Last night, during the final show of a three-night run at Revel's Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, Kanye West stopped a song, auto-tune still ringing in the mic, and asked the audience Can we make some noise for my baby momma? And just like that, the world knew Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were having a baby. For the doubtful, it was this video clip that cemented it. more..

This picture of Trinidad James' teeth is circulating the web. The focus is on the one tooth in the middle and the one missing. Just one — of both. On Thursday in New York, Trinidad James stopped at Power 105 to speak with The Breakfast Club. He explained the situation.

"First of all, I just had the bad grill in the beginning (like from birth.) And actually we did a show in Athens at UGA and turnt up… tooth came out. In a couple of weeks I'm going to get my joint turnt up.” You know, fixed.

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled on Trinidad James "All Gold Everything" video, grabbed the mixtape, watched the behind the scenes Gold Chronicles series. You see where this is going? Dude grabbed my attention. Despite that, honestly, I still don't know much about him on a personal level, like what his story is. But his music is entertaining and the over the top outfits and fashion sense is making him into a bit of a character — a key ingredient for success more..

I originally started this mixtape with the intention of letting go of a ton of old ideas... like songs I started writing but never finished. My ideas and concepts started to develop, so I changed the title and began to try and make the project more cohesive. Fantasea is almost kind of a first album of sorts....but it happened by mistake.... It's weird. This is a test run... I tried a lot of cool things... Sounds I thought were progressive, beats made by close friends, different flowsss. Lololololol I hope you guys like it! I'm nervoussssss.

Let's face it, Flex didn't give Nicki the tongue-lashing he should have, or at least hyped up at Summer Jam. One of the real problems with the interview was Peter Rosenberg, the person who made the comment, wasn't in on the call. Well he spoke to TMZ earlier and his explanation shows why he should've been.

"When I went out there I wasn't really thinking about it. I was trying to hype up all of the fans who were there to see Kendrick Lamar, School Boy Q and more underground acts, and yeah, that short of just came out. "

Here's the actual footage. more..

Today, Azealia Banks released "Jumanji," the first song off her Fantastic mixtape, coming soon. If all you've heard from Azealia Banks is "212" and wondered if she can straight up spit bars, this is your answer in the affirmative; yes, she can. Cycle it back two, three times to untangle the lyrics. more..

Meek Mill is one of the few rappers I'm waiting to hear from this year. His debut album? It's still in the pressure cooker; getting those last minute bits of flavor flowing. Until then, Meek touched up Drake's "The Ride" and made it his own: "Faded Too Long" with reflective lyrics about the kids who are lacking even the basics of life and at the same time putting a frame around his ambitions to make his life different, despite those - the D.A. - who wish him different. more..

You know what happens when you grow up? You look at pictures from your past and ask, "what was I wearing?" Trina is in that stage of her life and career; when her younger self doesn't exactly represent her anymore. So with a new album on the way, she called superstar stylist June Ambrose for a makeover. The results were revealed on the second episode of VH1's Styled by June. June's first piece of advice? Give those thighs a stiletto workout. June then shocked her with a new doo suggestion: a Mohawk down to her butt. Trina was understandably uneasy, but the motto with stylists is, "in your hands I trust" - otherwise, why be there? more..

The young Harlem native is one of Karl Lagerfeld's favorite new artists. He blessed her with a customized "212" inspired sweater; had her perform at a private party at his home in Paris; and now flys her to Japan to expose the beautiful people to that new-new. more..

On Friday, Nicki Minaj debuted her video for "Stupid Hoe," the brain-draining single off her sophomore album Roman Reloaded. The video, directed by Hype Williams, who knows a thing or three about translating animated rappers to the screen, is colorful, flashy and multiplies Nicki's persona to eleven. That's the good. The bad? "Stupid Hoe" will be known as one of the worst songs of 2012. Yeah, we're only 22 days into this thing, but meet the first person on the list. more..
