JAY-Z CONCERT!!!!!
So I woke up yesterday on my day off at 6:15 AM so that I could arrive early at Ticketmaster in the Ladera Center to purchase Jay-Z tickets that were to go on sale at 10AM! I was the first one there. There ended up being about 10 people in line to purchase tickets. I'm the only one who left with tickets. It sold out in literally 1 minute! A dude offered $600 for one ticket, but I wonder if I could've made it to my car without getting hit upside the head. I'm on cloud nine write now. I feel so blessed and excited!!!!! It's tha Roc!!!

BET Hip Hop Awards as promised!
You know the routine,here are my thoughts about the ish!
-Firstly, everyone knows that T.I. was MIA due to his recent arrest. It’s really disturbing to me that when you go to a search engine (I’ll keep it nameless) and you type in “BET Hip Hop Awards”, most of the links are about his arrest and not about the show. Traaaggedddyyy
All photos were offically jacked from the BET website.
-my favorite "duffle bag boy"
-The Kanye West Performance was dope, wit the red Michael Jackson pants and all!
-I’m glad BET decided to go with Katt Williams again as host. He’s not afraid to clown on folks who need to be clowned on even if they are in the audience. I was dying when he was talking about how T-Pain and the synthesizer should never depart. LOL And then right after when he introduced LL Cool J as “Lick His Lips Cool J” LOL He better hope Michael Vick doesn’t come after him tomorrow, he got him a few good times.
-When Nelly performed, for the first 10 seconds didn’t you think the girl on stage was Ashanti?? Not too sure how I feel about the future video vixen opps I mean little girl gyrating doing the splits. *shakes head* She shoulda just stuck to “walkin it out”.
-Common gets sexier and sexier by the minute. Umph!
-Glad to see KRS-One get the props he deserves.
-Is that Hurricane Chris’ son doing “The Rick James” with him? He had a cool hype man.
-It was good to see the rappers all support their peers and not throw hate. They all seemed to enjoy one another’s performances.
-I love me some Cornel West!
-Boosie had a nice newscaster flat top. Nothing wrong w/a throwback haircut.
-And yes, I’ll admit, at the end like all of you, I was in my living room cranking that soulja boy! “Nope, you can’t do it like, nope!”

More Why Did I Get Married
-photo offcially jacked from amazon.com
If you thought the movie was good, the soundtrack is also a heater! My favorites include "Why Did I Get Married" by Tamika Scott (of Xscape fame, yah), "Betterman" by Musiq, "You Belong To Me" (this is the song they play at the ending credits) by Ms. Anita Baker, "Why" by Kelly Price, "No One Else" by Amel Larrieux or the whole tracklisting for that matter! lol
*****SPOILER ALERT*********
Here are my general thoughts from the movie, in no particular order, just my random thoughts.
-Jill Scott put it DOOWWWNN!
-Madea was just waiting to ease on out of Tyler's character but he did good. I couldn't stop thinking of Madea when all the guys were together outside when they first got there and he said, "I'm sooo serious". lol
-I hope this movie blows up Richard T. Jones (check him out in "The Wood" a sleeper classic!)
-When they all left the resort, they had Janet Jackson looking like she was about to go on tour (when she was the only one with the movie star glasses and bangin platform boots)
-Michael Jai White is sexy!!! The Sheriff was sexy! Malik "dectective" Yoba still looks good!
-When Jill Scott was visually sexually harassing the Sheriff, for some reason I could see Monique playing her character. lol
-Even though she was big, they did'nt have to dress Jill up like she was in her 50s. Or was she supposed to look alot older than her husband and friends?
-I know it was filmed on location, but don't you want to go to Colorado?
-Isn't the dinner table scene the illest! That's when it turned into a real movie. I can't believe how naive Jill Scott was.
-Tyler Perry's wife was a stupid broad, glad she came to her senses.
-Sometimes Janet was getting on my nerves playing "Dr." the whole trip. Do doctors really act like that w/their friends?
-What ya'll know about that 80/20 rule!!!??
-There is potential for a part deuce. Let me know what ya'll think.

Why Did I Get Married
-photo offically jacked from imdb.com
http://www.whydidigetmarriedthemovie.com/
I must admit my confession. When the previews for this movie came out, I thougt it was going to be a corny and cheesy movie. The previews just looked real wack to me. However, I am sooo glad that this did not stop me from going to see it last night on its debut. This blog is just to recommend that you all go support the good work. I'll write more of a review after opening weekend so that I won't spoil it for you who have yet to go. I think I'm gonna go see it again tonight :) I will add this ish though, I am glad, so so glad that Michael Jai White was in the cast umph umph umph, Lawdy Lawd!

VH1 Hip Hop Honors!!!
Every year VH1 Hip Hop Honors seems to be that ish!!! But I’m wondering, does anyone remember when VH1 wasn’t the ish? It became hot overnight! Here's the link to VH1 to see the performaces, http://www.vh1.com/home/splash/hhh_2007/index.jhtml
I did the best I could w/ youtube footage. Viacom took alot of ish down. :(
Honoree Missy Elliott
There was a lot of hoopla about her being honored and all, but I’m one to argue that she has paid her dues. She has been around for a minute. I wish they had elaborated on this a bit more. They did not mention when she was a part of the group, Sista, or that she first started out under Jodeci’s Devante Swing. I also wish they would have elaborated a bit more on her production/writing resume! They didn’t mention ½ the ish she produced for other peeps. Sure, she’s not the best lyricist, but production/writing wise, she hasn’t been touched by any other females in the game. Here’s the ish that stood out to me.
-I had forgot all about Tweet! Where has she been? For those of you who do not own a copy of her first CD, Southern Hummingbird, ya need to step ya CD game up! Her and Timbo did a good job singing, “I Can’t Stand The Rain” even though she’s not a rapper. She did the chorus bomb too!
-Did you peep Snoop w/ the fam and the pimp cup vibing when they were honoring Missy?! Lol
-Why didn’t Missy perform??????
-Keyshia Cole and E.V.E. did a great job doing “Hot Boyz”. Kesh did a good job, but it made me want to hear the original voice on the track, the highly underrated, Lil Mo.
-And does Ciara ever fail to entertain?
Honoree New Jack Swing
Teddy Riley is one most overlooked producers/musicians ever! I put him in the same boat as Roger Troutman and DJ Quik, they never given the credit they deserve! Same thing w/ Andre Harrell! Of course he’s not on the scale of Russell Simmons, but he was one of the first young hip hop entrepreneurs. Diddy was his intern! He developed the careers of Jodeci, Heavy D., Mary J. Blige, etc. Wow Here’s the ish that stood out to me.
-Andre Harrell’s glasses
-Doug E. Fresh is the ish! When they started singing Lodi Dodi, I was kinda salty because I love Snoop’s cover of it from his first album and was hoping he would perform it.
-T-Pain, vocals were not all there bruh. But in his defense, I guess it is a bit difficult for anyone to sound like Keith Sweat.
-Andre Harrell's glasses.
-“Remember The Time” is one of Michael Jackson’s best songs and videos.
-I don’t recall it being a duet though.
-I think for a second, towards the end, Neyo believed he was Michael Jackson.
-It would’ve been tight if they had the dancers dress up in the Egyptian get up like in the video.
-For a second I thought I was there when Teddy and Chauncey Black (the 2 members of Blackstreet who never left) did “No Diggity”.
-The audience was wack, how can you not enjoy throwbacks like “No Diggity” and “Rumpshaker”???!!!
Honoree Snoop Dogg
I’m from the West, and I am a Snoop fan! Peeps wanna hate but the man is legendary. He does not ever have to release another CD again and he would still be able to tour for life! Even if you don’t listen to rap, if you’re 82, if you live under a rock, you know who Snoop is! Ish that stood out.
-Pharrell looked good!
-He seemed like he really made an effort to sound like Snoop huh?
-TI and BG did “Deep Cover” (On the original track,I love the way Snoop recites the line, “We’ll give you 20 G’s if you snitch on ya homie”!!) but I think BG didn’t know the words.
-I know he’s grown, but it’s weird to hear Bow Wow cuss.
-Did ya’ll peep Ice-T doing the c-walk? Where was WC??
Honoree A Tribe Called Quest
So ya girl decided to finish watching the show in the bed and accidentally dosed off!!!! I’m gonna try to catch the repeat to hit ya’ll up later! Sorry

-Aren't we all kinda upset that Marion Jones really didn't put it down at the 2000 Sydney Olympics after recently admitting to taking "The Clear"??
-I wonder what sports figure will admit to using "The Clear" next?? hmmmm, any guesses?
-Speaking of steroids, why do all the major producers look super beefed up? There's Polow Da Don, Dr. Dre, Timbaland....
-Have you told a friend about this site??
-After appearing in Chris Brown's "Wall To Wall" video and Nicole S's vid for "I Can Do What You Like" can someone tell Sean Garrett to sit down? I think you belong behind a desk with paper and pen Sean Sean.
-Aren't we feeling Keyshia's Cole new sophisticated look?
