flabby & sick ACDC kicking it off. Lady Gaga looks like Miss Piggy. all the rap awards were given out on the preshow. spoiler alert, Interscope won.

off to a great start already.

but they should've won.

I don't think they have the mainstream exposure yet

.

Still trying to figure out how Eminem keeps winning awards...Dude is on legend status and all of that....But nah....

True...

No. Rather the person who deserves to win. Not a washed up rapper still popular because he's white. He hasn't made a good album in 10+ years.

and why do she and tom jones deserve to be on stage over ledisi?

Didnt realize she wasn't that strong of a singer.

Jessie J's dress looks like an Ikea window treatment. :(

breath control and enunciation aren't good enough for her to get a solo in a typical high school show choir.

That lil chicken strip can belt, but she usually suffers from Christina Aguleritis, yet here it seems she was coached to tne it down and reign it in and she sounded timid and mumbling words.

She needs seasoned Black vocal coaches to teach her how to rock shit. She also needs better songs

my son loved Victorious. Shit we still watch it like 3 times a day. It was always obvious that she had pipes but needed some coaching bad. Lots of over singing, unnecessary run ons, mumbling, etc.

.

P!!!!!!

I cringed with him.

WTF?

And this shitty song is all he could eke out?

and hair...

lol

I'm not well versed in the imagery but if it's allegedly popping up so consistenly, you've gotta wonder if it's deliberate.

Not oblivious.

As an official Illuminati Fan Club Retard I felt it necessary to point that out. lol at Cool James trying to say he wasn't along for the ride with that silly ass quip about going up from there. Crowd was like "nah, we going".

Pure comedy... Mythological red devil stuff, hahahaha

to get everything.

except for by critics and musicians who lurve him...

heards snippets, but have had no desire to listen to the whole thing...

...

best thing she's released by a mile.

I am a dude tho

that recording is 10X better than that performance though....

r both albums as good?

I know he is a big fan of designer Hiroki Nakamura. In that Tuxedo and glasses he looks like Buddy Holly

>In that
>Tuxedo and glasses he looks like Buddy Holly

yep

.

Ooooohhhhhhh.. lolz Pun Police lookin fa you, hahhhahaa

I see shoulder pads or maybe that's my television.

Why does she remind of my boss after a few drinks at one of our work functions when she dances?

^^^^^

I guess they ain't want a GMA flashback.

hair everything. the contrast between her and tony bennet's old style elegance is jarring.

Rihanna sounds good...*gulp*

but im banned tho.

Is the master of the 'I like this song' act that folks do when they are in the crowd at award shows. No one likes more songs more than her. Nobody.

Yep...all in ORANGE....lol

Yeah...but P saying, "Like books and black lives, albums still matter...." made up for any such disappointment....

Pretty much everyone else dug his statements that's not living in that Revolution past (not saying u do, luv...respect....)

Quest looked disgusted... or was that confused?

I gave Beck earlier...

I didn't even know he was nominated.

He deserves the win.

I swear I get an O'Dowd vibe looking at him

http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/kanye-invades-stage-again-in-beyonces-honor-watch-her-1684596796

Beyonce.....Ledisi.....

Knowing that it wasn't appropriate or made any sense for her to do so.

See the other post on it, GD front page.

Shaky ass left hand and all. Ugh.

And she didn't sound good to me. It was choppy and overdone imo.

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=12721506&mesg_id=12721506&page=

same ole same predictable mess.

they should have acknowledged this being the 30 year anniversary of "we Are the World" or something.

the fix stays on these awards no matter what.

'i took the E off my mic' - classic

Shit ain't hilarious
Dude is crazy disrespectful

WFT is Ye talkin bout?!

"I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists, to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more," he said, upset that Beck beat Beyonce in the category. "And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce."


Tale of the tape:

Beck's "Morning Phase":

All songs written and composed by Beck Hansen.

Beyonce's "Beyonce":

24 Writers
22 Producers

Here's what u got to understand about the Grammys....

The Grammy's go two directions when it comes to hip-hop...

They usually r VERY lazy when it comes to the rap categories (u crying over "Kenny"....But u really should be giving the side eye to Eminem for winning best rap album...). If an artist is the biggest name in the category they usually win....

or...

When the Grammy's get universally lambasted for a clueless pick they try to make up for they're fuck ups (Hence Lamar getting love now)...

Drake will be just find though....The Atlanta Hawks are winning now. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on their bandwagon pretty soon...

common album was pretty meh to me

oxy was ok but lost its luster real fast

same with gambino

didn't listen to iggy so I don't kno

atleast the best rapper out the nominees won

but cool deflection

especially the hawks thingy

cute

but im banned tho.

Better than Ems....WAAAAAY better...

>oxy was ok but lost its luster real fast


Didn't dig it...

It was Alright....


>didn't listen to iggy so I don't kno


It sucks....

>atleast the best rapper out the nominees won

No....Em's latest album is that real "Meh" ...


>but cool deflection


No deflection...Just trying to assist your understanding of how the Grammys work when it comes to hip-hop...U crying about Drake...But no peep about the white boy winning for a mediocre album....That says a lot...


>especially the hawks thingy
>
>cute


Your boy is the most omnipresent rapper on the charts and the radio...And your boy is also still ridiculously easy to make fun of...Like very easy...

U should be use to that by now...

I know u got ya hometown bias but be honest with yaself

neither album was great

but if u wanna say Commons album sucked less than Em I'll agree

what does this have to do with anything what so ever?

I mean I know y ur doing it

but damb bruh

try not to be so obvious

Don't try to connect Em's album with Common, homie....Common clearly had the best album out of the bunch...Whether u think it's "great" is moot...That's another debate...


>but if u wanna say Commons album sucked less than Em I'll

Nah...I'm going to say Common made a good album and keep it moving...

Yes...u r... Because u "seem" obsessed with "Kenny" getting any kind of shine, which is weird because Drake is arguably the most popular rapper doing it today...Like I said, mostly everyone else around these nets is talking about Beyonce stealing the soul from Ledisi...

Em (a legendary artist, but...) won an award he didn't deserve....But u throwing shade at "Kenny" winning? lol

But u r playing into that Drake Fan stereotype real heavy...Comically sensitive right now....Not even needed....

>Em (a legendary artist, but...) won an award he didn't
>deserve....But u throwing shade at "Kenny" winning? lol

ur literally the only person I've seen talking about Common being robbed lol

it was a off year as far as rap albums and nobody made anything head n shoulders above anyone else

and I'm not crying about Drake

im simply clownin how Kenny was the benefit of the same shyt that got Macklemore his awards

he made a safe rap song with a cheesy happy go lucky chorus

followed Macklemores blueprint to the T

and the same fans who were all on that grammys don't matter are all of a sudden counting Grammy awards to shyt on other artist lol

just pointing out the irony

Kenny the underground buck the status quo artist is now the white folks champion rappin over a track fit for a beer and/or phone commercial

and Drake doing BoomBap on a barebones track displaying his lyricism

thas all I was posting about

forgot how sensitive u r to this topic being that u can't help to rehash the same ol shyt that has nothing to do with the discussion over n over

sensitive indeed

I'm out

I didn't read everything that u typed because u r too far gone on that Drake Kool-Aid, youngin'...U sounding like that teacher in a Charlie Brown cartoon.

But I did see u try to say I was "sensitive"...lol

The only thing I'm sensitive about is black folk continually getting shitted on within a genre they created (alongside our brown brothers)whether it's jazz, rock or hip-hop....

YOU r the only one in this thread crying about "Kenny" winning and Drake losing, which is needless and missing the big point.

This is a bad look for u, Brother Sev.....Try not to give more proof that Drake fans r known to cry because they have sand in their vagina...

Dog...u better AND smarter than this....

He got that "Yeeaaah haters I tapped this ass back stage" look.. Can't remember when I saw Ye with such a big smile on his face.. lolz

That shit was not good and we know why he won. I'm just as upset as I would have been if Iggy won. Black people in power gotta fix that shit. They must do something with the voting.

They gotta vote!!

Cats gotta pay their grammy dues and vote.. it's simple..

MC Lyte ran the LA chapter for years but she is only one person.

A few folks had complete meltdowns over that and you know, enough is enough. Had to get rid of them.

All 5 boros, ATL, Houston,Philly, LA, Long Beach and Compton COMBINED. If you add New Orleans to that list, Em has the same number of Best Rap Albums

It's just another corporate cash grab. Shit is so meaningless it's laughable.

Best Believe...Kendrick will call himself...Grammy Award winning Kendrick Lamar...you're in denial otherwise...

>Best Believe...Kendrick will call himself...Grammy Award winning Kendrick Lamar...you're in denial otherwise...

-you hear "grammy award winning roots" alot.

>All 5 boros, ATL, Houston,Philly, LA, Long Beach and Compton
>COMBINED. If you add New Orleans to that list, Em has the same

^^^^^^

And yet Drake fans r giving the side eye to K. Lamar for winning two awards....

Funny, huh?

I liked Kanye a lot more when he was speaking truth to power. "Bush doesn't care about Black people.". Than crazy Kanye who shills for his talentless wife.

"Who designed these mics that you see? I took the E! off my mic. Okay, we know, it's gonna be E! already! It's gonna be E! at the bottom of the screen right here," he said, pointing into the camera. "We need to step up the taste level across the board on all networks. So you can see these outfits! Never before in your lives have we witnessed such beauty. Now we have to keep complimenting that, from the people who produce these shows, from the Grammys to E! — respect artistry, respect visuals, beauty is important! I mean, the Kardashians wouldn't be famous if beauty wasn't important! It's very, very important! The eyes, the eyes!"

He then had the afterparty special co-hosts Terrence Jenkins, Khloe Kardashian, Christina Milian and Zanna Roberts Rassi remove the E! logo from their mics. When Jenkins briefly protested, West told him, "They need you! Y'all are the personalities, E! needs y'all! The Kardashians have a percentage of E!. That's what I'm saying, they need y'all!"

: )~

Best part of the show.

i mean they given this overrated turkey a whole bunch of awards. before you know it they gonna have Eminem as nominated as much as quincy jones or stevie wonder.

i can't stand no grammys show because that crap is fixed, fake and a industry hustle which is less about winning and more about being in the mix of what they want.

i guess if Clive Davis can get a lifetime award from the NACCP then Eminem can get token awards. just a sad reality period

Just mostly a bunch of egocentric entertainers with no soul

http://variety.com/2015/music/news/kanye-shirley-manson-grammys-beck-open-letter-1201429469/

Kanye West’s antics at the Grammys didn’t exactly sit well with the Internet. Now musicians are starting to speak out against the rapper, who ridiculed Beck for winning album of the year on Sunday night instead of Beyonce. Now, Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson has posted an open letter to Kanye, who she called a “complete tw*t,” on her Facebook page.

Read the full letter below:

Dear Kanye West,

It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry.

You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK.

You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt.

In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre, including your own.

Grow up and stop throwing your toys around.

You are making yourself look like a complete twat.

Ps.I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn’t need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she’s got everything covered perfectly well on her own.
