Rolling Stone has returned with a new list in honour of hip-hop songs of all time for its 50th anniversary following the release of its divisive list of the 200 Greatest Rap Albums of All Time

The 100 Best West Coast Hip-Hop Songs of All Time were ranked this time. The list, which spans artists like Ice-T and E-40, was put together by the magazine’s editors and critics and included classics by Tupac, Dr Dre, and N.W.A. as well as contemporary anthems by Kendrick Lamar, The Game, and Saweetie.

Additionally, some placements are sure to spark discussion. Tyler the Creator’s 2011 breakthrough hit “Yonkers” scores shockingly high at No. 19, while Snoop’s “Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None)” just cracks the top 50 at No. 49. The popular party song “California Love” by Tupac, however, failed to break the top 10.

The top 10 is dominated by timeless songs like Snoop’s “Gin and Juice,” Ice Cube’s “It Was a Good Day,” and Too $hort’s “Blow the Whistle,” with Nipsey Hussle’s “Last Time That I Checc’d” coming in at No. 11. The winning song is “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang” by Dr. Dre.

Some of the most popular artists of all time have never won Grammy Awards.

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards was held on Sunday, the 3rd of April and it honoured some of the year’s best recordings and artists with a night full of glitz and glamour.

While there were some noticeable snubs in the list of Grammy Winners for 2022, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing for those artists. Many of the most well-known musicians in history have never won the award.

• 10 Artists who have won The Grammy and Oscar Awards

From Nicki Minaj to Snoop Dogg, here are some iconic artists that have never taken home the golden gramophone:

Nicki Minaj

In the five years between 2010 and 2015, Nicki Minaj was nominated for ten Grammy Awards. In 2011, the rapper was beaten by Bon Iver for best new artist, while in 2015, she was beaten by Kendrick Lamar in all three of her nominated categories.

Snoop Dogg

Calvin Broadus, better known as Snoop Dogg, has been nominated for 19 Grammy Awards, the first of which he received in 1993, but has never won. According to reports, he presently holds the record for the most Grammy Award nominations without ever winning one.

Sia

Since 2012, Sia has received nine Grammy nominations, but the singer-songwriter, record producer, and music video director has yet to win.

Lin-Manuel Miranda beat her to the award for best song written for visual media in 2017.

Sia was even nominated for Record of the Year in 2015 for “Chandelier,” but lost to Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.”

Tupac

Tupac Shakur had six Grammy nominations, including one after his death. In 1995, he was nominated for the first time but lost to Coolio and Naughty by Nature, and he was nominated again after his death but lost this time to Eminem.

Busta Rhymes

Trevor Smith Jr., aka Busta Rhymes, has been nominated for 12 Grammy Awards since 1996 but has yet to win. In 2011, he received two nominations for best rap performance and best rap song.

In both categories, he was defeated by Kanye West.

The Notorious B.I.G

Just Like Tupac, the Notorious B.I.G was a popular rapper when he was alive and an iconic rap figure after his death, however, his many hit records don’t count for anything as far as Grammy is concerned.

B.I.G has been nominated four times but hasn’t won any.

Katy Perry

She’s been nominated 13 times over the last 10 years, but current “American Idol” judge, Katy Perry, still doesn’t have a Grammy award to adorn her mantle.

Katy was even nominated for Album of the Year for Teenage Dream but lost out to The Suburbs by Arcade Fire.

Wizkid and Davido are two young African artists transforming the perception of the continent and shaking up the global mainstream with their infectious Afrobeats sound.

Their professional or rather intentional beef brought a lot of changes in the Nigerian music industry, I describe it as intentional Beef because of how it translates into their coins, which simply means that their bags get heavier as long as it lingers.

Consistency translates into a heavy bag, the music business is practically similar to other professional businesses, of which consistency yields more earnings, thereby boost artistical booking fee.

Although, the rivalry has helped both to maintain longevity and consistency even though the potential greatness of their combined talents was also evident as seen on different occasions.

This post will specifically highlight the influence of the rivalry between them and also why they are not likely to make a song together.

However, the cause of what exploded into arguably the biggest rivalry in Nigerian music history will not be the priority at this point.

• RELATED: The transformation of Afropop in the Nigerian music industry

Meanwhile, they have individually carried the culture consistently for over a decade now and yet still very much relevant in the Nigerian music industry.

music rivalry is always a big sign of cultural development which enhances industrial prevalence, now let’s take a toll on other big music industry in the world, how professional beef has been used to improve their industry.

before Wizkid and Davido, we’ve had a series of rivalry in the Nigerian music industry, including Ruggedman and Eedris Abdulkareem,

It’s not a flick that the feuds between Wizkid and Davido are going down to one of the most iconic in the Nigerian music industry.

In the US, Tupac and Biggie, Nas and Jay Z, Kanye West and Jay Z, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, even till now fans haven’t stopped from assuming the worst about Beyoncé and Rihanna relationship, acting like two legends cannot coexist.

One of the few reason rivalries is inevitable in any music industry in the world today.

Tupac and Biggie had their time, considered as two of the most talented hip-hop rappers on the scene, initially, started small but grew to the pinnacle and how they went from friends to music’s biggest rivals,

Comparing the similarities, Tupac entered the music scene two years before Biggie, on the other hand, Wizkid was just a year old before Davido launched into the scene, both entrances undoubtedly created a significant impact in the industry.

Aside from personal and private feuds, there is still professional mutual respect between the two, sometimes stan creates misunderstanding with a nonexistent topic to attack each other fanbases.

Why would they likely never make a song together? simply because they need the rivalry to stay afloat, it keeps them on the top trend in the Nigerian music industry, as well as being the most talk about artiste is a privilege.

The feuds have helped them to work harder and improve on their creative skills in breaking and creating various records, looking at the business side, it’s unfavourable to discontinue the feud.

Anyway, the rivalry has come to a point where it can’t stop again, the conversation has been embedded in history and will continue to be referenced.
