Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number: Kash Doll Admits To Lying About Her Age
Source: Jevon Salnave / Radio One Digital Kash Doll is causing confusion and she seems to love it that way. Earlier this week, Kash Doll‘s age once again was the topic of online discussion amongst her fans when the rapper tweeted out that she is currently 26-years old. According to online fan sites and Google, Kash Doll was born March 14, 1992, making her 28; but a few fans seem to think that the Detriot bred MC is actually older than that. During her age troll session, one fan posted a picture of a woman who appears to be Kash Doll at her prom, enticing conspiracy theorists to piece together clues for the actual date of the phot–to no avail. While the general consensus appears to agree the photo is either from the very late 90s or the early to mid-2000, the photo still falls short of prov...
Lil Wayne Gets New McLaren For His Birthday From Mack Maine

Per Rap industry protocol, Maine, who is still rocking with Young Money as its President after all these years, had his gift announced to the world on Instagram. “I luh ya brudda! I need that F1 driver outfit @ab had on!!,” is the caption of a quick video of the sleek, all-black McLaren 2020 McLaren 720S. Weezy turns 38 on September 27, so the gift comes a little early.

But according to TMZ, Mack went in and dropped $400K for Wayne’s, which reportedly lights up a different color at night. Wayne continued his praise of his birt...

For what may be the best stadium performance since SpongeBob and gang performed at the Bubble Bowl, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s latest animated video for “Money Maker” sees the pair take over an entire football field with the big-band bop.

Lil Wayne Details His Experiences With Police: ‘Don’t Judge No One for No Reason’
Lil Wayne is not a believer in the ACAB philosophy, namely that “All Cops Are Bastards.” The rapper sparked some controversy while discussing the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers during an Instagram Live interview last week. “We have to stop placing the blame on the whole force and the whole everybody or a certain race or everybody with a badge,” he said at the time. “We have to actually get into who that person is. And if we want to place the blame on anybody, it should be ourselves for not doing more than what we think we’re doing.” On Friday night, he doubled down on those comments on his Young Money Radio show. “I want to just touch back on something. Again, about any speculations about how I feel,” he explained before telling the story of “Unc...
Listen to Our Best 50 Songs of the Year So Far
Last week we shared our list of the 50 Best Songs of 2020 (So Far), and we’ve curated a playlist so you can listen to the standout bops of the year in a seamless fashion (you’re welcome). The list covers all musical ground, from the Dixie Chicks to the Used, Dua Lipa to Bob Dylan, Lizzo to TOKiMONSTA, and, let’s face it, is a great source of distraction during a year that seems to just get worse and worse as the months pass. Fiona Apple “confronts her internal strife, but doesn’t sink into it” in “Heavy Balloon” off her equally stunning album Fetch the Bolt Cutters, while Billie Eilish becomes the youngest artist to pen a James Bond theme song with “No Time to Die,” a song that features the 18-year-old’s “beyond-her-years soprano that tops a quietly haunted melody ...
The 50 Best Songs of 2020 (So Far)
Great songs have a freedom that albums don’t because great songs only have to pull off their trick once. It’s like how a great SNL sketch can be a terrible movie or why Vine was an underrated miracle of online comedy. Sometimes an artist can get a lot more done in miniature. When people say that no one listens to albums anymore, they’re obviously mistaken, but they mean that no one listens to certain kinds of albums anymore. They won’t wait to get to the good part, and an industry that’s been padding out their wares for decades has had to adapt to a new reality where the customer is always dope. From Hailey Whitters to Hayley Williams, from King Von to Christine and the Queens, here’s a supercut of just the good parts: The songs that have challenged and delighted and comforted us through a...
