Ross

Diana Ross makes quite an entrance to the Pyramid stage’s traditional Sunday afternoon “legends” slot: she’s wearing a sequinned kimono dress swathed in what appears to be a cloud of chiffon, wearing an absolutely enormous purple fascinator on her head and singing I’m Coming Out. Her success feels like a forgone conclusion – success in the legends slot being reliant on having a large back catalogue packed with songs everyone knows, which Ross undoubtedly does: she goes straight from I’m Coming Out into My World Is Empty…

French Montana and Harry Fraud come together to deliver their latest collaborative album, Montega, with impressive features from Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Benny the Butcher, EST Gee, and more.Every track on Montega sounds theatrical as Harry Fraud laces the project’s beat to make each song sound luxurious and expensive, but still with roots from the trenches. These unique production choices also make every featured artist on the album flow in refreshing ways, like EST Gee finding his groove on the airy song “Keep it Real,” or…

‘You guys know that I’m 78 years old?” yells Diana Ross, should anyone watching be thinking their eyesight is playing tricks on them. Midway through 1980’s Chic-penned disco smash dunk Upside Down, she has turned the UK’s largest concert venue into a gigantic aerobics class, with the grinning septuagenarian singer as personal trainer. “I’ve still got the moves,” she beams.She has, and she’s making every second count in this twice delayed (owing to Covid) first UK tour in 15 years. She began this British visit with a…

In 2016, the Queen was canvassed for her favourite music to mark her 90th birthday, and her selections felt like those of a regular British nonagenarian: show tunes from Oklahoma!, Fred Astaire’s Cheek to Cheek, plus hymns, military marches – and Gary Barlow.These cheerfully middlebrow tastes are well catered for in Saturday evening’s Platinum Party at the Palace, a three-hour live music spectacular held on stages in front of Buckingham Palace and screened on BBC One from 7.30pm after the jubilee pageant through Whitehall…

Rick Ross is convinced “begging” will get you nowhere in life.The 46-year-old hip-hop mogul shared his thoughts via Instagram this week, claiming those who want handouts are “fucked up” and detached from reality. “I already know how it go. That’s why I go hard, because I know how it go,” he said in a video reshared by Akademiks on Tuesday. “You could be in a room full of the wealthiest mutherfuckas in the world and tell them, ‘I have nothing, I’m hungry.’ And they’re going to look at you and say, ‘Well what the fuck are…

The very tiny motion of a small star has revealed the presence of a super-Earth exoplanet, orbiting at a distance that is close to habitable.Around a faint red dwarf called Ross 508, located just 36.5 light-years away (yet too dim to be seen with the naked eye), astronomers have confirmed the existence of a world just 4 times the mass of Earth. Given what we know about planetary mass limits, that means the world is likely to be terrestrial, or rocky, rather than gaseous.  The exoplanet, named Ross 508 b, is unlikely to…

Will Excel replace data scientists? Will Excel do the machine learning for us?TLDR: If you are not a data scientist, you too can perform exploratory data analysis. And any data scientists who previously found the distribution of Excel’s automated exploratory data analysis tools results underwhelming — you should now find time to take another look at the software’s cloud infrastructure enhanced tools. To do exploratory analysis well, a data scientist need time. The time spent on exploratory data analysis is usually well…

Rick Ross’ Car & Bike Show didn’t disappoint.The Maybach Music boss hosted the inaugural event Saturday at “The Promise Land,” his 235-acre property in Fayetteville, Georgia. Ross has been hyping the show over the last several months, teasing some of the whips he planned to showcase.
