Rap-Up.com || Rap-Up Pre-BET Awards Lounge 2010

Rap-Up hosted an invitation-only lounge and gifting suite during BET Awards weekend at The London West Hollywood on Saturday (June 26). Guests included the newly-engaged Amerie (pictured above with her sister Angela), JoJo, Melody Thornton, Binkie and Naomi of Electrik Red, Twista, Lil Twist, Mishon, “Love the Way You Lie” producer Alex Da Kid, and more.

VIPs sipped on vitaminwater, smartwater, and Veuve Clicquot champagne and nibbled on red velvet and chocolate marshmallow cupcakes from Sprinkles (Amerie’s favorite) on the outdoor terrace overlooking Los Angeles.

Those lucky enough to be in attendance went home with a Sony bloggie camera, VTech IS9181 Wi-Fi Internet Radio, Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 iPod speakers, Griffin iPod, iPhone, and iPad accessories, SUPER sunglasses, and adidas bowling bags.

I love Amerie, what a classy woman & artist. I wonder if rumors are true about her going to Kanye West’s label G.O.O.D. Music & signing to Violator Management! I hope so because Def Jam did her so wrong & Im just baffled that they let her fall through the cracks like that. I hope Kanye gives her the A list treatment because she could be on Beyonce & Alicia Keys status right now! She only needs the right team. I already know she has the right producers with her now!

Great job Rap Up on this. I missed the Social Media Lounge because of flight issues but I’m in L.A. and ready to kick some EDITORIAL butt today at the BET Awards. I hope we meet. I’d like to congratulate you in person. – DC Livers, host, BlackPressRadio.com blog.blackpodcasts.net

MishoN!
Lil Twist is getting old with that freaking mohawk and he hasn’t even had any music come out yet.
& Tell me why i thought Amerie was Kourtney Kardashian!?
And i’m sick of Alex da Kid he needs to go somewhere and sit down. Must be excited since Em & Rihanna’s song wasn’t a flop like Massive Attack.

@lame: well, jojo has a platinum plaque and a gold plaque (plus two top tens), amerie has about the same, alex da kid has two of the top five songs on iTunes right now, melody thornton was in the most successful new girl group we’ve had in a hot minute, etc.

so rap-up’s event wasn’t a “flop” event. ass.

I’m not at all saying that none of these people are big, because most ALL of them have great things going on,
but the BIG BIG people are seemingly busy, which should be understood already.
