Swingandalongonetoleft Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I did not see one of these lying around, and since music is the essence of life, here it is. I'm not aware of anything being unleashed in '14 that would make me want to cross dates off on a calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 My god, the amount of racism towards Macklemore and Ryan Lewis right now because they won a few rap categories last night at the Grammy's is ridiculous. So many ignorant people who want to keep music segregated. I guess I missed the large uproar last night on Twitter with Darius Rucker won a country music award, huh?

Soxbadger Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think the Grammys were probably right about Daft Punk being #1. The only album arguably better is Yeezus. They should probably stop doing Rap awards, I guess originally Macklemore wasnt even going to be considered rap, and was going to be pop. Even the Jay Z selection is nonsense. I think that Yeezus really is underrated. Its basically Random Access Memories getting hit with a sledge hammer. Its just so remarkably complex. In other news Google Play has some great albums for $1.99 today. Vol 2 Hard Knock Life, College Drop Out, etc. Not sure how much they are charging for Stankonia because I already bought it.

He should have been honored that he was even nominated. But winning all of those awards? Lame. I didn't hear a better CD nomination than his The Heist. The Heist is a fantastic rap album. Him winning best song for Thift Shop was simply based on the popularity of the song. It's a good, but not great song, but my god was it huge in 2013. The performance thing I really have no opinion on because I have no idea what performance they are even judging. Do they say? (I didn't see the awards show). But him winning the best album is completely justified. Every single year someone will complain about who wins a ton of awards, but it just sucks that people are bringing race in to it this time. Either saying he only won because he is white, or saying he should never win because he is white. Even people trying to say he isn't even a rapper, he is a pop artist, which is another way of saying he looks too white to be a rapper.

He had to. He is going to have to apologize for every rap award he wins. He is in a lose-lose situation every time he is nominated. It's the same reason that when he won at the last awards show (VMAs maybe?), his entire acceptance video was about "the injustices surrounding Trayvon Martin". He has to win back the rap community every time he pisses them off by winning something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, not so much. Eminem pretty much has a pass because of where he grew up. Mac Miller is kind of in between because he tries to look the part of a gangster and a rapper, but he doesn't have the background that Em has, so it's really kind of a grey area for Mac.

Soxbadger Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It has nothing to do with race. He just has 0 credibility as a rapper. It would be like the Black Eyed Peas winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) It's the Grammys. Have you seen the list of people that have won over the years? Milli Vanilli won a damn award. Jethro Tull won best metal album one year. Edited January 27, 2014 by GoSox05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first came out, he was attacked as another "Vanilla Ice" or "Snow". The reason he gets respect is because hes a proven battle rapper was basically Dr Dres attack dog for a good 5 years. Even worse, people blamed him for Snoop/Dre allegedly not being friends. That of course all changed when 2001 dropped and Eminem killed Dre on his own s*** "Whats the Difference." I can still remember the day I heard that album, which hilariously lost to "The Marshall Mathers LP" for the Grammy. I doubt even Eminem thinks his album is better than 2001.

When you're brought up by Dre I don't think anyone in the rap community is going to complain. BTW, where was the "fauxrage" over Beyonce acting like a stripper with a thong on? I mean, I get it, Miley Cyrus is too in your face about stuff, but I really didn't see much difference in the two performances. Both were overly sexual and nearly inappropriate (get off my lawn!) for an awards show. Everyone praised Beyonce (and Jay-Z to the point of nausea), but people were all over Miley Cyrus. Wonder why. I've seen a couple stories on it. But not the mass media circus like before. Also, Willie Nelson needs to hang it up. Madonna too. Both were beyond terrible.

Soxbadger Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Eh Willie Nelson (and Christopherson) was just sad. But I love Highwayman and thats probably the last time it will ever be played, so sometimes you tip your cap to a legend.
