Justin Bieber is a fucking cock tease. Remember when we here at Crossfade totally called the impending leak of sexy-time pics and vids following the news of Justin Bieber’s stolen laptop? Well, we were 100-percent right. But it’s just gotten even more complicated and convoluted. Yesterday, after some alleged Bieber…
While the rest of the country has been putting on hoodies and celebrating the first cold-fronts of autumn, we’ve been down here slaving away through the endless summer of our SoFla lives. Isn’t it time we got a little refreshment? Well, it’s the beat-freakin’ weekend. And we’re about to have…
Pop stars are losing it. Specifically their lunch, all over themselves and in front of their fans. Princess RiRi recently blew chunks in the middle of “What’s My Name?” in Portugal, but she didn’t have the guts to barf on stage. Nay, it takes a truly exhibitionist soul to let…
Cat Power at Grand Central October 11
Ferry Corsten at Space Miami October 13
With arms wide open, jumping off the balcony. In 2006, Creed singer Scott Stapp was broken and bloody, hanging six-feet from the edge at the Delano Hotel on Miami Beach. But then T.I. swooped in to save the suicidal alt-rocker. No, this isn’t bullshit. It’s fact. And while the rapper…
You keep running up that hill. And if you get to the end early enough, you might get to some free beer. But you’re definitely going to get an earful of sweet art-pop sounds and enough chill, lo-fi grooves to settle your rambling soul. Join Sweat Records during Art Basel…
Get ready, everyone. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are house-hunting for $10-million Miami mansions. The fashionable, ego-centric couple was spotted wandering the MIA’s rainy streets yesterday, stopping to check out lots of properties, and grabbing each other’s delicious butt cheeks. Oh, to be rich, popular, and in love. But is…
EDM has America by the throat. But how did it get to be this way? Well, we can’t say definitively. Although, it kinda started with blogging hipsters in 2006. Hell, some of the DJs making waves on the scene today started out as bloggers, like Italian electro badass Congorock. He…
Sometimes it’s a good thing for a rapper to get caught in some crossfire. All that jazz about living what you rhyme and staying true to the streets and whatever. But is street cred ever worth more than $15,000? Jim Jones and his management team at 4th and Goal must…
Gotye is having a huge year. The Aussie singer, Wally De Backer, and his five-man band are riding the still-cresting wave of hit single “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which exhibits a stunning musicality and dedication to craft not often found on the Billboard Top 40. Last night, Gotye…
Wally De Backer, better known as Gotye, is seeing huge success with his most recent album Making Mirrors, especially hit single “Somebody That I Used To Know.” But that’s not quite the reaction he was expecting. In fact, De Backer wasn’t sure if he was creative enough when he wrote…
Not too long ago, Wally “Gotye” De Backer was sitting in his room, playing with loops and samples, building melodies and a lyrical narrative about “broken relationships” and “confusion.” As of press time, the music video for “Somebody I Used To Know” on the official GotyeMusic YouTube channel has 329,598,389…
Gotye wants to know if you’ve seen the mashup he just made. It’s actually quite the inspiring piece of work. Dude took more than 130 of the countless “Somebody That I Used to Know” covers and parodies on YouTube, sampled them, cut them up, and blended them into a moving,…
Ever eat a shit sandwich? Well, brrrother, go get your fill when Cedric Gervais and LIV’s all-out Sh!t Show on October 27. They’re going totally balls to the wall. In fact, Cedric and the superclassy Miami Beach club even held a search for the biggest shit-eater, -kicker, and/or -starter in…
Guys … Kanye is acting really weird. In a totally uncharacteristic move, the mouthiest, most self-righteous rapper breathing deleted all his genius tweets, with basically no warning or explanation. How could he do such a thing? Like, we’re gonna let you finish … But Kanye West is the best tweeter…
Hip-hop has rarely been heralded for its acceptance of the gay community, but all things must change with time. Lots of rappers and hip-hoppers are speculated to be gay. Lil B seemed like he was coming out when he dropped a mixtape entitled I’m Gay (I’m Happy), but denied it…
Somebody isn’t paying the piper, and he’s getting on MTV and bitching about it on red carpets. French Montana’s big pool party hit “Pop That,” featuring verses from Miami resident rappers Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Drake, seems to owe a lot of its success to a well-chopped sample from…
Diplo Dirty Hairy’s at LIV, Miami Beach Wednesday, October 3, 2012 Better Than: Being dead or in jail. Trappin’ is hard work. But someone’s gotta do it. Good thing the World’s Crunkest DJ came through town last night to serve the fiends with every bit of crack music they could…
Happy Birthday, Nielson! The SoundScan system just turned 20. And although it’s probably on its deathbed, Billboard is celebrating the watermark with a series of chart-topping lists. The latest release: The top 100 pop songs since the system’s implementation, back in ’92. Some Miami-bred musicians made the cut, with Pitbull,…
Pretty Lights With 12th Planet, Sounduo and SuperVision Fillmore Miami Beach Tuesday, October 2, 2012 Better Than: Pretty Lights has ever been. The man known as Pretty Lights puts on one hell of a show. He’s really gotta bring it with that kinda name. And he definitely lives up to…
What the hell is wrong with you, America? Look at you, sitting there covered in Cheeto dust, hearts pumping pure Coca-Cola, and you’re making fun of this nation’s beautiful pop tarts because they happen to put on 25 pounds? We here at Crossfade are tired of these finger-pointing, gut-busting shenanigans…
