Yeezy's Back! - After a lot of scrutiny from blogs, tabloids and even the news, Kanye West is back stateside! The rapper resurfaced in NYC yesterday and was seen taking on the town with his very pregnant girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. She rocked the Kanye-designed Giuseppe Zanotti "Cruel Summer" heels and all looks good with the couple. Glad to see them side by side and happy! (Photo:  PacificCoastNews.com)

The Bromance Continues - If there was ever a bromance that the masses love, it's the one between Jay-Z and Kanye West. Clearly, Jay-Z was happy to see his baby bro Kanye back and at it, so hopefully it will show people that they're still besties despite speculation that Yeezy may have been jealous of Jay's bond with Justin Timberlake.

They Are Queens - Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu are the epitome of what Afro-Punk music is, so it was only right for them to collaborate on "Q.U.E.E.N." It's definitely just in time for summer and will rock all of the parties!(Photo: Atlantic Records)

Country Chris - Chris Brown is toying with the idea of making a country music album in the future. All we know is that if Ray Charles did it, maybe Chris can do it, too! Good luck! (Photo: Try CW/WENN.com)

Speaking of... - Speaking of Chris Brown, his girlfriend, Rihanna, has been given the ultimate reason to toot her own horn. With a record 10 No. 1 pop singles having hit the Billboard charts since she's been on the scene, we're sure that she's partying... and it's not even her birthday!  (Photo: Vallery Jean/FilmMagic)

"I Told Em" - Even with two wars and the great recession dragging on over recent years, mainstream hip hop, and pop culture in general, has been all about escapism, “I Told ‘Em” embodies the zeitgeist. Yes, there’s a bar-long acknowledgment of struggle — “Where I’m from it’s dope fiends, no such thing as heroes” — but then he’s back to the fantasy world, telling his jet pilot to ferret him away from all the madness. Still, it’s funny hearing French, who seems to inhabit a world of rap videos and nightclubs and constantly surrounded by entourage members and models saying he wants some alone time.

Why, French? Why? - French Montana bought two baby tigers. We're not really sure why, but we'll assume that he'll start a mini zoo like the one Michael Jackson had. We must say that the baby tigers are cute though. (Photo: Instagram via French Montana)
