BET & The Red Report. This joint was good this year. I mean…the fact that Beyonce and Jay weren’t there was unusual, but hey…them negros need a break. I was gonna give my commentary on it, but A. Red put it down on the coverage, so I’ma just post a huge link to that mug.

Ok…now, on with the blog…

Man…it’s been a minute huh? Well, I just got adjusted to my new job (which is more laid back – so far). Well, I want to talk about something briefly. The BET Awards always manages to do these three things: 1. Have heathen arse artists talk about, “I would like to thank God…” 2. Squeeze the Gospel portion in. 3. Have people do something just because.

1. Aight…Have heathen arse artists talk about, “I would like to thank God…“ Now, I ain’t judging nobody. I don’t judge crackheads, but I still know that crack is wrong. So when an artist, who trying to beat a case, raps about lollipops, and the censored button is on constant rotation during your performance, gets up and say something about how great God is…I’m like…”eh.” Like I said…I ain’t perfect, but I’m not influencing a million people on the regular either.
2. Squeeze the Gospel portion in. Glawd Hammercy. They managed to squeeze Marvin Sapp in this year. He did his thang tho. I’m surprised that they let Yolanda take a break this year. (Mad that Tye Tribbett didn’t get nominated.) This portion of the show always crack me up because you’ll always see rappers either head to the bathroom or act like they are in church. *FYI: “Never Would Have Made It” came out early 07. It’s all good tho.*
3. Have people do something just because. Ok…I’m not even trippin over the first two points. But when Diddy came out talkin that “Obama or Die” bid, I just SMH. Then other artists came out talking the same thing. “If we all get in and vote, we can have a black president.” Wait…I hope that’s not the reason you’re promoting. Vote just because? I’m voting for Obama for countless reasons, but him being black is on the backburner of reasons. Research niggas…RESEARCH! Then vote. Hell, there could be a Black Bush out there.

Anyways…I’m out
