How Drake Can Win the Rap Battle With Pusha T (or at Least Not Lose It)
On Facebook Wednesday, I got into a discussion about whether or not I thought Drake could come back (and maybe even win) from Pusha T’s blistering “The Story of Adidon” diss record, which took disrespect and hip-hop investigative journalism to new levels.

Um, Jagged Edge, What the Hell Was That? DC Is Not Pleased

Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Is Back. Keyshia Cole Seems Happier, Hazel-E Acts Thirsty and Teairra Mari Looks Tipsy
What I love most about Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood is what I hated most about living in Los Angeles: the people. I’m not talking about L.A. natives, who are, more often than not, fine-fine-fine-fine-fine-fine, whew.

I Listened to Chris Brown and Ray J’s Mixtape so You Don’t Have To
When I read that Chris Brown and Ray J had released a new mixtape, Burn My Name, my immediate response was, “Have we not suffered enough already in Trump’s America?” That’s not to say Light Ike isn’t talented, Team Breezy. That has long been established. It’s more like, “You’re Chris Brown and you’re doing a…
