25,000 isn’t an awful number. There are some artists who’d sacrifice a litter of orphaned kittens to do those types of numbers today.

What Solange Would Have Said About The Fight If She Were One Of Your Cousins
Of course, anyone with any knowledge of how the Knowles/Carter cult handles things knew Solange’s public non-response would likely be her official public response to the chicken fight seen ’round the internet.

Relax, Everyone. White Rappers Aren't Taking Over
I returned home this weekend after spending the previous week on a cruise ship. Which means the last 48 or so hours have been spent reacclimating to real life and attempting to rid myself of the remnants of cruise culture. I have to keep reminding myself that I won’t be eating 17 full meals a…
