After an impressive video tribute looking back on a career that has seen him work with John Lennon Bruce Springsteen Dr Dre Eminem and Lady Gaga to name a few Jimmy Iovine joked "Oh that thing gives me a headache" The producer and executive was honored at LA's Village Studios last...

Nashville's Wick-It The Instigator released his mashed rendition of Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E" and 2Pac's "California Love" yesterday, and we had to share it. Wick-It has proven himself as an innovative producer throughout the past few years (since 2004, specifically), providing the music scene with stellar mash-ups and remixes. Wick-it's roots stem from hip-hop and turntablism, but [...]

A lot has happened in the world of Hip Hop since the last Missy Elliott album: Dr Dre was going to release ‘Detox’ then he didn’t, Eminem had a ‘Relapse’ and forgot how to rap, then he had a ‘Recovery’ and remembered again, Snoop Dogg got banned from the UK, then we let him back in again, Mos Def turned his hand to acting, changed his name to Yasiin Bey, then reformed Black Star with Talib Kweli, Oukast didn’t split up but they kind of have really, and the new king of controversy is the skateboarding Odd Future ...

copernicus epictetus thucydides knight rook i really like some of these more recent ones.. little glitchy drums against the strings are kinda cool. can we combine Radiohead and Dr. Dre somehow? hmm.. i'm also getting better at making smoother loops, which is cool. it doesn't make it any faster or easier, but the final result is nicer.

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards are almost upon us! Hey, we'd love to help you with your office pools and living room side-bets with some sure-thing Vegas-ready odds. However, we always seem to be dead wrong (fucking Esperanza Spalding). So here are some completely arbitrary, critical decisions on who should win the nine biggest categories, just in case you want to know who we're rooting for on the SPIN couch. Everything You Need to Know About the 54th Grammy Awards Nominations Record of the Year Adele - "Rolling in the Deep" Bon Iver - "Holocene" Bruno Mars - "Grenade" Mumford & Sons - "The Cave" Katy Perry - "Firework" Who Should Win: Adele Why: This one goes to the producers, engineers, and performer for making the total pop package. Bon Iver and Mumford are a little to insular, Bruno and Katy a little too eager. Adele somehow lives right in between, both muted and bombastic, rockist-pleasing "authentic" and poptimist-pleasing immediate. It’s the "Heart Shaped Box" of a new generation. We had it all! Album of the Year Adele - 21 Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Lady Gaga - Born This Way Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans Rihanna - Loud Who Should Win: Lady Gaga Why: It did rank the highest of these five albums on our Top 50 Albums of 2011 list , and we can’t exactly give the award to Fucked Up, can we? Writes our own Mikael Wood: "Beneath the hair and makeup and arena-razing disco-metal grooves, Born This Way delivers a message that old glamazon Pete Seeger could dig: She thinks pop can still move policy, and she might be right." Song of the Year Kanye West - “All of the Lights” (songwriters: Kanye West, Jeff Bhasker, Really Doe, & Malik Yusef) Mumford & Sons - “The Cave” (songwriters: Ted Dwane, Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford & Country Winston) Bruno Mars - “Grenade” (songwriters: Brody Brown, Claude Kelly, The Smeezingtons & Andrew Wyatt) Bon Iver - “Holocene” (songwriter: Justin Vernon) Adele - "Rolling in the Deep" (songwriters: Adele & Paul Epworth) Who Should Win: Adele Why: This one goes to the songwriter, and naturally we'd want to give it to the co-writer of our No. 1 single of 2011 , a blown-out blowback of relationship bluster and that high D that can drown out car alarms. Best New Artist The Band Perry Bon Iver J. Cole Nicki Minaj Skrillex Who Should Win: Skrillex Why: Before you Bon Iver fans tear us limb from limb in the comments section, let us clarify. Although we clearly love Bon Iver's extra-naked, sensitive, '80s AM gold take on folk rock, our guyliner-and-glasses pal is essentially helping reinvent a new musical language of bowel-busting bass and whirring industrial noise. Bon Iver's forbear Bruce Hornsby already won this very award in 1987, while an electronic artist has never taken one home. Let's hear it for drawing new blood. Best Rock Album Jeff Beck - Rock ‘n’ Roll Party (Honoring Les Paul) Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown Red Hot Chili Peppers - I’m With You Wilco - The Whole Love Who Should Win: Foo Fighters Why: Because exactly one album on this list actually "rocks." Best R&B; Album ...

Grammy Week was in full swing as music’s brightest stars came out to honor Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards Producers & Engineers Wing event at the Village in Los Angeles.

cntrlf – Light My Fire, Burnin’ It Up [mp3] Shirley Bassey VS Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg cntrlf is our mate Rolf Schraa

ps “i wish i was back up in that ass” (LOL) a letter from dr dre to his (now) wife in 95 before shooting the video to ‘california love’ after seeing burning man for the first time. Hilarious! Ps Wick-it getting really strong with his float of remixes in the recent year.

One of the South's original sonic architects says he is "proud" of Big K.R.I.T., confused by Cash Money's newest signee, thankful to Kanye and humbled by Dr. Dre.

Wick-it The Instigator brings his Southern thunder from Nashville to the West coast with this awesome moombahton remix of Dr. Dre. The hard hitting kicks, tasteful samples, and groovin’ vibe will get you boogie-ing into the weekend. Check out more of Wick-it’s eclectic catalog on his SoundCloud.   Tōks

Wick-it's already proved himself in the mashups and dubstep, but now he brings us a Dr. Dre Moombahton remix. "Still California" pits two Dre classics together, "Still Dre" & "California Love," for bouncy, electro-bass ride. This is what I love about Wick-it, he isn't scared to switch up his forte.
