The Dirtiest Player in Women’s Soccer [Video]
6 Nov 2009 | 8:10 amWomen’s soccer bores me to tears. Throw in some punching and hair-pulling and it’s suddenly worth watching.

At one point she vicioulsly yanks BYU’s Kassidy [...] -

Rihanna vs. Chris Brown ~ Battle of the TV Interviews (FULL VIDEOS)
7 Nov 2009 | 2:16 amRihanna and Chris Brown each hit national television last night in what I called a “Battle” of sorts. Rihanna’s 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer finally aired in it’s entirety and if you’ve seen the previous GMA clips, you’ve basically seen it all. Rihanna does, however, touch on why she felt the need to return to Chris’ side so soon after the beat down and why she eventually decided it was best to let the relationship go. I honestly felt that she was being sincere, although the timing of the interview has been questioned, specifically in light of… -

You may recognize photo service names like WireImage or Getty, but there’s one name in particular that is making waves all across the country on the hip-hop scene…. Johnny Nunez! I’ve run into him quite a few times, but never really had a real conversation until recently. It’s funny how life has a way of connecting you with people. He’s a totally cool dude and is the man behind many of your favorite hip-hop celebrity photographs, sometimes capturing… -

As detailed in the police report, Rihanna admits to reading the text messages on Chris Brown’s phone from another girl. An argument ensued and… well… you know the rest. “It escalated to him being violent towards me and… it was ugly.” She later described the look in Brown’s eyes as he beat her, “All I… -

Hollywood Undead
6 Nov 2009 | 12:47 pmBy throwing together a kitchen-sink mix of hip-hop, metal and pop punk, Hollywood Undead update the sound of '90s rapcore acts like Insane Clown Posse and Korn. It's hardly groundbreaking, but it works -- they've won wide adoration from MySpace crowds, who have helped them break out of the social networking site and into mainstream pop culture on the strength of their singles. Hollywood Undead became the first act to sign on with MySpace Records in 2005, wearing hockey masks that introduced the band's puzzling public image -- another imitative nod to Insane Clown Posse. After a number of… -
Timbaland
6 Nov 2009 | 12:47 pmIt's impossible to calculate Timbaland's impact on urban music. Beginning in the mid-'90s, the Virginia producer not only revolutionized how hip-hop and R&B sounded, he also changed how pop audiences view the role of the producer. His work for Missy Elliott and Aaliyah elevated those figures into the spotlight, and introduced a singular production aesthetic that incorporated tabla rhythms and electro flourishes. The sound was witty and eclectic, and the five albums he created with Missy Elliott -- from 1997's Supa Dupa Fly to 2003's This is Not a Test -- are among Southern hip-hop's most… -
Missy Elliott
6 Nov 2009 | 12:47 pmA popular and prolific emcee/producer/songwriter, Missy Elliott has been riding the charts ever since the release of her hugely successful 1997 debut LP Supa Dupa Fly. After refining her skills writing hit songs for artists like Aaliyah, her first album blew up thanks to distinct, ultra-catchy production coupled with Missy's strong and sassy vocals. She's been on a roll ever since, with more albums, tons of collaborations, and many hit singles ("The Rain," "Get Ur Freak On," "One Minute Man," etc.) to her credit. In 2005, she released her fifth album The Cookbook, scoring yet another hit with… -
Busta Rhymes
6 Nov 2009 | 12:47 pmBrooklyn emcee Busta Rhymes got his start with underground heroes Leaders of the New School, flipping his unusual flows on two albums with the group in the early '90s. He was also featured on a number of other records, including A Tribe Called Quest's hype posse cut "Scenario." Busta's first solo album The Coming (1996) featured his breakthrough single "Whoo Hah!! Got You all in Check." The song enjoyed massive airplay and made him a household name. Blessed with one of the most innovative and recognizable rhyme styles in the industry, the Flipmode Squad boss Busta released several more albums… -
Kid Rock
6 Nov 2009 | 12:47 pmAfter spending a decade toiling in obscurity and releasing a handful of albums that went nowhere, Kid Rock — Detroit's self-proclaimed "American Bad Ass" — spiked the title track of his forth album, 1998's Devil without a Cause, with a bold declaration: "I'm going platinum!" With the white trash rap/rock anthem "Bawitdaba" and a star-making performance at Woodstock '99, he delivered on his promise. But within a decade, Rock had made the total transformation into a classic rock singer when his 2007 album Rock N Roll Jesus debuted at Number One. He was born Robert James Ritchie on…

Posted by Sarah Godfrey on Oct. 28, 2009, at 12:50 pm Thanks to the hard work of both hip-hop pioneers and young upstarts throughout D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, the DMV is now officially on the map. It’s also in the dictionary. The Urban Dictionary—but still. Most regions with thriving hip-hop scenes have catchy nicknames, but before the whole DMV acronym caught on in the mid-aughts, the greater nation’s capital lacked one.

Plies Pays Preteen $1,000 to Leave Concert
6 Nov 2009 | 4:29 pmMaybe Plies isn't bad for the kids after all. At least not the ones that sneak into his concerts. Plies was in the middle of a show when he spotted a preteen girl in the crowd. "I just realized there's a little girl in here that looks like she's 12 years-old," Plies said. He motioned to his hype men to bring the kid onstage. He then did what any responsible adult would do: He apologized and sent her home. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Before dismissing the girl Plies gave her a parting present of $1,000. Yes, he had exactly $1,000 lying around in his pocket. Hey, I'm just saying. -
Whole Lotta Beef: Beans Declares War on Jay-Z, Signs to G-Unit
6 Nov 2009 | 10:03 amBy now you've probably heard of the rift between Jay-Z and former Roc-A-Fella associate Beanie Sigel. Sigel released a track titled "Average Cat" last week to address the issue. "Average Cat" is not so much a diss as it is Beanie's melodramatic take on the discord. Jay has only responded briefly during a press conference in Montreal. "Beanie Sigel, at the time, was driving two Bentleys," Jay said in his response. "Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line, and never went platinum...ever. I don't know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. I… -

Jay-Z Takes Battle Rappers to Task
4 Nov 2009 | 9:45 amIf you're going to call on Jay-Z to judge your freestyle contest, it might be a good idea to pick people that won't pee all over their pants upon seeing him. The contestants in this MuchMusic freestyle battle (I used that term loosely) were laughable. Jay complimented the chick on her "all black everything" outfit. She then proceeded to make a fool of herself. The guy obviously came loaded with a stash of pre-written rhymes. Jay called him out on it and requested a 2nd round. He was probably thinking, "been there, done that." It wasn't even close. At least, the guy had decent flow. Watch for… -

Brother Ali's Latest CD "Us"
5 Oct 2009 | 6:07 am"Us" by Brother Ali (2009)Brother Ali is a long timer ... he's been dropping rhymes for sometime. He's a part of the Rhymesayers camp too (that doesn't just mean hip hop, but quality hip hop)."Us" is Brother Ali's most recent project. This cd is killer. "Fresh Air" is supposed to be the first release from the disk. It's got some tempo to it and he's got some bounce in his flow. During the hook on the track, it reminds me of some old school funk like Slave or Lakeside. As a matter of fact, I might want to check the liner notes to see if he's sampling something from back in the day."Fresh Air"… -
