Bobby Peru. Special Request. Hip Therapist. Wooly. Those are just a few of the guises that UK DJ-producer Paul Woolfoord has assumed over the years. And his sound is just as elusive as his artistic identity — straddling house, techno, UK hardcore, and bass. Nevertheless, in spite of his sonic…
Before the show, Steve Aoki tweeted, “MADRID!!!!! HOLA! IM HERE IN YOUR CITY! READY TO PARTY WITH U! SOLD OUT TONIGHT! WOOHOOO!” But Halloween went bad in the Spanish capital, where Aoki’s concert ended in tragedy after three women died in a post-show stampede. Spin reports that paramedics were called…
Backed by DJ Eric B’s expertly sampled soul-funk-R&B ejaculations, late ’80s rapper Rakim was a true hip-hop innovator who broke from the first wave’s Mother Goose rhyme schemes and party-shout vocal delivery. The duo is regarded as one of the all-time greats. Rakim sans Eric B? That’s a slightly different…
Plenty of pervs (including certain particularly twisted members of the Crossfade staff) would probably pay for the pleasure of being punched, kicked, and slapped in public by Latin pop sexpot Paulina Rubio. But not her former male assistant, Mr. Felipe Restrepo Betancur. This guy’s suing Ms. Rubio for allegedly beating…

It was the second seizure heard ’round the rap world. A year after Rick Ross suffered a pair of mid-flight epileptic episodes, Lil Wayne’s private jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Texas following the Young Money Cash Money capo’s own medical nightmare at 30,000 feet. As a…
There’s just somethin’ ’bout Kreay. The O-Town rapper has copped a lot of fame recently, leading up to her major label release and a big nationwide tour that she can only describe as “crazy.” Her travels will bring her to our very own LIV for a special performance on Wednesday,…
What two things do Chris Brown and anradical Islamist terrorist have in common? Easy! They both treat women like shit and occasionally wear the same clothes. Still struggling to trigger the think-before-you-act part of the brain that humans typically rely on for day-to-day life, Breezy thought it’d be a good…
In the immortal words of hip-pop visionaries Loving My Friends and Others, more commonly known as LMFAO: “We’re in Miami, bitch.” In fact, we here at Crossfade are drink-all-day, play-all-night, party-rocking freaks who spend every Thursday-through-Sunday getting wasted in the megaclubs, wearing Vans, and stumbling in the sand with a…

Not everyone thinks that the Reggie-Bush-slept-with-Kim-Kardashian-before-Kanye-West joke is funny. Especially Yeezy himself. So when a local female paparazzo teased West and current girlfriend Kim Kardashian about the Miami Dolphins running back, the notoriously ill-tempered MC lost his shit and nearly slapped the woman. However, since the power couple is shopping…
