• 'White Iverson' Rapper Post Malone Says N-Word In Old Vine Clip

    Dallas rapper Post Malone has broken into the spotlight recently after signing a contract with Republic Records based on the success of his debut single. The "White Iverson" rapper is, of course, white, and as he's been noticed by major hip-hop outlets, he's also began to face questions of what it means to be a white rapper in an era of commonplace cultural appropriation. And if it was unfair for Malone to face such questions so early into his career, his race, and the privilege that goes with it, will likely take up much of his spotlight in the near future, as an old video has surfaced that shows a younger Malone saying the N-word.

  • Ellie Goulding Tells Crowd to Stop Fighting at Summer Series Concert

    Everyone knows that outdoor concerts can get a little rowdy but "Burn" singer Ellie Goulding probably never thought that a Summer Series show on a beautiful Sunday (Aug. 30) would incite violence so brutal that she would be forced to stop her performance and tell the crowd to stop fighting.

  • Tinashe 'Bet/Feels Like Vegas' Music Video is Sexy and Sweaty

    We all know that R&B songstress Tinashe knows how to dance, and she doesn't disappoint in this just-released extended video for cuts "Bet" and "Feels Like Vegas." It starts with static from a Los Angeles weather report and ends with the singer drenched in sweat, wriggling in a traffic tunnel, which we can only assume is also in the "City of Angels." She could be a Gatorade Ad in this, because she is just that sweaty, although we don't think her male fanbase is complaining about any of the seductive imagery.
