Hip Hop Snubbed at Grammy Awards
The 52nd annual Grammys were on last night, January 31st, 2010. During a four hour long show, most of the Rap, Hip-Hop, and R&B categories were not shown on air. They were instead given the award off camera. Some rappers chose not to attend the show because of this ridiculous gesture. While there were several performances in these categories by Beyonce, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Eminem, not allowing these artists to receive awards on the show was a huge snub to the Hip Hop culture in general. While both in attendance, neither Jay-Z nor Eminem were able to accept their awards. Jay-Z won Best Rap Solo Performance for “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)”. Eminem won Best Rap Performance By A Duo for “Crack A Bottle” featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.
Jay-Z did accept his award for Best Rap/Sung collaboration with Rihanna for “Run This Town”. Which brings up another point. Kanye West had six Grammy nominations and was nowhere to be found. Most sources are saying that he was not even invited to the Grammys. One of the main performances that people tuned in for, “Forever” by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem was obviously lacking without him. When Kanye won for Best Rap Song along with Jay-Z and Rihanna the scattered clapping that followed when they thanked Kanye was saddening. Honestly, if the government can get over Congressman Joe Wilson yelling out, “You lie!” and allow him to attend the State of the Union address, Kanye West should be allowed to attend a simple awards show.
What do you think? Were the Grammys right in not inviting Kanye? Should he have gone even if he had a choice?
I just don’t think Grammys are relevant pieces of achievement anymore.
I agree. That was made obvious to me last night unfortunately. And that applies to Hip Hop and other categories as well.
WOW! really? they’re real mature about this. they need to build a bridge and get over it, for everyone.
no rapper should be attending or performing at the Grammys until hip-hop awards are aired like every other genre of music. heavy metal got aired before we did. like Salt n Pepa said in ’89, “If they don’t want us, we don’t want them.”
who is that child thats with jay and ri?
@th!z, I like to tell people it is Rihanna and Jay-Z’s love child but apparently it is Solange’s kid. I still don’t know why he was on stage.
I agree with the above commenters. It seems like Grammys are just given to anyone now. There’s no real prestige in them really. It’s hard to watch and really value the winners anymore. Not to mention that underwhelming MJ tribute. Eh, I could care less about the Grammys, but every year I sneak a peek to see if I’ll be proved wrong.
Whether or not you like what Kanye says, he’s a huge influence on the music industry. The Grammy’s are about to be about music so he should have been there regardless.
Yes, they need to get over it. He said sorry to little Ms. Taylor Swift so let bye gones be bye gones. The Grammys last night was whack to me anyways. And I agree with the person who said they’re just giving anyone Grammys now a days… no damn talent
PEOPLE’S OPINION > GRAMMYS
HA, I wouldn’t invite his ass either. rofl
The Grammys just arent made for BLACK Culture
Thatz why we have the BET awards.
(In my Mind……………………………..)
I dont think they were wrong. I agree with most people the grammys were pretty wack. Most of the people that performed and got awards I didnt know. They should of invited GUCCI MANE. He would of made it better haha
