Everywhere...You never there.
I was on a cruise last summer for about a week. They played Bruno Mars so much, I wondered if that's all they had on the ship. It got to the point where I didn't wanna hear 24K Magic or Uptown Funk anymore.


Bruno's undeniable. Kendrick is too. If the Grammys did that non-confrontational tie shyt some award shows be on, they probably woulda split that Grammy.


Thinking about it now, Kendrick wasn't even the most snubbed artist in his clique tonight. SZA got more of a grievance than he does.

One is on the verge of being an icon. Possibly the last real icon in music.

Beyoncé, Taylor (debatable), Adele, then Bruno ... I don’t know if the game is gonna get too many more.

The other, although technically skilled, is still trying to crack the top 15 of the greatest rapper list.


Grammy’s wanna get this one right . :manny:

Even my mom loves Bruno Mars. Him winning was inevitable given who votes on this stuff. Kendrick did everything imaginable to win, including having the biggest album of the year by far, and still lost. I bet what hurt most was 4:44 which took urban votes that would have gone to DAMN otherwise.

End of the day he got 5, plus all the producers get a Grammy for best rap album. Daps to Alchemist.

Hov tho...damn. They really had him sit in the front row too lmao. Next album he's def putting out some modern shyt btw.

Thread is jokes...

If we don't create our own awards shows we never going to get what we want.

If it were up to me everyone that gets nominated gets an award and time to shine on stage.

They snub because it keeps pathetic people coming back to watch year after year...

They are also racist forgot to mention that....


We REALLY need to make The soul train Awards a thing again. I’ve been saying that for years.

Also if you clean up the BET Awards a bit it could be dope again. People forget but the BET Awards used to be a VERY good showcase for our black talent

What's not to tell? Cuz I don't let these coli weirdos punk me? I'm certified, people have seen my pics, have my FB/IG, and a few have met me @mastermind
I be getting Dora confused with a couple other posters. The only time I seem to know her is that she's a 9ers fan who went to Stanford and be defending her Soros. That's all I can remember about you. But you cool if you who I think you are. I really be getting you and Azul mixed up.

Hov is never coming to this show again b. Trust he's not coming unless they tell him he's winning. They did that shyt to Roc Nation 2 years in a row. Had Rihanna sit up front to go 0 for 8 last year.

That was super disrespectful. To do that to Jay Z in New York. That takes some incredible balls on their part. That will not sit well in New York and you can see it in the media already. nikkas are not feeling it. The Grammys will always pick the safe album. I have no idea why people keep expecting otherwise. You can change the process to get more hip hop albums in the category all you want but the final tally is a wrap. You're not outvoting those old ass people or conseravative music fans. Grammy literally used Jay to validate their award show this year and then snubbed him. Gave him an icon award as a consolation. That shyt is crazy. At the very least he and Beyonce should have won for Family Feud. I can see why he declined to perform. He had to know.
