Run DMC’s Christmas in Hollis is one of the best holiday songs – otherwise it wouldn’t have made it onto our Ultimate Christmas Playlist. So, what could possibly make this legendary track any better? How about listening to it while scoping out the lyrics on your iPhone complete with emoticons. This definitely give the “Notorious Siri” video a run for its gift card. I smell a rap battle, y’all. Watch the vid then vote in our poll after the jump.

The unfortunate death of Steve Jobs revealed some interesting information that a lot of people might not have known, like the fact that he was adopted.

So today I bring to you, some of my favorite modern Christmas tunes. Enjoy!!

Remakes are bogus. Nine times out of ten, if word gets out that a classic song is being remade, my eyes roll because I can already chalk it up as being a gigantic letdown. But that’s not always the case. In fact, there are times when the remake can outshine the original. With that in mind, here are five classic songs that only got that distinction after getting a makeover.
