COMMON & T-PAIN GIVE EACH OTHER DAP ON THE RED CARPET AT THE 2008 BET HIP-HOP AWARDS

ATLANTA // SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18TH 2008 »
AIRDATE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23RD 2008 ON BET @ 8 PM EST. The 2008 BET HIp-Hop Awards went down in Atlanta over the weekend, and here you can check out the photos from the red carpet. If you haven’t heard yet, Katt Williams was nixed from his hosting duties, and T-Pain filled in for the comedian at the last minute. BET made up some bogus story talking about how Katt bet T-Pain he couldn’t beat him in a break dance battle, and how Katt’s hosting duties were up for grabs to whoever won. It later came to light that Williams had been arrested on the morning of the show. Sound familiar, anyone? *Cough* T.I. *cough* got arrested *cough* last year *cough* and he was *cough* supposed to perform. I’m just saying…

Anyway, follow the break to check out photos of Ciara, T.I., Flo Rida, Rick Ross, and more all on the red carpet at the ‘08 BET HIp-Hop awards.

Here is the video premiere of Maino’s remix video of his latest single, “Hi Hater”, featuring T.I., Plies, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss and Fabolous. The incredibly sexy Mya is also cameo’d in this video looking so good! Check this video out!

So it looks like Rick Ross isn’t the only Miami Rapper to be caught lying about his past. Hip Hop DX claims that although Plies proclaims himself a “goon affiliated, ex-drug dealer” and raps about a criminal past, his records show that he had never been in trouble with the law until after his records were made.

HipHopDX has obtained documentation from the state of Florida that lists the “definition of real” rapper’s first real run-in with the law to have not taken place until two years ago, on April 12, 2006, when Plies - real name Algernod Lanier Washington, born May 22, 1976 - would have been on the eve of his 30th birthday and just beginning his ascension to his current status of gold-certified rap star.

The 32-year-old was arrested for the first time at the age of 29 on April 12, 2006 for the misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer without violence.

Above is the T2W premiere of Plies’ latest music video - “Somebody Loves You.” The Florida-based rapper recently announced a non-profit organization appropriately titled “Sombebody Loves You.” The organization’s first project is a $10,000 scholarship program that will be presented to two students (one male, one female), who will receive $5,000 a piece. The students must attend, or plan to attend, an accredited college or university, in addition to having a parent, or parents, who is presently incarcerated in prison, and the students must have financial need. Click here for more information that.

Apparently I missed this video that was released a couple of weeks ago. It’s Plies‘ latest music video featuring Trey Songz, and it’s titled I’m Da Man. If you haven’t taken a listen to Plies’ latest album, “The Definition of Real,” make sure you pick it up today, because it’s in stores now!

MTV did a special on all of the new music of this month for a weekend. Many artists showed up to talk about their new and upcoming albums. Chris Brown, The Game, Plies, Ne-Yo, Solange, Lil’ Wayne and Ashanti appeared on TRL during this week. Ashanti performed her latest single, “The Way That I Love You”. Plies also performed his single, “Bust It Baby (Pt. 2)” featuring Ne-Yo. Check out Ashanti’s performance above. Plies’s performance after the cut.

Plies is recording with a lot of top R&B artists and I like that idea. It actually appeals people to his music more. Plies has been deep in this R&B game for awhile too. You think he’ll pull a T-Pain and become a “rapper turnt sanga”. I don’t think so…but I definitely like this new track, “#1 Fan” featuring Keyshia Cole & J. Holiday. This track will be on Plies upcoming album, Definiton Of Real (Atlantic/Slip-N-Slide). In Stores June 10th!

There another remix to Plies‘ single, “Bust It Baby” and this time it features the one and only Janet Jackson. She definitely adds her own flavor to the track and I loved the song before, but now I love it even more! Be sure to not to forget Plies second album, Definition Of Real (Atlantic/Slip-N-Slide), in stores June 10th.
