CNN —Jay-Z used his speech at the Grammy Awards to get some things off his chest. “And then they went to a hotel and watched the Grammys,” Jay-Z said. “I’m just saying, we love y’all, we love ya’ll, we love y’all and we want y’all to get it right,” Jay-Z said. “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone, and never won album of the year,” he said of Beyoncé. Think about that, most Grammys, never won album of the year, that doesn’t work.”Bey became the most awarded artist in Grammys history, with a record 32 wins, at last year’s ceremony.

(CNN) — Upon reflection, the odd couple sensibilities that captivated viewers of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” were in place even before the cameras started rolling. Smith's "Fresh Prince" fashions captured, and curated, the visual aesthetic of hip-hop culture. Uncle Phil, conversely, stuck closely to upper middle-class regalia, with suits, sweater vests, and golf polos. “You wore a dashiki and an afro.”Uncle Phil and Smith face off in a scene from the "Fresh Prince" episode "How I Spent My Summer Vacation." As DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Jeff Townes and Will Smith perform with backing dancers at the 1993 American Music Awards.
