Your name is Jupiter Jazz, I expected better from You
Hoodoo Child
The Urban Legend
Ol’Otis
The Picasso of the Ghetto
We need the talent firstBlack Music Honors
Soul Train Music Awards
NAACP Image Awards
Urban One Honors
We already have our own Oscars & Grammys, but the ice just ain't "cold" enough@Ol’Otis
A Sza song is still #1 on the r&b/hip hop charts
This has been by far the weakest era in black music history
I still check out the soul train awards even though its declined in quality

Rhythm Nation wasn't even nominated for AOTY.
Only album ever with three #1 singles across three consecutive years '89 '90 '91. Seven top 5 singles. The seminal New Jack Swing album - a genre Janet defined and popularized.
Album kicked off the 90's and aged a whole lot better than the albums that did get nominated.

This is bullshyt though. It's talent it's just people want a definition of talent that is static. Which flies in the face of the definition of music and damn near any art in existence.
A lot of this is hating on the youth just to hate on them, too.
They aren't Marvin Gay talented but it still takes talent to do this shyt. Saying they lack talent is wild to me.
But folks don't wanna hear it and if you rightly point out that it's offhand crab in a barrel bs expect folks to get mad as hell. Never fails.

Wtf you yelling for?
Never heard a mariah Carey album I liked. Id say Janet,Aaliyah,Brandy and Alicia Keys should all have one before her. Plus they all pass the popularity requirement.
Jayz aint slick with what hes doing. Acting like he doesnt know its artist who make hot singles but not great albums. Your wife is one of those champ,help her out in the studio if you can
Any albums that dont use real instruments dont honestly deserve a Grammy for album of the year. And alot of these albums are 80% of that. R kelly definitely deserved one,I dont listen to Prince like that. But I really just dont get it with his music i guess.

Fukk them award shows. As shown in many other examples people here have provided going back and looking at the past Grammy award winners and you're just like, "Wait, Who, Wha, GTFOH!!!" I use to only watch the Billboard awards, as its winners were based on chart performance. Even though record companies used payola to put an artist on the radio, listeners still had to request it to get it replayed. With Billboard using Youtube video plays today, I don't even watch that show either. When I want to see what was popping in a certain era, I just look at the Billboard Hot 100 for any given year.
I went and looked at the 1993 Billboard Hot 100 and felt right at home with the top 25 picks. No. 1 was obvious, but No. 2 had my wife and I laughing. Back then Black folks owned the charts with the music we listened to.

Neither of see you mentioned had a prime or did the numbers Mariah did so I'll have to respectfully disagree with you saying that deserve one before her. Mariahs was a pop star but I respect her because she never forgot her roots of R&B and always gave us classic pop hits (Emotions, Always Be My Baby) and classic R&B hits (My All, Don't Forget About Us, etc)
As far as the Grammys go, I'm just not sure what they measure to cast votes. Mariahs peak years in the early 90s was crazy. She's 2nd all time with number 1 hits behind the Beatles and the Beatles have one Album of the Year Win. It makes no sense

Unbelievable the chokehold black artist had on the charts back then. Nowadays it's all pop infested garbage with the occasional good song here and there. The contrast is shocking.
If it’s storytelling and conceptual album
SZA’s Crtl, and SOS
Should’ve won Album of the year
Space Cowboy

Kurt Cobain killed himself. The biggest rock band died overnight.
Grunge died.
Rock had no path forward and no real leader. Radiohead paved that way forward with OK Computer. They did even further with Kid A by mixing rock with electronic music. After OKC a gang of Radiohead like bands came out from Muse to Coldplay. Their sound is wholly unique.
Radiohead's unique blend of heavy (grunge) and the cold sounding electronic made an extremely innovative sound. OK Computer, and after that, Kid A completely changed how rock could sound or be perceived. I posted Crawling Up The Walls for a reason. shyt sounds like an industrial electronic song.
No one was making rock that sounded like that in 97. Listen to Foo Fighters Colour and the Shape for a comparison which came out the same year or Blur's self title. OK computer sounds utterly and completely different from every rock album at that point. The only thing I can think of that sounds comparable is David Bowie's Low Side B and even that was more electronic and less rock.
What's crazy about OKC is how it pretty much predicted the future and how hard they nailed it which makes it even more topical and resonant than ever.

Over 20 years after its release, Radiohead's "OK Computer" sounds like a coded message from the future.

Listen to what rock sounded like at the beginning of the decade.
Heavy. Uncompromising. Loud.
Then listen to OK Computer.
Night and fukking day.
