Megan Good Turns Rapper! Seriously? http://www.theminusones.com/2011/04/brace-yourself-megan-good-wants-to-be-a-rapper-giggles/
Lowkey surprised that y’all posted the Christian artist section.
Actually, surprised there’s a category for that on the Billboard Awards.
Huh.
WOW? NOT SURPRISE:OVERRATED+ NO TALENT=FEMINEM AND 5 HEAD!!
Hip pop makes up a large majority of ever award, and hiphop oriented pop music, like Beiber, kesha and gaga who’s signed to Akon’s label…
So, all in all i guess thats a good thing
WTF Gucci got snubbed smh. And how da fuck is Justin Bieber still new? Smh damn I hate crackas
cool!
team shady non stop em jus keeps winning=goat
It’ll just be da Eminem,Justin Bieber,Lady Gaga award show like always. America’s favorite pop bitches
whats new
HERE’S MY PREDICTION:
EMINEM & JUSTIN BIEBER WIN EVERY SINGLE THING THEY’RE NOMINATED FOR.
DRAKE GETS ROBBED,LIKE ALWAYS.
NOT EVEN WATCHING THIS BULLSHIT!
-JIMMY IS THE ILLEST
Never really cared about this award show for sum reason.
WoW No Kanye………
Where the fuck is hiphop?
Billboard has it own award show?
Billboard Awards are based on sales, downloads and radio/video play etc. That how they determine winners as well.
EM is the best
Why Rihanna is always in the RNB group ,but not the pop group? When these white ppl writies in their magazine they call her a pop artist, but when the awards come around she’s an RNB artist
CONGRATS DRAKE AND WAYNE !!
What about hip hop? Waka got snub AGAIN! FUCK ME!
RAP ARTIST: LIL WAYNE, DRAKE, AND NICKI! YMCMB STAY WINNING! WE THA BUSINESS 100 MILLION DOLLARS!
^ Too bad none of them winning.
^AH DUH!? WHITE AMERICA! WE THA BUSINESS 100 MILLION DOLLARS!
@ bangers n mash
co sign homie. ymcmb is only there cos theyre the rappers billboard (aka white people) like. yo i support eminem but he has sold out recently i wish he would go back to when he didnt give a fuck bout what nobody thought
Rihanna: “He sold out”
@YMCMB Those bitches could have all the money in the world, still doesn’t change the fact they lack the skills on the mic.
Glad that pop rapper Gucci isn’t nominated for anything.
Sucks for him, he’ll be getting that ice cream glazed on while well deserving hip hop artists will be sweeping the awards. Corny ass nigga.
Umm what is the criteria & eligibilty period for this cockamani award show? No Kanye West nominations are a joke. Unless they are still black balling him, in that case they should listen to Gorgeous!
We Stay Winning!!!!!!!!! SHADY 2011
where the YMCMB crew at? HA!
ludacris?4 my chick bad?…..smh.m angry rite now im gon rap
of course the white boy..is shitting on everybody else as usual..:)

What’s a social artist? An artist that’s most talked about? An artist that has the biggest fandom? Who thought of that of that category?
Best streaming artist… interesting. Beiber might win that one. His fans are nuts.
