  February 14, 2013 – Will.i.am and Britney Spears' Euro-clubby chart-climber "Scream & Shout" is a hater's smörgåsbord from the bloodless beat to the Jesse Pinkman-like bandying about of the B-word to that fake accent that Brit inexplicably saddles herself with.

  Waka Flocka Flame and Trae Tha Truth Get Bloody in 'I Got Em (Head Shots)' Video

  October 11, 2012 – Waka Flocka Flame is beloved for being as over-the-top exuberant as he is Southern hood, so his brand new video with Houston's Trae Tha Truth for Salute Me Or Shoot Me 4 track "I Got Em (Head Shots)" should come as no surprise. Bookended by a pair of non-sequitur, kinda funny sketches, the clip itself features the two rappers trading verses and blasting imaginary guns at the camera, each shot resulting in an arcade-style burst of gore. …

  No Trivia's Top 50 (Mostly Rap) Songs of the Year So Far

  July 5, 2012 – Ubiquitous major-label last great hope 2 Chainz makes four appearances on this list. None of those appearances are on any of his own songs, though he is a nice addition to each and everyone of them, particularly "Beez In The Trap," where he mentions Nicki Minaj's "doo-hickey."

  Rap Release of the Week: Waka Flocka Flame's 'Triple F: Friends, Fans, and Family'

  June 19, 2012 – "When my little brother died, I said 'fuck school!' " That line from Waka Flocka Flame's "Hard In Da Paint," framed his pissed-off post-crunk around a tragedy horrible enough to explain Flockaveli's hour of gun shots, shouts, and fuck-you-up chants. And there's a simple poetry to that exhortation. Notice that the line doesn't justify his decision, it simply states the facts. …
