  • How Come Nobody Talks About En Vogue Anymore?

  • Did Warren G. Get Robbed By His Homies On "Regulate"?

    I was perusing the rap blogs and came across a new song by Warren G. featuring Nate Dogg called “My House”, which is presumably on his new album Regulate…The G-Funk Era 2. As you’d expect, the song is trash, but you weren’t ever going to listen to it anyway as you’ve probably not listened to anything…

  • Jagged Edge Is Better Than 112. Here's Why.

    Nobody asked me but I’m telling you right now: Jagged Edge is and was a better singing group than 112. Most people will disagree with this. Most people will be wrong. I know this to be fact because I’ve seen Twitter arguments on this topic and I myself started a FB debate where I’m pretty…

  • An R&B Playlist For Colored Girls Who Listened To The Toni Braxton Secrets Album Too Soon And Have Yet To Recover

    I’ve been voluntarily flailing from irrational emotion to irrational emotion for over a week now because Jazmine Sullivan has released a new album. Jazmine’s songwriting on Reality Show is so specific and raw, “Brand New” really had me ready to ugly cry like I paid for bae’s studio time and he just up and left…
