This past weekend, Amazon released Coming 2 America, the 33-years-later sequel to the Eddie Murphy classic Coming To America. People have already gotten mad online about the movie’s politics, but it’s mostly a good-enough piece of nostalgia-bait, buoyed by a few truly funny performances. (Wesley Snipes in this thing? Incredible. I hope Snipes gets to come in and steal every streaming-era Eddie Murphy movie away from the man.) I had a good time watching Coming 2 America, partly because it’s just fun to see movie stars in dazzling costumes on expensive sets. And the most expensive of those sets,

Kids mode, where Google says you'll get "rows with recommendations from kid-friendly apps." It sure sounds like Google is recommitting to the TV space with Google TV—a renamed, revamped version of Android TV. In addition to the new content-centric (instead of app-centric) home screen, watch list, and an upcoming "dumb TV" mode, Google is now revamping parental control support.

Ba Pace is a rapper from the Bronx who specializes in muddy, languid, free-floating rap fantasias. Ba Pace’s music fits with the recent wave of murky, lo-fi indie rap, but he doesn’t really sound like an Earl Sweatshirt acolyte. Instead, his music seems directly descended from MF DOOM — a link that Ba Pace sometimes makes explicit via sample choice. He’s got a cool, evocative sound, and he releases a lot of music.
