[Courage Reborn]

Let's see.

Fat ladies singing, a big gay wedding, skeletal Madonna shrieking, Metallica performing with a concert pianist...

This was just a parody show, right?

It was horrible. Kendrick Lamar didn't win anything, yet Macklemore gets a bunch of awards? ridiculous.

Stephen Colbert won, so yes.

I saw JayZ get some award, and I'm thinking..

$1 tips on Xmas day from the biggest popstar in the world.

Kendrick Lamar didn't rap about gay rights. No award for you.

[draguer]

Media are losing their shit over lorde over here.

[soup]

Lorde sounds like she's imitating reggae singing.

A kid with no skin in the game, who raps about the petty nature of mainstream Hip Hop's obsession with brand names, and how it's wrong that mainstream Hip Hop is 'homophobic', and he's a WHITE SUBURBAN KID FROM SEATTLE!?

It's rap for white, left-leaning social-justice types who 'don't normally like rap'...if he had decent flows (instead of this grade-school playground level lyricism), or didn't have tracks where he hates himself because he's being forced to repress his gayness because you can't be gay and also be a hip hop artist, I could respect it, but...no.

Wanna do socially conscious rap? Here's how you do it properly:

I posted some thoughts on the awards in the forum lounge.

[Parlay44]

I think pop music is exceptionally lame to watch live. It's like trying to groove to karaoke sober.

[Aziz Nuts]

I fucking despise Macklemore. Shit is the soundtrack for white guilt.

[HeyPete]

I went to my sister's for dinner and saw some of it.
Waaaaaay too much hip hop, rap whatever you want to call it.

They never did say which one is Macklemore or the other guy. There was two of them.
Too many she beasts - Queen Latifah? Gimme a fucking break. Who wants to see that?
Beyonce? Good God, please go away.
And there was like a defensive front seven worth of other obese black women all over the place.

Madonna? Damn. She is straight nasty now.

Two good things: I now know who sings the annoying stuff you hear everywhere and the best -- that country chick in the short skirt. Wow.

[Sailor]

What do you gentlemen have against Beyonce?

[RexImperator]

Popular music today is just terrible. No way around it.

NPR did a little piece on the Grammies the other day and to me it just made it clear that even in their geriatric reunited version Led Zeppelin blows all these artists out of the water. (And yes, I know they didn't write a lot of their songs, either.)

[Drazen]

I thought it was horrible, but then I'm into EDM. Even then, I didn't think the new Daft Punk album was that good really. I need to google the performance with Stevie Wonder though.

Yeah, Macklemore sucked. I guess you can win with sucking up to political and cultural interests instead of having real, actual musical talent. I thought Queen Latifah was going to "come out" right there and upstage everyone. I can't stand Lorde either, the sound is so contrived.

Kendrick isn't my favorite MC though, granted I do believe it is ridiculous he did not win at least *one* award but, my top MC is Childish Gambino

[ChocolateCockOfZeus]

Grammy's don't like hip-hop. History shows this.

Jay-Z called his Grammy a new sippy cup for his daughter lol. Enough said.

[dads]

I knew the Grammy's were stupid when an album with the line "When I was in third grade, I thought I was gay" won "Best Hip-Hop/Rap Album". Big and Pac are rolling in their fucking graves.

[Christian McQueen]

"Big and Pac are rolling in their fucking graves."

^That perfectly sums it up.

[Screwston]

Wait that thrift shop white guy made a rap song about thinking he was gay?

Can someone post the lyrics?

Is the guy actually gay?

I'd be hard pressed to call someone that makes gay rights his life's mission, straight.

No he just uses the gay rights platform as a way to push his career forward.

[Slim Shady]

Thank God Eminem's album qualifies next year. "See if I get away with it now that I ain't as big as I was". He's still saying "fuck fags".

But a lot of the times the Grammys and Oscars are a bunch of bull. Kubrick never won an Oscar. Neither did Hitchcock.

[TheMachinist]

The Grammy's were fucking disgusting.Hollywood types and their hippie,hand holding liberal agenda are a major part of what's wrong in America.
