"Schmeat Davidson"

"Bro. Bro! Listen to the kids. First of all, thank you, Taylor, for being so gracious and giving me this award this evening.

And I often think back to the first day I met you also. You know I think about when I'm in the grocery store with my daughter and I have a really great conversation about fresh juice... and at the end they say, 'Oh, you're not that bad after all!' And like I think about it sometimes. ... It crosses my mind a little bit like when I go to a baseball game and 60,000 people boo me. Crosses my mind a little bit.

And I think if I had to do it all over again what would I have done? Would I have worn a leather shirt? Would I have drank half a bottle of Hennessy and gave the rest of it to the audience? Ya'll know ya'll drank that bottle too! If I had a daughter at that time would I have went on stage and grabbed the mic from someone else's? You know, this arena tomorrow it's gonna be a completely different setup. Some concert, something like that. The stage will be gone. After that night, the stage was gone, but the effect that it had on people remained.

The ... The problem was the contradiction. The contradiction is I do fight for artists, but in that fight I somehow was disrespectful to artists. I didn't know how to say the right thing, the perfect thing. I just ... I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee-Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley and the FutureLove ... SexyBack album ... and Justin, I ain't trying to put you on blast, but I saw that man in tears, bro. You know, and I was thinking, like, 'He deserved to win Album of the Year!'"

And this small box that we are as the entertainers of the evening ... How could you explain that? Sometimes I feel like all this s--t they run about beef and all that? Sometimes I feel like I died for the artist's opinion. For artists to be able to have an opinion after they were successful. I'm not no politician, bro!
