Yo, this joint is going to be fire. Especially that Wu Tang appearance. Can't wait, I got the DVR all setup, lol. I wonder if the Game and 'Cris gon perform there track together, that would be real hot! They would shut it down.

Overall, I can tell by the line up of performances they have, that it's gonna be one to remember......

Greatest award show performances:

5. Em and Elton John at the Grammy's (legendary performance)
4. BIG at the 95 Source Awards (through all the bullshit of Suge at the awards, BIG still ripped it)
3. Jay at the first BET awards back in like 01' (he brought out Beans and Bleek, it was crazy and he debuted H to the izzo).
2. Nas at the 99' Source awards (Puff brought out Nas and they performed Hate Me Now, it was bananas, the whole building went crazy!!)
1. DMX at the 99' Source Awards (Eve set it off, then the LOX came out, then with the grand finale, DMX TORE THE HOUSE DOWN!)

This is something i noticed, 50 is out of the circle! look at the line up-Lil wayne, Jada, Game, Wu Tang. All who have had their issues with 50, and visa-versa. 50 isolated himself with all his "beefs" n shit.

At the moment Lil Wayne is the top runner in hip hop...as much as i hate to admit it!

BET dotn want no trouble, so 50 wont even get a look in at being involved in show itself....might win an award, but thats something different.

And yes, Russel Simmons is hip hop!

I don’t know any real Hip-Hop head that still get mad excited for these vocal cord box award shows (no T-Pain); I mean word is borne how many cats U know are marking the day down this shit sandwich of a show runs, or settin their DVRs to record this hot mess? You Goddamn right; nobody, I’ll copp me a smack DVD, OnSamch and I’m good. But I have to admit, BET & MTV aren’t even on my radar, they fell off way before this shity economy. VH-1 is repin way better, That Hip Hop Honoree things, or the 100 most infomercial hip hop videos…all that shit’s way hotter then this shit

Explain to me why they are even showing up? BET is getting rid of Rap City, already got rid of UnCut. The shows that helped them build they're careers. So now you have to sit through hours of Yoooouuuuuuu! and hope some real shit gets played? I would boycott straight up...
