DIRTY AWARDS RECAP!
Posted on November 24, 2008 by Lola
I’m gonna do a Dirty Awards photo recap a little later, when I can go home and upload my photos, but for now I’ll give you the scoop breakdown. Right now I’m at a friend’s house and I can’t write the whole experience because it will take forever. Let’s just say that it was a long and eventful evening. I started off my night with my media pass…thinking it was going to get me in the show and everything…NOPE! Super wrong. The media pass got me on the red carpet and in the media room. What kind of bs is that?!?!? Who walked on the red/black carpet? Rick Ross, Keri Hilson, Big Kuntry, Alfamega, Mr. collipark, Soulja Boy, VIC, Gorilla zoe, Dj Drama, and a bunch of other people. Other artists like Young Jc, Trey Songz, Bobby Valentino, David Banner, T.I., Shawty Lo, Ludacris, Monica and plenty of others didn’t bother coming through the red carpet.
So we were all escorted to the media room. As we were enjoying Young Joc’s sarcasm, Shawty Lo takes the stage ( we can see him from the TV screens in the room) and he full out calls out Yung LA from the GrandHustle camp, backed up by all his goons on stage. (I think when he called his name, he fully did the pistol clap sound too, but I wasn’t paying too much attention…not until the camera showed Shawty Lo’s face and he was dead serious.)
As we’re watching this, Young Joc’s face dropped!
WTF?!
Did Shawty Lo just start another beef ON stage?
All of a sudden (as I was told by other parties) the Grandhustle camp stood up and chairs were thrown at the stage. I noticed on the TV screen that one of Shawty Lo’s people muttered the words “Fuck you” as he was walking off the stage. Shawty Lo threw the mic on the floor and that’s when I was like “OMG IT’S ON!!!”
So myself and two other journalists were trying to cross the curtain to get to the backstage VIP area to find out what was going on. The TV screens went blank, meaning the show was disrupted. The security guard wouldn’t let us get to backstage, and at this point I was kicking myself in the ass for even bothering with the media passes. I should have just gotten regular artist passes from one of my friends….and as I’m arguing with the security guard to let us through..
and there came my rescue….the wonderful, delicious, sexy, Dj Trauma!!!! Being that he cares so much for my well being, and that I absolutely HAD to have a backstage wristband, he hooked it up and there I was. I saw someone I knew from Grandhustle and followed them backstage. As I got up on stage, I noticed that T.I. had gotten up and was talking. It was all a big chaos and I never even got to hear what Tip was saying…he didn’t sound too happy though.
Anyways, I saw someone else from the GH camp and I followed them out into the crowd, by the tables. Ludacris was performing next with Playaz Circle. (At this point I beleive the staff @ Radio One was trying to get TI and Shawty Lo to call truce and calm things down…(so I was told) Soon after I decided to get backstage again and see what was poppin. I went in to the media room to update my girls with what the news was, and then walked over to the backstage VIP area. As I was talking to a friend of mine, I notice the entire GrandHustle (including T.I. ) is on stage performing with Yung LA. It was kinda rubbing it in Shawty Lo’s face. I had to run to the front to at least snap a photo of it. When I got to the front, they had peppered sprayed the audience, and people trying to get in the front were all caughing. A lot of ppl from the crowd were standing up on the tables singing along with Tip and everyone else. Perfect. I caught them on their last verse. I thought I was good, but of course, my battery died. How BS IS THAT??!!? I was SOOOO angry.
Anyways, I figured the show was a wrap after that. No one wanted to stay and wait until something popped off, so everyone took off. On our way out we saw xxx xxxxxx being arrested, which I thought was so whack, because if they wanted to do it, they could have at least done it in the back, and not in front of everyone.
So that was pretty much the run down of how everything happened.
Dirty awards huh!?
