Normally, VH1 outpaces all other music channels when it comes to, you know, actually covering music. The films, documentaries and other forms of reporting do justice to the subject and fans. Except that one time, when they made that God awful Michael Jackson movie starring Flex Alexander as Michael. Oh, and let's not forget the MC Hammer movie or the ratchet reality shows. Okay, aside Aside from all that, they're still pretty good, I think. Yesterday, VH1 released the first official image of Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story 's [...]

I had one helluvah time in the Northeast last week. Heard some great music, saw some beautiful street art, and bought my first bowtie. Hit some sketchy Allston house parties, caught an Earmilk -sponsored show in New York, and witnessed the first steps of converting an abandoned warehouse into a day rager monster mansion. No maps, no GPS. Just me and my list of contacts (that’s probably why I got lost so many times). This week’s selection is paired with some photos I took at the Green Villain in Jersey City ( @greeeeenvillain ). What [...]

Kicking off the 25th edition of The Trap Dojo, we have a huge remix of Rihanna' s "Jump" from Club Cheval, the same group that was behind the Nero - "Won't You Be There" remix . This version keeps Rihanna's chorus, a cover of "Pony" by Ginuwine but fills in the blanks with some hot verses from Theophilus London and some hot trap beats. Next up is D!RTY AUD!O 's track from the recent Trap-a-Holics Certified Trap 2 Mixtape filled with frantic synth work and aggressive verses. After remixing "Milkshake" by Kelis, GoldTop shows [...]

Toni Basil was a 38-year-old singer/actress in Los Angeles in the early '80s when a local music scout counseled her to take one more shot at recording a hit for young pop music fans. Basil and her songwriters chose to take "Kitty", a song by UK sensation Racey , and re-imagine it into a bubbly tune about a boy — one whom she'd describe in a cheerleader-style chant as "so fine". The resulting song, "Mickey", became a worldwide smash and one of the signature pop hits of the decade. It almost didn't happen, Basil [...]

Did You Hear? :: Justin Bieber will have you know he's no teen flash in the pan — he's Just Getting Started, according to his "100% official" book. He tweeted: "Hope u like it, I can’t wait 4u 2 read it." (We just hope he can spell out "y-o-u," "f-o-r," and "t-o" in the actual book.) [ Twitter ] :: Pink will have a surprising guest star on her upcoming album The Truth About Love — her one-year-old "violent [...]

As we get ready for another year of pencils, books, and dirty looks, let's kick back with a set of songs dedicated to art of education. Van Halen - "Hot For Teacher" "Hot For Teacher" remains possibly the greatest school-themed video of all time. Endlessly over the top, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, the clip rules hard with hilarity and rock & roll excellence. "19843 would turn out to be the last hoorah for Van Halen's salad days [...]

Did You Hear? :: Not everyone tuned into the 2011 MTV VMAs — Maroon 5's Adam Levine continued his anti-VMA rant to E! News: "I remember when I was a kid I worshiped the VMAs," he said. "It was a celebratory day that represented what the channel stood for."And now? "It's sad. It's like seeing Tower Records in L.A. as a clothing store." [ E!

Yesterday Lil Mama stopped by Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club in New York to chat with host Charlamagne, and got unexpectedly emotional during the interview, going so far as to shed a few tears. What made the "NY NY LA LA" rapper break down? No, it wasn't because anyone accused her lip gloss of not being cool or poppin' — it was in response to being told that she didn't seem focused on music anymore, coupled with rising grief about her mother succumbing to cancer. Head below to watch Lil Mama go "On [...]

Can't co-sign this one at all. It's one thing to criticize an artist on their musical abilities/talent but sometimes bloggers, radio personalities, and fans (especially online) can take things too far and get too personal on their attacks on an artist. Yeah we all had something to say about Lil Mama jumping on stage with Alicia and Hov but the shit was entertaining, what else do you remember from that night? Charlamagne went a little overboard taking jabs at Lil Mama's face and getting cruel about his jokes at times but if you've listened to Charlamagne you know it's the [...]
