Iamsu! Is Criminally Underrated
You know what was surprising? Not seeing Bay Area rapper Iamsu!'s 2014 album Sincerely Yours getting much love on any year-end lists. It was great, and the HBK Gang founder is terribly underrated, minus how much airplay the Vine sensation "Gas Pedal" got. Anyway, today he put out a new mixtape calle...

Kevin Garnett's return to the Minnesota Timberwolves sounds like a premise for an average sports movie: Old star returns to his first team, gets a middling team into shape, and everyone gets a nice ending.

Travis Kelce Loses Rodeo Dance Contest To Fan Nicknamed "Skim Milk"
Okay, let's get one thing out of the way here: Travis Kelce got jobbed by whoever was responsible for picking his song.
