It's nice to see MTV expand it wings, this time to Africa:

The awards program will take place in November. Should be interesting, right?

Don't Punch Me for Bloggin About the BET Awards

I was on the fence about this post. I know it's over a week old, but that Al Green set was FYE-ur! That's fire if you can't follow my slang; I should keep it simple, right?

I could really give a hoot about who won since many of the winners were not present anyway, but the performances were ... interesting.

Since I've mentioned Al Green, I will focus on that. His musical tribute began w/Jill Scott; followed by Anthony Hamilton and then Maxwell. I enjoyed Scott and Hamilton, but where the hell did they dig up Maxwell. I absolutely LOVED his performance. He looked fly and sounded even better. Where the hell has he been ...?

Now, since the Rev. Al has taken that title, I expected a gospel set. How pleasantly surprised when he broke out w/his classic! His voice was wonderful; he had a sense of humor and everyone was enjoying his performance.

So check out this post on OkayPlayer.com with their recap and a clip of the Al Green performance.

Wow ... how mad is that?

So another outdoor music fest has come and gone that being Bonnaroo. It's almost like another awards show being over and Kanye did not receive an award ... yep, you guessed it - someone is mad as all get out! That someone is Kanye.

And here's a little of the backstory.
