Oh, ELLE. Why must we keep going through this? Yesterday, ELLE had people scratching their heads when the women’s magazine put Timberlands as this year’s fashion trend. Of course, this is absolutely absurd. Anyone with eyes knows that Timberland boots are no trend…they’re part of pop culture. In fact, they’ve been part of pop culture since the early ’90s, when […]
How much you think this cost to make? Stevie Wonder, Pharrell, Sam Smith, Lorde, Florence Welch, Emeli Sandé, Chris Martin and basically every pop artist to ever have a hit record team up to remake The Beach Boys’ classic record “God Only Knows.” The song and video were released by BBC to celebrate the launch of BBC Music. […]
We no longer need VH1 and TV shows like Where Are They Now? to figure out what happened to our favorite celebrities from the past. We can go straight to the source. Contrary to popular belief, when a celebrity — whether it be a pop singer, actor, or actress — fails at something, they don’t just disappear […]

[Instagram] Dreamville rapper Cozz gets a verse from his […]
Since Lil Boosie came home from prison back in March, the Louisiana rapper has been trying to get his rhyming mojo back.

He recently chatted with Peter Bailey on the NiteCap series, and touched on some heavy topics. He […]
Two of New York’s finest connect. Rapper Nas sat down with Power 105’s Angie Martinez to talk about the Time is Illmatic documentary, his Mass Appeal label, new music coming, and his thoughts on the Jay Z diss “Ether” all these years later. [RapRadar] Michael Jackson just won’t stop. The iconic “Thriller” video will be getting revived in […]
Ladies, you got to love it when Chris Brown gets freaky like this. The singer spit a pretty nasty verse (figuratively and literally) on his latest remix. This time, it’s over French Montana’s DJ Mustard-produced single “Don’t Panic.” On the song, Chris is rap/singing about eating different types of lady parts. This is just the […]
50 Cent, the television star? Who would have guessed. And yet, here we are. In a world where 50 Cent matters more on TV then he does musically. Over the last two years, 50 was the driving force behind two of cable’s most promising shows: the very popular drama Power (on STARZ) and the reality show Dream School, which airs on […]
