Would I personally give him AOTY over Kendrick, no because across all genres, damn owned 2017 FOR ME.

But bruno dropped fire, easily one of my top 5 r&b albums of 2017 (since it came out so late in 16). His albums have always been good and so what he did 90's era r&b? A lot of artists do a "period" album - Raphael saddiq's 07/08 album comes to mind. Bruno is stupid talented - went head to head with Beyoncé at the super bowl and was just as entertaining as her - and he's actually an artist that loves music. his albums have been all over the place so it's not like he's solely relying on "repackaging" music to sell :rolleyes:. It's also funny how y'all whitewash dude like he's some whiteboy (but got a fukking JT anticipation thread :comeon: ) with all the privilege and easy acclaim that comes with being "blue eyed soul". breh is a brown mutt and a midget at that, acting like a rican pinoy singing r&b was the recipe for white acceptance and success is laughable.

I don't see an issue with him winning AOTY, in fact i would have been fine with him, Kendrick, or gambino winning it last night. :manny:

How can I flip flop when

A. Im NOT a Voter
B. Ive Never Voted
C. Grammy's have never been an exact science
D. All of the Above


I simply said, based on MY thoughts, Grammys got it right. He had songs that played out alllll summer. Second biggest tour behind U2 that BLACK people as well as all other races flocked to go to.

Dude asked me how Beck got nominated and won? I said the same way Childish Gambino got a Nom..

You have people with different ears voting. Y'all aint never listed to Beck album, but bringing him up. Beck was no stranger to Grammy wins. Paid his dues. Went against the system a few times and still came back to win another Grammy.

So do you think Beck deserved his win over Beyoncé? :gucci::jbhmm:

What does it matter if I do or dont?

Beck album isnt awful.. got some good songs on it.

Were you outraged when Herbie Hancock beat Graduation?

We can do this for days. Just cuz YOU dont listen to it, doesnt mean its not good.

I'd like to think everybody who is nominated put out great projects.

Bruno's im not that big of a fan of.

But out of the pool of nominations his album(24k magic) was the best imo:yeshrug:.

Jay in my top fav rappers but the 4:44 gets really boring after a few listens except story of OJ, Family Feud, and smile.

I think people exaggerate it becasue people had so low expectations after his previous project (MCHG) plus a few lines of conciousness/pro-black and other BS

Damn doesnt live up to its hype for shyt.

Awaken my love is only good for two songs the one he performed and "Rebone"

I dont fw the grammys but thats prolly the one thing they got right

Same way Childish Gambino got nominated for Album of the year this year... Academy voted

And it seems to be getting much more weighted to Black music now, but y'all harping over Kendrick didnt win.

This was the most fair vote Ive seen in years.
When did I harp on anything? I pointed out the inconsistency in your statement and you went on a red herring. You guys love shadowboxing. I didn't even want Kendrick to win lol and you dodged. But go ahead fam...

I love Kendrick music and think TPAB is one of the greatest albums in the last ten years but that album DAMN is kind of a snooze fest. I still don’t understand the hype for that album.

24k album all sounds like I heard it before but it was still dope a brought back memories and made me reminisce.

You're dodging because your logic makes no sense. Saying you want bruno to win and trying to defend it on historical grounds after someone points out how ridiculous that argument is given recent history makes you look foolish. You dodged addressing the argument by saying because the academy voted when before you pretended there was some sort of logic to their voting patterns. Just say you liked his album best and leave it at that. Your argument is trash. All I have said is that everyone with your argument better shut the fukk up when Swift wins next year.

First of All, Im not in any form a Bruno fan. I simply said the best person won based on the work he put in and the feedback it received. Nyggas making it some sort of snub. Yall need to just accept the awards for what they are. I did...

But you still can’t give a valid reason as to why Bey’s album lost to Beck. You said Bruno deserved it due to the work he put in and the feedback it received. But when we bring up self titled...you deflect.

Nygga are you a retard? How the fuhk Imma give a valid reason for an whole academy of voters? Yall bozo's need to log off the net for a change.. lol

Whoooooooooooo the fuhk can answer this? I said in posts that its not an exact science. All these people voting and you gonna ask me to give a valid reason on a winner? lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo


Read you remedial clown. You have albums that are nominated, Academy picks the winner. End of story.

Some of the winners you gonna like and relate to, some you wont.

Some are the biggest stars of today, some are not. Been that since day one. Now if you cant comprehend that, I dont know what to tell you. Nyggas up in arms cuz they dont like Bruno's music. so what if YOU dont..

No need to get hostile. What you actually said was Bruno’s album deserved it because it’s essentially the biggest album of the nominees and is the most recognizable. But this doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t explain Bey’s loss to Beck. That’s the question. You posted that shyt like it’s a pattern or Grammy voting formula.

Just admit you were talking out ya ass and ended up looking stupid in the process.

And this is why he doesn’t realize how stupid he sounds.

If your argument doesn’t apply across the board, then you have NO argument and should shut your silly ass up. :mjlol:

I never said I wanted Bruno to win. NEVER. I didnt buy or support nobody nominated, but it doesnt take rocket science to see who really put a lot of work in and it paid off THEIR way.

If Kendrick would have won, I wouldnt have cared. Same for Lorde or Jay Z.

Out of those I named, Bruno got the most out of his work
