Nobel Prize
How could someone who wrote popular music win such a prestigious award as a Nobel Prize? The answer is that musical lyrics are a type of literature, which is one of the six Nobel Prize categories - the others being chemistry, peace, physics, physiology/medicine, and economics, the latter of which was added in 1968.

R. Kelly: Fallen King of R&B Geniuses Do Dumb *hit Too
When you talk about a musical genius R.Kelly is at the very top of any list new or old. No one could match his speed when it came to recording hit records and I say recording because he was functionally illiterate and could not read or write without help. That fact only adds to legend of his genius in the artistry of song. Kelly could not control his foolish urge for young girls when he could have had just about any adult woman of which he did but he enjoyed young girls more because in his mind they were more pure. His stupid fantasy of being with young girls has possibly put an end to the most brilliant rhythm and blues soul music the planet has ever known or ever will hear again. He recorded and had music written for the most prestigious and powerful musical icons the in world. Whitney Houston and Micheal Jackson are two artists that got instant hits from him. It was like R.Kelly was having outer body experience and we all got to witness true greatness every time he touched a microphone. His kind will never be found again and he has disgraced and sorely offended his fans and parents of young girls across the globe. He is the embodiment and living evidence that geniuses do dumb *hit too.

Why I Sometimes Regret Being Famous - Simi
Simi gets honest about fame. Fame is very alluring to all of us who don't have it and look at it from the outside looking in. From the glitz and glam of red carpet to fashion spreads, music videos, television shows, media attention, fan love, it looks very alluring. Many people want to be famous. In fact, statistics show that these days, when asked, a lot more younger people said that they want to be famous when they grow up than younger people from past years.

Tupac: Lord of Bringing Drama You Touch Me I’m At You!!!
Tupac is the most misoverstood artist in music history because most people do not get why he grew to be so combative and controversial. He is probably one of the most betrayed people in history by those who he once called friends. It was mostly out of their petty jealousy. Tupac was once attacked and nearly killed by a group that he formed and grew up with in Baltimore. But before all of that he moved to the west coast to Oakland as a teenager in a crack infested community where he dropped out of high school, sold drugs, but continued to develop his craft. He ended up getting his shot to become a member of the group of legendary old school hip-hop group “The Digital Underground.” There are many layers the genius of Tupac and there’s not enough words to do him justice but the meat of why he became the only true outlaw of hip-hop will be demonstrated in this illustration.

Timbaland, wanna collab?
“If at first you don’t succeed, brush yourself off and try again.” - Aaliyah As an independent artist-entrepreneur, these are words I live by. I first heard them beautifully sung by a voice like no other, the late great Aaliyah in her song “Try Again” from her self-titled album Aaliyah. At that point, I was a child, so I didn’t understand the intricacies of the music industry and the role of the songwriters and producers behind the scenes. So as much as I admire and love Aaliyah, this piece is not about her, it’s about the producer and co-writer behind the song, Timbaland.

Why Harry Styles Is the Most Famous One Direction Member
For someone who used to be in a boy band, Harry Styles does not make many public appearances. Even the "Behind the Scenes" videos for his music videos don't show much of his personalty. The "Golden" BTS video shows Harry talking only at the end, when he waves goodbye to fans gathered around the set. The rest of the video simply shows shots of the production, set to the song. No talking. No interviews or explanations. Just Harry running around.

She grew up in a three-bedroom bungalow in Bridgetown and sold clothes with her father in a stall on the street. Her childhood was deeply affected by her father's addictions, which contributed to her parents' strained marriage. Research states that Rihanna's father used to physically abuse her mother, and Rihanna would try to get in between them to break up fights. Rihanna was an army cadet in a sub-military program. Although she initially wanted to graduate from high school, she chose to pursue a musical career instead.
