A lot of people were still doubting that Beyonce was ever pregnant at all. There was the mysterious collapsing baby bump, and then just a few weeks after giving birth she was practically back to Survivor shape. But baby Blue Ivy Carter is the real deal! Look at all that hair! Daddy Hov with B.I.C. A star is born. More photos at Life+Times

"I'm Pablo Picasso, I'm an asshole. I'm Drake vs. Common - who cares? I'm Gil Scott-Herron I'm New Here. I'm Lenny Kravitz. I'm Lenny Kravitz." - Kool AD Brooklyn hipster pop duo Chairlift covered Beyonce's hit single 'Party' for Triple J with Das Racist's Kool AD acting as J. Cole. The band sounds great, even interloping 'Friends In Paris' . And can we talk about Caroline's vocals?? She sounded like equal parts Mariah and [...]

Even though there was a small disagreement when auto-tuned Hendrix wannabe Wiz Khalifa named his album Rolling Papers months after Domo's Rolling Papers project, these two young, wild & free stoners have always seen eye to eye on one subject. Produced by Cardo, who else? Taylor Gang/Wolf Gang. Wiz Khalifa & Domo Genesis - Ground Up

According to Forbes , the real winner of the Super Bowl this year was Indianapolis. Fortunately (and unfortunately at times) I was around the downtown area most of the week and it was one big zoo. Saw a few shows, ran into some pro athletes ( Jerome Bettis tapped me on the shoulder at a nightclub, no joke) and overall had a great time, but the real winner in my eyes was the free show UMPH put on the night before the Super Bowl. They brought the energy and even people who were waiting for O.A.R (yeah, them) [...]

Justin Vernon stopped by the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set to perform ?uestlove's "fav Bon Iver jawn" for the show's studio audience. As expected, The Roots deliver a very, very, smooth rendition of the opening song from Bon Iver, Bon Iver, working in some mesmerizing jams in the almost 4 minutes added on to the original track. I think they should take it to the studio and record an official version of this, anyone else? via
DOWNLOAD: Action Bronson & Riff Raff - Bird On A Wire Action Bronson a.k.a. 2 Joinnnnnnnnttttttttttzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz and Rap Visionary, RiFF RaFF, drop off this delight, which slaps like sticks in a Three Stooges film. Does this pairing make sense? No. But it's like putting a dollop of Jell-O pudding on your Turkey, Cracker and Cheese Lunchable sandwich: weird, tasty, and somehow satisfying. Ripped the audio in case you wanted to bump this in the whip. And, why wouldn't you? No one else seems to have a link for [...]
I know it's Yeezy and Hov, but I yawned all the way through this. Nine times out of 10, there's no country for live-performance music videos—none. "Niggas in Paris" is officially included in that 90 percent.

Thebe is back from Samoa, and it's a digital media circus. Meanwhile, Domo & Tyler are in the studio with Wiz Khalifa (??). Even though Earl is 'back' and has a new Twitter handle , it's still a Free Earl situation. His parents are trying to keep him from his best friends , who have exploded into the mainstream consciousness while he was away doing leadership-related activities on the islands. No, Earl won't be on OF Tape Volume 2 . But it looks like he's ready to [...]
![Internet Gold: Outkast – Kim & Cookie (Interlude) [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4048543_lg.jpg)
This is why I love the Intertent. These are the type of things you only find on accident—kind of like those random HBO movies you get sucked into at 4:30 a.m., that actually turn out to be really good. Anyway, these two guys absolutely nailed Outkast's classic "Kim & Cookie" skit from Stankonia . I literally busted out laughing at the "Dick so shawt" part and the dude with the black hat had me in tears with his facial expressions. Yup, this was the perfect way to start my Thursday morning.
New Asher Roth video from the Pabst & Jazz mixtape. Asher just announced dates for his #Final4Tour. The announcement is hilarious, vintage Asher. Are you guys still sleeping on the kid?

Brainfeeders' Teebs is easily one of our favorite scientists of noise. Shlohmo's single 'wen uuu' is not only one of our favorite-titled songs in recent memory, but a fuckin' cool song to begin with. FoFMusic has a 123 version of Shlohmo's new Vacation EP in the works that features remixes from Airhead, Salva, Nicolas Jaar and Groundislava. Stream Teebs' take of 'wen uuu' below.
"You Know What I Mean," is probably my favorite Cults song. The video displays a troubled romance and some carnival stuntin resulting in serious injury, but the love prevails. Isaiah Seret directed the video (he also did "Go Outside" ) and both collaborations have been pretty interesting conceptually. Cults debut album is out now, get it here . via NPR
Damn, my nephew Hugh the Master of Concepts spazzed on this jawn. And you already know Al B Smoov is a god on the decks. The video is perfect too, directed by Nick Tatone. If y'all are fuckin with it, let's hear it. Shout to Stachebox Kings, Warm Brew and the whole family. 3 Shot Hughie & The News.
