  • Junk Mail: Big Sean 'Dark Sky Paradise' Album Review

    I think Dark Sky Paradise was a solid effort for Big Sean. I don't think it puts him in the same league as Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, but I definitely see a lot of Drake similarities as far as the way his style has developed. I think this is just the beginning of a strong career for Sean, who had been floundering for sometime in the hip-hop world, trying to make a name for himself. He can spit with the best of him and his sound has definitely matured. There are a handful of solid hits that I think will help propel him to the next level and give him a new audience.

  • Action Bronson Shares 'Mr. Wonderful' Album Trailer Re-Enacting 'Boogie Nights' [WATCH]

    Queens native Action Bronson has unveiled the trailer for his upcoming studio album 'Mr. Wonderful.' The trailer teases the 10th track on the album "Only In America" featuring hip-hop production duo Party Supplies. Bronson does something a little different with his album. In previewing the new track, he creates a visual clip as an ode to the classic 1990s movie 'Boogie Nights,' something he was surely brought up on, staring Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, John C. Reilly and Julianne Moore.

  • Nickelback's Ryan Peake on Dodging Wikipedia, Building 'Circles of Doom' and Battling U2 for Most Loathed

    Nickelback is one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st Century, yet guitarist Ryan Peake—who's been with the band for the entirety of its run—doesn't have a Wikipedia page. Music Times spoke to Peake as his band tours in support of its new album, No Fixed Address, so that future generations of reporters won't have to work as hard as we did to research this guy. Peake discussed amped-up stage modifications, the potential for bluegrass on the band's next album, and whether Nickelback can rival U2's iTunes release in terms of generating hate for the group.

  • U2's Famed Joshua Tree Reportedly Vandalized, Limb Hacked Off [PHOTO]

    The Joshua Tree, made famous by U2's 1987 album Joshua Tree, has reportedly been vandalized by a fan looking to take some of it home as a souvenir. The tree has been a popular and revered site in the Mojave Desert for U2 fans for the past two decades, despite its collapse back in 2000. Hopefully the vandalism isn't related to the fact that the band put out a free album, Songs of Innocence, on everyone's iTunes last year.
