According to the Forbes Rich List for 2012 , Dr. Dre topped the charts as the highest earning musician with an income of $110 million last year. The rapper and music producer, who trumped Pink Floyd star Roger Walters and Elton John to reach top billing, owes the financial accolade largely to the success of his Beats by DRE headphones range, which accounted for a large chunk of his annual paycheck. Dr. Dre’s hi-tech headphones, with their iconic ‘b’ logo, have become an A-list accessory, with celebrities like Eminen, Snoop Dogg, Katie Holmes, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney [...]

Prior to Saturday night, My Bloody Valentine hadn't released an album in 21 years.

No means NO. Except when it means "okay, sure..."

Xzibit - Napalm Open Bar Entertainment: 2012 First off let me apologize to Andrew for getting this in a week late. The past 168 hours—at the time of writing this—were cannibalized by work, the woman, and of course Kendrick (and to a lesser extent Bodega Bamz’ tape). Secondly, let’s get straight to the point; Mr. X-to-the-Z’s seventh studio album Napalm (and first in six years) is surprisingly good. In the late '90s, Xzibit was one of the most promising rappers to emerge out of the West Coast underground scene that was [...]
Hip hop has always been strongly influence by illicit substances. Perhaps due to its origin as a culture of struggle (and ghettos being one of several circles in our society where drugs have a high profile presence), or a myriad of other reasons, MCs, producers and DJs have been crafting songs both extolling and vilifying the effects of unlawful substances for decades. No other substance has had the biggest impact on hip hop than cocaine and its derivatives. During the crack-cocaine epidemic, drug money was fueling fledgling rap labels, superstars were getting high, and the neighborhoods many of them came from [...]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced its nominees for 2013, and the group might just be the most diverse yet. The acts that have been selected this time around include many that don't fit traditional definitions of "rock and roll" - including not only hip hop groups like Public Enemy and N.W.A., but also Kraftwerk, who the Guardian notes would be "the first all-synthesiser group to join the assorted grizzled legends of the Hall of Fame." Also on the list are Chic and Donna Summer, who were nominated but not inducted in [...]

It appears that two seminal hip-hop acts—Public Enemy and N.W.A—just might make their way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That is, of course, if the some 600 artists, music historians, and members of the HoF vote for the two groups to be inducted. They have some mighty big competition, as the likes of Rush, Deep Purple, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Randy Newman, Donna Summer, and Kraftwerk are all viable for entry, too. I get the feeling Summer will get a look given her passing earlier this year while, personally, I hope Kraftwerk gets in as soon [...]

I originally wanted to make a mix of music inspired by California about six months back when I moved to The Bay Area from Minnesota, but shit got hectic & I got lazy. I moved out to Cali because I wanted to get into the music/tech scene and Minnesota just wasn't cutting it. Well, I've been in & out of some pretty cool creative companies since, but still haven't landed a permanent job. Especially at the one company that actually drove me out here (quite literally), SoundCloud. My attempts to get SoundCloud's [...]

Pavement - "Summer Babe (Winter Version)" Slanted and Enchanted , 1992 Pavement were never dressed for success. On Slanted and Enchanted , they sounded like they haven’t done laundry in years. Even now it’s hard to tell whether ”Summer Babe (Winter Version)” is a ne’er-do-well savant stroke of genius or a calculated masterpiece disguised in ripped acid-washed jeans. But it’s proof that three [...]
NWA Fuck The Police (Video) Sorry I haven’t been posting, I was in jail for going 78 in a 65. Nevada is a worthless state that should be burned to the ground and made into a better state like Oregon or Vermont. Once I’m caught up, I’ll be back. For now, here’s a classic that I’ve been listening to a lot lately.
