Last week we questioned the grip of Will.i.am's influence on the mainstream, with his solo effort, #willpower, moving less than 30k opening week. We could also blame this on the ever-waning sales of albums in general. This week, we get LL Cool J's Authentic album as a new entry in Charts Don't Lie. The old school rapper only moved around 13k, and so we gotta ask, what factors played into his...

Even the grittiest of gangster rappers have their mothers to thank for much of their success, and they don't always get the credit or respect they deserve. As such, and in celebration of Mother's Day, we've compiled a gallery of 25 photos of emcees with their moms, from Tupac Shakur to Kanye West. Even if you won't be seeing your mother today, make sure you let her know what she means to you,...

Each year ballers straight out of college, and from overseas hope to hear their name called on NBA Draft night. But being selected is only the first step to making a name for yourself in the league. There's no telling who will be the cream of the crop from each draft class. The first pick can end up being a bust, while a player who went undrafted can end up becoming a big player. We've compiled...

10 Most Exciting Non-Dunkers In The NBA

May 10, 2013 | 6,406 Views

Alley-oops and facials in the paint dominate the average highlight reel. When you think of the best dunkers in the league, players like LeBron and Blake Griffin come to mind. But what about the guys who will kill their man with a crossover and then finish strong at the basket not with a dunk but with a floater, finger roll, dope assist, or a hanging reverse lay in? Non This list is the about the...

Rihanna Looking Hot Courtside

May 10, 2013 | 4,468 Views

Closely linked and even rumored to have been in a relationship with Knicks' super-sub, J.R. Smith, Rihanna isn't only a Knicks fan, she also supports New York's other squad, the Brooklyn Nets (recently she even donned a LeBron jersey at a Heat game so it's fair to assume Ri Ri doesn't have any strong NBA allegiances.) Rihanna was on hand for the Nets' Game 7 matchup, as they hosted the Chicago...

Each year, 29 teams fall short of the ultimate goal of an NBA championship. Fans of the franchises that come up short can take solace in their team's performance if they exceed expectations or if a player has a breakout year. Sometimes, however, there is little to be excited about, as is the case with the unfortunate teams that made this list. Let's take a look at the most disappointing...

David Jones, aka Jetpack Jones, is a rising 22-year-old emcee from Lakewood, California. In a rap game rife with superficiality, substance abuse and greed, he's bringing something much more positive and laid back to the table. He leads the Jetpack Movement, a "collective of individuals all striving to be the best version of themselves possible, not a second rate version of someone else." They...

The new entries keep coming in on Charts Don't Lie. Recent weeks have seen quite a few releases that are within the hip-hop realm, as is often the case, because rappers like to release projects on the same day. This week, however, the new-comers to the charts don't come in as strong as you might think. Pop-friendly rapper Will.i.am moved under 30k for opening week with his solo album #willpower....

There's quite a bit of repetition in the game these days, and specific lyrics tend to get overlooked. This is an opportunity to take a closer listen and really consider what these artists have to say. We encourage your opinions. Keep in mind, these are the most noteworthy lyrics of the week, not necessarily the best. Also, it's hard to get everything right - if you notice any errors, don't...
