LATE PASS: THIS WEEK IN COONERY.....

So, the buzz all around this week, has been what I would like to consider as the very reason why I do not watch BET for music anymore. The only time I watch BET is for Smart Guy and The Game. Anyways, the BET Awards were this past Sunday, and you can tell that the recent passing of Michael Jackson brought the vibe down to where the show was mostly a show filled with dedications, tributes, and performances. Understandable....then this shit happened....



You got Drake sitting in a stool (due to a torn ACL allegedly) half-assing his performance of "Best I Ever Had", then you have Lil' Wayne and his Young Money minions performing "Every Girl" while putting the censors at their mercy. As well as a bunch of pre-teen girls coming on stage during the performance surrounding Drizzy (one of them were apparently Lil' Wayne's daughter)...then Birdman or Birdshit as 2dopeboyz.com refers to him as, performs "Always Strapped" wishing his mouth was strapped shut so that he was unable to speak. A horrid performance, and a horrid night in Drake's young career. Then as well as the video for "Best I Ever Had" premiering....FINALLY!!!...he makes up his mind and decides to sign with Lil' Wayne and Young Money....*sigh*...

Okay, I believe in loyalty....but don't you think that this performance shows that Drake is beyond Wayne and his weed-carriers' antics? There were so many routes he could take (sign wit Jay and Roc Nation, go to Kanye and G.O.O.D. music, go independent)...instead he chose the easy way out and the route that we all expected anyways, and is now included himself in the freak show circus that is Young Money. All I hope for now, is that the quality of his music does not decline as whenever Drake and Wayne get together, the songs falter (mostly due to Wayne's over-unpredictability). Here's your chance to prove me wrong, and maybe I'll thank you later, and buy your album........maybe....But never do I wanna see such brainless fuckery on stage again.

If that wasn't enough, here is a video of Hurricane Chris performing "Halle Berry (She's Fine)", in front of Louisiana's House of Representatives. The first thing I thought was.....why? and the next thing I thought was how? And I concluded my thoughts with, "It is no wonder we blame the South for everything"....



This has prompted me to start something new every week. Every week I will come across something that will have me shake my head in disgrace of being a human being (usually targeted to my own race). So if I see it, I will post it, and I will give my comments, so take these and enjoy it biatch.

*Apparently the rumor is according to Complex Magazine, Drake is signed to Cortez Bryant's Hip Hop Since 1978 & their company Aspire Music Group, where it is a joint venture with Lil' Wayne's Young Money and he is not signed as a Universal artist, however they play a part in the distribution of his records*

....sure.
