Why I Want T-Pain To Sing At My Wedding
Not to brag about my life, but Wednesday night, I was in the same room eating chicken with T-Pain. I was invited to a listening session for his new Gangsta Grillz mixtape, The Iron Way, which will be released on Friday. This almost made up for the fact that I never got a chance to…

Love & Hip Hop NY Ep. 511 Recap: Why Is Charlie Murphy Here?
This week’s episode, if nothing else, taught me what kind of relationships Keyshia Cole wails about on her songs. Can anyone reason with me as to why it would be a good idea for Mynameismyname* to pretend that his child with Yandy is in the hospital? He mumbled something about his hustle being just as…
