All this Race talk about the Grammys

[W.I.Z.E.]

Let this black guy win Country Music album of the year for 4 of his next 5 albums and then let a new black guy making pop country music come and beat a traditional country music artist for AOTY.

Then we can talk.

Until then




White artists have won 35% of all Rap AOTY awards.

2013 - Cacklemore - White
2012 - - Mixed at best but sure as hell not white
2011 - - Black
2010 - Eminem - White
2009 - Eminem - White
2008 - Lil Wayne - Black
2007 - - Black
2006 - Luda - Black
2005 - - Black
2004 - - Black
2003 - Outkast - Black
2002 - Eminem - White
2001 - Eminem - White
2000 - - Black
1999 -
1998 - Fugees - Black
1997 - Naughty by Nature - Black


First off...You do the math...does that equal 35%/

Second, it's TWO ARTISTS kid...and one of them has won four times (Eminem). This guy is considered by MANY to be one of the best technical if not pure bread emcees in the game.

Like it or not, every damn year someone wins a grammy that most of us feel is unwarranted. Last year LIG was supposed to win and cats were up in arms over that and there was like 100 page thread about how Nas was robbed and lost at the same damn time.

This aint new man. The Grammy's aint the benchmark for what true hip hop is so stop looking for them for approval. And stop making this about race. We as a people will not progress until we empower ourselves and stop looking to others for acceptance and recognition.

6 AOTY winners in 17 years have been white. 6/17 = 35%

What is even more incredulous is the number of white rappers during these years. That means white rappers as a percentage of all winners are incredibly highly represented.

shyt, I think white rappers are batting 100% when nominated. With that said, I don't even watch the Grammys or care about them. I only replied to point out the false equivalency involving Hootie and Macklamore.

You're changing you're argument from artists to winners AND you aint counting right. (2014, 2010, 2009,2002,2001 = FIVE ALBUMS and TWO)

Name calling are tools of the defensive person who knows they're wrong.

Completely miss the point of the outrage in an attempt to
silence any dissent and relate the outrage purely to latent racism
in American blacks Brehs.




What breh ? Clearly these racist blacks have no idea what constitutes "Good" Hip Hop.
Do you not see the brilliance in Macklemore ? Guys like Kendrick and J. Cole are holding
Hip Hop back !






Black people are like SOOOOO racist !
Clearly there were no other talents worthy of a Grammy
that night.
Macklemore For the Win bro !

"I think the funniest thing is that y'all tryna downplay the Grammy's now, but this nikka Kendrick put on his Sunday's best to be in that bytch to hang out with the same CACs y'all in here tryna talk down on now that they didn't give him an award. That nikka is not no pro-black nikka so all this talk about race and shyt is stupid.

THe reality is, y'all AND Kendrick got hyped up at the prospect of large-scale white approval via the Grammy's. Jay only showed because the paid him to perform and prob told him he was winning something. Drake said FDB. Kanye said FDB (and this even with him being a serious contender for the Best Rap Album award and definitely could have performed if he wanted to). Lil dumb ass Kendrick was up in that bytch all giddy like it was nothing.

Stop acting like that nikka is just some symbolism for blackness. He lookin' for that white approval just like anyone else and he's not special.

Dude had a black ass hood song covered by a suburban white boy rock band and y'all still talkin' about "blackness" when it comes to him. He sold out right then and there. Prob thought doin' that shyt was gonna score him some points with the committee so he could get an award. "

"
I was smart enough to know that Kendrick had no chance.
Having the best album doesn't mean shyt. Kendrick had very good run, but Macklemore was everywhere. He had hit singles, became the face of anti-gay rights, had movie placements, was the first rapper to be shown performing on Fox during the nfl playoffs....
All Kendrick had was GKMC and Control......He couldn't compete with dude on the popular tip and thats why he lost. Simple as that"

I could give a shyt about race actually...Just make good music. Why can't everyone think like that?

It's 30% not 35%. Big difference.

It's basically a guarantee that everytime a mainstream relevant white rapper makes an album he can get the grammy, only exception was encore but they didn't want to make it obvious since it was a weed plate.

 

[aRoMaN21]

He shouldve won a grammy with his blowfish band in 1995 though

Paul Wall has made numerous albums, but how many Grammys does he have?

Bubba Sparxxx has made three or four albums, but how many Grammys does have?

Asher Roth?

Mac Miller?

LOL at adding mainstream and relevant in front of white rapper. Pretty much any mainstream relevant artist regardless of skin color is guaranteed to win.
