Taylor Swift has 10 Grammy Awards, Marvin Gaye has 2

[feelosofer]

The Grammy's are not neccessarily an indicator of musical quality, just popularity. Anyone who knows music knows Marvin Gaye is a better artist that Taylor Swift, but swift is more popular and resonates more with the youth. It is what it is.

Shyt even the Black Awards shows rarely big up the best artists. I was aghast back in 2001 when they awarded Country Grammar as the Album of the Year over Stankonia, or even Snoop or Em.

I am amused how Black people seem to give a shyt about the lack of inclusion in these award shows, year after fukking year.



Some things will never change..

The person I quoted is white

Just cause my knowledge is longer than NY hiphop doesn't mean that one isn't black. That's the typical shyt a rural cac would think. Go out and travel, get an education, relocate workin your company, go on exchange or something it'll open your eyes.

Btw rock is a black created and inspired genre.

continue to avoid the question - breh

I don't know why people care about this shyt so much, honestly.

Some of the greatest things ever- music, TV, movies, etc. have never won awards to signify their greatness.

The Grammys only get their picks right occasionally, and usually it has nothing to do with quality, but popularity... and sometimes its not even popularity but name recognition by the people who make the decisions.

Grammys have never and will never be accurate reflections of what or who is the 'best'.

You can look at the history of their hip-hop awards ALONE... every now & then they get it right by chance, and most of the time it's whatever the safest, most convenient choice was.

We shouldn't give a fukk about the Grammys by this point, but every year people do the same exact shyt...

The Booth isn't a hip hop forum. It's a pop culture forum..

Threads about Chris Brown, Mayweather, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce do bigger numbers here than threads on Killer Mike...

I understand that. What I' m getting at is people complain about the show every year even though they still watch and post in the Grammy thread. They say Grammys don't mean anything, but a huge stickied thread says otherwise.

i meant pre benzino

 

[RTF]

Quincy Jones has 27, Stevie Wonder has 25, Jay Z has 21, Kanye West has 21, Aretha Franklin has 18 but that doesn't fit your narrative does it.

How many of the big 3 awards do Kanye & Jay have?
