It's Thanksgiving, After All
By kathy iandoli Nov 21, 2012 2:36PM
Ah yes, it's Thanksgiving Day. Today we take in more food than humanly allowed, while simultaneously taking in more interaction with our families than allowed within the year. All food and banter aside, this is the holiday where people celebrate what they're most thankful for in life. Well, this year at Groove, we're thankful for rappers. Yes, you've read that correctly. Rappers. All of them. Okay, not all of them, but we have ten in mind. Most of the reasons have absolutely nothing to do with the music, but who cares. We're taking the day off from music talk anyway. So read up on our faves and why.We listened to Bey's latest single before it was yanked from the web

Breaking news, guys. Beyonce is a grown woman. Okay?! So, to be clear, that means that, if she so chooses, she can be bad if she wants. Or live fast. But maybe also go slow. And, well—according to the rest of her new song's lyrics—she can ultimately do "whatever" she wants. Got that? Good, it's settled.

Vroom...vroom...?

This past weekend, T.I. dropped a clip of the video for his collaboration with Lil Wayne titled "Wit Me." To call the clip a trailer would be an insult to trailers everywhere, as it only clocked in at 18 seconds. Well, the video finally arrived, and it's as fast as the teaser. But not in the way that you might think.
The only recap that matters

If you had something better to do last night than dedicate three hours of your evening to watching the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, then take the next three minutes instead to read through this and catch up on what everyone's talking about at the water cooler. You're welcome.
Yeezy is back, clearly.

See the photo above? It's a screenshot on the side of a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York City. That is merely one of 66 locations that will be premiering Kanye West's new single "New Slaves" globally. The track with projected visuals of Ye will appear on the various locations all night long. When Kanye returns, he goes hard in the (building) paint.

The event will produce many emotions for all who attend.

This year will mark Drake's 4th annual OVO Fest held in his native Canadian stomping grounds. The two-day event has a tentative lineup announced, as Drake revealed some of the details yesterday (May 15th). While Drizzy is the obvious headliner (he wouldn't have it any other way), other acts were named on the bill that will definitely guarantee some emo fanfare.
And it's everything you ever thought she'd say. Happy now?

Unfortunately, when you sign up to become a member of Destiny's Child, you sign up to be burdened by a persistent shadow that fans and foes alike will refuse to let you ignore. And not your own shadow, Peter Pan. Nope; it's that of she who shall not be mentioned. And if, on top of that, you (God forbid) try to go solo too, you are asking for quantitative and qualitative comparisons of your careers for years to come.

Here's how they party
By Danielle Cheesman May 14, 2013 9:51AM
Just give the people what they want, Beyonce! And in case you're not clear what that is, it's not new material clipped and teased via a Pepsi commercial (a la "Grown Woman") or even an H&M ad (a la "Standing on the Sun") -- though that last one may have admittedly been more enjoyable due to her lack of clothing.

A lost 'Unapologetic' track? Perhaps
By kathy iandoli May 13, 2013 12:40PM
While it's no big secret that singer/songwriter Sia helped pen the infectious Rihanna single "Diamonds," yet another track has surfaced that was allegedly intended for Rihanna's Unapologetic. The track is called "Loved Me Back To Life," and has Rih written all over it.
