I've never seen the industry turn their back on a star like Drake. It's scary. Taylor Swift and Dre have Kendrick's back.

Wild, but Drake can overcome this.

Overall, Drake will be fine. He'll still sell and he has loyal fans. They're damn near in denial at what happen lol.

But his respect among the industry is gone. Dude don't write his raps, he's a tattletale, and an overall bytch ass nikka. But business is business.

No one really has a vendetta against Drake except Kenny. The boy did some fukk shyt on a grand scale, people want a chance to respond to that. All he has to do is gracefully accept defeat and show some humility, make music that doesn't pacify em. It's really not that serious. + people trying to forget how ruthless dude was behaving a year ago. He wanted Kenny dead in the eyes of the public and would've been doing the same shyt had he won.

Was that Beyonce country album really that good?

Honestly, its the best body of work out of all the nominees, even if the music itself wasn't for me.. I only liked the singles. The production list for the album is insane. & Alot of work went into each song and she stepped out lyrically. The only other artist on the list to do that was Andre 3k but his shyt was way too left. An understandable win unlike some years.

It's crazy.

So much uncertainty in 2025. All I know that discipline will get us through it all. Not just Drake, everyone in 2025.

No. He cannot

I know Ye is pissed after all of those years of getting snubbed for record and song of the year in his prime

Besides Kendrick, Kanye had the best argument of any rapper of being snubbed in the general field. No WAY he shouldn’t have won AOTY and SOTY for Graduation and Stronger.

And the fact MBDTF wasn’t even nominated for AOTY is a DISGRACE to music.

fk it since The Thief Next To Jesus wasnt even nominated, Common/Pete Rock shouldve won RAOTY

Stevie>>MJ & Prince

Stevie is the superior writer
Michael is the superior performer
Prince is the superior artist

All of them were elite at all three. I even say Stevie was an elite performer for a blind person because when he was younger he’d sing AND dance AND play harmonica. The only “slight” against Michael is that he didn’t play instruments whereas both Prince and Stevie could but Michael had his brothers as the instrumentalists from a young age so I don’t hold that against him and Michael was impressive because he could compose and arrange music in his head and dictate to the producers how he wanted it to sound. He arranged songs like Bille Jean and The Way You Make Me Feel pretty much himself.

Fun fact- Michael almost fired Quincy from producing the rest of Thriller after Quincy refused to give Michael co-producer credit on Billie Jean. Michael felt that Quincy’s arrangements weren’t spectacularly different from Michael’s original compositional ideas and was PISSED that Quincy wanted sole production credit. They almost fell out over it.
