Last year was arguably Kendrick Lamar’s best year ever — he scored his first solo No. 1 on the Hot 100 with "Humble", its parent album DAMN. had one of the biggest debuts ever and Billboard’s staff even voted the LP as our favorite album of the year. But he nearly matched his 2017 success this year without even releasing a solo album of his own, thanks to his work curating the Black Panther soundtrack. Though the album featured an eclectic array of Afrobeat- and dancehall-inspired tracks for the film, the constellations really aligned for the set’s standout lead single, "All the Stars" with SZA. The contemporary R&B-pop hit combines Kendrick’s slick verses with SZA front and center on the chorus, resulting in the year’s most panoramic radio hits. Luckily, the track got a music video to match – a stunning visual that nods to Black Panther’s themes while also paying homage to African culture. – X.Z.
"Sicko Mode," because the part you think is the drop is barely even halfway up the rollercoaster. "Sicko Mode," because the only album that outdid Astroworld’s first-week numbers in 2018 is by the guy who contributes a hook and a verse here and still can’t get a feature credit. "Sicko Mode," because the best hook singer in hip-hop only gets a two-word stutter. "Sicko Mode," because they’re trumpeting the arrival of winter in the middle of August, like they were the producers of Game of Thrones. "Sicko Mode," because DON’T STOP POP THAT. "Sicko Mode," because the music video is brain-warping enough for you to accept a lyric like "She thought it was the ocean/ It’s just the pool" at face value. "Sicko Mode," because not even James Harden and Clint Capela go on you with the pick-and-roll this hard. "Sicko Mode," because the only other guy who can stitch together a five-minute, three-part collision course like this and still have it go to No. 1 used to be in The Beatles. "Sicko Mode," because nobody likes Jamba Juice that much. "Sicko Mode," because they tried to show us. – A.U.

For me, the Star Trek franchise serves as a hopeful window into humanity’s future. Although TOS writers made some missteps in predicting the how the 20th Century would end (see: Eugenics Wars, DY-100 Sleeper Ships, and NOMAD), I’ve always been able to explain that away as some dating error made by Starfleet (especially when it’s been contradicted in later series like DS9 – sorry Greg Cox, I love your books though). Now, the writers seem to be doubling down on a timeline created over 20 years ago. My concern is that this timeline seems less and less realistic as the present moves further into Star Trek’s “past.”
OK. You laughed at the NX-01. Even though the show was not well received the consensus seems to be that it did a good job with the look and feel of the ship. While this doesn’t diminish your opinion on this matter yours appears to be the minority one.
A newish Synapse feature lets you adjust system performance. There are three modes: Balanced, Gaming and Creator. Balanced gives you the optimal performance for battery life and overall performance, while Creator and Gaming increases power to the CPU and GPU, respectively. Each of these settings lets you toggle fan speed and the screen refresh cap.
Great. I just wanted to ask about the Casa Berardi medium-term cost outlook as you move from underground what looks like into more of an open pit mine plan for your recent reserve announcement? Thank you.
The first season of “The Orville” is all available on Hulu, and anybody itching for a return to old-school “Star Trek” should give it a shot. The show is basically what would happen if regular people served on the U.S.S. Enterprise — a humorous and accessible take on the “Star Trek” formula, but which still gets what made those series so endearing.
Well, it looks like I’m on the outside looking in on this one. Improvement over last season? Yes. Far more promise than last season? Yes. Anson Mount nails it as Pike? Yes, but they introduced a crutch for this season that still doesn’t allow Discovery to stand on its own until after the Pike / Spock story arc wraps.
I donât think wind and solar can be the core of a modern industrial economy any time soon, if ever. How do you scale up from the current 3% share shown above to replace carbon…as well as hydro and nuclear if greens had their way.
Donald Glover dropped this heady single the same weekend he hosted SNL and five days before he starred as intergalactic rogue Lando Calrissian in the highly anticipated, then totally dissed Solo: A Star Wars Story. And yet all anybody could talk about was this bracing mash-up of hollers and dark, grinding rhythms, which pokes a finger into the open wound of racial violence in America. A hip-hop update to Marvin Gaye’s iconic ’70s protest anthem “What’s Going On,” Gambino’s bracing single (and its bucket-of-ice-water-to-the-face video) juxtaposes the fight to “party just for free” with the grim reality of a police state (“You just a black man in this world/ You just a barcode”) in a funky broth that feeds both body and soul. – G.K.
