Kenny Chesney at ACMAs
Posted in Academy of Country Music Awards, Kenny Chesney, Las Vegas on the May 21, 2008
Kenny Chesney was the big winner at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards which was held at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on Sunday. Oddly enough, Kenny thought of the win as a big sham as the fans were involved in the voting. In a rant that I bet he’s going to regret for a long time, Kenny said that the Academy had turned the ‘Entertainer of the Year’ category “into a sweepstakes to see who can push people’s buttons the hardest on the Internet. … It really diminishes the integrity of the music.†Ironically, if you go to his MySpace page, there’s a banner telling fans to vote for him which also links to the ACM website. For the record, he thanked the fans for voting for him anyway.
Nas’ Album
Posted in Album Release, Nas, Rap Music, Rapper on the May 21, 2008
I’m not sure if anyone cares at this point but Nas is still insisting that the real title of his disc is still the N word even though his label says that they’re not calling it that anymore. According to EW.com, Def Jam says that the rapper’s latest record will now be called ‘Nas’. Contrary to reports though, Def Jam exec LA Reid said that Nas could call it whatever he wanted. Maybe that’s why he’s still insisting on the original title. In my opinion, they should just consider scrapping the album altogether, especially after all of this nonsense. Releasing it now will just be anti-climactic.
