The craziest part of the Grammy’s are not the performances or the people who actually win, that is crazy enough.

That is saying a lot when Pink is out there bringing the buck naked, and Lady Gaga is going Lady Gaga.

When a chick who brings her own lens flare for the picture and she isn’t the [...]

When I saw this video, I had to assume that it was going to be the worst rap ever.  I mean check out that preview.  White dude, Iowa Hawkeyes themed rap.  Standing on an overpass and at some unidentified warehouse making it rain.  Can’t get worse.  Check it out.

But it isn’t actually that bad.  I [...]

Asking this question feels a little bit like asking “who is the tallest midget?”, but I’m down to ask the question anyway.  My Nicki Minaj post set of a little mini controversy in the comments section yesterday, and I honestly can’t think of anywhere else I’ve seen anyone ask this question, so I’ll ask it.
Who [...]

I know some of UvT Nation, ie. cats from the Midwest (really Will, Bone?) and “The Bay” (Shouts to Too Short) don’t really like Wayne.  But trust, the silent majority of UvT loves Lil Weezy.

And as I said yesterday, his impending incarceration will only inure to the benefit of his fans in the form of [...]

Good looking our Bill Parcels because you just unearthed the most bullsh*t rapper since Tone Loc.  This cat J Loft is a f*cking clown.  But what’s great about it is that he’s got all the appearances of a legit flow.  He’s got the women rocking bikinis outside a random apartment building.  He’s got the pool [...]

Yo, I’m a Diddy backer.  I really am.  Dude knows how to sell, especially himself.  But this Last Train to Paris/Dirty Money thing has me confused.  So Diddy has a new album coming called “Last Train to Paris“.  It was supposed to come out this month, but now it comes out next year.  It is [...]

Somebody turn off Marbuy’s youtube, ustream, myspace and fb accounts!  Man, I hate to watch a cat just go crazy right in front of my eyes, but Stephon Marbury is JUST NOW catching up to Jay Z for that “don’t confuse me with Marbury out this b*tch, run up on me at the light, you [...]

I was doing my thing in the gym on Sunday and I heard this Kanye verse on my ipod.  I mean, I have so much crap on there that when I put it on random and don’t immediately hit fast forward, I end up hearing a bunch of stuff.  Anyway, I’m not sure why, but [...]

I’m a music aficionado.  I love it.  You might not like what I like, but I know what I like.  There is room for everything.  I’m from the ATL, the home of the Bankhead bounce and snap music, so I will listen to a song for just a hot beat.  I ain’t gonna lie, I [...]

There’s no doubt that Soulja Boy Tell Em, which is the worst name ever by the way, is a scourge on the music industry, but this song is pretty hype.  Makes you kind of wonder, did this kid just sell his soul to the devil to make hits?  I put it in my Ipod last [...]

This Drake cat is from Canada, which for most would be strike one.  Then he’s been described as the next Will Smith….hmm, strike two.  Plus he’s kind of on some rapper, actor, Kanye interpretational sh*t…..for most, that’s a strike three.  But if Kanye is what Wyclef was supposed to be, then this cat is pretty [...]

I think Jamie Foxx is pretty funny, but I wasn’t too down for his R&B career.  I don’t know, maybe it was a Eddie Murphy “Party All The Time” hangover I wasn’t aware of.  But quietly, Jamie is putting together some decent hits.  And this song is no exception.  In fact, it’s the best banger [...]

Okay, I think Weezay F. Baby has officially lost his mind.  He’s been heading toward rock for a long time, but he finally cut his first rock joint.
Boy is it shitty.

I’m not that rock dude, but I know bad music when I hear it.  This isn’t Kanye “I’ll warm up to it” weird bad, this [...]

Look.  You are either going to love it or hate it.  I’ll be honest, but you need to let it grow on you.  You know how bad Karaoke is good?  This is like that, but better.  If you ever feel like it isn’t right, just go back to the picture above with the Jheri Curl [...]

Ok, so I got my hands on that full on real deal Kanye yesterday and put that joker in the lab for analysis.

It’s called 808s and Heartbreaks.  Dead up?  It was not good.  And by not good, I mean in concept or execution.  First of all, the whole idea of the album still pisses me [...]

I’ve said it once, and said it again and again, I’m a big fan of Kanye West.  I appreciate his contributions to “the culture,” his beats are fresh to death and his flow is surprisingly dope.  But homey has really gone off the deep end with these rapless songs he’s been pawning off as “next [...]

Cats know that I’ve long since come out against this song.  But even I will admit that like the fickle music lover I am, I like it a lot more than I did when I first heard the off key version at those god awful VMAs.

Still, that doesn’t change this fundamentally flawed concept Kanye is [...]

Diddy makes hit records.  He drove Danity Kane to #1, he drove Day 26 to #1 and this season it was Donnie’s turn.

The people’s champ has been in the studio working hard, he laid down the tracks, he worked on his dance moves, and he was ready for his big debut.  Surely the ladies of [...]

You know we love Mike Tyson, and you know we love Lil Wayne.  Here’s the best of both worlds.

Shout to Grande Smooth in ATL for putting us down with it.  (like two weeks ago, I’m early and still late)
Oh, and I was about to hit you cats with the official UvT “Hot shit but not [...]

OK, not really.  But what I will do is overanalyze this picture as an indication of their careers individually and as a group.

Ralph Tresvant: Ralph is still holding on to that old thang.  He released his own solo album, he’s still a man with sensitivity, and so he still knows that he needs to break [...]

If you’re at all interested in hip hop or rap, then you’re well aware of the fact that Young Weezy Baby aka Weezy F. Baby aka Lil Weezy aka Lil Wayne has this Carter III album coming out on June 10.

“But Lake, if the Carter III comes out on June 10th and it’s June 3rd, [...]

One thing I’ve been kicking my web developer in the arse for is this multimedia extravaganza that I want to bring to our readers. Well the shit aint happened yet, so while I ready my Adidas Campos for dat azz, let me give you the next best thing.

Ok, maybe the next next best thing, [...]

I know I’m a little late to this party, but I’ve got to put cats up on this man Wale.

He’s out of DC.  His style is hot, his metaphors are tight, he knows his history, he hits you with comedy, he seems to have to total package.  Raafman from the comments put me up on [...]

I’ll be straight out with you. When I saw him launch his first single with T-Pain, I knew two things. First, I didn’t trust him. Second, no matter what I think, the song is going to be ridiculously popular.

“Low” is one of those songs that get’s stuck in your head all day. “Shawty had those [...]

This is hot:

Travis Barker has been covering hip hop songs with new drum tracks on you tube.  The song still gets me hype, and as always Mr. Famous Stars and Straps goes hard.
