Justin Credible’s “Incredible 11 of 2011”

2011 will be known as the year of planking, the year when people turned in their BlackBerry in for an iPhone (RIP Steve Jobs), the year we lost musical greats Amy Winehouse and Heavy D and the year when Jay-Z and Beyonce produced an heir to the throne. 2011 also marked a great year in music.

Audio: Rihanna ft. Britney Spears – S&M (RIHmix)

I had to post this. If you don’t like it at first listen, don’t worry it’ll grow on you by the tenth listen.
