wayne mad at the grammys again

[when_it_snow_im_on_top]

quality of music has nothing to do with winning

I think this may be more than Funeral/C5 not getting nominated and tbh I think its good to see artists speak out against the show.
There's no metric to the GRAMMYS, its just opinions. Its crazy its been looked at as a standard for excellence for so long lol.

this like how the fuck dsmoke get nominated lol literally a joke

Sales = good music to you?

That is not an argument.

to an extent yes.

[back on my bullish*t]

I’m kind of with him on that one. The Grammys are rigged as hell, and I don’t really think the music is even considered anymore. They’re more about who’s politically correct and “In” right now. And Wayne’s been in the news for backing Trump. The entertainment industry is extremely anti-trump, Wayne could probably have dropped another C3 and still would have a better chance of being invited to tea with the Queen than the Grammys.

basically beyonce runs the grammys now
jay and beyonce got too much power

tbh i dont think the grammys are "rigged" i just think they dont care about getting the hiphop categories right. Alot of hiphop awards arent even televised and havent been for a long time. Their target audience isnt HH fans.

as far as whats "in", they gave anderson paak the award for best melodic rap song over The Box, LNCL and Rockstar. If they were going for whats in, it would of been one of those 3 haha

According to the website, members are only supposed to vote on their “area of expertise”. Doesn’t look like that’s happening.
First-round ballots are sent to voting members in good dues standing. To help ensure the quality of the voting, members are directed to vote only in their areas of expertise; they may vote in up to 15 categories in the genre fields plus the four categories of the General Field (Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist.) Ballots are tabulated by the independent accounting firm of Deloitte.

In other news, they may not consider him eligible. Think using it as an ash tray qualifies as “used for other than its intended purpose”?

the thing i hate most is people swear they dont matter (ex. Saying grammys arent important because Nas doesnt have one) but then turn around and celebrate now that Nas has one. Like it still doesnt mean shit lmao.
