Just in time for “Tropic Thunder” The Urban Daily has the definitive history of blackface in the media.

This week The Urban Daily celebrates the spankalicious looks of Meagan Good!

LL Cool J is more machine than man. After compiling a resume that consists of numerous albums, 24 movies and his own television show, the man known as James Todd Smith is readying his latest (and possibly last) Def Jam release with Exit 13. Hip-hop’s ironman has been able to withstand the test of time and fairweather […]

The life of Alonzo Mathis has unfolded for your viewing pleasure. The Atlanta native, who replaced Young Jeezy in the Bad Boy/Block Entertainment supergroup Boyz ‘N Da Hood, showed you he was his own man after showin’ out on songs with Yung Joc and his solo trunk rattler, “Hood N****.” With Welcome to the Zoo peaking in the top […]

Entertainment Weekly recently dubbed the former “Freaks and Geeks” crew the “new kings of comedy” after stellar performances and writing from Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen.

Yes, he’s the cousin of Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, but Tyga has also done the near-impossible – impressed Lil’ Wayne so much that he was almost immediately signed to his Young Money imprint.

N.E.R.D Seeing Sounds Interscope From the jump N.E.R.D’s new CD Seeing Sounds smacks me over the head with nostalgia. The cinematic intro to “Time for Some Action” borrows from the score to the movie “Psycho,” a little trick that Busta Rhymes pulled for the video to “Gimme Some More” almost ten years ago.

Honestly, Lil Wayne probably drops more N-bombs on Tha Carter III and more importantly, this CD is pretty damned good, which makes Nas’ emphasis on the word that more […]

While Nas is shouting N–ger in the streets, The Urban Daily would like to pay tribute to the uniqueness that is Kelis.
