Yesterday evening, Pepsi darling Nicki Minaj celebrated the news that her sophomore LP ,’Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘, had been certified Platinum in the US.

However, as the love fest between she and her ‘Barbz’ went on on Twitter, the news came under intense scrutiny from the Rapper’s critics.

She may have impressed with fans with VH1’s ‘Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business’ last year, but ‘Moesha’ star Brandy Norwood has sworn off doing another Reality TV Show.

Speaking to Sister2Sister magazine she explained:

I don’t want to do reality shows.

I watch reality shows here and there, but I don’t think I work well on reality shows. I think I’m too boring for reality. It’s much more fun playing somebody else.

I don’t even argue like some of these women on TV.

I just watched ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,’ and I was like, ‘whoa.’ It’s not that you have to compete [with other shows], but if you look at things from a business standpoint, you want to get the kind of ratings that the ‘Basketball Wives’ are getting.

She went onto joke:

Why aren’t we getting those ratings? Your life is just too boring,” she joked. “People want to see drama. They want to see that. So, reality is not for me.

However, while she’s steering clear of Reality TV, Norwood has a number of projects lined up for the small and big screen.

Next year marks the release of ‘The Marriage Counselor‘, in which she stars in with Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Williams.

This, months after she reprises the role of Elisa on Lifetime’s ‘Drop Dead Diva’, and her seemingly permanent spot on ‘The Game‘.

Despite being one of Hip Hop’s more monumental figures in the 90s, recent years have seen Foxy Brown‘s star burn out.

Opting to lead a quieter life following several run ins with the law, today will see the MC secure the attention never afforded to Rap punchline Lil Kim, whose feud with the Rapper almost cost Brown her life.

With over 2 million copies sold worldwide since its 2011 release, it’s safe to say Beyonce‘s ‘4’ struck a positive chord with the general public and her ever loyal ‘Beyhive‘.

A cool fusion of Alternative R&B and foot stomping power anthems, the project- by way of sound- might be described as the lovechild of 2003’s ‘Dangerously In Love’ and 2008’s ‘I Am Sasha Fierce‘.

However, perhaps in response to the star’s well publicized 2012 Grammy snub, the topic of ‘4‘s critical appeal still burns bright, with critics and fans torn between how influential the project is, how will it be remembered in ten to fifteen years time?

So now we throw the question to you.

Do you think ‘4’ is a classic?
