East Coast and West Coast anthems often seem at odds with each other — you're either singing the praises of the brightly-lit concrete jungle in Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State Of Mind," or you're basking in the joys of scantily-clad beach-drinking on Katy Perry's "California Gurls." But now Lil Mama and Snoop Dogg have managed to craft a danceable ditty that toasts both coasts in the new track "NY NY LA LA." It's a fitting tribute, given that Snoop joined Katy on her ode to the Golden State, while Lil Mama [...]
Need I remind you what Lil Mama's claim to fame is? Probably not, as most of you reading this refused to acknowledge America's Best Dance Crew's existence. Many moons ago, Lil Mama was self-appointed as the "voice" of the younger generation and presumably set to bring a bit of traditional Hip-Hop flavor back into an equation when Auto-Tune was running rampart. Well obviously that didn't happen but here we stand on the verge of her grand return to the booth. Deciding to switch things up, Lil Mama goes bi...coastal with a [...]
Did You Hear? :: After dropping her debut fragrance "Heat" and its olfactory follow-up, "Heat Rush", Beyonce will drop her third fragrance, "Pulse". It reportedly smells like "pear blossom, peony, midnight blooming jasmine, Madagascar vanilla and for the first time in a fragrance, bluebird orchid." And if you don't pick it up when it goes on sale this September, it just may be the best thing you never had . [ People ] :: Justin Timberlake defended Britney's dancing to Playboy [...]

Hollywood’s biggest stars put on an amazing red carpet show at Sunday night’s 2011 MTV Movie Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, CA. Allie is Wired was there to catch it all! Twilight dominated the Movie Awards, much like last year , winning 5 out of 10 awards. So much for the MTV Movie Awards, we've officially dubbed it the Twilight Awards ! Twilight's Kellan [...]
Lil Mama rocks a lil black dress (tricked out with stones), platform black heels and a slick blonde wig that could've come straight out of Nicki Minaj's wig collection as she walks the 2011 MTV Movie Awards red carpet. The pint-size rap star, who just returned to the scene with "On & On & On" , stole the show among the carpet's early appearances. While she's still probably getting over her inclusion on Complex 's list of the biggest hip-hop #fails , she absolutely succeeded with this look. She's poppin' — and we're not just [...]
There are plenty of songs out there about all sorts of silly little topics, but Lil Mama's "Lip Gloss" still stands out as one of the catchiest ditties about pretty much the most trivial thing an artist could possibly sing about. Now the America's Best Dance Crew judge who once committed a major Hip-Hop Fail by crashing Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State Of Mind" performance at the VMAs has returned to the hip-hop scene with a new song, "On & On & On." Hear it below, [...]
Not only will Nicki Minaj make a special guest appearance on America's Best Dance Crew this Thursday (May 19), the final contenders will be performing to the Maxim Hot 100 vixen's hits. The Pink Friday rapper has lent “Check It Out” “Massive Attack” “Moment 4 Life” “Did It On’em” and “My Chick Bad” (which, you may recall, also got the Tabitha and Napoleon treatment on Season 7 of SYTYCD ) to the IaMmE, ICONIc Boyz, [...]
Highbrows seem to take pleasure in saying things like, "Mash-ups don't take talent, you know. Anybody can do that." Well, not everybody can, because I've listened to some very horrible mash-ups. There are a few things that need to go into a mash-up to make it work, but simply put, some people are just dopes. I don't know what inspires a person with no sense of timing or melody to attempt musical creation, but I can only guess it has something to do with a lack of self awareness. But when they are done right, mash-ups can provide [...]

![[QuickPick] – +VIBES – “My Name Wale And I Came To Party” (Wale vs. Lil Mama)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2754958_lg.jpg)
QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like, out into the wide web world (or dubya dots). Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing up pieces for each artist and stay on top of the game, so hopefully this will alleviate some of [...]
Complex released a comprehensive list of the 50 Worst Hip-Hop Fails of All Time , and it's filled with comedy gold—actors trying to rap, rappers trying to act, lame beefs, humiliating performances and a ton of "oops!" moments from hip-hop artists that they probably hoped people would have forgotten by now. No such luck! Our 5 favorites below: #30 Vanilla Ice tries to be an actor. What Complex Says: "Despite having the same cinematographer as Schindler's [...]

I just couldn’t help myself. When I saw a video link entitled “ Glossy Grizzly Bears (Lil Mama vs Grizzly Bear) ", I couldn’t help but press play. It is exactly what it says it is, but anyone familiar to mashup work by musicians Girl Talk , Milkman , or The Hood Internet will appreciate this guilty pleasure combo of hip-pop and indie-folk. Sadly, the creepiest part of the music video is the way Grizzly Bear ’s members look like eerie porcelain dolls. At least Lil Mama ’s lip gloss is poppin… [...]
I know I say a song is the greatest of all time kind of frequently, but this time it's not even debatable. Lil Mama - Lip Gloss first posted September 27, 2007
Let’s throw this mamma jamma into reverse and Flashion Backward through UI’s archives to see what the boys and girls were saying, playing and wearing in yesteryear. It’s like stumbling onto a time capsule! Today, we’ve discovered reruns from the imitable Peter Toh. A "don’t f with me" New Yorker to the core, Toh has been writing and producing music since middle school. That’s right champ–while you were snapping your Bubble Yum and issuing poorly executed drawings of rainbows, butterflies and unicorns in your diary next to embarrassing revelations about your crush on this total [...]
It's been a global melting pot-sort of week here at GOMWAB towers (which is actually a one bedroom first floor flat in North London... but calling it 'towers' adds a certain sense of authority to this fly by night operation, doesn't it?) After Monday's post highlighting the worldly talents of Swedish/Japanese songbird Yukimi Nagano , I've decided to stay on the world music tip by offering up a nice little joint from Nneka, a soul singer of Nigerian and German extraction (I can just see your eyes glazing over as I type this, but stick with me...)

Jay Z's 'Blueprint 3' Where's Lil Mama 's cameo? We rather liked her epic fail of a stage invasion when Jay Z & Alicia Keys performed 'Empire State of Mind' at the VMAs recently... Click here to view the embedded video.
