It was ok but I kept getting distracted by m.i.a’s belly. She looks 13 months pregnant.

It was pretty good. Looked a little awkward at times though. Like when T.I. was doin’ his verse, Jay didn’t really know what to do. And Wayne’s little ass runnin’ around. Don’t like that dude, but overall, it was a good performance.

sorry tacky ghetto, and didnt mesh well, Mia who usually looks unique look to ghetto, and everything just looked thrown together, sometimes you couldnt hear them at all, lil wayne jumping around, dont know what t.i. was doin. not that good to me. i give Mia hella props for gettin out there performing while damn near about to give birth. thats a real artist for u there. and shes one of the only few hip hop ladies doin there thing now.

It was cool…but since M.I.A. was lip syncing anyways cudnt she stay at home or perform via satellite?

Loved that performance, thought it was one of the best of the night. That was probably the first and last time you’ll see all those artist performing together…you’ll probably see half or just one performing that in the future.

maybe its just me…but it was nasty to watch MIA perform when she was supposed to give birth. lol maybe cause Im a guy, but a pregnant belly and hip-hop just dont match. It reminded me of when I went to NBA all-star weekend in Las Vegas 2 yrs ago and saw pregnant chicks there partying. I am all for women having fun and doing their thing while pregnant…but c’mon at 9 months pregnant, there is NO TYPE OF SWAGGER THERE lol

I’d give the overall performance 7.5. Jay looked awkward as hell. Like a pigeon toed NBA center in a tux. I was nervous for him, seriously. He looked a little uncomfortable uo there. Also, MIA’s ensemble was a distraction.

I give it a 5, only because all of them were there, including M.I.A., other than that it was predictable. I wish they would have thought a lil more outta the box rather than this “Ratpack” bs that has been done over and over again.

In a weird way, I thought it was kinda cute, MIA rocking out with the boyz and her belly. The outfit is hella funny, but thats MIA, thats her look on a regular. So i’m not mad. I give the performance an 8.5 over all, I like how Weezy through the scarf and hat in with his Tux, I expected Kanye to make his alil unique… They all looked good though. I enjoyed.

I thought they killed it. I loved the suites and M.I.A still did her think on her due date. I give it a 9, one of the nights best performances.

Oh props to MIA for holding it down amongst rap royalty. And even bigger props for doing it pregnant. The men looked great and it’s great to see all egos to the side. This will go down as on of hip hops classic moments!
