Using rap lyrics as evidence in court is unnecessary if prosecutors have an airtight case,
@cekubrin
explains. It's also a racist tactic that relies on juries and judges completely misunderstanding hip-hop.

I'm the only full-time Editor at The FADER right now, and I receive ~400 pitch emails every day on top of everything else.
I promise I'm getting to whatever you've sent me, I just also need to sleep a bit and take regular breaks to rewatch that Joe Bryan free-kick.

PUP have made one of the most enjoyable punk records of the decade. They were about to play it to a sold-out crowd at a massive venue in Brooklyn.
So, naturally, we talked not only about 'Morbid Stuff,' but also, like, just morbid stuff.

I've written about Christmas music for 25 days straight, and I'm suddenly crippled by the realization that this will all be rendered completely irrelevant first thing tomorrow morning.
Hello my December friends. Today I'm starting The Noisey Advent Calendar. I'm going to write about a different holiday song every day until Christmas. It's very exciting.
Day one is Tom Waits's "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis"

Some people probably assume that The FADER offices are constantly awash with people shouting the word "BEYONCÉ" at random intervals — sometimes in shock, sometimes in admiration, sometimes just for fun.
