Viewers Continue To Complain About Beyonce’s GRAMMY Performance

Beyonce and JAY Z’s performance of ‘Drunk In Love’ (which hilarious viewers deemed overtly sexual and pornographic) wasn’t the only problem; according to the above letters sent to the FCC regarding the GRAMMYS, Katy Perry was summoning Satan and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were in the wrong for shoving the gay agenda down their throats. These are only about half of the complaints received….nonetheless, I doubt FCC is going to do anything (and that’s fine with me).

You can check out a recap of the above performances (and more) here.

The LOX Speak On Macklemore, GRAMMYs

On the latest RapFix Live, The L-O-X were asked about a very retarded debate regarding Macklemore and Kendrick Lamar for this year’s GRAMMYs (out of the 7 nominations each artist has, they are competing for two: ‘Best New Artist’ and ‘Best Rap Album’. Some folks are not feeling Macklemore’s inclusion into the latter). According to the Yonkers trio, the money’s on Mack (now that I disagree with).
