  • Remember when Jay Z aka Caeser/Warhol/HYME said in his song SHOW ME WHAT U GOT LIL MAMA ? Well , she showed him she got some ELEPHANT BALLS TO MATCH HIS CAMEL BALLS
  • Hey listen put your 3D glasses on cause Ernie Gaines is coming! Google him!
  • Lil Mama is a f*cking clown. but with Alicia Keys there will never be a dull moment. all i can do i stare at her. SHE IS INSANELY BEAUTIFUL!
  • Lil Mama shouldnt have went up there
  • jayz is a d*ckhead for acting like he did,im really dissapointed but i didnt expect any more from him anyway,lilmama didnt do anything wrong,yes she wasnt performing but all she did was go up there at the end of the song and dance,she didnt come in the middle of the song which would have been wrong but the song was almost finish and she was just dancing..yes lil miss alicia didnt want anybody to take the shine away fom her..bouhouuuu...this is sad how artists dont know how to have fun anymore and they cannot even support each other,sometimes they forget how they all started,support is everything in this bizness and they shouldnt take what she did so harshly...if anything I will not support jayz anymore,those people think that the world belong to them,he should have look at that as a compliment that she was so proud to dance on his music which sucks by the way..go and sit down old men...love u lilmama
  • Its' my opinion that Lil Mama was the one disrespected-caus of her stature in the music industry her wanting to show love for her city she was being disrespectful?-if she had been Diddy and did that sh*t their wouldn't been a problem nor an ounce of anyone feeling disrespected. It woulda been all love and everybody having a good time-I ALWAYS LOVED ROCNATION but dat nicca HOVA that wasn't cool-If they wasn't feeling the intrusion they coulda let her knw after on a more personal level not dis her like a nobody on national TV it showed HOVA's tru colors thus to say I don't respect him like I did be4 its not like it matters though i'm just a fan. & A.Keys WTF-Ain't too many young ladies from the N.Y. in a spotlight to be a ro-model like urself how u goin down another for no good reason other than her feeling ya music and lovin her city natives for doing a N.Y. callabo. I guess the industry is really filled with Fake ass people but again I'm just a Fan so what do I know.
    • Lil Mama is not Diddy!!! She's not Alicia Keys!!! The fact is she has not garnered such respect as an artist to hop on stage and ruin a moment between legends. Keys and Jay are proven legends. Lil Mama has a long way to go to even reach such heights. I think she a great person but she was feeling herself a bit much.. I mean my lip gloss is popping was a hot kiddie song and Lil Mama is still trying to invent herself. It was disrespectful to the Jay and Alicia. Now, did I feel sorry for her? Yes!! I felt ashamed for her. I mean, she was being a groupie at the wrong time. Sorry Lil Mama. You should know better!! Even if Diddy had done such it would have been in bad taste. Diddy has too much class to interrupt someone's live performance without being signaled. Diddy is no groupie.. Well, I'm sure he's still in awe of folk like Janet Jackson but it's lil mama against the best chart toppers and record sellers of all time.. Lil Mama is lil mama.. come on
    • I agree.
  • Missixty, naming an album after a movie you were not allowed to participate in is the WHOLE POINT. He wanted Denzel's role, and when they rejected that idea he wanted to score the film. And when they rejected that idea, he went and made an album based on the movie. I have nothing to say about how people feel about that album but the premise is corny, the fact that you made that record cuz you were rejected is corny. Hip Hop is a forum for creativity and originality, not making a baby feel good about himself. He's the oldest f*cking rapper in the game right now! What idiot can believe Jay-Z has any involvement in the happenings of the streets of NY? 50 told you Wayne been making records since he was 14 what drug activity aside from using, can Wayne rap about. Well that applies to S-Dot. You've been rich since the 2nd LP, all that drug talk, walk it. Biggie too. But at least Biggie and Tupac ripped from each other and not for the length of their careers, Jay consistantly steals from Biggie's catalouge. Defend that? You must not be old enough to know the real info on this punk, wannabe the King. He only became this popular due to the deaths of Shakur and Wallace, the void left an opportunity for real emcees or opportunists like himself, Puffy, and Ja Rule to show how bitches dominate Hip Hop and thanks to them look at the state of the music and culture today.

    YOU PROBABLY LOVE YOU SOME SOULJA BOY HUH!



    LIL MAMA MADE THAT PERFORMANCE SOMETHING TO TALK TO ABOUT IT. Otherwise it just would have been a nice lil diddy done by two performers staring down the barrell of retirement.
    • charles i see i am not the only one who sees through jay-z bullsh*t. it is so re freshing to know that not everybody runs will sh*t that this nucca jay be saying. like he been telling folks that he made 80 million last year with his business ventures, no what i can't understand if a person claimed that they made this kind of money in one year then why would you be sitting on 7.2 million dollars in debt? who does this not a "business man. but wait it gets better, Jay brought his NY condo in 2007 for 15 million (my mother works for the real estate company he brought it from so i know)now if u had so many billions a billi, a billi, remix remember why would you purchase a condo not pay for it fully and the mortgage payments increases with an adjustable rate this is not a business man by far this nucca is just a rapper telling people who don't know better how his money is when it really is not.

  • The thing about being famous is that the public expects these humans to be perfect, but there not and by no means am i condoning any of the actions exhibited by these persons, but just ALWAYS think of it in a church setting there is only ONE pastor, father, or church leader and if you are not asked to come up to the front, just stay where you at!
  • Who are you to sit here and judge Alicia for just speaking her mind about what Lil mama did, it wasn't like Alicia sat there and disrespected Lil mama, she just said her peace and let that sh*t go, so for those of you who are up here bringing up her personal business need to shut the f*ck up because that has nothing to do with what she said and y'all need to check yourself before you start commenting on somebody else business that you know nothing about....
  • BOTH OF THOSE RICH FUCKS CAN GO TO HELL. GET UP OFF LIL MAMA!!! I BET SHE WILL THINK B4 SHE LET HER HEART PUMP TO THE BEAT OF SOMEONE ELSES MUSIC!!!

  • Self-made sit your illiterate ass down! Lord chances are if you don't buy his music, that you not buying it will not affect his sales dumbass! And stop reading MTO-why read a story about someone you hate so much?

    And you know good and damn well that you don't know any "real Niccas" with that kind of money-sit your slow ass down loser! There are plenty of multi-millionares who don't own property out-right, hence the ARM-is used for property that isnt meant to be a long-term commitment.

    And what does it matter if he names an album after a movie?

    That is the most assinine question I've heard of! Especially seeing how he only named ONE of his albums after a movie!

    This is not about how "hot" you think the song is, she made a mistake, and that's the end of it. There were plenty of fans in the audience, and they all enjoyed the set from thier seats.

    Just so happens that Lil Mama has a newly "leaked" single called " See Me Everywhere"-so personallu I think its a Publicity stunt to garner some attention , for an otherwise failing artist.
    • LOL!!!!!
    • WOW JIGGA lover don't get made because jay-Z got played, he not that hott and it shows that he not the only one who can do what he think he can. And the funny part Jigga lover IS JIGGA THE ONLY ONE WHO DON"T HAVE MONEY LIKE HE WANTS PEOPLE TO THINK. AND YOUR RIGHT MANY millions DON"T OWN PROPERTY OUT RIGHT BUT people with billions do and JIGGA NOT ONE OF THEM. so thank u for suppose to be smart outcome. and lil mama didn't make a mistake she mugged the right nucca for the cams at the right time,
  • Ok... Alicia and Jay-Z feel the same way about Lil Mama's action. They both were displeased with her getting on stage with them. I have a couple of things to say here.

    1. I understand their feelings about it, this was their show, their time and she Kanye'd them. BUT, while Mama is a "performer" in her own right, she is also a fan. Most musicians are. What happened to the days when Hip Hop wasn't about such obvious egotism? If Puffy was performing and Ghostface stepped up, he wouldn't have thrown a fit. That's just one example. But it is true. What happened to camaraderie?

    2. Since no one will say it, the song itself wasn't hot. His lyrics are, as usual, phoney bullsh*t being said by Hip Hop's oldest active rapper. Is the music on the national scence so stagnant that he is welcomed back each album? Why is he afraid to make an album not titled Blueprint or after an already popular movie? Alicia's voice is typically amazing. But in this performance it is really subpar. She sings like an angel and they had her singing in a register that is just not her.



    I WILL SAY THAT AS USUAL, JAY AND HIS TEAM REALLY KNOW HOW TO PICK A f*cking INSTRUMENTAL THOUGH!
    • FINALLY someone who feels the way i do!.....jay z is full of sh*t and im utterly suprised at my homewrecking alicia keys talkin like dat!...dat lil gurl looks up to them both but dey wanna act all brand new on her! she loves ny just as much as they do, and i didnt see anything so wrong with her hoppin on stage. i could see if she was from atl and she was on summ hatin ish but she from ny and was feeling da song so puhleez giv dat gurl a break! jayz too snobby 4 me, his time so0n run out! WATCH!
    • It wasn't her time to shine, period. How is that so hard to understand. S o what if she from N.Y. so r alot of people that were at the show. If she love N.Y. so much then let her drop a single..... drop suin. sh*t.... stop ridin other people.
    • yo omg so u feel the same way i do nucca jigga got that big in life he all that, humm that nucca is full of sh*t, Yo charles i will say this much about full of sh*t jigga how the f*ck you talking about people and talking about you run this town? if he really did that nucca would pay for that condo he owes 7. 2 million on if he all that and according to him he said he made 80 million in 08 well that's funny nucca i know who made money like that all their sh*t is really paid for and they run this town for REAL f*ck JUGGA AND ALICIA KEYS I HAVE NEVER BROUGHT JAY sh*t AND NOW I WILL NEVER BY ALICIA'S sh*t SINCE THEY ALL THAT THEY DON;T NEED MY FUNDS TO BY sh*t OF THEIR'S
