    Even though he hasn't released an album since 1999, rapper and producer Dr. Dre has handily topped Forbes' 2014 Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, bringing in a staggering $620 million this year, mostly due to Apple's $3 billion purchase of Dre's company Beats back in May.

  • Lana Del Rey To Perform Concerts At Hollywood Forever Cemetery

    Lana Del Rey has always had a morbid streak in her, from naming her debut album Born To Die to claiming that she wishes she “was dead already,” so it was only a matter of time before the 29-year-old singer-songwriter performed a concert in a cemetery.

  • Ylvis Share New Video For 'Trucker's Hitch,' 'The Fox' Singers Branch Out To Country

    One of the most unlikely pop hits of 2013 was "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)" by Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis, which hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received nearly 450 million Youtube views. Today, the duo, consisting of brothers Vegard and Bard Ylvisaker, is at it again with the release of their new single "Trucker's Hitch," which takes the EDM of "The Fox" and blends it with a more Avicii-style country/electronic hybrid. Of course, the point of Ylvis' songs aren't the music itself as much as the lyrics, which this time around are about the difficulties of tying a trucker's hitch knot.
  • Chief Keef Shares Weird New Song 'Wait' [LISTEN]

    If you've ever listened to a Chief Keef song and thought to yourself, "I would definitely be enjoying this more if he sounded more like a chipmunk," then you're in luck. The 19-year-old Chicago rapper's latest song "Wait" takes what sounds like a pretty standard Chief Keef number and speeds it up until the vocals become a flurry of squeaks and unnecessary Autotune. Most of the lyrics to the self-produced track become pretty incomprehensible, so good luck trying to rap along to this.

  • Disclosure, Sam Smith Share 'Latch' Remix Featuring Schoolboy Q [LISTEN]
