You might as well get used to Nicki Minaj. By the end of the year, she’ll have recorded collaborations with every hip-hop, R&B and pop vocalist in existence. Or at least she’ll come close! Given her omnipresence in the radio-friendly realm, we thought we’d dedicate […]

Aural Only: Erykah Badu
After stripping naked in public and inciting a wave of controversy, how could Erykah Badu possibly top her music video for “Window Seat”? Duh, she just picks up right where she left off. The clip for her second single off New Amerykah Part Two kicks […]
Album Review: Dru Hill
No one could take Sisqo seriously after the “Thong Song”. Frankly, most of the world wouldn’t have minded forgetting him after that ridiculous ode to ladies with whale’s tails, but unfortunately his solo ventures had the adverse effect of damaging the very group that launched […]
Aural Only: Bruno Mars
I’m incredibly surprised by Bruno Mars debut single “Just The Way You Are”. While it’s yet to be decided whether or not I like the song, it’s definitely not what I was expecting to hear from him. After all, the singer emerged on the scene by […]
Aural Only: Ne-Yo
If you’re going to give Lady Gaga credit for anything, you got to admit that she’s successfully brought the epic video back into the mainstream. After “Paparazzi” and “Telephone”, it seems like every artist with a decent budget wants to make videos that are twice […]
Vote For The Weekly Top Ten Wild Card
What defines the sound of summer? Is it a blaring club jam that leaves you sweatier than you’ve ever been? Or a laid-back tune about throwing back a beer or two? Don’t expect any answers from me! It’s up to you to decide which of […]
Aural Only: Jason Derülo
As you might recall, I wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about Jason Derülo‘s debut single “Whatcha Say”. That might explain why our review of his debut album read like a three-paragraph backhanded compliment. However, when it all comes down to it, the guy’s clearly got a gift […]
Aural Only: Kelly Rowland
Since American radio stations are apparently afraid of dance music (this logic baffles me), Kelly Rowland will be releasing two new singles on this side of the pond. The Stargate-produced “Grown Woman” will be sent out to Urban radio, while Dr. Luke‘s “Rose Colored Glasses” is […]
Aural Only: Rihanna
For a song that’s basically a huge “no homo” kiss-off, it’s a little odd that the music video for Rihanna‘s “Te Amo” is packed with so much homoerotic action. Now don’t get too excited when you hear that. Unless, of course, you’re into girl-on-girl action […]
Vote For The Weekly Top Ten Wild Card
We have nine songs ready to make a splash on this Saturday’s Weekly Top Ten countdown, and we need your help in choosing the tenth and final song! Between these four artists who are bubbling under the radar, which one deserves a place on the […]
