Lil Wayne cannot recall a goddamn thing. From his time behind bars on Rikers Island to selling the most records of any musician in 2008, the YMCMB mastermind has plum forgotten his whole life. At least, that seems to be his go-to response in recently released deposition videos, recorded during…

Tampa rapper Money-Clipz has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for possession of over 28 grams of crack cocaine with an intent to distribute. Jeez Louise! First, they tell you that sharing is caring and then they throw you in jail for caring too much. Mixed messages, you…
He’s dressed in head-to-toe black, covered in studs with two bullet belts, a foot-long blue fan mohawk, and green paint smeared across his face like some kind of ceremonial warpaint. Then this punk leans into the microphone. And mustering an exaggerated sneer as spittle flies with each syllable, he dramatically…
Hashish will make a lady do some crazy shit. Like give her new album a 23-word title. Say, The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Or maybe even make a run for the Mexican…
