Saving Grace

The Ozone Awards are usually a candy shop for fuckery but this year wasn’t as fulfilling as I thought. Thank heavens Lil’ Boosie was there because if he failed to show I wouldn’t have wasted my time posting one single picture. But by his stripes we are all healed!

This proud Black man once said “All the hoes suck on my meat like I’m a fucking swisher sweet.”

I’m Just Saying . . .

T-Pain’s status as urban music’s most frequent collaborator helped him nab a leading five BET Award nominations.

Kanye West and Keyshia Cole received three nominations, while Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and newcomer Flo Rida received a pair each. The nominations were to be announced later Thursday.

While T-Pain has his own hits, including the chart-topper “Buy U a Drank,” the singer and his electronically manipulated voice are often found on other people’s songs. He received nominations for best collaboration for his work with Chris Brown (”Kiss Kiss”), West (”Good Life”) and Flo Rida (”Low”), while he was also nominated twice in the video of the year category.

“T-Pain is everywhere,” BET Executive Vice President Stephen Hill told The Associated Press. “He’s got five nominations, none of them for his own work.”

“He’s had a great year; he’s introduced a new element,” Hill said, referring to T-Pain’s vocoder-assisted vocals that have been replicated by other artists such as Snoop Dogg.

While the nominees include many hitmakers, Hill said the awards also celebrate those who aren’t yet in the mainstream, such as R&B singers Estelle and Raheeem DeVaughn, who each received a nomination.

“Our voting panel picked not just the hits but folks who are really talented who are just now getting a shot,” he said. [source]

Remember children, this is BET we are talking about. At the end of the day . . . let me quit while I’m ahead. I’m not messing up my ad revenue dollars over this.
