Would ask for your opinion but moretime people don't comment on blogs unless it one of the big ones

So, let the critiquing begin..... now!!!

Right, first things first, Lady Gaga?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Get the mess outta here right this very precise second. What the hell are they playing at? Like who actually put her on the shortlist to get nominated and who ticked her name to go into the nominations? Come on, let be avin ya?

Second thing, in my humble opinion the following don't or haven't yet made MOBO (is it just initials now or have we forgotten it stands for Music of Black Origin?) Alesha Dixon, Jade Ewen, Alexandra Burke, Mr. Hudson, Dizzee Rascal, KanYe West & Akon.

The following haven't made enough music to warrant a place in there; surprise, surpise Jay-Z. I'll 'llow Jeremih due to him having an album (even though we know he's a one-hit wonder).

Lemar still makes music? Surely he got in there due to his relationship. I really like the guy, one of the nicest most down to earth artists I've met but his last album bombed. Beverly Knight has only just released her album right? Sistrin ting!

Once again they neglected the UK Funky movement

To the pluses, Reggae award is accurate (who wants to bet Sean Paul performs?), UK Act is a mad ting! Group of death ting. Drake will walk with something, Bashy could have won best album if it wasn't a fan voting. I'm not actually sure of the demographic who will vote but I'll go with Tinchy or N-Dubz.

I asked earlier, if a white person sung 'Bonkers' by Dizzee, Chip Diddy Chip - Chipmunk or Number 1 - Tinchy Stryder if it would qualify them for a MOBO? The answer to that is they most probably would if Lady Gaga does. That shut me up

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

50 Cent premieres Rick Ross Baby Mother Sex Tape

If you aren't familiar with the beef between Pimpin Curly and Officer Ricky, get familyar! Originates from Rick Ross dissin 50 on The Inkredibles produced banger Mafia Music. "We're steppin on your crew 'til the motherfucker's crushed And making sweet love to every woman that you lust I love to pay her bills, cant wait to pay her rent Curtis Jackson baby mother aint askin for a cent Burn the house down, you gotta buy another..." Fifty responded with a (lame) diss to which Rick Ross issued a 24hour deadline to make another.

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
