And now, for something completely ridiculous. Last week, Chris Brown and Frank Ocean made headlines for all the wrong reasons when they got into a fight over a parking space outside of a Los Angeles studio. Ocean would go on to say he was moving on and just trying to find peace, which, of course, is great. What's also great is this newspaper clip on the scuffle, because someone obviously can't tell the difference between Chris Brown and Drake. Maybe they just went with some photos from Brown and Drizzy's bottle fight last year? [ via ]

words by Harold Scott There are two thing to consider with hip-hop news - not everyone is going to keep up with every story , and people love to make things connect . Following up on one of the most explosive weeks in the game for a while and in keeping with these notions, we thought it relevant to re-hash some of the bigger stories from the past seven days, and draw some parallels while we're at it.

After sorting through the best songs and albums of 2012 (and figuring out who to watch in 2013), take an extended trip down memory lane and enjoy a recap of 2012 in pictures.

As 2012 comes to a close and we all start fondly looking back at the best music that the year had to offer, we must also remember the biggest beefs of the past 12 months. From rappers to pop tarts to boy banders, 2012 was chock full of feuds. Thankfully for us, most of them were just as entertaining as they were petty. But not all cat fights were created equal, so here we present to you the top five juiciest, naughtiest and beefiest pop feuds of the year. Clench your fists and head below! [...]

Welcome to the end of 2012. And possibly the world as a whole if you're so inclined to believe. Once again, we've taken the stray thoughts that fell through the cracks in our Annual Report and compiled them into one (hopefully) comedic list. As my esteemed colleague Jeremy Larson wrote last year , "Year-end summaries, lists, recaps, and reports are just study guides for an exam that’s never happening, you guys ." True, but by listing things and poking a little fun, we're doing our part to remind you that the music industry can be [...]
Did You Hear? :: Famed producer and Major Lazer mastermind Diplo on Tuesday (December 4) tweeted : "no lie i just finished something with @ psy_oppa and @ 2chainz the mayan calendar predicted this." So, PSY + 2 Chainz + Diplo. That happened. [ Pitchfork ] :: Palate cleanser! Beyonce in a skin-tight dress standing next to a vintage candy machine. [...]

Although plunging into a candy-induced coma ranks No. 1 on our list of things that make Halloween the best holiday ever, seeing some of our favorite pop stars dress up for the occasion is pretty high on the list. Halloween 2012 saw our fave singers, rappers, and rockers going all out in their fierce, fun, sexy, and scary costumes. Lady Gaga and Rihanna both showed their love for a green plant called Mary Jane, Miley Cyrus looked super badass as Nicki Minaj , Katy Perry played Jane to actress [...]

Rihanna 's is on the cover of Vogue  again in this month's issue, and in the profile of the Bajan chanteuse , she jetsets around the world, dishes about her personal life and generally licks the icing off of life. Just don't expect to find an apology in those pages, since she's, y'know, Unapologetic . The magazine caught up with Ri last month in the weeks leading up to the VMAs, and as per usual, she was in rare and revealing form — so in anticipation of her upcoming [...]

In the end, Kanye West never showed up, Rihanna and Chris Brown didn't perform together and Drake and Breezy didn't bump into each other (as far as we know). But there were still plenty of storylines and water cooler moments to come out of the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards (like Lil Wayne skateboarding on stage, or Ke$ha sleep-talking through her presenter [...]

One Direction - Getty Forget about that "One Thing;" it was all about three things for One Direction at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards last night (September 6) - three moon men. The British boyband were the big winners at this year's VMAs, winning three awards for Best New Artist, Most Share-Worthy Video, and Best Pop Video for their clip for "What Makes You Beautiful." 2012 MTV VMAs Performances: Frank Ocean, One Direction, 2 Chainz And Lil Wayne Not far behind [...]

So you thought pitting Chris Brown against Drake and Rihanna in the Best Male Video category added a level of drama to tonight's (Sep. 6) MTV Video Music Awards ? Well, the show's planners apparently wanted even more tension: the trio will be mere seats from each other in the front row, according to AllHipHop . Leaked photos of the celebrity seating chart appear to show Drake and RiRi sitting a couple [...]

We're one day away from the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards (airing live September 6 at 8 p.m. ET) and we still have so many predictions! Right now we're tackling the Best Male Video category, which should just be called Best R&B Video, because no other genre is represented here this year. And of course, sneaky sneaky MTV is pitting Chris Brown against Drake and Rihanna . Not that both videos don't deserve to be in here regardless. Read on to [...]

Remember when Greyson Chance played and sang Lady Gaga 's "Paparazzi" during his sixth grade talent show? Or when Charice 's pitch perfect rendition of Whitney Houston 's "I Will Always Love You" catapulted her to stardom? With the help of YouTube, everyone from your best friend to your grandmother can sit in front of their webcams to film and post their versions of today's hit songs. But now it looks like our favorite pop [...]

From the title alone, you can tell that Kiss The Ring  is a study in hubris. While the Pope and DJ Khaled both share a predilection for heavy gold jewelery, Khaled unfortunately has no grounds to commend grovelling respect. His previous albums (such as Victory  and We The Best Forever ) betray his now-standard hip-hop egotism, and this record proves how little he deserves to think highly of himself. If DJing, producing and recording for DJ [...]

Chris Brown and Drake have something else in common other their deep passionate love for Rihanna. The R'n'B singer and the rapper have been hit with a $16 Million lawsuit by New York nightclub W.i.P. As may recall, on June 14, the pair and their impressive entourages were involved in a dramatic fight where dozens [...] Chris Brown, Drake Sued Over Bar Fight is a post from: RnB Music Blog

One little (okay, not so little) fight between Chris Brown and Drake may end up costing both artists big . Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which owns the W.i.P nightclub (and its sister nightclub, Greenhouse, located in the same building) where Breezy and Drizzy's violent late-night altercation took place in June , is suing both artists for $16 million, reports Huffington Post . The lawsuit claims that Brown and Drake's fight has ruined the reputation of the club and has derailed a $4 million deal to expand its brand. [...]
