Billy Corgan on the Kanye/Beck Situation: “I don’t care who it is, I would’ve knocked them out”

Posted on:

We all saw what happened when Beck won his Grammy for Best Album of the Year. Kanye walked off stage before making too big of a scene, but the message was clear, and we all knew what was going through ‘Ye’s head. But what would you have done if you were Beck? Smashing Pumpkins lead singer […] The post Billy Corgan on the Kanye/Beck Situation: “I don’t care who it is, I would’ve knocked them out” appeared first on Pigeons & Planes.

Watch Kid Cudi’s Appearance on “Comedy Bang! Bang!”

We saw Schoolboy Q take his turn on the couch, and this time Scott and Reggie get Kid Cudi as a guest. Watch a short clip above. Cudi is currently working on his album MOTM3.

Listen to ZelooperZ Cover Nirvana’s “Negative Creep”

Posted on:

While we were planning this Nirvana covers album, we reached out to ZelooperZ to do the cover art since we knew he was a talented visual artist in addition to being a dope rapper. He made the cover art for us (below), but to our surprise, he also sent this insane version of Nirvana’s “Negative Creep.” With brutal, punishing production […] The post Listen to ZelooperZ Cover Nirvana’s “Negative Creep” appeared first on Pigeons & Planes.

Video: Lucki Eck$ – “Boomin’”

Posted on:

Lucki Eck$ makes a hypnotizing kind of hip-hop. His music feels hazy, disconnected, and euphoric, and this video matches the vibe of Plu2o Nash’s beat and Lucki’s sedated flow nicely. Look out for more new music from Lucki soon, and if you haven’t downloaded his Alternative Trap mixtape yet, get it here.
