If I could describe the 2009 Bet Hip Hop Awards in one word I would say Gucci. Rapper, Gucci Mane made several appearances on tonight’s Hip Hop Awards. I must say tonight was his time to shine. Even Soulja Boy’s performance was centered around Gucci; both the fashion label and the rapper. I would have to say that BET was very successful at putting the spotlight on Atlanta’

s hip hop and rap artists. With Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy and The Dream making at least 2 appearances on stage for performances, it was clear where the award show was hosted.

It was very entertaining to see Snoop Dogg back on stage in his Parental Advisory jeans. And who knew Kid and Play would make an appearance doing their famous dance on stage together to present an award. Goodie Mob gave us all a taste of what Hip Hop in Atlanta really is from their lyrical flow on to their classic singles and their unique fashion sense. Who can forget Jay-Z and Jeezy’s performance? They make a great collaboration.

Mike Epps did an extraordinary job as the host. Unlike some other comedians who host an award show, he was able to entertain, keep the audiences interest and bring live to the show in between award presentations and performances. Nice choice of host this year BET!

Ice Cube was the perfect honoree of the 2009 Bet Hip Hop Awards’ I Am Hip Hop Award. Ice Cube’

s influence on Hip Hop music as a rapper, accomplishments in the community, success as a actor and in his own film business make for all the reasons why he deserved this award.

Missy Elliot and Fatima Robinson, who both coincidentally worked close Aaliyah, also deserved their honors for their influence in the Hip Hop culture. These women especially made an impact by being a couple of the very few success stories for women in this genre of music. Missy is the only woman in Hip Hop to have 6 platinum albums. Her creativity is displayed in her different sense of music and the expression of her songs in her distinct videos. Fatima is one of the best choreographers Hip Hop has known. She creatively put together the most entertaining and trendsetting dances seen in the videos and concerts in artists such as Brandy, Busta Rhymes, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, Prince, OutKast and more.g others.

The BET Hip Hop Awards always seems to surprise it’

s audience with something completely different and new each year. Keep a close watch, you may never know what to expect in the upcoming years.

Young Jeezy did his first concert at Club Crucial, which is Atl’s #1 hoodspot. All of Bankhead came out to show him love here are all the pictures…

My homie Tiny came out to show love since Tip could not be there..

I was at the club the other night and Young Jeezy came out with his new Boo. I really dont know much about her but if you do please let me know… 

Birthday Bash 14, which was put on by Hot 107.9 at Atlanta’s Phillips Arena on June 20th , was another huge success. Major artists gave HOT performances like Young Dro, Keri Hilson, Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Plies, Bow Wow, and Trey Songz just to name a few. Definitely have to re-shout out to Gucci Mane, who I felt had the best performance hands down and Young Jeezy who brought out Mary J Blige and Lil’ Wayne.

In case you didn’t know :

Mary J. Blige didn’t perform because some IDIOT left her track CD. That person needs to immediately do us all a favor that were in attendance and kill themselves.

Fabolous getting booted off the stage was his own fault. Fabolous was given 10 mins to  perform and missed his call time, so the show had to change it and gave him 5 mins after being onstage over his time they had cut the mic. When he decided to take matters into his own hands and ignore his time, they booted his butt off the stage. Not only did he throw his mic down on the stage behind him, he also went on his Twitter account referring to Birthday Bash as “Thursday Trash”. All I’m going to say on that one is come out with some NEW songs then you might get the time on stage you think you deserve. I am told that he is not allowed at the radio station anymore and his music might not be getting any plays or support. That was really dumb of him.

Well I’m not going to name any names, but many of your fave celebs were acting extremely Hollywood. Just so I’m not leaving you completely in the dark I will say it was one of the female performers that had maybe 15 claps in an audience of 20,000. I got more dirt but I will tell y’all about that later.. You can see all the pictures from the concert on Gossiponthis.com.

 Ciara celebrated the release of “Fantasy Ride” last week, I know that it took me a long time to post the pictures but I was told that I could not post my pictures on my site until after friday. But I will tell yall about all that drama later today. Back to CiCi, had one of the biggest album release parties that I have been to yet.   Now I have to say a lot of haters keep saying that her Phantom was ropoed, but that’s nothing but a lie, Ciara pulled up  in her  Phantom (a rumored gift from 50 Cent). Celebrities that came out to support her included Monica, Young Jeezy, Juelz Santana, Nene Leakes (Housewives of Atlanta), Rocko, Jazzy Pha and celebrity photographer Derek Blanks.

Ciara’s third album is due out tomorrow, and she’s is making sure to get the word out. The R&B star is scheduled to make a pair of TV appearances today to promote her disc “Fantasy Ride.” First up, Ciara will take the stage on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Later this morning, the singer’s slated to appear on the syndicated show “Live with Regis and Kelly.” Ciara’s “Fantasy Ride” features the singles “Never Ever” featuring Young Jeezy, and “Love Sex Magic” featuring Justin Timberlake. The CD hits stores tomorrow.

        Young Jeezy Concert Cancelled Over Swine Flu Concerns

Young Jeezy may “put on” for his city, but he won’t be “putting on” in Delaware right now. The University of Delaware posted a message on its website noting the rapper’s scheduled concert last night was cancelled in the wake of swine flu concerns. Ten students at the college have been unofficially diagnosed with the virus. School officials say they will attempt to reschedule Jeezy’s show, but no information is available yet. The rapper is slated to play in Rochester, New York on Saturday. The current outbreak of swine flu has also affected some Hollywood projects. The films “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and “Star Trek” cancelled their Mexico City premieres. The Mexican capital has been hard hit by the virus, with over 150 deaths recorded so far.

                   DMX Ordered To Pay $240K To Assault Victim

DMX is going to have to dig deep into his pocketbook following a new court ruling. According to TMZ.com, the rapper has been ordered to pay 240-thousand dollars to a man he assaulted back in June 2004. DMX was arrested after cops claimed he used a fake police siren and posed as an FBI agent to pull over Sergei Priporin and his family at New York’s JFK Airport. The rapper reportedly tried to remove Priporin from the vehicle to commandeer it. DMX later pleaded guilty to reckless driving and drug charges in the matter, and avoided jail time. But the Priporin family filed a civil suit seeking four million dollars for each passenger in the vehicle. DMX’s attorney stated the rapper won’t apologize for pulling the Priporin’s over because they were in DMX’s way at the time. DMX is currently serving a 90-day sentence in Phoenix, Arizona. The rapper pled guilty to counts of animal cruelty, theft, possession of marijuana, and possession of a narcotic back in December. He was reportedly due to be released from jail this Thursday, but that date has apparently been pushed back. The new release date has yet to be revealed.

                                Kelis Files For Divorce From Nas

It looks like one hip-hop couple’s relationship is coming to an end. According to “Vibe” magazine, Kelis has filed for divorce from Nas. A rep for the R&B singer confirmed the news, adding, quote, “We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time.” Kelis cited “irreconcilable differences” as her reason for the split. The singer is currently seven months pregnant with the couple’s first child together, which Nas revealed will be a boy. Nas’ camp has yet to comment on the divorce report. Nas and Kelis first started dating in 2003, and ended up tying the knot two years later.
