Immigration’s off his back. And that nasty attempted murder charge … Chalk it under pardoned. Not only is Slick Rick on top of the world, he’s straight touring it. The Ruler’s Back, bitches!

His Innervisions imprint, for one. Since…
Gary, Indiana’s favorite wardrobe malfunction is bringing her pasties to South Beach. Early this morning, Crossfade received a very excited press release from New Times Best Flack 2011 winner Woody Graber.

Wyclef Jean Sun Life Stadium September 3, 2011 Better Than: Being president of Haiti. Or at least, that’s what Wyclef tells himself. The last Super Saturday concert I went to after a Florida Marlins game at Sun Life Stadium, the lead singer of KC and The Sunshine Band pulled out…
Seth Bogart is unapologetically horny, and he’ll be at The Stage this weekend. As the flamboyantly fabulous frontman of Hunx and His Punx, the onstage banter between Bogart and the crowd often consists of boner references, pee fetish pillow talk, and the occasional loose pubic hair in someone’s mouth. He…

Oh, Dolly! There’s no tinier, bustier, more magnificent country singer than she. You can Shania Twain and Taylor Swift all night long. But nothing compares to those big Parton pearlies glowing between smiling red lips. Of course, Parton isn’t just a bubbly personality with giant blond hair and huge breasts…
You might be wondering: Just what the hell have the Beatles got to do with Willy Chirino? Admittedly, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” is a far cry from “Oxigeno” and “Sexy Sadie” is worlds removed from “Soy Guajiro.” But make no mistake, whether or not you recognize the Fab Four’s fingerprint on the…

Pablo MilanesAmerican Airlines ArenaAugust 28, 2011(Definitely) Better than: the tiny protest outside.There’d been so much raging hysteria and controversy swirling through Spanish-language talk radio and TV news in the days before Cuban cantautor Pablo Milanés’s concert, that I was genuinely freaked out. At first I was all like, ugh, whatever,…

Felix da Housecat LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Wednesday, August 24, 2011 Last night, when Felix da Housecat came out at LIV, he lit the place up with big beats. His set was the one of two pros among many cons at the Fontainebleau’s posh nightclub. The other was…
