LCD Soundsystem, "oh baby"

Director: Rian Johnson Release date: October 1 Why it's great: I clicked on this LCD Soundsystem video fully expecting to hate it, but the star power of Sissy Spacek and David Strathairn, plus the blockbuster filmmaking of Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) won me over with a story of teleportation and grisly murder. Also, those pencil-on-paper shots at the beginning are like visual ASMR, and the song from the unretired Jay Z of hipster dance music ain't half bad either.

“Stop Trying To Be God” Travis Scott *Featuring Philip Bailey, James Blake, Kid Cudi and Stevie Wonder on harmonica

Travis Scott dropped a music video for his new song, "Stop Trying to Be God," from his latest Astroworld album on Tuesday, and it is definitely interesting, to say the least. Not only does it feature James Blake, Kid Cudi, and Stevie Wonder, but Scott's girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, appears in it, as well, as — wait for it — the Virgin Mary. Yep, Jenner is shown covered in gold paint while holding a lamb, and that's just one of the many biblical references in the video. Scott is also shown baptizing fans in one of the scenes, as well as walking through the street with a herd of sheep. You just have to watch the whole thing for it to make sense.

God’s Plan by Drake

Drake continues to stay ahead of the hip hop game with his multi-genre, stylistic music. “God’s Plan” made number 1 on the Top 100 Billboard hits and stayed there for 11 weeks, making “God’s Plan” Drake’s longest-leading Hot 100 number 1. This catchy single has already gone 7X platinum, and being the icon figure that he is, Drake was given close to a one million dollar budget for the music video. Every penny he was given was spent, but not exactly on what you’d expect.
