Nicki Minaj spills on her Sophomore LP
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Last year, fans did not learn of Pink Friday until the album was right around the corner. Nicki Minaj built so much buzz, due to her collaborations with Ludacris and Usher, which were followed by her hit single, "Your Love." This momentum had Nicki Minaj more popular than Drake, who had released an album.
Upon releasing her debut album, Nicki Minaj broke records for female rappers, which had remained for decades. After her debut album, Nicki Minaj fans were already wanting to hear her next album. The entire Cash Money label is preparing to release new albums this year. Currently, the label is pushing Drake and his upcoming Take Care.
While the focus is on Drake, Nicki Minaj is also working on her new album. Nicki Minaj briefly spoke on her new album during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and revealed her Roman Zolanski personality would be featured heavily.

Jay-Z facing more Business Troubles
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
In the wake of his recent news, Jay-Z is likely thinking back to his 1998 track, "A Week Ago," with Too $hort. A little over a week ago, Jay-Z was on top of the world. Recently, he returned to music and his album with Kanye West topped the charts. Around the same time, Jay-Z celebrated news of him becoming a father in the near future.
In the time since his performance at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, things have been going downhill for Jay-Z. His 40/40 nightclub is currently facing a lawsuit in Las Vegas. The recent release of Tha Carter IV has knocked Watch the Throne off the top of the charts, as well.
Those two stories pale in comparison to what Jay-Z is facing ahead, regarding his realty company. Fox News reported Jay-Z's company has been forcing people out of their homes. The Jay-Z-owned company is harrassing people out of their homes, using a number of tactics. Among the tactics are suing the people, using threats, and giving their numbers out to local realtors.
Fifteen tenants have reportedly moved out since May. Read more...

Tyler, the Creator featured on the Wall Street Journal
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
In 2011, all of Tyler, the Creator's dreams have come true. His album, Goblin, has sold well, independently. Aside from his record sales, Tyler, the Creator recently won an MTV Award for 'Best New Artist.' During the ceremony, in between insults towards Bruno Mars, Tyler, the Creator said it was a dream come true.
Tyler, the Creator has built up significant buzz over the past two years. This buzz has not gone unnoticed by The Wall Street Journal. Recently, the famed business publication featured the Odd Future frontman. The Wall Street Journal was very impressed by Tyler, the Creator's business sense and style.
Now, more and more celebrities are releasing their music for free. These artists are doing this because they hope it will help them gain more fans. Tyler, the Creator has used the new digital market to establish career. However, he does not agree with giving away music for free. Tyler does not believe this will lead to better record sales, over any period of time, he knows people will take anything for free, especially music.
With the changes in the music industry, The Wall Street Journal was impressed with the way Tyler includes various types of music in his style. While he is categorized as a rapper, Tyler, the Creator calls his style a mixture between rap and rock with much profanity thrown in. His eccentric style has attracted many fans and it has also turned off many longtime hip hop fans. Most, on both sides of the debate, do not realize how talented Tyler, the Creator is. At the age of twelve, he taught himself how to play the piano.
The Wall Street Journal picked up on Tyler, the Creator still living at home with his younger sister and mother, along with his onslaught of disses aimed at Bruno Mars. At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, the question of why Tyler hated Bruno Mars came up. Tyler, the Creator revealed he hated his music and he does not think it is a big deal when he states it. On a personal level, he has no issues with Bruo Mars, but musically, he hates him.
Overall, 2011 has been a dream come true for Tyler, the Creator. Read more...

Tyler, the Creator is known for making homophobic statements. When asked why he does such things, Tyler says it is for shock value.
