Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!
Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.
Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.
It’s that time again! That Grape Juice wants to see what you all are listening to. Which 5 tracks have you got on constant rotation at the moment?
Remember, it doesn’t have to be limited to Urban music; could be something new, Throwback, religious, even something you made yourself! Drop a comment in the comments section. Ours are below – in no particular order:
It’s official…there’s nothing Lady Gaga cannot do.
Already boasting a slew of music honors over her short, yet illustrious career, now the pop diva can add a new prize to her ever full trophy collection: Golden Globe.
Nabbing “Best performance by an actress in a leading role in a series, limited series or motion picture made for television for her work on ‘American Horror Story,’ the talented songstress bested fellow Grammy winner Queen Latifah, Kirsten Dunst, and others to tearfully accept the award.
Funnyman Ricky Gervais reprised his role of host tonight at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards.
Honoring the year’s best and brightest film and television stars, tuck in below to find out who walked away with the coveted trophies from tonight’s showing at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
Keep refreshing as we’ll be continuously updating!
Black Hollywood showed up and out on the red carpet of the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards, which aired live tonight on NBC.
Hosted by the ever controversial comedian Ricky Gervais, the ceremony courted the best and brightest of TV and film to honor with its coveted trophies. Often looked at as the “must-see” precursor to the Academy Awards, keep it locked on That Grape Juice to see who won in each of showing’s envied categories.
For now, tuck in below and tell us who won…on the red carpet!
‘Feelin’ Myself’ maestra Nicki Minaj was feeling shady on social media earlier today when she went head-to-head in a Twitter tussle with ‘Teen Mom OG’ star
Criticizing the reality starlet’s relationship with her mother on the show, the rapstress ignited a firestorm of retweets until the line caught Abraham’s attention.
Needless to say, Nick’s comments weren’t exactly taken in stride.
Lady Gaga continues to do-away with the wacky ensembles and is instead embracing the more demure.
Mother Monster arrived at the Golden Globes 2016 moments ago with actor fiance Taylor Kinney and the pair served all sorts of vintage Hollywood.
The singer is up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television (a mouthful we know) for her role in ‘American Horror Story: Hotel.’
Time (a very short amount at that) will tell if she scoops the honor.
For now, though, check out more pics of the ‘Applause’ belter below…
Pop minx Katy Perry has made her mark in the music arena, but today showed up and showed out at the Golden Globes 2016.
Joining a number of artists at the 73rd annual extravaganza (including Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga), Perry dazzled in playful pink as she arrived on the renown red carpet.
The appearance at the Ricky Gervais hosted special is one of few the ‘Dark Horse’ belter has made since rocking the Super Bowl last year. Could a new album be nigh? Watch this space.
Pending a definitive answer, more snaps await after the jump…
In what is becoming red carpet tradition, Jennifer Lopez arrived at the 73rd Annual Golden Globes looking hot tamale.
The singer/actress turned heads as she posed it up with choreographer beau Casper Smart at pre-commencement of the ceremony which takes place at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

This week’s From The Vault selection comes courtesy of Cassie and her infamous 106 & Park performance of single ‘Me & U.’
Extracted from her eponymous first album, “Me & U’ was the model’s debut effort. Released in 2005, the Ryan Leslie production was a sleeper-hit peaking at #3 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Hip-Hop/R&B charts in the US in 2006. It hit #6 in the United Kingdom the following year.
Beyond club play, it was the track’s high-octane video (which drew comparisons to Janet Jackson’s ‘Pleasure Principle’) that catapulted the release to the upper echelon of the charts.
Yet, could Cassie replicate the fierceness on-stage?
Unfortunately for the Bad Boy belle, the answer was an emphatic, embarrassing, and resounding “NO!”
Taking to the stage of BET’s then-flagship show, the beauty gave the ugliest of performances – characterized and immortalized by stiff, lazy, and laxed stage presence and vocals that just did not show up. Many wondered if she was asleep.
From the attempted acapella intro to the look of “even I know this is a mess” plastered on her pretty face , it was all a dismal disaster and ultimately spelled the end of whatever quest she had to be taken seriously. Her music career, as the last decade has shown, has never quite recovered.
It’s just her luck that this has happened back in 2006, because in the current viral age (see: Instagram, Facebook, memes and the like) her career in the broader sense (modelling included) is unlikely to have recovered.
Still, by way of her relationship with Diddy and a number of fashion focussed campaigns, she remains one of the most desirable ladies in the spotlight. Not a bad consolation prize.
