Good For Me | Today In Rap | Your First Stop For Hip-Hop News & Opinion

The former Death Row honcho was pulled over for a routine traffic stop.

The Wolf Gang's lost member is finally back from school in Samoa, and he's looking for Twitter followers.

Bad Boy Records has added a number of new Rap faces, all at worth on major label debut albums. The Maryland emcee who made "Shooter" is the latest.

Big Bad 40 links up with some friends from down South for this track off his recent "New World Agenda" album.

(The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Lenny Kravitz looking like they got dressed in a goth sex shop.) Huzzah! If you only care about the latest “Stay Scheming” freestyle, just keep scrolling to the next post…because this one is personal! You already know I’m a huge nerdy retainer-wearing buffpuff-exfoliating comp-notebook-doodling security-blanket-carrying superfan of The Hunger [...]

The dancehall performer was pinched on sexual offense charges.

(You may be wondering why the Brooklyn Bridge is covered in denim… the answer lies at egotripland.com) Jay-Z already heralded the birth of his “smarter faster me” Blue Ivy Carter with the song “Glory”….but as the celebratory news of Hov and Beyonce’s new baby daughter broke over the past two days, so too has the ridiculous [...]

Hallelujah! We’ve had a bounty of quality rap today, and now this…the molten chocolate cake to send you off on your weekend of debauchery…. A new teaser for Season 3 of HBO’s comedy series, Eastbound and Down, starring the always inappropriate but white hot Kenny Powers! Last season was a bit of a mess, what with [...]

Darryl McDaniels always gets a post. And the Queens legend's voice sounds stronger than any other time in recent memory on this one.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Hee Hee! I complain about the internets and how it’s taken over our lives, but sometimes all that immediacy and proximity makes for HILARITY. Like the viral video of that crazy wacky guy rapping at the top of his lungs to Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “N—as in Paris” on a crowded New York [...]

(Idris Elba and Charlize Theron: Is this Idris’ biggest movie project yet? Or was Thor bigger? ) We already saw a background video about Ridley Scott’s much anticipated Prometheus sci-fi horror flick, but here’s the official first trailer…and while you don’t really get much plot, you get the strong feeling that you will be scared, you [...]

I wish I had a wall-sized computer screen on which to watch the glorious action of this Dark Knight Rises movie trailer…It’s gorgeous and grim, and loaded with all the classic cues of a Christopher Nolan flick. Collapsing skylines, swallowing crevices, candlelit Marion Cotillard, and lots and lots of staircases. But even if much of [...]

Awesome Plug Research duo Quadron released a gorgeous soul album earlier this year. They’ve done a string of shows opening for Raphael Saadiq, and releasing some great Remix EP/Maxi-Single (remember those?) projects as well. Here, Coco covers Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor” with awesome results. Damn, I miss Lauryn Hill. After the jump to check their cover [...]

This is absolutely the best Friday gift for me…..This sneak peek at 30 Rock’s new season is amazing! How could it not be? Liz Lemon has a new boy toy! James Marsden (from XMen)….more Kim Jong Il plotline….the addition of Kristen Schall (who also voices the best gangster baby girl on TV…I’m talkin’ bout Bob’s Burgers‘ LOUISE)….and [...]

This woman took that Drake and Rick Ross “Free Spirit” song….way way too seriously. Holy crap. I’m speechless. I guess I had somehow convinced myself that last week’s viral photo of a young women with her eyebrows shaved off and a huge tattoo on her forehead that read “DRAKE” was just a horrible figment of my [...]

You know when something or someone is bad for you…High-fructose corn syrup. Bleached flour. RUSH pre-paid credit cards. Mixed beverages sold out of car trunks at Summer Jam. Women with neck tattoos and Worldstar dance moves. Guys in shiny moncler jackets who pull up next to you at the light and slowly lower their limo [...]

A little over two weeks ago, bubbling up-and-comers Radio Galaxy released the video for their single “Feel Trip” and a few days later their full album We Come In Peace. Singer Khimmy J and production duo King Coz have been working on the album in relative seclusion for the last 2 years or so, garnering [...]

This past weekend’s Saturday Night Live starring Jason Segel and The Muppets was 75% dud (even the music performance by one of my favorites, Florence and the Machine, felt a bit flat)…but there was this extreme highlight. Segel, a special sort of hot dork, sells a special foam mattress….that takes motion-isolation to new levels of awkwardness. [...]

L. DiCaprio (J. Edgar Parody) – watch more funny videos (I’m down to see J.Edgar this weekend because historical scandals are always fun…but I love this Funny or Die spoof of L.DiCaprio too. I totally forgot that Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan! Shameful. Living for [...]

Grand Theft Auto V is going back to Cali….er, “San Andreas”. I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since Rockstar Games blanketed us with Grand Theft Auto IV promotion….and if you remember, since that game was set in an almost-real New York City (aka Liberty City), we got everything from customized Mr. Cee radio [...]

(photo via Nation/Nahright via Wireimage) On Tuesday night, Joe Budden rocked a packed B.B.Kings, performing songs off his really well-received Mood Muzik 4: A Turn 4 The Worst mixtape, and epitomizing the era of the web-enabled hip hop star. He’s a sign of the times, and I’m definitely proud of his success. Earlier in the day, [...]

I love this! The combination of Diplo and Lil Jon is already cause for triple fist-pump, but then add on these gloriously cheesy graphics…. and you’ve got Street Fighter-meets-Pants Off Dance Off to the sounds of classic Diplo dubstep and Lil Jon shoutrap. I especially love the fact that the animation looks like they hired the [...]

Five years later, DX catches up with Jeanie who talks about her two upcoming albums, her retirement considerations, and side projects with Nottz and Ski Beatz.

Gabrielle Union’s Sexy Lingerie Photoshoot from Gabrielle Union A few weeks ago, over Abe & Arthurs mac and cheese, some fun friends had dinner with the lovely Gabrielle Union….and we discussed Hollywood’s unimaginative typecasting for women of color that allows Daniel Craig to be cast as a nerdy Swedish writer (in the upcoming Girl With a [...]

“The Social Network” Trailer – watch more funny videos I’m already a huge Zach Galifianakis fan, and an even huger (yes, huger) Between Two Ferns webseries fan. So on the release date of the Facebook film, the Social Network….the Funny-or-Die team recut the trailer in homage to the best interview series on the web. (spotted via Edith/Vulture) And [...]

(this photo from the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards was actually from 2006, when the awards came back to New York City after almost getting shut down by a hurricane in Miami during 2005. But I also did a series of “bling reports” for MTV’s 2006 VMA’s as well.) After writing a book [...]

Even when we announced that a Dipset truce had been reached back in April, I was hopeful but cautious about the whole thing. There are truces that are forced by necessity, truces that are prompted by opportunity, and truces that happen because the parties realize their shared experience outweighs their disagreements. Now, 6 months later, the [...]
