B13 Peer Review

By Tom Breihan @tombreihan / July 15, 2015 - 12:51 pm This past weekend, I was driving my family back from the beach, where we’d been on vacation, and I had to contend with Maryland’s Bay Bridge, the most terrifying structure ever devised by man. The Bay Bridge is basically a pencil-thin piece of bent metal that stretches roughly five miles above the Chesapeake Bay. The view from the top is probably really pretty if you aren’t squeezing your eyes shut and praying to gods you don’t even believe in that you’ll make it through this. The fucking thing sways when it’s windy, and the lanes are roughly as wide as a Trader Joe’s parking space. It’s the drive I hate most in the world. So when we were coming up on the bridge, I wrestled back control of the car stereo, demanding that we stop the endless rotation of Lion King soundtrack deep cuts and asked if we could please listen to Beats 1 Radio instead. I wanted to hear some new pop music, further explore this supposedly-revolutiona...

By Tom Breihan @tombreihan / July 23, 2015 - 11:52 am Earlier this week, things got a little heated between two pop mega-entities when the VMA nominations came out. Nicki Minaj was a little pissed that her “ Anaconda ” video had been shut out of some key categories, and she voiced that displeasure on Twitter: “If I was a different ‘kind’ of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well… When the ‘other’ girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.” This was pretty clearly a larger point about race and culture, but old Nicki supporter Taylor Swift, who did get nominated for those major categories, took it as a personal attack: “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..” And as something of a vague peace offering, she also offered this: “If I win, please come up with me!! You’re invited to any stage I’m ever o...

By Chris DeVille @chrisdeville / July 24, 2015 - 3:46 pm Meek Mill set off a bomb this week when he went on a tweet-rampage alleging that Drake does not write his own raps . Reaction has been strong from factions arguing that (a) it isn’t true, (b) it doesn’t matter if it’s true, (c) Drake should be ashamed if it’s true, or some popcorn-popping combination thereof. Around the same time Drake’s trusty sonic consigliere Noah “40” Shebib stepped up to defend Drake’s songwriting prowess , Funkmaster Flex produced an alleged reference track for If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late track “10 Bands” on which Quentin Miller, the rapper Meek Mill named as Drake’s ghostwriter, recites the finished Drake version of the song nearly word-for-word. It’s been wild out there. Now Miller has posted an open letter to his Tumblr alleging that he is not Drake’s ghostwriter and affirming that Drake writes his own lyrics (specifically, that Drake heavily revised “6PM In New York” on t...

All eyes were on Janet Jackson at the BET Awards in LA on Sunday. The singer took the stage to accept the ultimate icon award for her expansive career and chart-topping hits. It's safe to say the only things more timeless than Janet's songs are her incredible looks — just look at her glowing skin! Wearing a svelte white jumpsuit and rocking long locks, the singer appeared exactly how you remember her from those hot music videos in the '90s. If you loved seeing the star back in the spotlight, you'll be pleased to hear that we're about to see even more of her. Just this month, Janet revealed her first new song in seven years, the catchy slow groove "No Sleep," which is her first single from her upcoming album. Even better: she has a new tour, aptly titled Unbreakable, in the works. Prior to announcing her new projects, Janet joined her husband, Wissam Al Mana, a billionaire businessman, for a rare public appearance in Milan .
