This was one of the (few) highlights from VMA’s.  Jay and Ms. Keys…this is officially my song now.  Like it.

Ok…peep Lil Mama coming on stage @6:10, peep Jay saying “Where’s T-Pain” @6:12, why is he swiping at her to go away at @6:15 and these picture had me *dead* on my floor laughing [see & see].  #lilmamais was the number one trending topic on twitter for a while.

Props to Nah Right for the video.

    What the hell was she thinking. At least Kanye had a reason for his onstage antics. He was twisted and felt like sticking it to his archenemy (award shows). I don’t know what Lil Mama was hoping was going to happen when she jumped up on stage. Jay probably didn’t even recognise her. I certainly didn’t, literally all I know about this girl is I can remember the line, shorty get loose, shorty get loose. And Chris Brown sings that bit.

    PS didn’t check this particular video so if this one isn’t working, here’s where I saw it.

    LOL

    What on earth was Lil’ Mama doing on stage. Jay and Alicia wanted no part of her.

    The “Where’s T Pain At” Thing had me confused…. oh man that was awkward

    in other news though, this song gives me chills, and really does make me wanna go to New York… Polar opposites eh, Ny State of Mind and Empire State of Mind

    lmao wtf, where did lil mama come from and why????

  • eA

    that fool ruined the moment for me. like, she has NO business. ease up, you should’ve stayed in the PIT with your obnoxious self.

    an a-game performance, though… ugh, I’d handsdown do Alicia over Hova, haha.

    I bet MTV loved the Kanye stunt cuz it grabbed every single headline imaginable, even my mom hates Kanye now and the only rapper she knew was Eminem lol. But I bet MTV didn’t like this shit Lil Mama pulled, I bet half the TV audience was like “why’s the judge from America’s Best Dance Crew on stage? Does she know Jay-Z?” LMAO. Is it me or the VMA’s get worse and worse every year? Not like it’s been anything special to begin with.
