Death to the easily influenced, lack of innovation, saturated, repetitive, clone thrown trends. Lately it seems like everyone's "style", if you would even call it that, is a general consciences of sameness. I've compiled a list of Trends that are starting to make my eyes bleed from over exposure. Check out these 6 trends. CLICK HERE

Aside from being mentioned in a Kanye West song or photographed by the paparazzi we haven't seen much of Kelly Rowland since her "Destiny was Fulfilled". After two mediocre solo albums and firing Mathew Knowles, Kelly's career is finally starting to take of in the right direction.--Story Here

"ALL OF THE LIGHTS (REMIX)" FT. LIL'WAYNE, DRAKE, AND BIG SEAN
KANYE WEST "ALL OF THE LIGHTS (REMIX)" FEAT. LIL'WAYNE BIG SEAN AND DRAKE
"All of the Lights" is one of my favorite Kanye West songs and after the disappointment of the video I felt as though people wouldn't feel the true spirit of the song. To my pleasant surprise The remix which enlists heavy hitter Lil'Wayne, new comer Big Sean, and fan favorite Drake was just dropped and it's a must listen! Drake has never gone off on a track like this! He stole the show Can't wait for his album Take Care to drop September 13th this is the unfinished remix the official is rumored to also include J.Cole, Listen below:

808S: NEW SINGLES GEARING UP FOR NEW ALBUMS
Big Sean was signed to Kanye West's label G.O.O.D. Music in 2007 and has released 3 consecutive mixtapes (Finally Famous vol. 1 through 3).He's Generating a buzz as new artist to look out for now at the top of 2011 and with the release of his highly anticipated Finally Famous the Album on March 29th he's released his first official single. I personally LOVE the track which features noted R&B crooner Chris Brown listen below:
Big Sean feat. Chris Brown "My Last"
Trey Songz "6'7" triggamix
These days it seems like you can catch Trey Songz laying down a freestyle or two over all the hot Hip-Hop beats. Is this sensation considering adding this set of skills to his next album? Or simply looking for cross over appeal? Either way we're listening checkout his version of Lil'Wayne's hit "6'7" below:
T-Pain feat. Chris Brown "Bes Luv Song"
T-Pain boldly announced that he hasn't gone anywhere on Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" G-Mix and now he's released the first listen into his new material. Teaming up with Chris Brown yet again the two belt out more auto-tuned vocals. The track will be featured on T-Pains new album rEVOLVEr. Listen below:
Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake and Keri Hilson "You lied. You Cheated."
On Timbalands website for "Timbaland Thursdays" a track featuring Keri Hilson and Justin Timberlake was released. Sounding like the classical bass hitting futuristic sounds of of the producer could this be a possibly be a single for the album JT's been working on? Do you think the song makes the cut? Listen Below:

When the premiere of Kanye's "Power Portrait" had everyone in a stir it was obvious that their was no telling what else he had cooked up for the videos off of his latest album.

Honorable Mention
Although these artists didn't make any of our list B.O.B., Keri Hilson, and Travie McCoy still had a great year in music and it should be interesting to see how well they will thrive in 2011. Which artist are you most looking forward to in 2011?
808s: Cypher gives Shine at BET HipHop Awards
UNEXPECTED ARTISTS SHINE IN CYPHER
Every year one of the things I look forward to most at the B.E.T. Hiphop awards are the Cyphers! A Cypher, for you none hiphop heads, is when a group of rappers freestyle one after the other in a non-battle format simply showcasing there skills. Throughout the show segments are show in black and white with up to six artist spitting bars. Most of the artist include well known rappers as well as those on the up-and-coming.
This years Cypher featured Everyone from Wiz Khalifa to female rapper Diamond. In total there were four segments, but the REAL buzz was about G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean, and Rev Run's son Diggy Simmons.
In the "Hall of Fame" section of the Cypher were Ice Cube and his two sons: OMG and Doughboy, as well as Rev Run and his two sons: JoJo and Diggy Simmons. They were featured in a sort of "Father passing the torch" segment. While Ice Cubes sons delivered average bars they were followed by Diggys attention grabbing first lines. "Yeah I'm only 15 but my 16's strong, so I'ma spit this quick 8 and let you feans get gone." He was just warming up later on in the clever 8bars, he had lines with the metaphorical mentions of LeBron James and Nicki Minaj. Twitter and Youtube were quickly all talk about the suprising skills of Rev Runs son.
By far the best Cypher of the night was Kanye's label G.O.O.D. Music, which featured Himself, Pusha T, Big Sean, Cyhi Da Prynce, and Common. Kanye started off with a freestyle introduction of each artist and the Cypher warmed up with Pusha T. But things really got hot when Big Sean began spitting bars. It seemed like line after line was ever more clever than the last."Who ever told you Skys the limit is looking dumb, cuz I'm 22 and I'm moonwalking on the Sun." But he didn't stop there. "Last year I was watching this from the couch, and now I'm here that should let you know what I'm about. Regal black suites cuz my whole teams killing, had to keep setting trends cuz your whole teams stealing." He was later on followed by Kanye who's verse was quite memorable as well.
Since the airing of B.E.T.'s HipHop awards the internet buzz of these two artist are already beginning to increase with fans constantly tweeting about the Cypher and "Diggy Simmons" becoming an item to "like" on Facebook. Now people are curious about what else these artist may have to offer. Diggy Simmons music can be found all over the internet such as his song "Great Expectations", a cut from Diggy's upcoming mixtape, Airborne. Which was featured on a AT&T commercial.
Earlier this year Big Sean released his latest Mixtape, Almost Famous Vol. 3, which has already generated a heavy buzz and features artist such as Bun B, Drake, Asher Roth, Tyga, and Curren$y. The most notable tracks are "What You Doing?(bullshxtin)" and "Memories" which he recently released a video for.
If you liked these artist in the Cypher then be sure to check out more of their material. The clips from both of their freestyles are featured below.
