Now we present you with all of the other awards we handed out this week. Sidenote: All of the categories doesn’t necessarily have winners (Unless noted), some we just listed the notable artist [...]
2009 Man Of The Year: Jay-Z
In 2008 it couldn’t be denied by anybody that it was the year of Weezy. With the release of his sixth album Tha Carter III, which saw accolades such as one million first week sales (3x Platinum to date), Grammy awards for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song (“Lollipop”), and Best Rap Solo Performance (“A [...]
2009 Songs Of The Year (Staff Picks)
So here we are again. No voting. No debates. Just each staff member picking their 5 favorite songs of 2009. It seems that “Empire State Of Mind” by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys was popular with the crew as was “Forever” by Drake, Weezy, Kanye, & Em. There’s some Raekwon, some Rick Ross, and even CunninLynguists [...]
2009 Album Of The Year: Jay-Z|The Blueprint 3
I wanted to write this column because when “Off That” leaked to the internet and the first tracklisting came out, I didn’t believe it. I thought Jay had fallen off, that he had gone Kingdom Come again. Then when I finally got the whole album, it was like I ate all of my words. Sure, [...]
Certified Banger Of The Year: Rosa Acosta
If you follow the Certified Banger column, I bet you wasn’t expecting Rosa Acosta to leave with this year’s title huh? We actually never featured her but that doesn’t mean we didn’t see her. From Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” to Mike Posner’s “Drug Dealer Girl” to finally getting the cover of KING Magazine’s relaunch, [...]
2009 Mixtape Of The Year: Drake|So Far Gone
As the staff member that broke Drake to the site…ahem…It is my PLEASURE to announce his So Far Gone as nappyafro’s Mixtape Of The Year winner for 2009. If you don’t agree, let’s go over some simple facts about this mixtape. He’s nominated for a Grammy from a mixtape that came prior to any album [...]

2008 nappyafro Awards: The Rest…
Our 2nd annual nappyafro Awards week comes to a close. But , before we end this, we still got some categories to go. We still need to find out who is this year’s top producer or what was the collaboration of 2008. We also included the awards we already gave out earlier this week. Bye [...]
2008 DMF Of The Year: DMX
When I chosen to do this column, I questioned whether giving him this award would really help in the rehabilitation. However, this is nappyafro, and votes were cast and while it was close, DMX prevailed as the winner. Why you ask? The one time face of Def Jam was arrested more times than Pacman Jones! [...]
2008 Songs Of The Year (Staff Picks)
At first we were gonna do a recap this year’s most notable songs featured in our Song of the Week column. But seeing how some of the songs weren’t actually made in 2008, it really wouldn’t have worked. So instead of voting for a single “Song of the Year”, we thought; “Why not just let [...]
