When they're together, they're a Jay-Z song. When she's by herself, she's an N.W.A. song. GENIUS.

Star Wars Kinect comes out today! In a move that's sure to further desecrate rekindle your love of the franchise, the game lets you play as Star Wars characters clubbing to music that wouldn't sound out of place on an R. Kelly album. Let's hope they let R2D2 dance to dubstep!

Lil Wayne announced today that he'd be taking an indefinite hiatus from rapping to dedicate himself to a pursuit that will (hopefully) give him much less overexposure: skateboarding. Oh yeah, and that thing with the Mars landing happened, too.

I guess Jay-Z wasn't actually rapping about March Madness.

The sublime effect of this pairing is more transcendent without context, but if you REALLY want to know where this picture came from, it was from some event sponsoring a Star Wars-themed Adidas shoe.

All rock fans have now are the Black Keys. And the countless other rock bands that are overlooked by the Top 40 but still produce great music, of course.

FREE VARG.

Oh, he's free already?

Well, uh, uh, I mean ...

FREE VARG.

50 Cent's facial expression and hand gestures is just begging for a "Why can't I hold all these monies?" caption.

Jay-Z is a true American fisher.

If we can play devil's advocate for a moment:

Sugarhill Gang, 1979: "I said a hip, hop, the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop."

Shabazz Palaces, 2011: "Yeah, you know I'm free, s**t, I'm free ... To make consume to catch the stuff that holds me down To capture my desires fashion out of this a crown Free to fill my smiles up with these tears that I forgot And haunt myself besides these pretty ghosts that float my heart You know I'm free."

Comedy rappers Emmanuel and Phillip Hudson do a spot-on impression of a squabbling couple.

We can't be sure that Busta Rhymes' fast rapping ability on "Look at Me Now' is the result of talent or of a tic developed from minor head trauma.
