Golden State Rap Songs: E-40, Mistah F.A.B. (and Lil B?) Get Behind Warriors
Tonight the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James will go up against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors for the first game of the NBA championship. To get revved up for the series, Music Times has assembled hip-hop songs about each of the respective teams, as few musicians get as amped for their local sports teams as rappers (the number of songs/mixtapes named "Beast Mode" after Marshawn Lynch is astounding). We'll start with the Western Conference and Golden State, representing Oakland and its hyphy hip-hoppers. And no: "CoCo" by O.T. Genasis doesn't count...regardless of how often the team sings it. -

ASAP Rocky, Rod Stewart Mixtape 'Born to Be Pretty' Isn't Happening
Yesterday, A$AP Rocky fans had a field day after the A.L.L.A. rapper was quoted in an interview saying he was working on a mixtape with Rod Stewart hosted by Lenny Kravitz titled Born To Be Pretty.

After the psychedelic nature of At.Long.Last.A$AP and the collaboration between Rocky and Stewart on "Everyday" with Mark Ronson, this almost seemed plausible. However, the "LSD" rapper took to Twitter today to clear some things up and say that it was all just a joke.
