The Game lets loose some freaky tales in the new video for “Or Nah.” The Matt Alonzo-directed clip finds the Compton rapper at a debauchery-themed party surrounded by scantily clad women.

Fittingly, the ladies gyrate and twerk on cue while the Cali MC and his boys ride the track, which borrows heavily from Too $hort‘s classic song “Don’t Fight the Feeling.”

“Ever since we did ‘Dope Boys,’ ‘Martians vs. Goblins’ and ‘Celebration,’ [Matt Alonzo] has been my go to director,” Game told MTV News recently, while on set in Los Angeles. “He writes the treatment and I just show up at the video and it always turns out cool. You’ve gotta trust your team.”

Year Of The Wolf, The Game’s upcoming Blood Money compilation, drops next month.

It’s probably not how a superstar DJ wants to celebrate his 25th birthday, but on the day he hit the quarter-century mark (September 8), Avicii confirmed that he would cancel all of his scheduled performances, citing health concerns.

Reps for the Swedish DJ/producer confirmed to Billboard that the EDM phenom would hit pause on “all touring and promotional activities” as issues related to earlier surgeries continue to plague him.

Avicii (born Tim Bergling) underwent surgery to remove his gallbladder and appendix earlier this year. The sudden hospitalization forced him to miss Ultra as well as a string of shows beginning in April. “I’m sorry to postpone the shows this month,” he wrote at the time. “I sincerely rly wish I didn’t have to but unfortunately theres no going around it.” The Swede had been suffering from abdominal pain, nausea and fever. A year earlier, in March 2013, he was treated for acute pancreatitis in Australia over six days.

This past July, Avicii seemed to be happily focused on recording his next album, the follow-up to his 2013 smash True, telling Rolling Stone he had lined up an eclectic roster that included Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Coldplay’s Chris Martin for his sophomore record.

His latest health setback means Avicii will give up his headlining spot at TomorrowWorld in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia; that fest is scheduled for September 26 to 28. The “Wake Me Up” star will also sit out planned Las Vegas residencies at XS ...

You’re going to want to sit down for this because it’s official: Gwen Stefani is “all about doing music.”

That’s right, the pop star is back and after focusing this past year on her L.A.M.B. 2015 Spring Collection, she tells MTV News she’s “thinking about music a lot.”

But she’s not just thinking, she’s doing. Gwen is back in the studio and, get this, she’s working on both a No Doubt album and a solo album, which will be her first since she released Sweet Escape eight years ago.

“At this point I’m thinking about both, I can do both,” Gwen told MTV News during New York Fashion Week. “And it’s just an amazing time; so many opportunities. I’m going into the studio tonight with Pharrell [Williams], I’m going to be writing and also just seeing what comes along my way. I’ve been recording a few things. …”

According to her fellow “Voice” mentor Pharrell, who teamed up with Gwen on her 2005 hit “Hollaback Girl,” those “few things,” she’s been recording are on “another level.”

“You’ll never believe that she does not look her age, she doesn’t look like she’s had three children — but that’s the cool part, she is her age and she’s had three children and she’s killing it,” Pharrell told MTV News at a separate NYFW event. “When I tell you she’s killing it, it’s another level. Gwen is somewhere else.”

And you probably should ...

In the tensest moment of Kanye West‘s now-infamous 34-minute interview with Sway Calloway, Yeezy belted out, “It ain’t Ralph, though!”

His reference to design titan Ralph Lauren was Kanye’s response to Sway asking why he was ranting about no one opening doors for him in the fashion industry when he could have been putting all of his energy and funds into his own line—a move that Sway did himself, when he released his own clothing line. Kanye fired back at Sway that his clothing label wasn’t on a par with Ralph Lauren and went on to lament the production cost of creating a line from the ground up, explaining why he needed a platform as big as Nike to create his designs.

Almost a year later, Ralph Lauren has finally responded to Kanye’s compliment by way of rant. In an interview with Style.com, the publication’s editor-in-chief Dirk Standen asked Ralph what he thought of Kanye using his name as the barometer of quality and reach. Ralph’s take on it: “That’s very cool. Well, that’s great. If I were to cater to Kanye, he would know that I’m catering to him. The fact that I make what I make—he gets it. He gets the quality and he respects it. And I think that’s the key, why I work all the time is to do that. That’s the fun.”

Now that Ralph’s on board with Kanye’s respect for him, might this open the door for a ...

MTV News created the “Hottest MCs in the Game” franchise, but Denzel Washington has a few things to say on the subject.

The two-time Oscar winner took to Reddit Monday (September 8) ahead of his new movie, “The Equalizer,” to field fan questions and share three of his list of all-time favorite lyricists after he was asked if he liked Eminem.

“Eminem, yes,” Washington replied. “And I like Nas, and Jay-Z. Eminem and NAS are real wordsmiths. So yes, I’m DEFINITELY an Eminem fan. Where’s he been? Where you been Eminem?”

Outside of releasing the new song, “Guts Over Fear,” which features highly on Washington’s new movie trailer and soundtrack, Eminem’s been on his mega-successful “Monster Tour” with Rihanna and setting new marks for most words used in a hit song for the “Guinness Book of World Records.”

In addition to sharing his list of favorite rappers, the 59-year-old actor revealed that he would jump at the chance to play James Bond.

“The next James Bond? They better hurry up!” Washington said. “Yes I would! Who’s doing James Bond now … Daniel Craig! Did they shoot another one? Everybody should tweet Denzel is James Bond! Send it to the studio! We start the Denzel is Bond campaign today! James Washington. Denzel Bond!”

“The Equalizer” hits theaters on September 26.

Think it’d be impossible to get a fashion show together with four designers from all over the globe who have never shown in New York before? What if you threw in a team of expert mentors (including Mel Ottenberg, the stylist behind so many of Rihanna‘s most iconic looks) to help them get NYFW ready? And held it in a functioning concert hall? And then added a DJ competition? Are you exhausted just READING these questions? You should be because that’s a LOT of work. But it all happened for this season of VFiles Made Fashion.

ZDDZ

VFiles

VFiles assembled another stellar roster of NYFW virgins for their Spring/Summer 2015 show: ZDDZ, D.TT.K., HAMM, and (this class’ only non all-caps four-letter label) Tigran Avetisyan—all of which we’ll dive further in-depth with over the next few days.

D.TT.K.

VFiles

VFiles has made a name for themselves by being WAY ahead of the curve on most of your faves’ go-to brands—Nasir Mazhar, Hood By Air, Ashish, and Hyein Seo to name a few—so when the fashion oracle opened its doors to us for an all-access look at putting together this VFiles Made Fashion show, we obviously had to jump on the opportunity.

If Mom and Dad saved up for decades so you can (almost, kind of, j/k yeah right) afford college, then you should be kind enough to pay them back…by shielding them from the horrible truth of your new debaucherous existence. Whether it’s your diet, your partying, your (un-)romantic life, your court hearing or any other time-honored aspect of the undergraduate experience, their ignorance is your bliss.

Check out the video below for all the lies you’re gonna spew when touching base with the ‘rents. If you’re lucky, they won’t remember feeding their parents the exact same b.s. by the shovelful once upon a time.

Demi Lovato fans in Baltimore, Maryland, were treated to the first stop on her world tour Saturday night. But for those of you not in the Old Line State over the weekend, not to worry because the “Really Don’t Care” singer has 26 more stops between now and October 27 when the show wraps in Brooklyn, NY.

When MTV News caught up with the pop star during VMA week, she described the Demi World Tour as “bigger and more interactive” than anything you’ve seen from her before and promised a show you won’t want to miss.

“The Neon Lights Tour was amazing and I had so much fun, but I’m constantly thinking, ‘How can I step up my game and how can I take my shows to the next level?’ so that’s what we’re doing with this tour,” she explained. “I’m changing some of the songs, adding new songs, adding new covers [like Michael Jackson's "Thriller"]; I just want it to be fun and I want it to be everything that I didn’t get to do with the Neon Lights Tour.”

In addition to Demi, Lovatics will hear from a number of opening acts including MKTO (“Love them, I’ve known Tony [Oller from the duo] since I was 14.”), Christina Perry (“I’ve wanted to tour with her for so long but she was always working and so it never ...
