Jay Z and Beyoncé are now tied for the most Grammy noms in history, 88 each

Weird flex. All because Nas released an album.

He's insecure as fukk.

 

[African Peasant]

Nobody cares about Grammy Noms.

Just nepotism.

"88" huh? Where them gematria nikkas at rn?

Signs and numbers rule this world

Testament to how stale black music is...

Its like they cant fill a categorybout without having 1 of the 2

Ok.. still, 80 something noms means something lacking in black music. Something is seriously wrong

They’ve both been relevant for over 30 years. It’s actually not that crazy when you think about it. No one else from their era besides Eminem is still commercially successful. They’re going to get the votes from the older voters who came up with them every time.

80 nominations means their teams politic and put in the work with the academy, they are both very brand/product driven and it paid off in terms of objective measures of success - sales, money, awards. neither have ever felt like authentic people, but authentic dont pay the bills

Or it could be they make really popular well received music for decades and the Grammys reward them for it

Yeah I'm not sure if breh is confused by my post or what. The timing of this story (Beyonce/Jay-Z grammy noms) is too obvious. Surely I can't be the only one who sees this.
