He has a point just not sure it's the right voice saying it....plus a little bit of a case of too little too late.

Pretty much.

Just because a bunch of people like you doesnt mean you deserve the award.

"................so if your message ain't shit, fuck the records you sold

cuz if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck

it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck
..........."

I respect her talent more than Beibers to be honest. And not everybody is just a "hip-hop, pop, R&B" person. A lot of us like all types of genres and I can appreciate her music just like I can appreciate Kanye's. I am not impressed by Beiber's record sales because most of it comes from 14 year old girls...fuck do I care what they think? Why do I care what some Jr. High School bitch thinks? Why should the Academy?

However, I do agree with him on the Eminem shit. He got robbed that year. But when he lost to Norah Jones...that was fair.

Basically if the Hip-Hop and Pop cats start winning the Jazz Musicians and Rockers will start bitching. And we'll be telling them to STFU kind of like whites will read Steve's shit and be like "STFU."

But do any of you realize shorty been on albums since 2001....She aint a new artist

"So basically his argument is that sales > everything? Cuz he say that it aint his argument but it obviously is."

If that was the case,50 should have won atleast one grammy when he dropped GRODT?

Can yall imagine this cat at the grocery store? His girl wanna buy zucchini and he's like:

F*ck that, its just a cucumber that sold out. Ol, house n*gga ass fruit that shoulda been in a salad. Back when you was a seed you wasnt tryna act all hard and shit, now you got a couple white fans and now you tryna act like you aint never seen salad dressing. Jay-Z loves zucchini. F*ck I look like eating vegetables, watermelon all day around this b*tch. Only reasonable doubt I ever had was should I throw some crouton in this b*tch.

Man...you're wrong for making me laugh that hard right in the middle of work.

On topic tho, I can't believe an insider like Stoute is gonna come out and act all flabbergasted about this shit. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Dudes been living off the industry and all its pitfalls and wants to all of a sudden act like there's some code? Fuck outta here.

Esperanza Spalding should not have won the award simple because she is not a new artist. Her first album came out in 06. The Grammys have been fuckin up for years. I only watch for the performances anyway. If you are a fan of music then watching the Grammys will only leave you with disappointment.

In my opinion i think Spalding got that grammy for shock value/controversy.Thats how these shows stay relevant. How she got placed in the best new artist category is beyond me. These little award shows are never consistent anyway. How do you win best new artist without being nominated for anything else?? It's like winning rookie of the year without being in the top 10 of any statistical categories. Shrugs

he's making some good points but he picked the wrong year to make them. let's be real, musically:

arcade fire's "the suburb">>>>> eminem's "recovery". the suburbs was named in most publications top 5 albums of the year lists and has metacritic score of 87. recovery has a metacritic score of 63.

esperanza spalding>>>>> drake, justin beiber. sorry, the award is best(highest quality, highest excellence) new artist. not most culturally relevant or best selling. and the rules say an artist can be up for the best new artist award if that artist released an album that year that established them as a public figure. that's why even though justin beiber's first album came out in 2009 he was still eligible as well.

as far as the grammys using artists for ratings, it works both ways. artists use the grammys show for exposure. 27 million people watched that show, so i'm sure most artists would be more than happy to get a chance to perform to a tv audience of 27 million.

Negroes love to get butt hurt and discredit ish because their people didn't win.... now I dont think the Grammy board evaluates Hip Hop effectively but I do think most of their picks in other genres are pretty on mark... Sorry *shrugs*

I understand what he's trying to say, but let's be real Beiber isn't some great artist. He's talented no doubt, but he's making simplistic teeny bopper music. When has that ever been the type of thing that wins Album of the Year. As far as Hip Hop goes, we know there is a bias against it. Hip Hop doesn't win AotY. The only Hip Hop artists to ever win were Lauryn Hill and Outkast. Lauryn's album wasn't Hip Hop, and Outkast won mostly on the merits of The Love Below which was very light on the Hip Hop. Besides, Grammy judges don't even have a sense of what's good in Hip Hop. They go purely on record sales.
