Directed by Middy from MiddyAndDre.
Mr. West is back again with some 2011 homage to BHM.
To finish off his highly successful “Black History Month” series, T-West presents “Black History Month 2011”. While previous “Black History Month” songs have centered around shedding light on the contributions of black leaders in North American society, the final chapter showcases T-West writing a letter to all of those who he honoured in previous songs. Unfortunately, T-West faces some challenges when trying to express the amazing things that blacks are contributing in modern society. Is he able to accomplish his task? Watch the video to find out.

Rap category is pretty solid (didn’t take in the Ghettosocks) but gawd damn the R&B category is BRUTAL. WTFFF. Either our R&B singers aren’t submitting for the Junos (which is very possible) or the R&B selection committee needs a serious upgrade (which is VERY possible)…???
Rap Recording of the Year:
D-Sisive – Vaudeville
Drake – Thank Me Later
Eternia & MoSS – At Last
Ghettosocks – Treat Of The Day
Shad – TSOL
R&B/Soul Recording of the Year:
Karl Wolf – Nightlife
Keshia Chante – Test Drive
Quanteisha – Stars
Raghav – So Much feat. Kardinal Offishall
Silver (aka Solitair) – Come True feat. Kardinal Offishall
Anyways, get the full list of nominees here. Drake leads the way with 6 (album of the year, artist of the year, songwriter of the year, single of the year, rap recording of the year and the Juno fan choice award). Drizzy will also be hosting the awards show which is taking place here in Toronto (i.e. should be a crazy weekend!).
And on another note…in a year like this, they definitely need a category for Rap Single of the Year as opposed to just the one Rap Recording of the Year category (which is basically Rap Single or Rap Album). That way you could easily have a category with the likes of JD Era, Luu Breeze, Shaun Boothe, Rich Kidd, Saukrates etc…etc…etc…
