5. T.I. x Kanye West x Jay-Z x M.I.A.x Lil’ Wayne – “Swagga Like Us” 2009 Grammys

Who can forget this Powerhouse performance? How many times will you get T.I., Kanye, Hov, M.I.A., and Lil’ Wayne all on one stage? The Black & White added to the greatness of this performance. The main thing that was going through most minds was M.I.A. going to drop that baby on stage live. She did give birth just a few days later. Don’t really use “swag”, but that stage was full of it.

4. Kanye West Wins First Grammy Award 2005 Grammy Awards

Let’s be real. There were plenty of Yeezy moments and not all were completely “bad”. Here’s footage of Kanye West accepting his very first Grammy Award in 2005 for his College Dropout album. While he didn’t get ushered off the stage with background music like he did a few years later, he did leave us with this question…what would he have done if he didn’t win that award? We’ll never know.

3. Lil’ Wayne x Robin Thicke – “Tie My Hands” 2009 Grammy Awards

Lil’ Wayne delivered a heartfelt performance dedicated to his hometown of New Orleans at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Robin Thicke joined him for the sentimental performance of “Tie My Hands” from Wayne’s Carter III album. It was good to see a different side of Wayne.

2. Beyonce – “Dangerously In Love” 2003 Grammy Awards

Beyonce has come a long way from this performance, but this was the performance that let me know that Beyonce would be here to stay. When I first saw this performance I literally got goose bumps. Not only is Beyonce just a beautiful woman, but her voice is amazing. She could have easily took the stage with an upbeat performance of “Crazy In Love” or any of her other hits from her debut solo album, but she nailed it with this rendition of “Dangerously In Love”. The scary part is that Beyonce voice is keep on getting better and better.

1. Kanye West x Daft Punk – “Stronger/Hey Mama” 

Is this what y’all been waiting for? Kanye West brought a visually insane performance to the 2008 Grammy Awards complete with Daft Punk, the Electro group responsible for “Harder Better Faster Stronger” which Ye sampled for “Stronger”. The best part of this performance was definitely the new version of Kanye’s “Hey Mama” which he dedicated to his late mother, Donda West that night. So sad.

Ever since Beyonce’s revealing of her pregnancy during 2011′s MTV Movie Awards ceremony, people have been coming up with conspiracies and rumors about Beyonce faking her pregnancy and even having a surrogate mother. Rumors escalated after an appearance on Australia’s Sunday Night HD when her baby bump allegedly “deflated”. It would only be a matter of time before someone close to the couple got fed up with the rumors. It was only right for Beyonce’s little sister who is a mother herself to dispell the rumors and defend her sister, brother-in-law, and niece.

 ”Boyyyy some of yall are making yourselves look REALLY CRAZY posting page-long statuses debating LIES. wow. people really are #INSANE!!!! smh…usually I wouldn’t say $hit but some of this is going TOO FAR.” I’m truly appalled and baffled at some of the things I’ve been reading. It’s so disheartening. Sad!”

“It’s pretty disgusting people have lived such miserable lives they truly will not allow themselves to BELIEVE others are NORMAL and HAPPY!!! another thing. I don’t tweet or say $hit to get a rise out of YOU. I say WHAT I MEAN. as I do #InRealLife. grown woman here, so #CHILL.”

5. Rebecca Black – “Friday”

We’re going to just keep this one really short…some jokes go way too far! Save it for the shower Rebecca.

4. Beyonce – “Run The World (Girls)”

Beyonce is one of the hottest chicks in the game. Unfortunately, “Run The World (Girls)” wasn’t one of the hottest things to happen in 2011. The Diplo produced beat was hot, but we already heard it on Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor”…like almost exactly the same. Dirty Money also just sampled the song months before the single was released with their hit “Ass On The Floor”. The world didn’t really need the beat recycled again. The lyrics? Well, the hook was Kidz Bop ready. We do have to give Beyonce her props for the vocals, that Billboard Awards performance, and the video. We could have really done without the song though.

3. Lil’ Wayne – “How To Love”

Now this song really wasn’t completely horrible, but it’s just not what we wanted out of a Lil’ Wayne song. We don’t wat to hear Wayne sing. To be truthfully honest we really didn’t want to hear anything off of the Carter IV. Well, “She Will” was a hot record, but other than that Wayne could have kept that album and he should given “How To Love” to a singer. A real one.

2. Nicki Minaj - “Stupid Hoe”

“Stupid Hoe” just might be one of the worst Nicki Minaj album tracks. The silly comparisons of herself being platinum and others chopping wood are just dumb. Yes, maybe if Kim played her cards right she might have been able to come back, but this wasn’t the track to call anyone out on. The annoying childish singing and the ridiculously simple hook easily makes this track one of the worst singles of 2011. We expect more from Nicki Minaj especially after “Romans Revenge” if she’s trying to make another subliminal record. We know Nicki can do much better especially since Roman is back in town.

1. Wiz Khalifa – “Roll Up”

In the beginning of 2011 we watched Wiz reach the height of his popularity after dominating the mixtape game and setting up the release of one of the most anticipated albums of the year. With the success of “Black & Yellow”, we all had high hopes for “Roll Up”. Unfortunately, this song summed up Wiz’s wack attempt at going mainstream. With the hook “I roll up”, Wiz tried to keep his underground hip-hop fans happy while getting the vote from middle school parents. Nice try Wiz, Just keep ‘rolling up’ what you usually do and you will get our vote every-time.

Rumors are circulating that Beyonce is in labor, but one thing that is a fact is that Beyonce killed her Dianne Warren penned “I Was Here”. The performance was previously taped at a live show in London and aired during Dick Clark’s Rockin’ Eve.

Here’s a brand new video from Beyonce for “Dance For You”, a cut off the deluxe version of her latest album 4. Love the song and the video is cool too!

Check out the full Live At Roseland show! Beyonce did her thing!

Beyonce will be releasing her Live at Roseland DVD next week and in anticipation to the release here is the video for “End Of Time”. Not sure how I feel about the editing of this video, but Beyonce did her thing !

Mary J. Blige & Beyonce collab on what could be hailed as the best R&B collab this year. This has hit written all over it. Sean Garrett did an EXCELLENT job.

Beyonce recorded this performance of “Countdown” with The Roots back in July. Kind of boring if you ask me.
