so it’s the grammy time. the grammy’s were full of some ill moments. coldplay’s performance, jay and chris martin duet, radiohead who was great, the four tops tribute, the bo diddley tribute, jennifer hudson’s performance and the rock’s lil monologue in the beginning. a show filled with dope moments must include my top 5 moments of the 2009 grammy awards

5. chris brown and rihanna – the lost performance doing perhaps their ike and tina impression, apparently chris brown is gully or actually not gully at all. apparently rihanna wasn’t the victim but it looks as if the lovable mr. brown assaulted a woman on his way from a party. so no chris and no rihanna but what did we get instead: al green!!!!!!!!!

4. swagger like us so m.i.a. comes out in black and white colored television and yes pregnant! 9 months pregnant! despite this she still killed. dancing, moving, grooving, im sorry haters she looked great. then the fellas come out and i must say they straight rocked. this was the first time they did this live so i actually wanted a lil more swag but maybe i just wasn’t ready. kanye’s black mullet =swag. jay’s turning his back to the audience=swag. lil wayne’s height=swag. t.i. no swag. sorry im just not a big fan of him live. dope overall show though i was a little hyped i won’t lie.

3. neil diamond doing sweet caroline i am a hip hop head through and through. but then there are those songs that cross all boundaries. songs that a young black man from queens only learns at such corner bars possibly named gantry’s. we all know that type of bar. the black folks only show up on the crazed college night (wed or thurs). when there they drink beer that never would, holla at white folks they never would and sing songs that they never would. one of those songs was sweet caroline by mr. neil diamond. we have all caught ourselves doing the OH OH OHHHHHH” part of that song and so did the grammy audience. neil diamond was havin a blast and so was i. feelin so good so good so goooood

2. lil wayne’s performance the band the dancers alan toussiant i loved his love for new orleans. i loved how he didn’t hit ya with the cliché hip hop performance at the grammy’s (see t.i.). i love his song selection with Robin thicke and not tpain. no lollip or a milli which i enjoyed but i think he took to chance and succeeded. hate it or love lil wayne is dope.

p.s. did we peep, “shawty get low” being played to introduce tpain and will. i. am. right after? we’ll never escape it those apple bottom jeans or those boots with fur.

1.presentation of r&b album of the year what a way to open the show! newarks finest herself ms. whitney houston shows up. now i must say i was very impressed with whitney’s look. she showed some leg looked healthy a little too much makeup but overall was killing it. then she spoke. she started talking bout how she should’ve worn her boots. then came the slurring and the light stumble in speech. (__insert crack joke here____). then jennifer hudson won and we all knew she would. there’s no way the grammy’s wouldn’t give it to her after her terrible tragedy. she did have a dope album but the competitors had no chance. my fav moment though of this part though was being able to see dave (aka punk from the infamous “i love new york”). jennifer is a long way, long long long way from ms. new york and the grammy’s are a long way from vh1 reality.

as cool as this show was nothing beats my favorite grammy moment of all time:
