Kendrick Lamar Pimps the Hell Out of a Butterfly [ALBUM REVIEW]
Kendrick Lamar’s new LP, To Pimp a Butterfly, isn’t the usual rap album. Yes, there is gratuitous use of the “n-word.” And the heavy use of expletives more than earned the album’s parental advisory label. But there is an artistry there that you just can’t find on a Drake, Big Sean, or even Kanye record. With his debut, Lamar was crowned hip-hop’s ...

The honesty. The ...
Kevin Ross: The Vocal Beast You Haven’t Heard Of (Yet)
Have you seen those new Glade Holiday Scent commercials? Yeah, those Glade candles smell great, but the commercials are showstopping because of the crooner that takes center stage in them. If you haven’t heard of him yet, his name is Kevin Ross, and he is a vocal beast. The music industry can be all about smoke and mirrors, a final presentation meant to mask all ...
Danity Kane’s ‘DK3′ Mirrors the Group’s Discord
Danity Kane had it all but lost it due to infighting, distrust, and mismanagement. That was 2008. When they reformed (without D. Woods), many thought that the girls had grown up and would be able to transcend the petty stuff. Then there was the “incident” where Dawn allegedly hit Aubrey in the back of the head when she walked in on her and Shannon having a secret ...
These 6 Entertainers Should Step Away From the Mic and Into the Light
There’s something about fame. Once you get it, you want to hold onto it forever. And when you lose it, you’ll damn near sell your soul to get it back. All of these artists have enjoyed success. They’ve had fame, fortune, and even legendary status. Now it is time for us, as fans, to caution them against the temptation of the reverse mortgage. They’ve got all ...
