Kanye West sat down with BBC’s Zane Lowe to talk about himself. The pretentious interview lasted for an hour and Jimmy Kimmel decided to spoof it as “Kanye Kid (re)Kreation.” Two kids recited actual lines from the weird sit down.
Evidently Kanye’s new pimp, Kris Jenner, caught wind of the spoof and emailed the hilarious sketch to her daughter’s baby’s daddy. He wasn’t too thrilled about it because he fired a few angry and belligerent tweets Jimmy’s way. Read More →
Remember how Lady Gaga used to ruin all of her epic songs with videos exceeding three minutes and fifty-five seconds? Drake has done the same thing with “Hold On We’re Going Home.” The Canadian mob boss uploaded the video on Vimeo. Ugh…

Paula Patton doesn’t know why people want her to care about Miley dancing on her husband Robin Thicke.
Cher was not feeling Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance at all. “It just wasn’t done well,” the Pop legend told USA Today. “She can’t dance, her body looked like hell, the song wasn’t great, one cheek was hanging out. And, chick, don’t stick out your tongue if it’s coated.”
P!nk called the performance “tacky” and said Miley can do better. “She’s really freaking talented. She’s beautiful. She can sing her arse off and to go up there and do that? She’s cheating herself and she’s cheating the rest of us… She can do what she wants. People can like it if they want. I’m not going to buy it. She can do better. I’ve seen her do better.”

Hit producer Mike WiLL Made It says that Ciara is already back in the studio working on the follow-up to her self-titled album.

Chris Brown plans on supporting his X album with a world arena tour and packaging his life in a John Singleton-lensed documentary.
Miley Cyrus isn’t the only mainstream diva bitten by the Juicy J bug; Katy Perry tapped Juicy for “Dark Horse,” a promo single from her Prism album. Astonishingly, it isn’t generic fodder.
Britney Spears new single, “Work Bitch,” is more basic than the cover art. The single will likely flop, so the Pop icon is desperately begging fans to support the record.
Gucci Mane was arrested Saturday morning after cussing out a few Atlanta cops (they probably deserved it) while in possession of marijuana and a gun. This happened after he squared off with some R&B singer named Show at Lenox Square.
Although Azealia Banks’ debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, is still pending, the combative rapper is already giving fans a taste of her sophomore album, Fantasea II: The Second Wave. Stream “Count Contessa” on SoundCloud. (I still don’t get what she does.)
Jaden Smith has been tweeting some really weird things, y’all.
Rick Ross and Yo Gotti appear in Gunplay’s cheaply made video for “Gallardo.” (Irony?) Strippers twerk throughout, so all is forgiven.The heavy-hitting track appears on MMG’s Self Made, Vol. 3.
Speaking of Rozay, a fan fainted when she saw the Biggest Bawse at an MMG in-store signing. It’s obviously a stunt (or he indeed put molly in her champagne), but it still happened.

Solange wears socks with sandals in a video posted on her label’s website—SaintRecords.com.
Ronald Isley is still the smoothest R&B cat in the business. “My Favorite” found him collaborating with Kem, who wrote, produced and is featured on the track.
Obviously Kelly Price went to the Olivia Pope School of Public Speaking. The “booked” diva is a master when it comes to enunciation, breath control, diction, inflection, tone and eye contact. When she wants you to accept her lies as truths, she speaks swiftly and clearly without stumbling over her words.
Perhaps this sorcery is effective to mindless fans looking for validation everywhere except where it matters, but in 2013, before an audience of virtual anthropologists (people engulfed by reality TV), her efforts are futile. Read More →

Elle Varner’s relationship with NBA player Iman Shumpert has already met its demise.
Tinie Tempah follows “Trampoline,” one of the worst records I’ve ever heard, with “Children of the Sun,” a universally appealing track courtesy of John Martin’s soaring chorus. Tinie’s inspired verses aren’t that bad either.

Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes recruits Jason Mraz for his new single, radio-friendly single “Rough Water.”
Frank Ocean and Iggy Azalea appear on the Nabil-lensed covers for Oyster‘s 103rd issue. Both images are monochrome—Frank’s is under-saturated while Iggy’s is over-saturated.
