MTV Nominees.

The MTV Video Music Award nominees came out today.  I am not that excited.  I remember a time when I would get all amped up about the MTV Awards because it was so different from all the other awards.  Now I don't even think MTV has the right to give out awards for videos because they just don't play music videos anymore.  In fact, MTV should give out awards for the best fights (Teen Mom), the best statutory rapes (16 and Pregnant), and the best crotches getting hit (Ridiculousness).  I say You Tube start making an awards ceremony because in all fairness, they're the only ones showing videos nowadays.

But anyways, here are the nominees.

Nicki Minaj f/ 2 Chainz - Beez in the Trap
The Throne - Paris

So there you go.  The top songs played on the radio are also nominated for the best videos.  It's all corporations now.  It's the only way they're going to grab on to your money for another 5-10 years before they become completely obsolete.  So in the meantime, keep listening to the radio, watch your non-video tv and pay for the music that is just not as good as it once was.  The playing field will be leveled and all of these artists will actually have to work a little harder to take the money out of our pockets.  And I do exclude Kanye West because there is really very little he can do to make me boycott him (PS: he's doing it right now).


Here are the videos for video of the year.  Now you tell me if there are better videos or not.

Rihanna- We found Love (Yes, let's glorify an abusive relationship because it is just as great as how you're making it out to be Rihanna).


Gotye- Somebody That I Used To Know (One of the best videos and songs of the year.  Thank Buddha I don't know him anymore)


Katy Perry - Wide Awake ( I don't like Katy Perry and her intro is horrible.)


M.I.A. - Bad Girls (Always interesting, always different.  But she's a little chunky, so I can't take her too seriously).


Drake ft/Rihanna - Take Care (Like the song, hate the video and don't really like the artists performing it).


Now looking at all of these videos, there's a lot of color, a lot of heartbreak, and a lot of bad stuff. This is what MTV glorifies. This is the contribution they give to the world. Thank you MTV.
