Did Russians Hack the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards?
There used to be a time when you would run home to watch music videos, but it feels like that time is dying a slow and painful death. Music videos used to be the driving force of what made a song a hit and now we’re left with what can make you go viral. After…

Yep, That's Right. I Do Not Like Ella Mai's 'Boo'd Up.' Mmhmm. Shonuff. I'm Lying
I’m not saying that I’m out of the loop, but I just found out today that the MTV Video Music Awards were yesterday. I had no idea they were happening, not the slightest inkling. I’m only sharing this because I saw that everybody’s boo, Ella Mai, was nominated for Song of The Summer for her…

Y'all Should Have Known Better Than To Task Madonna With The Aretha Franklin Tribute
On Monday evening we celebrated another MTV Video Music Awards show, the event popping up mere days after the legendary Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, passed away at the age of 76.

When Your 'Sex Diary' Becomes the Poster Child for Racial Festishizing
Before this morning, I didn’t even know The Cut’s “Sex Diaries” existed. The regular column is essentially an outsourced Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw piece, inviting anonymous New Yorkers to chronicle their “comic, tragic, often sexy, and always revealing” sex diaries for a week. Something about it seems vaguely quaint, but whatever. Content is…

Looks Like Tevin Campbell Is Having the Best Week Ever
Timing, as they say, is everything. Aretha Franklin went home to see the King last week and almost as soon as she passed, the discussions about who should (and shouldn’t) be involved in any tributes to and for the Queen started on the social medias. Discussions were started about who should play her in a…
