Fuckboy Chris Brown Made a Pretty Decent Album
Chris Brown is a fuccboi, a dickhead, a walking temper tantrum. He's a remorseless prick with a violence problem. That all describes countless celebrites, but the reason it's harder to overlook with Breezy is because he's either too dumb or not enough of a man to realize he's the heel...
Lucki Eck$ Takes It to the Cloud for “Hidden Place” Video
Lucki Eck$, who calls himself the "most innovative dude in Chicago on the rap scene", dropped the new video for "Hidden Place" off his Body High mixtape. The video finds the young rapper in front of a green screen with a trippy collage comprising things like lasers and found footage, sometimes with multiple versions of Ecks crowding the screen...
Nicki Minaj Shades Old White Dudes for Not Showing Her Ass Enough
Nicki Minaj took to Twitter and Instagram to shade the powers that be over at CBS for their scaredy-cat edits during her Fashion Rocks performance of "Anaconda."

Robert Plant Wants to Collaborate With Robert Plant Impersonator
Jack White has previously said he doesn't trust anyone who doesn't like Led Zeppelin, and his inspiration from, and admiration of, that monumental band is apparent in nearly all of his projects, from the searing riffage to the high-pitched wails, right on down to the occasional blatant reappropriation of delta blues...
James Franco’s ‘Room’ Movie Lands ‘Fault in Our Stars’ Screenwriters
James Franco's passion project based on The Disaster Artist, a book based on the making of the vexingly bad cult classic film The Room, is beginning to take shape. We already know that Franco is directing the film and starring as the real-life character Tommy Wiseau, who starred in, wrote, and directed The Room, making him the "mastermind" behind that flop — a label that, against all odd
What Should Bobby Shmurda’s New Dance Be Called?
Bobby Shmurda has a trapped-out new song on the way, and with its hook, "Oh you don't know, they call me Bobby, bitch" (that comma is v crucial), it sounds like it'll serve as his introduction to the, like, four people out there who still don't know who he is...
Vince Staples Calls Out the Police on “Hands Up”
Vince Staples is on a tear, following up the dystopic g-funk of "Blue Suede" with the gloomy and intense new song "Hands Up," which takes on police brutality in the wake of the events in Ferguson, Missouri. The California MC lays out his frustrations in stark terms, declaring, "I refuse the right to be silent," and calling out a broken system...
Kanye West 1.0 Returns on Theophilus London’s “Can’t Stop My Love”
UPDATE: The Vibes! tracklist has been revealed, and this song is actually called "Can't Stop My Love."
Kanye West guest verses are increasingly rare these days, and they certainly fail to give any sort of insight into his current state of mind (case in point: his "Diamonds" remix came smack in the middle of his Yeezus era)...
