This beef really had the most to do with Tyler, the Creator and Bobby Ray. In Tyler’s breakout single 'Yonkers,' he suggests that he wants the “airplane” that B.o.B. was flying in (from his single 'Airplanes') to crash. B.o.B. didn’t like that one bit and proceeded to comment on the entire OFWGKTA crew in his track 'No Future ...

Depending on which side of the fence you’re sitting on, either one of these ladies could be at fault. Lil' Kim can be perceived as the older artist who won’t accept new blood -- take a look at what she did to Nicki Minaj on the cover of her 'Black Friday' mixtape -- and the Young Money emcee can be seen as the new jack who stole a veteran’s style -- brightly colored wigs, promo shot stances and ra

Game was originally part of 50 Cent’s G-Unit crew until he wasn’t. Then the two had a mini war, where they both began to casually reference the other on wax -- Fif put out 'Not Rich, Still Lyin'' while Game debuted 'I'm a Muthaf---in' Soldier...

Is there really any song of Beyonce’s that isn’t a classic? The former Destiny’s Child frontwoman has so many hits under her belt that she could double as a boxing champion. Blue Ivy's mom knows her way around a hot song. That much is a given,...

Fashion and hip-hop go hand in hand. Often times, the music reflects the fashion and the fashion reflects the music. However, like a lot of hip-hop, not all creative choices are wise ones. Hip-hop has a storied love affair with fashion. As the music got weirder, so did the clothing choices...

It is no big surprise that hip-hop has some raunchy roots. That’s because when an art form like hip-hop becomes the voice of rebellion, there’s a no holds barred approach to the content of the lyrics. For better or worse, rappers have pushed the envelope regarding what can exist within a song without making people faint once they hear it. Perhaps th...
