“The bus smells like the bologna sandwiches at DCJ,” a friend recently quipped. He was sitting next to a woman who kept shouting about Jesus on a seemingly never-ending bus ride to South Beach. “This is wacky, bro.” Indeed it is. But it’s that very stench of stale deli meat…
Check out Crossfade’s complete list of winners and losers at last night’s Billboard Latin Music Awards. The Billboard Latin Music Awards picked up where it left off last year. With Pitbull.

Did you know that there are only 248 days left in the year? Yeah, 2012’s flying by, and every minute that you spend online is a minute wasted. Unless you’re getting paid to write music-related weekend guides, there’s no reason for you to be bullshitting online and trolling Facebook for…
Miami can be so annoying, bro. Irregardless of our broken English, poor syntax, and tik-tiki music, the Big Mango can be tremenda mierda sometimes. From shitty drivers to Pitbull’s overuse of the word “dale,” there’s so much shit to be embarrassed about.Pero at the end of the day, Miami’s better…

Shuffling through Record Store Day release bins this past Saturday left us feeling empty. Sure, we picked up some fine RSD stuff and supported local business. But all we really wanted was a Van Halen seven-inch. Wait! What’s that? If we buy Van Halen’s A Different Kind of Truth after…
Peace out, April. It was a relatively wack-ass month. Aside from a few days of killer weather, April brought nothing. The Marlins are dead last in the National League East, struggling to bounce back from an embarrassing record and a managerial black eye. On the bright side, however, the Panthers…
Can the Chip Ganassi Racing With Felix Sabates team superduo of American Scott Pruett and Mexican Memo Rojas pull off a back-to-back-to-back three-peat at this year’s Grand Prix of Miami?

Rick Ross, Pitbull, and Other Rappers’ Paternity Suits
Calvin Harris, Maroon 5, Flo Rida, Gym Class Heroes, Enrique Iglesias … It reads like the soundtrack listing of a PG-13 rom-com.

The year was 1973. Legendary music journalist Ben Fong-Torres lands a sit-down interview with then 43-year-old Dick Clark at his Malibu home. After snacking on berries dipped in brown sugar and topped with sour cream, the self-described “naive, long-haired inquisitor from San Francisco” on assignment for Rolling Stone magazine asks…
It was about as unexpected as a Chinese sinkhole — a hip-hop heavyweight and, well, a former heavyweight. Last night, Rick Ross and Mariah Carey, together in a Miami recording studio with Jermaine Dupri and DJ Khaled. “Rozay and MiMi,” Ross tweeted at around 1 a.m. Attached to the late…

Drug addiction, alleged spousal abuse… That’s all behind him. Ever since Whitney Houston drowned in a Los Angeles bathtub, Bad Bobby Brown’s been able to focus on the important stuff like fighting a DUI charge in California and hitting the road with his Boston-bred R&B group, New Edition. The 43-year-old…
Sandwiched between Usher on May 18 and a “special Thursday” performance by the future American Idol champ and runner-up on May 31, Pitbull has been added to the mainstream list of musical acts tackling the Today Show stage as one of several participating in the year’s Toyota Summer Concert Series…
Life is incredibly unfair. Dick Clark, dead at 82. The thought of it makes us sick to our stomach. Is a world without “the oldest teenager” even a world worth enduring? While all hope may seem lost, we’re here to remind you that there’re still plenty of awesome reasons –…

Kanye West … The dude’s obviously troubled. And according to at least two exes, he’s got an awfully violent temper. If the rumors are true, Kim Kardashian may be dating a physically abusive mental case with a dangerously short fuse and a celebrity porn obsession. Worst of all, she is…
