LOL on the channel 2 news (right now), they just gave like a little preview for the Grammys & the guy was like LITTLE Wayne is nominated for 7 categories, but will most likely not win "album of the year", because rappers tend not to win that one.
how racist! :D
-
i'll tune in and out on it when it comes on
-
whats racist about that?
-
whats racist about that?
im just playing, it isnt racist; but it just sounds like disrespectful.
like, "pshh, rappers cant win album of the year because we (the academy) will simply not allow it."
just the vibe i got off that comment lol.

Untitled > The Cool > Paper Trail > American Gangster > Carter 3
-
1. The Four Tops (with Ne-Yo & Jamie Fox)
2. Lil Wayne
3. T.I & JT
those were the 3 best performances; with Paul McCartney as honorable mention. ;)
Wayne winning the rap album was a give, but i was pulling hard for Nas.
Robert Plant winning album of the year was straight fixed bullshit, but whatever; Coldplay got ROBBED. :-X
-
i never heard of that Robert Plant dude! lol..he won like 3
-
^he was the lead singer in Led Zepplin lol.
but the performance you heard tonight from him is not the way you want to know him anyway. :P
-

It was a roots album. Plant was notorious for his love of the blues, rockabilly, and American roots music back when he joined Led Zeppelin. That's why he finally decided to make an album that features that kind of music, and he did it with two other great lovers of the old sound. It was a phenomenal album. Definitely better than anything Coldplay is capable of making. I almost wished it wasn't even nominated it was too good for these shitty awards.
That being said it was a safe winner and not cutting edge at all, but that's what the Grammy's are all about. Pick any genre of album and look at every single Album of the year and see how many really ever broke new ground. 90% of them have no business even being among the different sound is the day I start thinking they should be taken seriously.
I'll take Infinite's top 10 albums of 08 more seriously than this year's grammys.
-
Damn that Taylor swift is sexy as fuck
-
You've never listened to led zeppelin?what's wrong with you?lol
not a rock fan at all. very narrow minded but thats me lol. rap and r&b only for the most part. occasional rock/pop song i guess.
-
TI's performance was dope. The instruments sounded far superior than the cd version.
I thought all of the nominees for best rap album was dope. I bump all the cds. Wayne deserves it. See how many times his shit got leaked? He still released a banger.
Wayne's performance was underwhelming. Robin didn't sound like he was singing at all.
Coldplay ain't all that. I don't get the love.
-

You've listened to Zep plenty of times you just don't know it. They're songs pop up everywhere.
-
TI's performance was wack... he has his studio vocals playing back behind his live voice... but he was way off. his swagger like us verse was the worst too - he was hype but skipped over half the verse, lol :P
no hate no hate. jt sounded great
-
Wow, what's this I hear about Chris Brown being arrested for assault on an unnamed woman ?? (Possibly Rihanna)
Neither Brown or Rihanna at the Grammy's..

Did it go down like this
Chris brown say "Gimme That" to Rihanna for that "Umbrella" and then said "Yo Excuse Me Miss" im gonna "Take You Down" so he slapped her from "Wall to Wall, Rihanna became "Disturbia" said he should go to "Rehab" and chris brown decided to "Run It" and told his driver to "Shut Up & Drive"
yes i was bored enough to do this ::)

that shit was just flat out awful. :-X

And who cares about neil diamond?the grammys is a popularity contest mixed with a bunch of awards given to artist that were relevant 30 years ago

Wayne "hip hop album of the year"; one of the biggest legends in music (Robert Plant), puts out some mediocre album; but dear god! its Robert Plant! he gets the award! ::)

that shit was just flat out awful. :-X
Now you know how I feel every time I hear a blatant loop of a song I love sampled by a hip hop producer and people call the guy a genius when they are mostly just ruining the song.
For the record, the Jonas Brothers did fuck up that great song. But it wasn't any worse than Jamie Fox and Neyo trying to be the Four Tops.
And who cares about neil diamond?the grammys is a popularity contest mixed with a bunch of awards given to artist that were relevant 30 years ago
Whatever, let the old guy have his fun. Even old, tired, mostly mediocre Niel Diamond is better than watching Kanye performing.

For the second time, it was a phenomenal album. Too good for the Grammys. And I'm not that big of a Zep fan to begin with, and certainly never cared for Plant's post-Zep work.

^i was feelin The Four Tops. i mean clearly not the same, but it was still a good performances in my eyes.
i barely heard any of the Plant album, but i looked up a few songs & didnt think they were all that special, but its your opinon.
also, am i the only one who didnt know Static Major passed? ???
they had that big tribute, showing who died in music this past year & he came up, i was shocked. :o

The point I was making was compared to Stevie in the 70s, the Jonas brothers butchered the song, and compared to the Tops of the 60s The Four Bottoms on that stage butchered that song.
It's more than my opinion, it's my understanding of roots music. You saying you weren't feeling Raising Sand, is like Bill O'Reilly saying he wasn't feeling Stillmatic. If you don't have a taste for the genre of music in question and never listen to it you can never tell the good from the mediocre, and never really have an opinion of the album.
That being said, you can still have a perfecty wondeful life and love of music with out ever getting into American roots music. If some DJ Tiesto house album won the award I wouldn't understand why because I have no taste for that sound.

i agree with the the first two on your list,Neyo and them killed it and i though wayne and robin thicke killed it also and was good wen the dirty dozen and all them started playin, wasnt feelin Ti.I and JTS performance and i thot that was one of the better songs on paper trail. And lol at not listening to Led Zepplelin,shame on you Luna

I'm DL'ing the album right now. the gf is a big krauss fan and I'm eager to hear the collaboration.
-
How is it BS for Raisng Sand to win Best Album when that album along with In Rainbows were the most critically acclaimed of 2007. If anything, give the Grammy's props for not forgetting those two albums since they were released just after the eligibility was over for the previous Grammy's. And shame on any list that doesn't include Radiohead's 15 Step with the USC Marching Band.

Chris Brown looking at nine years
Chris Brown is looking at nine years in prison for allegedly assaulted R&B singer Rihanna Saturday night. TMZ reports he was booked for the more serious crime of making criminal threats instead of just domestic abuse:
Law enforcement sources tell us they typically book a suspect for the most serious crime they can be charged with -- it's then up to the D.A. to file any additional charges.
Given there were allegedly visible injuries, the crime of making criminal threats is punishable by up to nine years in prison. Domestic abuse is four years.
The police report also cited Chris for assault with a deadly weapon, but TMZ has now confirmed there was no weapon. Like a gentleman, he just used his fists:
Law enforcement sources tell us even though the police report in the Chris Brown arrest refers to assault with a deadly weapon, there was no weapon involved in the alleged attack.
The police report cites Penal Code Section 245 -- Assault with a Deadly Weapon. However, we're told there was no weapon involved.
So, apparently, Chris Brown decided hitting Rihanna wasn't enough and threatened to kill her. Which probably won't have him dancing for gum commercials or Sesame Street anytime soon. Then again, I did see an episode featuring Dr. Phil, so let's not rule anything out.
UPDATE: Wrigley's has officially suspended their Doublemint gum ad campaign featuring Chris Brown.
-
^lol, what a strange guy! :D
well he is pretty much done if you think about it.
sure he is young & has tons of time left in his life, but i mean he is going to come out like late 20's & non-appealing anymore.
he wont be running the R&B scene when he gets out lol.
but we have seen TI for from life to less than a year, so i wouldnt count Chris Breezy out of only getting 2 months lol. :P
-
lol, Chris Brown ain't goin to no god damn jail and y'all know it
-
lol what an idiot, i guess he could always do what t.i did and snitch. Since id say hes lookin at 9, he'll prob get it down to about 5 months ;D
-
lol, Chris Brown ain't goin to no god damn jail and y'all know it
lol probably not, but he might as well be.
how do you make tons of songs about loving women & treating them right & now you do this to a HUGE name & beautiful girl, Rhianna? lol, hes done.
Ne-Yo is somewhere right now laughing his ass off lol.
-
MAYBE NOT 4 ALBUMS BETTER BUT HIS WAS FAR FROM ANYTHING GOOD OR AWARD WORTHY
Congratulations Wayne...you won an award for your worst album in a category with 4 albums better than yours.
-
lol R&B artists always get into scandalous shit :laugh:
As Chamillitiary Click said, why beat a beauty like Rihanna?
UPDATE: Wrigley's has officially suspended their Doublemint gum ad campaign featuring Chris Brown.
^
this is probably how he practiced beatin Rihanna.

Congratulations Wayne...you won an award for your worst album in a category with 4 albums better than yours.
actually he is right.
Nas > T.I. > Lupe > Jay-Z > Wayne (my view of there albums).
i enjoyed Wayne's album & can listen to it, but i mean it wasnt as good as the other for in terms of a rap award.
but like somebody else said, its a popularity contest. everyone in that building last night knows Wayne sold the most & has the biggest fan base & probably the biggest fan base watching it. so they probably almost felt obligated to give Wayne the award lol.
lol R&B artists always get into scandalous shit :laugh:

her hair serves a pratical purpose though to cover up her forehead. im not really hating on the girl, she's just a talentless celebrity bitch with a tight ass.

haha ya heard

haha getting beat up by chris brown = sad sad day for that man
it was a woman lol
haha fuck thats sad, but i shoula know that chris brown wasnt beatin up no dudes loll
I know Chris wanted 2 beat down his former stepfather for beating his mother. Shoot, the way Chris was getting paid, he could afford 2 pay a couple of thugs 2 beat the shit out of him. Shoulda done that & joined them in it instead of beating Riahnna. Another fuckup :grumpy:
-
UPDATE: Wrigley's has officially suspended their Doublemint gum ad campaign featuring Chris Brown.
so when is that goin in effect? cuz i saw it last night.
