Diplo Dirty Hairy’s at LIV, Miami Beach Wednesday, October 3, 2012 Better Than: Being dead or in jail. Trappin’ is hard work. But someone’s gotta do it. Good thing the World’s Crunkest DJ came through town last night to serve the fiends with every bit of crack music they could…
Somebody isn’t paying the piper, and he’s getting on MTV and bitching about it on red carpets. French Montana’s big pool party hit “Pop That,” featuring verses from Miami resident rappers Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Drake, seems to owe a lot of its success to a well-chopped sample from…
Whenever Dirty Harry isn’t blasting the brains outta unlucky punks or snarling at empty smartass socialist chairs, he’s keeping it cool with a copy of “Ornithology.” That’s right … Clint Eastwood is a jazz junkie. He has produced and directed Bird, a biopic about bebop pioneer and heroin casualty Charlie…
Oy vey, what are you supposed to get a 36-year-old, 300-pound MC for his bar mitzvah? Do you go the quarter-pound of OG Kush route? Or the subtly extravagant iPad sleeve made of purebred dachshund fur route? And what’s the difference between a Black Bar Mitzvah and a standard run-of-the-mill…
Had Mannie Fresh heard womp-womp “from the amplifiers” instead of boom after “the truck went uh-uh” in “Still Fly,” Big Tymers’ Hood Rich would’ve been a completely different record 10 years ahead of its time. We’re glad he didn’t. Producing electro beats with enough swag to effortlessly pump through “four…
Even though 2006 inductees Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols might think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is “a piss stain” that charges too much for dinner and a gala, there are plenty of “music industry people” (i.e. not gaping A-holes) who’d be happy to grab a decent…

It’s a sad state of affairs when Rihanna and Chris Brown are sucking face and playing grab ass inside New York City’s Griffin nightclub. TMZ reports that Breezy and RiRi spent the better part of Monday night and early Tuesday morning “all over each other.” The former couple was allegedly…
Pretty Lights With 12th Planet, Sounduo and SuperVision Fillmore Miami Beach Tuesday, October 2, 2012 Better Than: Pretty Lights has ever been. The man known as Pretty Lights puts on one hell of a show. He’s really gotta bring it with that kinda name. And he definitely lives up to…
Dancing is about fucking. Period. Anyone who says they just loooove to dance is either lying or totally DTF. Dancing dirty is just dancing honestly. This mating ritual is an essential cog in the complex machine that is The Birds and The Bees. But there is more than one way…
All is not well on the set of American Idol. More evidence that Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey despise one another was revealed last night after a video of the two Idol judges bickering like two drunk Hialeah chongas at an Ale House was leaked onto the Internet. According to…
What the hell is wrong with you, America? Look at you, sitting there covered in Cheeto dust, hearts pumping pure Coca-Cola, and you’re making fun of this nation’s beautiful pop tarts because they happen to put on 25 pounds? We here at Crossfade are tired of these finger-pointing, gut-busting shenanigans…
The most recent edition of the annual BET Hip-Hop Awards was less trophies-and-speeches and more WWE Monday Night Raw. First and foremost, the Bawse Ricky Ross stirred up some seriously harsh vibes when he and Young Jeezy got into a spitty spat that resulted in the senseless smashing of a…
Y’all ever miss the days when a Jansport full of Phillies, a quarter-pound of Grand Daddy Purp, and a cassette copy of Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday was all you needed in life? Us too. Now we’re stuck with shit like smartphones and complimentary fast-access Internet inside highway service plazas. Newspapers…
Who’s that get-it girl rakin’ in all those millions? Forbes just released its list of filthiest rich bitches, counting down the leading ladies with the most cake. No surprise, Oprah tops the chart. But six musically inclined females nestled up behind her. Well, about $100 million behind. So which pop…
