Barring any Christmas miracles, Pusha T released the greatest rap album of 2013 in My Name Is My Name (Sorry, Yeezy. Stop playing, Em).The latest from the former Clipse member is a stark and evil-sounding album that wallows in darkness for much of its runtime..The few bright spots come courtesy of Chris Brown on "Sweet Serenade" and Rick Ross on "Hold On." The latter finally has a video to go along with it's slightly less depressing feel. Read More »
Rick Ross has put out some surprisingly good remixes to radio smash hits in the run-up to his December Mastermind release and his take on Drake's "Hold On,We're Going Home" is no exception Read More »
Lorde specifically calls out Maybach Music Group in the bridge of her smash hit "Royals," citing it as one of the biggest disconnects in music that isolate the content of pop songs and its audience. So, it's slightly curious that the Maybach boss himself, Rick Ross, would remix the track, but since that's the cool new thing to do, Ross added some new beats to "Royals" and a verse in the middle full of the Boss' signature money-loving rhymes.

As far as Rick Ross is concerned, it's been a long time since he's had a certified radio smash. So, it makes since that the Bawse Of All Bawses would bring out 2 Chainz in London to revel in his recent mega-hit "Feds Watching." Read More »
It's a chill week over on the Billboard 200. Notably relaxed singer/songwriter Jack Johnson's newest album "From Here To Now To You" tops the Billboard 200, selling 117,000 copies in its first week, according to Billboard. Read More »
In a moment that should be turned into a buddy-cop comedy immediately, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran (of "Lego House" fame) was apparently hanging out with Rick Ross (of "Hustlin'" fame). To add an extra bit of goofyness to the idea that the Teflon Don and a man with the name Ed would hang out, Sheeran grabbed a bottle of rosé and pointed to the MMG magnate. Read More »
As we covered pretty extensively earlier this year, Rick Ross was dropped (or was he?) from his Reebok sponsorship due to pressure from women's advocacy groups after Ross appeared to rap about date rape during his guest verse on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." (Even Rocko caved to the pressure, re-releasing the track sans Ross' verse). However, Ross doesn't seem to have any hard feelings toward the sneaker company. Here admitted that he still rocks their shoes in an interview with the Associated Press. Read More »
The first single off of Rick Ross' Mastermind is finally here and, for those who might have been disappointed by recent MMG output, you'll be happy to hear that "No Games" is a true return to form for the Teflon Don, squeaky sneaker synths and all. Read More »

While the internet has been aflame over Kendrick Lamar's (actually kind of lackluster...I mean a list of names is an audacious thing to put out, but it's still just a list) verse on Big Sean's "Control," Lupe Fiasco has been busy doing something about it. While Lupe was not explicitly mentioned in the verse that called out Jay Z, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Wale and others, he did release two songs (one seeming to address the controversy directly, the other just a decent song to prove he's still got it) "SLR 2" and "#DopeFrancis." In an interesting take, Lupe tweeted ghostwritten responses to K-Dot's diss in the style of other rappers and it is amazing how spot on they are. Read More »
