Still can't get over how crappy this list it![]()

You feel me. And people got the nerve to talk about what is "Grammy worthy" in Hip Hop![]()
.
That award show never understood hip hop. Luda out here winning best hip hop song for "Shake your money maker"....Eminem is the most decorated Grammy winner of all time when he's been washed since a decade...and Nas doesn't have one. They just nominate the safest, most popular artist or recognizable artist.... Regardless of quality of music. Then will throw in the popular conscious rapper at the time to add some credibility.
Gotta stop looking at that award show to validate this genre. I find it hilariously ironic that Kanye slams complex....but is always looking for validation from other outlets that know way less, or give the least fcks about Hip Hop.
Source awards gotta come back man. Wounds have been healed. It's time.
Agree with every bit of this, along with whatillphillip and @tay1 said. Come across something else which would explain why the Grammy's and other shows end up that way. It pretty much detailed the amount of black writers/journalists for all different music publications (Rolling Stone and Noisey are the only ones I can remember right now), and out of all the magazines listed (about 8 of them) there's less than 15 total blacks working there for huge companies like those. That's not the lone thing that keeps award shows in shambles like they are, but that's a major issue. Somebody mentioned they're just simply out of touch with the genre, which is ironic cause hip hop is all about being current and transcending. The majority of writers and people behind the scenes simply aren't hip hop folks. They're not in tune at all. A 7 year old could've picked those nominees they listed.
The Grammy committee isn't just writers from my understanding.
I know one dude who works in music publishing that's on the committee. Who publishes a guy with placements on Future albums.
And he's white
But I don't doubt that good representatives as a whole are lacking on that committee.
I'm late to the convo but I'll chime in very quickly:
I know a guy who works in music who is on the committee. I was complaining that Yeezus didn't even get a nomination when in my opinion it and GKMC were hands down the most creative/progressive popular music albums out at the time (in any genre.) meanwhile ******** like The Heist and MMLP2 which was undeniable trash are winning rap album of the year and ****** Iggy Azalea's culture vulture *** is getting nominated for everything.
And his response was "Honestly, I don't even really listen to rap outside of the radio. If i don't recognize any of the names I just ask my son what his favorite rap music is and vote for that."
They get all the nominated music to listen to, and committee members simply choose not to.
Or in his case he turned Yeezus off after two-three songs.
That sums up what Kanye is saying.
seeing Ye and Cudi together![]()

Old article, but cool read on Yeezus sessions.

But Kanye is essentially stealing from Deadmau5
Actually I'm pretty sure Deadmau5 has a ridiculous catalog and plays mostly his own musicBut Kanye is essentially stealing from Deadmau5

I mean technically Deadmau5 makes a good chunk of his millions of dollars of remixing and playing other people's music, a lot of times without royalties, at sold out shows. Where will it stop?
No, I know who Deadmau5 is. I'm familiar with his ridiculous catalog. I've also seen him play live. I also know he remixes other people's music.Actually I'm pretty sure Deadmau5 has a ridiculous catalog and plays mostly his own musicBut Kanye is essentially stealing from Deadmau5

This is probably you pulling from the EDM DJ stereo type
Kanye can afford some $200 plug ins brah, I'm sure his record label provides him with some means to pay for them.
Matter of fact, if he hit up Deadmau5, he might have laced it for free
