Big Sean is really winning! The press seems to be loving him these days and he has one of the hottest songs out right now.

[WATCH] The Return of the Kanye Rant: "The Grammys Needs To Know We Not Playing No More"

Less than 24 hours after the biggest night in music, Kanye West seems to be the one everyone is talking about. Are you surprised? Kanye West is not really known to be in an environment where all attention is not on him. Last night was the first time in six years artist hit the Grammy stage with a solo performance as well as accompanying Rihanna with Paul McCartney. The man who smiles without smiling, surely is a rebellious soul who is extremely passionate about those he believes in and what he believes in. The Grammy academy and the world of viewers was sadly mistaken if they thought Mr. West would have been on his best behavior the entire night considering his past views of the awards. The 57th Annual Grammy Awards quickly turned into the Kanye West Show for a brief moment after he almost crashed an award winner's acceptance speech.

Kanye West's "Yeezus" Goes Gold

Kanye West's 5th studio album Yeezus as gone Gold. After dropping on June 18th, the same day as J.Cole's Born Sinner, Ye took the number one spot outselling Cole in his first week. A lot of fans had mixed emotions about the record expressing they didn't like the new sound and vibes Ye gave off on the album. Personally it's not one of my favorite Kanye albums either, by hey, no one's opinion doesn't really matter to Mr. Yeezus himself (hence the album name). Kanye did not hold the number 1 spot after the first week after J.Cole's numbers spiked, and the releases of Jay Z and Wale. Kanye did manage to sell over 500,000 copies, which has been announced today that Yeezus is officially Gold. He did it without marketing, singles, tours, or an album cover, impressive. Congrats Kanye.
