Flo Rida will appear on American Idol tonight (April 8), where he will perform his record-breaking #1 single, “Right Round.”
The appearance, which follows performances from the likes of Kanye West and Stevie Wonder this season, will promote the rapper’s new album, R.O.O.T.S., in stores now. Early estimates have the album selling about 50,000 copies in its first week on store shelves.
In related news, animal cruelty allegations against the Miami rapper and his entourage, pertaining to a tour stop incident in Kentucky two weeks ago, remain unresolved. The Atantic Records artist has since denied any involvement. - Devin Chanda

I want his stage show to be comprised of strippers draped in rabbit furs. He should rock an Elmer Fudd outfit.

This is pretty sickening that they let him and Kanye perform. No hate involved but let him perform on a show that’s pertaining to Hip Hop and not American Idol which has slowly but surely lost it’s pure sining roots. Now it’s all about how good you look on stage and having a “good song choice” or “making it your own”….

Yeah, but keep in mind. This IS American Idol, & it’s all about the entertainment. There’s a reason it’s not called “hip hop idol” or “underground idol”. That’s the reason a ‘Ye or Flo can get up there & command that type audience. It’s all about the pop phenomena of music/entertainment.
I wouldn’t want to see DOOM or Jada up there. I would still ignore the show.

All I know is this the shit that ruined hip-hop and turned it into hip-pop, these “hits” aren’t even considered hip-hop or rap to me, they sound like half techno half rnb and a full portion of doo-do.

Is it me or is FloRida not the gayest, buffest, pants-always-saggin’-est, disco/pop-song-singin’-est Bamma’EVER in RAP? Who is it that’s letting this dude come out with, not one, but two kcufing albums???!!! Lil Wayne said in 1998 that he wanted to be the greatest rapper alive in 6 yrs. But if he was considered the greatest rapper alive in 6 yrs then that must mean the game totally sucks. 1998 + 6 = 2004..By that time he was calling himself the greatest rapper alive…3 yrs later he was acutually considered the greatest rapper alive. You do the math! Real talk…this was in an Ozone mag…the one with Jermaine Dupri, Ninth Ward, and Nitti on the cover. THE RAP GAME SUCKS! LIL WAYNE SAID SO, 11 YRS AGO.
