...Pain shows us his true colors. And no, they don’t involve the swirling, digitized effects from his previous videos with Lil’ Wayne and Ludacris, or even the trademark carnivalesque top hat and Oakley shades he sports. Here, T-Pain is a pissed off hip-hop (ahem) star who is sick and tired of getting shit for using Auto-Tune. The insults in “Karaoke” just add up. First, Kanye West makes an appearance in the bathroom stall, and surprised, says, “T-Pain! I did not even recognize...
...some point in the late 1990s, hip-hop became weighed down by bling and, taking its cue from the diamonds that adorned the necks of most of its artists, grew harder and more polished.

...retail rock star on its way to Harajuku. In the Japanese capital's frenetic neighborhood, where young Tokyoites troll the shops of local and global brands for hip deals, fans are already worked into a frenzy.

His impulsiveness has been evident this fall in rash decisions such as selecting Sarah Palin and suspending his campaign. While his supporters call him a maverick, I call him reckless. And as the past eight years have shown, recklessness is not what...
After losing its first Ancient Eight conference game 1-0 last Saturday to Dartmouth, the Harvard men’s soccer team looked to rebound from the heartbreaking loss. Even with senior All-American forward and co-captain Mike Fucito out with a hip injury, the Crimson (10-4) found just the right cure by decisively defeating and shutting out a struggling Maine soccer team (5-10-2) 2-0 yesterday in Orono, Maine. “To show that we could win without him really boosted our confidence,” co-captain Luke Sager said. While this nonconference...
