Quick Hit: Keyshia Cole’s Mother Frankie Teaches the World How To “Frankie Leg” (Hilariously Tragic Video)

A 50-year-old woman in a mid-drift top and blonde wig, who just happens to be the mother of Keyshia Cole, rapping and dancing along to a God-awful song? Nope, I don't think it gets any more hilarious than this folks. Only thing missing is a verse from Jim Jones' mother, Mama Jones. See more...

B.o.B. Goes Big w/ Katy Perry, T.I.: “One That Got Away (Remix)” & “Never Lost” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 12/19/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, T.I., B.o.B., Katy Perry

Is it just me or does Katy Perry seem to get all the really dope rappers for her songs? First it was Snoop and Kanye West and now the pop singer has recruited none other than B.o.B for her remix to "The One That Got Away." I wouldn't really call the song that much of a remix though since the only difference from the original is that it includes two verses from B.o.B. Listen and download...

Quick Hit: Jay-Z Really Needs You to Turn His Headphones Down, Thanks

You never hear a rapper say, "Yo, turn the snare down in my headphones. Jesus fucking christ, who needs that much snare? All I can fucking hear is snare!" So when D-Mac emailed me with, "Yo, I found a track where Jay-Z tells the engineer to turn his headphones down!" it's hard to overestimate how stoked I was. See more...

I Just Don’t Understand Why Reebok Would Create A Sneaker This Ugly (Pics)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 12/16/11 | Filed under Sneakers, Fashion, Reebok

There really aren't a lot of good things to say about Reebok's new Reebok Pump Fury London. But if anything it shouldn't be too hard to look at the bright side of things with these sneakers and I do mean that literally. Seriously, it looks like the inspiration for the Reebok Pump Fury London may have been a box of Crayola crayons. See more...

Quick Hit: Jay-Z Compares Working With His Artists To Raising Kids…Kinda Weird (Video)

"It's almost like having kids like I think running a label is a bit like having kids." I think Jay-Z has got to be the first ever label owner to compare working with his signee's to that of raising children. I get it Jay-Z and it actually does make sense, but it's still a little weird nonetheless. See more...
