The ''Racists'' Grammy Complaints I see people are still going hard on The Grammy Awards. Because of Kendrick not winning any of the nigths awards and some others. People were going crazy calling grammy awards racists and yada yada. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All I can add is that the Grammy people have prejudices against disabled people. No disabled artist has won a Grammy this year! Fucking bastards! | |

And they want to say every year a white artist is nominated... for hip-hop album of the year... they always win. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

The hip-hop of the year award has been a thing since 1996. 4 years straight it was won by African American artists. Then Em won it 2 years in a row. Then Outkast, Then Em, Then outkast, Then Em again. After that it was yeezy, yeezy, Luda, Yeezy, and Wayne. 5 Straight years where no white artists (Included Em) won the Hip-Hop album of the year award.

It's like the complaint about the Billboard Hot 100 having no leading black artist having a number-one song. It's politics. People who know better know it's just politics, that's all it is. Much ado about nothing. | |

It is... but i want peopel to debate me cause i see a lot of people on here telling how racists the grammy awards are. And how hip-hop and r&B is not respected and a ''white guy always wins'' Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Kanye was nominated for 10 grammy awards one year. That was more than any other artist that year! he may not have won song or record of the year. But, he was nomianted outside hip-hop and rap awards. So was Lauryn! and Outkast... and Jay-Z. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Damn... nobody wants to chime in? i work in the entertainment industry as a sound designer. Between their, the org, and my facebook. For weeks i have been fucking hearing ''racists grammys'' and hip-hop is the red headed step child of the grammys.
All people gotta do is look at Grammy history. Hip-Hop artists have one dozens and dozens of awards. And a lot of African Americans have won dozens of awards in that category. African Americans have also won rock awards, country awards, jazz awards, blues awards etc. So it's not just the so called ''black'' music categories they have won in.

One thing I'll always bitch about concerning the Grammy is the voters & voting process.. I can't believe in the last 3 years they choose shitty music to win & nominate... But racism? That never happened, as you said Gun, MJ collecting record-breaking 8 grammys in 84, Stevie, Kanye, these are black people who won several times.. so racism isn't the problem, sexism either.. Some of us just want to blame it on those things to be satisfied & feel better. The only reason why your favorite loses it's because he didn't get as much as vote the winner got, I still have another say in that now that lately a Grammy comitte member said that the voting process is led by people who decide the winners based on something other than quality & talent, and that something changes every year.. It was the global success of '21' in 2011, and the comeback of Daft Punk this year, regarding the better album between the nominees, the winner is always an album & artist who ruled the year at some point.. It pisses me off how the Grammys anyway lost their crediblity a long time ago, look at the Oscars, people in film dream during their whole career to win an oscar and hell when they do they only win 1 oscar.. also, academy award nominations are actually good & well-deserved, while Grammys nominate Katy Perry for Song of The Year for "Roar".. ignoring a lot of memorable songs.. | |

Thank you shawy! finally some with a good answer to me the grammys are a very mixed bag. Sometimes they can go for what's popular... and sometimes they will suprise. Like when Herbie Hancock won, or Robert Plant & Alison Kraus (TRUST ME no one saw that coming ) [Edited 2/11/14 12:06pm] Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

For what? If he has racked up 21 Grammy Awards in his relatively short career, he needs to sit his silly ass down and shut the fuck up! "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

yeah bout that, Kanye is such a douche bag for dissing artists cuz they won awards over him, he has all the awards in the world!
Funny thing is I was listening to "Hot Thang" by Prince when I was writing this, "Hot thang, barely 21!" me imagining Kanye singing to his Grammys [Edited 2/11/14 12:41pm] | |

Kanye should be the last one to complain. Almost every other year since 2005, he's been nominated for a Grammy and more than likely has won. Like lezama said, people just need to find shit to complain about. This board is psuedo social justice warrior bullshit at times. | |

I think it's that the lack of black artists who won or were nominated this year was just more apparent because like your posts said black artists have constantly won grammys throughout the years. But I don't think it's a big deal because the grammys is just a popularity contest anyway and not really about whose music is better, and it's why other genres get shunned. | |

IT IS NO SECRECT THAT THE GRAMMY COMMITIEE IS NOT A BIG FAN OF BLACK MUSIC. THIS GOES WAY BACK TO WHEN RAY CHARLES WAS HOT. NONE OF THE HOT BLACK ARTIST OF THE DAY WON GRAMMYS WAY BACK WHEN. CHECK OUT JAMES BROWN, SLY STONE, ANY OF THE MOTOWN ARTIST, STAX, ARTIST, PHILLY, INTERNATIONAL. AL GREEN, BARRY WHITE, THE LIST IS TOO LONG. THE CURRENT PEOPLE THAT U ARE MENTION IS JUST TO CORRECT WHAT THEY MESS UP IN THE PAST. | |

Err that as years ago. And in the days of Sly Stone and Al Green. Quincy Jones and Stevie were eating the grammys alive. How do you explain that? maybe they just prefered Stevie and Quincy.

Y'all killing me poltiical correctness? jeebus y'all are delusional. What if the album was just fucking? did the 3 albums Stevie won for not deserve it? did all the awards Quincy get, were they not deserved? was Lauryn Hill not deserved? Whitney Houston? Michael Jackson? Outkast? poltical correctness my fucking ass. The grammys have been around since 1959. African American artists have been nominated for album of the year since that year. Stevie dominated the entire 70's year with his grammys wins! Or Michael Jackson or janet... since y'all like to talk about their awards so much Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

OK heres a little FACT for people
Kanye West 21 Grammy Wins Beyonce 17 Grammy Wins Jay Z 17 Grammy Wins
The Beatles 14 Grammy Wins (almost have for the Beatles Anthology Series) two decades after they broke up and one member was dead.
Now if it is the "black" artist that isnt "LIKED" by people I agree, I also agree that Lenny Kravitz and Bruce Springsteen should be nominated for a ROCK grammy everytime they shit, (and Clapton too) but deal with it, they dont matter remember.....
