February 9th, 2009 at 3:12 am
That chic singing the intro of Swagger Like Us totally got busted for lip syncing. Oops, i fucked up, I guess I’ll turn my back…
February 9th, 2009 at 3:49 am
They Killed It !!!! …This Is The Only Reason I Even Watched The Grammys , And It Was Bornin as Hell ..But It Was Worth It To See This …Best Performance Hands Down.

Lol at we stone. Blow to every otha niggas self-esteem:(. Crackhead.
February 9th, 2009 at 7:21 am
Swagga Like Us Performance wasn’t serious at all. I like what they did with the Beat though.
On another note Paper Trail was a better album than the Carter 3
February 9th, 2009 at 7:35 am
That joint dead and gone is hotter than any joint that been out in the last three years.
February 9th, 2009 at 7:57 am

February 9th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Damn why can’t people just congratulate the dude. he done came a long way from the Hot Boyz to now. Can he get his shine. I don’t remember him doing anything to anybody on here for yall to hate him so much. He gettin money.. Its a recession so I advise you to get yours instead of wasting your time on Hatin somebody that is..
February 9th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Damn…..parody…
Kanye again showed his gay looks
Wayne, T.I and Jay aiight
but with all do respect, M.I.A looked like spotted monster…. i’ve never seen such ugly pregnancy dressing…..damn…..
February 9th, 2009 at 8:55 am
i was hoping that mia wouldnt be up there , she pregnate as hell, all the white people in the audience was like ’see how these hip hop negros are??’ hah
February 9th, 2009 at 9:01 am
fuck all you bitches hatin on wayne early
he deserves everything he got. no one grinded as hard as him
Weezy=King of Rap
February 9th, 2009 at 9:01 am
fuck all you bitches hatin on wayne early
he deserves everything he got. no one grinded as hard as him
Weezy=King of Rap
February 9th, 2009 at 9:10 am
lmao@weezy=King of Rap. Hmmm…when did this happen? Jay-Z best rapper alive ! Jay-Z dont even rap full-time he still winning grammys.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Jay is a living legend..but his time has passed.
but Wayne is NOW
February 9th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Paper Trail was 10x better than the Carter 3!!!!
T.I. got robbed!
February 9th, 2009 at 10:06 am
all em dudes did they thing… ny stand up.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:09 am
That was a good performance of SLU, It made it better cause they included MIA to do the chorus, even tho she was supposed to have her baby the same day. Sh&t was tight. The Coldplay performance of Lost (Remix) & Viva La Vida was tight too.
On a another note, the Grammys again got it wrong in the BEST RAP ALBUM CATEGORY, Like they did about 2 or 3 years ago, when they gave the award to Ludacris for Release Therapy instead of T.I. for KING. I still got both in rotation, and didn’t mind seeing luda get that one over T.I., even tho i think T.I. shoulda won cause KING was a monster. But THIS YEAR WAS JUST A IMBARRESMENT. THE CARTER iii SHOULD NOT HAVE WON FOR BEST RAP ALBUM. NO HATE, AS MANY WOULD LIKE TO SAY. THAT’S THE TRUTH. PAPER TRAIL WAS BETTER HANDS DOWN. TAKE AWAY THE FACT THAT THE CARTER 3 SOLD 1,000,550 COPIES IN ONE WEEK WHEN NOBODY ELSE WAS OUT & BY COINSCIDENSE THE ECONOMY HAD NOT PLUMETED YET, THERE WOULD NOT BE THIS MUCH HYPE.
THINK I’M WRONG, then why T.I. have 2 songs he performed from his album, & wayne have only one. think about that.
PLUS HOW IN THE HELL DID LI LI LI LI LOLLIPOP WIN THE AWARD FOR BEST RAP SONG OVER SWAGGA LIKE US. R U SERIOUS???????
That Sh*t was like the Oscars when they kept cheating Denzel Washington out of winning the best lead actor award for playing good guys, till he had to play a bad guy to get the award.
Track 1, Track 3-14 or 16 i don’t know. all of them are tight, wow a album you actually let play through all the way. how rare, WITH NO T-PAIN OR AUTO-TUNE ANYWHERE. PAPER TRAIL. HE SHOULD SHOOT A VIDEO FOR EVERY SONG. MAYBE WAYNE SHOULD START RIGHTING HIS VERSES DOWN, MAYBE THEN HE WOULD BE A BETTER RAPPER, AND WE COULD UNDERSTAND MORE OF WHAT HE IS SAYING, THEN ALL HIS RAPS WOULDN’T SOUND SO AVERAGE. PRACTICE HIS CRAFT, THAT WAY IT CAN BE ON THE LEVEL OF PAPER TRAIL, AND SO MANY OTHERS. JUST CAUSE YOU ON A LOT OF SONGS DON’T MAKE YOU HOT. PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!! WE TALKIN ABOUT PRACTICE MAN. LOL ALLEN IVERSON. TERRANCE GONE BE EATIN THAT STUFF UP TODAY ON 106 & PARK. “BIG SHOUT TO THE HOMIE WAYNE”. LIKE HE ALWAYS DO.
NOW THAT THIS MUSIC SEASON IS OVER, IT’S ABOUT TO BE A MASSACRE, 50,EMINEM, DRE, JAY-Z, LUPE, ETC. NO AUTO-TUNE. DA*N MACHINE
T.I. won album of the year last night. Period!!!
OH YEAH, I’M HEADING OUT TO CALIFORNIA TO WHOOP CHRIS BROWN’S PUNK A%^, IS ANYBODY COMING WITH ME, I’M TAKING THE RED EYE AT 5:00
February 9th, 2009 at 10:35 am
That performance was very lack luster.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:38 am
And WTF if that lousy bitch wearing?
February 9th, 2009 at 10:41 am
still lmao@Jay is a living legend..but his time has passed…but Wayne is NOW.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Jay is a legend, Eminem is a legend, Nas is a legend. So wayne got a LONG WAY to go to catch up to them.
February 9th, 2009 at 10:45 am
That HOE on stage 9 months preg on stage lookin like trash
February 9th, 2009 at 10:50 am
TI killed everything…
hes a monster.period.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:22 am
TI is a horrible performer, cant keep up with his own flow. kanye was wack as hell. only hova n weezy wee held it down for that performance
February 9th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Cosign 30 and 32.
WTF were they thinking.
The tie my hands song is great. If Weezy could beconsistant with that kind of meaning ful music he would be one of the greats.
February 9th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
THAT SHIT WAS ILL AND WAYNE DID A GOOD JOB FOR NEW ORLEANS!!!!
February 9th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
@ inmystateofmind co sign.
jay-Z shows the most swagg up there too…he looks funny cause he’s the tallest they look like midgets in front of him hahahahahahahahah he stands out…
February 9th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
NAS!!!!!!!!
February 9th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
yoo, cool that they included MIA, as the whole song is built around her song Paper Planes. She is maybe the only woman in the world to perform 9 months pregnant. No one in the corner got swagga like them so it’s was clear.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Lil wayne had the best Swagger, but jay was the best perfomer.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Rap’s mount rush more. Funny how wayne sat down during TI’s verse because its a jab lol.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
hov looks like an OG with them shades
February 9th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
No one has more swagger than M.I.A. right now – she is fucking BAD ASS. That is gonna be the coolest baby ever.
You know if one of those dudes had as much as a broken toe, they would have pulled out of the performance – bitch was on stage on HER DUE DATE! Bravo to her.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
It’s HOOOOOOVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE KILLLLLED IT!!!!!!!!!!!
February 9th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
HOVS SWAGG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(insert your favorite rapper)
February 9th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
SWAGGER LIKE US WAS SERIOUS BEST PERFORMACE DIDNT EVEN WATSH THE WACK ASS GRAMMYS CUS THEY BORING BUT THAT PERFORMANCE WAS HOT IT WAS GOOD TO SEE EM ALL DOIN THERE THING
February 9th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I WILL KNOCK THAT UGLY PREGNANT BITCH OFF STAGE.
SHE 3 SECONDS FROM GIVEN BIRTH AND SHE ON STAGE TRYNA SING.
FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS HEFFA?
February 9th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Kanye Jay & TI held down Swagger Like Us. MIA – I respect her for performing on her due date. Congrats to all of them for the Grammy.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Let MIA do her thing and STOP HATING! She deserves to be on stage at The Grammy’s just like the rest of them. I’m sure the things she love most is her music and her soon to be child.
February 9th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
all yall dissin M.I.A. is buggin, that was her song first. they got the sample “Swagger Like Us” from “Paper Planes”. so she was the original person sayin swagger like us. so she kinda is “mothering” or sonning all 4 of them Jay, Kanye ,TI and Wayne just cause they made this song and sampled it off her, they kinda got her swag. real talk just sayin. I gotta say after that though, Jay was sonnin the rest of them on stage though, he was definitely Frank Sinatra, if they biggin the Rat Pack (Rap Pack).
February 9th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Performance was tight. Why the fuck is everyone buggin out on M.I.A. MeGaTrOn – damn son, is it that serious??? Internet thuggin on a pregnant female… terrible look.
February 9th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
# 9. . . I agree. Mother f*ck THe Grammy- we should boucott the Grammy’s. I’ve said this before, Lil Wayne cheated his way about a year in a half to the top by biting hip hop artist’s styles, swagg, duplicated Jay-Z’s rhymes, Clipse’s rhymes and clothing lines, etc. etc. Lil Wayne is beyond irrelevant and I do not believe him. Lupe Fiasco, Jay-Z, or Nas deserves the Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song…Lupe Fiasco- Superstar featuring Matthew Santos. and Best Rap Solo- Nas- N.*.G.G.*.R. or Jay-Z- Roc Boys (And The Winner Is…). The Grammy SUCKS since day 1!! They ‘re not fair to other artist that did not or ever recieve an award such as Jazmin Sullivane, Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, and other hip hop and r & b acts. The only performance I like was Al Green, Jamie Foxx, Ne- Yo, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson, U2 and Coldplay, Whitney Houston still look good for her age, she will make a comback. Overall, Grammys combine with MTV Video Music Awards, BET Awards, MTV, BET, and the Grammys are nothing but BIASED! The whole music network along with Viacom should go straight to hell!
February 9th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
NAS> The six on stage!
February 9th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Lil Wayne winning rap album of the year, Stevie playing with those Jones Brothers
What tha fuck is this world coming to?
February 9th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Kanye has a mullet puff….why???
February 9th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
I Owno Why People Actin Suprise That Wayne Won Best Album .They Must Ain’t See The Hiphop Awards ..How That Nigga Won Every Catagory He Was In ..Anyways I Been Called It.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:39 am
Hov’s swag might be greater than everybody’s on stage, but so was his age. He looked old as hell. And when he did that turn around shimmy with his knees bent…. i was like get that nigga a wheelchair. But he’s still my favorite rapper. Can’t wait till he’s rapping with alzheimer’s and still better than everyone else.
February 10th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
pregnant pu$$y is the bomb.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
ay is it just me…but look at the swagger like us…was t.i and weezy goin at each other…it look like t.i was tryin to touch wayne at the beginning of his verse and weezy moved out the way…and when he said “i got stripes” he looked right at t.i…or maybe im trippin
February 10th, 2009 at 9:10 pm

February 11th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

February 19th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
MIA has more swagga than all of them put together!!!!
STOP HATIN ON THE WOMAN! It was her song originally and so what if she wants to perform pregnant??? and so what if her dress was a bit shit??? lool. BIG UP 2 MIA straight

Two Shots 4 M.I.A.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Big ups to MIA
Credit due for her, performing on her due date
As for the outfit, not the highlight
But paper planes is a sick song
Shame she didnt perform at Oscars though
