Together, these three MCs from three different cities united for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda at WorldBeat Center on Sunday. The concert was a grassroots relief effort, with 100 percent of […]
She danced like a desperate stripper waiting for her trick to save her ’cause her weave got wet looking like a wet poodle. He rapped he was Ike Turner and beat his wife to eat the cake like Anna Mae. I’m being sarcastic, but that pretty much sums up my analysis of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s […]
