Pusha T only has one neck. But in the clip for his new freestyle video, the G.O.O.D. Music rhymer’s rocking several chains while he spits over the beat that started hip-hop’s most sizzling beef now: Common’s “Sweet.” “Let’s be honest/ The card’s on the table/ Jealousy’s a sin/ Cain killed Abel,” he raps. Check out […]
Mary J. Blige released another rendition of her “Mr. Wrong” video, this time featuring Drizzy Drake who appeared on the album cut but not in the original visuals.

What are Nelly and Dr. Dre cooking up in the studio? The “Hot In Here” rapper, recently releasing a mixtape on Christmas Eve entitled “O.E.MO” and is now in the studio with the “doctor.” We hope the magic Dre brings to any artist is sprinkled on Nelly who hasn’t had a hit record in several […]

Amber Rose’s attempts to build a buzz for her new single, “Fame,” have been futile. In spite of nobody really caring about Rose singing, she and Wiz Khalifa released their joint track this morning.

“Make no mistake. I’m talking to Drake,” Chicago rhymer Common ad-libbed at the end of a venomous 16 bars directed at Toronto spitter Drake. Thank you! After several back and forth jabs thrown almost blindly at one another, here, my friends, is some clarity. It all started when Common released “Sweet,” a single from his […]
