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”

“Sing-Along Songs (Album Version)” finds new energy for Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends
Arn-Identified Flying Objects And Alien Friends returns to “Sing-Along Songs (Album Version),” with an album version more consistent with the track’s original creative vision. The song came out in 2024 and featured an unusual mix of upbeat music and ironic lyrics that contextualized dark times.
This new version keeps that distinction but makes the arrangement a little spikier, punkier, and more playful. It blends indie pop and pop punk, fusing punk and power pop with a dash of folk rock. The more upbeat music works especially well against the darker outlook at the heart of the writing, creating a tension that keeps the track interesting rather than too serious.
The most obvious change is the intro, which now feels more in line with the original direction the song was meant to take. Co-producer David Myhr’s background vocals add some lift to the second and third choruses. Another key revision is the updated production.
The different parts of the track have more room to play off each other, with a stronger cohesive overall presentation and a more consistent, clear mix from beginning to end. “Sing-Along Songs (Album Version)” feels like a deliberate refinement, and Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends take the new version and grind the song’s contrasting moods for a more polished, playful take on an already upbeat tune.

TaniA Kyllikki creates a powerful message of equality through “HUMAN”
You might not think a Facebook post could turn into a song, but for TaniA Kyllikki, “HUMAN” is a creative process that turns a moment of frustration into a thoughtful musical statement. This house/techno track explores race, difference, judgment, equality, compassion, and the labels people put on each other. Its artistic direction leans toward empathy, humility, love, and the shared humanity beneath those differences, rather than division.
The song was inspired by Kyllikki’s reaction to the hostility she saw online toward people of different races, cultures, and backgrounds. Kyllikki and her husband, producer and multi-instrumentalist Rynellton (Garry D. Hairston), chose music to express compassion and provoke thought, rather than meet hostility with more of the same.
Kyllikki gives a personal songwriting perspective, and producer/multi-instrumentalist Rynellton helps to translate the original words into a techno-house setting. “HUMAN” strikes a cool creative balance, blending dance-oriented genres with a serious topic and letting its message fit into a modern electronic structure rather than a simple statement.
This song began as words on the net, became Kyllikki, and turned into lyrics that had to be set to music. “HUMAN” is a testimony to TaniA Kyllikki’s ability to take an unsettling observation and turn it into a creative expression of connection. That defining quality is the choice to respond to division with music, a release that is both a reflection of its origins and a continuation of the artist’s expressive path.
