Roc-A-Fella co-founder Dame Dash used to be a very close business partner and friend of JAY-Z’s, but somewhere down the line they drifted apart. It’s not entirely clear what happened between the two of them, but after over 15 years, Dash has decided that it’s time to apologize. In a video he posted to his Instagram, […]
Shortly after the Grammys wrapped up last night, 21 Savage’s co-manager, Kei Henderson, revealed that she worked hard to make sure a gesture in support of freeing the rapper from ICE detention would happen during Post Malone’s performance of “Rockstar.” Unfortuanately, she revealed that the details couldn’t be worked out in the end. “Lord knows […]
In December 2018, Ariana Grande laid out her goals for Thank U, Next, which would be dropping mere months after the release of her critically acclaimed, Grammy-winning fourth studio album, Sweetener.

Though it pains me to say this, I am still not presently in a position to type out the words LIL UZI VERT GIFTS TROUBLED PLANET WITH ETERNAL ATAKE.

The performance lineup for the 2019 Grammys has garnered a lot of attention in recent days—but it wasn’t exactly good attention. Though this year’s ceremony will boast performances by some of music’s biggest stars, the excitement surrounding the show has been overshadowed by reports of non-participants: Acts like Ariana Grande, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Childish […]
Drake used his acceptance speech for the Best Rap Song to denounce the entire idea of the Grammys. While holding a trophy for his song “God’s Plan,” Drizzy took a second to point out that the award he just won was meaningless. “We play in an opinion-based sport, not a factual based sport. It’s not […]
Travis Scott has just delivered another high-profile performance. Exactly one week after appearing in the Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show, the Houston rapper took the stage at the 2019 Grammy Awards. Surprisingly, Scott didn’t perform his nominated track “Sicko Mode,” but instead delivered a solid performance of “Stop Trying to Be God” and “No Bystanders.” You […]
Cardi B has won Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys, becoming the first solo female artist to win the award. And it appears Ariana Grande wasn’t too happy about it. The Bronx rapper’s debut studio album Invasion of Privacy beat Pusha-T (DAYTONA), Nipsey Hussle (Victory Lap), Travis Scott (ASTROWORLD), and the late Mac Miller (Swimming), who had dated Grande for nearly […]
