Kanye West has broken into the Top 20 singles list. That shouldn't be a big deal, he released Yeezus earlier this year and he is "the biggest rock star on the planet." Here's the kicker: Yeezy charted with "Gone", an eight-year-old, Cam'ron featuring track off Late Registration. Read More »
There are very few things that Le1f does that aren't dripping in sex. Still, to hear him channel Future on his latest single "Hush BB" is an interesting experience (with a female background dancer, no less) Read More »
Panic! At The Disco's "Girls/Girls/Boys" music video is no doubt going to sail over the heads of their fan base (much like fellow long-title-loving pop-punkers Fall Out Boy's excellent new EP). However, as someone who has dropped the needle on a Voodoo vinyl reissue more times than is sane or healthy, I got it in one. Read More »
The American Music Awards is the latest example of why we can't have nice things. Leading the pack in nominations on the online-ballot-decided, populist awards show is none other than walking gimmick/scratchy voiced so-so rapper Macklemore (and his producer/partner-in-crime Ryan Lewis, who I can't knock because the beats and hooks are solid).

Lil' Wayne provides a brief glimpse into how he got elevated to top tier of the rap game before collapsing back in to his recent hindrance of groaner sex metaphors (mostly because the later verses are lifted directly from another song) on his latest "Original Silence (ft. Mack Maine)." Read More »
As if we needed more proof that James Murphy is a benevolent disco god who was sent down to make the world a better place through uber-hip throwback jams. The former LCD Soundsystem frontman remixed David Bowie's "Love Is Lost" for the The Next Day: Collector's Edition, a reissue of Ziggy's latest album. Read More »
Here's the 15,000th piece of evidence that Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan really did know what the eff he was doing. While there were many theories surrounding the series' finale's episode title "Felina," (the most interesting of which broke it down by syllables. Fe-Li-Na= Iron-Lithium-Sodium= Blood, Sweat, Tears) there is now no doubt that the title refers to the ultimately fatal love interest of Marty Robbins in his song "El Paso." Read More »
Every single day, I try to find at least one news story that makes me feel better about the state of things. After finding this Season 5-teasing Archer remake of Kenny Loggin's Top Gun classic "Danger Zone," I think I can take the rest of the month off Read More »
Pusha T has hinted that a new Clipse album might be produced in full by Pharrell Williams and Kanye West .*fervently re-writes Christmas list* Read More »
Gather 'round, children. It's storytime. There once was a time when Dipset- the group of Harlem rappers fronted by Cam'ron and Juelz Santana- was such a powerful force that they could call for and star in movies about famous neighborhood drug dealers. So, it was that Cam'ron played Alpo Martinez, the dealer-turned-informant who killed fellow famous peddler Rich Porter. Read More »
Remix champion and BIRP mainstay Star Slinger (real name: Darren Williams) is back with yet another slice of pitch-shifted vocals, tweaked out horn samples and all around ass-shaking beats with his latest "Free." Read More »
Janelle Monae, Miguel Star In Teaser For 'Primetime' Music Video, The Latest Clip Off 'Electric Lady' Read More »
When Drake dropped his Nothing Was The Same track "Wu-Tang Forever", he caught quite a bit of flack. Purists and Wu cultists didn't take to kindly to the king of sad rap copping from the Shaolin masters. However, it turns out the track has a not insignificant co-sign from none other than RZA himself. Read More »
