its shit but i do care as its the only major black music awards ceremony out there in the uk (even though it sucks). what is sway doing in the best hip hop category - all he has out are two mixtapes and a few singles!

okok, Friday, 9 September 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

It's those "best album" noms that get me... did they just roll dice to chose them?

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

Plus Sway: man runs his publicity better than Abi Titmuss, that's why he's nommed. I'm voting for him, anyway...

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

what does MOBO mean?

Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

Mans Open Big Ovaries

okok, Friday, 9 September 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

"Music of Black Origin"

Or "Darkies and Jamiroquai".

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Music Made By Black Artists But We Dont Want To Say That

hey dont dis jamiroquai! they used to be great!

okok, Friday, 9 September 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

MOBO be hatin' Kanye :(

I Ain't No Addict, Whoever Heard of a Junkie as Old as Me? (noodle vague), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

Kanye probably missed the time frame. So that's why they nominated John Legend so much.

Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 9 September 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I wondered about the time frame.

MOBO needs to decide whether it's going to be an awards for UK acts or not. That "Best Hip Hop Act" list looks stupid either way.

I Ain't No Addict, Whoever Heard of a Junkie as Old as Me? (noodle vague), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

Oh! Oh! Amadou & Mariam AND Miguel "Anga" Diaz are up for Best World - all is forgiven!

mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Friday, 9 September 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)
