We’ve become a little jaded in our old age (oh, hey, we celebrated our first anniversary on Tuesday!), and lately we find most lists very uninspiring. Every so often, though, a brilliant list reminds us why we signed up for this life of lists. Heavy’s listicle of the Top 5 Songs About Having Sex With [...]

As far as music video concepts go, when all else fails you can’t really go wrong with nudity… or can you? At least one of the following videos uses nakedness in a decidedly un-sexy way, but we’ll let you decide which one we’re thinking about. Above all, enjoy the sexy people in these 7 Naked [...]

Given that hip-hop is so focused on showing off the hot gear you’ve got, it’s only fitting that claims to being the coolest one year will sound silly the next. This is especially true with technological goods, which already become obsolete quickly before considering the accelerated life cycles of hip-hop fads. Accordingly, rap is full [...]

With his last few albums Jay-Z has really made the transition from being a famous rapper to becoming a full-fledged cultural icon. He’s even got his own hand symbol, like, um… Well, we can’t actually think of any people with their own instantly recognizable hand gestures (help us out commenters), but plenty of other celebrities [...]

We really love a spectacularly ridiculous hip hop album cover. You know, one that deploys all the common cliches with copious jewelry, fancy cars, naked women, suits, cigars, a lurking posse, toned and oiled muscles, maybe a skyline, the works.

We’re not sure the other people in the elevator were transported to quite the same place, and it became clear when the [...]

If you got a lot of Halloween loot you’ll be happy to know that nobody can stop you from eating as much as you want today: it’s National Candy Day! Somebody was thinking synergistically when they scheduled these two days so near each other. We’re going to take this opportunity to think about candy in [...]

When it comes to music, few things (aside from great music) win us over more effectively than a beautiful, clever or ambitious music video. Here are music videos for groups and artists we’ve mostly never heard pf before, but because they were able to put together these 10 Marvelous New Music Videos, they’ll forever be [...]

On this date in 1962, the seminal Halloween hit “The Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers reached the number one spot on Billboard’s Hot 100. Because this was way back in the day before real music videos, however, no official visual accompaniment for the song exists. This has allowed innumerable artists to [...]

The Star-Spangled Banner, better-known to some as the national anthem of the U.S.A., was first sung exactly 195 years ago, we’re told. Though it was not approved as the official national anthem until 1931, the 1814 poem “Defence of Fort McHenry” by Francis Scott Key was immediately set to the popular British drinking song “The [...]
