You happy now nigga, some of the biggest selling artist ever who never even as much sniffed a Grammy. It's clearly not a popularity contest and it's not some exception to the rules nonsense.

I apologized

 

[rip.dilla]

They still get it awfully wrong with HipHop music though . .

I wonder how some old White middle aged crackas can vote on HipHop music awards

 

[PK_TK_187]

so you have to be a young black male to judge hip hop?

(cant believe Queen has not Grammy)

 

[BarryHalls]

-CBS had to edit in an "Applause Track" when they announced Chris Browns nomination due to lack of audience participation

Music created by Blacks and with African DNA all over its origins

Hollywood ain't gonna stop going after Chris Brown until he dies. Meanwhile Sean Penn a notorious wife beater walks around respected

 

[CJ]

Nas should've won at least one this year & plenty more for bis career I agree but c'mon this caping gotta stop niggas...it's disgusting.

If Nas had 21 or 17 Grammys like Jay & Kanye you niggas would be saying the Grammys ARE legit.

 

[CJ]

His**

 

[Davis eyebrow]

Lmaoo @ Lamar winning the best new artist. Nigga puhlease

thats racist.

i see why you pro black racist hate the grammy awards now

 

[rip.dilla]

NaS winning an award doesn't mean shit to me either . .

The Blueprint III an album derided by even die-hard Jigga fans wins six Grammys - FAIL

Eminem winning awards almost every time he drops an album (White Supremacy) - FAIL

KanYe West winning the most awards in HipHop with his poor lyrical abilities - FAIL

Drake winning 'Rap Album Of The Year' for an album he sings on nearly 65% of the album - FAIL

And finally, the fact independent

HipHop acts have hardly ever or never won awards like Indie rock bands do all the time - FAIL

I'd like to see a UGK, Scarface, Ras Kass or Quik pick up a Grammy then we talking . .

Yep...that's why receiving accolades from white institutions shouldn't matter to us. We know whose the best within this thing or ours.

 

[PK_TK_187]

Just cuz "die hard" Jay Z fans "didnt like" BP3 dont mean it didnt deserve the Grammies it got.

Just cuz em keeps winning dont have anything to do with white supremacy. Thats just plain racist

Just cuz Kanye won multiple times and you dont like his "lyrical anility" dont make it a fail.

Just cuz you feel an album isnt a rap album doesnt make you right.

niggas just hating on winners in this thread.

what yall losers got against winners?

 

[ShencotheMC]

SMH@ cats trynna discredit Will. Sorry but Men in Black was damn near a movement when that shit dropped. FOH

 

[usmarin3]

LOL at white institutions, like black folks don't make up the Grammy boards. Plus when Thriller and other great albums by black artist was cleaning up the Grammy's i didn't hear none of this white shit

 

[DarthRozay]

If that's the case then the entire grammy board might as well be black since damn near all music has black roots

 

[twatgetta]

the Grammy's is 100% sales driven. Nas just ain't doing the numbers that other nominees are gettin' although his fanbase is hardcore Hip Hop fans. but that's not saying much when you consider how many niggaz in the hood try to get shit free without paying for it. So if Nas never wins it's because of his broke ass support base.

 

[PK_TK_187]

damn....

niggas blaming sales, fans, white people...

maybe Nas just dont have what it takes to get a grammy.
