Official 2024 Hip Hop Grammys Thread

The thing that bothers me is this erasure as if black artists have never won AOTY, and Beyonce is some punished figure taking arrows for black people everywhere. In reality Stevie won the award multiple times, when that shyt was way more racist than it can possibly be today. Jon Batiste won it two years ago. This just reeks of elitism where if Beyonce can't have it, nobody else's wins matter.

Only three black women have ever won AOTY. THREE. And no black woman in TWENTY FIVE YEARS.

Beyonce, whether you like her or not, is THE premiere black female artist of the last two decades, her not winning AOTY should absolutely be called out as loudly as possible
