Does anyone else think that it is unfair that Jay-Z has 14 Grammys but Nas has None?

[t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088]

the same grammy awards that just nominated 2 chainz for album of the year? The same grammy awards that Jay himself said he stopped fuckin wit ever since X didn't get nominated after having a classic? Nah.... no one in hip-hop takes the grammy serious

No. Nas doesn't run the same race as JayZ. JayZ is in the Wayne, Drake, Eminem, Ludacris race. He makes music for the sake of making money and increasing his brand.

In comparison, Nas makes music for the sake of making good music. He stays true to the art form by choice, and he knows the results of making pro-black, grown people music. He knows he's not going to sell as much as the artist who rides the "what's hot now" wave, so you can't feel sorry for him when he doesn't get the level of commercial success that the guys who are trying to get commercial success get.

Put Nas in the KRS-One, Lupe, Mos Def, Black Thought, Wu-Tang category. Not the major label, attention seeking list.

Nah man just curious...you'd think he would've won at least once by now after 20 years

 

[LUClEN]

It's not unfair. It's sad though.

Speaks volumes on this generation of hip hop fans when artistic music is valued less than the flavor of the week.

its a lot of people that deserve it. i think it has to do with timing a lot too.

I would be nice to see Nasty Nas win a Grammy since it's so revered and all.. but I don't take the Grammys serious at all..

Lollipop by Lil Wayne won a Grammy in 2009.. so no, I don't think it's unfair..

 

[almighty breeze]

why not just be mad that Nas doesnt have a grammy. That fact has absolutely nothing to do with Jay-Z. Forcing a comparison where there isnt one

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Common has won 2 Grammys and he makes music for the sake of good music & has never went platinum

But I feel like Nas may win this year, but who knows

 

[aladdin1978]

Another Jay-Z appreciation/underappreciated post...

 

[Gooner]

look at the nas groupies...emotional

Grammys are grammys. I don't even know what the fuck the criteria for nomination is, let alone how winners are picked.

Who is this? T-Pain? I'm glad I never listened to this clown's music.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Grammy's are a huge popularity contest.

Both are based on how much ass nominees and potential nominees have kissed.

Jigga wins frequently because of his lip size.

Just bringing up another great lyricist who has had over two decades in the game.....if DOA's contradicting ass can win a Grammy than any of Nas' tracks should

*Because Nas has no Grammys and probably won't win one this year*

"Man fuck the Grammys. The Grammys ain't shit, but a popularity contest"

*If Nas was to win a Grammy*

"My nigga Nas won a Grammy! That just solidified him as the greatest to ever to do it! Congrats to Nasir! We popping bottles tonight!"
