Eryah Badu’s Jokes

As the Host she delivered many jokes through the night including stating that because of “people saying that I have this common effect on rappers, that, I make em change Gods, wear crochet pants, shoulder pads. So they have banned me from all of the Hip Hop awards” she joked “with that in mind, I’m banning rap from the awards this year.”

Then she got pretend calls from the likes of “3 Stacks” aka Andre 3000 alerted by Sorry Ms Jackson ringtone, then “Thugger” aka Young Thug who she said is her “favorite artist out right now”, but joked she’s “not letting anybody in, with no little’s and young’s in their name” and “plus all your subjects and verbs gotta agree, yeah.” Then she got another call from Iggy Azalea who she said can come “cause what your doing is definitely not rap.”

Tyrese: Sings and later accepts the Centric Certified Award

Tyrese sings his heart out and reminds us how great his voice and authentic musical talent is as he sang “Shame” giving a moving magical and definitely soulful performance. Later on he accepted the Centric Certified Soul Train award and explained how he’s “Been on a mission to re spark and remind people of why they fell in love with true R&B in the first place.” We appreciate it and say so far so great, keep on doing it.
