Eminem has done it again. Billboard is following Nielsen Soundscan and naming Eminem as the Top Artist of the Decade. Six of the seven studio albums and collections Em released in this decade reached or debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, while two of his 20 songs to chart on the Hot 100 singles tally hit the top spot there (”Lose Yourself” and “Crack a Bottle”).

Other than Eminem NO-ONE else on this list is actually worthy beyond their sales numbers. Most of these acts are just hype with little to no substance. Usher at #2 is now most famous for his brief marriage, child and divorce. Nelly is completely irrelevant, 50 Cent has moved on to biiger more profitable dealings, Alicia Keys is a hack, Nickleback is sub-par at best, Britney Spears doesn’t even sing and Jay Z is out dated by a decade having produced no original music or talent in years!

I had this story a few days back but honestly the truth is I passed on it. Today I changed my mind and decided it’s news so here it is:

Do you remember Nia Long? In case I need to remind you, she was in John Singleton’s “Boy’s In The Hood “, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Big Momma’s house.

She’s pissed at Beyonce…know why? ‘Cuz Beyonce and others like ” Jennifer Hudson” are getting all the roles that Tinseltown previously gave to Nia.

I believe Gabrielle Union was mad at Beyonce for the same reasons. Samuel Jackson even complained about, in essence the same thing regarding rappers becoming actors…

Nia’s remarks toward Bey came from an interview in a magazine called ” Pride”; is that a gay magazine? Anyways, to make a long story short Nia’s point was that (it’s) not about acting anymore it’s about the Box Office…In other words Hollywood is giving roles to popular people who already have a fanbase. No shit Nia, expect to see Perez Hilton on the big screen soon too.

Musicians were complaining about this type of thing a long time ago when actors, models, actresses, and professional athletes like Shaq and Dion Sanders became singers.
Did anyone hear the musicians cry for help? No…You all called those musicians haters for defending their own craft mane!

Nobody was listening before; it was all a big joke when the industry decided to ruin music… Since this town has already destroyed the music business they have decided to do the same to the film world. Michael Bay is doing a good job at it – can’t wait to see Twilight 2 and 3…
I’m sure Bruno is a great film too…
