From the looks of the photos, […]

The Carter’s have upgraded—for the summer at least. Jay-Z and Beyoncé are renting out a lavish 31,000-square-foot mansion in the Hamptons, reports the New York Post. The couple is renting the home in Bridghampton, also known as the Sandcastle, for $400,000, for the month of August. The property was built by Hamptons developer Joe Farrell, […]

LeBron James sure made that whole “getting a championship ring” thing seem really hard, right? Drake got his and didn’t have to shoot a single jump shot. The Young Money rapper/singer (the first to ever do it if you let him tell it), was given a National Championship ring from the University of Kentucky Men’s […]

The Nike LeBron 9 was a dope looking, highly functional basketball shoe, and will surely go down as one of the best designed and most popular sneaker models not containing Michael Jordan’s name. But all things must come to an end. In this case, it’s actually an evolution, with images of the next version of […]

Being the King has its perks. From the evidence seen here, it looks like T.I.’s next video will be for his T-Minus produced “Go Get It” single.

After winning the Gold in the 400m Men’s swimming competition, Ryan Lochte donned a custom grill with a design of the American flag in red, white and blue diamonds after beating out competitors including eight-time Gold medalist Michael Phelps. We all know the importance of having a grill or fronts in Hip-Hop—it usually means you’re a […]

Fat Joe still gets the ultimate respect from his peers. The Bronx rapper recently shot the video for his latest single, “Pride & Joy,” and shared pictures from the set. Kanye West, Jadakiss, DJ Khaled (he was in Terror Squad before YMCMB if you ain’t been paying attention), Busta Rhymes and Miguel, who appear on […]

The 2012 Summer Olympics is poised to be a huge ratings grabber for NBC, but it also spotlights a bevy of Black athletes who have broken barriers in their sports. Olympic swimmer Lia Neal of Brooklyn is only 17, but she’s become the second Black woman in her field to make it to the games. […]

Kile Glover has been laid to rest, and his mother, Tameka Raymond, has broken her silence. The 11-year-old’s funeral was held Friday (July 27) morning at Atlanta’s Wieuca Road Baptist Church, nearly a month after he was struck by a water craft, during a trip to Lake Lanier. Raymond, who is the ex-wife of Usher, has […]

Drake is a funny (and clearly delusional) guy. October’s Very Own foolishly believes that he is the first rapper to “successfully” mix rapping with singing. His words caused an instantaneous stir in the online atmosphere with commenters hitting up both our Twitter and Facebook pages giving tons of examples of reputable artists who not only […]

As Olympic swimmer Lia Neal prepares to attend the 2012 London games, the teen can rest assured that she has Brooklyn in her corner. Twelve Bar Co. is celebrating the high school student’s achievement by releasing t-shirts, donning the words “Swim Brooklyn!” in her honor. The company partnered with the USA Swimming Foundation for the products, […]
