Wait a minute. Last year, weren’t mother fuckers saying that Grammys are based on “sales” and that’s why Macklemore won over Kendrick? But this year, another Black artist was robbed, one whose album has sold over TEN TIMES what the winner sold, and now it’s suddenly based on talent?
Y’all ain’t slick.
I’m laughing seeing all the Beck stans come out the woodwork like where were you when his album dropped?
"#this country bumpkin ass who the hell is he ass" LMFAOO

OMGGGGGGG NAHHHHHHH
have you seen the article where macklemore apparently got ZERO nominations by the grammy rap committee and got in for 7 nominations anyway?
Yes, my post is based off the article.
Anyone interested in reading here’s the article.
As the Associated Press reports, a source involved in the Grammy organization revealed that members of the rap committee argued that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis should be barred from the category “because of their success on mainstream radio and their appeal in the pop world.” In fact, the committee originally disqualified The Heist because it “found more fans in pop than rap”, only reversing their decision after the full Grammy committee voted in a “landslide decision” to restore the nominations.
“It’s not that they don’t think he’s a rapper,” said the anonymous source of the rap committee’s decision. “It’s just that when you’re trying to protect categories and someone has become popular, it should be judged as much. … Where does their music exist? Who are their fans?”
Damn.
LMFAOOOO
honestly the only reason i’m watching the grammys tomorrow is because of beyonce
