• 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.

  • Cleveland Rap Songs: T-Pain, Milford Jerome (and Iman Shumpert?) Get Behind Cavaliers

    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.

  • ASAP Rocky, Rod Stewart Mixtape 'Born to Be Pretty' Isn't Happening

    Yesterday, A$AP Rocky fans had a field day after the A.L.L.A. rapper was quoted in an interview saying he was working on a mixtape with Rod Stewart hosted by Lenny Kravitz titled Born To Be Pretty. It was described as "definitely a panty-dropper" and was expected to be released sometime his summer. After the psychedelic nature of At.Long.Last.A$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.

Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz, recently spoke to the Sunday Times in London to promo Major Lazer's album Peace Is The Mission about a variety of topics including the controversy that has followed him recently, music piracy and his lack of patience for dancehall haters because even Kanye West is riding the gravy train.
