During American Idol, Fox has shown commercials for the new “Beats Pill” featuring Nicki Minaj and comedian DeRay. It’s a cute commercial that focuses on the Beats Pill’s sound capability by morphing it into Nicki’s loud mouth girlfriend.
But Radio Shack has a different ad for the newest addition to the Beats by Dr. Dre family. Radio Shack is attempting to bring sexy back to its brand, and by that we mean revive the brand by attracting to a younger crowd that have no nostalgic ties to the store. In their ad, Robin Thicke is getting his sexy on with a group of scantily clad ladies with a Beats Pill between them all …even on a hot dog bun? (more…)

He said he was not trying to get us to forget about slavery, but take the yolk off our necks, both black and red, that binds us all to the tragedy of slavery. (more…)

The Wu-Tang Clan is back, baby! But the long awaited return to the stage will not hit U.S. stages first. They have assembled all members for a two-day UK concert and a new album which hopefully means a U.S. tour will be next on their agenda. (more…)
