  • 5 Great Grunge Documentaries Not Based on Kurt Cobain

    No music documentary has gotten as much hype this year as 'Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,' the document on the life of Nirvana's frontman featuring new footage, new songs, and potentially even a sex tape featuring Courtney Love (not really...but director Brett Morgen had a chance). Cobain was arguably the most influential musician of the '90s, a demigod among many music icons that emerged from Seattle's grunge scene. We can't wait to check out Montage of Heck but for the time being we recommend you check out these other five documentaries that look at aspects of Seattle's rock scene during the era, looking at Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and more. No, 'Singles' isn't one of them.

  • Floyd Mayweather Posting Suge Knight's Bail, Says Former Rap Mogul's Lawyer Ahead Of Pacquiao Fight [WATCH]

    When Suge Knight first heard that his bail was set at $25 million, he folded over in his seat and passed out. That number has since been reduced to $10 million, and Knight can breathe a little easier now that Floyd Mayweather has reportedly agreed to put up the bond. Win or lose this weekend in the Fight of the Century against rival Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather is expected to pocket almost $180 million, so he should have plenty to spare for his close friend, the Daily News reports.

  • 6 Legendary Acts from Alabama, from Lionel Richie to Wilson Pickett

    This week's albums chart had an unusual phenomena when the top two spots were filled by performers-Alabama Shakes and Yelawolf, respectively-from the same state. That state, of course, is Alabama. This is the sort of accomplishment you might expect from California and maybe even New York, but Alabama isn't exactly known for churning superstar musical acts. Music Times decided to mark the occasion by giving a brief look at some of the state's best performers over the years...from Wilson Pickett to Lionel Richie.

  • Game Pens Op-Ed On Baltimore Protests, 1992 L.A. Riots

    The United States has once again risen up in protest in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray a week after being taken into police custody. The official police investigation was just turned into the Maryland state attorney, but the past week has seen tensions escalate to riots, looting and clashes with police in the city, resulting in a mandatory curfew and the military being called in to restore order. Protests have broken out in solidarity all over the country in hotspots like New York City, Ferguson and Los Angeles, as well as other cities like Denver. The incident has restarted the conversation on the marginalization of young African Americans in United States society and police brutality and how to right these wrongs. Many people have an opinion on this, some more educated then others, and one is rapper The Game, who was just an 11-year-old kid at the time of the L.A. riots after Rodney King was brutally killed by Los Angeles police and recalls taking part in the looting and rioting that followed. He penned an op-ed for Billboard with his thoughts on the current situation in Baltimore with the perspective of someone there in Los Angeles during the 1992 riots.

  • Diddy Announces World Tour On Ellen Degeneres: Will It Be His Last?

    Diddy has become of the biggest moguls in hip-hop, taking on the role as brand ambassador for French vodka company Ciroc, his major media brand, Revolt TV as well as still being involved as various music ventures. Although he has been quiet on the music front lately compared to his 1990s output, it appears as though the "Shake Ya Tailfeather" rapper is plotting one last tour around the world. Puff went on the Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday to make a big announcement. Ellen guessed what that was and if she got it wrong, Diddy had to take a shot of Ciroc. Thankfully for Diddy, she got it write after four attempts. He did not give many more details then that, but did reveal it will be his last so he can spend time with his girls.
