Female emcee Nicki Minaj was honored as the Songwriter of the Year at the 2013 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards for her hit single, "Starships", but the awkward moment came when Trina to tribute the rapper by performing "Moment For Life".

Channeling Minaj in a red get-up and blonde wig, the veteran had tongues wagging that the tribute should have been the other way around given she made her debut on the scene long before the Young Money star. That said, despite how much it says about the status of her career, you can't help but respect a female having enough confidence to honor an artist that she helped pave the way for. Watch the performance beneath:

Curvy rapper Trina takes on a new direction to match her new image on "Outer Space", featuring Kid Cadet and Vinny Venditto, from her forthcoming album.

While its hard to blame the veteran for trying to adapt to a sound that is currently dominating the charts, with "Outer Space", she simply comes up empty-handed and its mostly due to her delivery, or better yet, inability to delivery her lines with at a pace that actually coincides with the track, which was produced by Venditto.

As we have seen with the majority of her songs, the beat changes between each track, but Taylor's flow never does and it often makes the songs feel disoriented, an on-going issue that is even more apparent in her latest release. Listen below:

Singer Mya, who last experienced success in the U.S. in 2003 with 'Moodring', is plotting her return with her new single "Earthquake", featuring rapper Trina.

The new single, which hails from her album 'K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy & Simple)', showcases why the artist has not been able to maintain the success/relevance that she now has in Japan in the United States or anywhere else for that matter.

Everything from the production to the lyrics feel outdated, which is unfortunate because she really is talented and capable of delivering higher quality material.
