Some of y'all are such a joke. Nobody cares about beck, nobody ran out an bought a beck album, but to sit here and act like the man is some talentless loser who just won because they didn't want to give it to a black person is such a ****ing joke.

And i'm black so miss me with your stanning wrapped up in your racism excuse.

That wasn't necessary
But he's Hive so it's understandable.
Anyway a shame Bey didn't win, but if she had to lose at least she lost to a deserving contender
The 16+ year old drought for black female musicians will still be going strong I see

Black people are sore losers.
Good thing Beyonce acts white sometimes, which why is why she is so universally loved -, looks like a light skin black girl with white manners. Now if she only worked on her personality and started talking like Taylor Swift has, then maybe she will be taken just as serious like Swift is at every award show!

Do not. Knowing damn well you didn't know who a beck was before tonight.

Lol who says I have to revere that old white man that has never impacted my life?
I owe him 0.
This is just a reflection of the bigger issue at hand. Institutions continuing to prop up their golden boys and refusing to acknowledge black artists of the same stature.

[tell_me_a_lie]

Beck deserved it.

Also your other post about how long it took to create Beyonce and film the videos is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is music in its final form.

This is what I say about Iggy... people were saying "she can't freestyle", "people write her songs for her".

If that's true, so what?! The Grammy was for best rap album, not best freestyle or best songwriter and knowing that doesn't make The New Classic any less enjoyable.

People also criticize her for being a white Australian girl... they say her rap isn't genuine... last time I checked, neither were 99% of the artists rapping about crime and murder they're mostly rich softies.

And y'all are gonna stop making Beyonce look like some poor kitten. Unlike Kanye, you NEVER hear of her complaining about winning her R&B awards. For all we know, she could just be appreciative to add another award to her shelf, regardless of the specific category. Everyone can't win Album of the Year, Record of the Year, or Song of the Year. She won one of the three, and that's more than most artists (black or white) can say.

This is Kanye's issue, not Beyonce's

[Aciid]

I understand the race issue, but it's not like they rewarded The New Classic. The man is talented and had much more input in his album than Beyonce.

FUMES every damn where. Lemme take precaution.

Kanye is the most pathetic human being on earth. Why are you caping for a person who could care less about you? She never acknowledges you these days and don't even tell me about your wife. There are other talented artists than Beyonce, deal with it. I think he is in love with beyonce and that he is mentally ill.

Exactly! once again Kanye uses Bey to be the center of attention.

I proved what I had to say. If people have any serious responses to this that don't
1) Discredit Kanye (because i see some of you who kissed his ass the past couple of weeks for 45S and his other song suddenly change that tone)
2) Kiss Beck's ass (no way everyone in here is suddenly a Beck stan when none of you made any threads for him prior to today)
3) Act like the Grammy committee is sane and fair (the tea has been clocked for YEARS now so tonight is just more icing on the cake)

then I'll gladly respond in a civil and prompt manner on my wall or pms. Otherwise, I can't be bothered. Ignorance is bliss I've heard.

You obviously haven't bothered to read half of the responses. Nobody is saying we're Beck stans, we're talking about how Kanye is basically an egocentric d*ck. We're just being decent people and respecting other artist's work. Just because your fav didn't win that category doesn't mean there's some big conspiracy behind it and that the other person didn't deserve it. We all know the grammy voters like a certain kind of music.

people are not saying it's a race issue, they're saying it's an issue with the politics within the committee (i.e. music taste, sticking it to popular music, etc.)

This is so ****ing stupid, when Bey has won SOTY, Best Female Pop Vocal and other non R&B Grammys. Meanwhile "white person" artists like Bjork, Joe Satriani, Martina McBride and Katy have never won anything. This has nothing to do with race. 10 AOTY winners since 1980 have been black. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE.

OT: This thread has nothing to do with what you are talking about anyway. The fact is Kanye is claiming he fights for creativity and artistry while tearing others art down. He is such a ****ing dumbass idiot with the worst god complex I've ever seen, I can't even comprehend.

Good post.

The reason Beck won was because it was a rock album that was basically thrown up against two R&B albums and two pop albums. The voters split their votes according to genre, and (since Grammy voters naturally favor rock, too) Beck came out on top.

Also, it's a shame that Bjork has never won for her great music.

Jokes on you, I don't even like Beyonce, Kanye or Beck outside a few songs.
