u gotta read in between the lines....he acknowledged that DMX was THAT GUY


that earl got snubbed. It should have been X not hova. If you know the history you'd understand how deep this is. And I'm a 914/BX cat breh we intertwined regardless. we've been underdogs and counted out forever. that shyt means so much. Especially coming from the "golden child" feel me


jay wouldn't even let the footage come out of the battle. this is a step in the right direction.

Jay & DMX were the biggest rappers in late 90’s and early 2000’s.

"We want y'all to get it right"

"Obviously it's subjective..."


If art is subjective, how do you "get it right" - and conversely, how do you know for sure they got it wrong? Also do we reward art or do we reward achievement? Traditionally the Grammys have rewarded achievement: the best selling albums constantly win these things. Or an iconic, veteran artist will auto-win based on past wins and achievements. Which this in mind, I don't see how anyone can be upset about this or take it too seriously. Especially someone like Jay who has run a label, currently runs a management company and understands the politics at play.

Jay gotta know deep inside that his music wasn’t felt the same way X’s was regardless of the sales

[Sad Bunny]

I was wondering which award he won, but this is the award Lil Wayne won last year

 

[TrifeGod]

The amount of energy we've lost in the last few years man...DOOM, X, Prodigy, Tame One, Granddaddy IU, Slay, Biz...no words man

Death comes to us all but I'd just wish they lived to see their 60s and up
