I Am…Sasha Fierce is finally out, and honestly, I am majorly disappointed. (more…)

Is it just us or is Beyonce about four months too late jumping on the “A Milli” bandwagon? It’s always been our pet peeve when singers try to rap (or vice versa), and the Beyonce as B-girl thing just isn’t working. We love you, but leave the street-corner thuggin’ to Jay, please.

I guess it’s official now — the BET Awards is the only music trophy show worth watching. But, since my grandmama warned me about leaving on a sour note, here’s the one thing I enjoyed about the 2008 MTV VMA’s: T.I. and Rihanna’s performance of “Live Your Life.” Note to Atlantic: that song is fire and should’ve been the first single.
