Keith Sweat "One On One" (2002)

That's a good song AJ Dru Hill "You Are Everything"(Remix Feat. Ja Rule)

is there a way we could hear that whole sway interview?

I'd say the music industry been tasteless for years so it's not really surprising that there's tasteless stuff on these award shows, I give Natalie Grant credit for taking a stand

nice job and welcome to the board

cool stuff, taty doing big things

cool stuff

Snoop Dogg Feat. Justin Timberlake & Charlie Wilson "Signs", happy birthday Uncle Charlie!

Tonight I was watching the State Of The Union delivered by President Obama: Since Super Bowl 48 is on Sunday I've been watching some of the previews on ESPN: Top 10 dunks from last weeks's NBA games: Top 10 NHL hits from last week: Now I'm watching this Joel Osteen sermon to meditate before bed, good night and god bless: http://youtu.be/o_KBut9Tla8

Since we were mentioning the Grammies, here's this dope LL Cool J performance with Chuck D, Z-Trip, and Travis Barker "Whaddup" from the 2013 show: Another LL Cool J performance with DMC performing "Going Back To Cali" and "Peter Piper": I found this behind the scenes demo with my favorite producer (besides Jazzy Jeff) Teddy Riley showing his genius at work: Speaking of Teddy Riley, I've been playing a lot of Blackstreet lately "No Diggity" baby:

I remember that there used to be a thread called "What are you watching?" in this forum, I tried digging out, couldn't find it, it was one of my favorite threads so I figure I'd bring it back, feel free to post some of the favorite videos you enjoy watching, keep it appropriate though I was online last night talking to one of my friends and he referred me to this video of the top male performances of American Idol: I also watched the top 10 American Idol performances ever last night: Recently I was watching "Michael Jordan Come Fly With Me" on NBATV: http://youtu.be/jAeOhSITASk

Thanks for the link Schnazz, Congrats to all the winners, thanks for the list AJ, I know the music industry ain't perfect but it did turn out to be a good awards show, btw here's the John Legend "All Of Me" performance: http://youtu.be/M754ysmwTGU

Lorde "Royals"

JJFP feat. Biz Markie and Slick Rick "So Fresh" http://youtu.be/ASGUIT9Vnqc

Well I ain't gonna dwell anymore in this thread about the crap state of the music industry, btw here's that Macklemore/Lewis/Queen Latifah/Mary Lambert/Madonna "Same Love" performance: http://youtu.be/A6OVxPiZQDc

My verdict on Macklemore & Lewis is the same as basically every popular hip hop artist that's been out since 2000, there's some rappers that show a breath of fresh air in between(On another note I enjoyed their performance with Madonna and Queen Latifah doing that marriage ceremony, that was touching) but they ain't on the same level as the 1980s/1990s golden age hip hop legends who made great music back then and still put out quality music today... In my opinion LL Cool J's "Authentic" is one of the most unique hip hop albums in years 'cause it experiments with legends from different genres like Earth Wind & Fire, Charlie Wilson, Monica, Bootsy Collins, Brad Paisley, Snoop, Chuck D, and Eddie Van Halen to make a unique piece of music genius, this is probably my most played LL album since he put out "G.O.A.T." in 2000 which shoulda won best hip hop album over "Marshall Mathers LP" back then, I also liked the 2013 albums from KRS One, Hieroglyphics, and Pete Rock but they never get any mainstream attention anyway even when they had somewhat popularity in the 1990s, the fact that some of the greatest emcees like Nas, Chuck D, 2Pac, Biggie, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, and Talib Kweli never won any Grammies tells you that the music industry don't respect hip hop the way that they should, and LL even made a statement in the beginning of the show when he was hosting about how millions of people don't know that he makes music too besides hosting the show is a telling and disturbing sign of hip hop 'cause he's arguably the greatest emcee of the genre and if people don't know about the greatest emcee of the genre then they don't respect hip hop that's like talking about comedy and not knowing who Bill Cosby is

I'd be more excited if I heard will and jay-z were doing a song together rather than this

I heard Macklemore & Lewis won several Grammies in the hip hop category already, I have nothing against them but I just don't see all the hype there to get all the accolades like that

The state of the music industry has been in shambles for a long time but I could say I'm at least looking forward to seeing LL Cool J hosting(his brilliant album "Authentic" not getting any nominations shows the state of the game) and the Jay-Z/Beyoncé performance which is more than most of the recent Grammy shows, if anybody's looking forward to anything from tonight's show post it here

JJFP "A Touch Of Jazz", Happy Birthday Jeff!
