I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’ll do it until I get there 

Sydni Brooks | Tuesday, November 10, 2020

While watching “Grey’s Anatomy” in quarantine over the summer, as every decent pre-med student should (Yes, I’m calling you out if you don’t watch Grey’s.), “Street Lights” by Kanye West played at the end of season five episode 10. I know Kanye is quite controversial, but for the moment, I ask we separate the art

Straight fire: Rap’s best new releases

Ryan Israel | Thursday, September 24, 2020

It’s 2020, the world is on fire, they killed Pop Smoke, Kanye leaked his contract, Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper released a devotional love song, Bobby Shmurda and Drakeo the Ruler are still in jail, Kendrick Lamar is M.I.A. and if it’s a hit, it’s probably a TikTok hit. But rap music hasn’t stopped.

Commencement 2020: Four years in review

Ryan Israel and Mike Donovan | Friday, May 15, 2020

It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

  With four years gone, now our senior Scene writers share their collegiate swan song. These songs make up the soundtrack to a collection of memories — some vivid, some faded — and they capture the essence of what Scene is often about: the people and the music.   “Aphasia” – Pinegrove By Senior Scene

Some of us just want to be loved

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, April 22, 2020

Fiona Apple just wants to be loved. She tries to say as much on the first cut of “Fetch the Bolt Cutters:” “I want somebody to want / and I want what I want and I want / You to love me.” And it’s love she’s received, from critics across the board, the most lavish

Lil Uzi Vert saves the world

Ryan Israel | Thursday, March 19, 2020

The year is 2050, and after 30 years of trials and tribulations, intense social and political reform, scientific development and the abolition of country music, society has reached a state of perfection. Climate change has been reversed, diseases (and viruses) cured, poverty eliminated and war eradicated. Sweeping advancements and revolutionary ideas have propelled all of

‘Waves’ is the first Gen-Z masterpiece

Jake Winningham | Thursday, January 30, 2020

“Love is a four-letter word, and so is hate.” Most movies avoid including their thesis statement as a piece of dialogue — most of those that are so forward about their intentions can’t find a way to stick the landing. “Waves,” the best film of 2019, isn’t like most movies. Following the trials of an

Kanye West’s ‘Jesus is King’ draws thought, ire at Notre Dame

Matthew Kellenberg | Tuesday, December 3, 2019

Kanye West’s latest album, “Jesus Is King,” is a deeply spiritual, if equally controversial, project. Religion is a common theme in West’s music, from his 2004 song “Jesus Walks,” to his controversial “I Am a God,” to his gospel-infused “Ultralight Beam.” But never has West’s focus been so defined as on his latest album, “Jesus

Kanye West “found Jesus” — but Bob Dylan did it first

Nia Sylva | Thursday, November 14, 2019

Kanye West has been born again. Anyone with even the slightest interest in mainstream culture knows this to be true. But that doesn’t make the release of his gospel-rap hybrid album, “Jesus is King,” any less noteworthy. The man once penned a song called “I Am A God.” He delivered lyrics that most Christians would

Jesus Christ and Kanye West

Ryan Israel | Tuesday, November 5, 2019

Three weeks ago, William Barr, the Attorney General of the United States and a prominent figure in the Trump administration, came to Notre Dame’s campus to deliver a speech at the law school. In his speech, Barr emphasized the importance of upholding Judeo-Christian values in our increasingly secular society, saying, “I think we all recognize
