Silver Tiger Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The Grammy's really don't hold much credibility with this sort of thing. That said, this is bullsh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 sure this is wack, but i've had it with this whole hip hop is dead ish. if someone really feels that way, he should go listen to some other and music and be quiet about anything that has to do with the cultur that i still love with my whole heart.

TopDawg14 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) sure this is wack, but i've had it with this whole hip hop is dead ish. if someone really feels that way, he should go listen to some other and music and be quiet about anything that has to do with the cultur that i still love with my whole heart. I have to disagree a bit Turntable. While I dont think hip-hop is dead, I will say that true hip-hop is not getting the shine it deserves. Lupe's The Cool was one of the best ALBUMS to come out last year and it only garners 4 noms. I think that's why Silver Tiger says bull****. Lil Wayne(and this is my opinion) is pure hot garbage. I call it an insult to all albums & artists nominated for album of the year to have Wayne's album alongside those nominees. Even Ne-Yo's Year of the Gentleman shouldn't be on the Best Album list. I think what people are trying to say is the Grammys are nominating & rewarding people not so much for great music but for slick marketing, beats & hooks. It's disgusting in my opinion. Save that stuff for the AMA, MTV & BET Awards. Edited December 5, 2008 by TopDawg14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) 4 Nominations for a Hip Hop Album (that even a lot of Lupe Fiasco Fans did not like by the way) is very good. Yeah, it sucks that Wayne is so huge right now, and not someone likle Lupe.. But I really, really hate that whole Hip Hop Is Dead thing. I hate it.

Hate it or not, but that hip hop is dead on the mainstream is a fact! The Grammys are the most important awards in the music business and giving 4 nominations Lupe(most hip hop fans loved it) and someone like lil wayne, who can't even rap and is biting T-pain is ridiculous.

Turntable Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) if mainstream rap is dead, why is someone lilke Lupwe Fiasco nominated four times? lol its the grammy. like you said, the biggest music award.. a lot of people (most people actualy) dont even consider hip hop music ( dont believe me? go out ans ask some people), so we made it quite far..lol and you cant define a cultur via his mainstream artists. if you do that you didnt understand what this whole thing is about anyway.
