The Official Hip Hop Grammys 2018 Thread
- Thread starter Ziggiy
- Start date
With all due respect brother Ziggly
NO....
Ive always boycotted the Grammys..
It never respected Hip hop
Even during our Glory Golden Era during the 80s they refused to broadcast the Hip hop categories...
Cause they didnt see us as a musical genre..
FUKK THE GRAMMYS
LA Times speaks on the legacies of K.Dot and Jay-Z
Both men have sold millions of albums. Both have headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. And both made former president Barack Obama's list of his favorite songs from 2017 — an especially meaningful achievement, perhaps, for two African American artists eager to share their political views (not to mention their scorn for the guy who now holds Obama's old job).
So in a year when hip-hop might finally rule the Grammy Awards, it makes sense that Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar would be the rap kings closest to victory come Sunday night.

It's quite pathetic when you think about it. The white acceptance awards. The same award show that historically shyt on hip hop and black music in general. The same award show that rewarded Mackemore over Good Kidd MADD city. It's going to take some years for me not to side eyed the fukking Grammys.I see everybody's excited White daddy threw you'all a bone with this year's Grammy Awards. You can bet it will be #GrammiessoWhite for the next twenty years. Why the fcuk should any Black person care about the damn Grammies?

give me the award show you don't side eye?
The old school Soul Train, Essence, and even Source Awards were MUCH better representations of the culture.

@BarNone per the usual, I'll post who I think will win vs. who I want to win
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Jay-Z- 4:44
Kendikk Lamar- Damn. (who I want to win)

RECORD OF THE YEAR
Childish Gambino- Redbone

Jay-Z- 4:44 (who I want to win. Despacito was huge, but I never could understand WHY that song was as massive as it was)

I'd love to see No I.D. win Producer Of The Year but I could see Calvin Harris taking that though and Kendrick Lamar wins best Music Video.

I'm talking about now, not back then.
I forgot to give No ID his props. He been putting in work for YEEEAARRRSSS and this is his moment. Besides Kendrick winning AOTY and Gambino winning Best Urban Contemporary I REALLY wanna see NO ID take home the gold
I can't believe you got me back in here. I see it like this, I still don't know what the Grammys are. But I'll give who I want to win as well @tremont
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Jay-Z- 4:44 (I think it's obvious and I've said this time and again, when Sinatra hadn't won the Grammys fixed it. Same with many other acts. If you look at every genre, the first winner of the award from the genre is arguably the greatest act. I think from a historical perspective, Jay Z fits better to that than Kendrick. As would Nas, Ice Cube, etc. ANd the album is great. THat's my tiebreaker. And people tlak about K. Dot's last albums not winning, how about the Blueprint, The Black Album and American Gangster not being nominated at all? Same with WTT. This is the last of the 90s guys who could possibly win this, and I think it's right and it's in New York).
Kendikk Lamar- Damn. (The machine behind him is insane. Like I've never seen a slanderproof rapper before and last time he got "robbed" the Grammys awarded him the next year for "i" which didn't deserve to win anything. It's his award. That said, it's a good project)
Childish Gambino- Awaken My Love
Lorde- Melodrama
Bruno Mars- 24K Magic
RECORD OF THE YEAR
Childish Gambino- Redbone (Why was I writing in red? ANyhow, I think this is the best sone in the category and would like Gambino to win)
Jay-Z- The Story Of OJ
Kendrick Lamar- Humble
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Beiber- Despacito (First spanish-language song here + beiber = win)
Bruno Mars- 24K Magic
SONG OF THE YEAR
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Beiber- Despacito
Jay-Z- 4:44 (who I want to win. Despacito was huge, but I never could understand WHY that song was as massive as it was) (agreed)

Julia Michaels- Issues
BEST NEW ARTIST

Khalid
Alyssa Cara
SZA (who I want to win. Admittedly I've seen better years than this one)

RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Jay-Z- 4:44 (I want Hov to win, but I don't see it)

I just listened to Despacito for the first time ever and I honestly dont understand what the fuss is about.
