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. But the "Runaway" 34minute short film was more than even we could have predicted. The "video" which was narrated by Nicki Minaj in her infamous English accent was well received by his fans.
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: Nicki Minaj is Aladdin Not Jasmine
ALADDIN
NOT
JASMINE
She is not the supporting actress. She plays the leading role. A paragraph couldn't explain her, an article couldn't define her. She must simply be lived, looked upon, heard, and experienced for yourself.
Nicki Minaj.
Quotes by Nicki
"Got the eye of the tiger, The Lion of Judah, now it's me in my time, it just me in my prime."
"I'm fighting for the girls that never thought they could win, because before they could begin you told them it was the end, but I am here to reverse the curse that they live in."
"In Romans Revenge I say I am not Jasmine I am Alladin, It's time for the girl to be the main character yah know?"
"I am not a word, I am not a line, I am not a girl who could ever be defined."
"Why isn't their a female rapper turned mogul? I mean having an Empire beyond your rap career? and I don't know why, I just know I wanna be the first, and I will be."
"I'm not doing it for me, I'm doing it for them, when you start affecting lives you're no longer doing it for you."
"We done did everything they can think of, greatness is what we on the brink of."
"I'm on that different type of high heroine, put on my cape and hit the sky heroine."
"You have to ask for what you want. You have to identify what it is you need to get where you have to go and then speak that, and program it into your life."

Dear Old Nicki,
Your influence moves beyond your music. I see myself in you. I keep this to myself because most people would be appalled at the fact that I this dark-skinned, coarse haired, African-American, 20year old college student has the nerve to mention herself in the same sentence as Nicki Minaj. But I do not mean in the physical sense. Just the pure essence of who you are and what you stand for is something I find myself relating too. Witnessing your career aspirations fabricated in reality remind me of the dreams I am striving to achieve, the voice I'm creating and stating on a daily. Many see you as simply an artist or the best female rapper and others just see you as a sex symbol, but none of those things are what draws me to your music or your movement. What draws me in is the messages you send and the truth that you put out everyday. Your passion and hunger to be successful in life that comes from an unselfish place, your struggle between being a "b*tch and a boss", the powerful and positive affect you have on people, yet showing the same vulnerability, fear, and happiness as a normal person. Hearing your album the last thing I expected was to hear the thoughts I think everyday in your songs. In most music that I enjoy I feel like the artist is speaking to me, but I felt like you were speaking through me. Which is why I've cultivated such a passion for your artistry. Watching your success is helping to fuel the fire within myself to be bigger and better to reach my goals with a confidence in who I am and a resilience to continue when the going gets tough. I am a woman, a visionary, unlocking the power of my mind and who I am to help those in this world around me. You are rising to the occasion and I when I'm rooting for you I am in turn rooting for myself. Thanks Nicki for reminding me that these dreams of mine are not as intangible as they sometimes seem and if I work hard enough I'll being flying and experiencing my own "Moments 4 Life". I truly tip my hat off to you and I hope one day I profoundly ignite a flame in someone the way you have conjured a fire in me.
with sincerity,
KaShawn
