Was she advertising this album at the show? I think what Shabaab meant by "no promotion" was "no promotion of the album", not "no promotion of herself".

He had a baby because Jay did it. He got engaged because Jay did it. This is totally creepy

Apparently we're supposed to do that thing where we disingenuously dismiss rap artists as arch misogynists because of their lyrics, which isn't at all suspect. Obviously rappers never rap "in character." Because that's not a well-established thing, or anything. Clearly "99 Problems" literally expresses Jay-Z's…

You think that Jay Z will not stand up for his wife because he wrote the song "99 Problems." I think that is insane. Even if you judge the man from songs alone, that ignores Crazy in Love, Bonnie & Clyde, and Part II (On The Run) (sample lyric, directly on point: Touch a nigga where his rib at, I click clat, Push A…

Bey and Jay will respond after the convulsive laughter subsides.

It started out kind of embarrassing, but it's getting very creepy. Calling Bey out by name? My guess is he's about to find out that he doesn't have quite as free a pass from Jay as he thought he did.

i'm so mad about this comment....I am a Kanye apologist constantly but this is a step too far. HOW DARE HE DISRESPECT QUEEN B.

I thought he must have been high when he said that. Also this single white female (single black male?) act that he's doing with Bey and Jay has to stop.

"I am going to make Kim Kardashian a bigger performer than Beyonce," said Kanye. "Me and Kim will soon be the first couple of Hip Hop."

I'm never surprised by people breaking up/divorcing anymore, especially when it happens in Hollywood. Also, there were rumors that Taye Diggs was being a Dogg (sorry, horrible joke I know :p) and cheated with multiple women. Just goes to show you that you never know what's really going on behind the scenes in a…

Do Black women not make pop music? Because I'm pretty sure Beyoncé is the Queen of Fucking Everything. The End.

Honestly, MTV stopped being relevant as an arbiter of musical taste when they stopped showing music videos. Oh, 2 decades or so ago.

Dog+cat owners usually allow cats to scratch and bite dogs, because it's "cute", but if a dog even snaps back at a cat they get yelled at.

How is it you don't understand the difference between an aquarium and Sea World? You're comparing a zoo with a circus where animals are captured in the wild and tortured for our amusement. There is nothing ethical or constructive about circus tricks.

Did her album miss the cut off date? I assume it missed the cut off date because it was the best album of the year.

What is happening with this bowtie here? It's giganimous and floppy and ridiculous-looking.

Blurred Lines is nominated, but nothing by Janelle Monáe is nominated?

Best vocal pop performance includes both "Roar" and "Brave"?

Seriously, there is no reason why the love interests of the Hollywood leading men couldn't be any of these women. Is anyone going to act like it would be a mystery why a Ryan Gosling or whoever the girls are into these days might be marreid to Nia Long or Gabrielle Union or Sanaa Lathan? I mean, plus, whereas you…

I remember Jasmine Guy talking about that years ago, during the time that Different World was very popular and she had gotten some roles in some "black films."
