GRAMMY RECAP: WEEZY WINS BIG LAST NIGHT
Rap star Lil Wayne ignited the 51st Grammy Awards Sunday Night with his performance and winning four trophies. Leaving a lasting impression, “The Greatest Rapper Alive” took home Rap Album of the Year for Tha Carter III, Best Rap Solo performance for “A Mili”, rap song for “Lollipop” and rap/sung collaboration for “Swagga Like Us” during the pre-telecast.
Weezy joined Allen Toussaint, Terence Blanchard and Robin Thicke for a musical salute to New Orleans for the Hurricane Katrina Victims which led the nominee field going into tonight with nods in eight categories.
A source says, “In pre-telecast Grammy Awards, Kanye West won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with Estelle for “American Boy” and the Best Duo or Group Performance with Jay-Z and T.I. for “Swagga Like Us.” Mary J. Blige celebrated early, with a win for Best Contemporary R&B Album for Growing Pains. The production duo StarGate snagged Best R&B Song for their work on Ne-Yo’s “Miss Independent” — which also won for Best R&B Vocal Performance. Will.I.Am won for Best Urban/Alternative Performance for his bit on Chrisette Michele’s “Be OK.” Alicia Keys added to her Grammy shelf with a Best Female R&B Vocal Performance statue for her “Superwoman.”
The showcase also featured mega performances.
“Jennifer Hudson performed an emotionaly charged performance of “You Pulled Me Through.” T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and MIA sang “Swagga Like Us.” T.I. also performed later on with Justin Timberlake. Lil’ Wayne performed “Tie My Hands” with Robin Thicke. (Chicago Tribune)”.
Various artists scheduled to perform canceled their attendance at the last minute.
“Usher’s wife has a plastic surgery emergency in BRAZIL and he missed his performance at Clive Davis’ pre Grammy party. Clearly, he won’t be at the Grammys. Chris Brown may have allegedly gotten into some kind of altercation involving a woman in a limo. Police are investigating and Rihanna, who along with Brown was scheduled to perform at the Grammys isn’t going to show up. (Los Angeles Times)”.

I have to say, I LOVE Lil Wayne and extremely proud of him!!!!!!!!!!! I am a huge fan I am sooooooo happy to see him get exactly what he deserves. His Carter III album was OUTSTANDING. I have listened to it every day since it hit the stores. I wore it out and had to get another one. I took my 18 year old to the show when he was in DC and I have to say, it was the BEST SHOW I have EVER been too. Very High Energy. I was jumping up and down and singing every word just like the kids. (I’m 45 years young) LOL.
