Well my BET awards weekend is almost over, I’m sitting in my hotel room getting ready to pack, check out and head back to the east coast. As I reflect back on the events of the pass weekend, I must say I did have fun. I’m hearing a lot of mixed reviews about the BET awards, but people need to understand they put the show together at the last minute. The death of Michael Jackson, caused them to rewrite the whole show. That’s a hard task to do, and with that in mind I think it was a good show for what it was worth. 

Now I will say I only watched the first 20 minutes which was pretty much the opening act, but the crowd were on their feet, and when Jamie Moonwalked across the stage… It was heart warming to say the least. 

The rest of the time I was back stage trying to set up for our live broadcast which almost didn’t happen. Security took my computer off to a back room and did ‘THINGS’ to it. What sort of things I don’t know but the middle of the show I spent tracking down security guards trying to find my computer. 

While on this quest for my computer I started a beef with T-Pain’s artist Sophia Fresh, 

Yep her mohawk and my blue dreadlock were beefing!! We quickly made up over some nuvo, but they had to go back to their seats… cheers. Once I got my computer up and running the connection was so slow… i just ran around backstage and tried to tweet the awards. Many of you read my updates, but again I couldn’t get any pictures to upload to twitter. I bumped into many people backstage and got a lot of good content none of which could be shared last night so for that I apologize. 

 

I apologize because you didn’t get to get the jewels like my candid conversation with Aaron Hall, I asked him how does he feel knowing R-Kelly jacked his style. He told me ‘I’m flattered’ going on to say: Why he didn’t do a song with me, none of these niggas can out sing me, You wonder why after all these years no one ever did a duet with me? Look at Mary, she doing duets with these new niggas’ They know i’ll out sing all of them. 

Then what may have been the highlight of my night, was my brief chat with Amber Rose. I will admit, I didn’t see what all the hype was about her, but after seeing her in person… WOW she is electrifying. You can feel her Aura and Swag a mile away and she’s a very nice person. She wanted me to tell everyone here at globalgrind, thanks for the support. 

 

Cassie was there too, and like her or not, the girl is gorgeous. She also has the type of beauty to just hit you. I mean i was simply walking into the Shrine, minding my own business and bam there she was it wad like something said hey Xilla turn and look at her… I did notice Diddy about 15 feet behind her, chatting it up with Alicia Keys.

IN all I had a lot of fun, I have over 700 pictures and almost 2 hour of video to go through on my place flight back home so there is even more to come.
