At last night’s taping of the Soul Train Awards in Atlanta, Rick Ross was nominated for Best Hip Hop Song and scheduled to perform “Aston Martin Music” with Chrisette Michele. But when Ross lost to Eminem in the category, he left the ceremony before hitting the stage. Obviously upset, Chrisette turned to her blog and questioned Rozay’s actions. The Awards air November 28th on BET and Centric at 9PM.
If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it.
This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give.
It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community.
Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at being as “stuck in a category” as possible.Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else. I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool. Don’t LET me start rapping. (album in stores november 30th)

They say…I’m ecclectic. I’m underrated. I’m different. Well If I win an award it’s because I paved a way. Every award I’ve won was new in it’s category. You know why? Because I’m amazing at being my damn self.
Grammy – best alternative R&B song Centric award – Soul Approved Etc. Have u even heard of those categories? Nope. But guess what? You ain’t never seen another me. And u never will. No ego here. Why? Because it’s none needed. My award is waking up every morning and CAKING off of what I believe in by the grace of God.
LET FREEDOM REIGN – in stores NOVEMBER 30th. Go pick that up. Maybe I’ll call my 4th album “winners : just like every body else” maybe not.
I pray with every song I sing Im singing from the bottom of my heart. If all we want is an award for telling our truths, then we really have no true reason. This isn’t a competition. This is a stage for self expression and I’m grateful for the opportunity to live on it. I’d sing even if nobody sang along.
-from the bottom of my disappointed heart. Hip Hop… Man up. I wanted to be supportive but I can’t understand you. I believed in you… But apparently you’re so high you can’t even see what the world needs.
Is all hip hop like that? Absolutely not! But some of it certainly is. Let me spit a few bars. I’m not that kinda hip hop. I rep hip hop too. But not that kinda ego trippin foolery.
Chrisette Michele – the girl on that Aston Martin Music record…
Spread love.





Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Yo Mister Cee, the people feel threatened! Soliciting prostitutes is illegal and this is the second time your private affairs have been publicized. Get some help...and a room! —B.Dot
[...] New joint from Chrisette Michele’s new album “Let Freedom Reign”. Props to RR [...]
kanye album leaked!
Yeah it leaked a few days ago, just the clean version.
This world is mine for the Taking make me King, as we move Toward a, (New World Order) A Normal life is Boring………
Eminem = New World Order….
Eminem > Ross
i love this lady!
Damn… well thats CB4 Ross For You.
BMF >>> ANY Eminem single put out circa 07 – present…. From a hip-hop/Rap point-of-view! That was real Kanye of Rozay 2 walk off though… LMAO! Let me found out NIGGERS got balls now!!!!
Hahaha Fuck you ross,you got beat by the honkey huh? Hahaha ^^
I would of Left too.. If they gave a White Boy an Award at the Soul Train… Tell Eminem to go to the Country Music Awards
Officer Ricky having a Temper tantrum lmao. Last time i seen him this mad is when McDonalds had a mcnugget Shortage.
Well if BET and Soul Train are awarding Eminem…you already know what the Grammy’s will be like. Eminem will dominate those as well!
Of course the Ross haters will diss him for his actions but let Kanye have another tantrum and you all will be saying “Kanye is speaking for the culture and he should have won because he is a genius.”
LAWSE!!!
Yo didnt William get mad when the GRAMMYS didnt nominate “Deeper Than Rap”? Them fancy beats and weak rhymes cant SAVE YOU William. Shady/Aftermath…BOSS !
RT: @Truest “LAWSE!!!”
WHO THE FUCK CARE ABOUT FAT ASS GAY COP
RICK ROSS SHOULD HAVE WON! I MEAN C’MON…WHO DRIVES AROUND IN THEIR CAR LISTENING TO EMINEM? WHAT DJ PLAYS EMINEM IN THE CLUBS? TEFLON DON IS THE HOTTEST ALBUM OF 2010! *WAITS FOR RICK ROSS HATERS TO COMMENT*
well the boss decided to leave, and when the boss decides, the boss decides
*comments*
let’s see…
the BET Soul Train Music Awards nominates one of the biggest Black Entertainment records of the year, and it loses to a joint that, culturally, had zero affect on black culture.
and a black woman is mad at a Black man who isn’t afraid to let it be known what type of bullshit that is.
i can see rick ross’s gripe. if hip hop is black youth culture, then eminem’s lack of effect on black youth culture should count against him substantially. i guarantee you there isn’t a hip hop radio station in a major black city that was playing BMF or Aston Martin Music LESS than any of eminem’s singles.
em is dope. but we have to stop looking AT things, and look INTO things. i hope rick ross responds to chrisette’s turn coat ass. out of all the shit to rant about, THIS is it? get a life shawty
Good for Chrisette Michele! Rick Ross is a lil bitch to walk out like that. How could he have thought he’d beat Eminem? Sorry but I’m still surprised Ross made the top 10 MCs list!! Chrisette is right. Supposed to be there for the music, not to win frigin awards. To walk out was rude and super lame to the fans & especially to Chrisette. How you gunna leave another artist hanging like that? Specially now that her album is coming out in a few weeks. That’s f*cked up. He should have at least respected her enough to stay and do the song with her and then he could have left. Where is the damn love?
LOL @ Rick Ross having a tantrum and leaving………….
Thats how you really win tho, Em been keeping his mouth shut, everybody the last few years riding his dick for attention, he just keeps his mouth shut, sells his records, wins his awards and keeps it movin……..
how the hell eminem win at the soul train awards. ain’t nothing soulful about that cracka
I dont believe Rick Ross anymore *Shoulder Shrug*… Congrats Em! How could you leave such a lovely voice like Chrisette stranded? Classless. -10 points
people are way too worried about the race factor too. it’s about the fucking music, about hip hop. if a “white boy” is better than bigg ass Rick Ross, then Ross shouldn’t be given an award over him. Stupid. Eminem wouldn’t have walked out if he had lost. Besides, anyone who denies Eminem isn’t a great rapper is a fucking liar. straight up. and I’m not even the biggest Em fan. but seriously. ignorant ass people
wait so he really thinks hes a better artist than em HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA or is he tryin to get his kanye on _ either way in a year /two know one will be listen to that dude
intelligentRebelLion.org
Cry me a river dickface.
LOL @ those honkey comments coming back to haunt this nigga. This is the fucking Soul Train Awards. Fuck you tripping for, B?
“I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up.”
^^^Hell no! #Fail Chrisette….but it’s not your fault for thinking it was on the come up….your just one of the many people who think hip-hop is not dead….mind manipulation at it’s best.
Rick Ross really thinks he could beat Eminem?? That’s embarrassing. Don’t blame you for being pissed Chrisette.
and why do these muthafuckas stay hopping on blogs n shit. it’s rick ross, you’re chrisette michele… CALL THE NIGGA UP IF YOU GOT AN ISSUE! wtf?
it’s the principle, chrisette, it’s not an obsession with some trophy. it’s about truth and falsehood. earning and giving. it ain’t eminem’s fault though… he’s just doing him.
i can understand the principle of the shit… and rick ross hasn’t said shit yet. but when he does, trust and believe it’ll be EXACTLY the issue i’m speaking about.
now if you agree…. disagree… it’s whatever. this is why ross bounced, though. bet.
I know the Em stans are going to have a field day but fuck it …I CO SIGN EVERY MOTHER FUCKIN THINK NATHANIEL SAID!
How In The Hell This White Boy Get A Soul Train Award When He Can’t Even Dance…..
Tell Me What DJ Play Eminem New Album In The Club ?????
I’m Waiting…….?
COSIGN R GOLDIE.. SERIOUSLY EMINEM IS JUST MAD OVERATED WHO GIVES A FUCK HOW MUCH HE SOLD ROSS HAS MADE TEN TIMES BETTER MUSIC THAN HE HAS THIS YEAR N SHOULD B REWARDED
bmf a hot tracc..if u a drug hustler…but to say its greater than any eminem tracc from 07 to present is plain foolery and shows ignorance. do u fools listen to music or do u jus skim through it? have a little gander at this lil tracc called stay wide awake and tell me fat boy rozay still on a whole new level…CMON SON!
@ Nathanial
Theres no kind of honor in marching off the set like a crybaby because you didnt win
And kill the race factor, because he would’ve probably marched off the same way had 50 cent beat him out for one
Fat boy been hanging around Kanye to long I guess……
and this award wasn’t about “who is the better artist”… it’s about the record. BET. Soul Train. <—culturally, em just is in another vein of expression than that. ross is all wrapped in the black experience. sure his music is mostly non-positive… but that IS a part of the black experience, unfortunately. a big ass part.
Yall niggas still turn this into a black white thing. Em will never win because of his skin color. Yall adding fuel to his fire. Anyway as far as best album of 2010 yall musta forgot abt big boi and the roots album. Both of these albums greater than teflon don!
and lastly, why the FUCK is what rick ross chose to do a clear indication of the direction of the entire culture/music genre?
that’s just over-analyzing. she needs to chill. you talkin’ loud but you ain’t said TOO much.
Is winning a BET award really that important tho? I didnt even know Soul Train award happened until this post
damn soul train …..smh
To make a point, regardless of Em’s skin color he’s “hip hop” in which hip hop is “Black music”
Get the picture? Or are yall niggas too dumb to understand anything? And Rick Ross negro please his shit aint hot. His shit flopped, “Selling records doesnt mean anything” yeah that’s no big deal, of course it only stands for how many fans you have and how many people got off their ass to buy your shit, but yeah record sales dont matter. Suckas.
Real hip hop wins again!
Hip hop fans will hate on Ross for having a Correctional Officer job and being dishonest about it when the hip hop culture has utterly NO respect for authority. So you can’t expect those with this type of mentality to be rational about the fact that Eminem won a Soul Train Award when his music represents ABSOLUTELY NO SOUL but pop.
@Nathaniel I sort of agree with what ur saying but I’m not saying em has had zero affect on black culture. Rap is black culture and hes had an affect on rap and therefore has an affect on black youth. On the other hand its still a little weird to see a white dude walk away with the award. I don’t think Ross should have won it either. The roots at least should be on everyone’s minds
If this an award for black culture, then in terms of black culture Mr. Ross shouldn’t be near winning it. No fucking way. Em hasn’t contributed much either, but in reality, this isn’t about race. We as black people are so quick to pull the fucking race card. Come on people.
EM beat ROSS when Teflon Don came out too Em had the #1 album that week. No wonder Ross is mad Kanye shrug.
@Drucifer
i doubt he would have. it ain’t the first award his fat ass done lost, haha. i can’t tell if chrisette has caught feelings because he walked off, period, of if she understands he walked off the this specific reason i’m indicating and has issue with that. either way,
his reasons are race related. so i ain’t the one “making it about race”. i just understand the sentiment. if ross speaks out, my theory will be confirmed.
if niggas don’t see lynchings, water hoses, slave quarters, and “nigger!” shouting… a lot of us can’t SEE the so-called “race factor”. we shouldn’t be so afraid.
jay-z boycotted the grammy’s back in like 98. he understood THEN that WE weren’t getting our just due. not because hip hop was hip hop, but because hip hop was black youth cultural expression. that’s what they didn’t respect. so when BET heralds eminem as he panders to white youth with his music JUST because he raps, as if hip hop isn’t US (hollywood divorce shit)…. SOME of us want to preserve the integrity of that culture. pretty simple, really.
@Feenixa
Did Eminem attended the Soul Train Awards?
This bitch chrisette just bragged abt how she is different and then asked if she had an ego in the same sentence! Where Dey do dat at? Yes bitch u DO have an ego!
@nathaniel, what effect did bmf have on black culture? club beats dont influence shit bro… or maybe u just like to dance
