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.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.

j cole should have got a best new artist nomination
YN! HA!
WACK!!!!
Kreayshawn “Gucci Gucci” ? Really though. -_-
Why the fuck Gayfish nom. for?All of the light video?
For dancing on a cop car like Diddy really? SMH
disgusting.
Damn they sure are setting it up nice for Tyler, The Creator to win video of the year…..those are bad nominations. Bruno Mars? Beastie Boys? yeaaaaah, suure.
SWAG MAN!!
KANYE BETTA WIN EVERYTHING
Damn Big Homie/RapRadar are such bandwagons. Smh, hey YN wheres that new Hopsin at? HAAAAAAA You guys are bigger bitches than shake from 2dope, at least he has a taste for real music(kinda?).
kreayshawn and tyler. that’s crazy.
Btw the ones that should win are:
Rolling In The Deep (video-wise, its the best)
Big Sean or Foster the People(hipster gon’ be mad they there)
I wanna saw All of the Light but…… So The Show Goes On should get it
Cee-Lo Green’s Fuck You
Beyonce, just cuz i love that bitch & her ass
I guess Rolling in the Deep, don’t really fuck with pop
Pumped Up Kicks, that song is dope.
All Of The Lights
Power, of course.
Run The World (Girls)
Run The World (Girls)
E.T., i guess, fuck Em, hes garbage.
All of the Lights
& lastly Power.
WTF? most of these nominees are wack as fuck.
Whats with all the hate directed at RR?? They are simply bringing you some news that you may or may not be interested in. @Bawse Where in this post did RR ever “bandwagon”? Get off your OWN dick.
Regardless, I do agree that these nomination are f’ed up. Its gonna be a shame to look back on todays “hit”, 15 years from now. I think i’ll go back to listening to my K.Dot now.. section 80 has way more relevance than any of the singles mentioned above.
RR = OFWGKTA dick riders? it seems so.
I wonder how much Baby & Slim paid to get Nicki those 3 nominations. We all know they are paying for that dick sucking hoe to do everything. WACK.
@CarreraLu did i allow you to speak to me?
@Bawse!
HAHAHA
You said some stupid shit, so I called you out on it. Go cry about it.
Nah RR=JayZ ass licker
You would think that nigga was paying them?
@Jane Doe
^
HEY HOE YOU BITCHES ARE PUT ON THIS EARTH FOR 1 THING. AND THAT IS TO SUCK DICK AND COOK! SO WHAT THE FUCK YOUR POINT HOE?
umm…if i had a famous rap blog i would put an extra emphasis on the artists that i like too…why would i ever want to check an “objective” rap blog? music in general is just opinions. there’s no right or wrong. i don’t just want new music…i want commentary, opinions, etc…it’s not dickriding, it’s blogging faggots.
who else on this list wrote the treatment, directed the video, made the beat and rapped? Well deserved
i never understand how it can be nominated for video of the year but not best hiphop video or best male video. these awards are all jokes
@James Tru dat my nigga word 2 james brown
The hate is hilarious.. all this guy done has won on his own terms.. you dont like it, dont listen.. but theres a BOATLOAD of kids ALL OVER THE WORLD who do so let us enjoy one of our own getting some shine
@CarreraLu cool story bro. Talk to me once you leave you moms basement.
@xtrajordinary

YN or Amaya dont catch feeling? Just make sure you fix your lip when you finsh ya dig?
FUCK MTV.
@Bawse!
Nice try. Game over.
They call what that kid does music?
@converse catch feeling?
What is so special about the Yonkers video? Tyler just seems like a lost soul who will do anything for attention. The nigga needs to meet his poppa or something. He has misplaced anger and no respect for anyone.
So Tron Cat Bruno Mars got best new artist i the bag but I would pay to see a OF acceptance speech would rival Kanye/Taylor and ODB combined

These Niggas Are Legends
hell yeah katy perry doing the katy cats proud i am so excited to see how many she wins, so excited for the show.
Tyler the Creator (west coast), Kreayshawn (west coast), Wiz khalifa (Pittsburgh… But highly influenced by the West Coast)… It’s our turn again. West Craven… It’s a Scary thing.
….YAWN!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
I hope they get a badass host cause most of the nominees are bull shit. Rihanna’s S&M not being nominated is a crime
co-sign @COLD DEATH. And what the fuck is an adele??!
FUCK MTV .. music television ? fuck that !every time I turn on MTV, they are promoting a new stupid “reality” show .vma’s = garbage
Adele & Kanye
That’s it! Forget the rest!
tyler wack as fuck
Obviously MTV wants other artist to win awards like they do every year. Katy is winning the video of the year award, even though kanye and lady gaga had better videos. Love the way you lie?! Seriously, that shit is too old! Kreyshawn?! Unsighned hype gets a nod already?! SMDH
MTV still has video’s….?!
:shock:
I really hopes Tyler sees this video. Hopsin should win!

well deserved for kanye, and tyler?? wtf
Just cuz you niggas only listen to “Hip Hop” doesnt mean MTV can’t choose other genres. This isnt a hip hop award show kids…
