[BaZZ]

[Homie_4_life]

i excitedi only get 2 tv channels and ABC is one of them!!! !! I can actually watch it. Those are some messed up nominees, the only good song BEP even put out this year was Pump It
I hope Em wins but he probally wont, they will let TI win

[j_shady]

RHCP are gonna win for sure thats a give-in..as for Em fans, he wont win even if you wished your asses off..a greatest hit album doesnt count as an album, sorry to burst your bubbles kiddies..they basically put his name in the running bcuz they needed a spot to fill

[shady24/7]

i hope he wins it seems that whenever eminem and kanya are nominated for the same award kanya always wins i hate that
