I don't know how I feel about Andre 3000 being nominated by the Grammys for his flute album

To be honest way worse albums have been nominated and won Best album, so fukk it

He's only there because he got name check and he actually promoted the album in those high brow circles (NPR, etc)

I hope he wins :yeshrug:

People over hating the album will always be hilarious. You’re only helping him and the album win. This album is Taylor made for grammy success. Def didn’t expect an AOTY nom but whatever.

3 stacks is overrated there I said it :unimpressed:

He was part of one of the GOAT hip hop duos in Atlanta and is part of the history but am tired of pretentious heads putting him above Nas Jay G Rap Rakim Redman etc when his output has been low and has not been able to produce real albums after the 2000s
I’ve been saying this forever. Atlanta and southern nikkas we’re desperate to have their version of Jay or Nas and we got the 3Stacks propaganda push

Respectfully how is that pretentious?
He obviously believes in his music and wants people to hear it.
I know a bunch of people who’ve gone to his shows and especially the people who saw it in good venues acoustically thought it was great and well worth the money.
People use words they don't know the meaning of :mjlol:

All that matter is how Andre himself feels

“I’m used to people feeling a way, but at the same time, it’s just proof for me that I can only do what I’m into,” he told Variety shortly after the nominees were announced. “I think that’s why I’m here. I get up on trying to expand myself. I have to be fun and be into what I’m doing. That’s it.”

lol at Grammys lost credibility.

Like it used to be good and got worse.

It actually a lot better than it’s ever been. And the Grammys is the only award show that is not owned by a for-profit corporation.

I’m just happy that Andre is not in the rap category but in instrumental music and alternative Jazzz.

Also when should Kool G rap got an award and over who?

Back in the days they only gave out best rap song solo and group. Then they added album.

Dudes just say the most random shyt when they shyt on the Grammy’s.

They “lost cred” cause he and Chino didn’t win song of the year over Dear Mamma, Big Poppa and Gangstas paradise?

My only problem with the Grammys is that everyone gets to vote on everything and it’s equally waited. That would be like soccer journalist getting to vote in the MLB and NFL mvp, and MLB journalists getting to vote in the cricket mvp etc. And rap people are so oblivious to the fact that they can vote. Like Joe Budden always cries, but never votes, doesn’t even know that he can vote.

They switched up the rules so voters are capped on which genre categories they can vote for and the rap field has been wayyyyyy better at getting actual industry peers to vote in the category. Its not perfect but its been better since the 2014 debacle when Macklemore robbed Kendrick.
