We literally can’t remember a time in the last few months when Pitbull hasn’t had a song on the charts. So if you’re a Pitbull fan, you’ll be glad to hear that probably won’t be changing any time soon. His newest single, “Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor,” has already made a dent in [...]

Here’s a new video from T.I. and Chris Brown for their song, “Get Back Up.” The song’s about fighting through adversity. You know, that whole “when they push you down, you’ve got to get back up” idea. But let’s address the elephant in the room. Two elephants, actually. One, T.I’s gone back to prison for [...]

If you’re not familiar with the up-and-coming hip-hop/R&B group Diddy-Dirty Money, here’s their recipe for success: take one part Diddy (or Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy, or whatever in the world you want to call him), add two parts Danity Kane, namely Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper, and voila! You’ve got yourself some Diddy-Dirty Money. [...]

When Nelly more or less fell off the pop-music radar back in the mid 2000s, most people probably thought he was gone for good. Flash forward to now, and Nelly’s proving those people wrong. Within the last couple months, Nelly made a serious return to the charts recently with his hit “Just A Dream,” the [...]

Great news! For the second straight day, we’ve got a new Nicki Minaj video to check out!!! The Barbie is back again with a video for her track “Right Through Me.” Nicki takes down the usual style of her videos to a real life level (she even ditches her trademark wigs in exchange for her [...]

Will.i.am & Nicki Minaj just released a video for their recent hit “Check It Out.” In the video you’ll find some seriously snug body suits, some interesting CGI, and a language that I think is Korean. That all probably sounds a little weird. All the more reason to watch it though, I think. ;) If [...]

If you’ve got 35 minutes to spare, you’re in the right place. Over the weekend, Kanye West debuted his “Runaway” film, that he’s been touting online for a while now. Guess what? We’ve got the full length version below. I won’t spoil the storyline for you, but I will tell you that the film stars [...]

It’s a long road back from the bottom for Chris Brown. Hoping to restart his career, he recently released a single “Yeah 3x” for pop-radio airplay. The song, from his upcoming album F.A.M.E., now has a video to accompany it. Judging from the work we’ve seen from the kid in the past, there’s one thing [...]

Think about when you were 9 years old. How’d you spend your time? Maybe you were on the jungle gym. Maybe you were busy picking your nose. Whatever it was, I’ll let you figure it out. But one thing I know is that your answer most definitely isn’t “becoming a full blown pop-star.” Yet it [...]

You’ve gotta see this! Earlier today, the Bieber posted a TwitVid of his newfound rap skills. Check out Shawty Mane (Justin’s rap alias) spitting his freestyle called “Speaking In Tongues” below. THUG LIFE, eh Biebs? LOL. In all honestly though, these freestyle rhymes aren’t so bad. And let’s be honest, if the kid makes a [...]

Kid Cudi’s latest single “Erase Me,” from his upcoming album Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, now has a music video. And if you’re looking for a bit of 70′s hair rock nostalgia, then look no further. The “Erase Me” video seems like a tribute to the rock ages of the [...]

Eminem has released a video for the third single off of his Recovery album. The clip is for the track “No Love” and it features Lil’ Wayne. The brand new music video deals with bullying and the success of the little guy, something that probably both Em and Weezy can attest to. Check it out [...]

If you’re looking for a quick few minute audio trip through rap history, don’t miss this performance from Late Night host Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake. A couple of nights back, Justin made an appearance on the show to promote his new movie The Social Network. If you didn’t know, legendary Hip-Hop group The Roots [...]

He may still be in prison, but that isn’t stopping Lil’ Wayne from releasing a brand new album today–his birthday–titled I Am Not A Human Being. The album, which is a digital-only release, includes 10 new tracks from the prolific rapper, and is setting the net abuzz. Listen to the track “Right Above It” featuring [...]

Following the recent release of his tracks “Right Above It” and “I Am Not A Human,” Lil’ Wayne has released another track off of his upcoming I Am Not A Human album, scheduled to come out September 27th digitally and October 12th in physical format. The track is called Gonorrhea and it features his Young [...]

Last night, Kanye dropped a fresh remix of his recent single “Power” on his blog and Twitter account–which has quickly become my favorite thing on Twitter by far. Make no mistake, this remix is REALLY remixed. Not only does he let Jay and Swizz do their thing on top of a hacked up version of [...]

Rapper of the moment, Drake, revealed his latest music video to the world today. The video for “Miss Me,” the third single off of Drake’s Thank Me Later record, is directed by Anthony Mandler, who has to date directed ALL of his music videos to date. I’m sure I’m not the only one suggesting that [...]

Kanye West premiered a new song off of his upcoming album entitled “See Me Now.” The track features both Beyonce and Charlie Wilson, and is growing on me more and more with every listen. The raps are vintage Kanye, too. My personal fave: “I admit, my first watch was a Fossil. Now I’m in the [...]

As you may or may not be aware, Megan Fox is a big movie star. Naturally then, having her star in your music video sounds like a great idea, right? Wait, uh oh, where did that go wrong? I’m gonna come out and say it right off the bat: I hate this music video. I’m [...]

Last night, the video for Kanye’s newest single, “Power,” debuted on MTV. In typical Kanye fashion, it’s a very artistic piece, with an obvious ode to Michaelangelo’s  Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings. At only 1 minute and 42 seconds long, it runs only a portion of the song. But as Kanye himself  exclaimed via Twitter, “It’s [...]
