Justin Timberlake

Legend has it, that before his landmark performance at Folsom Prison in 1968, Johnny Cash, on being told not to sing about anything that would remind the inmates they were in prison, replied "Ya think they forgot?"

It doesn't get much cooler than that.

No wonder then, that New York rappers Capone-N-Noreaga pay tribute to the Man In Black in their new video. "Hood Pride" is a collaboration with fellow East-Coaster Faith Evans - arguably one of the finest voices in R&B today - and while it's a bumpin', hands-in-the-air anthem, we are loving the fact that the duo aren't afraid to make us laugh as well. 

Prepare for prison-based hilarity:

"Hold up! Jenny dead too." Classic...

"Hood Pride" is taken from Capone-N-Noreaga's latest album, The War Report 2; out now and featuring the likes of Nas, Raekwon and Busta Rhymes. No wonder they're so proud...

The dynamic duo John Legend and The Roots have done it again (we covered their song "The Fire" a while back) with a much more mellow video called "Wake Up Everybody" feat. Common and Melanie Fiona from their 2010 release Wake Up!. While somewhat organic in its visual content (i.e. loosely spitting out a bluesy R&B ditty on some NY steps), the message is inspiring. Check it out:

Missing a little Motown action? Here's a cool video "Mony Grabber" by band Fitz and The Tantrums. We're imagining Fitz and Mayer Hawthorne collaborating on a Motown and Soul night one of these days...Wouldn't that be grand?

Anyone who's ever watched Marley & Me can attest to the fact that on-screen depictions of pet loss can be heartbreaking to say the least (see also: I Am Legend, Old Yeller, Turner & Hooch and The Neverending Story - eugh... still hurts.) A...

Back in April, M.I.A. scared the b'jaysus out of us with her ultra-violent, crazy controversial, super explicit video for "Born Free": a clip so extreme it earned a ban from YouTube. It was a hell of a post-baby comeback, and when her hyper-political album, /\/\ /\ Y /\, was released last month, it was clear that the London artist was edgier than ever.

So, after all the blood, guts and exploding bodies of "Born Free", we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when we saw her latest promo - for "XXXO", a tale of lust in the digital age.

Swans and stars and flowers and unicorns, oh my:

The astounding and genre-defying /\/\ /\ Y /\ is available now, through Interscope Records. And it's sweet as hell...

Just as the Summer Festival season ramps down, Outside Lands touched down on San Francisco's own little forest, Golden Gate Park, for the third year in a row. This year, the biggest music festival in San Francisco was predicted to be significant...

Generally speaking, we're a joyful bunch over here at JustinTimberlake.com, but sometimes, tales of frustration and disillusionment move us to a point where we just have to share them with you. So here's Freddie Gibbs: unerring in his honesty, an...

A prominent star in the UK (literally the biggest selling UK-based female artist in the world), yet a relative unknown in the US. Welcome to the colorful, whismical world of singer Katie Melua! She kind of reminds us of ...
