At least the photobomber in the back didn't ask Delmarys out to Scarlett's.

Listen up, fellas ... Pick-up lines rarely work. Most of the time, they are lame, cliché, and straight-up ridiculous.

That also means it takes a lot of courage (or several brewskies) to go up to an attractive lady at a bar and ask her if "it hurt when ya fell from heaven." And no, just because she may laugh, it doesn't mean you won her over. She is laughing at you.

To spare you the ridicule, here's a little piece of advice: If you find a woman by the bar, sippin' on a Sam Adams, a simple, "Hey, how are you?" will work a lot better than asking her if she's tired ... 'Cause she's been running through your mind all night.

Here are six of the worst Miami pick-up lines guys, all of which should never ever be used again.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's Baby:
Five Rumored Names!

Kanye_Kim_Rumor_Baby_Names.jpg

Everyone's talking about Kanye West's new album and how awesome it's going to be. Meanwhile, Kim K is getting so plumped up, we know that baby is about to drop.

His new album has a ridiculous name, and it goes without saying that the Louis Vuitton Don will concoct some insane moniker for his wriggling bundle of joy. Inside sources tell gossip rags that Kanye is heading the name-game, and we're not too surprised. Bro has a vision and he doesn't let anyone get in the way of his artistry.

But what will the lil' saggy bb's name be? Here are Crossfade's best guesses.

Ice Cube's Top Six Gangsta Bangers

Ice_Cube_Six_Best_Songs.jpg

These days, the rap game is kind of soft. It's all over-glorified Hokey Pokey dance steps, 808 tics, and bull-shit braggin'. Most of the time, these MCs are just mimicking the gestures of gangsters gone by.

Still, there was a time when rap was real, and Ice Cube is one real motherfucker. He's been around for decades, and it's his shadow that most of these lil' wannabes are walking.

He'll cast that shadow over the crowd at LIV for a special performance on Sunday, June 9. And maybe he'll drop some of these classic trill gangsta hits.

Ten Most Played-Out EDM Songs

Deadmau5 is the only one who should still be playing his old hits.

Some songs just never die.

You could run them into the ground at 100 mph, but they'll be right there around the corner, waiting to be dropped in the very next set you hear. Some of them have been around for decades. And some of them are new, but feel as old and used as a middle-aged whore.

In a world where Daft Punk's "One More Time" never gets old, these jams don't shine with the same color-safe, 30-wash brilliance. Here are Crossfade's ten most played-out EDM songs.

Six Best Moves to Win a Miami Bar Fight!

Beware Teddy Collins and his pool stick.

Bar fights: The result of way too much liquid courage combined with high levels of testosterone. Or, in some cases, cattiness.

They usually happen near the end of the night when someone either gives you the "stank eye" or hits on your man (or woman) right in front of you.

Regardless of the reason, bar fights are never a good idea. Someone always gets hurt. And if you're the chicks who got into an altercation at Radio Bar, you will forever be known as the girls who gave Cat Fight Ladies' Night its name.

Top Five Mom Bands and the Moms Who Love Them

Kat_and_mom_88.jpg
Your fabulous author and her mom circa 1988.

When you think about mom, what do you see? Do you see her lovingly tending to you, sick in bed? Is she secretly buying the toy that she said you couldn't have at the mall? Maybe she's screaming to hurry and get up already or you'll be late for school?

These are the many faces of mom. But mom has interests besides her children, y'know. She's a secret disco dancer. Or maybe a country music-lovin' Southern belle. Or even a tough rocker babe.

Look, we're not just talking out of our asses about your mom. We asked, dammit! And these are the bands moms like!

Baauer: Five Reasons He's No One-Hit Wonder

Baauer_merkin_the_decks.jpg

How many times have you danced "con los terroristas"?

If you're anything like the rest of world it's more times than you can count. Admit it, you were doing the "Harlem Shake" all through March. Even now, Baauer's biggest hit is climbing past 39 million views on YouTube while some people can't let go, continuing to bravely make meme videos, even though the haters might shoot them for it at any moment.

We're sick of hearing about it too. But not because we're sick of Baauer. He's actually an incredibly talented producer and performer. He's got so much more to offer than just "shake, shake, shake." And he definitely ain't no one-hit wonder.

Danny Brown to Rihanna

Danny_Brown_Sex_Stage_Hottest_Moments.jpg
Goddamn, Danny Brown rapping with his dee in someone's mouth! Bossin'.

Everyone loves a good concert, and everyone loves a good porno. So it's only math that everyone loves it twice as much when famous musicians get nasty as fuck in public.

And nothing beats being brought on stage by your favorite performer for a scandalous, titillating, once-in-a-lifetime sexual experience. Even just watching a sexy superstar dry-hump nothing can be one of the hottest things you'll ever see.

So, who are the nastiest freaks in the music world? Some of this may not surprise. Or actually, maybe it will. Either way, you're going to need to close your door and get real acquainted with yourself.

Alright, ravers.

Last time we here at Crossfade ran through our list of the five most annoying buzzwords, reactions were mixed. Some of you thought we were the most evil, hate-mongering, misinformed monsters to ever walk the Earth. Others gave us so many virtual high-fives that our e-hand is still tingly.

There were even who asked, "How come you didn't put ______ on the list?" Well, we're going to buck the haters (it's hella ironic being told to "burn in hell" by someone who thinks they're PLUR) and give it another go.

Are you ready?

Rap's Top Ten Struggle Songs

Rap_Top_Ten_Struggle_Songs.jpg

Hip-hop is the music of the people, and the sound of grumbling bellies sets the beat. In the game of life, it's eat or be eaten, and only the hungriest survive to tell their story.

Songs about struggle are a cornerstone of the genre. Brooding tales of desperation often become heralded classics. Everyone can relate to being down on one's luck, and we all need motivation to get us through.

So when you find yourself down and out, put on one of these jams and remind yourself to get up, get out, and get something.
