Since 1992, Snoop has sold 30 million records. Wow. What you might not know is that aside from being one of the most charismatic rappers in the last 20 years, Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus has an ultra-unique sense of style. From his own clothing line to his own cognac, he brings a special sort of class to everything he does, even his hair.

It’s been a long time since Green Day’s 2005 album, American Idiot. After the 5 year wait the guys have released their new album, 21st Century Breakdown. Even though American Idiot sold millions of copies and took home loads of awards, the band’s strength is in its top rate live act. Live Nation and Nexopia wanted you to experience it!

Based on the theme "Silence is the enemy. Know your enemy." we got to wondering what the enemies of Nexusers would be. To enter this contest, we wanted to know what -- not who -- your enemy was. We’re looking for a thing -- not a person. Winners walked away with a pair of tickets to Green Day's local show, and one grand prize winner scored a signed copy of the ultra-rare deluxe boxed set of Ghost I-IV.

We're sure you've noticed the spam that's getting around the site. If you haven't, here's the scoop. Spammers have been using users' accounts to send out all sorts of ads. They're the ones that say something like "You won an iPod" or "See who has a crush on you".

Want to get rid of them as much as we do? You can help. In your preferences, change your password. Change it to something secure, with both numbers and letters. If you have a current password like: password, 123456, or your user name, you're more likely to have it stolen. If you get one of these comments, just delete it. The account owner probably didn't know their account was being used, so tell them to change their password. If we all make spamming harder to do, there's a chance they'll give it up. Thanks for your help guys!
