This should be another (awards show) night filled with

and maybe a

or a

here and there......

because you know the true talents won't win, several people will wear things that shouldn't, say things that they shouldn't, just act a fool, and Suge Knight will be there (if he's not in jail) to have them all runnin' (LOL)

I will definitely be watching this one too!!! LOL

Well Suge definitely won't be there because he got sentenced to jail, AGAIN. This time I believe his sentence is 10 months.

I'm sorry, but I CANNOT watch the Soul Train or Source Awards. It feels like I'm wathing the "Black, Black People Show" (a la In Living Color).

Rappers Nelly, Lil' Kim Win at Source Awards
Tue Oct 14, 3:11 AM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!

MIAMI (Reuters) - Legendary St. Louis rapper Nelly was named male solo artist of the year on Monday night at Hip-Hop's annual gala, The Source Awards 2003, while the diminutive diva, Lil' Kim, took top solo honors in the female category.

Lil' Jon and the East Side Boyz were named best group of the year in a music genre that grew up in the urban streets of the United States but now regularly heads the U.S. billboards Top Ten and embraces millions of fans around the world.

The Album of the Year award, and Single of the Year award for a male solo artist, were handed down for "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," and "In Da Club," by controversial rapper 50 Cent, a newcomer to mainstream success but a veteran of street shootings and stabbings.

The Source Awards, launched in 1991 by Hip-Hop music magazine The Source, began behind schedule and under tight security in downtown Miami.

Single of the Year -- Group -- Clipse -- "Grindin"' (Producer: Neptunes)

Single of the Year -- Collaboration (Two or more artists on single track) -- Bone Crusher feat, TI and Killer Mike -- "Neva Scared" (Producer: A. Johnson)

R&B/Rap Collaboration of the Year -- "Thug Lovin"' -- Ja Rule feat, Bobby Brown (news) (Producer: C-Santana)

Video of the Year -- "I Don't Give a #%!" -- Lil' Jon and the East Side Boyz feat, Mystikal & Krayzie Bone (Director: Gil Green)

Producer of the Year -- The Neptunes

Dancehall-Reggae Album of the Year -- Sean Paul -- "Dutty Rock" (Label: VP/Atlantic)

International Album of the Year -- Kaos -- "Exit" (Label: Astralworks) Canada
