Your favorite rapper’s favorite punchline adds his newest single to the countless Google-clogging search archives of songs name “Sweat.” The end result is so artificially enhanced, one would wonder if even the perspiration was created with the F11 button on some greasy-faced computer geek’s MacBook.

We all know the saying, “Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t…” which has become the modus operandi on how the music industry deems it should cater to when measuring an album’s worth. Nevermind the caliber of the songs that are included on those albums. That would be insane, wouldn’t it? Read the rest of this entry »

On Monday, Lupe Fiasco announced that he and Pharrell will be releasing an album together soon. Fantastic news for fans…but all it did was remind us of that now-forgotten Child Rebel Soldiers album that never manifested. Read the rest of this entry »

Apparently, Tyga has a knack for knocking out hits to the simplest of melodies. After riding the four-note bassline of “Rack City” into a nice year-capper and future of strip club dividends, Young Money’s next-up releases another easy-cheesy single in “Faded.” Read the rest of this entry »

Amidst the controversy that is Drake having Serena bent over a tennis net (ALLEGEDLY!) causing Common to go all lyrical G.I. Joe – because I’m 89% sure that’s what this all boils down to – Drake, his leopard Northface* and Nike gloves kept it pushing by releasing the visual for “The Motto.” Read the rest of this entry »
