I think the funniest thing is that y'all tryna downplay the Grammy's now, but this nikka Kendrick put on his Sunday's best to be in that bytch to hang out with the same CACs y'all in here tryna talk down on now that they didn't give him an award. That nikka is not no pro-black nikka so all this talk about race and shyt is stupid.

THe reality is, y'all AND Kendrick got hyped up at the prospect of large-scale white approval via the Grammy's. Jay only showed because the paid him to perform and prob told him he was winning something. Drake said FDB. Kanye said FDB (and this even with him being a serious contender for the Best Rap Album award and definitely could have performed if he wanted to). Lil dumb ass Kendrick was up in that bytch all giddy like it was nothing.

Stop acting like that nikka is just some symbolism for blackness. He lookin' for that white approval just like anyone else and he's not special.

Dude had a black ass hood song covered by a suburban white boy rock band and y'all still talkin' about "blackness" when it comes to him. He sold out right then and there. Prob thought doin' that shyt was gonna score him some points with the committee so he could get an award.

even Steven Tyler from Aerosmith paid homage to the gawd Smokey Robinson during primetime

1. were those (besides daft punk ) televised?

i didnt watch the grammies because they dont cater to me or anything i care about

2. this is a hiphop message board so hiphop will be at the forefront of the discussion

 

[swerve]

Black Music lost in that sense that we have the caciest hiphop artist EVER dropping the most caciest album EVER snubing one of the most talented hiphop artists of the last decade on what can be seen as the best album of the last decade

that is how black music lost

This is true in a way...I don't blame Kendrick for going. Obviously any new artist is gonna jump at the chance to perform at the grammys. But at the same time Grammys have no respect for hip hop or hip hop artists. So its basically tap dancing out there. I know its dudes like Jay Z who will do anything for a dollar but it would be nice to see a boycott of the grammys by hip hop artists in future years even tho I ain't expecting much. At least Kanye's finally smartened up

He'll be back next year

 

[Statik]

He'll be back next year

Idk, he didn't show up last year either even thou he won.

 

[The Bookie]

He'll be back next year

He hasn't been since MBDTF was snubbed for an AOTY nomination. That was 2011.

Dis white man shook my daddies hand at the General Store one morning.. Dat man is so good to us.. Yes suh he shole is....

 

[H.I.M.]

A black dude took home a grammy for "best COUNTRY solo performance"

Any outrage in the cac community about "these rootin' tootin' naggers taking over mah country music gosh dangit!" on country music message boards?

 

[FlyRy]

side not but related.. "cacklemore" gets me every time

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Sorry but here is where your WRONG with your argument...

All three of those artists were blacks who WONT CHALLENGE OR COME OFF AS THREATNING TO THE STATUS QUO

they maeginalized R&B since the justin/thicke takeover and gave the darkies TRADITIONAL R&B ..the category which GARY CLARK Won

whom happens to WORK for WARNER MUSIC GROUP

just like good ole LALA HATHAWAY employed by UNIVERSAL/STAX who FINALLY got a Grammy because she cosigned that racially friendly group of diversity known as SNARKY PUPPY

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRFtkH_xKDjY6qNCDklMqEq5vqC-oNMgVM7i0RomrxOzFJHoWXDSBONBC6m

Snarky Puppy.....^^^^^ looks kinda gay friendly too lol

Oh and DARIUS how can we forget UNIVERSALS 360 DEAL success story

either way u look at it BLACK ARTISTS had to lose something in terms of dignity and soverignty to win

Also just because you see a FEW N1GGAS with a "good job" doesnt mean we have made it to tje prpmise land

Because at issue here is CLASSISIM in the form of CORPORATE TYRANNY as well as racisim

just like HIP HOP had to become eurocentric and gay friendly to be recognized

to make Others FEEL COMFORTABLE

yes grasshopper BLACKS DID.LOSE and so did HUMANITY
