Drake - Getty Drake is the leader of the pack of nominations for the 2013 BET Awards. Drizzy earned a whopping 12 nominations for his solo work and gaggle of collaborations. He'll vie for awards in major categories like Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Best Collaboration, and Video Of The Year. Not far behind Drizzy with 8 nominations each are 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar . Lamar, who has had an outstanding year so far behind the release of his major label debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city, [...]

Did You Hear? :: Is Blue Ivy already going to be a big sister? The music industry has been on Beyonce  Baby Bump Watch after the singer's appearance at last week's Met Gala , and internet sleuths have been using MS Paint to point out supposed photo evidence of a bump. Now "sources" have told a certain newspaper with a spotty track record that Bey is, in fact, pregnant again.  [ New York Post ] :: Selena Gomez has confirmed that she and Justin Bieber [...]

B&B doesn't really pay tribute to base level pop a lot, for somewhat obvious reasons (you aren't here for that), but truly quality remixes of anything are usually worth the time. Producer Groundislava has been doing this for years, releasing mind-warped versions of comparable pop hits from the likes of Katy Perry , Nicki Minaj , and others. He put all his memorable past works together in his Treasure Chest mix, which is available for any price via his Bandcamp page . Also included among the aforementioned artists are remixes of [...]

At the moment there's no word on a title, collaborators, tracklists, or anything else of the sort, but after rumours surfaced of Kanye West releasing a new album in June after he made a tweet saying "June Eighteen", it's all but been made official. Now according to Rap Radar's Elliott Wilson,  Def Jam Records  (via Chris Atlas) have confirmed that it is in fact a new album that's coming out, and it will in fact be released on June 18th. That's only six weeks away, folks. Six weeks until we [...]

Le classifiche di Billboard registrate tra il febbraio 2012 e il febbraio 2013 premiano su tutti tre artisti: sono infatti re delle nomination, con 11 categorie a testa, la cantante country e fidanzatina d'America Taylor Swift , i veterani Maroon 5 e i nuovissimi Fun , vera rivelazione dell'estate scorsa. Per il resto, anche i Billboard Music Awards non presentano chissà quali novità: i tre leader delle nomination sono tallonati da Rihanna (a quota 10), Carly Rae Jepsen (a quota 9) e gli One Direction (fermi a 8).

Shout out to @3x0dia for bringing up this video and the point that Nicki seems to work harder on other people's joints than her own. She can be real hit or miss and then just come out of nowhere with a crazy verse, it's really random. Another example on top of Out of My Mind would be her on Kanye West's Monester joint. She really "turned heads" on Monster . Peep Kanye's come back on her Blazin track. Although she does well, rumors [...]

Last night's episode of The Cleveland Show took a look at the insidious underbelly of the hip-hop Illuminati with help from Kanye West ,  ?uestlove ,  Nicki Minaj ,  Bruno Mars , and  will.i.am . We'd like to see CBS top that. During the course of the episode, entitled "Menace 2 Secret Society" , the High Council travel to Stoolbend to deal with Kanye's Kenny West character, who, in a bit of art-imitating-reality, has gotten a little too big for his britches, what with the 1,000-inch TV and kitten-pulled chariot. The titular Mr. Brown is pulled into [...]

After years of back-room dealings and slyly shaping popular culture, the hip-hop Illuminati will finally be yanked from the shadows by culture's one true savior: The Cleveland Show . On this Sunday's season premiere entitled, "Menace 2 Secret Society", guest stars Kanye West , ?uestlove , Nicki Minaj , Bruno Mars , and will.i.am are all revealed as the architects of the modern rap industry. "Cleveland inadvertently breaks into it and then it's how he will either bring them down or they'll bring him down," said executive producer Rich Appel of the episode [...]

Election Season is right around the corner, and it's a time when all Americans ask "Wait, what's the electoral college again?" and head to the voting booths in support of their candidate of choice. This year, with the amount of key issues at play, the upcoming decision is an important one, and has musical artists from all backgrounds coming together to encourage citizens to hit the polls. (If you missed Miley Cyrus and friends in a recent Rock the Vote video , it's well worth a watch.) But while many artists steer [...]

Welcome back to the  Hype Index , our  Soundbytes  segment that manages to squeeze an entire week of music news into one very opinionated list. Stevie Wonder and Nicki Minaj started off September in hot water, while Madonna and Elton John reportedly hugged it out. The MTV Video Music Awards turned 28, but without Lady Gaga   or  Kanye West [...]

By now you may have heard that the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards are taking place tomorrow night (Sep. 6) live from Los Angeles at 8 p.m. ET. We know what you're thinking: no way this year can live up to last year. The 2011 VMAs featured Lady Gaga 's gender-bending theatrics, Beyonce 's baby bump reveal, an interpretive dance tribute to Britney and oh yeah maybe you've heard of that singer Adele ? [...]

Though it's unclear exactly when it happened, TMZ is reporting that Katy Perry turned down a whopping offer of $20 ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ katy-perry-turned-down-20-mill ion-idol-gig/68338/

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 [...]

We have no idea how much of the non-stop hubbub regarding the potential American Idol judges is actually real or just Fox execs leaking rumors in order to get people consistently talking about the show during its off season. But hey, gossip is half the fun, right? And today's latest includes TMZ reporting that Mariah Carey isn't so thrilled to have her "Up Out My Face" collaborator Nicki Minaj added to the judges' lineup , while  [...]

Drake' s relationship with the mysterious and iconic Illuminati, no matter how tangential or forced it may be, has been established in popular culture for some time. Now, that drama and intrigue has taken a grandiose, comic book-sized turn by becoming the inspiration for an actual Web comic (via AV Club ). Written by Sean T. Collins, and with art from Andrew White, The Hottest Chick In The Game sees Drizzy battle the hip-hop Illuminati as led by Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Kanye West. The action takes place [...]

DJ Khaled has a lot of friends and I mean, a lot! Following 2011's star-laden record We The Best Forever featuring Jay-Z and Cee-Lo Green among others, he has announced the release date and track-listing from his forthcoming record, Kiss The Ring . Out August 21 and with an astonishingly impressive list of contributors: Kanye West, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Lil' Wayne, Nas and Big K.R.I.T. to name less than half. Kiss The Ring, if nothing else, marks DJ Khaled as the most popular man in hip-hop. [...]

This might be yet another move from Kanye, Nicki & Will.I.Am in their attempt for word domination...or it might just be the funniest  Cleveland show ever shown...tune in on October 7th to find out. Producer Rich Appel gives us a sneak peak, on what the premise of the show will be about: “Cleveland inadvertently breaks into and then it’s how [...]
