Idk. I feel bad for Kendrick, but I'm kind of over it. Not shocked. Still mad that Rap isn't recognized, even though it's almost to be expected, again.

Also, Tinashe is so fine. Damn near had a heart attack last night.

Tinashe is magnificent. What did she have going on last night?

Tinashe is beautiful and she got some nice tracks.

Saw a tweet and got me thinking.. If Kendrick did put Lady Gaga on Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe, would he have won best Rap/Sung Collaboration?
probably not

Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper

Why? The Grammys are determined by middle aged white people. There has been a long lasting bias against the genre, and you can tell many of those who vote don't respect hip hop as a genre of music. It's not surprising that white artists win whenever they're nominated - the voters identify with them more. It's the same thing you see when people complain about "all" rap being gangsta street shit they can't relate to, "except for Eminem who talks about things outside of drugs and guns."

Reminds me of white people who don't like The Wire because of its humanizing portrayal of drug dealers...yet they love Breaking Bad and The Sopranos.

I agree with all of this except The Wire. White people love the Wire. It makes us feel 37% more street. I don't know too many people who have every disliked the The Wire, in fact. Mostly internet contrarians who have to dislike everything.

And we all knew Macklemore was going to run away with the Grammy's and he's certifiably upset about. But Kendrick only getting 1 percent of the final vote is some last straw shit. The Grammy committee needs to be fucking replaced. They've always been somewhat out of touch, but to be so out of touch to basically say they don't know the biggest artist on the past 2 years is fucking insane. They might as well just handed out the awards via lottery. It probably would've been as fair.

And this is not going to be good for Macklemore either. He's always rapped and interviewed about trying to get respect. Now, it's unequivocal that he's now the white guy that won awards because the Grammy committee hates black people. Even non-scary artists like Kendrick Lamar can't get a pass from them. Shit, I like Macklemore and this makes me irrationally pissed at him. I can't imagine how much that burns the non-fans

Macklemore didn't need to apologise to Kendrick. It's some bullshit that certain personalities in hiphop are making him feel that way. If those votes are real Jay got an untouchable base at the Grammy's and he will win whenever there isn't an insane crossover album.

Hollow Da Don vs. Okwerdz

Also contains another godlike rebuttal. Lux should've known not to get at Hollow for sipping lean after when Ok tried it.

People need to stop getting so worked up about the Grammies. You should have known what was going to happen going in. Until they change their voting process it will always be like this.

I lost almost all respect I had for Jack Thriller last night. He should never be allowed to host a rap event of any consequence. Stick to interviews brah.

Might as well charge 1999 prices for it. Nobody is buying Isaiah Rashads music except the most devout TDE stanleys.

Even they won't buy it considering the "album" doesn't have TDE features (outside of a remix). You would think that they'd spend time introducing him to fans, put him on tour with someone, get him on some remixes, etc.

This reminds me of when Pill was supposedly on MMG. It was a label favor to get him some quick hype but it didn't work; he was clearly not cool with MMG, who really seem tight. Likewise you got Rashad out here bragging about not hanging with Black Hippy. Seriously breh?

TDE never really gave away free music with their artists and it's worked out for them. The artists get a little bit of money in their pocket and 90% of people still download it anyway.

Kendrick was gonna make OD an iTunes release but TDE decided to make it free then put it on iTunes eventually.
