As we celebrate a new year we can’t help looking back at the year we just experienced. Maybe 2013 was one of the best years…
Hit the road, Jack, and don’tcha come back no mo‘! 2013 is finally coming to a close, and it has been a VERY trying year to say the least. Pop culture has been overrun with suspect shenanigans, moronic selfies are being snapped at an all-time high, dancing fat children are bonafide celebs, and lots and […]
About half of Americans expect 2014 to be a better year than 2013, according to the recent AP-Times Square New Year’s Eve poll. And judging…

15. Jai Paul, leaked demos Via lowerfrequencies.com It’s almost unfair that one of this year’s best pop albums was Jai Paul’s stolen homework.

Finally, 2012 is over. No longer do we have to hear about trash like Argo, Django, and Lincoln. Ugh, just win all the Oscars already and move on, since it’s time to get excited about all the garbage that awaits us in 2013. Take a look.
R&B is at a special place right now; it is evolving again. The call to action of supporting the genre and bringing back feelings has been harnessed by a new generation. It is once again exciting to watch the emergence of raw talents pushing for what they believe in, and using their unique perspectives on […]

This year BET Honors will celebrate the accomplishments of T.D. Jakes (Award for Education), Clarence Avant (Entrepreneur Award), Halle Berry (Award for Service), Chaka Khan (Award for Musical […]
No writers were harmed in the making of this list, but it’s worth mentioning that I nearly “put them paws” on an esteemed colleague who argued that Beyoncé belonged on his Most Anticipated Pop Albums — in the pleasant company of Selena Gomez and the JoBros — and not here alongside the architect of her megahit “Single Ladies” or, […]
