  • Horrible Songs for National Hot Dog Day, From Elvis Presley to Limp Bizkit

    Today is national hot dog day, a celebration of perhaps the most American of food items, and a time for everyone to enjoy their "tube steaks" in whatever way they prefer (your correspondent, from Cincinnati, prefers his with chili, cheese and mustard). Although there aren't very many losers when it comes to eating hot dogs...there are plenty of losers when the food item gets tossed into music. Here are five examples of musicians failing to find musical inspiration in America's favorite pork byproduct, from Limp Bizkit to LMFAO.

  • 6 Hip-Hop Song Sans Verses for AC: Tupac, Eminem, Kanye West and More

    Has your mother ever commented how much she enjoys the chorus to "See You Again" or "Monster," but that she really wishes Wiz Khalifa and Eminem (respectively) hadn't "ruined" the song with their raps? She's not the first. This week we found out that a revised version of the former song, featuring only Charlie Puth's hook, as well as new melodic verses in place of Khalifa's bars, has been on the rise at Adult Contemporary radio...occasionally known as "Adult Conservative." The only thing less likely to end up on AC than hip-hop is heavy metal, but as rappers frequently find themselves invited to guest on pop singles (such as Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar), labels sometimes edit the "offending" portion out, resulting in a safer, frequently less exciting product.

  • Safaree "SB" Responds to Meek Mill, Says Nicki Minaj Isn't Over Him

    Before calling out Drake, Meek Mill's Twitter tirade began with a shot toward Safaree Samuels, aka "SB," Nicki Minaj's ex-boyfriend. Though Drizzy has kept quiet, just got involved by subtweeting at Nicki, telling her to show Meek, her current man, an incriminating email she sent SB on his birthday.
