Oneohtrix Point Never And The Weeknd’s ‘No Nightmares’ Video Is A Surreal Journey Through A Dream
The CGI-animated visual trails the recently released LP ‘Magic Oneohtrix Point Never.’ …

Oneohtrix Point Never’s Daniel Lopatin released his brooding album Magic Oneohtrix Point Never back in October and it featured some big-name stars. Caroline Polachek lent her vocals on “Long Road Home” and The Weeknd hopped on the dreamy track “No Nightmares.” Following up the album’s release, Lopatin tapped a longtime collaborator to share an animated visual alongside his The Weeknd-featuring track.
Directed and animated by Nate Boyce, the “No Nightmares” visual takes the viewer on a journey through a dream-like state. It opens with a character waking up from a dream and astral-projecting into a different plane of consciousness. The Weeknd makes a brief CGI cameo in the visual, depicting his head as an old-fashioned movie projector.
Speaking about the visual in a statement, Boyce explained the concept behind the visual:
“Dan initially sent me an excerpt of ‘Fear Of The Inexplicable’ by Rilke as a prompt to start working on our idea of a debased animation. Abel and Dan traverse psychoanalytically charged scenarios and spaces that evoke a lurid mix of art and architectural references. Eventually I started to associate the implications of the Rilke poem to the biblical story of the Binding of Isaac, an anxiety inducing story I hated as a kid that became a subtext for the latter half of the piece. Despite the fact that Abraham is thwarted by divine intervention, I was terrified by his incomprehensible zealotry and willingness to sacrifice his own child, who I identified with. This story ensured my eventual atheism, but also my ongoing fascination with how these archaic stories, symbols, and motifs have continued relevance even now, and in many ways still structure our experience. So, as it happens in the animation, this process of individuation through archetypal projection starts with heroic ideations that devolve into anxiety and fear, culminating in a carnivalesque mockery of the faith required to confront these fears.”

Remy Ma’s Onstage Moment Has Fans Speculating About Papoose and Claressa Shields Drama

Remy Ma is not one to shy away from what’s on her mind, and her recent performance was a testament to that. The Bronx rap legend joined forces with Trey Songz and Connie Diiamond for a high-energy performance of their “Ghetto & Ratchet (Remix)” on Thursday night. But it wasn’t only the high-energy delivery that was making mouths move in the crowd, it was one specific lyric that has the internet buzzing. Remy Ma says in the OG song, “Fk wantin’ ya na, I take him.” * But she added a little more bite to her latest performance, audaciously changing it up to, “If I want ya n**a, I’ll take him.” *
The energy instantly shifted in the room as soon as those words slipped from her lips, and fans were left wondering. Rumors and speculation about infidelity have surrounded it for months as the couple’s relationship came under public scrutiny. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, the tension has been impossible to miss. And now, with this lyric change, plenty of fans are convinced Remy Ma is doing just that. The reactions poured in on social media. Some fans were quick to read between the lines, interpreting the lyric as an obvious shot.
“Y’all know that was the line in that song right ,” wrote one user, while others directly questioned the intention of the performance. On the contrary, there are also some who couldn’t help but root her on, praising the confidence and fearlessness that Remy Ma displayed on stage. However, the biggest takeaway, perhaps, is that Remy Ma is still committed to her brash persona. Be it back through barb-laden lyrics or just the commanding way she runs a crowd, she knows how to seize a moment. Remy Ma ain’t losing her status as one of hip-hop’s wildest mouths.

Trina’s Husband, Benjamin “Swurv” Kearse, Arrested for Battery Following 2023 Altercation

It appears storm clouds may be brewing in Trina’s personal life. It has been reported today that her man, Benjamin “Swurv” Kearse, has been arrested for battery following an incident nearly two years ago in Miami. Though Trina is widely lauded as a pioneer in hip-hop, this unfortunate circumstance casts a light on some struggles in her family life. A police report obtained by TMZ Hip Hop states the incident happened in July 2023 and started off as a seemingly harmless disagreement. It was a pedestrian “in a crosswalk at stop sign.”
Tensions flared when the man hit the trunk of Kearse’s car as Kearse got to the crosswalk in his black Dodge Charger, the report says. What happened next for his was even more troubling. Kearse was reportedly upset and called the man over, and it seemed he was trying to confront him. The pedestrian listened, apparently willing to resolve it. But Kearse reportedly lost his cool before the man could explain what he was doing there. It is to be determined whether their exchange concluded at that point or if things simmered down in the interim. Well, the situation unfortunately didn’t end there. Later, Kearse allegedly located the pedestrian at a nearby residence.
The constant confrontation eventually resulted in the battery charge, bringing legal woes to the rapper’s home. This ordeal may be especially difficult for Trina, as she’s no stranger to personal loss and public scrutiny. The Miami rap legend faces another chapter of hard times as her husband works through the legal system. Though more details about the incident are scarce, the arrest has ruffled feathers in hip-hop and tabloid circles. Trina’s fans, who have long embraced her strength and authenticity, are wishing her peace amid the chaos.
