everyone talking about nas is looking attentin are fuckin stupid.
what he’s doing is what hiphop has been missing. talking about issue sin the world, community etc

but yall rather hear trach from jay like “amercian gangster and kingdom come”

nas’s subject matter has always been on point. hiphop was about pushing the line. and yall have gotten used to that not happening b/c of the radio era in hiphop that hit in 99

shut up clowns

Um, Nas…….

WHAT THE F*CK DOES IRAQ, OR CHINA HAVE TO DO WITH THE WORD N*GGER?

Rambling idiotic fuckery at it’s best.

I like Kanye and he is a really talented brother but his arrogance is still getting the best of him. There is no doubt that he wanted to and should have given tribute to his mother - but that should have been the first thing on his mind instead of al of the babbling about Common not coming out the same year as he does (as if to say, Common doesn’t stand a chance against him).

And then to go on to say if Amy or whoever else wins album of the year - he deserves it too. C’mon now, you know you have the same time as everybody else - start off with you tribute to your Mom - it seems as if he was babbling long enough to get to the music playing on him so he could make that lil’ scene. He doesn’t need the antics - let your talent speak for you.

I knew folk would make a big deal out of the Jay Z/Rhianna stage thing — it was no big thing. Why wouldn’t he be on stage with her - his name on that Grammy too. And she knows he was the only reason she got there. And yes he was loving it, because he is no longer Jay Z the rapper, but Sean Carter the businessman. Few years ago he was boycotting the Grammy’s now he’s front row center stage.

It was a beautful thing - she acknowledging him and he being proud of her.

I saw it, and I think Jay looked very uncomfortable when Ri-Ri grabbed his hand. I mean, c’mon, she could have grabbed his shoulder, his elbow, or put her hand on his back. But the hand?? I would never want my man holding another chick’s hand—I don’t care what the occasion is. It must be something they do in the Barbadoes.

looking at the awards lastnight I did not think that Jay was acting like that toward RiRi I seemed that he did not want to go on stage. Then he was joking with her as he was trying to translate what she was saying because she was excited. Well that is what I thought. Besides is RiRi and Chris Brown together? well that is the rumors and they were pretty close at the after party

Riyonce um i mean rihanna looks pretty the dressed she song in was a hott mess love love love her hair..
beyonce look beutiful always classy cant go wrong with that…
alicia looked pretty to start with…..but idk as the night went on

I had a friend who worked at the label when rihanna first came onto the scene. Yes Jay was definately smashin that. He was crazy protective of her too. He insisted on being at every performance with her and before she went on, he would have himself locked in with her for at least two hours and put all the staff on watch. he even had a teenage intern escort her to some events so it made it look like she was dating someone her own age. But he was definately with her, but thats how it is in the industry these days to get ahead. Beyonce did the same thing no doubt.

Sorry about Kayne mother, but I still can’t stand his attitude, get over yourself please.

People are reading too much into the rihanna, jayz thing. Its not that serious. Was anyone complaing when Beyonce pulled up a married terrance howard at the bet awards and gave him a lap dance?

I must have missed the comment Kanye said about Common, can someone clarify please?

when kanye accepted his award, he said something like “I told common not to release his album with mine bc he is not going to win the grammy” or something like that

some of you guys are fucking retards. your making a big deal out of nothing

Some people luv mixup. the Jay/rhianna incident was not as bad as poeple make it out to be.

I must say watching the the whole Riri and Jay-z it was weird especially when he yucked his hand away from her which was so obvious,damn if u where a real man and in his own words “Father figure of sort” why would u blow Riri off like that if there is nothing going onnnnnn come on now I find this too supicious

Most borning grammy’s ever. I like Rhi, but her performance was stiff as hell and awkard. Beyonce’s hair was dry and her performance was awkward as well. I was laughing my ass off as she tried to sing in tina’s voice. I thought tina turner did better on stage alone. Kanye did well, but then got slighted by the music playing in the background…and jayz was frontin with Rhi….Nas was talking greasy about the nigger word, all the vets were noticeably not at the awards (mary, janet, mimi, toni. tamia); it’s like all the children came, but the grown folks stayed home. I turned halfway through it, it was so pathetic.

i feel soooo bad for beyonce! Ya sharing ya man biddy and the WHOLE Rasscalt world know it! SMH!!! jayz hit that AT least once I dont care what anybody says!!!

if everyone would get off his mother’s death and realize that the comment he made about common

“common knows he shouldnt drop his album the same year as me”

then thats the reason the music came, them bitches came prepared.
he was outta line as always with his acceptance speech. and its not like they didnt turn the music off when he started talkin bout his momma. if he’da gave them a sec, they woulda handed respect. come on people be real

OKAY I REALLY WAS HAPPY 4 KANYE UNTIL HE GOT UP THERE ACTIN LIKE A BICH! HE WONDERS Y NOBODY ASKS HIS ASS 2 BE APART OF NOTHING!

ANYWAYS THA GRAMMYS AS ALWAYS ARENT WHAT THEY CRACKED UP 2 BE!

I agree with #32. Just ridiculous. SMH.

Kanye had me laughing (as always). I love that guy. It was rude of them to start playing music on him though.

P.S. I loved his ENTIRE performance!

I saw nothing awkward about Jay and Rihanna. The girl just won her very 1st GRAMMY, OF COURSE she’s excited! Do y’all really think she had those rumors on her mind at that moment? Come on. Even Beyonce herself was encouraging Jay to go on stage, so where’s the drama?

It was the award for best RAP/SUNG COLLABORATION, it wasn’t strange for Jay to go up there too.

And Solange needs to sit her no-talent ass down, WTF was she doing there in the first place? She’s just mad Rihanna’s doing her thing while she’s stuck riding Bey’s coattails. She’s never even had a hit.

As far as the rihanna and jay z thing it was no big deal I mean artist invite their business people on stage all the time. And in her case she should have cuz he was featured on the record. And he was starting mess when he kept interuppting her speech so he wasn’t by any means nervous about going on stage.They both were just having fun. It just shows that they work well together like brother and sister fighting and playing back and forth.

why must black folk make a mountian out of a mole hill. Come on Jay didn’t want to go on stage maybe because he wanted Rihanna to shinek, and the behavior onstage was cute, almost like a big brother little sister thing. why oh why must people read to much into everything?

i just watched the “awkward” moment….lol
ummm yeah hmmmmmm, i dunno rihanna was just excited……

@the one Spoken like a real black Person!!! Makes momma proud

EXACTLY what I thought when I was watching it….I was like I know this Beyonce wannabe did NOT drag Jay-Z’s behind up there when he didn’t want to. If I was Beyonce I would dragged his ass right back..like this is yer award not his. And Jay-Z was being a Little flirty with her on stage..Beyonce should DEF be suspicious I would be with him 24/8.

Nas is an idiot and nothing can justify him wearing that damn shirt.

Starved for attention. I don’t give a damn what statement he’s trying to make. Black people just do the dumbest things, sometimes we need a big ole slap of sit the hell down.

Got your wife walking around in a shirt that says “Nigger”…Hollywood.

AND Jay and Rih’s hug was WAY too long and WAY too close. It shoulda been 1 second and chest to chest, they did about 4 seconds and Body to Body. THAT is something I like to call SUSPICIOUS. Thats not natural.

and WTF @ kelis’s comment at the end LMAO

I didn’t pick up on the so called awkard moment. People need to stop pitting two successful and equally gorgeous black women against one another. Rihanna and Jay did a song together, Rihanna won an award for that song…therefore, she did what countless other artist have done in the past….she took the person she collaborated with up onstage with her. What’s the big deal???

For more of my big mouth, check me me out at http://www.lovelifedrama.com

By the way, what a pitiful attempt at publicity on Nas and Kelis part..

For more of my big mouth, check me out at http://www.lovelifedrama.com

I think Jay z has fucked Rhianna these rappers aint faithful in the entertainment industry dont be fucking fooled

You know what, I watched the Pre-Grammy show and Jay-Z was acting funny. Regardless of rumors, Jay could have found a better way not to embarrass that poor girl, I think he needs to lighten up a bit. She was just happy to win something and he was responsible for her career really taking off. I saw that mess.

And I am sick of Kanye acting a damn fool….they should have cut him off…time is money and if he was waiting to perform and if someone else’s acceptance speech ran into his performance time, he would have been pissed.

I saw the grammy. I raised a little eyebrow at rihanna, congrats 2 her tho.

Knaye can never get any respect…….well, theres always a next year. good thing he was a good sport this year.

Correction

watched the clip on youtube
Grammy 2008: Rap/Sung Collaboration
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hInmavt9ydo

Here’s what I think.

Has it occurred to anyone that Jay Z is a MUCH OLDER MAN
than Rihanna, and that he used to be HER BOSS.

It would be considered VERY INAPPROPRIATE for him/her to be holding hands and to hug.

THAT’s Why Jay Z didn’t want to hold hands with her
BECAUSE
of how it would look to OTHERS (like their relationship is anything other than business)

Men have to always think about HOW THINGS APPEAR to others
plus you must consider the fact that his girlfriend (Beyonce) was sitting right there in the audience….

I mean why WOULD he hold Rihanna hands
when his girl Beyonce is sitting right there watching the whole thing go down ???
* And his sister in law “Solange” looked like she was about to telll Rihanna off….

I guess Rihanna was excited,
but Jay Z calmed her down………

See….
It’s not a good look for an older man to be hugging on young girls..
People might ge the wrong impression.
* That’s just common sense…

Peace

Um, the media is taking it somewhere it shouldn’t be. You can see that Jay was messing and teasing with Rihanna even in the acceptance speech. And then as they walked away from the mic he put his arm over her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hInmavt9ydo

Solange is probably just jealous of Rihanna since she wish she was just as successful.

Thank You NOVA…You could not had put anymore eloquently! NUFF SAID. Every looks and did great, although the Tina/Beyonce is a bit over estimated…but Tina kept up and kicked azz!! Beyonce can only hope her big azz stays that fit at age 70 LOLOLOLOLOL…Beyonce always trying to stay under a size 12 with the big azz hips! LOLOLOLOLOL…Everyone did great…Gotta Lov that crazy British Bird Amy Winehouse…she is strickly North London (Cockney) Ghetto Gutta Girl! LOLOLOLOL…Lived in the U.K. for a moment, she is mos def one of those birds! She would be so much better served if she got off the rocks though!

CHEERS CL PEEPS!

i didnt see any awkwardness but w/e yall say…

losers.

Nas’ explanation was worse than his decision to wear the shirt.

I have to agree with everyone who said that Ri-ri and Jay are just friends. I don’t see anything else between them. I really just a stupid ass rumor 4-real. I have a friend who happens to be a man, that I hang out with like all day when I am visiting Chi-town. There is no way I look at him other than a BROTHER and vise-versa. We got to the clulb, hang in the park and hang out at his house with his family. We talk on the phone for hours and there is ABSOLUTELY no sexual feelings there. So I would be a hyprocrite if I thought that they are more than what they say they are. It is always a possiblity. There are tons of rumors that come out about celebrities that is untrue. Even when they try to explain why they are not people don’t believe them. But if you have ever had a situation like this then you would know. Not every woman who is friends with a man is having sex with them. Yeah it could happen but than again it won’t. Leave it alon. You are messing with people’s lives. I have learn they everyone deal with things differently depending on the person or people. Just because you choose to be an entertainer that doesn’t mean you are not human. A TONGUE IS A TWO-WAY SWORD. Unlike what people think WORDS DO HURT. They are humans too.

Oh Yeah and Nas, you are WRONG. I see you in a different light now. At first, I didn’t see what was wrong with your title for the cd, cause I thought you was making a point. But you went to a public AWARDS SHOW, that is televised NATIONWIDE and displayed that N-work mentality. And Kelis you should be ashamed of youself. Where’s your dignity? Really. Is this not black history month. Not that this is the reason to act right, but how DISRESPECTFUL. Now you have any person whom may have racist thoughts once agains JUDGE all of us because of YOU AND YOUR WIFE. I don’t get it. What was your point? As a Black community, what direction are we heading? This is another reason why PARENTS should not allow their children to IDOLIZE celebrities. SOME of them make it a point to be as ignorant as possible. And this really hurts.

everyone is making too much of this. Jay-Z was just repeating what Rihanna was saying, and she put her hand so he couldn’t repeat anymore things. It was just friends being playful and having fun. It wasn’t nothing.

here is a link to the video
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hInmavt9ydo

IF JAY Z DID THAT TO ME I DON’T THINK I WOUDL BE ABLE TO GO ON STAGE WITH HIM OR GO AT ALL.

That was really rude how they started the music during Kanye W. speech.

I dont think there is anything going on with Jay and RiRi. I think yall reading way to hard into it.

Jay Z is being immature, it’s not like Rihanna was going to try and hump him on stage, ur just accepting a damn award dammit.

Jay-z was an idiot for how to treated that girl on the stage, translating her words. What is he trying to say, that because she has an accent, she is incomprehensible? He was the one who looked like a fool. Ugly looking weirdo.

It must’ve been hard for Beyonce to go from 18-24 inch weave down to 12 inches…lol

RiRi has a lot of growing up to do.

i hate when people or websites i should say, try to read too much into a situation. the whole rihanna bit has been a little annoying. i’ve been reading it on a couple of places. it was the girls first grammy for crying out loud. she was happy. hell i would be too. plus it made since that she gave jay the hug she did, i mean he did help her get to where she’s at career wise. innocent hug and bey didn’t look the least bit upset, she was smiling and clapping the whole time. i doubt that when ri thru her hands up in the sky, it was over being upset. she probably was like “omg” or something. i don’t think it was as “awkward” as some try to make it seem.

Yea im definitly a Kanye fan but i have been kinda on edge with his arrogance lately. And like his arrogance is why you love him, but at the same time, he’s an arrogant person whos never HUMBLE…like the nerve of him to say the things he said and then get mad when they wanna start playing the music on his ass come on Kanye…he’s a little girl

As for Beyonce-Rhianna-Jay-Z…i do thnik Rhianna got caught up in the moment, and the way Jazy-Z hesitated to come on stage with him was a little akward…but that doesnt mean they r fucking…

Rihanna always looking pretty, Fuck Jay Z and Beyonce. He should not Hate on RIri coz Miss B did not win, well it happens sometimes you gotta let things pass you anywhere i am sick of beyonce, i have had enough of her for a lifetime. lol

Rihanna always looking pretty, He should not Hate on RIri coz Miss B did not win, well it happens sometimes you gotta let things pass you anywhere i am sick of beyonce, i have had enough of her for a lifetime. lol

FIND KELIS EARRINGS..FERGIE ROCK A PAIR IN HER VIDEO

I was balling my eyes out like Carrie Underwood after Kanye’s performance! gosh, it was soo touching.

i liked bey and tina’s performance. two talented divas.

Rihanna- all this girl knows how to do is dressing to impress.she can’t sing/dance for SHITT. and you call this a talent?? pathetic. anybody can win a GRAMMY now.

Alicia is truly the best our generation has to offer right now. she’s simply the best.

#202 you stupid as hell

Beyonce wasn’t even nominated in that category and besides she got 10 grammy’s and 150 awards in total and will be a legend of this generation so sit your ass down. You’re the one who seems mad that Rihanna only won 1 out of 6 nominations after 3 damn albums. LMAO She’s joins Ciara and Ashanti in the no talent only won 1 grammy club. ROTFLMBAO. GTFOH

And Jay don’t want that little girl. He has Beyonce at home. Besides that bitch better acknowledge him since he’s the only reason she got a grammy because she definitely didn’t win any where only she was nominated. LMAO What a joke.

I also found it awkward - simply due to the obvious rumors I thought the fact she acknowledged the people next to her & Jay before taking his hand BUT did NOT acknowledge Beyonce was in bad taste on the female code level, she knew she’d grab his hand, she knows what people think and to kind of pass Beyonce up without even a look or nod all the while whisking “her man” onto the stage was a bit much. IMO

The Grammys wish they were as entertaining as the BET Awards. The only Award show worth watching nowadays.

I didn’t think Jay & RiRi’s moment was “awkard”?!? I thought it was pretty cool & funny! She is so pretty! And Bey, ooowee that’s my girl!!!! She is too fly to worry about that kinda mess!

’s

Look at the tape he didn’t want her dragging him that’s all it was nothing more than that I wouldnt want it to look like I was holding hands no man would when his girl isn’t too far away. Look at the tape on youtube. Nas is ridiculous. Kanye knew the time limit, I see both sides.

LOL, yall are actually arguing if she dragged him up to the stage?Talk about lives.Yall are sorry.The fact that some saying it ain’t that serious are feeding more into it lol.The chick wasn’t nervous.It was to make a scene.If it was a brother/sister moment, a sister will know her “brother’s” motives.

hahahahah m lmao by reading ur comments guyz…
Awkward moment???
I thought that was the funniest moment of the whole show(except usher’s comment on kanye: “remember ther is no looser kanye” hahahah)…
Rihanna was just acting like a lil girl who wants to thanks her big brother in front of the whole world because of the chance he gave to her….
And i guess beyonce understands that better than u guyz lol…
The talk to the hand, the jokes on scene, and him not wanting to go to let her shine, and bee and riri forcing him to go: all of that r showing big brother-little sister ‘ behaviour…
I was actually really happy and excited to see that on tv: dat was hella cute…
But after i said “oh Snap: tomorrow lets the rumours begin”….
Please please focus on more awkward moment cough**winner of album of the year**cough, cough**amy’s face when she wins**cough, cough**tina almost working on bee’s shoes**cough….
Anyway luv me sum riri……

YEAH KELIS IS DA BOSS BITCH!!!!!, i dont really get the word being put on blast like that it doesn’t really make sense to me, any way….Rihanna and jay-z thing was cute he was translating her bajan accent, it wasn’t awkward at all and it didnt look awkward on tv either, it was appropriate for her to pull him up on stage..still dont get why she got a grammy though.

I didn’t think the Jay and Ri moment was that awkward, and people are definitely looking too deep into it, but when he pulled away the first thing I thought was “yea, he’s making sure he isn’t sleeping on the couch tonight!” LOL

Though….I bet it’s a very nice and comfortable couch…

Wow! I must have watched the remix to the grammys because I sure did not see what was typed up there about Jay and Rihanna. She was excited and I can understand why she would pull Jay Z up there with her - he was her mentor and she was he protege. Jay Z probably did not want to go up there and that’s probably why he hesitated. In the past I’ve seen rappers try to take their homies on stage to accept an award and I have seen such hesitation…why o why must we read something into what happened yesterday? Regarding the picture with her hand up, I thought that was done in jest because Jay was jovially acting like an interpreter.

Anywho, I got to see another side of Rih…the girl oozes confidence that I admire. Go Rih with ya bad self!

I REALLY LOVE KANYE BUT I FELT LIKE IN LIGHT OF HIS MOTHERS DEATH HE SHOULD BE A BIT MORE RESPECTFUL…..I MEAN LETS FACE IT, HIS SPEECH WAS GETTING LONG. ALSO I DON’T APPRECIATE WHAT HE SAID ABOUT COMMON (EVEN THOUGH HE WAS JOKING), LYRICAL COMMON IS A GIANT!

OH BTW HIS PERFORMANCE WAS TOUCHING =) *TEARS*

I love Kanye as a musician and his performance was amazing, but when it’s time for him to speak, I just cringe. It’s just something about his attitude. It always seems as if he feels the world OWES him something and that is far from the case. His speech was too long and the music was warranted. Get off the stage. I do think they should’ve cut the music when he started to speak about his mother though. They could’ve at least done that without him asking, regardless of how long the speech was.

I am happy he held his composure through it all. Even more happy he won, because I did not want to see yet another Kanye rant at an award show.

I do think Usher’s comment about losers and Kanye when he presented the last award was unnecessary. The same joke is made at every award show. Give it a rest already.

I love bey jay and rihanna but
I feel sorrry for both ladys. Jayz has had allot of flaws an a few hidden agendas
I believe that
It maybe was somthing between him and rihanna. I also could be very wrong.

But evan if somthing happen between them beyonce wouldn’t leave him lol he has all control on that.

CHECK OUT THESE SECONDS
@40 SOLANGE FACE TURNS FROM A SMILE B/C SHE SEES RI GRAB JAY’S ARM/HAND. B IS STILL SMILING B/C SHE LOOKING AT J NOT AT RI’S HAND
@42 JAY PULLS HIS HAND BACK
@43 HE PUSHES HER TRICK ASS UP THE STAIRS. NOW THAT IS PRICELESS.
AT JAY’S CONCERTS HE HAS THE RHYME WERE HE STATES HE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE B/TWN A BITCH & A BEY! PRICELESS VIDEO; RI KNOW YOUR POSITION, THERE IS NO GIRL OVER BEY. PLUS SHE GRABBED HIS MARRIED HAND. HIS HANDS ARE RESERVED FOR BEY ONLY

1. Solange needs to worry about when or if her cd will ever drop! Talent or not Rihanna got her own paper, Solange living off Beyonce. 2. I saw an EXCITED Rihanna who didnt seem to think about her action and felt J should have been just as excited. He groomed her and that was a great way to leave Def Jam as Pres. watching the artist he developed recieve the highest honor. However, Her holding his hand while walking up stairs is what a MAN is supposed to do, anyone that disagrees has never encountered a real man. Beyonce Is Not As Secure As Her PR Would Like You To Think!!!

After watching th clip of Rhi and Jay, I don’t think it was awkward either.

Awkward?? It wasn’t awkward at all. I think she threw up her hands as in “I can’t believe I won” not “what’s up.” It’s her first Grammy! She ain’t thinking about no JayZ. I think she was just excited.

Kelis Rocks…..Kelis is Nas is Hip-hop’s Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis…dont get it twisted!! Thats some REAL BLACK LOVE!! Happy Valentines Day!

Kayne should know better. This isn’t the first time he’s won or been nominated. Everyone has the same amount of time to give thanks. He is a fukken brat and he surely isn’t as good as he thinks he is. One thing,he should go back to school. Perhaps he can learn some etiquette there.

jay did what any guilty man would do that means that there was something he proved it right there peeps lololololol ……he should be happy that any body even looks at him let alone fuck him lolololol…..money talks in this case ……. whats done is done jay let it go bey married you any way be happy lolololol
