Four years may have passed since he billed the Rapper a ‘jack***’ in footage captured here, but President Obama’s name continues to show no signs of leaving Kanye West’s mouth this week.

Commercial glory aside, Nicki Minaj’s lyrical skill and story telling abilities have seen her rise well above the realm of ‘Female Rap’ to become one of the most celebrated Rappers of all time.

Indeed, despite trying and failing numerous times to cite her aesthetic, financial backing and eccentricities as the root cause of her notoriety, her naysayers continue to find themselves faced with facts that point to the contrary.

Facts, that lie in her subtle use of  metaphors, clear diction and versatility . Facts, acknowledged by ‘Through the Wire’ lyricist Kanye West, who has named her verse on his 2010 cut ‘Monster’ the best Hip Hop verse of all time.

Earlier today, following his appearance on hit radio show ‘The Breakfast Club‘, ‘Blood on the Leaves’ performer Kanye West made his way to Sirius XM‘s ‘Sway in the Morning‘ show to engage in a conversation with its host, Sway Calloway.

After handing her a record breaking world tour and her first US #1 album, it’s safe to say the last twelve months have been nothing short of joyous for Pop Royal Rihanna.

However, it was Drake‘s latest achievement that the star opted to celebrate last night, when she joined him at West Hollywood’s ‘Bootsy Bellows’ following the critically acclaimed LA showing that was his ‘Would You Like a Tour?’.

Rubbing shoulders with the Rapper and her long time pal Melissa Forde, the Grammy winning sensation hit the spot just days after her aforementioned ‘Diamonds World Tour’ was named one of the highest grossing tours of the last decade, as is explained here.

Days before she’s set to wow audiences in Lifetime‘s ‘Christmas in the City’, R&B Queen Ashanti continues on in her bid for independent success with ‘I Got It’, featuring Rick Ross!

Though it does make for a ‘nice’ listen, the number lacks the ‘premium’ feel that once saw the performer give Beyonce a run for her money (see summer of 2003).

Instead, what Ashanti offers up is mix tape worthy material, far beneath than act who once stood at the forefront of her genre and – for a short but sweet time- Pop culture.
