On Sept. 30, Kid Cudi released his eighth solo album, “Entergalactic,” alongside a Netflix animated rom-com of the same name. A Cudi fan since middle school, I’m glad to be afforded the opportunity to check in on my fellow Clevelander while carrying out research for this review. Out of the album’s 15 tracks, “Livin’ My

If you’re looking for an escape, don’t look up “Don’t Look Up” on Netflix. Directed by Adam McKay — whose previous releases include “The Anchorman” and “Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” — the film initially had a good premise for comedy gold: a comet is definitely going to hit earth, so how will

Rap undeservedly gets a bad rap. People sometimes associate rap music with drugs, violence, the degradation of women, sexual exploitation, etc., but this blanket stereotype for an incredibly diverse and culturally important genre of music is unfair.

In early December, as finals begin to emerge on the horizon, Scene writers take off their headphones, pause the music and look back at what they’ve listened to throughout the year. Each writer picks their personal 20 best albums, and 2018 had no shortage of albums to choose from. Old names returned to the scene,

I have this playlist that I listen to late at night when I’m stitching my way back and forth, back and forth across the quad. “Bad Religion,” by Frank Ocean. “Acid Rain,” by Chance the Rapper. “Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare),” by Kid Cudi, featuring MGMT and Ratatat. Hands buried in my pockets, I pull it

It’s really no wonder the mash-ups on the Kanye Wes Anderson Tumblr fit together so naturally. Despite the apparent diametrical stylistic opposition between the two, both musician Kanye West and filmmaker Wes Anderson create their individual works in the post-postmodern mindset of New Sincerity. Eschewing the cynicism and irony of the previous generation, the two embrace the

This past Sunday, Jaden Smith was bestowed the glorious ‘worst actor’ Razzie award for his ‘performance’ in the mind-blowingly terribad film “After Earth.” Now, I don’t know much about film, but I do know something about Jaden Smith — from his Twitter account. The young man is famous for his, er, philosophy. In case you’re
