In theory, Keri Hilson should be awesome, but in practice – I’m always disappointed. This song isn’t terrible (well, the parts with Akon are, but still), yet I still fundamentally can’t stand it. Tis a shame.
P.O.S dropped one of the best albums of ’09. Never Better, a perfect and unconventional blend of Hip Hop and Punk Rock was forward thinking and insanely impressive. I already know for many, the thought of anything heavily influenced by Punk Rock is a scary thought, but trust me – if you love Hip Hop, you’ll love this artist and this album. What he produces is unequivocally dope on both spectrums.
P.O.S sat down for an exclusive interview with us while he was in London Town for a gig last year; We discussed the complexities of growing up in two very different towns with the black and white racial equilibrium, the difficulties of identifying himself with a particular sub-culture, how his album Never Better is, at its core, a Hip Hop album, his thoughts on why mainstream Black America hasn’t overwhelmingly embraced indie rap, and much more.
For those who are already fans of P.O.S, I hope you guys love this interview as much as I/we do. For those of you who are new to what P.O.S is all about – I’m proud to present this to you. This is real music. Real Hip Hop
Peace, Love & P.O.S

Once again, much love to Shan ‘Fantastic*nt’ Phearon for producing yet another great interview!
This song has made me fall in love with Monica allllll over again. I’m being 100, “Everything To Me” is exactly the type of record Monica needed to come with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s the best song to impact the charts, but reaslitically, these days – who pays attention to the charts? I’m saying for us Monica fans, the ones who’ve been waiting for her to come back to all her R&B glory – yesssir, that track is the one. Annoyingly she didn’t perform it all the way through, but did sing “Why I Love You So Much”, which kinda made up for it. Catch that after the jump…
Check Janet Jackson on the latest issue of Gotham Magazine – she looks incredible, no?

You can check out a couple excerpts after the jump, along with another beautiful image of her in the mag.
