NICKI MINAJ – She’s doing the creep! SNL was never so good, and that’s a FACT!

Even though this has been news since Saturday, I decided to talk about it when I noticed that I had The Creep song attached to a part of my brain! 

For those of you who don’t know, SNL (Saturday Night Live) is a show that’s been on the air for decades and they usually do sketches where they mock of everything and they always have a special guest and a featuring artist. Last Saturday, it was the time for Jesse Eisenberg (the guy who played Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, on The Social Network) and Nicki Minaj! Let’s just say… it was a GOOOD episode!

If you didn’t had the chance to see it, well here are some of our favorite scenes from last Saturday SNL! Enjoy!

Didn’t you love Jesse’s reaction when he saw Mark? LoL! And how about The Creep? Do you think that Nicki Minaj’s feature was a good decision?

NICKI MINAJ – Minaj and RiRi ready to fly together!

Nicki Minaj is enjoying success with her album Pink Friday, which just recently received the platinum certification, that’s a million copies right there, so congrats to her! 

Confirmed by Rihanna’s and Nicki’s twitter accounts, they are both shooting a video for Nicki’s song Fly which has RiRi as featuring artist. We love this song and the positive message that it sends so that was a great choice (If she could only release Roman’s Revenge… nah, it could cause too much drama).

While we wait for the video, here’s the song Fly (ft. Rihanna)…

ONEREPUBLIC – For God’s sake, who doesn’t love secrets?

Self proclaimed genreless American band OneRepublic has been out there for quite a few years now, sharing with us songs that are beyond amazing. Lately we’ve been kind of obsessed with their latest album Waking Up which has some gems in there like All The Right Moves, Marchin On and (our currently obsession) Secrets.

As some of the current big artists (Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj…) OneRepublic became successful thanks to some small thing called MySpace, maybe you’ve heard of it, but the real surprise came when they jumped into the mainstream with their unbelievable successful hit song Apologize from their first album Dreaming Out Loud.

I’ve to say that we’re currently waiting (our nerves are making us crazy) for their new album which according to guitarist of the band Zach Filkins, they are ready for another album.

Meanwhile, we have the official videos for some of our most played songs from OneRepublic. Enjoy:

BEST OF 2010: Rihanna

This 2010 was one hell of a year for 22 year old Barbadian singer Rihanna, and I mean that in a good way, I’m sorry, a GREAT way. At the beginning of the year, she wasn’t doing so well with her Rated R album, even though in my humble opinion she had some amazing tracks on it, but then everything changed. I truly love her record label choices as far as which were her singles, I was in love with Hard, Te Amo and Rude Boy, I will also have liked if they’ve decided to release The Last Song but I guess there would’ve been some controversy with all that Chris Brown thing (but that’s in the past now, right?). But Rihanna is just… Rihanna, and with drama and all she managed to reach some outstanding numbers on her CD sales.

However, even though some of us thought that her year couldn’t get any better, she surprised us once again and released her incredibly-obsessive-major-hit Only Girl In The World as a little taste of what her album Loud would bring us. As always, she didn’t disappoint us. On November of this year, we finally managed to hear all the tracks that Loud contained and we fell in love with it! Actually S&M, What’s My Name and Man Down (among others) are some of the songs on my most plays list. From Loud, so far we know Only Girl In The World and What’s My Name (ft. Drake) are singles, and we really hope that her collaboration with Nicki Minaj Raining Man gets to be an official single!!!

Congratulations to Rihanna and we really hope that 2011 brings her even more money good music!

Here are some of our favorite vids from Rihanna’s year:

T.I. – When pop and hip-hop collide

It’s been a while since we’ve heard a major hit from hip-hop rapper T.I., I mean, his duets with Rihanna (Live Your Life) and Justin Timberlake (Dead And Gone) were good but it’s been two years from the most recent one and I've really wanted to hear some good music collaborations recently. Of course Kanye West, Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj had made my wish come true, but I’ve also have some love for pop singer diva Christina Aguilera (some may say: So what? But I have a point I swear!) who just recently did a duet with T.I. (see, I told ya!). This incredible collaboration is called Castle Walls and as always, it makes Aguilera’s voice stand out quite good.

About  T.I., he’s relased recently his seventh album No Mercy which is in stores since December 7th, and I still haven't heard the whole album but I really hope it has some good tracks because let’s say that T.I. has not been on my recent playlists. Up to now, we only have the song, but let’s cross our fingers in the hope that his record label releases a video that does justice for Castle Walls, which will be his second single (smart choice, since it would redeem Aguilera’s career and it would be a great hit for T.I.). Here’s the song:

KANYE WEST - Monster's here!!! Nicki Minaj!! F*ck it looks good!!

Monster is the third single of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which is an amazing album that has helped me forgetting all that bad press that he received after his "Taylor Swift" incident.  Actually, I don't own this album, but when I first heard Monster and Runaway I got the hitch of buying the album, but now that I've seen the oficial video I've totaly made up my mind and I'm buying it ASAP!


In Monster, we can hear amazing rapper Jay-Z, hip-hop diva Nicki Minaj, some other dudes that I've never heard before (Rick Ross, Bon Iver) and, of course, talented Kanye West. The video reminds me a bit of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga but it's more of a gone-wild version, and the song is just amazing. Best part honestly is Nicki Minaj's in the song and as well on the video. Check it out HERE!!!

ROBIN THICKE – Seems Nicki Minaj is shakin’ it for daddy

Usually when I write about something I do a bit of research beforehand, but this time I have to say I know ANYTHING of Robin Thicke, the only thing that’s on my mind about him is that he’s a smart man by choosing to do a duet with hip-hop diva Nicki Minaj, that’s on his latest album Sex Therapy.

I know it’s been a while since this happen, but other Minaj fans (Barbies and Kens according to her) and me are still waiting for an official video for this incredible song. It’s called Shakin’ It For Daddy and even though it is a song by Robin Thicke, it only makes Nicki Minaj shine (seriously), she gets to show her hip-hop abilities that have gotten her so far. As usual, there’s nothing amazing about what she says, but the way she says it is what makes her a good rapper.

As I said, there’s no official video for Shakin It For Daddy (ft. Nicki Minaj) but we do have TV appearances, so here they are, Robin Thicke and Nicki on the Letterman Show

NICKI MINAJ - Is who you ain't f*cking with!

Now, it's been a while since this young lady jumped into the mainstream, but just last November she finally dropped her (anticipated) debut album called "Pink Friday". I think it's important for me to mention that Hip-Hop music is not so popular in my iPod, but Nicki Minaj has made me change that decision.

Minaj is bringing her best guns with her, she's full of theatricality, she's full of good rhymes and she has a great... voice. Just imagine that some critics had compared her to a black Lady Gaga, which she didn't find ofensive considering the epicness of that comparition ( I mean, Gaga! ). So, I truly suggest you to check her material and believe you won't be dissapointed at all!

Here is one of the singles from Pink Friday, it's called "Check It Out" and you can see frontman of the Black Eyed Peas, Will-I-Am in the track as well...

Check It Out (ft. Will-I-Am) - Nicki Minaj

And here is one of my FAVORITE tracks of her album, it's "Roman's Revenge" and well, the thing is that Nicki creates a lot of alter egos to her persona and it seems that Roman Zolanski is one of those. This track is dedicated to all the hatters and we can hear a featuring from Eminem. If it wasn't full of curse words, I think we could definitely hear it on the radio. Check it out!
