Ciara finally is coming back with new music, after years of leaving us stranded.

A song called “Top Off,” featuring Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Future and DJ Khaled, dropped at 6 a.m. Along with encouraging Maybach owners to take the tops off of their cars, I think the only reason this song even exists is that Future probably felt really, really, really sad about that Jay-Z line from “Kill Jay-Z” (“In the…

Last fall, Variety reported that Sony was working on a remake of the 1972 blaxploitation flick Super Fly.

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I did sip Crystal Pepsi a few times back in the 1990s, and I always look for ways to honor the legacy of Miss Cleo, so I have some predictions for the new year to share. Take them with a grain of salt—preferably Lawry’s Seasoned Salt or some Slap Ya Mama seasoning.

Before we get going, let me be very clear: I’m a fan of every artist I’m including on this list. With that being said, c’mon, son. Also, I don’t believe that you have to be a “church-strong” singer to be considered a good singer. Being able to use your voice is just as important as having a strong voice; not everybody…

We’re not quite sure what’s going on in this commercial. But Cher and Future (aka Black Meryl Streep face) are both rocking overpriced Gap denim, sitting on bleach-white stairs and singing “Everyday People.”

I love when a hot-ass song by sexy-voiced Future is also a cry to rip the sheets off racists.

If I tried to review the entire BET Awards, which went on for a smooth four hours, I would be writing until Blue Ivy released her second greatest-hits collection. So in the interest of time, I’ll only cover where my prerogative leads me. Feel free to cue up select tracks from the catalog of the legendary Kang of R&B,…

These folks are poppin’ em out.

Roses are red, violets are blue and Future is a terrible fucking person. This should not be a novel idea to anyone who has ever read a Future interview, scrolled through Future’s social media accounts or listened to most of his catalog.

Years ago, I dated someone who was a big fan of HBO's Girls. Such a big fan, in fact, that it wasn't uncommon for her to spend a Saturday or Sunday binge-watching episodes she'd already seen. I happened to be at her place during one of these binges, and I sat and watched a few episodes with her. I'd already heard and…

The realization occurred during Rihanna's extended dancehall set.

Y’all really got to stop it with the Russell Wilson and Ciara news. And by y’all, I mean anybody who gives enough of a shit about this on-going saga when there are more important things going on to report it and make it part of everyday conversations. In no world should Ciara and Russell Wilson be a part of everyday…

Who is Ciara?

Notwithstanding the fact that two very smart brothas (Damon Young and Patrice O’Neal) have instructed me to never trust a Black man without facial hair — we (Black people) collectively stopped messing with Taye for a very different reason. Taye made headlines and our shit list when he said he doesn’t want his biracial…

I'm a hip-hop head and could sometimes be considered a backpacker on a few Tuesdays a month, but I'm far from being a purist. I don't hate all of this new "rap" the way that people who swear by Black Moon on Facebook do. I listen to Rich Homie Quan and laugh at Young Thug with the best of them. If a song is catchy,…

In what can only be described as the PUREST form of white privilege available to date, a woman in Los Angeles stole a Ford Focus, led cops on a police chase, and when she rolled over a spike and blew out a tire, bringing an end to said chase…

Monday afternoon, I wrote a piece poking fun at the hoteps who believe Russell Wilson is a “sucker” for dating Ciara and that a woman like Ciara is somehow undateable because she’s a single mother.

1. He's dating someone new, and is actually bringing her name up in interviews and taking her to events with him, like he's actually happy to be with her and proud of her or something. Who the hell does that? Besides a sucker-ass simp-ass simp-ass sucker?
