Lil Wayne "The Carter III" Wins Best Rap Album


So, I knew this was coming, but I'm still bummed about it. I thought Jay, Lupe and Nas all had better albums all the way through, but this is kinda how it goes. Oh well, maybe next year.

Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke Perform "Tie My Hands" at the Grammys


As much as I pick at Wayne, I have to say his performance tonight of "Tie My Hands" was a solid act, integrating New Orleans staples and legends like the Brass Band. I'm sure, slash know, it was the Grammy people's decision to do all that, but it was a good moment. I'm glad Wayne actually put a good image of hip-hop into other people who are not informed about the genre's mind. Both him and Jay's "Lost" Remix were solid.

Side: Why is will.i.am still campaigning for Barack?

Josh Groban Calls Neil Diamond One of the Greats at the Grammys


Sweet Carolina, oh oh oh.

This has nothing to do with what I post, but I thought it was funny that Josh Groban referred to Neil as one of the greats.

Greek life and Tar Heels rejoice.

So good, so good.

M.I.A. "Paper Planes" into "Swagger Like Us" with Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and T.I. at the Grammys


A very pregnant M.I.A. just busted some shit with all those cats. She was supposed to be in labor today. Side note: Weezy went and pissed me off, T.I. too, for going gangster casual in their tuxes. Jay and Kanye kept it looking presidential and extra clean.

Jay-Z Performs "Lost" Remix with Chris Martin at the Grammys


I don't have any video, or anything, of this yet, seeing as how it just happened, but I enjoyed the performance and hope to have something for it tomorrow. Worth watching the Grammys for

Big Boi "Ringtone"


"but you a star and imma let you shine,
see all the signs when you show the full moon from behind"

Eh, not the greatest effort for Sir Luscious Leftfoot. I expect better from Daddy Fat Sacks. Too much going on with the guitar/voice box/synthy shit.
