  • Diplo No More? Jack Ü, Major Lazer DJ Wants To 'Retire Diplo Material'

    If you plan on seeing Diplo in the near future, you might be in for an abrupt change. In a new interview with Rick Rubin in Interview Magazine, Diplo talked about his upbringings as an artist, how he approaches himself as a brand and a musician, being a father and much more. He also causally slid into the conversation that he was looking to retire the Diplo name and focus more Major Lazer. Rubin asked the "Revolution" Dj how he separates out his many creative projects and Diplo dropped the bomb. "Well, I'm trying to actually retire Diplo material at this point. Diplo has a ceiling in Vegas, and I'm doing great there, but I'm so proud of Major Lazer-the way it sounds, the way it's mixed. I feel like if I devote my time to that, it could grow."

  • 'Nashville' Stars Lennon & Maisy 'In The Waves' Contest: Sister Duo Pens First Children's Picture Book Inspired By Song Of Same Name

    Five years ago, sibling duo Lennon (now 15 years old) and Maisy Stella (now 11 years old) posted a cover of Ingrid Michaelson's "You and I" to YouTube, and it quickly went viral. They've since adapted their two-part harmony for covers of The Beatles, Charli XCX, Robyn, and more. Three years ago, they took their talents from the computer screen to the silver screen for roles on ABC's hit musical drama Nashville, playing the daughters of the series lead character. As their careers continue to expand and they prep for the release of their debut album under the Lennon & Maisy moniker, the sisters have ventured into a new medium: literature. After penning the new song "In the Waves," they were inspired to author their first children's picture book of the same name.

  • The Brutality of The Bard: 2Pac, Dethklok and More Celebrate 'Talk Like Shakespeare Day'

    Happy "Talk Like Shakespeare Day" to all of our favorite readers and theatre geeks. We at Music Times tend to write more about Broadway musicals, or the occasional opera based on one of William Shakespeare's works, versus the stage plays themselves (you know...we write about music). There's no denying that the legendary playwright has had an impact on music with his words...in the most brutal way possible. For all of his poetry, the Bard turned out enough gritty one-liners that would have made Robocop a Best Picture nominee without removing any of the bloodshed. Take heed as 2Pac, Iced Earth and more demonstrate how "talk like Shakespeare" means "talk like a badass."

  • 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather End Beef Ahead Of Pacquiao Fight; Rapper Calls Boxer "My Brother" [PHOTO]

    50 Cent's friendship with Floyd Mayweather goes back more than a decade. Things started going downhill in 2012 after their joint promotions company The Money Team tore them apart - Mayweather backed out of it and left Fiddy with a $2 million loss. They had appeared to have patched things up until last summer when 50 bullied Mayweather on Instagram by challenging him to read a page from Harry Potter without messing it up. Mayweather fired back, calling the rapper irrelevant. After a few more back-and-forth comments, Fiddy ultimately reached out to Mayweather after one of the boxer's friends passed away in a murder-suicide, and it now appears they have patched things up for good ahead of Mayweather's May 2 fight against Manny Pacquiao.

    Bad news if you're all about Waka Flocka Flame's presidential run and platform that involves smoking a blunt a day, no dogs in restaurants, public shaming for those with big feet and, surprisingly, education: the "No Hands" rapper isn't even eligible to run for the nation's highest office.

  • Social Media's Biggest Stars: Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Lana Del Rey and Others Who Broke It Big

    Shawn Mendes in on top of the world (and the Billboard 200 and Album Sales Chart) as his debut LP, Handwritten, sold more than 100,000 copies and confirmed his status as a star. He's the first performer to use the video-sharing service Vine to find fortune, but he's far from the first performer to use social media to grab a record deal. Here are five other recognizable performers who got big on the internet...some of whom who have gotten so big that you may have forgotten they started out by sharing music on YouTube and MySpace, from Lana Del Rey to Justin Bieber.
