BET Awards that was fast as hell....
Of course........ he'll get that many wins also
He deserves them, no doubt. I don't fuck with a lot of his music, but he has had his hands in a lot of hits this last year. And not to mention, he's been stiffed the last two years by BET and MTV.
Lol, Scoop what the fuck did Wayne even do this year? Nothin worth any awards, maybe an appearance but nothin more...
Scoop...
Lil Wayne is a homosexual.
You do know that he kisses men right?
Scoop?
Scoop? Where'd you go scoop?
yeah.boi..new user...ya digg dat boi knaye is on his Grind...
I wouldn't b surprised of T-Pain wins all of those nods.
Its kanye west
T-Pain deserve all the nods, and deserves to win em all 2. He been doin big all year...Kanye deserve em all 2, cuz he been workin hard even wit his moms passin, so he gotta get em. Learn it.
ReDef.
yeaa..ye deserves it thru hard work, but just athought..will tha people vote for sympathy just cause of his moms paasing???
passing*
Good for him. This looking like Kanye's year after all the drama and tragedy he's had.
Good for Kanye...Tpain should enjoy this now cuz wit so many ppl using the vocoder....his talent is made to look average
are you serious?? what talent
Props to them both, and they both deserve everything they win. I wish they would make a seperate category for cats like Ghost, Lupe & Freeway who weren't platinum artists but made outstanding albums.
i feel you lupe and freeway really deserve something, big shout out to kanye and t pain, t pain been on everybody shit lets just see how much more shit he gone b on when everybody start using the vocoder not original anymore
why da fuck people say vocoder a vocoder and auto tune is 2 complete different things learn people learn fuck it go to youtube and type in vocoder to find out what a vocoder is then do auto tune then go hit up my myspace page @ /youngala3y holla
Kanye deserves it for "Graduation". T-pain did his thing too.
PS: Rap album of the year if Kanye don't get it should be "Free at Last". Sad thing is I don't even think Freeway will get nominated. *SMH*
t-pain should win 1 them awards consedering all the people that been following him on that vocorder shit.( i know he wasnt the 1st 2 do it but he was the 1st 2 bring it back)
kanye doing his thing man after that kanye vs 50 fuck knows what 50 been doin but kanye has gotten a lot more higher in the game since then
much respect to kanye and t-pain T-pain been griniding the past couple of years Kanye should win album of the year wayne is most likely going to get viewer's choice award like last year
BET awards? Get fuck out here with that bull shit, we all know these awards have been water down just like the damn Grammys. It’s a popularity contest, people vote online & on their phones,…damn! I’m not saying ‘Ye or Akon don’t deserve it,…but hell where’s Freeway, Beans, Joe Budden, Joel Ortiz, Redman,…man I can go on & on, all these cats had crack albums that the peeps voting ain’t picked up, so how is these awards legit anymore?
