Sheila E says it all about the artist of 2015:

http://www.vanyaland.com/2015/05/18/does-anyone-perform-live-anymore-sheila-e-puts-everyone-on-blast-after-the-2015-billboard-awards/

I follow her on Facebook and she's never afraid to voice her real opinions I like that about her

She dares to state what a lot of people think.

She spelled Skool similar to how Prince titled his Ol' Skool Company, and used "2" in her hashtag. I know it's not that uncommon, but it's worth noting.

I didn't see it but apparently he got bleeped for the language he used...

I love Sheila and she was right on point. Kudos for speaking the truth.

Im sure it was something whack

It was.

He was obscured from view because of massice pyrotechnics and smoke.

And huge chunks of audio was blank because he failed to appear at a dress so ABC didn't know what he was gonna do and just said F-it!

Here is what we all missed out on. BTW kanye is pissed at the censors.

[Hook 1: Kanye West] All day, nigga,
How long you niggas ball?
All day, nigga How much time you spent at the mall?
All day, nigga How many thots do you got on call?
All day, nigga H-how long they keep you in court?
All day, nigga Take you to get this fly?
All day, nigga, Tell your P.O. how how long you been high?
All day, nigga Y'all already know I’m straight from the Chi,
All day, nigga South, south, south side!
All day, nigga

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
It's Ye, nigga Shoppin' for the winter, and it’s just May, nigga
Ball so hard, man, this shit cray, nigga
And you ain't gettin' money 'less you got eight figures
From the Jesus piece, man I've been saved, nigga
Just talked to Farrakhan, that's sensei nigga
Told him I've been on ten since 10th grade, nigga
Got a middle finger longer than Dikembe, my nigga,
uh I don't let 'em play with me I don't let 'em talk to me no kind of way
You better watch what you say to me
People still gettin' popped on the day to day
Still got the 100 with the small face, nigga
Might spend 50 racks on my off day, nigga
You a fake Denzel like the Allstate nigga
If you run into me, better have Allstate with you
You a Rico Suave nigga
Drive around listening to Sade nigga
If you ain't with us, you in our way, nigga
You an actor, you should be on Broadway nigga
Cause you do shit the broad way nigga
Your bitch got an ass but my broad way thicker
Late for the class, in the hallway, nigga
Yeah the dropout at it as always nigga

[Bridge: Allan Kingdom]
At [inaudible] in a sweet bread, and I reach into my head
Gave him what I had left At that moment I disperse (All day!)
At that moment I disperse (All day!)

[Hook 2: Kanye West]
All day nigga How long y'all playas ball?
All day nigga How much time y'all spent at the mall?
All day nigga How long it take you to get this fly?
All day nigga Tell your P.O. how how long you been high?
All day nigga Pour some Hen out for my niggas that died
And I keep a bad chick on the passenger side
Y'all already know I’m straight from the Chi, all day, nigga
South, south, south side! All day, nigga

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
I could do this all day, boy, I'm 'bout to turn this bitch out That nigga
Ye in the streets, boy, there's never really been a drought [inaudible] late, boy, you know I still go wild
I'm like a light skinned slave, boy, we in the mothafuckin' house Right now, lookin' real sus right now
I swear I've been on this flight like a month right now
Stupid niggas gettin' paid, Forrest Gump right now Sail out to [inaudible] I need to stunt right now
I've been lookin' at the Gram, I've been lookin' at the Grammys
Like, whoo, that's us right now 24/7, 365 days, everybody gettin' paid
People lookin' at me like I'm worth both MJs
Screamin, "Ye, Ye, take it easy"
20 Gs for the Yeezys on the ebay
People do the most and they ain't done shit
Only way we can sum it up, son, bitch

Glad I missed that..

Tell their behinds!

All I gots to say about The Queen of Percussion is that she brought the house DOWN @ This year's "Black Girl's Rock Awards"....I didn't watch the Billboards but i definitely trust Sheila's take on the performances...

music is dead and the only thing we have left i old legends complaining about it, which offers some relief, but it's not enough

2015 is what happens when you let the industry be ruled by mediocre 18-30 yo AOR folk, fame-oriented dance-pop "artists", sellout rappers, all of them offering lip service to petulant, ignorant teenagers from the "iPhone era" living in their own bubble...

Ah, I think I'm gonna listen to my old '70s records again...

She was so exciting and flawless as always!!! She's coming to a city near me in December and I'm definitely going to get tickets to see her live.

No doubt she's telling the truth, but this is why I don't even bother to watch the Billboard Awards or any other awards show these days for that matter. And this is coming from an early 80's born Millennial.

Nigga only really rhymes with nigga.. what else is he supposed to rhyme it with? figga? digga?

.

Its like a rap version of Family Guy, all tangents with a literal thread connecting. Old, almost outdated tangents like the Allstate guy, two MJs, Rico Suave, Sade, Forrest Gump... even Dikembe has been retired for half a decade.

Me too!

I didn't waste the energy on watching the show but I could tell I didn't miss much when I saw what Sheila posted.

Queen Sheila E is abosolutely right!

I just read an article about Kanye whining about being censored so much during his preformance, but after reading those lyrics, what did he expect? Ugh I wish the word "nigga" would just die already.

Wow, that's a shitty fucking rap. This nigga has been "rhyming" the same words for over a decade.

Hate to be the one to break this to you, but the music biz has always been ruled by "mediocre 18-
30 yo AOR folk, fame-oriented dance-pop "artists."" If you go back to the Billboard charts in the
60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, you'll find cookie-cutter recording artists charting who are mostly slinging
what music industry taste makers want you to dig as opposed to selling seminal or even good
music chiefly. In other words, smart, intelligent, thoughtful pop music is rarely as profitable as
cheez. In other, other words, the populace has always been suckers for bad taste.

Check it out, here, Joe - and click on the succeeding years and you'll see that what was popular in
the 70s is certifiable cheez and cannot be shown to be artistically superior/inferior to any decade
of recorded music.

Music is not dead. Music has never died. What is happening is that you are getting old and your
taste is not in fashion anymore. The R&B I listened to on the radio in the 90s isn't better or
worse artistically than what I hear today or what my parents heard in their day. It's simply a
matter of taste and age! In twenty years, millenials will decry what's popular in 2035 while
reminiscing about "the good ol' days" of Rae Sremmurd and Nicki Minaj.
