In 1994, Hot 97 became the country’s first true rap station. Nearly 20 years later, FM rap music’s holiest institution is using its annual Summer Jam festival as a forum to diss one of contemporary hip-hop’s most powerful crews, Young Money. Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg was addressing a large…
Despite the fact that Gotye had two solo LPs under his belt before releasing last year’s Making Mirrors, it wasn’t until the Australian released a xylophone-heavy track that he became a household name. This week, “Somebody That I Used to Know” became the year’s biggest hit, comfortably spending its seventh…
Scan the first few rows at a Miami Heat home game and you’re sure to find a few celebrities. Birdman, for example, got plenty of TV time during Wednesday’s win against the Boston Celtics. Oh, and Rick Ross, Diddy, Gloria Estefan … They’re all regulars at the AAA. On the…
Hello, June. Let’s keep our fingers that the last of the cannibal attacks are behind us, so we can go back to using bath salts responsibly, like in tubs or small doses. With the tourists gone and the zombies defeated, the city is ours again. It’s safe to come out…
About two months ago, Kanye West released a Kim Kardashian love song (and Kris Humphries diss track) titled “Theraflu.” You know, like cold medicine. Since then, the rapper and reality star have neither confirmed nor denied their relationship. But they’ve totally been spotted holding hands and kissing while enjoying shit…
Take some coarsely chopped fruit, a bit of apple juice, some water, apricot preserve, and a little soy sauce. Add a few pinches of garlic powder, dry mustard, and a half-cup of brown sugar. Now you’ve got yourself some edible duck sauce. For sonic Duck Sauce, however, it only takes…
The seemingly endless traffic nightmare is over. The crowds have gone home. That’s right — Memorial Day weekend 2012 came and went, and now the locals have reclaimed South Beach. The nightclubs are back to business as usual, booking superfamous international DJs and catering to the bottle-popping, fist-pumping tiki-tiki music…
Your gray 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer has 150,000 miles. A broken radio antenna dangles lifelessly from the back windshield; it’s the car’s only definable feature. To say your Lancer is generic would be putting it mildly. Unwashed and rather forgettable, it could be any number of vehicles in the parking lot…

While a nude alumnus of North Miami Beach High was busy chewing a homeless man’s face off, Beyoncé was making headlines of her own some 1,200-miles from the gruesome scene now known as Miami’s zombie apocalypse. Of course, Mrs. Jay-Z wasn’t high on bath salts and going all cannibal. Instead,…
Though he lived life like a nine-year-old kid (climbing trees, hosting sleepovers, enjoying water-balloon fights, etc.), Michael Jackson was a grown man when he sent Lisa Marie Presley a hand-written note in the early ’90s about his battle with sleep deprivation. But despite its author being an adult male, the…

There’s a famous dicho Cubano that our grandmother used to say. And it goes, Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres. Roughly translated, it means you are the company you keep. And evidently, Justin Bieber’s relationship with Floyd “Money” Mayweather has transformed the innocent 18-year-old pop star into…
Last year, it was a $5.6-million IRS tax debt. Last month, it was a $20-million “Lollipop” lawsuit settled out of court. Today, it’s a $400,000 judgment for not popping bottles at a Las Vegas nightclub. Lil Wayne and his Canadian BFF, Drake, have been ordered to fork over $432,337.50 to…
Less than two years ago, Miami music’s biggest cheerleader, Fernando Perdomo, penned a track entitled, “I’m Not Gonna Move to LA.” To his credit, Perdomo’s kept his promise. But had the track been called, “I’m Not Gonna Move to LA (or Any of Its Suburbs),” he would’ve had some serious…
Win free tickets to Afrojack’s Jacked Summer Tour at Mansion Miami on June 15 and 16.
