Here is the problem though. They are giving her too much attention.

And if she wins that Rap AOTY Grammy, she is gonna rise through all this with more fame unfortunately. :smh:

There is no problem. She can enjoy her success, but under no terms do we HAVE to embrace her success. Business is going to be business, her records will sell, but it doesn't mean we should automatically give her cultural relevance. If she's comfortable being a vulture, let her be that.

Agree, no need to embrace it but their are people in the game (Banks) putting too much effort on her. As a result they are giving her more ammo to succeed and be talked about.

hip hop needs to stops caring about Grammys. fukk a fukking Grammy. The best music of the decade is rarely mentioned. It's a billboard sales recap more than a music award, like say the Mercury prize or something similar. Hip hop needs to go back to making moving music rather than focusing on getting validation from a bullshyt record exec committee. Yeah it's bill shyt but fukk a fukking Grammy. Connect to people through real musuc, not a faux gold bs trophy.

word, nikkas said fukk the subtle shyt :dead: they making it so she's gonna HAVE to talk about race/her privilege in every interview she has from now on
She did it to herself by not playing her position. She acts like she is where she is cause of talent or something. cacs try to give macklemore and eminem all the awards but at least they always downplay it and say hey don't deserve them (even though its not genuine its a small semblance of respect that they acknowledge their white privilege to an extent).

Absolutely right. The game shouldn't care or cater to the Grammy's. Last year's debacle says it all really.

If you pressure Marshall into

Coming out and admitting his legacy and impact on hip hop is greatly exggerated/embellished because he is white.

You would think he dropped an album on the level of Illmatic or The Chronic


Marshall can drop doo doo and put it out and it will get praised.

A black artist can put their blood sweat and tears into an album. Make a great project and it'll get over looked.


The masses will be pissed.


Hip hop will win
