BET Lifts Ban on Killer Mike’s "Burn" Video
‘BET always listens to its audience,†a rep for the station told XXLMag.com.â€Thanks to the power of Twitter, BET has reassessed Killer Mike’s ‘Burn’ video and has decided to accept the video for BET Networks.

Beyoncé Covers Complex’s August/September 2011 Issue
Beyonce hits the cover of the August/September issue of Complex. The issue doesn’t hit newsstands until August 9th, but below is an excerpt from the cover story speaking on the album.
“Figuring out a way to get R&B back on the radio is challenging,†she explains. “Everything sounds the same on the radio. With 4 I tried to mix R&B from the ’70s and the ’90s with rock ‘n’ roll and a lot of horns to create something new and exciting. I wanted musical changes, bridges, vibrata, live instrumentation, and classic songwriting.â€
