What a crazy Sunday night at the 2009 MTV VMAs. Everyone has seen, talked about, or at least heard about Kanye West' outburst last night, and while it was in deed in bad taste, and Im not condoning it, I just wanted to be one of the few to post Kanye's apology [lmso..hopefully he called Taylor and told her personally]. And I also wanted to point out the half empty bottle of Hennessy he had ben carrying around all night [again..not condoning it..just saying]. If you somehow missed it, basically Kanye jumped on stage and took the mic from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video to explain to everyone... "I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time,"[SMH]..here's what happened after...sources at MTV say Taylor Swift was seen crying backstage and being consoled by her mom. Kanye was asked to leave the building by MTV staff.
KANYE WRITES...
Hopefully Kanye will think twice next time before one of his classic outbursts. And maybe he'll leave the bottle of IMAGination [Hennessy] in the car. Classy move by the beautiful Miss Beyonce to redeem Taylor's night.
IN OTHER NEWS....THREE IS DEF A CROWD..
Kanye basically overshadowed the fact that Lil Mama [hip-hop artist and "America's Best Dance Crew" judge] tried to crash Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' finale performance unannounced and uninvited. During Jay's performance of "Empire State of Mind" to close the show, "Lil Mama" comes from her seat in the crowd up onto the stage [which seemed to be the cool thing to do that night smh] and starts to nod to the beat in front of Jay. While he did appear surprised, Jay played it smooth and continued to bob his head as well while finishing his last verse. He even threw in a punchline while Keys finished the chorus saying "You T-Paining right now" apparently referring to T Pain coming onstage unannounced during his Summer Jam performance of "D.O.A.". He then tapped her on the leg as a gesture to fall back, but she ignored the gesture and continued to try soak up some of the spotlight. She even struck a b-girl pose, and scooted to the center of the stage to be awkwardly included in the final stage shot which clearly belonged to Jay and Keys. Definitely a "smh" moment..Lil Mama, get some IMAGination.
One last shout out to Wale and UCB who got to be the house band last night for the VMAs. Good to see them do their thing and represent the DMV area.
-Use Your IMAGination
