The Weeknd, the biggest artist of 2020, received 0 grammy noms EDIT: Speaks out on Grammy corruption

[Piffiztheanswer]

Album was flames

 

[The Wolf Among You]

Well, it’s the same reason why actors want Oscars and Emmys and thespians want Tony’s. It establishes the individual as being the best amongst their peers, and enables them to receive the perks associated with that

I am aware of why they want it.
My question is why there is still so much surprise to an award show that has always been considered a clown show?
How many more times does the Grammys get to do clown shyt, and people continue to pretend like they don’t know the game being played?

Every year it’s; “fukk the Grammys” until it’s time for the Grammys.

Drake said the same thing when he won best hip-hop for Hotline Bling or Controlla.

it should have been in the Pop category but the academy seems to have an issue with those Canadians stepping on toes.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Weeknd been trash since he went pop

Facts. Weekend used to be dope but since his been a pop emo fakkit, he's been insufferable.


So glad those racists music cacs sonned his bytch ass..

Imagine not nominating the biggest song of the year. How can anyone even argue against that? Grammys = bunch of clowns.

apart from Blinding Lights, Afterhours itself should’ve been nominated for best album too.

album is trash. beat was trash as well.

Weekend needs to enjoy his billboard award and shut the fukk up

Weeknd has been dropping trash but this album was solid, he perfected the balance between the talent he has and the bubblegum pop shyt.

But yea there has to be some type of technical explanation to this.

Also got to thank the grammy's for giving me some music to put on my list for the first time ever. They got 4 dudes with albums that don't even have a wikipedia ahead of the weeknd in the RnB category, some of which are EPs and John Legends unknown shyt being the only one with one.

• Happy 2 Be Here – Ant Clemons
• Take Time – Giveon
• To Feel Love/D – Luke James
• Bigger Love – John Legend
• All Rise – Gregory Porter

Impossible you think that. That album was great.

but Blinding Lights? Listen, weather you like or dislike that song, the general and overall consensus is that song was and is an undeniable hit, the numbers speak for itself.

Grammys def with the clear snub here.

Giveon is fire

So the Grammy's ppl got salty because he wanted to perform at the Super Bowl. Even though they came to an agreement where he'd perform at both. After getting snubbed like this, he should tell the Grammy's to kick rocks.

The Grammy's is a non-profit association for musicians and writers, meaning that The Weeknd is apart of it whether he wants or not

This shyt should be democratic, so Weeknd is correct in that shyt is straight corruption if people weren't even able to nominate him.

An interesting thing though is that John Legend and two artists associated with him are national trustees for the academy.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Anyone is music can become a member of the grammies. I'll join myself very soon.

Lil Baby is the biggest snub and he was actually nominated.

 

[Paper Boi]

he don't need that shyt.

Called it. This is why you always know who is gonna win - and who isn't gonna win - based on who is performing. It's why Drake probably has half the amount of Grammys he should have - mind you, this is not an argument about quality of music, it's about willingness to dance for the Grammys. He has told them to fukk off enough times to lose out on awards.

I can respect the way some genres handle their awards - for instance the way the rap nominees were handled this year. But those major awards are all about politics, and white people. Hell even if he had gotten a bunch of noms I don't think he would have won. They're always going to favor white pop+rock.
