deli's list got me considering L of the Year to hip-hop's Ferguson Response instead of Azealia Banks too

Nah, I mean I wasn't really expecting too many artists to go right into the booth right after it's happened. We've steadily gotten some responses from the Ferguson issue with music and outside of the music since it happened. I do expect to hear some commentary about it in some upcoming albums. Kanye's and Kendrick's at least.

Spoiler

Personally feel the outro to the Untitled track Kendrick played on Colbert stemmed from the current issues.

There have been a lot of artists protesting too, not just for the Ferguson case but Eric Garner as well.

We got:

J. Cole's Be Free
The Game ft Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Diddy, Fabolous, Wale, DJ Khaled - Don't Shoot
Jay Z meeting with the governor to speak of police brutality
Nas/Q-Tip/Mackelmore/Cole/Russell Simmons/Talib protesting in the streets
Killer Mike on CNN
Tweets from various artists talking about it

Just because it's subtle, doesn't mean it's not happening. So I wouldn't really count that as an L.


Unless you're giving it to Young Thug for his opinion on the matter.

I just need to figure out whether to give Producer of the Year to Mustard or Mike WiLL.

What about Metro Boomin? Put in a lot of work in 2014.

Personally I'd have to give it to the whole Team Sesh crew.

Oh that's right. Forgot about that Game song too, which is really good.

I'm unfamiliar with most of his work outside of a few Thug and Future songs, TBH. What has he done this year that's notable?

wrong thread

 

[WanderingWind]

So, is Bronson's career just never actually taking off? I see a lot of people loved Easy Rider in the end of the year thread, but there is no release date for his album and it's like, 3 months old? Is he managed by Baby?

He keeps saying it'll be out "very soon" and recently announced the tracklist. Hopefully by the end of this month/early next month?

Drake will be fine.

Kendrick is shook AF right now.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Depends on what Macklemore sings about. If Macklemore makes a song about Civil Rights he'll break the internet. It'll be new territory in hiphop, and people will praise him as the first artist to tackle the issue AND he's white. Then they'll look at drake rapping/crying/cooing about the same girl from 2003 and easily give Macklemore that Grammy.

Macklemore da gawd!

The same 50-65yo white people who gave him the award will do it again. Let's be real. Kendrick was never going to win - if Macklemore wasn't nominated Jay would have won, you can bet on it. They don't give a fuck, the award goes to whoever the committee is familiar with.

Yep. The whole time I thought it was a group of experts discussing the music together on some round table shit.
