It's not specific to rap, Rock didn't have an award until 1980, that's nearly 30 years and 20 years after people were moving 40 million units.Since this is a rap board I'm gonna focus on rap specifically.
The Grammys ignored rap music for literally a decade....then in 1989 gave the first Rap Performance Grammy to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince....which was cool but the shyt that rap fans were really listening to ("Straight Outta Compton", "It Takes A Nation Of Millions", "Follow The Leader", "Making Trouble")....actually fukk it, here's a list of the rap albums that came out in '88:

Anyway, they ignored what was actually going on in hip-hop. This should be a big ass clue how the Grammys operate, across the board. So to see rap fans actively participate in Grammy discussion isas hell....they don't give a fukk about you, or the genre. Then again the vast majority of this board is just pop fans infatuated with a couple rappers they'll eventually outgrow, so it is what it is.
Fred.
The grammy's have always been old people who don't understand the new school. Pun intended.

yes they did. If u talkin bout making beats than I guess most legendary hip hop artists aren't "artists" to u. If that's the case. fukk is u doin on this forum? I'm tired of u nikkas actively disrespecting hip hop on this forum.



I notice.
