Nicki Minaj Confirms New Album Date
Tho the release date (for all intents & purposes) for Pink Friday is 11.23.10 , it will be made available everywhere on 11.22.10. Albums are generally released on Tuesdays but in rare instances Record Companies will “break street date†and release on Monday implemented by the Record Company, I am neither happy nor upset by this minor change.

Ludacris: #10 Hottest MC In The Game
Today MTV Kicks off their Top 10 Hottest MCs In The Game list. Coming in at #10 is ATL’s own, Ludacris. Some names that had a big year but did not make the cut include Wiz Khalifa, Gucci Mane, Lloyd Banks, Bun B & Fabolous.
In March, Ludacris released his seventh album, Battle of the Sexes, and without seeming to try much at all, he made the case for why he should be a candidate for the 2010 Hottest MC in the Game.
