Nicki Minaj Feat. Nas, Drake, & Young Jeezy - Champion

Nicki Minaj drops the song "Champion" with a line up that is any main streams teen's wet dream.  The beat to this song is pretty good, and the hook isn't bad either. Usually not a fan of Nicki but overall with these features I think this song is pretty sick. Definitely worth a listen.

Dj Khaled feat. Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne

This song is just set up to be popular as hell, it's got a cast that every mainstream teen will love. It's an okay song I guess, personally I thought it could have been a lot better. I expected a lot more from all these people. I found the hook to be pretty boring, and every verse was pretty average. Honestly it's going to be so damn popular though just because of who is in it. I'd recommend you to listen to it because it's radio bound.

New School Rappers at the Grammys

As everyone in the entire universe knows, the Grammys were last night. Many new school rappers and hip hop artists were nominated or performed. Kanye West came away the most successful, pulling in awards for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song for "All of the Lights", which also gave Kid Cudi two Grammy's. West also won Best Rap Album for "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". Unfortunately, he didn't interrupt anybodies speech this year. There were no other victories for new school artists, although there were a plethora of nominations, including 3 for Nicki Minaj, 3 for Lupe Fiasco, and 1 for Drake, Wiz Khalifa, and J. Cole.

In another Grammy related story, J. Cole and Lupe Fiasco both took their mothers with them to the red carpet. Personally, I think that's awesome. Mom, if you're reading this, if I ever go to a red carpet, you're coming with me. This gave me a lot more respect for both of these artists. Classy move.
