On top of releasing a surprise album with 17 freaking music videos, Beyonce has steadily been revealing mini-documentaries that allow a glimpse into Beyonce's headspace while she was making the album. Her latest, the aptly titled Liberation discusses the most overtly sexual song on an album full of bedroom tracks, "Partition." Read More »
In spite of all the antics that the Biebz allegedly got up to in 2013, it seems America's least desirable neighbors are Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The reality star and the Yeezus rapper came out on top of a poll conducted by real estate/ rental search website Zillow. Read More »
If you've never heard of the Quenelle, consider yourself lucky. The anti-Semitic hand gesture(which received an excellent rundown from Esquire's Stephen Marche) has been spreading like wildfire across social media platforms, with Twitter users turning into a game, like a racist version of planking.

It's no secret that Beyonce had been working on a new album for a while before the surprise release of Beyonce. There were leaks, promised release dates and tales of an entirely destroyed album. Still, it's insane to hear the actual amount of work that King Bey discarded. Read More »
Noted producer and vinyl collector Madlib doesn't exactly dig interviews. However, if there's one way to get the man behind Stones Throw Records and Beat Konducta to talk to you, it's allowing him access to your vinyl collection (just ask Blue Note). Radio France recently allowed Madlib into their vinyl archives for an interview. Read More »
Patton Oswalt is a regular provider of Twitter gold. Today, when he was contacted by Brander (a skeezy company that pays human scum to promote their clients via Twitter), was no exception. Oswalt started off with a simple enough response that he would not be bought by the company. Read More »
The last two members of Russian feminist protest group/punk band Pussy Riot were freed from prison earlier this week after serving nearly two years for hooliganism. Of course, the first person who should get a chance to talk to the women is the Russian equivalent of Paris Hilton. Russian socialite Ksenia Sobchak interviewed Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina and asked the hard-hitting questions...like "how much is the Pussy Riot brand worth?" Read More »

Here's a surprise: Oklahoma freak-rockers The Flaming Lips once sounded like Misfits. That much was made clear when Wayne Coyne posted the videos of their "2nd Cassette Demo" to YouTube. Read More »
Turns out it is possible to make the miserable wailing of Morrissey even sadder. Dubstep pioneer Skream proved as much when he released his remix of The Smiths 1983 track "This Charming Man." Read More »
It looked like Flatbush Zombies were all set to take over the rap world. They released the critically acclaimed D.R.U.G.S. mixtape, collaborated with the A$AP Mob on the infectious and (at the time) topical "Bath Salt." Then they dropped the somehow even better mixtape BetterOffDEAD... and were promptly ignored. Meechy Darko isn't taking that lying down, roaring back into the spotlight with the fantastic solo cut "The Baby Of Rosemary's Baby." Read More »
Rozay never met a buzzworthy song he didn't like. That's the only explanation I can figure for this atypical lackluster showing from Rick Ross on his Young Breed-assisted remix of YG's Vine staple, "My N*gga." Read More »
When Snoop Dogg first announced his reggae album Reincarnated (along with a name change to Snoop Lion), most of us expected an album that stereotyped the entire reggae genre down to a love of Snoop's favorite plant. While Reincarnated wasn't good, it mostly avoided this trap. We say mostly because their is the matter of "Smoke The Weed," a song which Snoop has chosen as the album's next single. Read More »
