6 Hip-Hop Performers Whose Second Album Is Best: Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest and More
Rumors are swirling around the GOP that Mitt Romney might seek the Presidency once again during the 2016 election, granted he can secure the Republican nomination. It's rare to see failed candidates attempt to run again-we haven't had a second-run candidate win since Richard Nixon in 1968-but that doesn't mean he can't do better this time around. To highlight this potential we at Music Times have selected six performers from Romney's favorite genre, hip-hop (EDITOR'S NOTE: we have since realized that the comment from Editor in Chief Emily "Witty" Wittman was in fact a joke. However we've already done all the research so we're running with it), who released their best album during their second try. -
Taylor Swift and '1989' no. 1 for Ninth Time on Billboard 200; Rae Sremmurd Debuts at No. 5 with 'SremmLife,'
Bet you can't guess what performer finished on top of the Billboard 200 this week! Taylor Swift and 1989? Okay, maybe it wasn't that hard to figure out. Although the album saw a big drop in terms of equivalent album sales (down to 155,000, the first time at less than 200,000 for the set), it still managed to take its ninth week at no. 1 since debuting 11 weeks ago. Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj still factor high. -

Tupac Shakur Movie to Begin Production in 2015;, Casting Yet to Be Announced but Due to Shoot during June
Looks like shooting on a Tupac Shakur biopic will finally begin rolling later this year, as producer Randall Emmett told Collider that the film is ready to begin shooting in June. Plans originally set the film to begin shooting during early 2011 before a lawsuit brought things to a halt: Production company Morgan Creek and Shakur's mother, Afeni Shakur, traded lawsuits debating whether a deal had been agreed upon or not. After a settlement was reached, Ajeni got some creative control as one of the film's executive producers. -

NFL Referees aren't the only ones who make bad calls. Check out these five bands who fired key members and paid for it. -
Bad Habits: Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Gwen Stefani and More Performers with Nun Imagery in Music Videos
Fifty years ago featured a very special guest appearance on NBC's Tarzan, as The Supremes stopped by. Fortunately even network executives and scriptwriters in those days weren't dumb enough to put the Motown stars in potentially offensive roles so the trio of vocalists was cast as a group of nuns. It was, in short, the most politically correct portrayal of nuns on this side of The Sound of Music. Many musicians have donned habits for music videos and very few of them took as kindly to the sisterhood as NBC did. -
PonoMusic Rumored to Have Acquired Rights to Beatles Catalogue; 'Revolver' And More May Be On PonoPlayer Soon Enough
Just last week Music Times came up with a short list of relatively recent albums that we'd like to see get the full hi-res treatment at Pono, assuming that our vinyl copies of older records would do for the time being. Apparently not however, as rumors suggest CEO Neil Young and the team at PonoMusic have gotten ahold of the rights to The Beatles catalogue and are working to remaster it in full 192 kHz. The new version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is "going to blow your mind," reportedly. -
