While this past year has seen huge success (and major backlash) for pop's teenage curmudgeon Lorde, I doubt many things could compare to being complimented by David Bowie. The "Royals" singer revealed in an interview with Rookie that the Thin White Duke raved about her music at Tilda Swinton's MOMA birthday bash. Read More »
Even though it might seem like it because her voice was omnipresent on guest spots and news of her relationship was everywhere, Rihanna actually didn't release an album in 2013. It was the first year since 2008 that the High Princess of Barbados didn't drop a solo release. Luckily for all of us, rachet auteur DJ Mustard has set about fixing that in 2014. The "Rack City" producer claims he's already hit the studio with RiRi to begin work on her new album. Read More »
While the argument over whether Martin Scorsese's DiCaprio-led latest The Wolf Of Wall Street is an endorsement or a work of satire has raged on, a key point was being glossed over. The movie says f**k A LOT. Like, a f**kload of "f**k"s are in this movie. So much so that they broke the f**kin' record for f**k's in an American feature length film. Read More »
There's one of those awful combined nicknames in their somewhere. Cutllari? Cavatler? JK? ... Anyway, it appears actress Kristin Cavallari and her husband Jay Cutler will be staying in Chicago for the foreseeable future as Cutler has just inked a 7-year-deal with the Bears. Read More »
TNGHT were just about the only trap superstars to make a name for themselves without the help of a bunch of people making themselves look like a-holes. The Hudson Mohawke and Lunice collaborative project had an incredible year, scoring a hit and some sick Adidas money with their song "Higher Ground" before producing one of the most-talked about tracks on the most critically adored album of the year in Yeezus' "Blood On The Leaves." However, it appears the duo are going out on top, announcing a hiatus via a new video titled "Waning Moon." Read More »

People are still getting around to reading Morrissey's just-released autobiography (with the exception of Smiths' drummer Mike Joyce) and Moz is already talking about another book. It seems the former Smiths frontman wants to write a novel. Read More »
Much like my local alternative FM station, French Montana has just discovered the indie hits of 2010. That's the only logical explanation I can come up with for "All For You", a Lana Del Rey-sampling track off of his latest mixtape Coke Boys 4. Read More »
Mark my words, 2014 will be the year of the surprise album. Last year, saw a bit of a death rattle for overly promoted pop albums with the run-up to dissapointments like Prism and ARTPOP taking months. Then, Beyonce blew the whole game up with her surprise album release at the tail-end of last year (2014 by awards' standards). Now, we've already seen two high-profile surprise albums in the first 72 hours of the new year: Del The Funky Homosapien's Iller Than Most and the Pixies' just-released EP 2. Read More »
2013 was the year that BitCoin went from the skeezy, back-alley Internet's payment method of choice to a legitimate presence in talks about world currency.

Kid Ink squanders yet another incredible beat on his latest, "Murda." He's apparently spent his time since his last release "walking 'round like President Obama" who is apparently just as renowned for his strut as Rihanna. Luckily, Pusha T -who has been on hot streak worthy of several NBA Jam-style boomshakalakas- drops in on the second verse to show Kid how it's done. Read More »
This is the logical endpoint that comes from a Kanye West shFoutout, a mid-tier rapper releasing a music video centered around your brand t hat looks like a someone's home movies, albeit on a private jet. Future just released the clip for "Maison Margiela" off of the DJ Esco-curated No Sleep mixtape and it deals almost exclusively in #justprivatejetthings. Read More »
