:comeon:But em has talent tho

Ohhhh, so it's about talent? Okay. So awards are giving out not for projects, videos etc its given out just off talent - cuz talent is subjective and that means talented people should recieve awards just off GP every year just for being "talented"?

No. Em was part of the machine too. Em was a white dude doing something percieved as "black music" - thats marketable. He came out during the MTV era, hence why alot of his fanbase are teenagers - white at that - who grew up with shows like TRL etc and only know about 5-6 rappers well (mostly Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre (yeah, see him as a rapper too. Funny huh?), Em himself, 50 Cent, 2pac & Biggie). So it was just about ratings, demographics, marketing, deals, advertisments etc with him too.

Why you think Taylor Swift - a current popular artist - performs at EVERY award shows EVERY year and the camera flashes her face & reaction EVERY minute? It's a business. ALWAYS been like that.

Whether you and i think a person talented or not has nothing to do with the convo & how it works.

:what:@ people really expecting these artist to put out quality material on their 9th solo album. All artist fall off. Your fortunate to get 2 or 3 quality albums from your favorites artist. It's usually downhill after that.

OP sound racist as fukk Iggy deserved the awards she got. You really trying to say she aint better than Eminem and Drake two of the corniest bytches in the game? You just mad an Australian white girl is out rapping your favorite artist. T.I. is still a dope artist just because he supports hip hop and understands that hip hop is about how you grew up and not the color of your skin does not make him a sell out. White people are not appropriating hip hop we ARE a part of hip hop whether you like it or not. You can take advantadge of that and make money with white people or you can bytch about it while white people take all the money.

thats one of the reasons why rap is so stagnant now. dudes be dragging old rappers to the grave.

if youre still buying T.I. records expecting some big chit, then thats on you.

It's a sad era where these old rappers can linger around approaching their 10th solo album. They really have nothing to give anymore & fans seem oblivious as to why.

It's exactly what you were saying in one of those 90's R&B threads where you had artist/groups release 1 or 2 albums & you never heard from them again. It was way better that way, because artist weren't around giving the fans bullshyt.
