Monica & Brandy Release R&B Time Machine With “It All Belongs to Me” (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/06/12 | Filed under Monica, Brandy

Don't even front like the only music you ever listened to in 1998 was Mobb Deep. You couldn't be alive and living in America in '98 without hearing "The Boy Is Mine" four hundred times a day and rightfully so - it was the single biggest collaborative R&B track of all-time. I'm talking about 13 consecutive weeks at number one, 2.5 million copies sold and a Grammy. See more...

Congrats Giants. Good game Patriots. Blah blah blah. Now that that's out the way let's talk about what really mattered during the Super Bowl, the commercials. As expected there were some commercials that faltered (sorry Coca-Cola polar bears) and others that got the immediate search on YouTube after they aired. The following commercials are just a few of last night's favorites. See more...

Fine, I’ll Start Naming Names on This Pay for Post Fu**ery

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/06/12 | Filed under Features

But every time I do one of these posts I get deluged with a flood of "yo, start naming names!" emails. Ok, fine, here you go. Frankly I'd never heard of GrimeDaily, I'm guessing their focused on UK shit, but its good to know this kind of fuckery is international. See more...

Quick Hit: Andre 3000 Wants You To Know That He Takes Great Pride In His Facial Hair (Video)

It's really great that we finally get to see Andre 3000 again, but did it have to be in a razor commercial? We couldn't get a verse on a track with Big Boi? Or at the very least an appearance in a music video for one of the various songs with an Andre 3000 guest verse? Oh, the world can be so cruel sometimes. See more...

The Best of La Musica De Harry Fraud: AWKWORD’s Top 10 Tracks

With Fraud earning so much (well-earned) hype these days, and following the recant release of his new single with Maffew Ragazino and Das Racist, RefinedHype and I thought it would make sense to take a look back at the year that put Fraud at the forefront, from the perspective of someone who has been working with him for years.

Quick Hit: Is M.I.A.‘s Middle Finger The Worst Thing We’ve Seen On American Television? (Video)

I can answer that with a swift "hell to thee no." Fact of the matter is the media needs something "controversial" to talk about and the closest thing they got to that was M.I.A.'s finger which happens to be in the middle of her hand. It was a bit uncalled for, but we've seen way worse on basic television. In fact, I think I heard the Geico pig call someone a "stank ass hoe" in a recent commercial. See more...

Nicki Minaj Takes A (Much Needed) Break From Rapping On “Marilyn Monroe” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/06/12 | Filed under Downloads, Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj must have been perusing through the RefinedHype comments section for her last two rap songs because homegirl has turned into a Mariah Carey/Rihanna hybrid on her latest release "Marilyn Monroe." I appreciate the fact that Nicki Minaj spared our ears from another Hip-Hop atrocity, but this "Marilyn Monroe" song is really unexpected. Listen...
