In an interview with Idolator, Robin Thicke was asked about the influence of Hip Hop on his new album Sex Therapy.

The short, written and directed by Spike Jonze, walks the fine line between self aggrandizement and self mockery that runs through all of Kanye’s endeavors.

It seems Chris Brown is really taking tasteless to a whole new level as he tries to gain some redemption and relevance by trying to attach himself to the legacy of the Once and Future King of Pop, Michael Joseph Jackson. I’ve said before that it’s too easy and in real bad taste for Brown [...]
