Schoolboy Q's Oxymoron is finally upon us. (Stream the entire new album here). But, as we all know, you can't release an album in 2014 with just two music videos. The TDE member has followed up the frenetic black-and-white "Collard Greens" with "Break The Bank" a full-color, gritty look at an urban landscape (featuring Q's daughter, gangsters, cops and a balloon I think we had in kindergarten).

Divergent is carrying on a long-standing trend of movies marketed at tweens that also happen to have insanely deep soundtrack rosters for adults to enjoy. (It's like the aural equivalent of animated films' adult in-jokes). The upcoming films soundtrack will feature tracks from Tame Impala, Kendrick Lamar, M83, Ellie Goulding, A$AP Rocky and Skrillex.

Big Boi is positioning himself as the master of the remix (alongside his new buddies Phantogram). The latest from Lucious is an undeniably funky re-imagining of Shalamar's "A Night To Remember" titled "Objectum Shalamar." Read More »
If David Byrne were solely responsible for the way St. Vincent's new album sounds, he would deserve praise. If it was just that and his status as the founder of the Talking Heads, he would deserve some sort of plaque. That all of this is true and he's also fighting for fair performance royalties by covering Biz Markie? Well, that man is deserving of a oil portrait in the grand gallery of the Universe. Read More »
Adam Lambert is no stranger to over-the-top glam rock, so covering The Darkness (as Lambert does in this week's episode of Glee) is right in the former American Idol contestant's wheelhouse. Lambert took on their surprise 2003 hit "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" during his appearance on this week's episode, "Frenemies." Read More »
In case you aren't feeling old enough today, you should know that Soundgarden is planning a deluxe 20th anniversary release of Superunknown. That's right, perhaps the seminal Seattle album is just about old enough to drink. Read More »
Former Star Trek cast member and current winner of all things social media George Takei has responded to the backwards anti-gay law that was passed under the guise of "religious freedom" and currently sits on the desk of Arizona governor Jan Brewer. Read More »
Beyond creepy bros who watch the music video on mute, people seem to have already forgotten about "Can't Remember To Forget You." Not one to let anything get her down, Shakira is prepping her next single "Empire." Read More »

James Blake has certainly proven to have a knack for working with rappers (see: his remix of "m.A.A.d. city," his work with Chance the Rapper, his Drake remixes, etc.) and the biggest rapper on the planet has taken notice. Kanye West appears to want Blake's help in crafting a new album. Read More »
The LEGO Movie not only managed to be as awesome as its de facto theme song, but continues to haul in a boatload of cash in a three-week long domination of the box office. That's a perfect recipe for a sequel and the folks at Warner are already pre-heating the oven. The movie studio just announced plans for a LEGO sequel to hit theaters on May 26, 2017. Read More »
YMCMB are going full Cruel Summer (or, if you're old enough, full Roc La Familia) and releasing a compilation album hyping their entire roster. "Senile" is one of the first cuts off the group effort and it features Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Tyga over a beat that is best described as "ratchet John Carpenter." Read More »
