Remembrance for a Disc Jockey; DJ Mister Cee Dead at Fifty Seven
Usually part of the background, yet still energetic, the hip hop DJ is a cardinal element of the entire scene. Mister Cee knew this. He represented a class of artists and presenters that transcended the idea of the DJ playing second fiddle to the MC. Throughout his life, he wanted to make an impact on this genre of music that is often cast aside like a used tissue paper or denounced for its explicit nature and legal troubles. He had a few of them of his own.

Why the Beyoncé Backlash?
Beyoncé, inarguably one of the most iconic artists of our era, inspires an odd dichotomy of reactions. There's the fiercely devoted fanbase, buzzing with each new release. And then there's the curiously vocal contingent of detractors whose disdain for the artist seems wholly unconnected to any concrete critique of her work. Beyoncé's recent foray into country music with "Act II: Cowboy Carter" has reignited this puzzling phenomenon.
