I'm coming into this thread because I didn't watch that show.

Just wanted to add that Kendrick deserved all his. 4:44 was overrated. I get it Jay, you grew up, but I don't know anyone who actually listen to that album front to back.

And as far as a purist Rhapsody should have won anyway, but I'm glad Kendrick won.

kendrick :laff:

nah but once Bruno won Record and Song it was a foregone conclusion :yeshrug:

i’m not even that mad about it. damn was whatever, 4:44 was light, Childish has one hot song. Lorde’s album was great but didn’t have the widespread appeal like 24k

Sza got robbed because cara isn't a new artist
Cara has multiplat hit in 2015. shyts crazy
Technically, neither is SZA, but I get it. There has to be some sort of line in the sand, because especially with hip-hop & R&B it gets blurred by all these mixtapes and promo shyt that technically isn't out for retail yet (and mixtape stuff that winds up out on retail)

Next year, some hip-hop artist is gonna get nominated and we're gonna be like ":dahell: I got tracks by you from 2014 and shyt"

Now that you mention it, that might have hurt Kendrick.

Bruno is Westbrook

Kendrick and Hov were Curry and Durant

SZA is a new artist as far as mainstream is concerned

Breh why the fukk does it matter. Like what you like fukk what the awards think about it

No one ever explains why the Grammys or Oscars are considered to be more important
than an NAACP Image Award, a Soul Train Award or the BET Awards?

No one is vexed over the disappearance of The Source Awards.

Yet, every year black social media depression increases due to white awards show snubs. I will never understand.

Man that's some bullshyt, Hov and B need to black ball the awards for the rest of their lives.

Kendricks gotta be scratching his head like crazy now, what does that man have to do to win? He's got the critical and commercial success and still can't take it.

This is the head of the Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammys.

He is a representative example of an average voting member of the Academy.

So while you are expecting the list of Grammy winners to have the same composition as a Hot 97
playlist, just remember who's voting for these awards.
