Bringing up the "Best Rap Album" award is a red herring..Because the Grammy has been recognizing and awarding rap since 1989....Every name I listed was prominent then...
No, my barometer of 1996, is better than this ridiculous historical point you try to paint knowing very well that they were literally awarding oneor a couple a year for about 8 years. It is mathematically impossible for all those people to have won. By the time multiple categories related to hip hop was a fixture at the Grammys, those people were no longer relevant. There is no need to create false realities to make your point. I mean even the award you mentioned in 1989 was awarded only once again before 2012.
Every album Kanye West has ever released has won the award for best rap album and every album Eminem released besides Encore won the award..This isn't just a numbers game of them showing up so much they have higher odds.. They can sh1t on wax and chances are they will be the awarded best rap album/song of the year by default..
Facts don't bear this. Like I said before about always being there: if you're are putting up popular records every year with critical acclaim and keep getting nominated, eventually, (unless you fukk up like T.I. and go to jail. I don't know if he's won any Grammys, but he was getting major performances at the Grammys and he had the hype...the win was inevitable) you're going to win.
You can't point to a single year where either Jay-Z or Kanye undeservedly won given the competition in their categories. KC = 0 awards. Justifiably. There is no clear egregious victory. I already addressed Em, so that was a waste.
By your logic, Snoop with his 15 nominations should atleast have 1 for his constant presence...
No, by your misinterpreted logic. Tell me what was so "constant" about Snoop that he was destined to win one. Being known everywhere doesn't mean you were dropping an album every year like Jay or getting nominated every year. Snoop was nominated for Drop It Like It's Hot and then wasn't nominated again for rap song of the year until years later for Sexual Eruption. If you don't follow the awards or know the history I have no idea why you felt as though you could make critical commentary.
It's not all relative.. It's nonsensical...It seems to be biased or corrupt more than any other category...
Yet, you have nothing you can use to justify it outside of Eminem.
The best argument for your point was made by me
when I said that the biggest mistakes they make often is who gets nominated in the first place. But once they do nominate people, sans Em, they usually make the right pick out of the list. I've critiqued the Grammys before for snubbing in nominations, (I.E. One Mic) but you're not making much sense with yours.
Note: you're making pretty bad arguments when I'm in a position of defending the Grammys. [/B][/COLOR][/FONT]
