The Grammys are a farce

You know something? I am realizing that The Grammys SUCK and are pretty much worthless when judging music. Here are a few reasons why…

Nominees:

Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group
(For duo, group or collaborative performances of Rap only. Singles or Tracks only.)

Party Like A Rockstar
Shop Boyz
Track from: Rockstar Mentality
[OnDeck/Universal Republic Records]

Best Rap Song
(A Songwriter(s) Award. For Song Eligibility Guidelines see Category #3. (Artist names appear in parentheses.) Singles or Tracks only.)

Crank That (Soulja Boy)
Soulja Boy Tell’Em, songwriter (Soulja Boy Tell’Em)
[Collipark/Interscope Records; Publisher: Element 9 Recordings]

Now, disregard whoever else is nominated in this given categories. Its not really important. But just the simple fact that these idiots, these chumps, these losers, these posers like Soulja Boy and the Shop Boyz are even considered for a Grammy, let alone nominated, is a farce! These no-talent ass-clowns don’t deserve anything except a boot to the face for ruining what was once (and sometimes still is) a great genre of music.

The fact that these fools are nominated and lumped into the same category as artists like Common, Jay-Z and Kanye West is despicable.

And I ask you, does the Recording Foundation follow these guidelines when nominating bullshit like this:

“The GRAMMYs are the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position.”

The answer is a resounding “NO.”

Look, rap and hip-hop has come a long way to even be in the Grammys and have several categories at that. “Rappers” like Soulja Boy and The Shop Boyz are doing nothing besides lowering the bar for mindless pop-rap jibberish.

Idiots!

  1. The Grammy’s suck big time! Artists almost never get nominated when they are in their prime but after they are washed up etc..
