Q-Tip "Fuck da Grammys"

[Broddie]

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

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.

The thing is there are also countless artists that don't care about it or the spectacle it brings at all. People who have actually won but have never shown up to claim it, or they accept it off the broadcast or donate it to charity.

Not every artist really gives a shit about showbiz approval and some extra coins they care more about sharing their art with the world. Generally that's not hip hop artists though. They kill for approval and validation from others.

Then there is the other side the people who sweep the grammys one year and then fade into obscurity. So nah winning a grammy isn't always really a qualifier of further longevity and greater dollars.

It would of been nice to see it nominated especially if they won an award in tribute to Phiffe. It’s not the end of the world tho. True hip hop knows what’s ill without the Grammys.

ATCQ is my one of my favorite group's BUT I need artist to go this hard for Bet and Soul Train awards as well. Looking for acceptance from these mainstream outlets is weak.

Like I said I know a guy who votes on the Grammys and fam doesn't know shit about music or contemporary music

To me. Somethin like that would help Tribe. Prolly one of the few times someone objectively judges music
