THE GRAMMY AWARDS THREAD (Does NaS FINALLY take one HOME???)

[twatgetta]

Nas may not got a grammy, but he damn sure got Kelly Rowland.. she on the side boo'ed up with him. He lookin like its no biggie.

NIgga looks hurt and dissapointed to me, like "Damn, I ain't gone never win shit, fuck this hot pussy next to me, I want a grammy, booo hoo hooo"....

 

[usmarin3]

When you think about it, Nas is the Kelly Rowland of rappers, they live in someone greater shadow

 

[twatgetta]

I got my answer. damn...oooowweeee

 

[ohhhla]

Prior to the Grammy's = this is Nas year

After the Grammy's = Grammy's don't mean shit

I have never said this.

I been said grammies are bullshit

I wasn't talking to you specifically!

 

[ohhhla]

But you got admit that the grammies are a popularity contest

No it's not, there have been plenty of times when lesser known artist and albums defeated more popular albums and artist. Take in for instance Esperanza Spalding defeating Justin Beiber for best new artist. Shit, Britney Spears has never won a Grammy in her life either.

fans only dislike awards shows when someone they like cant win one.

Justin bieber didn't even get nominated at this year Grammys and he is one of the most popular artist out right now.

 

[poindexter2]

contrary to popular belief the grammy's have the least politics involved. people dont realize how many state county and city chapters the grammy academy is made up of.

So, only two examples disprove what I've said?

Like who cares if one or two artists beats a popular artists.

As a collective it is a popularity contest, point blank period.

 

[ohhhla]

Jay Z is the G.O.A.T. for the last time.

Shut that logical fallacy shit up.

 

[Mister B.]

C'mon, son. EVERYONE knows that the Grammys in Rap have been a sham, going all the way back to...

winning a fucking Grammy for "Men In Black" over

for "Hypnotize". ('97 if you need to look it up)

So, you know the Shammies BEEN some bullshit. And anyone with any real sense wouldn't even got mad at the fuckery that was about to happen, because the when business meets music, you know it's no longer to be trusted anyway.

So, like I said earlier....

*turns up "A Queens Story"*

Relax. Nas got his nods. The album is stellar. We know it. That's all that needs to be said.

 

[PK_TK_187]

niggas still butthurt over the Grammy awards?

Maybe Nas will win one next time

 

[ohhhla]

What are you too dumb to read what I've said?

Grammies have no merit on how good a rap artist is.

Fuck outta with that shit.

Jay-Z is the G.O.A.T. because of his body of work, not because of grammies.

Seeing how "My Name Is" won a award really proves that.

Nigga you expect me to list off every example. lol

 

[ohhhla]

No I don't.

You named 2 popular artists who didn-t get a grammy.

When I said it is a popularity contest.

Your mind and eyes read it as "All popular artists get grammies."

No, it doesn't work that way. There is always exceptions.

My Name Is won a grammy because it deserved one.

Damn. Queen has never one won either? Haven't they sold like 60 million records total? Wasn't Jimi unanimously voted greatest guitarist of ALL TIME?

The Who, too?

Yeah. The Shammys been fucked up.
