In the many debates over what was the greatest album of the past decade, a record that is often cited along the likes of Kanye West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” or Kendrick Lamar’s “Good Kid, m.A.A.d city” as one of its landmark releases is Death Grips’ sophomore effort, “The Money Store” originally released on

Kanye West’s 2022 has been riddled with turmoil. Any followers of his Instagram account know that Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, Julia Fox and Kid Cudi are just a few of the names on West’s mind in recent weeks. Following months of delay for his tenth studio album, “Donda,” which was released in August, longtime fans

Over the last two decades, countless hip-hop/rap albums have been released for public consumption. Among these are albums that were received as being “decent” or “good.” This is not a bad thing, but some of these albums need to be seen as what they are: classics.

Here, I complete the opus I began last week of ranking Kanye West’s work. There’s no way to write this list without snubbing a few masterpieces and drawing a little controversy. Still, I’m confident that there’s no wrong way to go. The best Kanye album “The Life of Pablo” — It’s definitely tough to include

I was born in May of 2000 with two older siblings: an 11-year-old brother and a seven-year-old sister. By age five or six, my earliest memories of music involved crouching next to my brother as he used LimeWire to burn a blank CD full of blink-182, Usher and plenty of Kanye West. I got in

Last Friday, Notre Dame announced that Billy Joel would be performing in Notre Dame Stadium following in Garth Brooks’ footsteps as the second artist ever to perform in the legendary venue. While Scene offered up a number of Joel-related takes Monday, I’d like to offer a different response to the announcement — a humble suggestion as

“Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleans, out to California through the forests and the pines. Ah, take me with you, Jesus.” These are the lyrics to a song I listened to recently during a ride in an Uber to downtown South Bend. The driver enjoyed every bit of this loud music,

This past Saturday night, electro-folk and on-the-rise artist Maggie Rogers performed on one of the biggest stages any artist could hope to play: 30 Rockefeller Plaza’s Studio 8H. Also known as “Saturday Night Live.” I was not watching the show live, but as I was surfing Twitter late Saturday night, I noticed a series of
