New Music Video: Coldplay - Paradise

This video is giving me life this morning.  Coldplay definitely knows how to stage a comeback, and from the sounds of it, Mylo Xiloto is going to be incredible when it drops on 10.24.  Watch the video to their second single, "Paradise," below and see the heartfelt story of an elephant who escapes the zoo to explore the world and reunite with his brothers!


See? There is money in the mascot industry. I'm gettin' back in the game...

Thank You Youtube For... Gang of Roses: Next Generation

Why Lord, why???

I'm all for female empowerment, and I'll admit that I like Teyana Taylor, Amber Rose, and Rocsi (the latter 2 in some capacity within a tiny corner of my soul), but filming this movie Gang of Roses: Next Generation was in no way shape or form a good look for any of them.    I've seen a probably a total of 2 minutes of this film, and I'm definitely going to put myself through pain of watching Gang of Roses: Next Generation in its entirety.  Watch the clips below and join with me:

Rocsi from 106&Park

Which Album Title Do You Like Best For T.I.'s Upcoming Album?

T.I.'s been working like a mad man since being released from prison, and he's already been in the lab recording songs like there's no tomorrow.  In a recent sit down with Rolling Stone, T. I. mentioned that he had two album titles he was considering:

“The first of two album titles I’m debating is Kill The King because in all that I’ve gone through I’ve observed how people respond to my circumstances, and I always wonder ‘Why ya’ll coming at me like this?’ But I thought, ‘How do you expect them to act?’” he explains. “Life is a game of chess and the object is to kill the king. If you anoint yourself king, you have made yourself a target. The second one is self-explanatory – Trouble.

I feel like Kill The King is definitely the better choice, but we'll see! What do you think?
