The Biggest Problem With The Grammys…

After the 2024 Grammy nominations were released, their biggest problem has only gotten worse as they continue to disrespect hip hop in new ways...

The Grammys have a history of pushing rap music or any “black” music to just “urban” categories hence Tyler the creator calling them out on stage years ago when he won best rap when Igor was barely that.

One problem with the Grammys is that they choose popularity over quality and it's quite sad

[sincerelyst.]

The fact super freaky girl is pop but Barbie world is considered rap is mind blowing

If Drake wins, I’m gonna jump out my window

The Grammys are so stupid. They're like a high school popularity contest, with every nominee coming back for more each year.

Grammys snubbing Nicki Minaj for over a decade now, while showering with Grammys every newcomer, gimmick, or industry plant that comes along for 5 minutes of fame, just to fail miserably and fade into irrelevance afterwards, is what makes Grammys less relevant regarding hip hop. When you imagine thay 2Pac and Nicki never got a Grammy, but Milli Vanilli and Cardi B did, all is clear as day.

Not even hip hop but i bet rock fans, electronic fans, afrobeats fans etc are saying the same thing about those genres

[nijoelgreene]

Respect to everybody else nominated but I really want Travis Scott to win.

The Grammy have always been a disrespectful to hip-hop if you’ve seen rappers and singers like Eminem, Drake, Jay-Z, The Weekend, Ariana Grande and Kanye West boycotting the show, you know how much of a joke the show is. It’s basically a popularity contest and they be snubbing so many people. I’m giving a big middle finger to this academy 🖕🏾. Screw Them. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Historically, Album of the year has always been dominated by pop music. Everyone votes in the general categories so it makes more sense that the more digestible music tends to do better. Even when another genre wins, it typically happens to be a more pop leaning record. For example, Hip-hop albums that won it had lots of singing on it like with Outkast's win and Lauryn Hill's win. Something that is straight rapping, like a Nas album, can win rap album of the year but not album of the year. Same for rock music, heavy metal artist or hard rock stuff like Metallica or Nirvana has never won it. It is usually more soft and poppier rock music like Alanis Morrisette. The only exception to this seems to be Jazz. Every once in awhile a Jazz album wins and I am not sure how they do it.

So no one talking about Scaring the hoes easily album of the year and Utopia not being nominated for album of the year is shameful

[Miserbilality]

Grammys been wrong since The Weeknd got snubbed for "After Hours" and "Blinding Lights".

[RealJoseph]

Lana and SZA’s record has been great. I know this video is about rap/hip-hop but those are the only two albums on that AOTY nomination list that are actually decent (at least to me).

If you are reading this, you are not the problem, the grammy is

[marcoselr]

There is this idea that the Grammys reward the best song-writers and producers. So, as rap and hip hop are genres that use many samples, the list of writers and producers tend to be very large. As they don’t want to reward 30 people, that’s why allegedly they prefer albums with no sampling, short writing and producing teams.

It’s really just a popularity contest. At least we can see through it

[LazyyUchiha]

I knew the Grammys was a scam when Astorworld lost to Cardi B

[Tonetone]

They didn’t even Nominate Larry June - The Great Escape for Best Rap Album Of The Year, The Grammys been a joke for years anyway

[MrRobnbig]

I really hope that metro wins ; producers deserve alot of credit for rap

[shablam]

As a target worker myself, my guy couldn’t have been more real than the Harry Styles comment😭🙌
