So little time...

Lordamerrrcy.
The drama the drama the drama.

Sooo, you know i couldn't miss an opportunity to talk about the eventful Grammy's (I mean, half this whole blog thing is about music).
As I've been saying on AIM for the past week, I wanted you guys to make sure you tune in to at least catch what was shaping up to be a monumental performance by four of hip-hops established and rising legends (Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I, Lil Wayne) as Paper Trail's top ten smash hit, "Swagger Like Us" was performed.

As usual, the Grammy's delivered, using a picturesque black and white theme to display the epic portrayla of lyrical ability at its height.
But the black and white couldn't hide Kanye's mullet.
Or Jay-Z's uncut ceasar.
Lol. When you're as nice as they are, who frankly gives a shit.

The show carried on and so did the amazing performances. Heart-lifting and tear-prompting performances from U2, Coldplay, Adele, Duffy, T.I/Justin Timberlake and most significantly Jennifer Hudson made this year's show one to remember.
(Just imagine what it must be like for Hudson to rise from the ashes and perform at music's two biggest stages: Superbowl and Grammy's. Can't knock the hustle.)

On another note, M.I.A?
Seriously?
The due date for M.I.A Jr. was February 8th.
The Grammy's was February 8th.
What comes first, music or your kid? Music duhhh.

Unforunately, the most captivating story of the night and the following morning wasn't the vocal prowess of the amazing "Chasing Pavements" singer, or the amazing-ness of Ms. Spotlight, it was the two stars, that weren't present for music's biggest night.

Rihanna, next time Chris says Gimme That, you better Run It.

According to multiple reliable sources, Chris Brown (no, not the football player, even though that would be easier to believe), was arrested and held on 50G bail extremely early on the morning of the Grammy's for charges stemming from the statute of domestic violence.

My source (yeah, so what, I got people) relayed to me the information that Rihanna had originally instigated the argument because she was unhappy about Mr. Brown's behavior the previous night at the Grammy's Pre-Award Gala concerning two ladies who showed extreme interest in the superstar. On the drive home (post-party), Rihanna began to argue with Mr. Breezy about the incident, and she requested that--which was very unusual--she be dropped off and left alone. Brown thought that she was reading to much into the incident, and when she attempted to completely leave him and the car, Brown flipped, forcing her towards him, using his fist, open palm, and teeth to restrain the pop singer. Rihanna later checked herself into the hospital, where she was forced by authorities to tell her side of the story, in which case Brown, realizing he had no choice, turned himself in.

Ohhh, the millions of teenage girls whose homes will be banned of all Chris Brown propoganda.
I can hear the mother's now: "He's a wife beater! You are not to listen to his music any longer"
Teenage Girls: "Ohh, but mom that's so unfair? All the other domestic violence victims are doing it!"

Smh (I've been doin' a lot of that lately. See: Report Card).

In other news...
