Quick Hit: Adele (Rightfully) Pulls A “M.I.A.” At The 2012 Brit Awards (Video)
Despite Adele saying "thank you" one or five too many times that still doesn't mean you have to cut off the acceptance speech of one of the most awarded singers of 2012. Adele must have taken a lesson from the "Book Of M.I.A." when she decided to flick the middle finger to no one in particular. See more...
Quick Hit: I’m Not Quite Sure What The Point Of This New Snoop Dogg Video Is, But I’m Sure Guys Will Love It
It looks like Snoop Dogg must have somehow gotten his hands on some extra footage from his "Girls Gone Wild: Doggy Style" videotapes. Is it just me or does Snoop tend to look a lot angrier when his hair's not braided? He's definitely giving me the "my hairdresser is on vacation so please don't try me" vibe in this video.

Crooks & Castles Creates A Hat For Just About Every Day Of Spring For Their Spring 2012 Line (Pics)
Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/22/12 | Filed under Fashion, Crooks & CastlesWhen a clothing brand releases a line of hats to go along with their spring line of clothing you can usually expect around five hats at the most, but Crooks & Castles has actually created 82,000 new hats for their spring 2012 line. Okay, they didn't really create that many hats but it sure as hell feels like it. The actual number is probably somewhere around 50 which is still a pretty hefty number. See more...
BJ The Chicago Kid & Kendrick Lamar Continue To Amaze On “The World Is A Ghetto” (Listen & Download)
Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/22/12 | Filed under Downloads, Kendrick Lamar, BJ The Chicago KidOne might think it'd be incredibly hard for BJ The Chicago Kid to top the incredibly dope "His Pain," the "Pineapple Now & Laters" track he released about a month ago which features the always impressive Kendrick Lamar. But I have to admit that BJ gets incredibly close to topping that song with his latest leak "The World Is A Ghetto."
Quick Hit: Yasiin Bey Opts For A Dope In-Studio Performance For His “Ni**as In Poorest” Video
While Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Ni**as In Paris" video was filmed using only the most high end of video equipment and featured exotic animals, Yasiin Bey took the more modest approach for his "Ni**as In Poorest" video and it only makes sense. I feel like the brain cells I may have lost during that Odd Future video have now been regained thanks to Yasiin. Kudos. See more...
Words Can Not Describe This Crazy A** Odd Future “Rella” Music Video (Video Breakdown)
Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/21/12 | Filed under Refined Video Picks, Video Breakdown, Odd FutureThere aren't many words out there that can properly describe this new Odd Future "Rella" video but a few words that do come to mind include: mythical centaur, Ken doll crotch, and wigs on wigs on wigs. Although my brain is a bit fried right now after watching this video I have to give the Odd Future kids props for always putting out entertaining music videos. See more...
Rihanna & Chris Brown Continue Shock & Awe Campaign With “Birthday Cake Remix” (Listen)
Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/21/12 | Filed under Rihanna, Chris BrownI'm sure most people probably feel the same way about Rihanna and Chris Brown being featured on the same songs together and I'm certain the phrases "what the f**k" and "you have got to be kidding me" reflect those feelings. It's great that Rihanna and Chris Brown are past their situation, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to work together. Listen...
Is This Unreleased Kid Cudi A “Dose Of Dopeness” Or A Spoonful of “Eh”? (Listen & Download)
Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/20/12 | Filed under Downloads, Kid CudiAfter what has literally been years Kid Cudi has finally released his much anticipated track "Dose Of Dopeness" produced by none other than Dot Da Genius. And I have to admit that Cudi's track is exactly that, a dose of dopeness. It's kind of weird though because after hearing "Dose Of Dopeness" it seems like '08 Cudi was way doper lyrically than present-day Cudi. Listen and download...
Quick Hit: When Will The Madness (a.k.a The “Weezy’s Sports Corner” Videos) Stop?
I appreciate the fact that Lil Wayne wants to shout out everyone from street artist Eddy to Beats By Dre to a graphic image from a TRUKFIT t-shirt, but is all that really necessary? His intro's are almost the equivalent of those annoying 15-second video ads you have to put up with before you watch a video on YouTube. See more...
Melanie Fiona & B.o.B Are Hoping You Don’t “Change The Record” (Listen & Download)
Posted by Danielle Harling on 02/20/12 | Filed under Downloads, B.o.B., Melanie FionaUpon hearing that the title of Melanie Fiona's latest leak from her upcoming album "The MF Life" was titled "Change The Record" I was a little afraid of the song being a cheesy club record dedicated to a random deejay. This is Melanie Fiona we're talking about here so I should have known that she was referring to something a bit deeper than music. Listen and download...
