You probably haven’t heard this from an earnest male college student, so please allow me to fill you in: Kanye Omari West is a musical genius.
Media-ville, a showcase of industry leaders in media and entertainment, returns to Fall Career Fair Sept.
It’s an easy pun, but “AIM,” the latest and possibly last album by the Sri Lankan pop provocateur M.I.A., is a little aimless.
Like most college students, I almost exclusively use streaming services as my method of music consumption.
Duke University and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists will be hosting a political cartoon and satire festival from Sept.
In a way, the beginning of a new semester is like a renaissance. The renewal of friendships, the rebirth of school spirit and the resurgence of academics surround the campus.
The DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy will bring Boston Globe reporter Matt Carroll in addition to a special screening of the Academy Award-winning film “Spotlight.” “Spotlight,” a drama following The Boston Globe’s eponymous investigative reporting team, highlights the group’s exposure of pervasive child sex abuse within the Boston Catholic Church.
The Oscar-winning movie “Birdman” boasts leading roles played by some of the biggest names in Hollywood—yet the first voice an audience hears at the start of the film is not that of Michael Keaton or Emma Stone or Zach Galifianakis. Rather, it’s the voice of Antonio Sánchez, whose face never appears but whose hidden touch guides every scene. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, that’s my voice,’” Sánchez, who composed and recorded the score for “Birdman”—which consists almost exclusively of drums—said of seeing the movie for the first time.
Many Duke students may know the Nasher Museum of Art as a quiet place to look at art, or the place with the best brunch on campus.
If you have never heard the name Saul Williams, you have been missing out on one of the most important legacies in the history of modern art.

2016 is a strange time to be Ms. Britney Jean Spears. It’s the seventeenth year of a storied career, the turbulent likes of which haven’t yet been replicated in the twenty-first century.
The Duke Common Experience is one almost every student has endured; it is common, after all. This year’s common experience was “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson, an emotional novel about the author’s experiences working as a lawyer with underprivileged people on death row.
Instead of following up 2012’s “channel ORANGE” with another concept masterpiece, Frank Ocean opted for something simpler—and better—with his new album, “Blonde.” The scope of “Blonde” is far more intimate than that of “channel ORANGE,” which touched on themes ranging from Ocean’s bisexuality to race and class divides to prostitution to drug abuse. “Blonde” instead focuses, for the most part, on Ocean’s feelings following a breakup with a person whose gender is intentionally obscured by a lack of pronouns, and feels much more personal, an impressive feat considering the emotion poured into every track on his previous effort. The album opens with “Nikes,” which is easily the track least focused on the album’s general theme of love. A cold critique of the trappings of wealth and those who wish to take advantage of Ocean’s success, the tune features Ocean’s pitched-up voice singing a rambling verse over a hazy trap beat.

With their second full-length LP “SremmLife 2,” rap duo Rae Sremmurd—who performed at Duke’s Last Day of Classes concert April—proves that their brand of poppy, party rap is not limited to the catchy hooks which characterized their earlier work. The Atlanta natives received relative acclaim for their debut “SremmLife,” with critics praising the pair’s energy and distinctly unabashed approach to writing bars for parties.
“Green Party in the HOOOOUUUUUUSSSSSEEEEE!!” As I sat in the front row of a small auditorium in the University of Houston’s student center, it did not occur to me that David Cobb, the loud, bald, bespectacled emcee who spoke with a charming southern twang, had once received more than 100,000 votes in a campaign for president of the United States.
