The artist that would come to be known as Drake actually got his start on the Canadian teen serial Degrassi: The Next Generation (thank you Wikipedia), and has since then established himself as a formidable hip-hop/R&B talent in a crowded sea of other talented hip-hop/R&B artists. “Forever, ” successfully combines staccato orchestra hits, huge beats and a weird siren noise, along with Drake’s diverse vocal range, which goes from melodic during the refrain to a style in the verses that sounds like P. Diddy finally learning how to rap properly. With guest appearances by Lil’ Wayne and Eminem, and that cocky opening line of, “Last name Ever, first name Greatest, ” it’s difficult to stop listening. Furthermore, any song that can be performed at the Grammy Awards, suffer from CBS’ ever-present censor, and STILL come off as one of the standout performances of the evening, has to be doing something right.
i remember making collages in primary school but from memory none of them looked anything like these; mine were far more reminiscent of an spotty teenagers first porn magazine where as these actually work. though it’s an american mag anybody who’s ever been in a bus terminal or airport will have seen Esquire on some shelf in WH Smiths.
the way Anastacia Omelyanenko has taken these Esquire covers and deconstructed them, to create some sort of mash up is definitely interesting & the Ron Jeremy mash up after the click makes him look. . . 6 feet. . . tall.

This is an addition to Eminem’s Relapse album. A dedicated fan of Eminem said the following about this album : “1st off I think he should have released this as an EP as well with just the new songs since many people already have relapse and it would be dumb to buy it again. All of these songs are much, much better than almost all the songs on relapse, and sound like a mix of relapse and eminem show, and don’t use the accent (almost).”
Lil Wayne created one of the greatest rap albums of 2008 and is one of the biggest names in hip-hop and rap. Just two years later, he has left many thinking, “What happened?”
With his 7th album Rebirth he went for a new feel–which is horrible. The rap/rock songs of Rebirth leave me wondering what happened to him since 2008 when he released the amazing Tha Carter III.
His career is slowly spiraling down with the release of this album, and when he gets out of jail, many may choose not to remember him. A year is a long time to be away from the game, and this album may be his downfall.
Wayne’s voice is way wrong for the metal/rock beats he uses, and auto tune does not cover up what seems to be some sort of shrieking. Appearances by Eminem and Nicki Minaj, both sticking to their roots and rapping on the album, remain the best features.
Wayne, you need to either rap or hang up your dreads, because this album doesn’t even deserve 1 out of 5 stars.

Lil Wayne’s rock album is garbage. Complete and utter garbage. Just like everything he releases. Back to Rebirth though.
I heard his idea of a rock/rap album and I hated the idea especially from him. Then I heard Prom Queen and I was REALLY against the idea. And then the album leaked….and guess what?
It was terrible.
The bright parts of the album were few and far between. It was hard to listen to parts of the album because you couldn’t even understand him. Weezy once called himself “The Greatest Rapper Alive” and begged for Eminem on a song.
This is one of the bright parts of the album…….Eminem actually on a song with Weezy. Someone should of warned Wayne that Eminem has been known to go on someone else’s song and blow the other person away. Needless to say that is exactly what happened.
Not to cut Lil Wayne short, his first verse was poetry. Second verse was ehh okay. But the “Greatest rapper alive” Couldn’t hang with the Greatest rapper of all time.
Lil Wayne’s album was a piece of crap. He is terrible.
For those of you that don’t know… Eminem’s lil bro, Nate is a rapper. He goes by the name Nate Kane and already has quite the reputation as a lil bad ass.
His single “Short Term Love”

Buster: PS, one time I got really drunk and threw up all over his kitchen.
Lil Wayne, one of my favourite MCs of all time pleaded guilty to felony gun possession in a Manhattan, NY courtroom in October, following July 2007 arrest following his first headlining concert in New York.
On tuesday he will report to authorites to begin his 12-month prison sentence for felony gun possession. Wayne’s Rebirth LP just came out last week and has received good reviews.
I can’t wait to get my hands on this rock influenced album.
The anticipated video for the first single “Drop The World” featuring Eminem drops this week. I have already heard the single and I must say, it is phenominal with heavy guitar riffs on it. Eminem does his usually job of being better than the artist on whose track he is featuring on.
Star Magazine’s February 15th issue features an interesting story about Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp getting close on the set of their new film. Also featured: Eminem and Kim back together, and Reese hooking up with Gerard Butler?
So last night (January 31st, 2010), 25.8 Million viewers tuned in to catch the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Unfortunately I wasn’t one of them SO I won’t bore you with the frivolous details… However, what you should know is that Beyonce came through and CRUSHED the building by winning a female record 0f 6 Grammy Awards on the night… The Foreign Exchange should have WON that Urban/Alternative Grammy award instead of India.Arie… What was Flo Rida’s R.O.O.T.S doing in the Best Rap Album category?.. & While we’re on Rap (Hip-Hop), big homie Jay-Z went home with 3 Grammies (hi haters)… The year’s Best Gospel Song – Mary Mary’s ‘God in Me’ is such a banging tune, I’m glad it won an award… I was also glad to see that Michael J. Fox won the Best Spoken Word Album award for ‘Always Looking Up’, the album was inspirational as well as humorous… Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ for Album of the Year though? I’m NOT quite sure I can ever understand the reasoning behind this, EVER… & How comes I haven’t heard of this year’s Best New Artiste, Zac Brown Band, atleast I know who the other nominees are?!?!
I dunno about the Grammys these days to be honest BUT who am I to judge or even complain! It still is the BIGGEST night of Music every year and the awards are still the most important in Music so I really should stop hating and just get with the program, shouldn’t I? Well if they stopped making S**T decisions, it’d be so much easier though, wouldn’t it? & they need to start giving more TV time to the Hip-Hop awards (I dunno why they still call it Rap? Or is it just me?)
Let’s get right into what would have been my favorite parts of the Grammy Awards… After the Jump, shall we?
Check out the list of (Relevant to #OffBeat) Winners right after the JUMP…
Album of the Year: Taylor Swift – ‘Fearless’
Record of the Year: Kings of Leon – ‘Use Somebody’
