T-Pain is just sucking on Lil Wayne’s d**k here. Lil Wayne won EVERY prize that he was nominated for except for. Oh, and Henry, you forgot a few points, such as best live performer.

Plus, it’s beyond me how Shawty Lo could win best rookie of the year.

If you are from the uk and know about grime every person would say dizzee is a sellout if only makes music that will do goood in the charts. Dizzee Rascal doesn not want to be apart of grime music no more and doesnt like to be associated with other grime artists e.g wiley wants to forget there beef and do a major tour but dizzee wont because he is selfish and wants the glory for himself. Also if you listen to his latest album ‘maths + english’ you can tell he is no longer grime when you compare it to ‘boy in da corner’. Although I hate Dizzee Rascal, boy in da corner I still bang that cd most of the time. If you know kano was he was a sellout leaving everbody behind for the glory and he lost hiscontract so he came back to his roots and is make brilliant music again.
