I ran across these photos of Nas and Kelis, and yes, this is what they actually wore to tonight’s 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Are they serious? Nah, they can’t be! I mean like, really … do they really have “Nigger” in plain words plastered across their chest and back on t-shirts? I guess this makes up for him not being able to release his album this month. Your thoughs?

UPDATE: After the cut you can view Nas and wife Kelis talking about his new album “Nigger” live via CNN at the Grammys! LMAO

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who reads this blog knows that I stan all day, and everyday, for Kanye West! And when I tell y’all he SHOWED OUT at the Grammys? Aww man, did he show up and show out!! He came out with one of my favorite songs off of Graduation (hell, I like the whole damn album) - Stronger, and gave the crowd a full and energetic performance in true Kanyeezy fashion. And to add more icing to the cake, his set/costume was amazing. You know his famous “Stronger” shades? Glow-in-the-dark! And he had on a glow-in-the-dark vest! To promote his “Glow-in-the-Dark Tour” I’m guessing? Oh, and speaking of that tour, based on this performance (and really any performance I’ve seen this kat do) I will be the first momo f*cka in line for some tickets … real talk! But back to the performance. After he showed out on “Stronger” he ran back stage for a second and left Daft Punk do their thing (I think that was them in those suits), and after they did their thing, he came back for a really slowed down and special rendition of “Hey Mama,” in memory of his mother, the late Dr. Donda West, who passed away in November of 2007. He, of course, received a standing ovation after this. I kind of took up the whole post talking about his performance, so come with me after the cut to hear what I had to say about his acceptance speech… More photos from the performance are under there too!

Oh-wee-oh-wee-oh! Morris Day and the Time took us all back to a time, before my time lol. But in my household, not knowing who Morris Day and the Time are is a crime. Okay that rhymed (very corny I might add) but it wasn’t intentional, I promise! Lol, anyhow, the band from the 80s shared the stage with Rihanna and performed a medley including their hit, “Jungle Love,” and Rihanna’s hit, “Umbrella.” The performance wrapped with “Please Don’t Stop the Music.” One of the best performances of the night! A great way to kick-off the show.

Now that we got the majority of the Red Carpet photos out of the way, let’s get into photos from the show! Alicia Keys opened up the show with a special performance with a hologram of the late Frank Sinatra. After the performance, Prince presented her with her Grammy for “Best Female R&B Performance.” I didn’t really get to catch this performance, or Carrie Underwood’s, so I can’t write up a review. Check out more photos after the cut.

Trina’s new single, “Single Again,” premiered on Yahoo! Music today. She looks great (as usual) but um . . . Why it look like they shot this with a 3-chip, and edited it in Sony Vegas? LOL!
