Okay, now for my two cents...


Kanye and GOOD Music shut it down out the gate! BET, I'm pleasantly proud. Wow, they did a cut away of Kim Kardashian during Kanye's performance. The show coverage of Kanye and Kim is definitely about to be all over E! TV.. Wow, Spike Lee and Samuel L Jackson rapped "Niggas In Paris" and did Spike really have on a leather kilt?? Shout out to The Throne for winning best group.. The awards show is making me feel like BET is bringing back good music and Hip Hop is finally being reborn again.. Congrats to Kevin Hart for winning Best Actor! I'm glad the under dog is winning.. I know some of yall mad cuz he beat out Denzel and Idris, but damn let that man have his shine.. He's been doing the damn thing lately! My heart got reeeally warm seeing the original VJ, Donnie Simpson, Free, AJ, Big Tigga, Rocsi and Terrence J.. I mean being a BET personality was my original dream after watching 106 & Park for the first time when I was 14 years old! The guy who performed for BET Music Matters sound just like Cee-Lo so I wasn't impressed.. Anybody who know's me know how I feel about Nicki Minaj, BUT she killed her performance with 2 Chainz.. Truuuu! lol.. Shout out to Wale for winning, but damn, I really wanted Bey to take Best Collaboration home.. I mean she did attend the show and all lol.. Melanie Fiona sang her lil heart out!.. D'Angelo definitely hasn't lost any of his talent or R&B swagg during his industry absence.. Shout out to King Bey for taking home Best Female R&B, but did you expect anybody else to win?!.. Kevin Hart is hilarious talking about how he's the highest grossed boot leg movie maker of all time!


The Frankie Beverly and Maze tribute was absolutely heavenly... Joe, Tyrese, and Faith Evans did an amazing job.. He brought his grand kids on stage, that was beautiful.. He had better share the wisdom and tell us to "wait on the Lord a little bit and he'll show us some things"... They've been around for 40 years! Frankie told us not to fall for the flavor of the week, to do our music! Tyrese and Joe joined Frankie Beverly and Maze during their performance.. I loved the energy of black love and black family of the awards show!


Shout out to Jamie Foxx and Tarantino for creating the movie "Django Unchained" which comes out during the Christmas Holiday!


I am toooootally disappointed in Chris Brown's performance! How was that snippet of a performance, it. He did well, but it left me wanting more.. I guess that's a good problem for him. 


BET got Mariah Carey for Whitney's tribute!! Monica kicked it off singing "I Love the Lord".. I am so happy with BET right now for giving Whitney the tribute she deserves.. Lord.. Brandy came out killing it with "I'm Your Baby Tonight".. She better do it!!! Nippy is smiling in heaven right now... BET has done her justice!!... Cissy Houston performed for her daughter and took everybody to church once again.. They brought out the old Waiting to Exhale crew too.. Chaka Khan came out looking like a brand new woman!! You go girl! :-)


Whoa, what a bomb Solange's man just dropped, "the love of his life"... wow, that's what's up.. keep it in the family, Bey.... Shout out to Tyga.. That dude turned up the awards show with his performance by himself! 


BET, yall got it aaaall the way right this time!
