay, this morning I woke up, rolled over, checked my phone, saw a text from midnight that read, “just search Sqirl on the timeline,” searched Sqirl on the timeline, and spent 20 bleary-eyed minutes

This is not to suggest that Mahomes didn’t capitalize on any of the perks afforded a megastar Super Bowl winner. For instance, the day that the Chiefs paraded their Super Bowl trophy through Kansas City, Post Malone happened to be playing in town. What better way to extend the party? “We didn’t buy tickets,” Mahomes

“I would be playing my piano.” Finally, I couldn’t wait. Here was a question that lingered in my psyche for decades. I said, “General Giap, was Black Lang real or myth?” The general said, “He is real. And he is alive.” Nguyen Quang Thieu (a poet, painter, and translator who had attended college in Cuba)

So in 2019, Samberg shot the seventh season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He said yes to co-hosting the Golden Globes, and also to going out on a Lonely Island concert tour. He made a sublimely weird “visual poem” about Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco with Akiva Schaffer, too, under the logic that their most seemingly bird-brained

In 2016, Coel was sexually assaulted by strangers, after being drugged while meeting a friend for a drink, like Arabella, the night before a deadline. The details of the incident aren’t necessary, they’re painful, yet Coel chose to share them with the world in 2018, when she became the first black woman to deliver the

“[Jack] was real innocent, real quiet,” Mizrahi said of that 1992 meeting. “But also wanted to learn the culture and anything that came his way.” In short order, Jack was attending balls, his first coming two weeks later when Mizrahi debuted the House of Mizrahi. Jack quickly went from being the house’s photographer—using the skills

The lyrics: “You only want me for my body.” Imagine saying that to somebody! I would literally never say that to anybody. That’s what is so beautiful about it. “How Simple” by Hop Along This song was on our playlist on tour, so I could sing every word of it. This whole record is amazing.

His aspirations—whether they be in music, TV, politics—are all integrated into who he already is. There is no big plan. He sits on the board of Atlanta’s High Museum of Art and drops in on classes at Morehouse not out of ambition but because, to him, it’s the right thing to do. His guiding passions

“I was, like, not totally sure it was done,” Brady says, “and then it was out, and I was like, ‘It’s done, I guess.’ ” Les laughs. “When it’s out, it’s definitely done,” she says. In person, they’re visually similar—pale skin, lots of bitchin’ blond hair—but Les (on a couch, in a zipped-up black hoodie)

Visit Mendocino Fine food, fine wine, and an even finer coastline; Mendocino County, located about halfway between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Oregon border, remains one of our favorite destinations in recent memory.

Brooklyn drill generally, and Pop Smoke’s music in particular, follows a now-typical pattern for regional rap subgenres, growing and splintered off from their source material. See the way Los Angeles G-funk was repurposed by rappers in Texas, the way up-tempo bounces from the Bay Area were meshed with Detroit’s electronic music traditions when they reached

As she captured images of her fellow protesters, she felt a connection to them: She’d grown up in Harlem, where her parents ran a successful beauty-supply store. They’d come to New York from West Africa in 1992, and through their acumen and sheer tenacity, they found a way to send her to Horace Mann, the

“I’m having a ball,” Yahya Abdul-Mateen II says, not for the first time today. It’s early March, the handshake is still a standard greeting instead of a bygone custom, and the two of us are sitting in a classroom at the New York Academy of Art, studying a Still Life 101 setup: a pitcher, an

Right. After 9/11, he came out of retirement because people wanted to ask him, “What do you say to a child when there’s a disaster?” And Mister Rogers said, “Well, in a disaster my mother used to always say, ‘You can always look for the helpers.’” So my question, right now, is: Who are the

In his new song “Wash Us in the Blood,” Kanye West makes reference to a being I’m not sure we’ve ever properly met: “They wanna sign a fake Kanye / they tryna sign a CalmYe.” Calmness might not crack the top 100 reasons Kanye’s fans love and adore him. Yes, his hyperactivity has occasionally gotten
