    Nice! he’s better than all those artists but M.I.A. will probably win for that stupid fucking paper planes that came out about 3 years ago.

    Congrats moon man

    Congrats! While its always and honor to be recognized, I think Cudi’s at a disadvantage as he will be the only nominee without an album out. What are they judging exactly? The “A Kid named Cudi” mixtape? Well, whatever the case, good luck to Cudders!

    BET clearly doesnt deserve to be known as a music oriented television network, since they cant event realize that that her first album came out 3 years ago and the song that “made her famous”, paper planes, was on her second album that came out 2 years ago. This is stupid on their part.

    Congrats to Cudi!

    Cudi should get it just for being the realist and most humble of them all, but if he doesn’t we’ll all love him even more. Cudi FTW!!!
