Valentine’s Day is next week. You’ll likely be suckered into dropping mad loot on something extravagant like a $1,400 couples massage or $400 surf ‘n’ turf dinner inside a private pool cabana at the Four Seasons. Naturally, staying put this weekend and saving your money would be the adult thing…
There was a time, circa 1991, when hip-hop wasn’t all about bling and bitches. Back in the day, the beat dropped and so did some Gil-Scott Heron-inspired wordplay, a call for justice in the inner city, and a shout-out to Malcolm X. Founded by rapper Speech (born Todd Thomas), Atlanta…
Quick, grab our tongue. This “Niggas in Paris” video is so “cray” that we’re ignoring the Epilepsy Action warning and risking a seizure just to get through it. The Jay-Z and Kanye West’s globetrotting banger was featured on the duo’s collaborative Watch the Throne record. Together, Ye and Jay performed…
Did you know that Young Money Cash Money Billionaire boss Lil Wayne isn’t actually a billionaire? Well, homie … It’s true. Despite squashing his $5.6-million beef with the IRS, slanging 1.92 million copies of Tha Carter IV in this totally shitty economy, ranking among Billboard’s Top Artists for the last…
The Herd has finally landed on the beaches of Virginia Key. It’s been over two decades since Donna the Buffalo’s Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear “led a mass gathering of its friends, fellow bands, and followers — nicknamed The Herd — to Ithaca, New York, for the inaugural Finger Lakes…

What started out as a fairly modest afterhours party at the former Studio A space in Downtown Miami in 2006 has since evolved into the WMC event par excellence. Of course, we’re talking about Crosstown Rebels’ Get Lost. And now in its seventh installment, this party has pretty much come…
Sweet Jesus, why would anyone want to set sail aboard a cruise ship and party with a bunch of hipsters this weekend when there are so many great tiki-tiki parties on South Beach? Just kidding. We’d much rather be aboard the Carnival Imagination for the second annual Bruise Cruise than…

Simultaneously reviving the clubland economy and refueling America’s obesity epidemic, fast food giant McDonald’s is damn near ready to crown this year’s “hottest DJ” at a hamburger party inside South Beach’s Cameo Nightclub. But first, three mix-masters will have to woo a panel of judges comprised of relatively washed-up “celebrities”…
