Chapter 207 Enemies on All Sides

When he arrived at the music hall, Madonna's tribute to MJ had ended. The host Russell Brand came on stage and told some political jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

"Hi! Link, congratulations on your successful performance."

Back in the audience, Eminem greeted him.

"Thank you!"

Link smiled and sat down next to Eminem.

Before coming to the awards ceremony, he thought he would sit with Taylor. After all, the two were a couple. Sitting together and being photographed by the camera would be more topical.

However, the organizers knew how to create topics better than him.

MTV arranged his seat in the middle of the East Coast rap gang.

In front of him were Jay-Z and Beyoncé, on the right were T.I., Rihanna, and Kanye, and behind were 50 Cent and Drake. At a glance, except for Eminem, who was a neutral party, they were all enemies.

However, the organizers had a certain basis for this arrangement.

Five singers were nominated for the MTV Best Male Singer Video Award this year.

They were Jay-Z's "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)", Eminem's "We Made You", Kanye West's "Love Lockdown", T.I.'s collaboration with Rihanna's "Live Your Life", and Link's "Unstoppable".

Letting them sit together was also convenient for the camera to capture.

But after he sat down, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, T.I., and Drake all stretched their necks and stared at him, with obvious hostility and anger on their faces.

Originally, their East Coast rap gang was very popular in the rap world and even in the music world.

Even MJ, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Justin Timberlake and other superstars took the initiative to seek cooperation.

Even the new queen Beyonce married Jay-Z, of course, because their rap music was too popular.

Singers of other types all want to take advantage of their popularity to attract young fans and expand the music market.

After working with them, MJ, Madonna, Justin and others have also achieved good results in the field of hip-hop rap music.

They are very proud of this.

However, everything became different after meeting the bastard Link.

At the Grammy Awards, Lil just accused him a few words and asked him to apologize to Kanye, which was a very reasonable request.

But this bastard took advantage of the media hype to make a small matter big, and almost got out of control. Even Washington was alarmed, forcing them to apologize and lose face.

Later, the guy came to ask for peace again, saying that he wanted to do rap music.

In fact, this was Link's trick.

He deliberately pretended to be a newbie who didn't understand rap music and said he wanted to come and try the water. As a result, he rushed to the top three of the rap charts as soon as he released a single.

A typical case of pretending to be a little white rabbit to eat the big bad wolf.

After being attacked by him, of course, everyone would not let him be arrogant. Kanye, T.I., and Jay-Z successively released songs to try to suppress him and regain face for the East Coast rap gang.

It was relatively smooth at the beginning. Kanye and Jay-Z's singles successively defeated Link's "I'm the one" and "Lighters", occupying the first place on the rap singles chart. On the Billboard singles chart, "Empire State of Mind" also firmly suppressed Link's "Believer".

Although Jay-Z's album sales are worse than Link's, in the field of rap music, the songs of East Coast rappers still dominate the charts, and everyone's face has not been lost.

It's just that after the song "See you again" appeared, everything became different.

That crappy song was like a piece of dog shit, sticking to the first place on the rap singles chart for four consecutive weeks, motionless.

And under the dog shit was their song.

It felt so disgusting, even more disgusting than being cuckolded.

They also tried to release a single to try to regain the top spot on the charts.

But the song was so popular that it was played in the streets and alleys, and even their family members sang it at home.

They couldn't win at all.

Link, a rookie's rap work, made them, a group of veterans, helpless. This was not only a professional competition, but also a spiritual insult.

Now they saw Link sitting in front of them. If they didn't have a gun, they would have shot the bastard.

"Hi, good evening!"

Link sat steadily in his seat with his legs crossed, raised his finger to greet the black faces around him, with a calm smile on his lips.

Lil Wayne and his friends were even more angry when they saw that he dared to laugh. This obviously didn't take them seriously. If it was in the 1980s and 1990s, they could have shot Link into a sieve with a gun.

Link is still alive, thanks to the times.

"The camera is coming, you guys should pay attention to your image."

Eminem shouted.

Lil Wayne and the others glanced at the cameras in front of them, and could only restrain their expressions and sit back down.

Link still had a calm expression, looking forward, and when he saw Taylor looking at him, he waved.

Taylor was in the second row in the middle, close to the aisle, and he was in the third row on the left, with five or six seats between them.

"Link, I'm sorry about entering the venue earlier. We drove too fast."

After the camera passed, Beyonce in the front row said with her face slightly tilted.

Beyoncé was talking about the stretch Lincoln with the plug in it.

Beyonce was also in the car. At that time, Beyonce came over to apologize and asked them to leave first. Link and Taylor refused. They were not in a hurry to walk on the red carpet and there was no need to compete with these people. The main reason was that there was no reward for winning. .

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small thing."

Link said and leaned back politely. In front of her was Beyoncé, who was wearing a bright red deep-V breastless evening dress. Her bust was relatively straight, and when she turned sideways, many things were clear at a glance.

He didn't want to be caught by the camera with any dirty material, so he took the initiative to put his eyes in the right position.

Beyoncé noticed his movements, raised the corners of her lips, and turned to look at the front desk.

After the performance of the previous show, Latin Queen Shakira and three actors from the "Twilight Saga" cast appeared.

There were Taylor Lautner, who played the werewolf, and supporting actresses Ashley Greene and Leighton Meester, who were invited to present the awards.

"Twilight" is so popular this year, as popular as Lady Gaga.

Only the first part of the series was broadcast, and the second part has not yet been released, which made several male and female protagonists and supporting actors gain great fame.

There were only a few supporting actors here today, but when the audience saw them, they shouted louder than when they saw the idol singer.

Seeing Taylor Lautner and the others, Link thought of the 'idle' Christine again.

She is the heroine of "Twilight", and her current popularity is much higher than these people. If she is willing to come out and make announcements, she will probably be so busy that smoke is burning from her feet.

Shakira and Taylor Lautner presented the first award, which is also the more valuable award for Best Female Vocal Video.

Five people were nominated.

Beyoncé's "Single Ladies," Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold," Lady Gaga's "Poker Face," P!nk's "So What," and Taylor's "You Belong With Me."

They are all very capable, and no one is weak.
