Learn more about the Diddy-signed Cleveland rapper, MGK. MGK 's had quite a year since signing to Bad Boy Records last summer. He's had several legit hits and one of the biggest remixes of the year with his  "Wild Boy (Remix),"  which clocks in at seven rappers strong, including  Mystikal , and Jackass's Steve-O (who's just on the intro, and not technically rapping, in case you were curious/worried). And if MGK's boss, Diddy,  has been looking for his own answer to the great white hope,  Eminem , then he's finally found it. The Cleveland, Ohio emcee reps his hometown hard, and his city seems to answer with unconditional support for the 22-year-old. But so does New York: He's had two successful runs at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and he's made several appearances on BET. But MGK's rapid-fire delivery and unchained energy levels tend to hush any haters, if not change their minds completely. There's something uncanny and irresis...

Aug 15, 2012 By   Hello Beautiful Tamar Braxton   is coming for K. Michelle   again!! Remember a few months ago when Tamar Braxton and K. Michelle got into it on Twitter after Tamar made a back-handed comment about K. Michelle’s revelation that Toya Wright’s husband Memphitz stole the advance from her recording contract and physically assaulted her [click here   if you missed it] and then Tamar threatened to sue K.

Rockers play song while models lounge on couches Get More: Green Day , Oh Love , Music , More Music Videos By ROLLING STONE AUGUST 16, 2012 8:35 AM What are  Green Day  doing in the new video for "Oh Love," which  debuted last night on MTV ? Nothing much, just playing music for some friends, who happen to be scantily clad models with expressions of slight ecstasy, lounging on couches alongside a graffiti-marked stage that looks like it came from the set of the group's  American Idiot  musical. It's like the practices your band used to have in your parents' basement, except it's Green Day. With models. The song comes from  ¡Uno! , the first of the band's three new upcoming albums (the others are  ¡Dos!  and  ¡Tré! ). Singer Billie Joe Armstrong described the song as "very lustful" in an  interview segment  accompanying the video, which was directed by Samuel Bayer.  ¡Uno!  is due September 25...

Country is 'turning into Nazi America,' Dave Mustaine says Read more: By ROLLING STONE AUGUST 16, 2012 9:10 AM Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine has made no secret of his right-of-center political views, but the singer took an ugly conspiratorialist turn last week in Singapore when he said on stage during a concert August 7th that President Obama is behind recent shooting rampages near Denver and Milwaukee,   TMZ reports . "My president," Mustaine began, before pausing to pantomime gagging, "is trying to pass a gun ban, so he's staging all of these murders, like the Fast and Furious thing down at the border, you know, Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple." Twelve people were killed and 58 wounded July 20th in Aurora when a gunman opened fire inside a movie theater during a midnight screening of  The Dark Knight Rises . The suspect, James Holmes, has been charged with 2...

Beanie Sigel will be making his return to prison in less than a month from now to serve a two-year sentence.  In the mean time, Beans has been mentally preparing himself for the adjustment he'll have to make once the cell door closes behind him.  He opened up to XXL in a recent interview about how he won't be known as Beanie Sigel once he's locked up, but rather just a number like the rest of the inmates locked inside with him. "I'm done [with prison]. It's over!  In that environment, this outside world...you gotta hang all that up. When I go in there, I won't be Beanie Sigel. I'll be 57613-066. That's who I'll be. I won't be Beanie Sigel. I'm not gonna sit in my cell and write rhymes everyday. That's a real thing inside. There's people inside who ain't ever coming out of those buildings. I would talk to them and do my best to be a window for some of 'em who are never gonna make it outta there. We all have the same...

August 16, 2012 | 12:30 AM    Written By: Mike Hughes Back in 2009, Trey Songz made a diss track aimed at R. Kelly titled  (D.O.K.) Death Of Kellz , because R. Kelly had used Auto-Tune to modify his voice.  Since then the two have not seen eye to eye, and Kelly responded to the diss by brushing it off as if getting into a beef with Trey Songz was a waste of his time. "I don't get into the challenges anymore.  What is an elephant gonna do when an ant or a fly lands on them?" he said. "Those guys got some growing up to do. That's something I would have answered twenty years ago." The R&B veteran recently made a public statement to MTV that Trey Songz is one of his favorite artists presently.  He spoke about how R&B artists should not waste their time getting into conflicts with one another, but rather work together to further enhance their music and strengthen the musical genre of R&B in general.   "What is an elephant gonn...
