In the latest of an ongoing series that will include the best...or worst...fails of the week from the world of hip-hop, sports, pop culture and beyond. In this week's very special edition, I examine Kanye's future wifey, Hova's new career as a battery spokesperson and more....
Anytime you find a rapper reaching into classic rock territory alarm bells go off. Unless said rapper actually knows his rock shit, there's about a 2% chance that it won't come off as some corny "look at me, I'm using a classic rock sample!" doo doo. Thankfully J The S really knows his rock shit. See more...
I'm convinced that French Montana makes music that only people in New York City and the surrounding areas seem to care about. In fact, I'm about 85 percent sure that French Montana said that exact same thing or something similar in an interview late last year. But I have to admit I'm kinda feeling his latest track "Ghetto Boy" with Uncle Murda and Maybach Music rapper Torch. Listen and download...

I'm not going to full on bitch about the the difference between a remix and a freestyle (again) and the decline of the actual remix and actual freestyle in the digital era, so instead let me just take a moment to applaud B.o.B. for doing things the right way on his "Strange Clouds (Remix)".

The album art alone for Chip Tha Ripper's "Tell Ya Friends" project is enough to warrant an immediate download, but with tracks like "Out Here" it's sure to be a project to watch out for.
