Should anyone really get this upset over losing just a VMA? Do the VMA’s even count as a real award for music talent? Yes, videos are an important tool in an artist’s career but they aren’t everything. Television ruined the radio star.

“**** MTV. Y’all heard what the **** I said… Five nominations. I ****in’ lost to Black Eyed Peas last year, man. I’m never coming to MTV. Ya’ll find Britney. Get Britney. Get a real ****in’ artist. Get Britney Spears. I ain’t ****in’ with this pop ****. God****. Give me a ****in’ chance. Give a black man a chance. I’m tryin’ hard. I got the ****in’ #1 record. I’m tryin’ man. I don’t even get a ****in’ chance. They don’t want a ****in’ black man in that position.”

Why is CNN bashing the “Read a Book” video that aired on BET? They say they understand satire but then why are they not understanding the purpose of this video? It’s poking fun at hip-hop culture. It’s poking fun at all these types of behaviors like the way the people talk, act, dress, and look at life. It’s trying to confront these issues and point them out, not expose them to children. Children are already being exposed to all of this. The video was a wake up call to make people realize that. That there is a problem and things need to change.

Kanye recently had a super-exclusive listening premiere party for his new album. He had crazy visuals with lighting and lazer effects. Guests invited to the theatre were treated to free popcorn and boozie smoothies plus an open bar. Even cooler is that they were all given plastic sunglasses in replica of the ones he wore in his Stronger video. Tell me where I can score a pair of these? Plastic or not.

Watch R. Kelly’s whole entire Hip Hopera “Trapped in the Closet”. Don’t hate on Trapped in the Closet. It goes in so many directions and stories, but i’m sure even Kelly forgot where he was going with this. Midgets, fat white chicks, lots of guns, shootings, sex, sex, & more sex. What else would you expect from a story made by R. Kelly? Also add in lots of ooohhss and ahhhhs (standard R&B music practice) and sexy background music. What is Kelly saying about life? Anyone and everyone will cheat? Love is not sacred we’re all victims of infidelity and love affairs. Temptation is everywhere and the whole story is based on love triangles. Even admist a sex scandal the man will always deliver you more sex. That’s what you’ve got to love about this man. You’ll never change a player.

Are you kidding me? He’s got to be stupid to go after Nas? When I think of violent rappers, Nas is definitely not the first to come to mind. Nas? Nas?! Nas is rapping about the pain, the struggle, and makes motivational songs. I don’t think “gangster” or “guns” when I think of Nas. This is a bunch of crap.

Lil Mama isn’t hitting me the same way she did when she first popped out the game. I’m tired of her to be honest. I think she tries way too hard and all her songs are too poppy and candy coated. She is what..sixteen or so…so her music should be about lollipops and not about sucking them like Lil Kim but she just irritates me now. I don’t take her seriously as a rapper and it’s not because she’s a girl. Lil Mama definitely reminds me of the kids that come off of the Disney Channel. Are you sure she wasn’t an extra on Raven?
