Problem Kids are Miami Cubans with a message for Jay-Z about his trip to Cuba. Their response to his “Open Letter” is a new track called “Useful Idiot.” “He looks like he’s praising the Castro regime, and we wanna give him a history lesson,” say MCs Mario Obregon and Christian…
Senator Marco Rubio suggested that Jay-Z and Beyoncé have “no interest in Cuban People’s freedom.” And U.S. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart said that the pair’s recent visit “funds the machinery of oppression.” Pero, their constituent, Miami native, and Cuban-American rapper Pitbull thinks that the Carters’ Treasury-approved “educational exchange…
The Bawse says: “I apologize.” And this time, he means it. After a couple of weak attempts at defending his molly sex assault verse on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” (condescendingly calling “woman … the most precious gift known to man” and then cringe-worthily tweeting “”I dont condone rape. #BOSS”), William Roberts (AKA…
Maybe the sneaker mob over at Reebok was just waiting for one of Rick Ross’s homies to fire the first shot. So when Rocko announced that he was planning to strike the Bawse’s rape lyrics (“Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and…
It seems Jay-Z has been up to more than smoking cigars and celebrating his marriage in Cuba. He’s been busy penning and recording a serious dis track to all those haters who aren’t happy to see the first couple of hip-hop chillin’ so close to Castro. His recent vacation to…
The Bawse still got that fat shoe contract. But his molly sex assault verse is getting dropped from Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” Even though women’s rights organization UltraViolet, hundreds of rape victims, and 51,000 petitioners recently demanded “Reebok drop Rick Ross for bragging about drugging and raping a woman,” there’s been no…
As the don of Miami’s KOD, businessman, and booty-bass legend Disco Rick is the final word at “the world’s largest & sexiest adult club.” So what’s he gotta say about Trick Daddy allegedly chasing Lil Wayne and his Young Money crew out of King of Diamonds? “Yo, that fake news…
Only days after celebrating its fourth anniversary, Sound Theory Live has been canceled by public radio station WDNA. Hosted by Carlos Garcia, owner of The Stage and Miami New Times’ Best FM Personality of 2010, this weekly show “geared towards promoting the great local musicians by showcasing their talents live…
Everybody’s gotta answer to Da Mayor of Dade County. The other night at King of Diamonds, it was Lil Wayne’s turn, as Trick Daddy defended the 305 and his beloved #HeatGang by chasing the Young Money maniac outta the titty bar. No word yet from KOD. But we here at…
Eyewitness testimony is notoriously tricky. It’s a massive cause of wrongful criminal convictions in these United States of America. And it’s also the usual source for sloppy gossip reports about celebs sucking face in the VIP of South Beach’s glossiest megaclub. Like, say, this morning’s juicy New York Daily News…
“If anybody don’t like it, they can die tonight.” That was infamous Miami rapper and 305 rider Trick Daddy’s message to Lil Wayne after the Young Money maniac told 99 Jamz (and the world) that he “don’t apologize” for declaring war on the Miami Heat and its fans. Then a…
What are the perks of life as a has-been Bad Boy? Well, there’s continuing to cruise atop Forbes’ “Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artists” with personal riches exceeding $580 million. And then there’s flashing that cash and guzzling unlimited Cîroc while sucking face with freshly single Sports Illustrated swimsuit booberstar Kate Upton in…
She demanded answers. And she got them. And she’s still not satisfied. Pissed about “the highly publicized trip by U.S. musicians Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Beyoncé) and Shawn Carter (Jay-Z) to Cuba,” South Floridian member of the U.S. Congress Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) bashed the Carters for spending all them tourist dollas in…
When you’re the Carters on vacay in Cuba …. You’ve gotta expect to get slammed by South Florida’s exilio Cubanos. Even if you dress like Maya Angelou and her bagboy on a humanitarian mission circa ’64. So it was probably no surprise to Jay-Z and Beyonce when Republican politicos Ileana…
What a “Good Feeling”… You’re so deep in the “Sweet Spot” and so loaded with “Sugar” that dropping approximately $2,250,000 on a ride like the Bugatti Veyron ain’t no thang. But who’s even gonna “Let It Roll” unless it’s “100% Gold”? See also: -Flo Rida Scores the Cover of Miami…
Rick Ross insists the words spit on “U.O.E.N.O.” (“Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it”) don’t have anything at all to do with drugging a woman till she passes out so he can have…
Nudie bar regulars on NE 11th Street are weeping. Because, as the Miami Herald notes, downtown’s Goldrush strip club has closed. Just a couple of weeks ago, according to a police report, the joint was robbed of $42,480 in a safe heist that “the manager believes … to be committed…
He don’t belong to your motherfuckin’ “Clique.” Despite the fact that Marco Rubio’s got the Kanye, Big Sean, and Jay-Z collabo track looping through his Spotify playlist (not to mention Tupac’s “Changes,” Flo Rida’s “Good Feeling,” and Pitbull’s “Bon Bon”), it’s not like the Florida junior senator’s some sort of…
The Carters were officially OK-ed to vacay in Castro’s Cuba. According to “a source familiar with the itinerary,” Jay-Z and Beyonce’s controversial fifth-anniversary trip to the island, Reuters reports, was fully approved and licensed by the U.S. Treasury Department as a “people-to-people” cultural visit. UPDATE Marco Rubio says Jay-Z and…
“In case you haven’t heard, here’s the situation,” Sweat Records’ Lauren “Lolo” Reskin writes on the record shop’s blog. “Two companies have proposals on the table to completely renovate the Miami Beach Convention Center site. “South Beach ACE wants to preserve the Fillmore Miami Beach and make it better,” Reskin…
As supercouple Jay-Z and Beyoncé prep for World Humanitarian Day (“I’m doing something good,” Mrs. Carter tweets, “somewhere, for someone else. Join me!”), they’re also getting slammed by South Floridian members of Congress Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart for helping to “fund the machinery of oppression.” How exactly? Spending all…
There are few things manlier — and in a woman’s case, womanlier — than stepping out of “the closet” and letting the world know you’re gay. And you’d be an asshole not to respect someone with that kind of courage. But you’d be an even bigger culo to issue a…
