Finally, hip-hop gets some televised love. Without Kanye West; Jigga, Rihanna, and Julez (Solange’s son) accepted a Grammy tonight for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Run This Town”. Guess Hov is for the children.

Okay Yayo. In honor of the King of Pop, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson, and Usher gave a rendition of MJ’s “Earth Song”. Lighters up.

Not everyone walked away with a golden phonograph tonight. Here are a few tweets from tonight’s biggest losers. No TV show. Can someone forward Fab an MP3?

Beyoncé brought out the riot squad during her performance of “If I Were A Boy” and Alanis Morissette’s “You Ought To Know”. Hey, Mrs. Carter!

The-Dream gets no respect. After winning a Grammy for his work on Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”, Dream’s acceptance speech is cut short by the orchestra. Ah, Terius, they didn’t let you finish!

Before the televised ceremony, Grammy’s were awarded in the Rap category. 21 years later, they still don’t give a fuck about us. Heads Up: Jimmy

With Nas seated nearby, Com Sense ends a songwriting discussion event with an impromptu performance of his Badu-blessed big hit. Bizarre but cool. Devi Dev

Still waiting for a real CDQ. Heads Up: Rap Up

Ha.) and is that “Kryptonite” I hear as the backing track for”What’s Your Fantasy”? Damn, next time! VIBE

Justin and Drake weren’t the only guests at Timbo’s Friday night set at the House of Blues. The top MC from the West not named Snoop popped up and attempted to go off-the-head on the mic. Too bad, Chuck can’t freestyle for shit. “I love pussy like Cap’N Crunch”? Terrible! YK2
