[Middle Finga U]

Kendrick needs to do a collab album with Taylor

I bet you that will be the one year that Taylor Swift doesn't win AOTY

 

[Ziggiy]

Tracklist looks aight though.

Y'all gonna be calling KRS-One a c00n in no time

KRS will NEVER be a c00n.


fukk Caclemore though. I will never EVER support ANYTHING he does

 

[AV Dicey]

Depp performing shows how goofy the whole thing is. I need Leo in full Wolf of Wall Street mode next year spitting some hot fiya with the good dr in a support role, preferably a cover of I Need a Dr. That'll learn em

 

[satam55]

nikkas need to start boycotting the Grammys entirely. Openly racist. Not even trying to hide it.

I don't care enough the Grammys to even care to boycott it.

 

[No1]

Breh I am NOT mad Kendrick won FIVE Grammys tonight and got onstage and REPRESENTED the culture in both his speech and his performance.


He definitely deserved AOTY but that Cac bytch HAD to win something

She had already won 3 other awards. She didn't need anymore and then her fake ass feminism? I don't think I've ever seen a cornier pop star.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

You said trying to be deep...that usually implies content/lyrics, not musical composition. And I never said your needed nor granted my permission, simply making the observation based on what YOU said that you should prolly stick to drake if k dot having a message perturbs you.

Well, I left the disclaimer to say it's merely about production and not subject matter.

 

[Izanami]

I listened to Kendrick Lamar TPAB and to me Drake's IYRTITL was a better album. Kendrick tried to be too deep to me.

Apples and Oranges.


Drake made an album for my whip


Kendrick made an album for my headphones

 

[Mission249]

I don't see why people glorify this shyt so much. Like you need some validation from whites award ceremonies to feel you achieved greatness

You heard of New Blacks? Well these are the New c00ns: they follow white people around basically begging them to appreciate them, award them, acknowledge them.

 

[No1]

every year.


That's up to the listener.

People need to stop thinking the Grammys are the Oscars. They are much closer to the MTV awards. No reason to be upset.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

So cole walked away empty handed?

 

[The G.O.D II]

Doubt it but go head and break it down

I already explained it perfectly clear. You make it seem like I said she was an unknown indie artist

 

[JerseyBoy23]

People need to stop thinking the Grammys are the Oscars. They are much closer to the MTV awards. No reason to be upset.

In that case why did Beyonce lose to Beck last year when she had the most popular album?

 

[Ziggiy]

She had already won 3 other awards. She didn't need anymore and then her fake ass feminism? I don't think I've ever seen a cornier pop star.

Not arguing your point Breh. I even made this thread under the premise that I was NOT going to be a hypocrite and get upset if Kendrick didn't win AOTY, as long as he won SOMETHING which he certainly did. He deservedly SWEPT the rap categories and he put on an impressively impassioned performance.

At the end of the day fukk Taylor Swift. Years from now there will still be dissertations and articles speaking, debating, and analyzing TPAB. 1989 will be no more than another Pop album by a pasty pale Cac bytch.

I'm happy Kendrick won, I'm happy Weeknd won, I'm happy D'angelo won.



I'll see you next year when you KNOW I'll be riding hard for Nas and Kanye. I expect you to join me
