If you’re going to listen to a DJ Pauly D set and you care at all about the legitimacy of the art form, you’ll need to get very, very drunk. But if you just really like clubbing and tanning and Pauly D, you’ll still probably want to get very, very…
Whether Lil Wayne is actually persona non grata at the American Airlines Arena remains a mystery. What is certain, however, is that Weezy is a classless, kiss-and-tellin’ fool who has fallen so far off the cultural-relevancy radar that only a childish rant about a professional basketball team and one of its…
We here at Crossfade can’t wait to get back to doin’ the Backyard Boogie, gettin’ drunk in the midafternoon, just straight sippin’ from a pitcher of cold brew at Wood Tavern. So it’s exciting to hear that the Wynwood hangout could be getting an OK from the City of Miami…
Question #1: Is Lil Wayne banned from the home of the Miami Heat? Maybe. Although, the team hasn’t said shit since Weezy went bonkers, howling, “Fuck LeBron! Fuck She-Wade! … And, and, and, I fucked Chris Bosh wife!” during All-Star weekend in Houston. Question #2: Did LeBron, D-Wade, Bosh, and…
Who is “Chris Bosh’s wife”? Well, we here at Crossfade, like everyone else living in Heat Nation, know her as Adrienne Williams, a lovely Venezuelan lady who secretly married the (almost) seven-footer in 2011 and then gave birth to a beautiful baby Bosh in 2012. But… The rest of America…
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…
A warning: Don’t fuck with the Heat. Unless you wanna get burned. And then chased outta town by a rabid mob of hard-core Dade County sports fanatics, led by a freakish orange-haired mascot with a miniature green basketball for a face. Of course, Lil Wayne don’t listen to nobody. So…
“This ain’t no Twitter beefin’ or no online beef.” Last night at the Beats By Dre’s NBA All-Star Game finale party, Lil Wayne officially declared war on the Miami Heat. “You let them niggas know I’m from the streets,” the Young Money maniac snarled. “Just take it to the motherfucking…
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…
Wait … We thought the whole Deadmau5 vs. Ultra Music Festival thing had been resolved? Back in December 2011, the King Rat (a repeat Ultra headliner) kicked off a largely one-sided feud by posting a YouTube rant that slammed the festival for its high ticket prices, exclusivity contracts, and doing…
It’s damn tough trying keep a bar or club open in Miami. Most times, as soon as the shine wears off a cool new joint, our city’s fickle glitterati and hipster horde simply get sick of the place, dismissing it as “over” and dooming yet another party spot to nightlife…
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…
With just 29 days till Downtown Miami’s Bayfront Park becomes totally flooded with LED-wielding beat freaks … Ultra Music Festival 2013 has announced its Phase 3 lineup. Among this final round of 40-plus acts: Intrepid Ultra defender Tommie Sunshine, along with Marco Bailey, Christian Smith, DJ Marky, Dieselboy, Mark Knight,…
Growing up in the 305, Danny Daze started out as a 13-year-old DJ inspired by the ass-quaking bass of DJ Laz, Crazy Legs, and Dynamix II. “I really got influenced by the b-boy scene in Miami — Hot Wheels, Thunder Wheels,” he told Crossfade last year. “Then little by little…
“I hate this. I hate this so much. I love you and Im sorry.” That’s the desperately apologetic message that Lady Gaga sent out to all her Little Monsters after being forced to suddenly cancel four Born This Way Ball Tour dates because she “could not walk” following Monday’s show…
Just count the exclamation points … With every passing year, Hard Events’ electronic dance music cruise only gets more epic. And Crossfade can vouch for that fact ’cause we’ve been aboard the MSC Poesia for each and every edition of this EDM rager at sea since 2011. Now prepping its…
Who didn’t get a little wet watching Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z kill it at the Grammys? We haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. We just keep rewatching the clip and dreaming about seeing them in person. Well, thankfully, our dreams are rumored to become reality. If the New…
The Biebz is feelin’ unloved. Yeah … Despite being an unfunny bazillionaire with good hair who gets to host Saturday Night Live (because SNL’s ratings among tweenage girls suck?), Justin Bieber feels he deserves mooooooooore. Namely, a Grammy. (Or at least a nomination.) ‘Cause, like, he’s made huge contributions to…
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…
Who could’ve guessed that Israeli dubstepper and Miley Cyrus collaborator Borgore’s set would be cut short at Story Nightclub on South Beach this past weekend? Well, how about @BlakeMinto1, a local Twitter user and “DJ/Producer” who spent Friday night wondering: “Borgore sucks why do people wanna go to Story so…
Puerto Rico stand up! Miami’s own Marlow Rosado was awarded the Grammys’ Best Latin Tropical Album for his band La Riqueña’s May release Retro, a “salsa duro” nostalgia project covering golden-age classics from the 1970s. The album was recorded, produced, arranged, and promoted right out of the 305, and features…
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…
