Every year, critics get together and hold a premature funeral for hip-hop. Then, people like me are forced to sit here and counter with articles on why hip-hop is just a form of entertainment and grossly misrepresented in the media and totally misunderstood by mainstream America and allathat. Well, guess what? I'm tired of playing that game. So, rather than defend the culture endlessly, I've compiled a list of 100 ways to save hip-hop. These suggestions apply to artists, DJs, journalists, record labels, and fans. Pick the ones that apply to you and behave accordingly.

After a month of fan voting, Megadeth emerged victorious in two big categories in the 2011 Loudwire Music Awards — Metal Album of the Year and Metal Song of the Year. The veteran act earned the Metal Album of the Year victory for their 13th album, appropriately titled ‘TH1RT3EN.’ They beat out some fellow heavy hitters for the award, including Anthrax, Children of Bodom, Machine Head and Mastodon. In the Metal Song of the Year category, Megadeth’s ‘Public Enemy No. 1′ defeated tunes by Anthrax, Machine Head, Mastodon and Trivium. While 2011 was a great year for Megadeth, 2012 promises to be even bigger, as the band is set to headline the Gigantour with support from Motorhead, Lacuna Coil and Volbeat.

Congrats to Megadeth on winning Metal Album of the Year and Metal Song of the Year in the 2011 Loudwire Music Awards! Next: Live Act of the Year 2011 Metal Album of the Year (Poll Closed) Drumbot.

Simon Cowell is to launch an X Factor style TV show to find the next big DJ. He has teamed up with Jada Pinket Smith to start work on the show, which so far does not have a name. At this time Mixmag is unsure whether the man known for wearing nipple-hugging trousers is going to call it 'Decks Factor' or not, but we do know that Smith's production company Overbrook today issued a statement confirming the plan.

In the statement Cowell said: "DJ’s are the new rock stars, it feels like the right time to make this show.” Could this be the end of dance music as we know it? Is Cowell about to breed a new generation of mainstream dubstep DJs? Will the judging panel feature Afrojack and Paris Hilton? More grim details will no doubt follow shortly.
