Welcome to the new Ruby Hornet. When Virgil brought me on board back in late April, our goal was to bring Ruby Hornet to new heights, to expand on the success that Alex and Sean spent years establishing. In the past five months, we’ve brought some key members to the team and added much, much more diversity to the website. It had been a long time coming, but we’re happy to share the next major step in Ruby Hornet’s evolution. There are bound to be a few missteps here and there, but don’t be afraid to let us know about them. The new look is just the tip of the iceberg.
This week, the long relationship between Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer came to an end, Taylor Swift was cast in The Giver, Brynn interviewed Dave Davison from Maps & Atlases, we had an onslaught of music videos from Rick Ross, Z Money, Psalm One, Drake, Vic Mensa, Chief Keef, and more, Irina Shayk posed for VMAN, Grand Theft Auto V sold more than $1 billion, and Zane Lowe interviewed Kanye West which led to some amazing #NODISRESPECTTOBENAFFLECK tweets and the subject of Jake’s weekly Sunday Coffee Sipper.
Check out everything Ruby Hornet covered this week below.
