LIL'WAYNE, NICKI MINAJ RECEIVE 'TEACHER OF THE YEAR' AWARD

Two of hip hop’s biggest and brightest stars; Lil’ Wayne and Nicki Minaj have each received a ‘Teacher of the Year Award’ by a South Florida based educational company, Better Education Place.

According to the company’s CEO, Melvin El, the multi award winning artistes were immensely deserving of the award based on certain criteria passed.

These criteria include; ability to capture and maintain attention, ability to move the audience or create interaction, ability to inspire, effective use of language, use of memory devices, ability to transform behaviour or make them ‘do as you do’, and the quality of content. The last criterion however received moderate scores.

Lil’ Wayne and Nicki Minaj both had a fantastic year, with Nicki recording a milestone as 2011 rising star by Billboard and Lil Wayne recording sales and chart success with his ‘Tha Carter IV’ album.
