Lupe doesnt want to "Dumb It Down"


LUPE FIASCO - DUMB IT DOWN
Uploaded by JNUELZ


Now i dont kno if this is Lupes Official first single or what, u gotta keep it locked to Nah Right for alla that there..but i kno this track is from his upcoming album "The Cool" set to release December 11th....I absolutely love the video AND the track...its hillarious...Lupes talent, or the message hes delivering, isnt sacrificed for a few cheap laughs here and there...(QQN @ Luda) ...but if u listen to it, Lupe is speaking nothing but the truth and thats what makes it as funny as it is, and sad...

Judging by the way the video looks, his Label figured they should start payin' Lupe like he's weighin'....which isnt much....But look at lupe, doesnt he strike u as that boy growin up in your neighborhood that was always dirty and eatin an icecream? that either smelled like piss or was musty, depending on what day u caught him on?...oddly enough he still kinda looks that way :-/

Im just sayin...

ewwwww

Altho they both look very wrong in their own right, ive thought these 2 have looked alike for a minute now...Fergie, thanks to her many years of being a real life extra in New Jack City as crack whore #2, if ya get my drift...and Carrot top, thanks to being a...whatever the fuck he is... these two look A MESS...

Yea today is a slow news day...well atleast the news i give a shit about...

Mariah's "Sweet Soul Odyssey"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

This is what i like to see dammit...some info!...apperently Mariah's new album will be entitled "Sweet Soul Odyssey" and have production from the likes of Swizz Beats, Bryan Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri and Will.I.Am to name a few...head on over to Bits and Pieces to read the full article...

I personally CANT WAIT to hear new material from Mariah, especially what shes doing with WIll.I.Am...i kinda can already tell what the material will sound like on tracks produced by Swizz and Bryan and some of the other producers that she worked with during the MIMI recording session...Switching gears to a different topic, but still MIMI related..heres the commercial for her new fragrance "M by Mariah Carey"...has anyone actually smelled it yet? all these artist come out with Perfumes and colognes and half the time they smell like hotdog water and cat piss...i hope this isnt the case with Mariah..but knowin her crazy ass a botttle of water with glitter sprinkled inside of it would probably smell divine

Mary J Blige - Just Fine (full CDQ)

So here is the FULL version of the snippet i posted up a few days ago called "Just Fine" anddd it turns out that this will be her First single...at first when i heard this news i was worried because judging from the snippet, i wasnt blown away...but after listening to the full track i must admit im in love, the beat turns into something fun and infectious and when the horns come in on the breakdown its just magic... Taking it for what it is and not looking at it as a song thats NOT a "my life", or an "all that i can say"...it grows on you and the feel good vibes make you feel....well...good....This is the upbeat, bouncy kind of sound from Mary thats all its own (u can tell shes not trying to recreate an old vibe or earlier sound of hers like she tried with Love @ first sight)... I aint mad at her for switchin it up, not one bit...she could have came back with a piano driven Brian Michael Cox song, but it would have been too Breakthroughish (and as a fan, i want PROGRESSION) or she could have done a sassy midtemp joint (I Can Love You anyone?) but in all honesty, Keyshia and Let It Go got that pretty much on lock (Legends dont strive to compete with the lesser folk) So im diggin this, with a fuckin shovel...Now pardon me while i go vacuum the floor or somethin (TELL ME THIS AINT SOME GOOD HOUSE CLEANIN MUSIC!?!?! )

American Gangster Album Cover

I kno you've ALL seen Jays supposed Album Cover for the upcoming "American Gangster"...thank God the album cover is better than the first single, altho both are a bit boring...But u kno what, Jay has always had pretty fierce album covers for a rapper (except for this one here ...i dont blame him, i blame the person with photoshop that clearly didnt like him)... Thank God he doesnt believe in the bedazzled fonts and golden eagle Logos like some folks...

Fall Music Showdown

A weave just isnt a weave without a High Powered Fan
USA today Broke Down upcoming releases and put them against each other in a Kanye vs 50 style...None of the albums are coming out on the exact same day as the other artist their put up against, but they put artist against each other according to their Genre and its a cool lil read to get the lowdown on some of their albums comin out, so why the hell not....But if u will see Mariah Vs Celine part you will see that MIMIs album comes out in December now (Dec 3 to be exact), as opposed to the original November date that would have put her against Mary...Told You So...

Lookin Good in 'The City'

What Was Will.I.Am thinking? Will.I.Am - Songs About Girls Review

U kno u want ALL OF DIS!...
Now when i first heard "I got it from my mama", the first single from "Songs about Girls", i almost turned in my music lovers card and dug a hole to throw myself in it...i thought it was such a disgusting display of talent from a man that i KNOW was capable of so much MORE! (HE PRODUCED LETS ROCK BY CHRISETTE MICHELE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!)...the direction i thought will would go in for his solo project would be that one different from the BEP(after fergie, ofcourse) sound that gets ANNOYING after awhile....but when i heard His first single i seen that wasnt the case, much to my disappointment....

BUT much to my surprise, i enjoy...no...i like...NO...i LOVE..a good majority of the songs on "Songs about Girls"...because he takes all the GOOD from the new found BEP sound..the infectious beats, the simple hooks and leaves all the SILLYNESS and CORNYNESS that tends to go along with current Black Eyed Peas Tracks...although still not the direction i was hoping he would go in (majority of the songs are light hearted, ass shaking, my humps type stuff eithout yanno..being stupid) I must admit iam still feeling this album, taking it for what it is and enjoying it...is he trying to save the world?, inspire someone to end world hunger?, or even talk about anything really relevant in any of his songs? no not really..but dammit if they arent infectious, fun and happy.... and they dont even leave u with a guilty taste in your mouth!!!! (u kno that..."should i tell people i like this album?" feeling)....Songs like "Over", "Heartbreaker" and "Impatient" makes it virtually impossible for you to keep still and your speakers on a reasonable sound level, while "Fantastic" gives you a feel good vibe that makes you want to be...yanno...sociable...and i think thats what music is suppose to do, make you get a feeling, an emotion, a vibe that u just cant shake and u just carry through out the day. Thats one of the main points "Songs about Girls" makes...

I think before i even heard this album i wanted to like it, because i LOVE what will.i.am does and have done in the past, when hes not catering to the Laguna Beach crowd (Dont Funk With My Heart anyone?) but after hearing that first single all hopes were shattered, so i went into this album the biggest sceptic and it was a pleasant surprise and im sure it will be for you...if you want a easy breezy album that gives your speakers a work out and induces a head nod and a foot tap then this album is for you...i think for those who purchased Keyshia or Jill (ONE OF THE HOTTEST THIS YEAR) than this will be a good album for you when your not in a "Crown Royal on Ice" kind of mood...

I Give "Songs about Girls" 3 1/2 Gold records out of 5....just because im sure hes only gonna sell that much, i mean the promotion for this album has SUCKED!!!

Mary J. Blige - "Just Fine" snippet

She on her Grown Woman

Mary J Blige - Just Fine(snippet)

Heres a snippet of a song called "Just Fine" from Mary's upcoming album called Growing Pains...now i dont kno for sure if this track is making the album...from what i hear on the sample i would be mad one bit if it is...sounds like a fun lil upbeat track she could throw at the end of the album (like a let no man put asuner from the MARY album)....Thats the direction im hoping mary takes with this album, i mean i LOVED the Breakthrough (truly one of the best R&b album in YEARS and was truly a BREAKTHROUGH for her) and Mary can do NO WRONG in my eyes, but the whole "Im a po black girl from yonkers that found love, found heartbreak, found rocks, then found kendu God" routine is played...and i dont think her fans, or stans (THAAAAAATS ME!) will take her pretendin like she goin through rough times like its 94 or her trying to recreate that old classic sound (altho i still LOVED love and life, see..told u mary can do NO WRONG in my eyes)...so i wanna see some growth, and im extremely curious to see what direction shes going in with this album ....But again, id love to see some "Mary" type material this time around...when i think of mary j blige i think of "Your Child" and "The Love I never Had" more so than "family Affair" and even " Be without you"...so im hopin Mary comes out and reminds those who tryin to snatch that crown WHY shes the QUEEN...as if sellin 730,000 units in her first week of sales didnt jog their memory enough...

THANKS to Showtime over at TheTalkOfTheTown for givin me the heads up on this one!!!!!

Why this isnt her album cover over that other mess , i honestly cant tell u...but i digress....


Jlo performed her new single "Do it Well" on a Britain chat show the other day and made it pretty clear, without saying it, that her ass is knocked up. Jennifer performing a heavy choreographed song while doin NOTHING but just standing there, in what resembles a throw rug from IKEA, u draw ur own conclusions....

Jlo's camp and Zombie #2 from the Resident Evil movie Marc Anthony put out a statement that she is NOT pregnant...and one thing i dont understand is why celebs lie about being pregnant, especially when u can TELL when someones pregnant eventually...if u gone lie about anything, make it an STD or somethin hell...but either way i could give a shit...Baby or the clap...congrats Jlo

Not So Magical...

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Now i KNO youve all heard that JayZ is releasing a concept album inspired by the upcoming overhyped,underwelming,everyblackmansfavoritenewmovie movie American Gangster. The album will carry the same name and is scheduled to be released around the same time as the movie... My 2 cents on the song? ive NEVER liked Jay on a Neptune pharell beat.....Pharrell needs to take a niceeeeeeeee longgggggggggggggg nap and dream of talent, because right now thats what hes lacking...or could it be chad? the man who im SURE was the real brains behind anything that was magical that had the neptunes stamp on it? either way im not sure...but Jay is back, hopefully his sales will be too....

Jay-Z Ft. Pharrell - Blue Magic

Check out the Trailer for the "Blue Magic" music video here...I was galivanting around my new fav blog SnowDayMusic and came across it....im mad i dont see Pharrell tho!! he screams hood to me...well more like he sings it in a poor mans falsetto...but hood none the less!

Rhythmic Review: Jill Scott - The Real Thing

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I was never crazy about the terms Neo-soul or Grown Folks Music, I much rather refer to those 2 as SOUL and GOOD music, with yanno...actual lyrics that mean something and actual instruments that play in the background...It was always funny to me how something so authentic and organic was the one that required a sub category while the artificial and manufactured didn't..But after listening to "The Real Thing" i kinda thought to myself...."I wouldn't want Jill to be grouped with that other bullshit ANYWAY"

Real Thing is Jill's 3rd studio album since her 2004 effort "Beautifully Human", and for many who have listened would argue that this its her best since her CLASSIC 2000 debut "Who is Jill Scott"...why? you ask... Jill brings back the sass thats why! her first single "Hate on me" is the 2007 upgrade to "gettin in the way" in many ways, clearly not for the obvious reasons, but it brings back a Jill we all knew and loved, that sadly didn't show in Beautifully human, aswell as an overall feel of cohesiveness (admit, BH was was kind of all over the place). The song "Only you" also Jogs the memory of vintage Jill, with its laid back delivery and melodic piano.

With recent personal changes in Jill's life (shes divorced from her husband who inspired many of the classic tracks from her debut album) As a fan i expected for it to effect her sound in some way.... but that hasnt gotten her down one bit, its gotten her HORNY...someone please WIPE HER DOWN!...On songs like "Crown Royal" where she says "Your hands on my hips pull me right back to you, i catch that thrust give it right back to you, your in me so deep im breathin for you". With lyrics like this, it a pretty good indication that shes not sittin at home cryin while listening to the best of Phyllis Hyman. "All I" carries on the sensual mature vibe of crown royal and shows that this album, altho not necessarily considered "grown folks music" is definitely directed toward those who can appreciate not only good music but know what the hell shes talking about!! (and NO, lamont passin u a "do u like me? yes or no" note in homeroom doesnt mean uve experienced the ups and downs of love)

The one (of MANY) stand out tracks for me on the album is "Celibacy Blues" which is a bluesy type of track that delivers some sexual innuendos beautifully, without making you feel all....nasty, and shows off Jill's talent and love for writing (any one that can fit "he aint scratchin it right" in a song and have it NOT sound like a Crime Mob track should get some sort of award). "Epiphany" is delivered with a spoken word style, that Jill is genius, over a heavy percussive beat thats infectious and provides the first half of the album a slight upbeat rejuvenation and then slides into everyones current favorite "My Love". This song is reason enough to buy the album, but more so than anything shows the versatility in Jills talent, being able to display the power of love ("he loves me" anyone?) aswell as showing off what happens when things go south, SUCCESSFULLY. We all kno thats not an easy feat for EVERYONE, some cant do it AT ALL, while some can..but not too well (QQN @ Mary)...All in all i think that this album is one of the far more superior SOUL albums of the year...nothing neo, grown or sub category about it, pure vintage soul at its finest with every intention to make you love it, and love.... love.


I give "The Real Thing" 4 1/2 hotcombs out of 5...just because of that damn album cover

Now head over to VH1s The Leak and take a listen to "The Real Thing" for yourself..and
remember the album is In stores September 25th

Rhythmic Review: Keyshia Cole - Just Like You

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Now im no Rich from FourFour when it comes to writing a music review, and ive never written one before..BUT i do have ears and a love for music....so i can throw my 2 cents out there to you guys when it comes to a new album im looking forward to, or atleast give abit of a damn about, to take a listen to it...so here goes...

Upon first listen to "Just Like You" your knocked upside the head with the obvious growth of Keyshia, vocally that is....No she isnt on some Jennifer Holiday, or even Hudson, type shit...but shes definitely learned that she doesnt have to scream to get her point across, or that LOUD doesnt necessarily mean u can "sang"... in her case, less is DEFINITELY more this time around...A perfect example of this is her song "Work It Out" and most of all "Fallin Out"(produced by soulshock) Keyshia shines on this, showing that her more subdued tone, compared to a say "Love", is a pleasant one that doesnt wear out its welcome after 30 seconds... Another stand out for me is the track "I Remember" its a sassy ballad that reminds me of nothing more than "Love" dressed up in its sunday's best...but without all of the special Olympics vocal aerobatics that u either loved or hated, which in this case is good because u can focus on not only the beautiful display of keyshias voice, on this song, but the actual music itself, which isnt too shabby...

Like any other R&B album now a days, Just Like You does have its forgettable, or downright worthless, tracks that could have been left on the cutting room floor. Mainly the head scratch inducing "Didnt I Tell You" featuring Tooshort, now i understand Keyshia is being promoted as your run of the mill girl u see at the swap meet cursin someone out over her botched pedicure and french tip job...BUT i feel the song is out of place with the rest of the album, and any other album made after 2004 for that matter...Other forgettables include "Heaven Sent" and "Just Like You"

Now down to the bedazzled elephant in the room...The comparisons to Mary J. Blige...ofcourse theres similarities between the 2, and with songs like "Losing You" and "Give Me More" (that sounds like it was directly snatched from a scrapped 'Whats the 411' session) I dont think Keyshia has a problem with it at all... Although Keyshia does bring her own vibe to this album more so than the last, the Mary moments this time around are blatantly OBVIOUS (the ladida dada in "Give me More" is IDENTICAL to that of the song "My Life" for fuck sakes!)...but i have a feeling with more time that passes Keyshia will mold a sound thats all her own, beautifully polished and sparkly, but for now shes definitely following in the footsteps of a Legend..."Just Like You" takes me back to when R&B albums were about the ALBUM and not just the occasional hot single here and there on a record, and thats where this album shines.... In due time i believe keyshia will wander off and make footsteps all her own, (im sure those footsteps will be somewhere around ur nearest liquor store) but until then im anxiously waiting...

I give "Just Like You" 3 jars of Clear Ice out of 5...just because she so damn classy, now go touch up them baby hairs



Now take a listen and decide for yourself on BETs Transmission and remember... "Just Like You" hits stores September 25th

Did U Realize, That U Are a Champion in Their Eyes

They Leather SO Soft

As u all may have heard/read/foreseen Kanye West has debuted at NUMBER 1 on the Billboard 200 this week, showin 50 whos the top and whos the bottom by pushin 957,000 copies to 50's 691,000 copies. I must admit that this is a MUCH wider margin than i thought it was going to be..congrats to Kanye, he truly deserves it...that album is all ive been bumpin(untill Jill drops on Tuesday! HOLLER)....This bit of information from Billboard.com made me giggle abit, check it out....

"The last album to move at least that many was, ironically, "The Massacre" by 50 Cent in 2005, with 1.1 million. Chesney's "Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates" (BNA/Sony BMG Nashville) also kicks off with a big number, moving 387,000 to debut No. 3. It's the largest sales week for a country album since the May 2006 arrival of Dixie Chicks' "Taking the Long Way," which opened with 526,000 copies. "

50s first album "Get Dick Rich, Or Die Tryin" Sold over 800,000 in its first week in stores and was followed by the "The Massacre" which did 1.1 mil...NOW "Curtis" is released and pushed 691,000....Hmmm now does this show a decline in people giving a shit about 50? or has his music changed so much that its turning people away? well i think 50 put it best himself.....

"Damn Homie, In high school you was the man homie, Fuck happened to you?"

Indeed 50....indeed....now im just a blogger, so dont be sendin Tony Yayo roamin around my neighborhood wit his pimp hand all strong and shit, give him a coloring book instead...I kno the nigga aint got shit else to do

Twista Ft. Feist - Well Its Time

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Now usually i could give a hot shit about a new Twista track, 9but this one is different..its featuring (well sorta) one of the better artist ive heard in YEARS...Kanye produced the track and sampled Feist's song called "gatekeeper" for the beat.. This song is a unreleased track from Twistas new album "Who gives a shit what its called, it will be off the charts in a month anyway".....Feist has had a song of hers played on Greys Anatomy (i think im the only person that doesnt watch that show, so maybe you'll remember her from there)....but whats fiercer than the sample u ask?.... the actual song...so hit up Feist's myspace and take a listen to her various tracks...below u can check out a video of hers entitled "1234" which happens to be one of my FAVORITE videos of the year

Happy Birthday!....u snatch

Happy Birthday u snatch

Ok so i kno u guys are wondering "Is this some new singer?!?!" or "who the fuck is this hoe and why should i care!?!?!"...NO! although she may look like she can belt out a note that would push beyonces wig back...shes none of the above...shes my bestfriend!...and today is her BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!....she threatened me told me i should give her a shout out for her Bday!...and i thought its the VERY LEAST i could do...especially since the Financial Aid check is late (STEP UP YO GAME FAFSA!) so presents is short this year....but her name is Delania and u guys can hit her up on her Myspace or the comment section to send her alil...Birthday love.

Happy Birthday to ALL the virgos!!!!!!!

Queen of the Talentless...

Before there were Cassie...before there were Rihanna....there was Ashanti....the original bitch that made u wonder "who the hell did she blow to get a contract?"...well after dropping her HUGE debut, she came out with 2 albums that were horrible and single after single that went into one ear and out the other (although Rain On Me was my shit)...shes back with her fourth album "I still matter, dont I?" The Declaration"...which is dropping Dec. 4th...

Click and Listen..if u DARE

Rumored to be her first single...This masterpiece is called "Hey baby (after the club)" and was produced by Mario Winans, who clearly doesnt give a shit...This reminds me of my old post i did a few weeks back that i CLEARLY should have made him apart of...long story short, the track sounds exactly like "Last Night" by Diddy and Keykey Cole....I hope Ashanti didnt waste her best head game on that nigga for this mess here

But judge for yourselfs and give me YOUR opinions

Nigga Please...

According to ContactMusic Sean Kingston claims that he's being stalked by some girl and is "terrified"...he's quoted as saying "There is one girl who somehow always knows when I'm coming in town and what hotel I am staying in and she just appears everywhere. "It's crazy scary because I have no idea how she finds out where I'm going to be."

Sorry Gravyboat Bob, but im afraid thats not a fan...its a nutritionist tryna Save A Life... either that or my secret diaries have been read and its a sniper tryna do the right thing

The Queen vs. The Voice

Fierce Off

The Buzz in the Blogworld is that Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige will release their albums on the same day, November 20th...Mary's album is titled "Growing Pains" and Mariah's is yet to have a title, which brings me to this....Mary already has an album title and the announcement of her release has recently been made. Mary's been making appearances (The VMAS for example) to get her face back out there, much like any other artist would do when a release is approaching, its only a matter of time before a single is released...now Mariah on the other hand has been laying low and has been mum about anything dealing with her album. The actual 20th release date was announced MONTHS ago before she was even deep into the recording process, which leads me to believe that MIMI will have a pushback to a date where she can sufficiently promote the album, instead of rushing to get it done and THEN half assing the promotion to it...as much as i would LOVE a clash of the divas ( i love both of these bishes like i love cake) but i doubt DefJam would do Mariah like that, ESPECIALLY after the huge success of MIMI...things will be done RIGHT....smh, i kno i just broke the heart of a little gay youth with his heart set on a Fierce off between these 2...sorry young one, but im just givin my 2 cents

'As I Am' Album Cover

I was galivanting on the blog stroll and came across Alicia Keys' album cover for her album 'As I Am', set to release November 13th. I think its an absolutely beautiful cover..a gorgeous picture of a gorgeous girl, nice, simple and....mildly scary (hey, im just bein honest..at a quick glance tell me u dont get a creepy Michael Jackson vibe??)she could have saved the freaky "alicia keys" font...I understand shes going for a throwback feel with the whole cover and the font, but that shit was ugly back in the day and its ugly now...but i aint mad atcha Ms Keys, I definately shall be purchasing

Head on over to Toyas World and take a gander at some new Promo pics from Alicias upcoming album, I agree with toya, theyre very natural and pretty, who knew u could still use those words together when referring to an R&B singer?

Jennifer Lopez iz Pregnant

Jlo was recently spotted at her Just Sweet show (ladies, what in the hell ever happened to her Jlo clothing line) lookin all kinds of knocked up...Now if she was a recording artist that actually had...vocal talent...i wouldnt stress it...but considering how ive heard obese women weezing sound more harmonious and melodic than Jennifer's singing.... im gonna go into Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost mode....Jlo...you in trouble, girl! ... theres no way she can shake and shimmy her ass (the only thing shes DAMN good at) with a little marc anthony galivanting inside of her...womp womp to the comeback i guess...damn shame too, "Do It Well" is my shit...guess shes gonna have to display that heavenly voice of hers and release a ground shaking, gospel inspired power ballad as her second single...*holds in laughter*...but yanno if she is, congrats and all that good stuff, children are blessings and should be celebrated as such

Jesus be a back up plan

I cant wait to see the movie, ive always been a BIG sex and the city fan..and with Jennifer being added to the cast im looking forword to it even more.

I Want My MTV 2 HOURS BACK!



I Want My MTV...about as much as i want a kidney stone
The Mtv awards last night was a complete disaster,u kno shit is bad when a Chris Brown performance is one of the most memoriable moments of the night....As the credits scrolled across the screen and the Mtv news correspondents pretended that the show was a success (Sway u kno that was some bullshit, dont front) I thought to myself...when did the mtv awards become one of THE WORST award shows on television? (and yes, this years awards was by far the worst award show ive seen in the past 5 years, or more) Then it hit me...the mtv awards are no longer about the awards..but are more focused on the performances, hince them giving out about 3 awards last night (2 categories not even makin sense, what next? best eyeshadow in a music video??) and not having a host in the past 4 years (sorry Jack Black, but if u hosted last year, so did I)...BUT! where MTV fell short this year was the lack of successful performances!...if the show isnt gonna be about the awards and watching people look like a fucking moron on stage collecting their awards, than make sure the performances are MAGICAL...and the only thing magical last night was the magically delicious moment between Kanye West and 50cent...
I can taste the rainbow...cant you?
Britney opened up the show looking like a coked up bag of russed potatos...some one get that hoe a lacefront, STAT!...In one of of my older post i was assaulted by a few Britney stans that felt that my words about Britney going up against Alicia was a harsh, racially motivated thing...no not really, considering i own both britney and alicia albums...BUT iam a man that uses common sense, britney simply isnt ready for a comeback, and judging from last night..could give a shit about having one...i would say "I told u so" but thats not me, im just gonna tell u guys to get a nice tall glass of HUSH IT with a nice yummy STFU sandwich...IS YA IS YA IS YA HUNGRAY!??!?..btw perezhilton.com is that way>>>>>>>>>>> ...thanks in advance, because i shant be bothered!

The rest of the night was a big blur, or i just didnt give too much of a shit about it to remember it..but what i do remember were the lackluster performances(can u even consider them performances since we only seen about 30 seconds of them?) before and after the commercials from such monumental power acts like Akon, Soulja Boy, and some rock groups that will most like be forgotten by next month....

Chris brown's Remedial Roy's performance was a special one, he showed that aslong as u can shuck and jive u can completely have no vocal talent, or even lip sync correctly...yes the boy danced his ass off, but i think at one point he just moved his mouth up and down rather than attempt to say the words he clearly wasnt singing...i think i seen alil drool come out too....UHHH DUHH DUHHHH!!
As the show went on, white folks decided to act their color! ( sorry, i just had to go for it) and Kidrock and Tommy Lee got into a scuffle, my guess is that they blamed the other for the STD im sure they both caught from Pamela Anderson... this all happened during Alicia Keys performance...damn the way they were actin u could swear up and down Alicia was performin We Some Headbustas or some shit

While were on the topic of Ms Alicia, I must say that the single "No One" has grown on me, like i knew it would...last night her performance was a favorite of mine, not because shes BLACK or because shes an R&B singer..but because it was GOOD, i thoroughly enjoyed when she went into George Michaels "Freedom"...she was SINGING and the performance was entertaining without her running all over the stage with her poon showin and her tongue hangin out her mouth... i can forgive her performance outfit...it was very Glitter whore meets Amazon of the evening...i have no idea who was behind it, im just gonna blame Tina Knowles....that bitch made people think its cool to look like they were raped by a bedazzler




As for the rest of the night...Rihanna reminded everyone that she is best viewed when the tv is on MUTE Jennifer Hudson in her Sundays Laundry Day best was rocking something that looked like it was picked out by Andre Leon Tally, because clearly he secretly hates her ass...
Beyonce showed up and figured she'd dress up as an Oscar award... because she'll actually turn into one before she ever recieves oneLil mama.... someone please assassinate this hoe...pull out ur sniper kit and DO THE RIGHT THING!Mary J. Showed up looking fabulous...i just like that Wig..its very "shank a bitch" chicAnd all i gotta say about this is pic of Dr Dre is...Thank God for Jesus and steroids
