O.N.I.F.C ★ WIZ KHALIFA ★ New Music ★ ALBUM REVIEW ★ Hip Hop / Rap
Atlantic Records artist Wiz Khalifa, fresh off of the success of his 2012 collaboration with Maroon 5 on "Payphone," Wiz Khalifa has released a new album O.N.I.C.F. that debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 2.
Wiz Khalifa's recently released album O.N.I.F.C. (Deluxe Version) has 22 tracks and features artists 2 Chainz, Akon, Berner, The Weeknd and Juicy J. Wiz Khalifa has the power to bring together a versatile album that stays true to his hip hop roots and his signature at ease rap sound. The album debuted at number two and if not for the record breaking success of Taylor Swift's Red, it is likely O.N.I.F.C would have most assuredly come out on top in the NO. 1 slot of the Billboard charts. O.N.I.F.C. currently sits at No. 36 of the Billboards 200, No. 4 on the Rap Albums chart and No. 6 on the R&B/Hip Hop albums chart. Read More...

Weekend 100 Countdown: Week of Sept. 22nd 2012
September/15/2012 09:06 AM
Saturdays are a great day for a little satire to lighten up the mood and for catching up with the music countdown. We’ve translated the Billboard’s Top 100 song titles into a list of “Things a Girl Would Never Say” for your entertainment.
Song titles are in bold starting from #100 counting down to #1…enjoy!
Life of a Rock Star™ presents “Things a Girl Would Never Say”
I woke up this morning remembering last night I promised to Dance For You right after I heard you telling your friend how you love Snap Backs & Tattoos way more than me. I wish the sun was never Shinin’ On Me and that you had fed me more cocktails the size of Swimming Pools (Drank).
I realize you’ve been cheating on me, but No Worries -- Nobody’s Perfect! I learned a long time ago that Promises are an ocean that nobody should Dive In; it’s a pointless mission Chasing The Sun. And while I don’t judge the Madness nor do I Put It Down, I’ld rather you run free like The Wind. Read More...
