Atlantans At The VMAs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In the Big Britney Comeback(?) — also known as MTV’s Video Music Awards last night — there were a number of local happenings of note, and of course, we want your take.
Did you think it was funny when, early on, Jamie Foxx pointed out Atlanta rapper-actor T.I. and said “Don’t shoot me”; and made another reference to “bail money”?
(If you don’t know, T.I. pled guilty to three firearms charges in March of this year, and is facing 366 days in prison in March 2009. See his first interview since that plea, with the AJC, HERE).
What about T.I.’s performance later of his No. 1 hit in the country, “Whatever You Like” - particularly, the way it was produced? And the new song he debuted with Rihanna (with T.I. in top photo)?
The only other Atlanta resident to perform was T-Pain (above, as part of Lil Wayne’s segment). Like it?
Happen to catch Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy’s arrival in a presidential-like motorcade? Or local talents Jermaine Dupri (above), Ludacris, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Keri Hilson, Cee-Lo and T.I. with fiancee — notice the rock! - Tameka “Tiny” Cottle (second photo above) on the red carpet? (See the rest our VMA red carpet gallery HERE ).
And if we can stretch out a bit to Atlanta natives, how would you rate Kanye West’s new song, which closed the show? (See the YouTube video BELOW) (Oh - and see the rest our VMA photo gallery HERE ).
