I recently uncovered an entire archived VICE mini docu-series from 2016 on celebs and high profile folks from around that time. Alex G was featured on the series' eighth episode, detailing his early years growing up in pennsylvania and his family's musical influence on his career, as well as his rise professionally as a touring musical artist.

seems this was originally uploaded here a decade ago when it first aired, but most of the series has been taken off youtube and isn’t publicly available anymore. just reposting so it can live in the sub in perpetuity without being lost to time.

ps: I only put the "live performances" flair cause it wouldn't let me post without one.

I recently scrounged a whole archived 2010's VICE docu-series on celebs and high profile folks from around then. Tinie Tempah was featured on the show's sixth episode.

I know most people consider him pop since crossing over with Pass Out (which is talked about) but this episode was more or less in promotion of the Junk Food mixtape as his return to form in grime and explaining how mainstream success alienated him from the rest of UK rap.

however you feel about him, its still an insightful watch and most of the series is long gone, so sharing for the folks who care to check it out. bless

I recently found an entire archived 2010's VICE docu-series on celebs and high profile folks from around that time. Ferg was the show's third episode.

It basically details part of his childhood growing up in Harlem, his roots in art & fashion influenced by his pops and his come-up in hip-hop with Rocky and ASAP. most of the series is gone and no longer publicly available, so sharing with fans who might've missed it.

recently dug up an entire archived 2010's VICE docu-series on celebs and high profile folks from around that time. Push was the first episode, so sharing with fans who might've missed it.

I was thinking about this the other day. does anybody else wonder if the band is fixing to drop another remix/reinterpretation project? It kind of feels like they’ve set a precedent for it at this point (from linking with Mall Grab for “Share a View,” to the reworks on “New Heart Design” with BADBADNOTGOOD after Glow On). Feel like Never Enough is due for it's own version and something that would help justify a second world tour.

If they do, I’m curious who folks think they might collaborate with or what direction they might go this time around? Personally, I’d love to just see a full remix with different artists/producers across the whole album. If they stick to the three-track format with a single collaborator/group, the following is who I could picture them doing something with. would love to hear other folks ideas or predictions on it too.

• 1. Hayley Williams - they've already worked together (she sang backups on "Seein Stars" and Brendan directed a few paramore videos). Paramore also did something similar with their last album. This feels the most obvious but I'm not mad at it either. seems like a good fit on paper, plus she just went solo.
• 2. Thundercat - bass virtuoso and total wildcard musically but also has roots in thrash and hardcore (him and his brother played in suicidal tendencies for years before blowing up). could bring something super unexpected to the table.
• 3. Orville Peck - I'd be interested to hear his “countrified” take on some of the tracks (also has a past in a noise punk band).
• 4. Rod Lee - legendary DJ who kinda help put baltimore club on the map outside of the d.m.v (partly due to his hit, Dance My Pain Away being used on the The Wire). would be sweet if they just kept it super homegrown and local by going full b-more on a project, while giving flowers and showing respect to the innovators and legends of the genre and their hometown.
• 5. David Bryne - now I'm just being bold as fuck, but honestly I could picture it under the right circumstances. A legacy collab like this, is definitely within the realm of possibility since the turnstile has become super high-profile over in the last few.
