Twitter Reacts To 2018 Grammy Awards Snubs

Here is the original post:

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Via | HipHopDX It’s that time of year again — the annual  Grammy Award nominations  have been announced ahead of the January 28, 2018 ceremony and several Hip Hop artists earned a nod, including JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar,  Rapsody,  Tyler The Creator, Big Sean and  Logic.  But there were several names noticeably absent from the list and Twitter wasted no time pointing out the snubs. While Drake and Frank Ocean opted not to submit their recent projects for consideration, ( More Life  and  Blonde,  respectively), a few who did are feeling the cold shoulder from the Recording Academy. Recordings released between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017 were eligible for nominations. The Recording Academy received more than 22,000 submissions. Finish this story [ here ]

Inside Nicki Minaj’s V Magazine Spread

As we told you, V Magazine tapped Nicki Minaj for the cover of their January 2011 “Discovery Issue.” In it, the Young Money mistress dons black face paint and pink lipstick for the shoot photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinood Matadin. Besides her standout look, the magazine features Minaj speaking on her infamous alter egos. According to Minaj she lets her “voices speak” and enjoys being a different person when she pleases. “I just always want to do ‘me’, but ‘me’ changes every day…I would crumple up and die if I had to wake up and be the same person every day. I don’t silence those voices anymore. I just let them speak.” Following the shoot, Minaj was obviously pleased with the end results and took to her Twitter page to encourage fans to check out her most “bad a** shoot to date.” Check out the photos from the spread at HipHopWired.com

REVIEW: Michael Douglas’s Solitary Man More Shocking Than Interesting

Public humblings are a risky maneuver, whether engineered by politicians, tycoons, athletes or movie stars: Nothing less than abject vulnerability will do, and the performance will be scrutinized for sincerity with a righteous, collectively hooded eye. You may not have been aware that Michael Douglas was scheduled for a public humbling, and yet every aspect of Solitary Man , a lewdly annotative study of aging male salaciousness, is engineered to tweak our received ideas about its star. Part two of this exercise, Oliver Stone’s sequel to Wall Street , which finds former financial alpha lizard Gordon Gekko freshly released from prison, may have a better shot at tapping those ideas; it at least has more reason to presume they have remained relevant in the public imagination.
