Chrissy Teigen Raps Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” In Funny Throwback Clip

Chrissy Teigen is always one for a hilarious antic or two. The model wife of singer John Legend has essentially made a second career out of her social media presence.

One thing we’ve learned over the course of Chrissy Teigen’s social media antics is that she loves to troll her husband, John Legend. We’ve seen it happen before, and now, we’re seeing it happen again albeit in a blast-from-the-past type of way.

Teigen uploaded an old video clip of herself and Legend that was filmed right before the singer’s 2018 Jesus Christ Superstar performance. In the clip, Teigen can be seen encouraging Legend before quickly spiraling into an off-the-cuff performance of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” where she’s really just yelling the lyrics at Legend’s face. It’s hilarious enough by itself, but it’s Chrissy caption that really brings thing up a level, and once more prove Teigen’s social media trolling savviness. She writes:

“a lot of people don’t know this but before this all started I was well on my way to discovering my talent for quickly-spoken words aka “rap” music. what was merely a source of entertainment for me growing up became more than just something I could listen to others do. I needed to spit for myself. The first time I got in the studio, my fingers and voice shook like a dog straight out of the bath, a sputtering car engine in a cold winter’s night. But I knew once I passed that moment of fear, the anxiety would turn into lyrics so poignant and beautiful that the world needed to hear. I used my new gift in every which way I could, sharing the sweet sounds and effortlessness even with a baby growing inside me. It was almost like the baby was lending me it’s small talent for rap as well – I was even better than before. Here is me (song written by me) performing for john before his role as Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar – a role that eventually lead to him getting the EGOT. there were no limits to what I was capable of. Maybe one day when this is all over we will meet again”

“We Keep Walking” by Foxy Leopard explores the quiet forces that lead us toward history

There is something unsettling about being on a journey that does not end when the destination is not assured. That tug is at the heart of Foxy Leopard’s cinematic alt-country sound on “We Keep Walking.” What looks like a simple step forward becomes a meditation on history, community, and the choices people make before they know the consequences.

The concept album Foxy Leopard released earlier tells the story of the last months before the American Civil War through the lives of common people, and the song is a turning point that takes a different turn from a typical historical song. It’s not zooming in on the war itself but on the unseen momentum building around normal families and communities.

Foxy Leopard dishes up alt-country with a cinematic edge, and “We Keep Walking” seems to be a particularly potent example of that style. This song has a forward motion that fits its theme, a driving pulse, and darker implications all the more apparent.

Lana Crow unveils a fun getaway for summer freedom on latest release “Japrisot”

Lana Crow‘s latest release, “Japrisot” is a song that feels carved from sunshine, open roads, and the call of the sea. Lana Crow’s sunny summer feel here is a perfect fit. The song takes inspiration from The Lady in a Car with Glasses and a Gun, and while it has a playfully dramatic touch, its energy is squarely aimed at adventure. Right away, the attitude is set in the lyrics, “I stole your car, I bet you weren’t prepared for this. I am driving off. To the sea, to the joy you can never know. It’s cheeky, it’s bold, it’s just right for the song’s freewheeling summer vibe.

“Japrisot” musically has the feel of a classic pop tune, with a bass line that serves as an especially enjoyable foundation for the guitar. Lana’s vocal texture is another appealing element, her breath control and warmth are cool, giving the song a playful drama without overwhelming its breeziness.

Lana Crow keeps the track moving with lyrics about speed, excitement, and the rush of taking control, the feeling of movement goes on. I’m driving fast, the rush of hitting the gas, it feels so hot, it makes me feel like a badass, this is what I call freedom. The song doesn’t just talk about a sunny day, it gives the heat, the road, and the sea something bigger, something that’s part of an escape.
