I have to agree with T.I. being the winner of the week. Much deserved,

Lay off Phil. I think Simon does a pretty good job, being the biggest voice in the rap genre for the mag. Your suggestions seems as ludicrous as kicking out Marc Bernandin because of his sci-fi heavy posts or Jeff Jensen because of his Lost zealotry. If you don’t like it, skip it.
P.S. Apparently, you haven’t paid attention to the two Love Lockdown threads, which did exceed your ten posts standard.
I haven’t gotten around to purchasing T.I.’s new CD (or even Nas’s for that matter) though I’m not clamoring for it like T.I. vs. T.I.P off the first couple singles.

Simon, will you nominate yourself to be the PopWatch Winner of the Week when you finally post a hip-hop item that gets over 10 responses, and not 1 including me for ripping on ya?? LOL Seriously, I mean I haven’t been as avid as poster as I used to, but still everytime I check in, you got some lame post with like zero responses. It has to bother you on some level. Me? I just enjoy pointing it out!! Haha Oh, and yeah the T.I. album is good, but you need to stop trying to be the “hip white guy that knows hip-hop like its his lover”. And this is coming from another white guy who likes hip-hop.

Sorry, but I have a problem giving “Winner of the Week” (or any week) to a guy who has a year-long prison sentence due for a serious gun charge, even if it is a fake award on a blog. Obviously the hundreds of thousands of people who bought the album don’t care, but whatever.
I nominate Walton Goggins for an incredible performance on this past week’s episode of “The Shield”, the best in years. I realize, compared to T.I., “The Shield” is watched by approximately 27 people, but the show, and Goggins particularly deserves some love.
