Earlier this year, Anne Hathaway said she had decided that people needed a break from her. Well, break's over. The Les Mis Oscar winner and diary-keeping princess who everyone loves to hate teamed up with Jimmy Fallon to Broadway-ify some hip-hop tracks.

A guy has taken the time to painstakingly analyze and rank all of the cuss words in popular rap albums from 1985-2013. The least we can do is to find out what he discovered.

"Request at ur local Gay Club!!!" says the YouTube description of Houston-based Fly Young Red's "Throw That Boy Pussy." As if you'd have to ask. Perhaps the lyrics of this destined-to-be-classic — "Roll that boy pussy / Yeah, you got me lookin' / Thinkin' 'bout fuckin' / Let me get a rubber" — are not clear enough to…

The words "gay rapper" generally precede Le1f's name, because he is, in fact, a gay rapper and that's a rare thing. It's also a courageous thing, given how underrepresented LGBT people are in hip-hop and hip-hop's own fraught relationship with gayness.

On Tuesday's Late Night with Seth Meyers, Kanye West truly cracked the Matrix. Without raising his voice or spiraling into narrative curlicues or providing any of the intensity necessary to render this 2+ minute verbal essay on his creative prowess a "rant," West lucidly explained what he's been saying for a while now…

If someone had told you 25 years ago that Vanilla Ice would end up in a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese ad, MC Serch would end up with a talk show, and old school hip hop pioneers would end up broke, would you have believed it? Probably.

Pouty singer/rapper/SNL phenom Drake generally comes off as affable (he is Canadian) despite his brand somewhat being defined by his perpetual case of the moods. But not this time. Drake is pissed. Drake is disgusted. The press is evil.

Well, at least Miley is no longer the most embarrassing member of the Cyrus family (for now). Witness her dad Billy Ray's collaboration with Dionne Warwick's hip-hop rappin' son (says Complex) Buck 22, "Achy Breaky 2." Buck's first verse speaks of a chance meeting with Cyrus and concludes that this song happened…

In the Vlad TV interview above, rapper turned singing AutoTune addict T-Pain calls homophobia "terrible" and "weird," says he doesn't "fuck with" people who shun gays, and claims to know artists who won't work with Frank Ocean because he once wrote a Tumblr post about falling in love with a man. Throughout, T-Pain is…

Last night at the Grammy awards, Macklemore beat out Kendrick Lamar for multiple "Best Rap" awards. Afterwards, Macklemore texted Kendrick an apology. Classy? On the contrary.

Rap Genius, the lyric-explanation site, made a lot of money for three guys from Yale. It is not, however, universally popular among actual rappers. Some rappers would prefer that their lyrics be written down correctly.

"Distract your subject with hardcore lesbian sex happening right next to him" doesn't seem like a viable interview strategy, but then 2 Live Crew mastermind Luther Campbell is no ordinary interviewer. The, uh, chat above happened in 1997, around the time of the release of Jay's second album, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1.…

MC Serch, the more mediocre half of cactus-grabbing golden era hip hop group 3rd Bass, is getting a daytime talk show on CBS, which "will feature real people with real issues, relying on host Serch to use his street smarts and unconventional background to help guests grapple with and resolve their problems."

Kanye West has been so present in the media lately, between promotional appearances and his regular mid-concert "visionary streams of consciousness" (as he calls them), that any interview warranting a mention must be pretty damn special. His showing earlier today on New York's Power 105 is one such interview. For over…
