It’s been more than a decade since Mystikal had a hit, but he can still hit it from the back. At least, that’s what porn star Pinky said when she heard the out-of-jail rapper would choose her to take his XXX virginity. Basically, if Mystikal can’t make another hit record…

Scott Storch has been making hot beats for over a decade. His skills once made him a wanted man by hip-hop and R&B acts. But now his dead-beat ways have got him wanted by the cops. And that’s not exactly the kind of hot drop you want as a big-time…
“Dance music has officially taken over America! This is it, dance fans!

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are getting into some pretty freaky sex practices. You know, watching each other’s sex tapes. And now, public paparazzi beating. How much kink can Kimye take? At least, it seems to be getting Ms. Kardashian off. Just check the cut to see the grin on…
Is Gunplay guilty of pulling a gun, just to jack a cell phone and chain from a Tax Place employee? Is this how Don Logan goes down? Is this the end of the Human L.A. Riot? On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Play (born Richard Morales Jr.) surrendered to Miami police on…
Art is cool. But the coolest part is the free booze and tiny extravagant hors d’oeuvres. Remember that Basel week when the punks raided a truckload of Campari and then drank it all in the parking lot next to The Stage? Well, this weekend’s gallery get-togethers might not yield any…
Justin Bieber is a fucking cock tease. Remember when we here at Crossfade totally called the impending leak of sexy-time pics and vids following the news of Justin Bieber’s stolen laptop? Well, we were 100-percent right. But it’s just gotten even more complicated and convoluted. Yesterday, after some alleged Bieber…
There aren’t enough Johnson Family Vacation residual checks to pull Bow Wow out of the financial web of shit he’s spun for himself since dropping “Lil” from his name. The Atlanta-based rapper-tuned-actor is just one parachute pantsuit away from inheriting the world’s worst money manager award from MC Hammer, failing…
It’s gettin’ “Hot in Herre.” Last night, as reported by Crossfade’s sister blog with the Riverfront Times, Nelly tour bus was raided by cops in Sierra Blanca, Texas. The rapper/actor/non-profit philanthropist’s ride was stopped at a border patrol checkpoint. A police dog detected the presence of narcotics. And, uh, they…
“Fucking badass!” That’s how Cubed, the bass player and so-called “15th Level Wizard of Sound Manipulation” for local groove crew Space Between Words, describes his band’s latest project: Magnetron Studios. “It’s in the heart of the South Miami art district,” SBW singer and guitar guy Steven Weingarth adds. “We partnered…
Life served Justin Bieber a warm glass of tough shit when someone swiped the 18-year-old’s computer and digital camera. “Yesterday during the show, me and my tour manager Josh had some stuff stolen,” Bieber tweeted. “Really sucks. People should respect other’s property.” The incident happened in Washington on Tuesday night…
Break out the credit card, beat freaks. Oh, and shave your legs. Tie that half-naked guy bow tie. Fluff up your purple mini-skirt tutu. Squeeze into those studly short shorts. And straighten out your human bumblebee antennae. With only 162 days, six hours, 59 minutes, and 33 seconds till the…
In 1990, a concerned citizen by the name of Terence D. Edwards wrote a letter to the New York Times encouraging the public to reject 2 Live Crew. “The imagery of 2 Live Crew’s lyrics and stage performance is of sexual degradation and sneering self-satisfaction,” he wrote, “repeatedly and venomously…
When Mitt Romney pledged to “stop the subsidy to PBS” and save the country $445 million dollars annually (or 0.012 percent of the federal budget), the GOP presidential candidate also inadvertently vowed to jeopardize broad, primetime access to previously recorded live indie music. Forget Sesame Street, why would anyone want…
Even though there’s been an open, outstanding arrest warrant on his ass for the last six months, Maybach Music Group member Gunplay ain’t sweating the small shit.

What’s the quickest way to dump several million dollars into a local economy, create nearly 1,000 jobs, and generate upwards of $10 million in federal, state, and local taxes? Simple, gather a bunch of electronic dance music artists and drop them in the middle of Downtown Miami, then add 165,000…
Call them drug-addict miscreants. Call them exuberant idiots. Call them offensive, often incomprehensible animals with a penchant for the ridiculous and a taste for filth. There are a lot of hideous things that you could call Mogliarch the Travesty (government name Zac Negron) and the Weatherman (Sergio Mendez) of rap…
Besides “spaghetti and milk,” Justin Bieber didn’t give much of an explanation as to why he puked on stage last week during the first North American show of his Believe tour. He simply said that he’d try to get better for the following night’s show and inexplicably tweeted an emo-ish…
Sometimes it’s a good thing for a rapper to get caught in some crossfire. All that jazz about living what you rhyme and staying true to the streets and whatever. But is street cred ever worth more than $15,000? Jim Jones and his management team at 4th and Goal must…
Emetophiles (i.e vomit fetishists) are having the best month ever, and there are still 23 days left in October! Last week, Justin Bieber spewed chunks twice while on stage in Arizona during the kickoff to his Believe tour. And this weekend, Lady Gaga one-upped the Biebz by barfing thrice during…
Guys … Kanye is acting really weird. In a totally uncharacteristic move, the mouthiest, most self-righteous rapper breathing deleted all his genius tweets, with basically no warning or explanation. How could he do such a thing? Like, we’re gonna let you finish … But Kanye West is the best tweeter…
