• Did David Guetta, Nicki Minaj Steal From Burning Man For BBMAs 'Hey Mama?'

    On Sunday, the biggest pop stars in the world descended on the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the Billboard Music Awards, which celebrates those who have achieved the best in the charts. There were a whole host of different performances by the likes of Van Halen, Wiz Khalifa, Ed Sheeran and more, but a few have made headlines beyond that night. People have scratched their heads over the censorship that occurred during Kanye's set and perhaps more under the radar, but newly reported by Vice's Thump, is a potential theft of intellectual property by David Guetta and Nicki Minaj. The pair performed their hit single, "Hey Mama," and some of the background installations look almost identical to those of a Burning Man art installation known as the HYBYCOZO series.

  • Marina Abramovic Apologizes to Jay Z About 'Picasso Baby' Music Video Comments

    It seems as though Marina Abramovic may have to eat some crow as a part of her next performance art piece.

  • Ultra Records CEO Patrick Moxey Backs Sony In Soundcloud Fight

    The battle between Sony and Soundcloud has turned ugly this month as the label has decided to start pull down it's artist's music from the Berlin music service.

  • ASAP Rocky 'A.L.L.A.' Tracklist Surfaces: Kanye West, Future, M.I.A., Lil Wayne, Schoolboy Q, Mos Def & More Featured

    A tracklist for A$AP Rocky's highly anticipated sophomore album At.Long.Last.A$AP (or A.L.L.A.) has surfaced online (via HipHop-N-More). Their source is unclear, so we can't quite confirm that this is the official list, but it looks plausible. The 18-track album appears to be feature heavy, although the names listed could just indicate the producers who worked on the tracks. Present on the list are the previously released "LSD," "Lorde Pretty Flacko Jodeye 2," the Rod Stewart-sampling, Miguel and Mark Ronson-featuring "Everyday," and "M's," which has been bolstered with an Lil Wayne appearance. The single "Multiply," which dropped last October is absent from the list as is the song "The Beauty and the Beast," which was teased during his CRWN interview.

  • 60 Years of 'Maybellene': Chuck Berry's Hit in All Its Live Glory

    Chuck Berry took to the studio in Chicago on this date 60 years ago to record his first single for Chess Records...a little number called "Maybellene." It was a hit, reaching no. 5 on the singles charts, but more importantly, it's often cited as the starting place for rock 'n' roll, more so than any other song. Berry may have been one of the first to break from the blues into rock 'n' roll but he took something from his guitar forbearers, mixing things up live and not being afraid to toy with the formula, even for one of his most famous songs. Music Times looked through Berry's catalogue and found five different versions of "Maybellene" that have been dropped on official live releases.
