Since 2000, young people have been hitting the polls in increasingly unprecedented numbers. Yes, since 2000.

If there’s one thing we love about Ciara, it’s her work ethic.

Check out M.I.A.’S new music video for her smash single ‘XXXO’. This is hands down my favorite track off her last album & I know i’m not the only one that feels that way. When this single first came out people knew it would take off. The song is so hot that even the all […]
Something is up with Young Jeezy. Usually the coolest guy in school, Jizzle has been making some pretty questionable moves lately. His fourth album Thug Motivation 103 has been plagued by pushbacks and failed singles. ‘Lose My Mind’, the ‘street single’ was a geniune hit (it currently sits at number 5 on the Hot Hip-Hop/R&B […]
