See the full 68-photo Bruise Cruise 2012 slideshow. After only 243 minutes aboard the Carnival Imagination, it had already been a busy day, chockablock with bruisin’, cruisin’, and boozin’, famous guy sightings, and doing megahits off the pina colada bong while almost tumbling overboard. And the boat hadn’t even left…
See the full 68-photo Bruise Cruise 2012 slideshow. We here at Crossfade are total fucking pros. So while we openly admit to being dangerously dependent upon both (1) the internet and (2) alcohol, it is exceedingly rare that either addiction discernibly screws with our ability to produce high-quality online journalism…

Valentine’s Day is generally accepted as a stupid holiday for saps, Hallmark, and women with no spines.

Still, being single on National PDA Day…

Valentine’s Day is next week. You’ll likely be suckered into dropping mad loot on something extravagant like a $1,400 couples massage or $400 surf ‘n’ turf dinner inside a private pool cabana at the Four Seasons. Naturally, staying put this weekend and saving your money would be the adult thing…
There was a time, circa 1991, when hip-hop wasn’t all about bling and bitches. Back in the day, the beat dropped and so did some Gil-Scott Heron-inspired wordplay, a call for justice in the inner city, and a shout-out to Malcolm X. Founded by rapper Speech (born Todd Thomas), Atlanta…
Quick, grab our tongue. This “Niggas in Paris” video is so “cray” that we’re ignoring the Epilepsy Action warning and risking a seizure just to get through it. The Jay-Z and Kanye West’s globetrotting banger was featured on the duo’s collaborative Watch the Throne record. Together, Ye and Jay performed…
Did you know that Young Money Cash Money Billionaire boss Lil Wayne isn’t actually a billionaire? Well, homie … It’s true.

What started out as a fairly modest afterhours party at the former Studio A space in Downtown Miami in 2006 has since evolved into the WMC event par excellence. Of course, we’re talking about Crosstown Rebels’ Get Lost. And now in its seventh installment, this party has pretty much come…
