There was a time when pop artists wouldn’t have dreamed of touching rap, and vice-versa, but over the last two decades the lines between r&b, hip-hop and pop have become so blurred these differentiations have become almost meaningless.

We all have “that friend.” Every time there’s a party he gets way too drunk, ends up saying something hilariously inappropriate and usually gets slapped.

In 2008 the U.S. economy fell apart like Amy Winehoue’s career, went down quicker than a groupie, crashed harder than a couple Korean speedskaters. Faced with such a desperate situation, Congress voted to inject the lifeless economy with $31 trillion, hoping to bring America’s cash flow back to life.
