They got to stop lying man.. If the Grammys don’t mean anything why are the same people mad every year? Why are the same people saying they don’t matter every year? Tell that to Victoria Monet or SZA.. chicks that have been grinding for YEARS to get to this point. I rarely hear these people bring up names of more current artists who deserve a Grammy. Then the same mad people don’t even show up to any of these award shows that cater to black people. This shyt is old

And of course the man that can sell music No matter what he says on them records can say Grammys don’t matter. People are barely buying music now so a lot of that shyt gets lost or forgotten. Let the people that want you enjoy their Grammy enjoy their Grammy
Victoria Monet is trash

He's right, but he wouldn't be saying that if he won :umad:

He literally did tho :heh:…the OP is a clip of him saying the same thing ON STAGE while accepting a Grammy…and he’s not submitted his own music for Grammy consideration for years

Folks get on here and pretend to have the internet literacy of 70 year Trump supporters when it’s time to pretend to be outraged and whine about some shyt

he's right though. the grammies doesn't mean shyt.

how many of our favorite top rated classic albums have actually won hip hop album of the year

shyt, hip hop or black act hardly win album of the year

I watch the grammys for entertainment and understand the importance for the artist because it elevates their status and money-earning potential.

But anyone seriously invested in their favorite artist winning is silly, especially if you and that favorite artist is black.

Its a popularity contest and a political award. It's a prop and a statement. It's a lot of things at various times whenever it feels like being it, but one thing it isn't is validation for black art.

You are not supposed to care that much about what white folks think of black art. I don't feel Lupe Fiasco is any less an artist having not won for best album, nor do I think Macklemore is any more of an artist because he has.

In fairness he didn’t submit it, 21 Savage’s team submitted. His last two albums he’s refused to submit and when CLB was nominated against his will he had the nom publicly rescinded.

I’ll give him credit alongside the Weeknd for standing on business and doing what alot of artists SAY they’ll do but never actually do and thats boycott.

Its probably a bit easier for them as their Canadian and their equivalent of the Grammys, The Juno Awards, has awarded them both several times with top honors but still, they’re taking some sort of stand

he said he used that shyt for a door stop :manny:

Pretty much. Grammy don’t mean a damn thing to someone on his level no should it mean shǐt to someone putting in work and building their core fanbase so they can tour + eat off of it with merch.

Bunch of these Grammy winners will get picked and you don’t hear much from them on that level again so aside from the award it’s right back to relative obscurity
