2008 BET Awards recap

i thought it was an overall decent award show. Wierd ass day to broadcast it but still decent. I liked al greens performance,alicia keys and tLC's (i;m to young to know who SWV and Envouge are). Wayne killed a milli but i wanted him to die when he did got money or get money or whatever. usher didn't get it started in my opinion though,he was so weak i turned the channel. Yeezy killed put on an ne-yo killed closer. Ciara looked out of place and WHERE THE **** did maxwell come from?. still good show

7.4/10

Hated it,T Pain is falling off. That song and the track he did with Flo Rida were GARBAGE.

Jeez you totally forgot the preshow drama with 2 Pistols and some other dude.... haha best part of the show...

But wow, Big Boi and Raekwon performing at a show with VIC, Soulja Boy, Shawty Lo, and Yung Joc....

"Kiss Kiss" owns so much IMO. Seriously, one of my favorite joints from last year.

Man that crowd got hyped for that Young Jeezy and Kanye performance, "Put On". Ye sounded horrible with that Auto Tune live.kobegill

at least he moved around and had energy,all jeezy did was walk around. and colt what talent does t-pain really have. He is a dude who is a decent singer using auto tune or whatever. I don't understnad his talent.

Are there clips of the performances online?Wizejoker

There all on BET.com, I think they are gradually showing up on YouTube.

I totally agree with you on that one. Kiss Kiss had probably the only T-Pain verse I love and was a great pop song at the same time. Good Life had a great video, but not much appeal aside from a easy going summer jam.

I like the "Dey Know" remix by Shawty Lo, but I don't think Shawty Lo is a great rapper :P

that song t-pain has with lil' mama is kinda decent...and kiss kiss owns...fat_rob

Chris Brown RAPES taht song. Seriously.
