Video And Memes After The Jump
Cee Lo Green showed up at the 2017 Grammy Awards Sunday, February 12th, looking like a villain from Marvel Comics. The all-gold from head to toe costume he wore was the introduction of his new persona: a character known as Gnarly Davidson.
“Look at me… LOOK AT ME! YOU DID THIS TO ME CEELO GREEN, YOU FUCKING IDIOT. BUT I LIKE IT, I’m actually…BETTER! Than you… than everyone! A karmikaze upon you! Vengeance is mine sayeth GNARLY DAVIDSON. P.S. TECHNOLOJESUS saves," the singer said of the character, in a message sent to XXL on February 2nd.
The 59th Annual Grammy Awards were held in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 12, and Adele cleaned up. She took home five trophies, including Album of the Year for "25" and Record of the Year for "Hello."
During her acceptance speech for Album of the Year, Adele, gracefully dedicated it toBeyonce, whose "Lemonade" album she felt was more deserving.
"I can't possibly accept this award. And I'm very humbled and I'm very grateful and gracious, but my artist of my life is Beyonce," Adele said, as a visibly moved Beyonce stood and watched. "And this album, the Lemonade album is just so monumental, Beyonce ... so monumental. And so well thought out and so beautiful and soul-baring. And we all got to see another side to you that you don't always let us see, and we appreciate that.
"And all us artists here adore you. You are our light. And the way you make me and all my friends feel ... the way you make my black friends feel is empowering and you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you. And I always have and I always will."
Queen Bey did not leave empty handed on the night. "Lemonade" won Best Urban Contemporary Album. She also took home the Best Music Video award for "Formation."

Mr Way Too Much is out to make his presence known not just in the first quarter of music but overall for the year.The Cincy rapper came through on ending last year with a prolific mixtape "The Foster Child" with Dj Bando and Dj Shooter pushing each record to the limit.
Yet that being the beginning of his takeover,Way Too Much brings forth one of his previous visuals which is so relevant now for all my double cup drinkers in "Plz Double Cup Me". Imagine how a house party can turn out to be or when just chilling where everybody is double cupping enjoying life with that certain drink in the cup.

Last month during a concert at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, Georgia, Waka Flocka spotted a fan wearing a Donald Trump jersey and asked to see it.
"Throw that jersey up here, bro," he says in a video from the show. "I fuck with it, it's a Trump jersey, right? Throw that shit up here." When the fan handed it over, Waka pulled down his pants, wiped his butt with it, slammed it to the ground and yelled "Fuck Donald Trump!"
Bob Romanik, a white host for radio station KQQZ 1190 AM, responded to the incident with an on air racist rant.
"Waka Flocka, he took a good crap on our president elect's shirt. Our white president," Romanick began. "You think that Trump has done anything to this man? Trump will probably do more for this black nigger than Obama's ever done for the proud black community ... in my opinion, of course. Think about it. We're talking about Waka Flocka. That greasy black nigger son of a bitch. I'll tell you what you black bastard. Let me wear a Trump shirt and you grab it off me. You'll be the deadest son of bitch walking around."
Surprisingly, Romanick didn't get fired for his comments.
TMZ caught up with Waka to see if he had heard Romanick's diatribe.
"Yeah, I heard that idiot. Disgrace to white America, I heard him. That's what we call white crackers in the hood," the "Hard in the Paint" rapper said. "A white cracker is a disrespectful racist bastard. His show need to get shut the fuck down. If his show don't get shut down that'll let you know how far racism go in America. That anybody can get on the radio and say, 'Fucking black nigger.' That's not how you make America great again, for a Trump supporter.
"Shit, I'ma go up to his show. I'ma find out how much he gonna get on me when I touch back in the states," Waka continued. "I'ma show him what threats is like. That's like a terroristic threat right? Telling somebody you gon' kill 'em? I'ma show you how we handle shit. I'm not gonna call the cops. I'ma go to his show and see if I can get a personal interview. Let me see if he talk that rah rah shit when I pull up."
