Metro Boomin claps back at critics of A Futuristic Summa in fiery tweets
Released on August 1, the double-disc, 24-track mixtape channels early 2000s trap nostalgia—but not everyone's here for it.
The St. Louis-born producer took to X (formerly Twitter) and made it clear that the tape isn't for everyone. 'A lot of y'all get no b*tches and it shows,' he tweeted, kicking off a humorous yet heated defense of his work. Metro continued with a barrage of posts targeting fans who didn't grow up partying in the 2000s or who only started listening to rap in recent years.

'If you started listening to rap music in 2017 then you might wanna sit this one out,' he said, adding that the project is for people who understand the culture of teen parties, collecting numbers, and flexing with tags still on clothes.

The mixtape includes features from early-2010s Southern rap staples like Travis Porter, Roscoe Dash, T.I., 2 Chainz, Young Dro, and more. Lead single 'Slide' featuring Roscoe Dash dropped alongside the announcement on July 4.
Metro's tweets suggest the criticism stems from generational disconnects rather than the music itself. His goal with A Futuristic Summa was to recapture a bygone era of club-ready trap, and he's unapologetic about who it's made for.

Hideo Kojima praises Fantastic Four reboot for retro-futuristic style and efficient storytelling structure
Renowned game creator Hideo Kojima has publicly praised Fantastic Four: First Steps, describing the film as 'truly fantastic' and highlighting its unique retro-futuristic aesthetic. Kojima shared his thoughts on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where he applauded the film's immersive 1960s world-building and thematic tone. Kojima noted the film's attention to detail in recreating a stylized 1960s environment, citing its fashion, architecture, branding, and even food items. 'Not only the fashion, color schemes, design, cityscapes, TV and anime programs, costumes and spacesuits, rockets, and cars, but even corporate names, food items (cereals, soft drinks), and storage media (magnetic tapes, discs) are thoroughly created with a 1960s look and sense of the future,' he wrote. Watched 'Fantastic Four: First Steps.' From the fashion, color palette, design, cityscape, TV and cartoon shows, to the costumes, spacesuits, rockets, cars—not to mention company names, food items (cereal, soda), and storage media (magnetic tapes, discs)—everything is crafted… — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) August 3, 2025 Drawing comparisons to Bewitched and The Incredibles, Kojima praised the film's family-centered narrative and lighter tone. He suggested that Fantastic Four: First Steps reflects a broader shift in superhero storytelling post-pandemic—from darker realism to colorful nostalgia. Kojima also applauded the film's storytelling efficiency, particularly its choice to explain the team's backstory through an in-universe television program. He explained that detailing the origin story in full would have slowed the film's pace, noting that the streamlined narrative successfully immerses audiences from the start. 'In terms of being the 'First Steps' to 'restart' this series, it's truly 'Fantastic,'' he added. While Kojima's praise adds to the film's critical momentum, its commercial performance tells a more mixed story. After a strong debut, the film is projected to earn around $42 million in its second weekend—a 64% drop. Despite that, it has crossed the $200 million mark in ten days, making it the highest-grossing MCU film of the year so far. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, and Ralph Ineson as Galactus.

Elon Musk brings back Vine archive through X and Grok AI integration
Elon Musk has announced the return of Vine's archive, nearly a decade after the short-form video app was shut down. In a recent post on X, Musk revealed: 'We recently found the Vine video archive (thought it had been deleted) and are working on restoring user access, so you can post them if you want.' Vine, which Twitter acquired in 2012 for $30 million, became a cultural landmark with its six-second videos that launched viral trends and online careers. The platform shut down in 2017 due to stiff competition and internal struggles. Now, Musk—who took over Twitter and rebranded it as X in 2022—is reviving interest by reintroducing Vine content, not as a standalone app, but as part of the broader X ecosystem. The revival is tied to Grok, Musk's AI chatbot, with which users can generate and post videos. Vine's original popularity stemmed from its brief, creative clips and influential creators like Logan and Jake Paul. Despite its decline, the platform's cultural legacy remains strong among millennials and Gen Z. Musk's integration of Vine videos into X via Grok could tap into that nostalgia while promoting new AI capabilities. While some view the move as a marketing push for Grok, the restored access to iconic Vine content may offer users a trip down memory lane.
