We've covered some of the year's best pop and indie music, along with a few breakthrough releases, but if you like your songs with swagger, then chances are you had these hip-hop albums in constant rotation in 2010. Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Eminem's Recovery both received critical acclaim and radio play, but they're not the only fan favorites. Take a look through this year's offerings, and vote for your top pick!

In need of some new Summer jams to crank with the windows rolled down?

In need of some new Summer jams to crank with the windows rolled down? Look no further — it's Tuesday and I've got you covered on what tunes are worth your spending money.

Love goddess: After more than 20 years in the biz, Kylie Minogue keeps the party going with her latest album Aphrodite. Full of frenetic pop that never slows, it's what Minogue does best, and she knows it, boldly stating, "I am the original" on the title song. Though the tracks make for a nice collection of upbeat, dance-worthy love tunes, as a whole, they're a bit monotonous. That complaint aside, I'm liking "Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel the Love)" and "Get Outta My Way."

On his own: The half of Outkast that's not Andre 3000, Big Boi, hits us with his first solo album today, Sir Luscious Left Foot . . . The Son of Chico Dusty. That title is quite the mouthful, and his song titles are equally entrancing, like "Daddy Fat Sax." Silly name aside, it's a groove worthy of any of Outkast's hits, as is "Shutterbug," which boasts Boi's stellar rap skills. Finally, my favorite is "Be Still," Big Boi's collaboration with Janelle Monae, a soulful marriage of their hip-hop styles.

Things That Make Me Go Hmm: The Big Boi Ballet

I will go ahead and say that while I appreciate the beauty and skill that goes into ballet I'm not exactly a season ticket holder.

I will go ahead and say that while I appreciate the beauty and skill that goes into ballet I'm not exactly a season ticket holder. However, a little news item recently caught my attention and it sounds like the kind of ballet I could really get into.

Billboard.biz is reporting that Outkast's Big Boi is partnering with the Atlanta Ballet for a show called Big that will "fuse the Atlanta Ballet's visual movements with Big Boi's music." Some of Big Boi's songs that will be included in the "collaborative piece" are “Morris Brown” from the Idlewild soundtrack, "Church" and "Bombs Over Baghdad."

Check out the Atlanta Ballet's web site to see a preview of this project and for more information on how to buy tickets. I'm jealous of any of you Atlanta folks who get to see this live, it looks so interesting.

What do you guys think? Does hip-hop and ballet sound like a winning combination?

Quite a random array of celebrities strolled the green carpet for the premiere of Who's Your Caddy in LA last night. Eddie played no part in the making of the film as far as we can tell, but that didn't stop him from posing happily with his girlfriend Tracey Edmonds. We're thinking that Eddie should be a little more scared than smiley - his ex girlfriend and mother of his child, Mel B, has just hired Gloria Allred to represent her in her case against him. Considering Gloria's cutthroat reputation paired with DNA evidence that Eddie is the baby's father, we're thinking this will be an easy win for Mel B.
