• Winner: Kanye West was nominated for the most Grammys—eight in all—but walked away with four. Sweet singing crack head Amy Winehouse killed it with 5 awards and old school music man Herbie Hancock beat both of them out for best album. Kanye did win best: rap album, rap song, rap solo performance, rap performance by duo/group. He also paid tribute to his moms, with the word “MAMA” cut into his hair. Then they tried to cut him short.

• Profile: The New York Times gets around to reviewing Bun B on his 1st performance since the untimely passing of fellow UGK member Pimp C. But if you want the real deal and the whole shebang, head over here. [via]

• Batchelor: Flavor Flav is still looking for love in all the wrong places, but he’s at it again with the 3rd season of his hit series Flavor of Love. Debuts tonight at 9pm EST on VH1.

• Pimpin’: West Coast customs is done pimping rides for MTV’s Pimp My Ride. Wait, you mean no more useless mini-LCDs on the gas cap? Shame.
