Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize



*Congratulations to President Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize award. Some say it has come to early and question his achievements. I feel it was inevitable that he would get this award and I also agree with some optimists who stress that he strives to change the face of the U.S. He is effortlessly the most inspirational politician worldwide in a longtime, the man has a tough job and am sure he will make history, wait a second...he already has....*


"The announcement drew gasps of surprise and cries of too much, too soon. Yet President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday because the judges found his promise of disarmament and diplomacy too good to ignore.

The five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee — four of whom spoke to The Associated Press, said awarding Obama the peace prize could be seen as an early vote of confidence intended to build global support for the policies of his young administration.

They lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen its role in combating climate change.

"Some people say — and I understand it — 'Isn't it premature? Too early?' Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now," Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told the AP. "It is now that we have the opportunity to respond — all of us."

MTV's Hottest MCs In The Game











Ok so the top ten hottest MC's were announced last week and we got the full table this weekend. I think the list is quite concise, however I do question Gucci Mane's number as being one of the hottest and also the fact that Jadakiss did not make the list but Raekwon did.

Thats not to take anything away from Gucci or Raekwon because they bith put in work their craft. In my opinion this year the top 5 Hiphop Albums are

Blueprint 3
Deeper Than Rap
Loso's Way
The Last Kiss
Only Built For Cuban Linx 2

Another question people were askin was why Eminem was not mentioned in the top 10 'hottest MC's' This was their statement...I f I may say so, this is a valid argument.

*His hotly anticipated return to hip-hop after a long absence drove first-week sales of over 600,000 — the highest first-week sales of the year so far. But then Em retreated to the lab, where he spent the summer crafting Relapse 2. From June to September, Em all but took himself out of the public eye, while other MCs generated week-to-week heat with mixtapes, guest appearances, performances and Web activity. Eminem is one of the best ever on the mic. His track record is undeniable. The Hottest list deals with right now, though. If the Brain Trust had compiled the Hottest list back in May, there’s no doubt Eminem would have made the Top 10.*

So as clearly stated the Top Ten is

1 Jay-Z
2 Lil Wayne
3 Drake
4 Kanye West
5 Rick Ross
6 Gucci Mane
7 Young Jeezy
8 Fabolous
9 50 Cent
10 Raekwon

Jay-Z on The Oprah Winfrey Show


height="444">

height="344">







Ok Jay-Z continues to set the benchmark for hiphop, more number 1's than Elvis, thanks to BP3, Multi- Million going a billion conglomerate, now he meets another juggernaut in media and business Oprah, yes Oprah Winfrey ( the woman that does not like hip-hop) this interview is good because you see two different generations that manage to inspire people through their success, this is good for hiphop and also for black culture...kudos to both of them being an inspiration to me and a lot of other people...

p.s I know am late with this one, but internet was down

Nicki Minaj Photo Shoot





After making some noise on Wayne’s I Am Music tour with the rest of his Young Money crew, the former MySpace/mixtape mistress is ready for her major label debut. And we’re amped like an electric guitar. Honey’s favorite Harajuku Barbie stepped away from the studio to play dress up (or dress down), snap a few flicks, and rap about her upcoming album. Just call us wine enthusiasts.



I first heard this chick on a track off a mixtape with Jadakiss, she held her own, now she is officialy down with Lil Wayne's Young Money, lets see if a female rapper can still be successful in this climate, she reminds me of a young Foxy Brown plus she is hot so lets see!!!
