Few things can bring fans of pop in 2013's divisive landscape like Beyonce. When Swedish pop afficianados and futurist R&B heads can't seem to see eye to eye, there is always King Bey. That description unfairly makes Beyonce sound like some boring middle-ground of pop when the truth of the matter is that her music is so polished and well-constructed that anyone with two ears and a love of music is forced to dig her.

Gah, everything is just happening so fast! Last night, Beyonce released a surprise new album. This morning we got a mini-doc from King Bey that explained her rational for the "visual album" approach. Then, we got a glimpse into the album's digital booklet with a pic of B's booty. Now, Beyonce has released one of the album's videos for everyone to enjoy. Read More »

They don't call him the Genius for nothing. GZA gave a lecture at the University of Toronto earlier this week on "Consciousness, Creativy and Music." During his time, GZA decided to drop some serious science (no, like actual science) on the attendees by rapping about the Big Bang Theory. Read More »
That long-awaited Wu-Tang Clan reunion project is finally upon us, sort of. RZA, the de facto leader of the Clan (meaning that when they form like Voltron, he's the head), says that A Better Tomorrow is six weeks away from being completed. Read More »
Not to be outdone by Kimmel's Nine Inch Nails performance, Jimmy Fallon called in controversial world-rap figure M.I.A. to perform "Come Walk With Me," a breakneck track off of her new album Matangi. Maya, who rarely performs with a live band, wasn't as animated as the schizo track would suggest (probably because she needed to stay close to her mic) but the off-the-rails album cut was pulled off beautifully by the most over-qualified house band of all time.
