The duo performs ‘This Changes Everything’ from Glasper’s Grammy-nominated album, ‘F*ck Yo Feelings.’ …

In the music video for Robert Glasper‘s “This Changes Everything” from his Grammy-nominated album F*ck Yo Feelings, the accomplished producer goes for a stripped-down treatment, putting on an electric live performance in LA’s Leimert Park with guest rapper Denzel Curry. Beginning with Curry rapping from a mic stand and evolving into an all-out jam session, the video reflects the fluctuating energy of the original track and shows off the virtuoso skills of all parties involved.

In addition to being nominated for Urban Contemporary Album for F*ck Yo Feelings, Glasper also received a Grammy nod for “Better Than I Imagined” featuring H.E.R. and Meshell Ndegeocello in the Best R&B Song category. Meanwhile, 2020 saw the master pianist also join the jazz/hip-hop revival quartet Dinner Party along with saxophonist Kamasi Washington, multi-instrumentalist Terrace Martin, and DJ-producer 9th Wonder. Their single with Cordae and Snoop Dogg, “Freeze Tag,” was among Uproxx’s Best Songs of 2020.

As for Denzel Curry, the 25-year-old rapper announced his plans to retire after making three more albums — and threatening that they would be “bad” because of fans’ reactions to his previous music. However, it might prove to be more difficult for him than just saying it as tracks like “Live From The Abyss” and “Lil Scammer That Could” with Guapdad 4000 show just how good he can be.

Kanye West Questions Kim Kardashian’s Control Over North’s Name

HonkMagazine

Kanye West is once again in the spotlight, and this time, it’s not just about his music or fashion. He recently took to Twitter to express his frustrations about something personal, why his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, holds the rights to their daughter North West’s name. He shared a legal document that outlined the trademarks associated with North’s name, asking his followers how they felt about the situation. This revelation comes amidst ongoing efforts for parents to co-parent their four children. While Kanye and Kim have tried to appear united for their kids, it’s evident there have still been unresolved tensions between them since their high-profile divorce.

At the heart of this issue isn’t just about the trademark rights but also about who has control over North’s future. Kim, who has built a successful business empire using her family name, took these legal steps to safeguard North’s name as a valuable asset. However, Kanye feels left out of this decision and worries about his father’s rights. Also, it’s worth noting that North has recently been making more public appearances, especially related to Kanye’s VULTURES project. This has led to speculation that Kim’s move to secure the trademarks could be a way of managing how North’s name is used in upcoming projects and businesses.

This situation raises important questions about parental rights and how celebrity children are raised in the public eye. Should Kanye have had a say before these trademarks were secured? Is Kim simply looking out for North’s future? Or is this just another episode in the ongoing power struggle between two of the world’s most famous stars? This is not the last time we’ll hear about Kanye and Kim’s complex relationship and their ongoing efforts to navigate co-parenting.
