Thank you. It's not just the fans saying it was everybody. It is what it is.

Can u just stop If u think any part of that diatribe you posted above is objective then u need to look up the word in a dictionary.

Let's be real. Most of y'all don't even know what a Beck album sounds like. Y'all were ready to bandwagon Sam Smith if he would've won AOTY.

The ONLY thing you know about Morning Phase was that Beck did all the work himself. And THAT is the only argument you're making to justify his win and why his album is better? I've not heard one person mention the actual content or what makes the album better then the others, not just ST.

ATRL, never change.

it was an award for AOTY, not for the "album with the best release strategy in modern times"

Oh please, the post you referenced wasn't the first post I had made. That post was in response to someone bringing up my fave when she had nothing to do with this thread (the member I was quoting seems insecure anyway to start with)

Kanye already elaborated on how he misspoke on using the term "real artistry", so why are y'all still trying it? Get the **** over it and move on. Listen to the Ryan Seacrest interview and inform yourselves rather than rambling on about this. Beck and Kanye have spoken and are fine.

Sis, "BEYONCE" was released in 2013, and here you are in 2015 saying no one will be talking about it in a couple of months? Where's the logic?

Focus on your fave, and what acclaimed artist(s) she will run to next for the industry to take her "talent" seriously.

50 Cent never said Beck's album was better. He was referring to Kanye's rant on artistry. All 50 is saying is a person who writes and plays their entire album IS artistry. Kanye telling someone who displayed artistry on their own to give their award to someone who needed a dozen producers is backwards. He never said either album was better than the other. He's just saying don't claim what Beck is doing isn't artistry. Kanye is the one who pretty much said Beyonce's album was better. Anyway, this is a tired topic. Kanye has already cleared up what he said. Yes he was a douche, but it's the past now.

50 who? why would anyone care for his opinion? ... child bye .. he needs several seats ... he is mad Beyonce did a video album.... while his last album shipped woods...

did he lie?

Y'all can write essays but can't watch a 2 min video clip

Those arent writers or producers. Those are sound engineers, that means people who were recording his music while he was playing. Technical personels. There were 30+ people doing the same for Beyonce and that number is not including writers and producers.

Beck is the sole writer, composer and producer of his album.

And the fact that he did all the creative work alone doesnt mean his album is better, no. But he managed to create a brilliant album alone what is quite remarkable and shows his artistry very well, dont you think?

Yes, Morning Phase is not even in the top 5 of his albums, yet its still one of the best albums released last year. And that says a lot about Beck as an artist. Stop attacking him and questioning his artistry. He is effin talented and innovative. I cant care less about the Grammys, Im just happy that Beck got the recognition he deserves for once, thats all.

Maybe the fact that most of the greatest, game changing albums never won AOTY (including Becks Odelay) will make you feel better, dear Hive. You can count the legendary albums in the greatest of all time lists (like the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list) that won AOTY on the fingers of one hand. Grammys are worthless and corrupted awards decided by a bunch of people expressing their subjective opinions. Remind yourself of this when you will be all cocky while trying to shade someone using the Grammys receipts next time, k

There's nothing sad and pathetic, seeing a hasbeen begging for attention.poor 50cent. In the world of artists playing multiple instruments, and actually producing and arranging their albums without no help, Beck can't see Prince and Stevie Wonder. He's beneath them. When comes to raw natural talents on stage, Beck can't see Beyoncé.

The stigma that people who write their own music are more artistic then those artist who don't is tired and old.

Get over what? Bey has 20 Grammys and its not the Hive posting these threads. I was responding to a poster about OPINIONS on whether great singers like Whitney and Bey are more talented than song writers. I happen to believe Bey and Whitney are more talented. And I think most of the general public would agree. And when did I say Beck deserves to be attacked? Don't put words in my mouth.

Lol

Im not putting words into your mouth. Only the first sentence of my post is a response to you, stating my opinion. The rest is aimed at those Hive who are still butthurt over some stupid award, hence the PLURAL I have used, or why I have addressed the "pressed stans". Reading comprehension

And we all have witnessed how the Hive simply lost it and the overreaction and hatred many of them aimed at Beck these past couple of days is overwhelming. Just ask your friend Summertime Love how many threads he/she created, and he/she was just one of many. Some Hive still keep attacking him. Thats why I wrote that comment.

PS: I wouldnt be so sure that GP would agree with you that singers are more talented than songwriters. Just try to ask whom people respect more, if Mariah Carey or John Lennon, Enrico Caruso or Ennio Morricone, Maria Callas or Mozart etc. Maybe you will be surprised. My two cents.

Hope that this thread dies now, hated to bump it tbh, just wanted to clear the misunderstanding.

Did he lie?

Yes he did.

No, he is not.
