• 5 Examples of Rand Paul in Music: Candidate Deals with Mark Ronson, Rush and SXSW 2015

    Rand Paul has announced his candidacy for president during the 2016 election, making him the second member of the Republican Party to throw his name into the ring. The first was Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who came out several weeks prior to the Kentucky politician. Music Times gathered together five connections between Cruz and music, and we admit that several of them were tenuous at best. Senator Paul is a different story however. The candidate has dealt with Mark Ronson, Rush and South by Southwest 2015 in recent years.

  • ASAP Rocky Comments On Ex-Girlfriend Iggy Azalea, Says "I Think She Works Hard Like The Rest Of Us'

    In his new cover story with Complex, A$AP Rocky gives his thoughts on the career and criticism of his ex-girlfriend Iggy Azalea.

Despite the breakup, Rocky wasn't completely ready to discredit his former lady.

    Last week featured the release of the soundtrack for 'Furious 7,' the final installment in the 'Fast and Furious' film franchise. Your correspondent admits that he wasn't a huge fan of the first edition when it debuted during 2001. He's since warmed up to the series as the films have started to feature more and more absurd stunts, and more and more Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

    The hot news in hip-hop today is the rumor that Compton rapper Skeme may have ghostwritten songs for Iggy Azalea, including "Fancy," the no. 4 song of 2014. This news probably surprises no one, despite denials from the performer herself and mentor T.I. that anyone else had a hand in crafting her hits.

You'll be surprised at how many songs are actually written by the least likely of performers. Here are just a few examples.

  • Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" May Have Been Written by Skeme, Based on 'Sway In The Morning' Interview

    Everyone knows that Iggy Azalea fakes her accent when she raps—but that's far more acceptable than pretending to have written songs that she didn't. Rumors have persisted for months that the Australian emcee doesn't actually write all of her own bars, and now Compton rapper Skeme has been singled out as the most likely candidate for ghostwriting hits such as "Fancy." The performer admitted as much during his stop on the 'Sway In The Morning' radio show with Sway Calloway.
