Classic albums. Great concept.

Skillz is on some Kenna sh*t, making a video and not appearing in it.

Actually, he shows up in the end (for about 30 seconds) with an “I Want Change” sign. Sounds like he’s endorsing Barack Obama.

C.L. Smooth and Pete Rock haven’t collaborated in years, so it’s good to see them cooking up some heat together again.

Clad in basque and fishnets, Kelly “I want to look good naked” Rowland mesmerized London clubgoers with a raunchy show. Apparently, she’s realized that it takes more than good vocals and expensive pop beats to make it in today’s industry.

The NBA All-Star starters were announced last night. The only thing worth noting on the lineup is that the West will demolish the East again this year. It’s not even a question, especially with A.I. now on this side of the coast. Then again, the East now has a monster in K.G.
