Strip clubs across the country (if not the world) owe the city of Miami a lap dance. Had it not been for our late ’80s and early ’90s bass, pole dancers may have never shown us that “Tootsee Roll” or how to buss the “Kitty Kitty.” During booty music’s most…
The shortened 2011/2012 NBA season ended on a remarkably sour note for the Boston Celtics this past June. After all, the Miami Heat did manage to knock the C’s out of the playoffs for a second straight year, advancing to the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But the…

Glen Matlock may be a Rick Kid, but he certainly isn’t some “middle-class mommy’s boy.” Last year, the former bassist and co-founding member of legendary punk band Sex Pistols took a cheap shot to the nuts when ex-bandmate Steve Jones trashed his rock ‘n’ roll brother. In an interview with…
It’s perhaps one of the most storied rivalries in football, and maybe all of sports: the University of Miami Hurricanes versus the Florida State Seminoles. Historically, the Canes have dominated, leading the all-time series 31-25. But in recent years, the Noles have made gains, winning three of the past five…
The Miami Heat finished last season with a victory party at LIV and a ticker-tape parade on Biscayne Boulevard. They were crowned NBA champs for a second time in franchise history and won the ESPN Espy award for best damn team in all of sports. But had there been an…

A tragic scene at a local car wash has left one man dead and his killer on the loose. As already noted by Miami New Times’ Riptide, Miami rapper Bizzle (born Robert Labranche) was shot and killed last night by an unidentified assassin at NW Seventh Avenue and NW 54th…
There aren’t enough Johnson Family Vacation residual checks to pull Bow Wow out of the financial web of shit he’s spun for himself since dropping “Lil” from his name. The Atlanta-based rapper-tuned-actor is just one parachute pantsuit away from inheriting the world’s worst money manager award from MC Hammer, failing…
Rihanna’s under-boob tattoo has made a comeback. Earlier today, the singer surprised her fans by revealing both the release date and cover art for her forthcoming record. Appropriately titled Unapologetic, RiRi’s seventh studio album will hit shelves on November 19, MTV reports. But even more exciting is the fact that…
When Band of Horses tapped legendary British music producer Glyn Johns (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who) to engineer, mix, and produce Mirage Rock, frontman Ben Bridwell knew full well that he needed to go into the studio less prepared than he’d been on previous albums. “[Johns] really wanted…
Life served Justin Bieber a warm glass of tough shit when someone swiped the 18-year-old’s computer and digital camera. “Yesterday during the show, me and my tour manager Josh had some stuff stolen,” Bieber tweeted. “Really sucks. People should respect other’s property.” The incident happened in Washington on Tuesday night…
In his 2011 comedy concert, Laugh at My Pain, Kevin Hart dedicated a portion of the set to his good friend Dwyane Wade and why they can’t kick it anymore. “That’s a good friend of mine. I love Dwyane to death,” he sad in the act. “[But] here’s the thing:…
It’s week six in the NFL season, and surprise, surprise, the Miami Dolphins aren’t quite as crappy as we thought. Sure, they’ve had tough losses against the Cardinals and Jets, but a lot of that has to do with Dan Carpenter’s fragile kicker’s ego. Thankfully, bright spots have been aplenty…

In 1990, a concerned citizen by the name of Terence D. Edwards wrote a letter to the New York Times encouraging the public to reject 2 Live Crew. “The imagery of 2 Live Crew’s lyrics and stage performance is of sexual degradation and sneering self-satisfaction,” he wrote, “repeatedly and venomously…
When Mitt Romney pledged to “stop the subsidy to PBS” and save the country $445 million dollars annually (or 0.012 percent of the federal budget), the GOP presidential candidate also inadvertently vowed to jeopardize broad, primetime access to previously recorded live indie music. Forget Sesame Street, why would anyone want…
