The Grammys Suck a D

A little late, but let me tell you what I think of the Grammys. They suck. They have for a very long time. Winning a Grammy is not like winning an Oscar. It is like the Teen Choice Award. Music awards really don't mean much, because some people would agree with them 100%.

I am not one of those people.

Let me start off by saying, why was TV on the Radio not nominated for anything? This was the album of the year. Sure, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant did a good job, but TV on the Radio did something entirely new and exciting. This should have been the year of creativity and in the tradition of Obama, hope for the future (of music.)

I loved American Boy as song of the year. It was so exciting to hear. But Coldplay wins? Why? What was so new about that song? Same shit I've heard a million times. American Boy gave me a feeling of classic soul with that true Hip-Hop vibe. Fuck Coldplay.

Best new artist goes to Adele. Why not? I liked Chasing Pavements. But why was Sara Bareilles not nominated? Why not M.I.A.? Oh...she was out in '05. What about Santogold? Why wasn't she nominated? What a bunch of shit.

Daft Punk won dance song of the year for a song that came out in 2007. Garbage. Pure garbage.

Now for the Hip-Hop. I like Lil' Wayne. I have for a long time. I remember the Hot Boyz...do you? But Carter III wasn't even his best album, much less album of the year. I don't think he should have won any of his awards. None. A Milli was okay, and yeah it gives big ups to the fans, but Roc Boys from Jay-Z and Paris, Tokyo from Lupe Fiasco were much better. They didn't have a much air play or sales as A Milli, but they were so good.

Swagga Like Us. Best rap song of the year. Straight up. Yeah, Weezy is on it, but he isn't the only one. And it destroyed Lollipop hands down.

And The Carter III may have been the best rap album nominated, but definitely not the best there was. That belongs to GZA's ProTools album. That was a perfect album, and with the GZA, you are never at a loss for truth.

Fuck the Grammys.
