The Throne. What more can I say!

Sometimes when she sings, I really questions who can match her vocally on this planet.

Even though he didn't really sing, this performance was ridiculous (in a good way).
And the "Protect Ya Neck" tribute was ill.

Bey rubbing her belly and Kanye celebrating with Jay = Priceless
Shouts out Bey too, she is one of the greatest performers in the game right now.

Shout out to Tyler, the Creator for winning best new artist for "Yonkers."

Lupe gave the cosign which provoked me to listen. Sonically, I liked his selection. I also appreciated his perspective and honesty. Look, I'm not saying he is a lyrical heavyweight, but he has potential with the tools he does have. If he works hard at his craft especially his lyrical skill (Wayne wasn't always Wayne), he can definitely shake things up in this Hip-Hop game for years to come. I believe he already has with this one. Swag.
