IMO, the Grammy’s was pretty wack this year. Aside from performances from Kanye and Alicia Keys, everyone else was lackluster. It was actually a bore. Anyway, this post is about the most talked about moments…
First up, Kanye West. He was pissed at Grammy producers when they tried to cut his acceptance speech short. Producers of the show played music to try to hurry him off stage as he accepted the ‘Best Rap Album of the Year’ Grammy in honor of his mother. “Come on? You’re going to play music on me,” he said as he was on stage. And then as he went to speak on his mother they still had the music playing.
“..And just to say something about my mother. I appreciate all the support, I appreciate all the prayers. It would be in good taste to stop the music then.”
When the background music stopped the crowd cheered as Kanye finished his speech dedicated to his mother, Donda West, who died late last year.
“I appreciate everything. I know you are really proud of me right now and I know you wouldn’t want me to stop. You want me to be the number one artist in the world and mama, all I’m going to do is keep making you proud. We run this.”

Sen. Barack Obama managed to beat both Sen. Hillary Clinton and her husband former President Bill Clinton on Sunday by winning the Maine Democratic caucus and a Grammy award in the spoken word album category for the audio version of his book, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. With 59% of the vote, Obama earned 15 delegates, while Clinton received nine.
It has been a great weekend for Obama; he won Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington on Saturday. He also gained all three of the Virgin Islands pledged Democratic delegates on Saturday.
His campaign hopes to carry this momentum throughout the week when over 200 delegates will be up for grabs in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia on Tuesday.
