So the Grammy's created an award for Frank Ocean to win

[prophecypro]

Thing is was Frank even a bigger winner like that yesterday? Like OP said, they gave him a very generic made up award and his other win was for Kanye/Jay. He probably deserved some of the other awards and whether you like him or hate him, you gotta question is one win

Anyways, interesting piece on the Grammys struggle to be young but end up still being conservative.

They'll give it to the popular guys...but what is popular in 2013 when pop culture is hard to define?

Isn't this thread based on the opinion that Frank has received massive amounts of unwarranted praise for a mediocre album with no radio songs? While Miguel's album front to back is amazing, including Adorn (winner of Best R&B Song).

So, No Sir,

CO was a dope ass album. Honestly if u want to talk about booty bandits then Miguels album was way more homo sounding than franks

in addition to being alot worse

A for effort award (or H for Homo)

I read that earlier today, basically all the safe choices that old :cac: feel comfortable with won

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Urban contemporary aka Alternative Negro music. Its so demonic.

Grammy awards dont reflect reality fortunately.

 

[Danie84]

Urban Contemporary sounds like an underground club

[CrimsonTider]

The lyrical content alone just blows it out the water.

Adorn a nice lil love song though

Lyrics are not the be all end all, especially in R&B

Miguel sounds better than Frank

Miguel is 10x the singer Frank Ocean is, that was made more clear but Frank's :fif: performance last night

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Frank Ocean is not a great singer. His lyrics are where he shines, and Miguel's lyrics aren't anywhere close to his.

And you fakkits wouldn't be talking shyt if Chris Brown won that award.
