Official Hip Hop Grammy's 2016 Thread

IMO that confirms Kendrick won't win any major awards. They'll get him on tv accepting the rap awards to "make nice" about it.

BTW some winners so far (categories that are not televised):

WINNERS

Best Song Written for Visual Media Common & John Legend - Glory

Common got the TRIFECTA

How does Bad Blood beat Alright?
Probably felt it was a good way to award Swift & Kendrick at the same time.

They gotta give Swift at LEAST three awards tonight

why do we still pay attention to the grammys? they hold no real weight, these are the type of poeple that would think drake could win a rap battle against someone like pusha-t or freddie gibbs

i think we're better off ditching htem and creating our shyt but alas it would never come to pass

 

[Ziggiy]

I hope Kendrick cleans up this year

The fact their televising the Rap Categories after YEARS of not doing so suggests he's definitely gonna win at least RAOTY and Best Rap Performance. I'm pulling for him to AOTY because he truly and the BEST album of 2015, it's not even debatable

People in hip hop need to start using their votes to make it better

Best Music Video: Kendrick Lamar & Taylor Swift - Bad Blood

First win for Kendrick tonight, second win for Taylor.

IMO the Bad Blood video was bad. Worst video she did (that I saw) and just seemed cheesy. Plus she always preaching women need to stick together and then made a diss song about Katy Perry lmao

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

In for Kendrick angering white america tonight

I said at the beginning of the thread, it's not just US the fans who continue to give credence and relevance to the Grammy's, it's the artists themselves. They show up to the Ceremony year after year, even Kanye West, whose dissed them live AT the ceremony. Why? Because they know and understand that THEY DESERVE a the recognition.

Alabama Shakes is overrated. Can't stream 1989 but Taylor had those hits.
