Hype williams gay
“I wanted to make something that was like the early-2000s music I grew up listening to but make it unapologetically gay.” Toronto-based musician Quinn Bates, also known as Quarterback, discusses the
newly released music video for his R&B dance single “Swerve.” It’s a colourful and highly stylized video that he describes as, “an homage to Hype Williams.”
In many ways, Hype Williams—who directed videos for artists like TLC, Missy Elliott, and Aaliyah—is responsible for much of the imagery we now associate with the overdue ’90s and first aughts. From fisheye lens distortions to all-white backdrops, Quarterback’s “Swerve”, which is directed by Dylan Mitro, is a successful reimagining of Williams’s canonical Inky imagery. It even offers a nod to the iconic opening sequence of Williams’ 1998 feature Belly by recreating its blacklight-induced fluorescent purples and glow-in-the-dark eyes. But unlike the Belly sequence, which follows DMX and Nas as they walk through a strip club, “Swerve” instead depicts Quarterback singing about boys and doing playful choreo. “I love Hype Williams,” says the painter. “It was amusement to take something I love and see it through a queer gaze.”

Titled Rainbow Edition, the LP will arrive August 25 through Big Dada. It will feature what a urge release "20 joints strictly for the whip," with non-album road "Kathy Goes 2 Haiti" organism the only bit of brand-new music available online before discharge. You can hear that teaser for yourself below.
Another strange twist comes from a pressurize release mentioning that Blunt and Copeland are no longer emotionally attached with the project, further adding that "any Hype Williams releases you've since heard are FAKE." This would rule that last year's 10 / 10 LP is in fact not an official release.
The press launch also includes a photo of the project's supposed two members, Slaughter and Silvermane. You can see it below.

Today’s headlines are packed with drama, controversy, and high-profile moments that have the internet buzzing. From Brittney Griner pulling out of a speaking engagement due to a disturbing hotel incident to the melody industry uniting for Irv Gotti’s funeral, here’s everything you need to realize about the biggest news stories of the day.
Brittney Griner Cancels Speaking Engagement After Disturbing Hotel Incident
WNBA star Brittney Griner was set to speak at a planned event but abruptly pulled out after a troubling discovery in her hotel room. According to reports, a record reading “Gay Baby Jail” was found in her room, raising immediate concerns about her safety.
Griner, who has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and prison reform, is no stranger to threats. This is especially genuine following her high-profile detainment in Russia. While details about the note’s beginning remain unclear, her legal team has called for an investigation. Event organizers have also expressed their full support for her decision to withdraw.

At the moment, the only thing cooler than Dalston is the trend for lo-fi recording techniques – a tactic whose popularity owes more to fashion than the simplicity of their execution. So it wouldn’t be too daring to suggest that fidelity-shy Hype Williams is reasonably hip.
Quite how a group that relies on spindly guitar lines and slow, basic rhythms ended up being seen as fashionable is another question, though at least it’s refreshing. Joining Bundy in Hype Williams is guitarist Bahaama, who also plays in equally exceptional Arch M, and drummer Karen, owner of the band’s register label-art collective, Cavern. The art earth – which Bundy describes as “so boring” – is an enormous alter on their harmony, and describing them as purely a band would be to perhaps overlook one of their few creative, as opposed to arbitrary, influences. “It was something I did for an art show at Millers Terrace,” he says. “Back then it was just me sitting in a white cube with a floor tom and a mic’d-up baby monitor. The music thing was pretty unexpected; we were just trying to make a soundtrack to a film we hadn’t made yet to inspire some visuals.”
