The 'Lamar Got Snubbed Again' Show - The GRAMMYs happened this past Monday. It was a cyclone of audio problems, Kendrick winning and performing, artists getting sick, artists canceling, rappers dipping out after their presenting duties were fulfilled and a pop star going after our innocent Kanye West. Right.The GRAMMY night passed and some were pretty angry about Natalie Cole not getting her proper performance tribute. Since there was no real reason, the GRAMMY producers came to us with this crock. Whatever, we’re looking forward to the s**t show next year. (Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage)

A Week Gone West - What a week for hip hop’s little cherub. Some of us aren’t really happy with him at the moment, but we digress. In one of his Twitter rants this past week, West admitted to being $53 million in debt. One of his dedicated fans created a GoFundMe page and he’s even gotten some donations (and some of them are hilarious). Don’t miss out.Oh, yeah, and in a much calmer Twitter rant this week, he made a crazy admission: "My number one enemy has been my ego…” We’ll take that with a grain of salt.
