Nina Joins the Block - The Internet tried it but it could not stop the Nina Simone biopic from seeing the light of day. After stills of Zoe Saldaña arrived, depicting the famed singer in what many called blackface, the Internet lost its collective mind.To add insult to injury, the star of the movie herself went out publicly to talk, not so glowingly, about the film's lack of focus.Here we are, almost three years later, and the movie Nina will be out for the world to see on April 22, but how will it stack up against all these other music biopics? Time will tell. – Jon Reyes & Michael Harris (Photo: Ealing Studios Entertainment, Ealing Studios, Londinium Films)

An Educated Guide of Cuts - We are in the midst of a lituation, and Kanye West is at the helm of it all. After a public spat with Wiz Khalifa over changing his upcoming album title from SWISH to WAVES, Kanye pulled a Kanye (again), tweeting frantically and looping in Amber Rose tangentially. Muva bit back, but this morning we all woke up to a treat as she and Kim Kardashian-West posed together for a selfie. Peace was restored. Just yesterday Kim K tweeted a poll asking fans to pick which West album title they really wanted. So let's bring it all the way back to the music, despite wanting to stay tuned into to the tea-spilling. As you may recall, Kanye revealed an updated version of the handwritten tracklist he posted earlier, an additional track has made the cut, titled “Ultra Light Beam.” The mark Kylie Jenner left on the lined sheet of paper is now surrounded by additional scrawls and doodles, including a note, “Kim Never Left,” and a curious A$AP signature.Kanye also recently shared that he will host an event at Madison Square Garden on February 11 to celebrate his seventh studio LP and the third season of his Yeezy Line in conjunction with New York Fashion Week. However, tickets have since been pulled from Ticketmaster. What gives?As we are all keeping up with Kanye (namely his selectively updated and mega-cryptic Twitter account) for news on the rollout leading up to the album (as well as the tea, of course), it’s clear that with each passing day, Yeezy Season is upon us.While his hits are now classics, leading up to the release of Waves, we did some crate digging in his extensive catalog to dust off some of Ye’s lesser known tracks. — KC Orcutt(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)

The Next Episode - Whoever invented the remix (Puff Daddy will always argue that he did...read all about that here), one thing remains true: remixes were meant to add a little kick to the original. Nowadays, artists tack on one to five rappers to their single without switching the song up. It works at times, but usually it’s skippable (unless it’s Andre 3000). In many cases, artists were unafraid to try a new beat and new lyrics and it paid off. Here’s a list of those brave souls who took a chance and watched their remixes become smash hits. — Janice Llamoca(Photos from left: Kevin Mazur/BET/Getty Images for BET, Kevin Winter/Getty Images for BET, Ethan Miller/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)
