Kanye Vs Taylor Swift

Nah I'm not adding more fuel to the fire, just showing the 2 clips of both celebrities after the VMA's incident. Any opinions?

Kanye is an ASS, Beyonce is CLASS

No this is not my opinion but I thought it would be a great headliner. I found out tonight that Kanye interrupted country girl Taylor Swift's acceptance speech on an award she won. The reason Kanye did it was to show some support for Beyonce which is understandable, but where is the respect for the person who won? Also, Beyonce after winning an award herself let Taylor finish her acceptance speech which was pretty nice of B. Anyways I know there is a lot of backlash going on with this scene that happened, and I wonder what you think. Was Kanye inappropriate, or was what he did blown out of proportion?

The Boy Wonder had a birthday this week, a mixtape drop, and now some more involvement in his General's beef. Today Banks issued is opinion on what he thought about Rick Ross going after Eminem. Honestly we all know this is a bad move by Ross, but could he gain some respect by this? Eh, I don't really care so I will let you decide.

Rick Ross is No Flop by 50 Cent

Yep I said by 50 cent because he said it himself. According to Curtis on an MTV interview, he said you cannot call any #1 album a flop. Has 50 Cent said he lost? Nah, because he also said there are a lot of freak numbers coming out of Def Jam. Could we have a label beef brewing? Interscope/Aftermath vs Def Jam? Probably not, but this softer side of 50 Cent has me confused as heck right now.

Jadakiss has #1 Hiphop/R&B Album

I haven't really been following record sales for a while since most of them are very low. With low record sales musicians and labels have spread the blame back and forth. This week though I wanted to highlight Jadakiss's accomplishment of having the top album in Hip hop with around 135,000 albums sold. Now we all know Jadakiss has been around for years, but what stood out to me in this number was that Jada didn't have a hit record nor did he have a crazy marketing campaign. I did see his album get a few commercials on MTV and a lot of interviews of his online. Has Jadakiss tapped into a new marketing strategy? Did he just get lucky? Or have record labels found out a new way to push there artists. Let me know what you think.
