It's been a good year for the visibility of feminism and few superstars have done more to promote the cause then Beyonce.

If you've ever read former glowing reviews of Superchunk here on MStars, you'd know many of us are suckers for well-executed power-pop.

After a minute or so of low-key drums and talk of basketball greatness, "Let It Go" proper begins with the line "Kill a motherf***er with a Magnum .44." The line is jarring, and sets the tone for the rest of the A$AP Mob member's debut. Still, even with that knowledge, nothing could have prepared me for the "Let It Go" music video: Read More »
