New Video: B.o.B Feat. Nicki Minaj 'Out Of My Mind'

Thu 23 Aug 2012

They say the music industry can drive you crazy, it looks like that's the case for Bobby Ray. B.o.B loses his mind in 'Out of My Mind,' the latest single in support of Strange Clouds out now. While the ATLien is wrapped in a straitjacket, Nicki Minaj enters the room as a voluptuous doctor in the Benny Boom-directed visual. Two artists known for going outside the box, together, in one room? This should be a good one.

The Roc is in the building as the beautiful Rita Ora's debut album has released officially in a few countries overseas. One collaboration fans couldn't wait to hear was the U.K. native's 'Love And War' co-starring fellow Roc Nation artist J. Cole. While Cole doesn't rap a verse, he comes through with a crafty hook. Stream the song below as ORA arrives in the UK on August 27, pre-order on iTunes.

Listen: Chilly Gonzales' Piano Version of Drake's 'Marvin's Room'

Wed 22 Aug 2012

I've never regretted quitting piano lessons more than this very moment. Piano master Chill Gonzales does magical things with the keys. Drake previously tapped him to create the outro on his hit 'Marvin's Room.' But earlier today, Drizzy posted the piano only version of the song on his blog. It's so soothing, it's not even funny. Check out another one of his tracks at Stereogum.

New York State Senator Demands Lil Wayne Apology: He Insulted Frank Sinatra and Jay-Z! (Video)

Wed 22 Aug 2012

The Lil Wayne witchhunt is happening. They're building a pire in Times Square and when the proud Gothamites catch him, he's gonna have to face a citizens' jury just like that scene in Dark Knight Rises.
How dare you not love New York?!? Haven't you read our plastic bags? Don't you know that New York birthed Hip Hop? Have you tasted our tap water? Do you follow El Bloombito?

(Is it ok to remove some rotten tomatoes from the composting station in Park Slope?'because I need something to throw at Weezy when the angry mob catches him.)

Ok seriously'I know folks are mad because Lil Wayne told MTV that he 'flat out, doesn't like New York.' But he has had some trying experiences here (i.e., that Rikers Island jail bid), and he imagines that folks don't like him here (even though his appearances are always jampacked), and he thinks something might have happened at SummerJam (but he can't quite recall what). Now Weezy is totally entitled to that opinion, but obviously it's not NYC's fault that he got caught with a burner in 2009.

But how serious can I be when we have a New York State Senator (Malcolm Smith) holding a press conferences in Times Square, demanding that Lil Wayne apologize because:

'He should also know anecdotally or not, he's insulted the memory of Frank Sinatra. And he's also insulted Jay-Z. Both have made endearing songs about New York.'

This is going way left'and I love it.

   Relax New York purist. Not everyone is from N.Y. and have some royal affinity for it. Weezy owes nothing to New York and has no particular reason to hold it in some sort of grand esteem. Dude is from New Orleans, Louisiana CHILL OUT people. Its also just his opinion which he is entitled too. Its depressing that New York State Senator Malcom Smith doesn't have anything else better to do than commit on a 2min interview on an MTV clip..I mean REALLY??. Oh yea New York, they're other places in the world besides you, but guys won't admit it..fair enough..ha

   Your right there are MANY places in the world beyond NY. Cheaper, safer, cleaner'..yet in spite of that and how not great NY is everyone has an opinion for or about us.

    Not only that, in this case, he would seem to have a 100% legit reason for not liking it. They put him in prison for months' for a gun sitting on a tour bus. I would be pissed too. Most states wouldn't give a shit about it.

   Editing is a universal practice that is often overlooked. But maybe she's contracted to wear those shoes. Who knows. Doesn't explain the strange all-black frocks though.

   The bigger question is, does Kanye go for the sample cups or does he go right into getting his fav flavors? You gotta knock out at least 2 samples if you're a true fro-yo'er.

During a sitdown with MTV News, Kreayshawn speaks on spending time in studio with Kid Cudi working on 'Like It Or Love It' from her debut.

'Since every song sounds so vastly different, the features are gonna be everywhere. With Cudi, we didn't really plan [to make a song], he came in and said, 'Oh I'm really into this punk stuff' and I was like, 'My mom was in a punk band!' From there Cudi brought in a guitar and began playing riffs for a track he had in mind, and they eventually incorporated live drums into the final product. The song that me and Cudi did is really punk-inspired. But he does gas that track though. Every time it comes on I know his whole verse by heart.'
