Concert Pics: Jay Z, Answer’s The Call Along With Celebrity Friends & Wifey

By: Pianca Pink

Jay Z took on the stage at Madi­son Square Gar­den on 9/11 in true Brooklyn form, where he can never do any wrong.  If anyone ever for­got why they were a fan, well this con­cert cer­tainly remin­ded them of it, inc­lu­ding me. I must say, watching this con­cert on tele­vi­sion sort of made a tad bit envious of those  in the Gar­den fee­ling it live and up close… The show was suc­cess and all the pro­ceeds went to the New York Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Bene­fit Fund in honor of Sep­tem­ber 11. Check out the pics below…

Note to MTV: Cut Liquor Out of the Budget Next Year!

By: Stepha­lo­city

Sooooooo.…wow what a show! And MTV didn’t even plan out the best parts! LOL The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards took place in my home­town, New York City in the famous Radio City Music Hall!

Let’s com­mence with the objec­tive of all these spe­cial colla­bo­ra­tions. The Michael Jack­son Tri­bute! Did MTV triumph BET’s attempt? Most defi­ni­tely! Ope­ning the show — the Queen of Pop spoke on the King of Pop. Madonna sha­red with the world, her rela­tionship with MJ. Her heart felt words touched all of his fans and nothing less would’ve been appro­priate! Then dan­cers in cha­rac­ter colla­ded a homage to the King of Pop, to his grea­test hits and enters Janet Jack­son! She per­for­med the chart top­per Scream as the video pla­yed in the big screen, as if she were sin­ging it live with her brother. Truly dope, well pro­du­ced and Janet nai­led it. As a fan I com­mend her, no mat­ter how much time has pas­sed, it never gets easier!

Unfor­tu­na­tely, the Kanye West — Tay­lor Swift inci­dent rob­bed the tribute’s thun­der and is the most tal­ked moment on twit­ter. Tay­lor Swift won Best Female Video and Kanye took her mic expres­sing Beyonce’s — Sin­gle Ladies was the best video of the decade and she deser­ved to win that award, gave back the mic and wal­ked back to his seat to the boo’s of the crowd. Poor Tay­lor Swift left speech­less and depres­sed. I mean it was her first VMA award…damn ‘Ye — you couldn’t let her shine? It’s not always about u homie!

Shortly after, Kanye ended up at home wri­ting this apo­logy to Tay­lor Swift on is blog… SMH @ you Yeezy!

“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!”

What do we say, do we for­give him or not? Ehhh… I don’t know, might take some redemp­tion for that one, Mr. West.

Moving on to this pic­ture, it looks like Kanye got too Henny happy and soon after the inci­dent he and his date were escor­ted out…smh! Blame it on the Henny I guess, Amber Rose keep an eye on your man!

T-Pain talkin’ crazy @ Rehab yet Jay-Z keeps his cool

T-Pain is obviously des­pe­rate for atten­tion. How are you going to talk trash about Hov after you were on stage with him on sum­mer jam like everything was all good. I mean really, I don’t get this dude and quite frankly, I’m not trying to.

T-Pain will never accom­plish what Jay has so who really cares what he has to say… I surely don’t.

On the other hand, here is the audio of Jay’s res­ponse to T-Pains diss. As always, Jay is as cool as a cucum­ber and says he hopes T-Pain had fun saying what he said LOL…

Q-Tip & Mark Ronson present “Long Live the King! A Birthday Celebration for Michael Jackson” at the NOKIA Theatre NYC

By: Johanna V.

Last night, on what would have been Michael Jackson’s 51st birth­day,  Q Tip, Mark Ron­son, and DJ Spinna held a birth­day cele­bra­tion for The King of Pop at the Nokia Thea­tre in Times Square, NYC.

From the minute I wal­ked in the energy in this place was crazy.  Pac­ked wall to wall with all types of peo­ple dan­cing and sin­ging in their MJ tees and shiny glo­ves.  There is no doubt that Q-Tip and Mark Ron­son had the crowd com­ple­tely enth­ra­lled last night.  I com­mend Mark Ron­son for being strong and giving us a great per­for­mance des­pite the recent loss of DJ AM which was one of his best friends.

Most memo­ra­ble moments were Quincy Jones calling in live, Tip brin­ging Marsha from Flo­wetry on stage for “but­ter­flies”, Mark Ron­son tal­king about DJ AM, and the fun­niest moment was Q-Tip and the whole venue doing the ELECTRIC SLIDE! LMAO! It was nothing but love in there!

Michael Jack­son and DJ AM may no lon­ger be here but they will defi­ni­tely never be forgotten.
