Eminem

Eminem (Marshall Mathers) dominated the Billboard Awards on Sunday, taking home 6 awards. Which were Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Song and Top Rap Album for his smash comeback, Recovery.

Another artist that dominated was  Justin Beiber who also won 6 awards, but I think Eminem deserved this recognition after so many years in the industry. I have always thought that he is  Rap’s best lyricist out there. I still believe that he destroyed Jay Z, on his own track “Renegade”, but that’s my opinion and a debate for another day.

Oh, not forgetting  to congratulate South Africa’s Freshlyground for winning the “Top Latin Song” award for “Waka waka” which was a collabo with Shakira.

Lady Gaga took the Top Dance/Electronic Artist, Top Dance/Electronic Album and Top Pop Artist Award. Most people say that she’s weird and creepy, but I think she is one creative being. Usher also scooped 3 awards which are, Top R&B Album, Top R&B Song and Top R&B Artist.
