  5. Am I the only one that was confused as to why the hell Lil Mama came on stage? Jay-Z did not look happy about that. And, yeah, I know it’s stating the obvious…but, goddamn, Alicia Keys….just perfection personified.

  14. Great Performance…but daaaamn Alicia…hell of a woman!

  15. damn my lady alicia keys was lookin fine…lil mama stay lookin like bow wow wit a wig.

  16. Why do the wackest people have to come on and ruin Hov’s performances….T-Pain when he was performing DOA and now Lil Mama. What the fuck.

    Other than that Jay killed it and Alicia Keys did her thing. Beyonce seemed to like it, ha.

  17. To be honest i liked the girl a Madison Square singing more I liked seeing Alicia more though

  18. Californiabbboy, NIGGA!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP YA DUMB ASS MUTHAFUCKA. YOUR DUMB AS SHIT. nIGGGA YOU SHOULDNT EVEN BE WATCHING MTV, STICK TO WHAT YOUR USED TO, BET FOR YOU ALL DAY BAYBEE!!! lol

  19. Did anyone else catch Jay saying something about T-Pain when she came up?

  20. Ok here we go.

    Why does Keys have stripper shoes on lol, and where in the hell did lil mama come from? Overall good performance.

  21. white music suckssssss

  22. LOL, hov look like jimmy!

  23. yeah I heard him sayin somethih bout T-Pain like come on up or somethin but Lil Mama popped up outta no where but good performance by Jay and my girl Alicia sexy ass

  24. lol at that Rhapsody commercial with Taylor Swift
    right after all that West business.
    “This moment belongs to Taylor Swift” coincidence? lol

  25. Really Lil Mama?!
    Go walk on a tightrope at the UniverSoul Circus with no safety net and fail.
    smh wow.

  26. http://nahright.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kanye-vma-henny.jpg

  27. see Jay swipe his hand at lil mommy. Like “itch get off the stage” yeah what a dumb night for kanye and lil mommy.

  28. lmao i don’t remember him looking her way… she took a big L

  29. my boy said ‘o shit iano bow wow was cool like that with Hov to just jump on stage and shit. learn something new everyday’

    *dead*

  30. LOL HOLD ON Eminem forgot to mention Drake’s name. God damn, he even collaborated with the motherfucker.

  31. C’mon dude. He wasn’t naming EVERYBODY he’s ever worked with. I’m a huge Drake fan, but Em ain’t have to shout him out. WTF. I don’t even remember him shouting out Lil Wayne or Kanye. C’mon guy.

  32. Everybody is talking because of what Kanye did, but what is lil mama doing trying to steal the spotlight from Jay & A. Keys for? Nobody paid any attention to her midget a$$

  33. Ya why did lil mama come out? She didnt rap or anything. I support Kanyes move though…. MTV is on some bullshit… they don’t support real artists. Taylor Swift… Are you serious? MTV’s viewing audience are immature kids who buy into advertisments… followers, not leaders. fuck the vma’s. russell brand? why? not funny at all… did anyone laugh at his jokes… crickets. He’s funny in movies though. It was better than last year I’ll give em that… but lady gaga… weird person. to god and to the gays. Really?

  34. jigga told her “you T-pain’n it now huh”..lol

  35. Damn lil mama did take a big L lmao. Jay looked at her and asked where t-pain was at then ignored her ass

  36. oh and how does beyonce win best video of the year, but lose to talor swift for best female video of the year? reeeeeeeediculous.

  37. @ blazer that’s exactly what I’m sayin fam. They had that biz fixed from the get go. Beyonce giving Taylor her chance for her acceptance speech after Kanye’s fiasco about Beyonce. Sounds like Mtv pulling their strings to make it another “hot and crazy” year.

  38. i really wouldnt have had any problem whatsoever with Jay just taking one hand and shoving Lil Mama off the stage and laughing at her while she takes a big faceplant,even after that shit Ye pulled,i’d still find it apt.

  39. lol @ Jay Daniels. Drake (& Wayne) stans are annoying. why in gods name would Em shout out Drake?? Drake aint his boss or nothin,Em never shouted out Xzibit or Sticky Fingaz just because he collaborated with them… lets be real here. collabs dont mean shit really, $50 says Em just sent in his verse without meeting Drake at all. fuck outta here

  40. 50 bucks*

    the dollar sign just looks like an ‘S’,i had to make it clear(er) for slower folk…

  41. what the fuck is wrong with lil bow wow(aka lil mama) going up there to ruin Jay’s moment?!! Hov looked pissed. XD. ‘Ye was faded as fuck going up there…I understand, the henny can sometimes betray you. Random act of fuckery on his part.

  42. I think Lil Mama came out just to dick ride New York….cause HOV represented.

  43. [...] 2dopeboyz AKPC_IDS += “4291,”;Popularity: unranked [?] [...]

  44. who let bow wow on the stage?????????

  45. LMAO aha yeah b wtf did lil mama come from isnt she suppposed to be judging ABDC.

  46. Kanye Fail….

    Lil Mama Fail….

    WOW…that’s the BEST NEW ARTIST????????????????? SMH Major Fail….

  47. id take alicia over beyonce anyday

  48. lil mama looked like she was wasted the fuck outta her mind

  49. they said she officially kicked out of BK

  50. fuck taylor swift i hate that bitch she thinks shes all that nobody listins to country she only got it cuz shes white little bitch

    ————————————————-

    Leave the racial comments out of this. kanye was in the wrong and every1 knows that shit!

    Kanye has gotten to big for his bridges and needs to be brought back down to reality.

    Yes Beyonce’s video was better but WHO REALLY CARES!

    MTV is not even known for playing music videos anymore so why bitch andcry about it (Kanye). And to californiabooty u sound like a little ignorant girl who only sees color and not the person in front of u.

  51. r u fukin serious…noone said Em should have gava Drake a “shout out”…he named the contestants for best new artist n forgot to say drake…c’mon kidz.

  52. k. LIL MAMA COMING IN AT THE END OF JAY’S PERFORMANCE FOR NO REASON, PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN YE FUCKING UP TAYLOR’S SPEECH. LIL MAMA AINT SHIT AND SHE HAD NO PART OF THE SONG SO SHE REALLY DOESNT DESERVE TO BE ON THE SAME STAGE AS JAY.

  53. I miss Yo! MTV Raps…

    any real dopeboyz remember those days?

  54. I didn’t say Eminem should shout out Drake. When he presented the award for best new artist. He was reading out all the nominee’s and forgot to mention Drake’s name. He was SUPPOSED to mention drakes name he was in the category.

  55. Kanye made himself look like an idiot and then tried to apologize on his blog. That nigga was carrying a Henny bottle and sipping all night with his bald head bitch. People are still gonna buy his music — so all this doesn’t matter. Lil Mama should stayed her frail ass in the crowd. You can even hear Jay say “you T-Paining me?!” when she got on. Then he did the youngin brush off. She played herself.
