Has anyone seen the ’90s? What about the ’00s? Somehow, those two decades simply came and went, taking pagers, the newspaper industry, and record stores along with ’em. On the bright side, however, Father Time spared Naughty by Nature’s enduring 1993 hit, “Hip Hop Hooray,” which turned 20 years old…
Punxsutawney Phil is quite possibly the worst friggin’ groundhog weatherman in the world. Not only did the Pennsylvanian woodchuck predict an early spring about a week before a massive snowstorm ravaged the Northeast, Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day co-star also failed to mention that at least one part of Miami is…
Double-platinum country music recording star and the oft-tormented Mindy McCready was found dead at her Arkansas property last night, the victim of an apparent suicide. She was 37. According to a statement released by the Cleburne County Sheriff’s office, McCready died of a self-inflected gunshot wound Sunday afternoon on the…
The artist formerly known as Tity Boi (AKA 2 Chainz) was “riding round [and] gettin’ it” with six of his homies last night on his way to a homecoming show at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore when state police pulled the rapper over on a routine traffic stop. Unfortunately…
It’s the worst feeling in the world; you’ve washed the blood off your hands and packed the corpse in the trunk when, all of a sudden, you and your accomplices find a heavily bandaged wheelchair-bound man on the side of the road. Exposed only by a small hole in the…
He can often be found eating the type of stuff we step on: bugs, leaves, dirt, etc. He’s also given himself an enema while “stranded” in the middle of the ocean on a bamboo raft, frequently chugs his own urine, and has even slept inside of a dead camel. A…
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at Fillmore Miami Beach February 16
God bless Atlanta, dammit. In terms of hip-hop, the ATL is always at the forefront of swag, pumping out bangers from some of the game’s crunkest solo artists and rap crews. Among them are three MCs — Ali, Quez and Strap — from the Atlanta suburb of Decatur, known collectively…
An unassuming group of young “angels” report for service wearing modest street clothes similar to that of their peers from Juarez, Mexico. Soon, however, they’ll ditch their humble garb for elaborate DIY costumes, transforming from everyday teens and pre-teens to remarkable fearless champions of peace. Unlike a great deal of…
While Internet-era culture boosters promote the idea that anyone can write, record, and produce quality music, Tucson-based rapper Murs does not. A veteran hip-hop hustler who broke onto the underground scene as a solo artist when he released F’Real in 1997, Murs encourages artists to think twice about what they’re…
Dressed dapper in designer duds, a hungry Rick Ross walked the red carpet of the 55th annual Grammy Awards last night, eager to take a bite out of his competition and jump on a chartered flight back to Miami with a gold-plated gramophone under his arm for God Forgives, I…
It’s 5 a.m., and an impromptu, collective chant to the tune of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” fills the streets of Baltimore. The city’s beloved Ravens were crowned Super Bowl XLVII champions roughly eight hours ago, but the team’s diehard fans are still celebrating the victory with the squad’s…
The last time that a kaleidoscope of bright colors bounced rhythmically to the beat of Swedish House Mafia’s “One,” we promised ourselves to never drop a hallucinogenic drug at a music festival again. It was a very bad trip. But then we started thinking: How would we stomach overproduced electro…
Rick Ross has may have a “Fuckin’ Problem,” but a drive-by shooting ain’t one. On the same day that Funkmaster Flex debuted the MMG Kingpin’s “Fuckin’ Problem” freestyle, Rozay was all smiles after leaving a Beverly Hills restaurant yesterday with his head held high and puffing on a fat stogie…
It’s only happened once, and it wasn’t even real — a recreational pot-smoking session gone terribly wrong. Blanche was simply playing the piano cartoonishly fast to soothe Ralph’s mind. But when Jack showed up unexpectedly, Ralph lost his shit and killed the man. The police arrived shortly thereafter and arrested…
It’s February, and that means Cupid’s arrow may soon pierce your little heart and cripple your vulnerable soul with love. Or maybe it’s something that feels like love, but actually turns out to be a costly gaffe. Whatever. At the end of the day, we’re all just a little “Lost…
Poor Chris Brown. After beating his gorgeous girlfriend in 2009, going ape-shit on the set of Good Morning America in 2011, brawling with Drake’s posse at a New York City nightclub in the summer of 2012, insensitively dressing up like a terrorist for Halloween last year, and probably calling Frank…
ADHD? Downs? Three nipples? Slurred speech? What damage is subpar NBA star Kris Humphries doing to Kayne West’s unborn baby? According to TMZ, Yeezy’s pregnant “perfect bitch,” Kim Kardashian, is mad stressed about her and estranged husband Humphries’s sluggish divorce proceedings. And during a recent house call, her personal doctor…
We’re suckers. For years, retailers have made a fortune off love-stricken individuals who feel obligated to spend copious amounts of money on stuffed bears, heart-shaped boxes of crappy chocolate-covered cherries, sappy holiday cards, and dinner for two at underwhelming (albeit overpriced) restaurants, all in the name of Valentine’s Day. But…
The timing? Perfect. Happy hour at the strip club was starting to feel like a XXX version of Bill Murray’s Groundhog Day. It’s the same three songs over and over and over again. We’ve already experienced how every “big booty ho” works the pole to 2 Chainz’s “Birthday Song,” and…
The jury is still deliberating over whether or not Miami is a “real” sports town. The city’s pride and joy, the NBA’s Miami Heat, do a good job filling seats—after the first quarter—and a new stadium helped raise the Marlins’ average attendance this past season, despite a lousy record. But…
When her nomination was confirmed in 2009, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor became only the third woman to serve in the nation’s highest court. She also became the elite nine’s first Latino justice. Despite her historic career, however, Justice Sotomayor maintains that she is no different from those who also…
