Kanye West: *ascending to main stage* No, Ron. I don’t think I’ll sit down. *removes jacket* *starts unfastening belt* How y’all gonna have the Ether of the Year and my shit ain’t even nominated? *kicks shoes into crowd*

RM: I guess the people didn’t think any of your days deserved to be up there with the Diddy Christmas, the DMX/Scott Storch, the Rick Ross… you know?

KW: Well, until you AND your people give me what I deserve, I’m gonna stand up here butt-ass naked. *drops trousers*

RM: What the FUCK?! SECURITY!!! Please escort Mr. West--

KW: *starts masturbating* Nuh-uh! Tell them niggas to fall back. I’ll bust a Louis Vuitton logo right on somebody forehead. I ain’t playin! I know you don’t pay your cousins enough for that shit!

*Security Cousins nod in agreement*

RM: *thinking quickly* Oh, look! Your Conan appearance blog was nominated for Ether of the Year! Silly me. How could I not have seen this?

KW: *stops jerking* Really?! Damn. I knew you was alright, cuz--

RM: HEYELL NO! Ricky! GET HIS NEKKID ASS OFF MY STAGE! *waits for Security Cousins to drag Kanye's naked ass off stage* Wow. That nigga really had a banana peel instead of a pocket square.

Ron Mexico: Ah, yes. It still gets no colder than “The D.” *smiles* To present the highly-coveted Negro of the Year Award for 2008’s Best Overall Negrous Performance, please welcome Ya Woy Ply!

Plies: Thank you, Mr. Mexico. I’d also like to take the time to thank my esteemed colleagues, panel, viewers and all others representing the fine academy that is the Negro Please caucus. Before proceeding, I’d like to offer a selection from the great black scholar W.E.B. DuBois, who has been a great inspiration for my work. He once said, “The cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.” If you aren’t aware what he means by that, I suggest you examine the lyrics of my hallowed opus, “Bust It Baby Pt. 2.”

RM: *tilts head and gives confused look*

Plies: Our 2008 Negro of the Year is none other than… *opens envelope* Consummate urban mogul and purveyor of fine vodka, Sean “Diddy” Combs!

Diddy: *approaches podium* Awww, man. God. Praises be to You, Lord! This is better than a Golden Globe! I mean, I know what some of y’all thinking. Some of y’all think Soulja Boy should have got this, or R. Kelly, or maybe even Kanye. But I’mma tell you what’s good. Nobody worked harder for this than me this year. I had my Diddy Blogs, umm my James Bond cologne commercials, I-I poured orange juice on my Froot Loops for you! So, it really feels great to put my hands on an award of any kind again. It’s been a while, so thank you!

RM: Always great to see people work as hard as possible to attain their goals. *winks at Cassie in front row* And now a commercial message from yet another obstacle of black progress, no doubt. *covering microphone (to Plies)* I didn’t know you fucked with that DuBois, my nigga.

Plies: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Don’t thank cu’nigga goonin’ he cain’t eee’n be done looked inna couple book’n whateva. I done—

RM: McDonald’s place mat?

Plies: *looking at shoes* Yeah. But that don’t mean I don’t mean it, doe!

Ron Mexico: We'll be back with more of the 2008 NP Awards after this...
