Cole announced his second studio album ‘Born Sinner’ was set to hit stores late January, The Audio Dope had its doubts. Don’t get us wrong… we … Continue reading
I think most of America will be happy with this decision. Who doesn’t like to watch Beyonce perform? I think it is safe to say that this year’s show will be much more enjoyable than the wack performance that Madonna, Nikki Minaj, and LMFAO had last year. Maybe we’ll even get a Jay-Z guest appearance. Enough said..

Last night, Kendrick finally let loose the track list for his debut album good kid, m.A.A.d city dropping October 22nd. No complaints here.
