Heeeyyyy Twan! I see you boo

Dallas was rasing the roof… woop woop!

No comment on the lack of women of color in the building! Just kidding JD! Of course there were tons of parties to choose from last night. Check out a few flix from more Grammy celebrations below:

Grammy Awards 2009 ~ My Favorite Performance = “Swagger Like Us”

ATLien — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:36:29 +0000

T.I., Jay-Z, Kanye West & Lil Wayne, the self-proclaimed ‘Black Brat Pack’ performed Swagger Like Us during the 2009 Grammy Awards show last night. It was hands down MY favorite performance of the evening. The tuxedos, the black and white videography, the expectation that M.I.A. was gonna drop that load she’s carrying at any second…all combined to make this performance ROCK! Great job fellas…and M.I.A.

Usher Raymond promptly canceled his performance at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party due to a family emergency. The emergency? Well apparently Tameka was in Brazil to get a few nip/tuck procedures and experienced severe complications during her plastic surgery. A neurosurgeon, Dr. Gabriel Hunt of LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, has also traveled to South America to tend to Tameka. Josh Groban filled in for Raymond during Davis’ event and Usher’s camp has issued no comments. Foster, a 37-year-old stylist, recently gave birth to the couple’s second child, Naviyd Ely Raymond. The couple’s first child, Usher Raymond V, was born in November 2007.

Grammy 2009 had no shortage of drama in that Chris Brown and Rihanna were no-shows due to a rumored domestic altercation.
