Yet last year, Beck won over Beyonce? When you tell me Taylor wins over Kendrick, Im not surprised. Shes a pop star. But so is Beyonce, shes one of the biggest stars on the planet. And she lost to Beck? Who the fukk is checking for Beck. Never heard this dude's songs on the radio. :mindblown:

Like is this supposed to be a joke or are these judge fukks just being blatant with the racist shyt. As if Macklemore winning over Kendrick wasn't enough. :beli:

IMO they're different situations. The Grammys has a few plays, as I keep saying brehs.

-The best seller/crowd favorite: Taylor Swift (twice), Adele, Daft Punk, Outkast, etc
-The veteran win: Robert Plant, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, etc
-The faux indie win for credibility: Beck, Arcade Fire, etc

Beyonce was the best seller/crowd favorite last year but lost to the surprise indie pick for credibility. It's like a game of rock, paper, scissors and each one has a near equal chance to win.

Kendrick doesn't fit any of those categories, he was never going to win.

Honestly The Weeknd would've been equivalent to the Daft Punk win. Solid and diverse album, great success and nobody would've been mad.

But who cares, really. Why beg for their awards when you know they'll never give a fair shake.

Next year it'll be Adele vs Lady Gaga. Who I both like, but unless Bruno Mars (another great artist) drops a music-shifting level of an album, any other artist going for a Grammy against them given the circumstances is mismatched.

Adele sweeping everything

you know how many minutes of the Grammys I watched?

0

Are y'all young or just have goldfish memory? These guys have absolutely no merit when it comes to judging Black music and they do the same thing every year: Use the hip hop/RnB crowd to draw in the audience, then give the award to some cac. It's beyond :russell: at this point.

You'd think with all the shyt thats going on right now though, like with the Oscars, they'd make some "adjustments". :dead:
