[pifftannen]

the grammy year is not from january-december i dont believe, so thats how it can seem like older albums get nominated

Drake has so much leverage they might as well and let the label resolve the issues later or something it seems like.

And don't even mention the mix-shows. Drake's leaks stay killing on there.

The Record Of The Year nominees: All white. The Song Of The Year nominees: All white. The Best New Artist nominees: All white. When the Album Of The Year picks come out tonight on what promises to be a gloriously corny Grammys Christmas special, odds are they’ll be almost entirely ivory too. Maybe the major sales and massive critical orgy around Beyoncé’s (seriously excellent) self-titled album will be enough to snag her a nomination, but maybe not; and even if she does get nominated, does she really stand a chance against Ed Sheeran or Sam Smith? Should we even have to question whether the world’s biggest pop star’s critically acclaimed blockbuster album will be nominated for a Grammy because she’s black? I don’t know, but it feels like we have to. Even last year’s Grammy hero, Pharrell, saw his G I R L relegated to the “Urban Contemporary” no flex zone.

Again, this is not a new phenomenon, and it’s hardly limited to the Grammys. But it feels especially grating this year to see black artists siphoned off into their own category-ghettos, partially because of the cultural context, and partially because the major categories the white artists are running rampant through seem so especially mediocre this year. It’s increasingly difficult to believe that Lauryn Hill and OutKast actually took home Album Of The Year honors in 1999 and 2004, respectively. Adding insult to injury is the assurance that the white artists who sneak into the traditionally black categories are all but guaranteed a victory. It’s not hard to picture thrice-nominated Iggy Azalea will be reliving last year’s Macklemore controversy as The New Classic claims Best Rap Album (though honestly this year’s weak field reflects the dearth of quality major rap albums), and Eminem’s “Rap God” certainly has a shot at winning Best Rap Song. This isn’t an outrage on par with the American justice system, but it still sucks.

Only fukkin CACS receive a grammy no suprise here.
Where is Pinata,Cilvia Demo and Cole's new joint at.

 

[PhonZhi]

All ima say is this: that Sam Smith joint and that Take Me To Church joint alone shyts on 95% of all the music made by blacks this year. Ppl love music that makes em FEEL something. We too busy making "turn up" and strip club music. We dont make anything with soul or of substance. For instance, we have an r&b legend in Usher at damn near 40 makin songs talkn bout "shawty i dont mind if u dance on a pole". I HOPE Iggy cleans house. Hopefully itll spark something in us to make better music


















Not that we care about the Grammy's tho

 

[Dat Migo]

What is the difference between song of the year and record of the year?

 

[retroracer]

These rap categories are fukking atrocious. Blacc Hollywood?

 

[Azul]

What is the difference between song of the year and record of the year?

Song of the year is more so about lyrics and awards the writers. Record of the year (the smash hits) awards the artist and producer

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Gambino with 2 Grammy noms

Iggy's taking both categories tho.

 

[lightskin jermaine]
