“Mean” is a banjo thumping, hand clapping number from America’s sweetheart, Taylor Swift. The song was written to address Swift’s critics, in which she explained during an interview with Does.ca: “there’s a song called ‘Mean,’ that I guess you could categorize it into feelings and or relationships but it’s actually about a critic.”
Cobra Starship and Mac Miller join forces in the most DGAF collab to hit Earth yet. Of course, it isn’t a total shocker — Cobra Starship and Mac Miller aren’t exactly poster children for good behavior and in their latest music video they let us know exactly why.

Although MLK Day has since past, it’s never to late to spread his message of peace and equality. I recently stumbled upon a clip of 12-year-old Kanye reciting an original poem for MLK day. I blown away by his ability to command an audience at such a young age and the confidence he exuded as he spoke. The poem itself is a wonder, the words are profound in its simplicity and the flow culminates to a dramatic finish.
Jason Mraz is back with another mellowed-out love song to follow up his smash hit, “I’m Yours,” back in 2008.

Growing up I was one of those kids who knew all the lyrics and names to every single Beatles track and album. From their most obscure work to their famed Sgt.

Summer, beer pong, jumping into pools with your clothes on and chilling on rooftops with your homies — sounds like the perfect setting for a classic house party.

Steve Aoki and “Dirty Talk” pop sensation, Wynter Gordon team up for “Ladi Dadi,” the second single off his Wonderland album. The chorus drops pulsating dubstep beats to the words: “A little bit of joy/ A little bit of pressure/ A little bit of naked now/And then we work it out/A little smokey-smoke/ Tell me a dirty joke/ I’ll blow your roof.” Ooo la la.
