GS Boyz? Who the hell are they?
I don’t even know what videos those directors did. Sad cause there use to be a time I would check for the director’s name during the credits.
And that Female rapper category is just sad. Plus the fact that this is M.I.A.’s 2nd album. BET stinks.
@maitai GS Boyz have that song “Stanky Leg”. Why is MIA in the new artist category when she’s been out for like 7 years?
Why is there only 3 nominees for female Hip Hop artist?
Keri Hilson looks like she’s been sniffing that pure white lol. I’d still smash tho just sayin

Wow…. she’s gonna kill it. since rumor has it that after her tour she’s leaving the game for two years, I know she’s gonna do something overtop to go out with a “B”ang!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keri Hilson sucks, she can go to hell and back. She tried to didd beyonce’ on that soulja boy turn my swag on remix. She’s a temporary bitch like Ahanti and cassie and the rest of them non singing bitches!!!!!!!!! jamie Foxx definetly did his thing this year. Keyshia Solange, day 26 worked very hard witha number one album, Hype Williams, Benny Boom Jake Nava(Single ladies & If I were a Boy), Rihannna, T.I., Mary Mary, The Dream and why wasn’t Official Girl nominated for best collaboration???

we are gettn tired of beyonce she needs to sit down and keri hilson isnot trying to be like beyonce she has wrote music for her so she has her own style . so i think it should be keri hilson cause beyonce doesnt even write her own material.
keri hilson was an absolute mess. i couldnt stop laughing. her entire performance was a catastophe and it showed numerous times.
my favorite part of her performance, was watching the guy in the red shirt of the audience laughing just as hard as i was.
I love mj,but could have done a better job with awards and the tribute
Trina should ve won best female hip hop because she been holding it down for female rappers for like the past 3 years and her album debuted at #1, Jazmine Sullivan should’ve won Best New Artist, and Beyonce could’ve did a better performance, and Keri Hilson killed it, and they could made Ciara’s performance alot longer because this is her year, i hope her album pick up steam because it’s raw ass hell, and Jay-Z is just beyond words, finally someone who agrees that auto-tune shit is garbage just rap or sing.
you everybody alway speaks about send a positive image to the black youth and that rap is so negative but when a positive song is put on the market evrybody puts the song and the artist down example the stanky leg song its not a gangsta or negative song its fun and different its away from the normal and positive everybody can enjoy this work but still its being put down we as a people send mixed vibes is it a
problem to have a song thats different or do we just find pleasure in putting down something that doesnt appeal to our taste do want positive or do wish to here the shooting drugs and gang stories all the time its nice to here something different every now and then. Maybe they should have won just for being and giving us something different. The stanky legg song hasnt stop any other artist from making money so
WHATS THE BIG DEAL.
