The album is also Drake’s most commercially successful till date.

Oops! Kanye West New Album Not That Great

A few days ago, Kanye said his new album Waves formerly known as Swish will be the 'greatest album of all time. Erm, insiders aren't so sure...

From Page Six

Our source, who has heard tracks from “Waves,” tells us West shouldn’t be so cocky: “It’s not the greatest album ever made. The people he’s getting feedback from are not the same as when he’d go to Jay Z to get feedback. Now, it’s from Kris Jenner. The stuff he’s done lately is dumbed down because of the Kardashians, but he’s still brilliant"

Sam Smith took the first trophy of the 57th Annual Grammy Awards tonight, winning the highly-coveted award for best new artist. This year's early show included great one-liners and a handful of performances. Madonna, Sia, Kanye West, Beyonce and Ed Sheeran put in spectacular performances.

Canadian rap god, Drake failed to snitch any of the three awards he is being nominated for. May be he already made up for it.

He prefaced his awards with a brief speech, in the form of a caption: "haaaaa Grammys need to have a rap year. Run it up.
