3rd MyFABEMusic Awards: Hip Hop/Rap Song of 2012

The Hip Hop/Rap Song of the Year is not really a new category.  For the past two years, they have been lumped together with the R&B artists in just one category.  This year though, with more hip hop and rap acts in my personal countdown, we just had to break them off into their own category.  And deservedly so!

Here are the nominees for this year's Hip Hop/Rap Song of the Year -

Azealia Banks - 212

Kanye West, Big Sean and Jay-z - Clique

Nicki Minaj - Marilyn Monroe

Nicki Minaj - Whip It

Psy - Gangnam Style

And the Hip Hop/Rap Song of 2012 is Psy - Gangnam Style

 

P!nk Gets Her Fifth #1 Song in My Personal Countdown

I was just listening to some tracks in P!nk's new album, The Truth About Love and this song, Just Give Me A Reason, her duet with fun's Nate Ruess jumps out of my eardrums with its catchy beat and earnest lyrics!  After debuting at #4 last week, it's already my #1 song in my personal countdown even if I'm not sure if P!nk is even going to release this as a single.  But who cares?  That would even be better so I wouldn't have to share this song with the masses.

Here are P!nk's #1 songs in my personal countdown -

2001 - Get the Party Started
2002 - Just Like A Pill
2009 - Funhouse
2010 - Raise Your Glass
