Do ppl really think 24k Magic was better than DAMN?

[PhonZhi]

Can somebody post the most "r&b" sounding song off that Bruno album?

My personal definition of what "r&b" sounds like is different than the couple songs I've heard off if it.

Bruno basically won with a cover album of shyt that the Grammy board didn't give a fukk about when it was prominent. Teddy Riley, Babyface, etc all that shyt was overlooked for years (although Janet Jackson did with some awards to be fair). Bruno does it, and suddenly it's fresh and exciting.

That being said...it was inevitable. I understand why the demographics involved liked Bruno more than 444 or DAMN. Brehs...they don't really fukk with rap. The entire BOARD votes for the major awards. Pop, rap, country, jazz, etc...all their voters vote, and it should be obvious why those songwriters chose an album that is dominated by talented songwriters.

That is NOT r&b breh

 

[GeeEffKay]

DAMN is easily better but it was easy to predict giving it to bruno, he safest choice for the Grammys. Bruno’s album is solid and a good listen though so its no where near a robbery like TPAB and taylor swift.

What it's considered then? It's damn sure ain't pop by any means.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

yep... and Damn has sold more than Bruno in less time.



good reason for him to get song of the year but damn was a more successful album.

More successful?

In what metric?

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

It's amazing how people act as if kendrick is supposed to win,just cause.
There's nothing great about kendrick or his albums.
I mean the conscious image has done him well. It allows him to be graded on a curve,in which he gets inflated props just for existing and being successful.
There's plenty of rap albums over the years with much better music ,that never will get that level of praise from the rosenburgs of the world.

Look at nikkas like ross:

Better than any kendrick album i've ever heard (and he has other dope albums),streets was bumping heavy. nikkas dont care when he dont win. But they crying over this cornball everytime it dont work out,like nikkas owe him something.

 

[Real]

nikkas actually think damn is a better album than 24k magic?

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

More successful?

In what metric?

sales. damn is 3x platinum and bruno is 2x, and damn has not been out as long as 24k magic. also damn even had more grammy nominations now that i look at the stats (damn had 7, bruno had 6). i hear people say damn had more critical acclaim but i don't pay attention to that too much although i do remember there was a list where publications chose album of the year and DAMN. had the most first and second place votes by a huge margin. idk any other metrics so yeah just sales and grammy nominations and acclaim.

That shyt is about as r&b as Adele and Sam Smith are “Soul.”
