Poll After The Jump Nicki Minaj is the toast of hip hop, and now even the pop world as Rolling Stone has given her the title of the "Queen Of Hip Hop" in it's upcoming issue Nicki deserves all the credit she's getting right now. Her debut album 'Pink Friday' is expected to sell over 400,000 units its first week out. She's gotten co-signs from almost every major rapper out there from Joe Budden to Kanye West. But does she deserve the title of "queen" after only one album?. Let's look at some other female rappers who should also be considered for that title. Foxy Brown Years In The Game : 15 Solo Albums : 4 (2 certified platinum, 1 certified gold) Group Albums: 1 "The Firm" Album With Nas, AZ & Nature - (certified gold) Missy Elliot Years In The Game - 19 Solo Albums : 6 (1 certified double platinum. 4 certified platinum, And 1 gold) Group Albums: 1 with the group Swing Mob early in her career, that was never released Lil Kim Years In The Game: 16 Solo Albums: 4 (1 certified double platinum, 2 certified platinum) Group Albums 1 Junior M.A.F.I.A album (certified platinum) Eve Years In The Game: 16 Solo Albums: 3 (1 certified double platinum, 1 certified platinum, 1 certified gold) Group Albums: Eve appeared on 3 Ruff Ryders complilation albums Lauryn Hill Years In The Game 19 Solo Albums: 2 (1 certified 8x platinum, 1 certified platinum) Group Albums: 2 (1 Certified 6x platinum) After taking a look at the careers of Foxy Brown, Eve, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim and Lauryn Hill, it would seem Nicki Minaj has some stiff competition for the title of "Queen Of Hip Hop" Which one of these ladies would you give that title to?

Happy Birthday Aaliyah, R&B Star Would Have Been 31 Today

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on January 16, 2010 at 2:00pm

Sometimes, when I see Beyonce, hear Alicia Keys, or notice some new pop-soul singer on the radio, TV or the Web, I think of Aaliyah. Today, Jan. 16, would have been her 31st birthday. Born in Brooklyn, and raised in Detroit, Aaliyah Dana Haughton was one of the most innovative hip-hop soul singers of the last decade. She released her debut album, “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number” (1994), at the age of 14. Her follow-ups, “One in a Million” (1996), and “Aaliyah” (2001), were both influential and best-selling, fracturing the sound of traditional R&B. While other soul stars belted out songs and looked to raise the roof, Aaliyah stayed in the groove, working with collaborators R. Kelly, Timbaland, and Missy Elliott, to create beat-driven music with unusual but gripping rhythms, subtle vocals, and dangerously glamorous videos. She cut a mysterious figure in an overexposed field, keeping her private life private, and sweeping her dark hair over one eye like Veronica Lake. Soon after the release of her third, self-titled album, however, and just as she was securing a side career as a movie actress, Aaliyah’s career was cut short in a plane crash in 2001. She was 22 years old. Please leave your thoughts about Aaliyah in the comments section. Below, a few of Aaliyah’s music videos. Here’s the video for “Are You That Somebody?” Aaliyah "Are You That Somebody" Aaliyah "More Than A Woman" Aaliyah "One In A Million" Aaliyah Rare Interview
