I didn’t even recognize ex-Danity Kane member D. Woods. I actually love her outfit. It’s not too revealing and she mixes a little couture in with that courtesan flavor.

I guess this is the CHANGE we were hoping for?

I worked with the Dirty Awards when Marsha [Meadows] was in charge. She created it. What really pissed me off as with all the other Ghetto ass Hip Hop awards shows is the lack of respect.
I remember where we all artists, nominees, etc. had to sign agreements that there won’t be any weapons, weed, cussing, etc. Marsha asked everybody to be on good behavior because they were giving the tickets away to the general public and there were kids in the audience and they suppose to tape the show for DVD and TV show.
However, the first asshole, Big Boi, went on stage and said, “I am going to Strokers to look at some Pu$$y,” as he got his award and he said it more than twice. Then everybody just started cussing, Gorilla Zoe ramble some ish as the new BNDH member “F**K with me or F**k you”. In the front, all the artists started smoking weed. I went to the bathroom people were getting arrested in the bathroom.
I say this, I am by no way squeaky clean, but I have respect for people especially when they are trying to do something positive for us. Marsha spent a lot of energy in creating these awards every year for the same assholes that disrespected the show and her by not following the stipulations. She put them in place not to be a square but to respect the children and parents. They have sponsors that endorse the awards so that they can happen. We brought Hip Hop so far, where it created a billion dollar empire and it was used everywhere, NOW they managed to discredit and destroy 20 years of work by primitive and ignorant behavior. If you are claiming your hood, you a killer, sell drugs, stay your ass in the hood and kill ya self. Don’t f*ck it up for those that eat from this business because we live, breathe and sleep this business and trying to excel and build a reputable name so that it can be passed down.
I own a web development company as well and I CAN’T even show our portfolio of a lot of HIp HOp projects because they will reject us as a candidate because of our involvement. Now we can’t get the same sponsors, advertisers and supporter that we have gotten in the past because of our Hip Hop involvement. We have to create 2 totally separate brand and images for corporate and for entertainment which we never had to do. So yeah this whole thing is bullshyt.

FanMAIL: Beyonce steals again!!!

Subject: Beyonce steals again!!! (Proof Inside)Hi Sandra,
I’ll start off by admitting that I am a fan of Beyonce’s work. But as of lately, I’ve noticed that her originality is gradually fading.. Her performance at the American Music Awards most recently caught my attention. Through out her “Single Ladies” performance, I couldn’t help but notice that her dramatic dances, movements and animated facial expressions were easily influenced by performers in the gay ball room scene. But at the end of the performance, Beyonce blatantly ripped off the trademark “ponytail grip” that legendary ballroom performer Leyomi Mizrahi is known for. Beyonce actually channeled many different Leyomi elements during her performance. If you take a look at the YouTube clips below, you’ll clearly see what I’m talking about.

P.S. I’m not a hater. I love Beyonce. I just wish that she would be more original nowadays.

Dirty Awards 2008 Marred By Violence Between Shawty Lo & T.I.’s Crew
The 4th Annual Dirty Awards ended abruptly tonight when violence erupted at the Georgia International Congress Center near downtown Atlanta.
The 2008 Dirty Awards presented by Radio One’s HOT 107.9, started off without a hitch tonight as rap stars T.I., Ludacris, Rick Ross, Trina, Rocko and singer Monica, Diamond & Li’l Scrappy, Common, and others walked the red carpet.
My spies tell me T.I. and Shawty Lo showed a unified front backstage before the event. The two rappers even took pictures together.
But problems began during Shawty Lo’s performance when he asserted his ownership of the South. Next thing you know, a chair flew onstage and police rushed forward to restore order.
T.I. promoted non-violence and Peace during his performance. He ended his speech with, “AND YOU KNOW BANKHEAD RUNS THIS!” Just then, Shawty Lo’s crew rushed the stage and fists flew. Attendees jumped on top of tables to avoid small fights that broke out near the stage.
According to sources, the police pepper sprayed bloodied Grand Hustle rapper Alfa Mega in order to subdue him. The thick clouds of mace sent guests running to the exits.
This is a developing story…
