• E-40 to Perform at Sobe Live Tonight, First 200 People in Free

  Hyphy as a "movement," per se, may have disappeared as quickly as the driver of a ghost-ridden whip. But in the fallout after the thiz high finally wore off, the Yay Area's most talented bona fide MCs have survived. And the man to come out closest to the top so far has been E-40, he of the staccato, decisive flow and unmistakable Northern California accent. Riding high on the underground success of his 2006 single "Tell Me When To Go," the chubby-cheeked MC then coasted into a series of collab

• Kanye West's 808s and Heartbreak Excedes Expectations

  Kanye West 808s & Heartbreak (Roc-A-Fella) Despite what's been written, Kanye West's new style on his fourth album 808s & Heartbreak -- which incorporates "tribal"-style drum machines and auto-tuned vocals - doesn't sound especially shocking to the ears. Immediately satisfying singles like "Robocop" and "Love Lockdown" make Yeezy's much-discussed crooning and his T-Pain-assisted use of vocoder non-issues here. Kanye was never much of a rapper anyway, but he's always found away to stay

• Q&A With T-Pain, Performing at AAA on Sunday

  Many of today's hip-hop personalities and R&B royalty would have fans believe they've got the genuine Midas touch, but few in recent years can truly back that claim up. The Tallahassee-born T-Pain, however, is one of these chosen few. It's no wonder Akon snatched him up for his own imprint, Konvict Muzik, upon hearing his rendition of the impresario's single, "Locked Up," back in 2005.  Since then Pain has put singles on the Top 40 almost faster than Billboard can get to print, thanks

• Q&A With Keyshia Cole, Performing at AAA on Sunday

  She's landed four Grammy nominations, seven number-one singles, and two platinum-selling albums, all in only three years. Thus, it's safe to say Keyshia Cole deserves a place in that illustrious echelon of female artists known as Divas, though she may not realize it yet. But not the "get me my Evian" and "green M&Ms only" variety either -- the Tina Turner/Cher/ Mariah Carey kind (more Emotions Mariah than Mimi). But even the diva distinction doesn't quite cover Cole's achievements. Simply,

• Top Hip-Hop Albums Of 2008

  A couple of weeks ago, an expert on the Harry Potter series told an audience of high school kids how lucky they were to have this Big Shared Experience--these seven books and 41,000 words in common. What does Harry Potter have to do with hip-hop in 2008? In an age when many year-end lists should be subtitled "Ten More Albums You've Never Heard of and Will Never, Ever Hear," plenty. Technology has made the world smaller, and in response, we've found smaller and smaller worlds to inhabit. Think o

  You don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come.

Racial barriers in 2008 were demolished by a Midwestern black man, and gender barriers were hurdled by an Arkansan and an Alaskan.Democracy has a few awesome new dance moves rolling into the Obama presidency, and it'll be a feast for

  Miami's annual Best Of The Best concert has become an international Memorial Weekend destination event. This year, some of the world's most popular dancehall, soca, and rap stars will take the stage at Bicentennial Park and most likely rock an over-capacity crowd. If you plan on going, get your tickets now while they're $49. The offer expires May 1 and then the price goes up.Recent lineup additions to the still-evolving bill include Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, and Destra the soca queen. The show's

• The Week That Was: A Sense of Belonging

  This was a week where people were just trying to figure out where they belong. It was an awkward thing to watch, like tweens on their first day of middle school figuring out which lunch table to sit at. Jason Taylor knew deep, deep down that his heart belonged to Miami, and he was willing to come back at whatever (super reduced) price. Charlie Crist decided that he belonged far, far away from Florida in the US Senate. He will probably get there, sorry Marco Rubio. So the only question

  ​Summerfest 2009 is going down next month at the American Airlines Arena, and it has some of hip-hop and R&B's biggest names on the bill. Ne-Yo, Akon, Flo Rida, and T-Pain are all confirmed to perform on August 22. If you're looking to get good seats, you'd better prepare to shell out a small fortune though. Lower bowl tickets are going for $349 before fees, and you can't get in the door for under $50. For fans of at least two of the acts though, you can justify the price by addin

• Which of These Miami Dolphins Songs Is More Embarrassing?

  In hip-hop, Jay-Z is God, and since he declared Auto-Tune dead, we've hoped that would put a swift end to the career of professional Auto-Tune abuser T-Pain. (I will never understand how a musical technique pioneered by Cher became "gangsta.") Dolphins majority owner Stephen Ross didn't get the message, and drafted to remake the Miami Dolphins fight song.  It is pretty predictably goddamn horrible. But is it really the worst song associated with the Fins in their long, cheesy musical

• New Fat Joe Album Features Beats by Palm Beach Producer Schife

   South Florida loves Fat Joe; he seems to be here so often we can almost claim him as one of our own. So it was with some interest that I read this MTV News Mixtape Daily blog post on his latest album, Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2). But it was this quote that stopped me, about the track "Put You in the Game":"It's that real -- I try to get witty with the flow, the lyrics. It's produced by Schife out of Palm Beach -- incredible new producer out of Palm Beach," Joe explained. "T-Pain
