The internet is a buzz with the drama that went down at this year’s Soul Train Awards 2010. (Get ready for a spoiler) Eminem won the 2010 Soul Train Award for Best Hip Hop Song of the Year for “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna…but not everyone applauded his win. Fellow nominee, Rick Ross wasn’t too happy that his song “B.M.F. (Blowing Money Fast) featuring Styles P and didn’t nab the silver train and walked out of the awards, despite the fact that he was scheduled to perform “Aston Martin Music” with Chrisette Michele. Well, Michelle wasn’t too happy about Ross’ walk out and took to her personal blog to vent. Check out what she had to say:

Award Show:

If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it.

This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give.

It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community.

Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at being as “stuck in a category” as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else.

I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool. Don’t LET me start rapping. (album in stores november 30th)

They say…I’m ecclectic. I’m underrated. I’m different. Well If I win an award it’s because I paved a way. Every award I’ve won was new in it’s category. You know why? Because I’m amazing at being my damn self.

Grammy – best alternative R&B song Centric award – Soul Approved Etc.

Have u even heard of those categories? Nope. But guess what? You ain’t never seen another me. And u never will. No ego here. Why? Because it’s none needed. My award is waking up every morning and CAKING off of what I believe in by the grace of God.

LET FREEDOM REIGN – in stores NOVEMBER 30th. Go pick that up.

Maybe I’ll call my 4th album “winners : just like every body else” maybe not.

I pray with every song I sing Im singing from the bottom of my heart. If all we want is an award for telling our truths, then we really have no true reason. This isn’t a competition. This is a stage for self expression and I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on it. I’d sing even if nobody sang along.

-from the bottom of my disappointed heart. Hip Hop… Man up. I wanted to be supportive but I can’t understand you. I believed in you… But apparently you’re so high you can’t even see what the world needs.

Is all hip hop like that? Absolutely not! But some of it certainly is. Let me spit a few bars. I’m not that kinda hip hop. I rep hip hop too. But not that kinda ego trippin foolery.

Chrisette Michele – the girl on that Aston Martin Music record…

Spread love.

The newly signed Roc Nation artist is going to get a lot of new fans when this album drops on November 16th. She has left the dark and depressing music of last year’s Rated R behind and has put together an entire album of feel good records. Whether or not you co-sign her vocal prowess, the spirit of the tracks is so ‘loud’ that you have to listen. With infectious techno-pop beats on “S&M,” and her lead single “Only Girl” (that has thus far peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100)—fans and skeptics alike will be up dancing.

Thankfully for variety sake, It’s not a party the entire album. The inclusion of a couple of ladies anthems—a no brainer as a result of the success of 2007’s “Take A Bow”—prove successful. “What’s My Name” and “Raining Men” featuring Young Money artists Drake and Nicki Minaj respectively.

It’s evident that her ability to control her voice has developed beautifully on ballads like “California King Bed,” “Fading,” and “Complicated.” As huge bonus RiRi offers a part two for Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie” —on which she sang the track.

This album has truly declared that she is going to be around for a while. Check out snippets of her 11-track LP below.

1. “S&M”
2. “What’s My Name?” feat. Drake

The 2010 Soul Train Awards ‘Best Dance Performance’ nominee is capitalizing off the success of her #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Love the Way You Lie,” with Eminem by giving us a part II. In this new version she takes the lead, the hook remains that same, and then Eminem ends with 16 bars eluding to the fact that Rihanna was not simply the victim but an abuser as well. Riri talked to MTV’s Sway about the original versus part II.
