Q-Tip "Fuck da Grammys"

[Matike85]

BET Hip Hop Awards is the only Awards that should matter to ATCQ legacy... Q-Tip is Trippin...#FakeRage

That shyt is just as trash as the Grammys

Exactly

 

[blackrain]

He's right. Goes to show you how out of touch they are and shits just a popularity contest.

This shit happens every year...why are people constantly shocked?

 

[blackrain]

I haven't watched the Grammys since the mid 90s. I'm surprised people still prop up that hype show.

Because as much as people pretend not to care those awards mean alot

 

[BobOblah]

Every album that was nominated was better than ATCQ except Culture. Who does he suggests should be dropped to add them. I even think Rick Ross album was better

Bring back the nosign button

 

[DarthRozay]

at this point in your career, why worry about it?

What he needs to do his stop bullshittin and drop that Last Zulu album and nevermind worrying about the grammys

 

[dalyricalbandit]

I understand him but at the same time a majority of the time it's these same rappers saying fuck the Grammys they don't define our music/good music but get mad when they shit ain't nominated

 

[playmaker88]

And artist wants recognition for the work they put in when niggas are thoughtlessly throwing paint at the wall while you are creating a masterpiece I can see how that can irk you

 

[OGDirtyDee]

I can't get behind this type of behavior man. Not for this reason. For a number of reasons. One being that if they were at least nominated he wouldn't be shouting fuck the award show. I ain't mad at homes for caring. Because he got that right. Plus if he thinks he album is greet and THE FANS think the album is great, what you really mad about? I'm not sure if Low End or Marauders was ever nominated, but if they weren't then this should be no surprise

Two. Like I said in another thread...the album just ain't that good. Cool album for nostalgia sake.

yeah straight sucka shit is all I heard during this childish rant....u mad because your bow out album didn't get a grand stage exit?? fuck out here with this emotional shit and I like Qtip.

 

[playmaker88]

He can't be emotional out a career, album group arftform he dedicated himself to,?? I didn't watch by the way what is one "allowed" to be emotional about if being passionate bout one life work doesn't warrant it

 

[miami cane]

Q Tip in his feelings

 

[DarthRozay]

funny how people dissed ye for wilin at the grammys looooong ago, but support every other artist who says something about the grammys

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

i fucks with tribe heavy. Low End and Midnight Marauders are 2 of my favorite albums of all time. But tip is throwing a toddler temper tantrum. He thought shucking and jiving for the grammys last year by performing would get him a nomination this year. Appeasing the grammys and expecting a free nomination by doing so is the wrong mindset. And getting mad on camera throwing a hissy fit only gives more power to the award and people that run the process.

This album emotionally means a lot to me because of the passing of phife. But the content while dope and nostalgic is not even close to prime tribe. Matter fact my favorite song from the last album is Mobius which doesn't even have any tribe members on it lol. Busta and cons killed that shit.

 

[anduin]

I get why he feels the way he does but there's some weird choices overall for the Rap section of the grammy's. They really don't tend to get it right unless the album ends up being commercially successful and great at the same. The other sections of music are the same.

 

[So ILL]

I used to trip on all of that shit until I realized that award shows were driven by sales and shit. Ain't watched an award show since, unless it was to see someone that I mess with get a lifetime achievement award and see the tribute to their career. Other than that, fuck a Grammy, Emmy, Academy Award, etc.

 

[bdbdbd]

Man I hardly listen to that album after the first few spins. Don't really like it to be honest.

Is there a reason the album should be nominated (I cant watch the vid right now)

 

[rip.dilla]

I was bumpin the album on a daily basis when it dropped

I'm an 80s baby

 

[Roster Player #99]

You're not.

 

[natural born sinners]

He's right. Goes to show you how out of touch they are and shits just a popularity contest.

All awards shows are a popularity contest. Why you think Eminem badically won every grammy he was nominated for

Someone already mentioned how financially beneficial it can be for an artist to win a Grammy. Money aside, the grammys is the music industry Mt. Olympus to artist. EVERYBODY wants a Grammy, it's that final stamp of approval. Artist of a certain caliber don't give a fuck about the BET or MTV awards.

I bet Tribe gets a lifetime achievement award next year
